It has been confirmed that BAFTA-winning game show Taskmaster will start on Channel 4 on Thursday 15th October at 9pm.

Greg Davies will once again perch on his gleaming throne as the incomparable and all-powerful Taskmaster, with his faithful sidekick and general dogsbody Alex Horne sat by his side, scoring the efforts of five top comedians as they tackle perplexing and extraordinary challenges in the name of critically acclaimed entertainment. 

Hoping to impress the Taskmaster and be crowned the next champion are: BAFTA winning actress and writer Daisy May Cooper (This Country, BBC Three), acclaimed comedian, writer and director Johnny Vegas (Benidorm, ITV), BAFTA winning actress Katherine Parkinson (IT Crowd, Channel 4), comedian and actor Mawaan Rizwan (Live At The Apollo, BBC Two), and comedian, multi-award-winning podcaster and writer Richard Herring (RHLSTP).

Wax seals will open, dreams will be made and/or broken, and Little Alex Horne will be wrapped around his master’s little finger providing stats and moral support in the most ridiculous and ferociously fought game show on television.

Taskmaster, 9pm Thursday 15th October on Channel 4. Catch series 1-9 on All 4
