Actor, comedian and broadcaster Stephen Mangan presents a comedy chat show about shame and guilt.

In each episode, Stephen invites a different guest into his virtual confessional box to make three confessions - with remarkable storytelling and surprising insights.

In this unconventional chat show, he wants to see what really makes them tick by finding out what they are ashamed of!

Stephen and his guest reflect with empathy and humour on why we get embarrassed, where our shame thresholds should be, and the value of guilt.

In this episode, Phil Hammond, doctor, journalist and the medical correspondent for Private Eye, delivers some eye watering accounts of youthful mistakes, dubious diagnoses and Twitter (formally known as) storms.

Written and presented by Stephen Mangan

With extra material by Nick Doody

Later guests include Joan Bakewell, Clarke Peters and Phil Wang.

Producers: Dave Anderson & Frank Stirling

A 7digital production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2021.
