Summary[]
The first-part of the task was presented on a red circle. The teams had to create and play a minute of a socially distanced sport. The second-part of the task was presented on a table next to microphones. The teams had to provide the most iconic and memorable commentary on their own socially distanced sport that they had played 20 minutes earlier.
Performance[]
Alan Davies & Victoria Coren Mitchell: After Alan distilled to Victoria what was interesting about sport (expertise, athleticism and the element of surprise) they created Multisport. In the game, Victoria (who thought the surprise is what Alan described as "Magician's tricks") tried to score against Alan but could surprise him at the start of each round, whilst Alan was trying to get the ball over a badminton net behind Victoria with a cricket bat. They received 5 points each for the best sport.
Desiree Burch, Guz Khan & Morgana Robinson: Guz initially suggested he watch Desiree and Morgana hit each other with bats, leading to the creation of GuzBall where Desiree and Morgana threw balls at Guz whilst standing on one leg. During their commentary, they played characters called Rod (Morgana) who was the Scottish lead, Rodders (Guz) who was a former player and Rodney (Desiree). They received 5 points each for the best commentary.
