It’s series 22, episode 2 of Taskmaster, and we’re back in the studio with Chloe Petts, who really, really loves beans; Isy Suttie, who had a very methodical way of kissing boys; Matt Lucas, who loves rainbows and men’s bottoms; Nina Conti, who doesn’t know the difference between beans and a can; and Richard Ayoade, who doesn’t smile. 

This week’s studio joke (“joke”) involves the actual studio audience and raises questions about carrots’ color that cannot definitely be answered by spending 7 seconds on Google. Banter notwithstanding, an overall solid episode — a few highlights and no real lows. The in-studio chemistry is building nicely, Petts is competitive as hell (and I love it), and Ayoade stayed just on the right side of contrarian for me.
