Task brief

The contestants receive the task brief in the grounds of the Taskmaster house, where Paul waits next to a rope barrier and a large board. The brief for the task is as follows:

Hit the apple on your best friend's head using the weapons from Paul's armoury.

You cannot pass or move the rope barrier.

Fewest shots wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • Upon the board, there are a variety of items the contestants can throw at their 'best friend' from the task earlier in the episode, who is propped up on a chair a distance away from them.
  • The items include: a pitchfork, three coconuts, three apples, a toaster, a toy bow and arrow, some darts, a spear, and a bucket full of rocks.
