The Confession of Sheila Hancock

Available for over a year

Reluctant national treasure Dame Sheila Hancock - actor, singer, director, novelist and writer is Stephen Mangan's guest. Together they discuss inappropriate behaviour, snobbery and flagrant rule-breaking. Stephen Mangan hosts his comedy chat show about shame, guilt and occasional repentance. Each episode, Stephen invites a distinguished guest into his virtual confessional box to make three 'confessions' to him. An antidote to conventional talk shows, the guests' stories don't reflect their proudest moments. Stephen wants them to open up about their darker side - however much they may squirm. Written and presented by Stephen Mangan Additional material by Nick Doody. Producer: Frank Stirling A 7digital production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2022.
