Returning 22nd December on Channel 4

Taskmaster Champion of Champions IV

The champions are back this December for the much-anticipated Taskmaster Champion of Champions IV. There are now 20 Taskmaster Champions swanning about, revelling in the prestige of owning the coveted golden trophy that looks a tiny bit like the TaskmasterGreg Davies. Only three of those winners can also claim to be Champion of Champions, but now a fourth name will be added to that elite list as the five most recent victors collide in a one-off epic battle to see who is best at poetic rodeo, bigging themselves up, and just generally being brilliant.

The five former champs greedy for more glory are: Andy Zaltzman, John Robins, Maisie Adam, Mathew Baynton and Sam Campbell, all of whom have made startling costume choices for their tilt at immortality. The fiendish tasks they attempt will of course be administrated by the world’s most efficient assistant, Alex Horne, while Greg Davies will hand down the judgements that will decide the fate of this fantastic fivesome.

Taskmaster Champion of Champions IV will air at 9pm, Monday 22nd December on Channel 4.
