Taskmaster Champion of Champions 4 Turns Up the Heat and the Chaos
There’s a special kind of electricity around Taskmaster: Champion of Champions 4, and it really does feel different from a regular series right from the start. This time, the studio is filled with people who already know how the game works, who have already won once, and who arrive carrying confidence, grudges, and a very real fear of losing. That tension is felt immediately. It’s been described as more competitive, more intense, and slightly more unhinged, because everyone involved knows exactly what’s at stake.
What makes Champion of Champions stand apart is that nobody is learning the ropes anymore. These contestants come in knowing they can push back, argue with Greg Davies, and question Alex Horne’s authority in ways first-timers never quite dare to. The usual slow bonding that happens over ten episodes just isn’t there. Instead, five individual winners arrive fully formed, each with their own agenda, and that energy never really settles down. From a production point of view, it’s been said to be harder too, because everything has to be filmed in a single day. There’s no second chance to tweak tasks or ease people in. The challenges are deliberately more subjective, more open to interpretation, and designed to force Greg to actively judge rather than simply observe.

The line-up itself adds to the drama. Sam Campbell is described as being completely unpredictable, delivering a prize task that stood out as both baffling and brilliant. Maisie Adam, the only woman in the episode, makes a point of addressing that imbalance in a clever and funny way, turning her prize task into both a statement and a joke. It’s been noted that this episode features unusually strong prize tasks across the board, with everyone clearly aware that five points are always on the line and effort really matters at this level.
Costumes also play a big role, with some of the strongest outfits ever seen on the show. Maisie’s full commitment even takes a while to register properly, which only adds to the absurdity. The final task is highlighted as one of the strongest in the show’s history, chosen specifically because this group could be trusted to rise to it and make it funny rather than just functional.
Familiar faces like Mathew Baynton, John Robins, and Andy Zaltzman each bring very different energies. John’s competitiveness is worn openly, Andy approaches tasks with careful, almost artisanal precision, and Mathew quietly proves he belongs among the comedians despite not being a stand-up. Throughout it all, the spirit of Taskmaster remains intact. It’s still about creativity, humiliation, and laughter more than winning, even when the title of Champion of Champions is on the line.
In the end, this one-off episode is described as heightened Taskmaster: louder, sharper, and more intense, but still rooted in the same joyful nonsense that keeps people coming back.
