Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Draw the animal named on your card.

Each artist may draw three straight lines on their turn.

That artist’s teammates may have one guess after these three lines.

If the guess is incorrect, the other team’s artist can draw their straight lines.

You may not speak or communicate with your teammates in any way.

Each team member gets two points for each team victory.

Task notes

  • In episode 1 of The Taskmaster Podcast, Alex Horne shares that the idea for this task was created by the child of a future contestant. It seems likely that the future contestant he was referring to was Lee Mack. However, it has also been stated that Lee's child came up with the 'Draw the monster described by the Taskmaster' task, which appears later in this series. It is unclear whether Alex was somehow confusing the two tasks, while on the podcast.

Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • Daisy drew a bad hippo, getting extremely frustrated at Richard for not being able to guess it. Richard drew an okay kangaroo, which Daisy failed to guess. Daisy drew an okay anteater, which Richard guessed correctly.
  • Katherine drew a terrible chicken, which was guessed correctly by Johnny and Mawaan. Mawaan drew a very good jellyfish, which was guessed correctly by Johnny and Katherine. Johnny drew a bad dolphin's back, which Mawaan and Katherine failed to guess.
