Middle-aged father of twin toddlers Tim Vincent hosts this comedy panel show about modern day fatherhood. As ever, Tim is joined by regulars Russell Kane and Mick Ferry.

In the penultimate episode of the series, The Likely Dads discuss stories that they've told their children over the years, from being related to a World Cup winning South American footballer to little monsters that live in electrical fittings. They also discuss the story every parent dreads - the birds and the bees!

And they share some of the tall-tales their children have told them and how their kids subsequently reacted in the face of evidence to the contrary.

In a regular feature, Mick and Russell give their take on how they would handle hypothetical situations in the Dad-Off, and one of the Likely Dads is put to the test by trying to guess how their children answered a series of questions about their father.

Tim, Mick and Russell are joined by comedian and star of the BBC One Wales series The Tourist Trap Leroy Brito, and host of the Bisexual Brunch podcast Lewis Oakley.
