The guests in the second series of Taskmaster have been revealed.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne will return as hosts and they will be joined in the Dave series by Jon Richardson, Richard Osman, Joe Wilkinson, Katherine Ryan and Doc Brown. The new series is currently scheduled to start in June.

The guests will compete against each other in a series of unlikely tasks in which they have to demonstrate their creativity, conniving and competitiveness. Once again, rivalry will be encouraged, dodgy tactics rewarded and pitiful attempts scoffed at in the most ridiculous panel show on TV.

Taskmaster started out as a critically acclaimed live show, which ran at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2010 and 2011 with Horne hosting on his own. Series one on TV saw Josh Widdicombe resorting to getting Greg Davies' name tattooed on his foot to secure his place as series victor.
