We talk tallest-ever line-ups, dodgy internet height stats, seat-number superstitions, the "class of '74–'78" age cluster, university vs. Footlights, and Jack's ever-evolving, fully unhinged statistical model covering everything from star signs to marathon times. Plus: how Jenny helped Isy learn to drive, Nina Conti's surprisingly stacked filmography, and another series of wondering whether the real winner will be stats or instinct.......Send all your Series 22 thoughts to [email protected] you don't already have the official Taskmaster app downloaded, now's a good time!
