Taskmaster: The Chassis, the Wings (S14EP1 Channel 4 Thursday 29 September 2022)
The Chassis, the Wings: The infallible Greg Davies returns to host a mighty new series of Taskmaster. He is prepared to wreck havoc on the lives of five comics who must have known what they were getting into but still went ahead and did it anyway. Dara Ó Briain, Fern Brady, John Kearns, Munya Chawawa and Sarah Millican are the noble knights who are hoping to win this elaborate joust to become the 14th Taskmaster champion.
Little Alex Horne, the Taskmaster’s assistant, literally lives off of a diet of crisps and statistics while nestled in the centre of the action and sleeping at Greg’s feet at night. Alex will be taking notes and recording numbers with admirable (bordering on irritating) efficiency as our group of five cowering comics venture into the wilderness to try hip-touching, hand-finding, and milk-lifting.
In the opening episode, Dara Ó Briain, Fern Brady, John Kearns, Munya Chawawa and Sarah Millican fumble frozen peas and shout about fish, while Greg’s ever-loyal puppy, Little Alex Horne, lurks furtively in the background.
