Task notes

  • Babben is stood in the centre of a ring-shaped table, which is covered with fabric, and has five holes in it, through which the contestants (who are hidden beneath) can pop their heads.
  • Babben holds a soft club, with which she can bash the contestants on their heads.
  • Though it’s not specifically included in the task brief, David asks the contestants to make a specific animal noise each time they pop up.
