Taskmaster on the move to Channel 4

TELEVISION: Taskmaster will move from the UKTV channel Dave to Channel 4 for a new six-series deal.

The show, which is hosted by Greg Davies and has comedians competing in a series of strange challenges, has run for nine series on Dave.

The programmes will be screened over three years, starting in late 2020.

Taskmaster first started as a live show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before being developed for television.
