Task briefs

The briefs for the task are as follows:

Pick a biscuit.

In time with the music, dunk and un-dunk your biscuit in your tea and coffee when you hear the whistle.

At any stage, you may surrender by placing your biscuit on the plate.

If your biscuit breaks, you are disqualified.

Last fully-intact biscuit to be surrendered wins.

Task notes

  • The contestants are lined up on stage behind tables.
  • On each table there is a cup and saucer containing tea or coffee, a plate, and a doily.
  • Tom Cashman, who is standing by a tea cart, presents a plate of five assorted biscuits to the contestants to choose from, including a Nice biscuit, a Scotch Finger, an Iced VoVo, a Ginger Nut, and a Choc Ripple.
  • When the task begins, a drumbeat is played for them to dunk it time with, and the tempo of the beat decreases over time, meaning that each dunk is longer than the last.
