This week Jenny and Jack are joined by three very special guests from the UK Taskmaster production team: Amy, Andrew and Clarenz! We saw their faces a lot in series 19, but in this chat we get to hear lots of fun behind the scenes stories; from the damage done by a certain 'destroy, dismantle, engulf in flames' motto to bringing the WOW monster to life to the secret behind the number 2851 and which moments the crew struggled most with when it comes to stifling laughter.
