The almighty Greg Davies and his efficient assistant Alex Horne announce a brand-new five-piece set of distinguished comedians that they are set to score and mark with the utmost scrutiny to determine who will emerge victorious and become the next front-runner to hold aloft that remarkably shiny representation of Greg's incomparable head and become a Taskmaster Champion.

The quintet of comics who have willingly submitted themselves to the toughest physical and mental examination on television are: critically-acclaimed comedian and Edinburgh Fringe favourite Chloe Petts; award-winning comedian, writer, songwriter and actor Isy Suttie; BAFTA winning actor, author, comedian, presenter, Matt Lucas; actor, comedian, and ventriloquist Nina Conti; and multi-award-winning comedian, actor, writer and director Richard Ayoade. Like so many before them, they all believe they can impress the Taskmaster, but only one can take home the glory.
