BBC Radio 4 - The Confessional, Series 3, The Confession of Neil Dudgeon

Stephen Mangan gets another guest to reveal their guilty secrets in the confessional box.

Actor and, it turns out, born story-teller Neil Dudgeon tells Stephen stories - by turns innocently hapless, toe-curling and eye-wateringly funny.

Another edition of Stephen Mangan’s series of soul-searching, self-abasement and moral pratfalls. Each week, Stephen invites a different eminent guest into his virtual confessional booth to make three confessions. This is a cue for some rich and varied story-telling and surprising insights as the confessions are put under the microscope. It’s certainly a way to find out what really makes a person tick and have a good laugh while we’re at it.

The series continues with the Midsomer Murders star Neil Dudgeon, a consummate raconteur.
