Task notes
- In episode 12 of the Taskmaster podcast, Alex Horne revealed that there were additional instructions (in 9pt text) on the back of the task brief which read “If you put the words ‘the biggest thing’ through the doughnut, you will be disqualified and lose one point.” However, none of the contestants spotted this text or fell foul of the rule, so it was not revealed in the episode.

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- John put several objects through the doughnut, with the largest object being a large cup of tea that was 1,500cm³.
- Krishnan created a large fishing rod which was 5,000 cm³.
- Nicola put the tip of a cactus through the doughnut and spent the rest of her time making the cactus larger. Her attempt was judged to be around 1cm³.
- Rylan used forced perspective to make it appear that Linda the cow had passed though doughnut, measuring in at 800,0000cm³.
- Shirley cut a larger hole out of her doughnut and passed a large pipe through the hole which was 9,000cm³.
