The four previous series champions of the Dave show will be tested by more absurd challenges in a two-part Taskmaster Champion of Champions special, set to air this Christmas.

Greg Davies will once again rule as the all-powerful Taskmaster alongside loyal assistant Alex Horne (creator of the show). After subjecting contenders to a new set of confounding assignments, the pair will crown the ultimate Taskmaster champion.

Expect things to get very competitive. But mainly weird.
