In David Mitchell's new TV series Outsiders Comedians’ survival skills are to be put to the test in a new series fronted by David Mitchell. Five of the six have already demonstrated their ingenuity – or otherwise – on Taskmaster, and like that show, the same comics will return each week. Mitchell developed the format and will present the six hour-long epsiodes for Dave. He said: ‘Civilisation is clearly crumbling so it’s high time we worked out whether we can cope without it. And if you can think of a better way of doing that than making six comedians learn survival skills, then you weren’t involved in the development process of this programme.’
