Taskmaster confirms return date for season 17 starring Steve Pemberton
Get ready for a brand new cast of plucky comedians!
Get ready for more ludicrous tasks and hilarious one-liners all under the watchful eye of Greg Davies and Alex Horne as the release date of Taskmaster season 17 has been confirmed!
The very best and worst of tasks from Joanne McNally, John Robins, Nick Mohammed, Steve Pemberton and Sophie Willan will begin on Thursday 28th March at 9pm on Channel 4.
It's safe to say, everyone is beside themselves with anticipation to see how the five comedians fare.
Will Steve Pemberton go full Inside No. 9 with any of his creative tasks? Will Nick Mohammed do his Mr Swallow character? (It's a need more than a want at this point!)
Over the course of 10 episodes, Lord Greg will be relying on his assistant Little Alex Horne to time, note, record and measure all the activities and by the end, one celebrity will be crowned the victor.
