The Confession of Alastair Campbell

Episode 10 of 10

Stephen Mangan asks his guest Alistair Campbell 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, the writer, journalist and political strategist Alastair Campbell speaks about β€œmaladaptive competitiveness”, technology which defeats him and dressing up at Lambeth Palace.

With extra material by Nick Doody.
