THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH
The hit Radio 4 comedy panel show dedicated to incredible truth and barely credible lies, hosted by David Mitchell and featuring a series of top flight guest comedians. The rules are as follows: each of the four panelists present a short lecture that should be entirely false, save for five pieces of true information which they should attempt to smuggle past their opponents, cunningly concealed amongst the lies. Points are scored by truths that go unnoticed, while other panellists can win points if they spot a truth, or lose points if they mistake a lie for a truth.
