Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the best drum-roll-worthy item, find the secret task, complete the fortune trail, convince a child that they are sleeping, and mime proverbs to their teams.

Title context

Lucy Beaumont mentions that she’s also “never packed a boot”, after explaining to Greg during the ‘Complete the fortune trail’ task that the reason she is so bad at coin-flipping is because there has always been a man around to do it.

Alternate Titles

On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'En ole koskaan pakannut autoa', which translates as 'I've never packed a car'. [Translator credit: zador]

Taskmaster Intro

Hello! Thank you! Welcome to Taskmaster. I'm the lord of the jungle, and I'm about to eat. What will I enjoy today? A Clary casserole? Some Campbell and Beaumont sausages? Maybe a Wokoma ribeye, or an omelette made of Sue Perkins' hands? Get the buffet ready, mm-papa's sta-arving!
