Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • Ed attempted to build a river for the duck to float down out of drainpipes balanced on rubber bricks and various items. His construction kept falling apart, or else the duck didn't make it all the way down. Eventually, Ed cut off the duck's head and buried it in two different sections of the garden, then appeared to deny that the duck had ever existed. He spent 97 minutes and 9 seconds on not completing the task.
  • Kerry initially attempted to hit the duck in with a tennis racquet, before finding a 'massive bobbin', which she put the duck inside of and rolled down the driveway, missing several times. She got the duck into the pond after 16 minutes and 40 seconds.
  • Liza initially pushed Alex down the driveway in a trolley, with the duck attached to the back of the trolley with a rope. She then attached the duck to a stick which was taped to Alex's car's windscreen, which she pushed down the hill as Alex steered. She got the duck into the pond after 23 minutes and 10 seconds.
  • Lou initially tried throwing the duck before creating a rope pulley system around the Taskmaster statue so she could pull the duck into the pond. She got the duck into the pond after 15 minutes and 45 seconds.
  • Richard initially tried building a tunnel for the duck to go down, before he found the key and the rat remote control in the caravan, taping the duck to the rat and driving the rat towards the pond, but missing several times. He got the duck into the pond after 24 minutes and 20 seconds.
