Stephen Mangan invites a different eminent guest into his virtual confessional box to make three 'confessions' to him.

This is a cue for some rich and varied storytelling, and surprising insights as their confessions are put under the microscope. Settle back for a stimulating journey through the realms of shame, regret, guilt and toe-curling embarrassment
