As the BAFTA and Rose d’Or winning television series celebrates its tenth anniversary on our screens, Taskmaster has revealed the brand-new line-up of comedians who will take part in the 20th series of the international hit show. The almighty Taskmaster Greg Davies and his faithful admin keeper Alex Horne have gathered some of the most brilliant and eclectic comedy minds and assigned them one mission: to become a Taskmaster Champion.

Preparing themselves to step into the spotlight and get tasking are; critically-acclaimed breakthrough comic Ania Magliano (Live at the Apollo, BBC), comedian and presenter Maisie Adam (A League Of Their Own, Sky), award-winning comic Phil Ellis (Phil Ellis is Trying, BBC Radio 4), BAFTA-winning writer, actor, and comedian Reece Shearsmith (Inside No.9, BBC), and actor, writer, and television presenter Sanjeev Bhaskar (Goodness Gracious Me, BBC Two). Who out of these brave individuals will outwit their comrades and impress the Taskmaster the most?
