Episode 6: Spatchcock it

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best sheep-related item, pass a camel through a small gap, score a goal with a shopping bag, identify the contents of a sleeping bag, and lift a collection of items with just one hand. Also, Mel Giedroyc receives a series of special assignments involving a giant beach ball.

Title context

'Spatchcock it!' was an exclamation by Greg Davies, in response to Hugh Dennis' attempt at the 'Pass a camel through a small gap' task.

Alternate Titles

• On Denmark's TV2 Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Spatchcock den', which translates as 'Spatchcock it'. The word 'spatchcock' is not Danish, but is presumably well enough understood to use.
• On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Leikkaa se perhospaistiksi', which translates as 'Cut it into a butterfly roast'. [Translator credit: zador]

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So what have we learnt today? Well, we've learnt, when you think there's no hope left in the world, when all around us is chaos, remember that tonight, you saw a 55-year-old man score an overhead goal with a plastic bag. Let's hear it once more for our winner tonight, though. Lolly!
