Dave has announced the air date for the eighth series of Taskmaster.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne return to judge a new batch of famous competitors and will decide who is worthy of taking home the coveted 24-carat gold cast of Greg Davies’s face.

The new contestants include Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, actor Joe Thomas (White Gold), stand-up comic Lou Sanders, Paul Sinha (The Chase) and RTS award-winner Sian Gibson. 

Writing about the show for the RTS earlier this year, Taskmaster creator Alex Horne discussed the production process: “I spend more time at the Taskmaster house, by the Thames, when we are in full swing than I do at home, but it’s only fun. We think up tasks for my comedy heroes to tackle. One by one, they come and do whatever is asked of them.”

The new series of Taskmaster starts on Dave on the 8th May.
