A UK comedy format that debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival five years ago is set to be remade across Europe.

Belgium’s VTM and Sweden’s STV have picked up format rights to Taskmaster, which is from Avalon Television and was devised by comedian Alex Horne.

The 8×60′ Belgian version will air next month and is being produced by local producer DeMensen. Details of the Swedish show remain under wraps, while option deals have also been agreed by unnamed companies in Finland and the Netherlands.

The show was originally produced by Avalon for UKTV channel Dave, on which a third season will air in October.
