Episode 2: Where are the aubergines?

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must build a stork in the dark, hide three aubergines from Mark (and then guide him to them), do something impressive without their hands, pop a popcorn kernel, and sculpt the third most impressive dog.

Title context

'Where are the aubergines?' is not a phrase explicitly uttered by anyone in the episode, but is a reference to the 'Hide three aubergines from Mark (and then guide him to them)' task.

Assistant Intro

And there he is, the yang to my yin, Mark Le Fêvre. Le Fêvre is actually French, and means 'the rat king'.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode was Martin's copy of the book Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity by Nicklas Brendborg, the final chapter of which (titled 'I have saved the most important thing for last') Martin had not yet read.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

All that remains is to say something that I once read by a fire exit. It read: ‘In case of fire, thanks for tonight.’
