Summary[]
The task was presented on Ollie the Knight alongside a duck, at the top of the driveway. The contestants had to get the duck into the pond located in the garden by The Taskmaster Statue. They had to launch the duck from behind the rope at the top of the driveway and had to remain behind the rope during the ducks's journey. On Ollie, there was a key for the caravan, which contained the remote control for the remote control rat.
Performance[]
Ed Gamble: Ed attempted to build a river for the duck to float down out of drainpipes balanced on rubber bricks and various items, which either kept falling apart or the duck didn't make it all the way down. Eventually, Ed cut off the duck's head and buried it in two different sections of the garden, then appeared to deny that the duck had ever existed. He spent 97 minutes and 9 seconds before burying the duck, and was given 1 point.
Kerry Godliman: Kerry initially attempted to hit the duck in with a tennis racquet before she found a massive bobbin which she put the duck inside of and rolled down the driveway, missing several times. She got the duck into the pond after 16 minutes and 40 seconds, receiving 4 points.
Liza Tarbuck: Liza initially pushed Alex down the driveway in a trolley with the duck attached to the back of the trolley by a rope. She then attached the duck to a stick which was taped to Alex's car windscreen, which she pushed down the hill as Alex steered and had the handbrake on. She got the duck into the pond after 23 minutes and 10 seconds, receiving 3 points.
Lou Sanders: Lou initially tried throwing the duck before creating a rope pulley system around the Taskmaster statue so she could pull the duck into the pond. She got the duck into the pond after 15 minutes and 45 seconds, receiving 5 points.
Richard Herring: Richard initially tried building a tunnel for the duck to go down, before he found the key and the rat remote control in the caravan, taping the duck to the rat and driving the rat towards the pond, missing several times. He got the duck into the pond after 24 minutes and 20 seconds, receiving 2 points.
