Episode 7: Roadkill doused in syrup

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.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello, and a warm, warm welcome to Taskmaster. I'm Greg Davies, and this is my head. Never have five incongruous comedic personalities ever wanted something so badly in their lives. They want it so much that each of them has an empty award shelf waiting for this beaut to take its place. Probably.

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!
