Taskmaster series 8 will be along soon, and we can’t wait!
It’s been announced that series 8 will feature Iain Stirling, Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders, Paul Sinha and Sian Gibson.
You’ll recognise Iain Stirling’s voice from Love Island (if you watch it) and if you have kids, you may instantly remember his face as the host of CBBC’s The Dog Ate My Homework. Joe Thomas is one of the Inbetweeners, of course, starring as the the cringeworthy Simon Cooper in all of E4’s runs of the sitcom, and two spin-off movies. Elsewhere, we’ve got stand-up comedians Lou Sanders and Paul Sinha, and the irrepressible Sian Gibson from Peter Kay’s Car Share.
The new series sees some of the best brains of British television go up against each other as they conceal themselves in a phone box, make edible dust, cause a hideous food-based injury and apologise to Alex for the horrible thing they’ve done to him. The merciless Taskmaster and his obedient little man servant have devised these seemingly perplexing challenges to test their creativity, speed of thought and ability to not look like idiots. All for a 24-carat gold cast of Greg’s head and the worthy title of Taskmaster S8 Champion.
Series 8 will get underway on Dave on Wednesday 8th May.
