The Confession of Nigel Planer

Episode 9 of 10

Stephen Mangan asks his guest Nigel Planer to reveal three guilty secrets inside his virtual confessional box. From 2021.

Actor, comedian and broadcaster Stephen Mangan presents a comedy chat show about shame and guilt.

Each week, Stephen invites a different guest into his virtual confessional box to make three confessions - with remarkable storytelling and surprising insights. In this unconventional chat show, he wants to see what really makes them tick by finding out what they are ashamed of!

Stephen and his guest reflect with empathy and humour on why we get embarrassed, where our shame thresholds should be, and the value of guilt.

In this episode, Nigel Planer - writer, actor and one of the original β€˜alternative comedians’, co-founder of The Comic Strip - wrestles with three episodes from his life that have been plaguing his conscience for decades - cool shoes and a disastrous voyage among them.

Written and presented by Stephen Mangan.

With extra material by Nick Doody.

Producers: Dave Anderson and Frank Stirling
