Pop the bubble wrap

Task notes

• From the Taskmaster book: “We tried this with the contestants of series 1 and series 3. The roll of bubble wrap was 5 metres long... Tim Key found a large garden roller... Josh Widdicombe kneeled down next to the bubble wrap and wielded a knife. Unfortunately, bubble wrap is a brilliant invention. It is designed not to be popped quickly... [the] roller simply squeezed the air around the roll and failed to pop the bubbles. Josh is not particularly quick with a knife. All contestants ended up at some point jumping on the bubbles, and finally wringing them out one by one. None took less than 20 minutes and all attempts were deemed too dull to be shown on TV.”
