TASKMASTER COMMISSIONED FOR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Channel 4 announce a one-off Christmas special of the comedy game show, to air next month.

For the first time ever, the Task Cottage doors will be flung open to welcome five brand new faces from the worlds of TV, film, radio, journalism, and shiny floor entertainment, as the almighty Greg Davies sets ludicrous challenges with his Little Assistant scuttling in tow for this one-off festive special.

The well-known contestants are experts in their respective fields, and will be revealed in due course, but how will they compare in the most hard fought, high stakes, ridiculous game show on television?

The line up for the festive special and air date will be revealed in due course.

Taskmaster continues Thursdays at 9pm on Channel 4.
