Channel 4 has issued a casting call for a new entertainment programme featuring tasks dreamt up by Alex Horne.<\/p>\n
According to the entry form \u2013 which is now open for applications<\/a> \u2013 the potential series will feature UK households who must work together to complete the “fun, creative and head-scratching” challenges set by the Taskmaster<\/a> favourite.<\/p>\n The description for the series from production company Avalon reads: “The random tasks are designed to require a combination of creativity, lateral thinking, speed, some general knowledge and, of course, teamwork.<\/p>\n “The ultimate aim and requirement is to stay in the game and keep playing, in the hope of beating the other households and getting the chance to win a cash prize.”<\/p>\n Radio Times<\/a> understands the series has yet to receive a full commission but is currently in development.<\/p>\n TV fans may notice that the description sounds familiar to Horne’s BBC One series The Button<\/a>, a game show also produced by Avalon that aired in 2018.<\/p>\n The concept saw teams of families receive a giant talking button (voiced by Horne) in their living room. Whenever it lit up, they had to complete the subsequent challenge faster than their opponents across the UK.<\/p>\n At the end of the episode, the household that had won the most money could choose to keep it and not appear on the next episode, or roll it over and come back next time \u2013 but risk losing the money they had won.<\/p>\n There has been no official confirmation that the new series in development is The Button or a revamped version of it, so watch this space for any further updates.<\/p>\n
