Season 2
Doc Brown, Richard Osman, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan and Joe Wilkinson make up the new batch of comedians ready to take on the dreaded Taskmaster in series two of Dave's hilarious, critically-acclaimed gameshow-with-a-difference.
As the Taskmaster, Greg Davies will again set a series of stupefying tasks to this brand-new group of comedians with Alex Horne assisting as his right-hand-man, coaxing the hopeful champions to show their creativity and conniving competitiveness. Once again, rivalry will be encouraged, dodgy tactics rewarded and pitiful attempts scoffed at in the most dogged, hard-fought and ridiculous comedy show on TV.


Season 3
Not many series can return for a third run and claim they have footage of five comedians making out-of-season snowmen, spreading their clothes as far and as wide as possible and whispering questions at an 83-year-old called Hugh in the hope of winning a golden version of Greg Davies's head. Taskmaster can.


Season 4
Hugh Dennis, Joe Lycett, Lolly Adefope, Mel Giedroyc and Noel Fielding all believe they have what it takes to win the most coveted prize in comedy. Let Taskmaster Greg Davies be the judge of that...

Season 6
UKTV's award-winning gameshow-with-a-difference is back for a new, sixth series.
The UKTV Original series once again sees Greg Davies return as the Taskmaster himself and Alex Horne as his faithful sidekick and observer.
The time around the 10-episode series welcomes five new competitors willing to take on the fiendish and frivolous challenges. Alice Levine (BBC Radio 1, My Dad Wrote A Porno), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing), Liza Tarbuck (Upstart Crow), Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour), and Tim Vine (Not Going Out) will all compete to lift the hallowed hollow head-of-Greg-Davies-trophy in more of the funniest, most ridiculous and fiendish challenges ever seen on television.


Season 7
James Acaster, Jessica Knappett, Kerry Godliman, Phil Wang and Rhod Gilbert take on more mostly meaningless challenges, as Taskmaster Greg Davies and his assistant Alex Horne host a seventh series


Season 8
It's Series 8 of Taskmaster and some things remain comfortingly familiar. Greg Davies is still the terrifying Taskmaster who wields enough power in one withering to look to reduce any failing, flailing contestant to a quivering wreck. Alex Horne remains Greg's simpering secretary, fully equipped to provide for all his needs, whether that's in the form of stats, facts or essential grooming products. And there are the tasks themselves, which are, as usual, all at once fiendish, perplexing and utterly pointless.
But there are some vital changes, such as the five courageous contestants who, probably misguidedly, think they have what it takes to impress the Taskmaster. They are: Iain Stirling, Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders, Paul Sinha and Sian Gibson. These five find themselves in a disorienting position. On the one hand, they've bonded as they process the shared trauma of enduring Greg's unpredictable judgements. On the other, they are pitted against each other in a brutal competition to be crowned the new Taskmaster Champion and rightful owner of Greg's 24-carat skull…

Yes, Chef!

The series puts 12 highly skilled chefs, who have been nominated by their bosses, co-workers, friends and even family, through the ultimate test. These rising stars all have natural talent, but their egos, intensity, stubbornness or short fuses are holding them back from reaching their full potential. The chefs will have to prove they have the culinary chops and the right attitude to make it to the end. The chef who handles the heat, impressing with both their food and teamwork while improving their behavior, will take home the $250,000 grand prize, provided by granola brand Purely Elizabeth.

Worst Cooks in America
Chef Anne Burrell is back for a seventh season of trying to turn some of America's worst cooks into kitchen stars. This time, however, the recruits are seven celebrities who can showcase their talents on TV and in movies, but not no so much in the kitchen. Burrell competes against Worst Cooks in America newcomer Rachael Ray to see which chef can lead one contestant to make the most impressive culinary transformation. Actors Dean Cain, Ellen Cleghorne, Jaleel White and Barry Williams join reality stars Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Chris Soules and Kendra Wilkinson in boot camp. The winning star gets $50,000 for charity and bragging rights for his or her mentor. Not all of the celebrities will make the cut, however; after an opening potluck dinner each mentor selects three recruits to be on her team, leaving one celebrity to be sent home before the competition really begins. Burrell is looking to extend her record to 5-2, while Ray looks to get the win in her first season.

Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.

Ironheart
Ironheart follows Riri Williams, a 15-year old engineering genius attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Riri builds a suit based on Iron Man's armor and takes up the name Ironheart.
