The all-powerful Taskmaster Greg Davies is back with a new series of his challenge-stuffed game show, so which unlucky souls have made the grade this time?

Equipped with a new panel of James Acaster, Jessica Knappett, Kerry Godliman, Phil Wang and Rhod Gilbert, Taskmaster series 7 will premiere on Dave in early September, but Digital Spy has an exclusive first look at the gang's debut challenge.

Creeping onto screen in an eerie patch of woodland, James, Jessica, Kerry, Phil and Rhod are tasked with building the highest tower of cardboard boxes.

It's not something Jessica is particularly keen on, as she later explains her past struggles with the ancient art of cardboard box building.

Phil, oddly, appears in a lycra-tastic Bruce Lee costume which does a good job of showing everyone his... er, wang (sorry, not sorry).

Greg Davies was definitely not impressed.

Check out the full clip above.

Taskmaster was recommissioned for a further four series of unpredictable madness back in February.

If the news took you totally by surprise, then you can rest easy, because you weren't the only one.

Alex Horne, creator and executive producer of Taskmaster – as well as Greg Davies' minion – detailed his shock at Dave and UKTV's decision to order yet more chaos.

"Once more I'm surprised by and indebted to the hitherto-respected performers who have agreed to put their careers on hold to do this stupid thing, and to UKTV for allowing it to happen 9 (NINE!) times.

"Also, for the record, I'm well over six foot tall," he joked.

Taskmaster series 7 premieres on Dave on Wednesday 5 September
