Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Standing behind your plinth, place as many table tennis balls onto your helmet plate as possible.

If at any point the green lights behind you turn on, you must place your hands on your hips.

The last person to have their hands on their hips must perform an adequate bow to the Taskmaster.

You have two minutes.

Most table tennis balls on their plate wins.

Your time starts on Paul's whistle.
An image of the stage. From left to right, we see: one set of three fluorescent green light tubes, Bubbah, Dai, Karen, Mel, Ray, and a set of three fluorescent lit green light tubes. Each of the contestants has their hands on their hips, a red helmet with a plate attached to the top, and red safety goggles with very small eyeholes. Each contestant is also standing behind a plinth with a jar of orange table tennis balls on it.
