Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must transport a letter as far as possible without leaving the shed, leave a room as quickly as possible, do two things at the same time, identify the media Kjell, hold onto a phone and await further instructions, take a teddy bear on an adventure, and trick the Taskmaster into incorrectly guessing how many legs they are standing on. The guest contestant is former season 5 contestant Johanna Nordström.
