SHEEP, FURNITURE, ANCIENT GREEKS, SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE | The Unbelievable Truth | David Mitchell

Welcome back to the award-winning BBC Radio 4 show that proves the truth is far more ridiculous than anything a comedian can invent. Hosted by the king of the indignant rant, David Mitchell, our panel must attempt to smuggle five unbelievable facts through a "tissue of lies."

In this episode, we explore the surprisingly complex lives of Sheep, the strange evolution of Furniture, the bizarre daily habits of the Ancient Greeks, and the unexpected obsessions of Sherlock Holmes' creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.


🎙️ The "Unbelievable" Lectures:
Sheep: They aren't just fluffy lawnmowers. From their incredible ability to recognize human faces to their surprising history in warfare, the truth about sheep is definitely not for counting.

Furniture: It’s more than just chairs and tables. Our panellist dives into the world of "social sitting," bizarre royal bed protocols, and the lethal history of certain household items.

Ancient Greeks: Forget the philosophy for a moment. This lecture focuses on the weird reality of life in ancient times—from their questionable medical cures to their very specific (and often naked) athletic traditions.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: The man who created the world’s most logical detective was himself a believer in some very illogical things. Can the panel separate the facts of his life from the fiction of his work?

📖 Rules of the Game:
Each panellist delivers a short lecture that is almost entirely fabricated. Hidden within the nonsense are five unbelievable truths.

The Competition: The other players must "buzz in" when they think they hear a genuine fact.

The Risk: Points are awarded for spotting a truth, but you lose points for buzzing on a lie.

The Smuggle: If a speaker says a truth and no one notices, they score double points for "smuggling" it past the panel!
