Last night’s (September 23) edition of the Channel 4 gameshow was broadcast with swear words and profanities beeped, leading to complaints from some fans.

Now, hosts Horne and Davies have confirmed that the censored version was broadcast in error, and that the version shown live was intended for the station’s online streaming service All 4.

“Ah, just come off stage & have been told many times that the wrong versioning Taskmaster was played out. Really sorry,” said host Alex Horne, also the shows creator.

“Bleeped should be on All4. The normal version of this ep will be there soon. And normal service resumed next week. Thanks for understanding.”
