Season 2
Doc Brown, Richard Osman, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan and Joe Wilkinson make up the new batch of comedians ready to take on the dreaded Taskmaster in series two of Dave's hilarious, critically-acclaimed gameshow-with-a-difference.
As the Taskmaster, Greg Davies will again set a series of stupefying tasks to this brand-new group of comedians with Alex Horne assisting as his right-hand-man, coaxing the hopeful champions to show their creativity and conniving competitiveness. Once again, rivalry will be encouraged, dodgy tactics rewarded and pitiful attempts scoffed at in the most dogged, hard-fought and ridiculous comedy show on TV.
Season 3
Not many series can return for a third run and claim they have footage of five comedians making out-of-season snowmen, spreading their clothes as far and as wide as possible and whispering questions at an 83-year-old called Hugh in the hope of winning a golden version of Greg Davies's head. Taskmaster can.
Season 4
Hugh Dennis, Joe Lycett, Lolly Adefope, Mel Giedroyc and Noel Fielding all believe they have what it takes to win the most coveted prize in comedy. Let Taskmaster Greg Davies be the judge of that...

Season 6
UKTV's award-winning gameshow-with-a-difference is back for a new, sixth series.
The UKTV Original series once again sees Greg Davies return as the Taskmaster himself and Alex Horne as his faithful sidekick and observer.
The time around the 10-episode series welcomes five new competitors willing to take on the fiendish and frivolous challenges. Alice Levine (BBC Radio 1, My Dad Wrote A Porno), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing), Liza Tarbuck (Upstart Crow), Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour), and Tim Vine (Not Going Out) will all compete to lift the hallowed hollow head-of-Greg-Davies-trophy in more of the funniest, most ridiculous and fiendish challenges ever seen on television.
Season 7
James Acaster, Jessica Knappett, Kerry Godliman, Phil Wang and Rhod Gilbert take on more mostly meaningless challenges, as Taskmaster Greg Davies and his assistant Alex Horne host a seventh series
Season 8
It's Series 8 of Taskmaster and some things remain comfortingly familiar. Greg Davies is still the terrifying Taskmaster who wields enough power in one withering to look to reduce any failing, flailing contestant to a quivering wreck. Alex Horne remains Greg's simpering secretary, fully equipped to provide for all his needs, whether that's in the form of stats, facts or essential grooming products. And there are the tasks themselves, which are, as usual, all at once fiendish, perplexing and utterly pointless.
But there are some vital changes, such as the five courageous contestants who, probably misguidedly, think they have what it takes to impress the Taskmaster. They are: Iain Stirling, Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders, Paul Sinha and Sian Gibson. These five find themselves in a disorienting position. On the one hand, they've bonded as they process the shared trauma of enduring Greg's unpredictable judgements. On the other, they are pitted against each other in a brutal competition to be crowned the new Taskmaster Champion and rightful owner of Greg's 24-carat skull…
