Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the scariest thing from the kitchen, knock the bails off some stumps, draw the contents of a box, list and then mime obscure animals, make and eat a pancake with objects tucked into a headband, and roll eggs to the centre of a target.

Title context

'Roadkill doused in syrup' was how Alice Levine described one of the objects in the box, in the 'Draw the contents of the box' task.

    Assistant Intro

    And, next to me, a man who wafts into the studio like he's Lord Lucan. Oh, here he is! It's little Alex Horne!

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that Taskmaster is a dangerous place. Beware Asim Chaudhry's laser-beam turtle. Beware Liza Tarbuck's rolling oil drum. Beware the flying contents of Alice Levine's headband. Beware Russell Howard's unpredictable egg. But most of all, beware Tim's cupboard door! It's a bit loose! And of course, Russell Howard won the episode. Isn't he just the best? Thanks for joining us, we'll see you next time. Good night!
