Your Time Starts Now — new show for Alex Horne set in the Taskmaster universe

The show builds on earlier incarnation The Button.

What is Your Time Starts Now

Here’s what we’ve learned from the press release:

Channel 4 are piloting a new play-at-home gameshow, Your Time Starts Now (w/t), devised and developed by Alex Horne, creator and host of  Taskmaster and Andy Devonshire, founding Series Director on shows including The Apprentice, The Great British Bake Off and Taskmaster.

In terms of the actual programme:

Set in the Taskmaster universe, the new show builds on the at-home ingenuity of earlier incarnation The Button, which Horne devised and narrated in 2018, and HomeTasking that saw Horne on a mission to entertain a world stuck in 2020’s lockdown. 

It should be noted Taskmaster itself was built open a concept Horne first trialled at the Edinburgh Fringe. As to shows having their own universe, we’re beginning to think it’s more than a little OTT, but we know what they mean. There’s a little more detail:

…will see UK households compete against one another while tackling a host of his typically devious tasks without ever leaving their homes. Five teams of friends and families across the UK will need to display creativity, lateral thinking, speed, knowledge and teamwork if they want to win.

We will bring you more news as we get it.
