Описание: Here is the description for Season 26 of the ever-popular BBC Radio 4 comedy panel game, "The Unbelievable Truth."

🎙️ The Unbelievable Truth: Season 26 | BBC Radio Show
Hosted by: David Mitchell Original Broadcast: 2021 Network: BBC Radio 4

🔍 The Concept: Truth in a Haystack of Lies
In Season 26, David Mitchell continues to preside over the show where "the truth is more unbelievable than the lies." The format is a masterclass in deception: four comedians deliver lectures that are 99% complete rubbish. However, hidden within the nonsense are five true facts.

Opposing panelists must ring their bells to "capture" a truth. If they get it right, they score; if they fall for a lie, they lose points and face Mitchell's sarcastic disapproval.

Richard Osman: The "Trivia King" who uses his encyclopedic knowledge to hunt down the hidden truths.
