Summary[]
The task was presented on a plinth next to a bingo board. The contestants had to complete tasks on a bingo board based on the number drawn from Alex's Bingo cage. Once they complete a task, they received an "X" on the board in place of the task. They had to get three in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) or all four corners and shout "Line" to finish the task. The bingo board looked like:
| Rise and shine: 29 | Knock on the door: 4 | Tickle me: 63 |
| Dirty Gertie: 30 | Grandma's getting frisky: 60 | Two little ducks: 22 |
| Stuck in the tree: 53 | Heinz varieties: 57 | Christmas cake: 38 |
Performance[]
Frankie Boyle: Frankie completed tasks 53, 22, 63, 30 and 60 by getting the banana sign out of the tree; throwing the bin over the gate after emptying it over the floor; calling his neighbour John and burning the bubble wrap. Although he completed a line in 14 minutes and 38 seconds, he was docked a point for not getting the actual banana. Instead of 4 points, he received 3 points.
Ivo Graham: Ivo got Alex to reveal all of the bingo balls so he could choose which tasks he completed. He completed tasks 4, 63 (mislabelled as 57), 53, 22, 29 and 30, by throwing the bin over the gate; accidentally sitting in the caravan instead of the shed; using a big tube to get the banana; and getting stuck on a phone call with a doctor called John. He completed a line in 25 minutes and 27 seconds, receiving 2 points.
Jenny Eclair: Jenny completed tasks 53, 22, 29 and 30 by getting the banana sign out of the tree; screaming dramatically and ringing a random man called John. Although she completed a line in 8 minutes and 12 seconds, she was docked for not getting the actual banana. Instead of 5 points, she received 4 points.
Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Kiell completed tasks 22, 63, 29, 53 and 30, by complaining about not wearing any shoes; attempting to empty the bin into the bath before pouring the water on the floor; using a big stick to get the banana; and ringing John Lewis. He completed a line in 20 minutes and 30 seconds, receiving 3 points.
Mae Martin: Mae completed tasks 57, 4, and 38 quickly before spending 20 minutes on task 60 by cutting through each bubble on the bubble wrap. They completed a line in 26 minutes and 13 seconds, receiving 1 point.
