Season 5, Episode 4 - 'Residue Around The Hoof' | Full Episode | Taskmaster

Introduction and Souvenirs00:00:00

Greg Davis welcomes the contestants and introduces the prize category: most extraordinary souvenir. Contestants present items including ABBA Monopoly, a Q8 t-shirt from a place they weren't allowed into, a leaf from the Lord of the Rings set, a stuffed woodpecker, and a bag of baby teeth. Greg judges the items, awarding points to Nish and Bob.

Making Marmite00:06:30

Contestants have 10 minutes to select ingredients and 10 minutes to make Marmite. Bob uses beef oxo cubes, Mark uses various ingredients resulting in an appalling texture, Nish uses actual Marmite in his mixture, Sally brings soggy bread, and Ashling makes a mixture that looks like baby poo. Greg judges the taste and consistency, awarding the win to Bob.

Synchronized Behavior00:16:33

Contestants are split into teams for a task to do something remarkably synchronized within 30 minutes. Mark and Nish attempt a synchronized walk and whiskey drinking but fail. Sally, Ashling, and Bob rehearse a complex routine involving tea drinking and throwing mugs, performing it almost perfectly. Greg awards three points to the trio and two points to Mark and Nish.

Blindfolded Observation and Cucumbers00:22:02

While blindfolded, contestants must blow up a balloon to the circumference of a cucumber and then identify ten changes made to the room. Ashling notices Alex is missing and wins the observation task. Mark is closest in measuring the cucumber circumference. Points are distributed based on accuracy in both sections.

Sneezing Challenge00:31:13

Contestants are challenged to sneeze as fast as possible. Most struggle or fake sneezes. Bob sneezes naturally in ten minutes, while Mark forces one after 40 minutes and submits video evidence over several days. Greg awards five points to Bob and four to Mark.

Final Task and Tie-Break00:38:28

The final task involves standing on one leg over a balloon while playing 'Greg says Alex says'. Ashling wins the task, leading to a draw between her and Mark on the leaderboard. A tie-break challenge requires contestants to throw a picture of Fred into a bin behind them while staring at a picture of Greg. Mark succeeds in 15 attempts compared to Ashling's 66, winning the episode.
