Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the hippest headwear, make a coconut-flinging machine, paint a rainbow in the dark, slice bread using something from the caravan, create the greatest splat, and paint their own canvas.

Title context

'The leprechaun or the lesbian' was something Alex Horne said, when asking Greg to choose the winner of the 'Paint a rainbow in the dark' task.

Alternate Titles

  • On Denmark's TV2 Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Den lede nisse eller den lesbiske', which translates as 'The mean elf or the lesbian'. Since leprechauns do not exist in Danish folklore, 'mean elf' is the closest equivalent.
  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Haltia tai lesbo', which translates as 'The elf or the lesbian'. [Translator credit: zador]

    And, perched next to me, he's the thought that counts... Oh look! It's little Alex Horne!

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    So what have we learnt today? We've learnt that wherever Paul Young lays his machine, that's his home. But the other thing that we've learnt is that Sally has won tonight's episode. Well done to her, and goodbye to you. Goodbye!
