However, just a few episodes into its new season, the critically acclaimed and BAFTA-winning series is being pushed out of its prime time slot.
Next month, on Thursday 2nd November, Taskmaster will air at the later time of 10pm on Channel 4.
The shock move comes as part of a schedule shake-up at Channel 4 which will see Don’t Look Down for SU2C move from its usual Tuesday slot to fill the prime time space.
