• As the team enter the room and hear the upbeat music playing, Dara compliments the ambience and Fern seems impressed by the light show. The team then sit down in silence and wait for the music to end, with John, in particular, looking very uncomfortable, and Fern looking unsure, while Dara appears to be enjoying himself. However, as they open the task brief, they are all singing the tune in unison. They then listen to the tune again, to try to spark some ideas. Fern questions how to "draw a dance number", and then draws a very simplistic sketch of the three of them on the task brief, which John presents to camera with the phrase "there is this idea, of course...". In studio, Fern reveals that she'd completely forgotten that she'd created the "shit" drawing. The team's routine for the music takes the form of an intro sequence for a fictional 1980s American sitcom titled 'Scalpel Please!', with Fern playing the actor Brandy Alexander (who plays a doctor), Dara playing the actor Biff Chippington (who, he reveals, in studio, plays the doctor character, Chip Biffington, thus coining the episode title), and John as the actor Coco Pops (who plays a recurring senior doctor/patient character, who dies every week). In their routine, filmed in the lab, John lies on the operating table, wide awake, while the two doctors dance in and out of frame, wielding unlikely surgical devices (a kitchen knife and a pizza cutter) and operate on him, removing a length of tumble drier vent tubing, a length of bunting, and his skull (through his stomach, naturally). Finally, Fern waters John with a watering can, and Dara extracts a rose from his body, which he presents to her, before all three of them grin at the camera as the show's title appears. Greg awards the team first place for their creation.
• As the team enter the room and hear the upbeat music playing, Munya starts beatboxing along with it, and then dances while Sarah mimes playing the drums. By the end, they are both dancing in their seats. Upon reading the task brief, Sarah insists that "we just did it!" and "that's all that I've got!". Munya leads the idea generation by claiming that he knows "seven types of martial arts". When he challenges Sarah to try and hit him, she insists that she'll do it later, when he's "making a cup of tea", rather than now, when he's ready. After Munya suggests they do a work-out routine, Sarah apologises in advance for any "accidental farts", which seems to stun him. Their routine takes the form of a martial arts training montage, with Munya, as the sensei, trying to improve Sarah's skills and confidence, so she can punch through a wall of (foam) bricks, which has been erected on Greg's statue's lap. The training includes regular push-ups, punching a ciabatta, blocking practice, two-finger push-ups, and punching thrown balls, before Sarah is able to finally punch through the wall, at the end of the music. In studio, Sarah explains that the ciabatta was a substitute for having a whole cow carcass to punch, as is seen in the movie Rocky. Feeling generous, Greg decides to award the team four points for their effort.
