Channel 4 has confirmed that a hit true crime doc that’s previously left fans feeling “physically sick” will air next week.
Taskmaster is drawing to a close and Channel 4 has already revealed what will fill its slot next week.
Greg Davies and Alex Horne are presiding over the final instalment of their quirky Channel 4 game show tonight, Thursday, June 11, with the five celebrities keen to claim the coveted golden Taskmaster trophy.
At present, comedian Amy Gledhill, writer Armando Iannucci, actor Kumail Nanjiani and Gavin and Stacey’s Joanna Page all remain in contention for victory, though presenter Joel Dommett unfortunately no longer has sufficient points.
Channel 4 audiences are keenly anticipating the finale, but many are already curious about what will succeed Taskmaster following its 10-week run in the Thursday evening primetime schedule.
It has now been confirmed that Taskmaster series 21’s replacement next week is a “real hidden gem” that has both “captivated” and previously left audiences feeling “physically sick”.
Billed as an “eye-opening” true crime documentary series, Channel 4 is scheduled to repeat a popular episode of 24 Hours in Police Custody.
The critically acclaimed programme follows the daily work of officers investigating serious crimes, documenting the journey from initial arrest through to final charge.
Originally broadcast in 2021, this episode, titled The No Body Murder, which follows Cambridgeshire Police, sees “DCI Adam Gallop believe a man declared missing in 2015 has been murdered.
“But has so far been unable to locate his body and the more time passes, the less chance there is of new witnesses or forensic evidence turning up.”
The official description continues: “The police investigation takes officers from an urgent excavation in the woods where the missing man is believed to have been shot to a journey across Europe in search of clues.”
Writing on IMDb, one viewer commented: “Arguably ‘true crime’ has never seen a better documentary.”
Another described it as “Gripping, unpredictable, shocking. A fantastic insight into the Police in Beds/Cambs. Unmissable TV.”
A third viewer observed: “Pure drama that challenges the perception of modern day police work and the modern day accused.”
However, before 24 Hours in Police Custody returns to screens next week, viewers must first enjoy tonight’s Taskmaster finale.
The official synopsis for this evening’s Taskmaster final reads: “Amy Gledhill literally tears her hair out, Armando Iannucci plays the recorder while riding a trike with a plunger on his head.
“Joel Dommett sniffs the contents of a vacuum, Kumail Nanjiani mistreats a beloved resident of the Taskmaster house and Joanna Page lays waste to Little Alex Horne. Plus, the greatest pillow fights of all time.”
24 Hours in Police Custody is available to watch on Channel 4.
