Stephen Mangan encourages new year's resolution in the confessional with comic Maisie Adam

The award-winning comedian Maisie Adam worries about her relationship with the truth, as she tries to tell it to Stephen Mangan. She worries about psychopathic tendencies too.

Each week Stephen Mangan invites another distinguished guest into his virtual confessional box to make three ‘confessions’ to him. An antidote to conventional talk shows, their stories do not reflect their proudest moments. Stephen could not be less interested in those. He wants them to open up about their darker side. Settle back for stimulating journeys through shame, regret and toe-curling embarrassment.

This time the penitent taking the hot seat is comedian Maisie Adam. The 'So You Think You're Funny?' winner discusses a new-found tendency to lie, nefarious uses for soggy paper and whether she has the makings of a psychopath.
