Taskmaster - Season 6
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.
