The uncompromising Taskmaster Greg Davies is set to uphold tradition and invite the winners of series six to ten to a brand-new Champion of Champions tournament, adjudicated by the PA of PAs, Little Alex Horne. Hot on the heels of a heroically fought 13th series of the BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning show, five task titans will compete in the ultimate quest for victory at 9pm on Thursday 23rd June on Channel 4.
Returning to the scene of the greatest triumph of their lives to try and become the next Champion of Champions, Greg’s expectations will be sky high as he watches previous Taskmaster Champions Ed Gamble destroy a bath toy, Kerry Godliman rolling a bobbin, Liza Tarbuck avoiding low-flying bananas, Lou Sanders painting on skates and Richard Herring revealing his bare feet. Who will emerge as the ultimate victor and bask in the glory of the greatest triumph in television?
Taskmaster Champion of Champions airs at 9pm, Thursday 23rd June 2022 on Channel 4
Previews available via Ready To Air
