Fresh off winning Best Entertainment Show at this year’s Broadcast Awards, it has been announced that UKTV has ordered four more series of BAFTA and EMMY-nominated Taskmaster from Avalon for its award-winning comedy and entertainment channel, Dave. Greg Davies will return as the all-powerful Taskmaster alongside his ever-loyal assistant Alex Horne for series six, seven, eight and nine, of the UKTV Original series.
Catastrophe has won Best Comedy Programme at the Broadcast Awards 2018.
Dave's acclaimed show Taskmaster won Best Entertainment Programme.
Horrible Histories won Best Children's Programme.
Black Mirror's San Junipero episode won Best Single Drama.
And the Who Do You Think You Are? episode which revealed that Danny Dyer has royal ancestry won Best Popular Factual Programme.
The final episode of the Taskmaster Champion of Champions has been broadcast tonight on Dave.
And the winner is... Josh Widdicombe.
Widdicombe beat the other four winners of previous series of the show overall after various challenges. The quintet of winners were Rob Beckett, Widdicombe, Katherine Ryan, Noel Fielding and the most recent victor, Bob Mortimer who helped to secure his triumph by getting into the boot of his car and cuddling Alex Horne.
The date has been revealed for the Taskmaster Champion of Champions special edition.
The first of two shows will be broadcast on Dave on December 13 at 9pm. The second show will follow at the same time on December 20.
Bob Mortimer is the winner of series 5 of Taskmaster, which concluded on Dave on Wednesday night.
He triumphed over fellow comics Aisling Bea, Sally Phillips, Mark Watson and Nish Kumar.
RTS Futures has teamed up with the creators of Avalon’s hit UKTV comedy game show, Taskmaster, to offer the ultimate masterclass in bringing ideas to TV.
The problem about making more than one episode available to view online before a series has aired is that idiots like me might not watch the show in the right order. That's why I posted a review of the second episode and not the first one earlier today. The Brucie bonus is that I was able to watch a second edition of this hugely enjoyable series today before it airs on Dave as well. Hardly a chore.
Is Taskmaster the best show on Dave? It certainly seems to be the most talked about among my comedy-fan friends. And perhaps that’s not surprising given the calibre of guests it attracts. This fifth series boasts Bob Mortimer, Sally Phillips, Mark Watson, Aisling Bea and Nish Kumar.
