In the third episode of Taskmaster season 3, titled "Little polythene grief cave," host Greg Davies once again challenges his contestants with wacky and unpredictable tasks that put their creativity and wit to the test. The lineup of comedians includes Bob Mortimer, Al Murray, Roisin Conaty, Paul Chowdhry, and Josh Widdicombe.
The episode opens with a task where the contestants must try to blow out a candle through a cardboard box while standing on one leg. There are bonus points for creative approaches, and the results are hilarious as the comedians try everything from using a vacuum cleaner to blowing the candle out with a fire extinguisher.
The next task involves finding and retrieving an object that has been hidden somewhere in the studio without using any form of communication or asking any questions. The contestants must use their observational skills and come up with a strategy to search for the object without cluing in their competitors.
The third task takes place outside the studio, where the contestants are instructed to find a specific item in a supermarket as quickly as possible without asking any staff members for help. This task proves to be both challenging and entertaining as the comedians race around the store, struggling to locate the item while trying to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
The fourth task is a group challenge where the contestants must work together to create a convincing demonstration of a magic trick using only household objects. The results are a mix of clever and ridiculous as the comedians use everything from a toaster to a tennis racket to perform their tricks.
The final task of the episode is one of the show's most iconic challenges: the live task. In this task, the contestants must build a tower using a specific set of materials, with the catch being that they can only use one hand each. The live task adds an extra layer of pressure and entertainment as the comedians race against the clock to construct their towers, while also trying to sabotage their opponents' progress.
As always, the episode is full of hilarious moments, unexpected twists, and impressive displays of creativity and problem-solving skills from the contestants. The chemistry between the comedians is evident throughout, as they play off each other's jokes and compete fiercely to impress both Taskmaster Greg Davies and his assistant, Alex Horne.
