Episode 8: What kind of pictures?

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most interesting footwear, put something surprising inside a chocolate egg, find out what they have in common with a stranger, make a join-the-dots image using stiletto heels, and stick plasters to the correct body parts. In an exciting tie-breaker, two contestants compete to see who can most quickly receive a text message.

Title context

'What kind of pictures?' was how Liza Tarbuck responded to Alex's question about whether he'd be able to find any pictures of her wearing purple, in the 'Find out what you have in common with a stranger' task.

Hello. I am Greg Davies, and this is Taskmaster. Back when I was posing for this trophy, I started thinking about our contestants. Thinking about the enormous pressure they're under here, and how you can see the lines getting deeper and deeper on their already exhausted faces. That was a good day. So, let's get on with it and meet the five people battling it out to make you happy.
