Task brief
The brief for the task is as follows:
Select a pose, then step into this box and strike it.
One of the doors will open to reveal part of your pose to the Taskmaster.
The door that opens will be randomly selected.
You may not move or change your pose or expression after the door has opened.
Most poses deciphered by the Taskmaster wins.
The first contestant will pick their first pose from Tom’s deck of cards.
Task notes
- The contestants are lined up side-by-side on their TM-branded red marker spots along the right-hand side of the stage.
- At the rear of the stage, there is a large board on an easel with the following list of poses for the contestants to choose from:
- Cowboy
- Ballerina
- Tightrope walker
- Sprinter
- Jogger
- Olympic power walker
- James Bond
- Coolest person at party
- Fashion model
- Arnold Schwarzzeneger (which should actually be spelled ‘Schwarzenegger’)
- Mime
- Karate practitioner
- Tom Cashman
- Appealing cricket bowler
- Cricket umpire signalling out
- Next to this board, there is a plinth on which there is a deck of cards for the contestants to pick from, thereby selecting their chosen pose for the round.
- At the left of the stage, there is a cubicle with three doors on its front, which may be opened independently of one another: the top door reveals just the occupant’s head; the middle door reveals just their torso; and the lower door reveals just their legs.
- For each contestant’s attempt in each round, the door to be opened is selected at random, as signified by lights on the front of each door which cycle between red (closed) and green (open).
- A block is provided in the cubicle for the shorter contestants to stand on, to ensure that their heads are correctly positioned for the top door.
