Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Confessions Collective for an episode featuring village newsletters, VHS carnage and a cigarette-based science experiment that absolutely shouldn’t be repeated.

First, nine-year-old James “helps” his vicar dad with a community email…

Then Rebecca admits she turned a brand-new VHS player into a Hot Wheels garage, and let her little brother take the blame.

Plus: Andy’s weapon-grade party-popper cigarettes, and a micro-school teacher with the strangest problem of all.

Step into the confessional for a special delve into the crypt for this week's episode of Simon Mayo's Confessions!

First: a Devon carnival prank goes full folk‑horror when a lovingly crafted coffin is launched into a river… and drifts 20 miles into the local paper. Then a “helpful” son‑in‑law turns “bingo” into “strip club” on his mother‑in‑law’s phone — with an email to a politician as the punchline.

Plus: a dad accidentally cosplays as a hotshot surgeon (socks included), and a twin‑buggy wisecrack that haunts a marriage.

Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Collective for a week of stains, spirits and seriously questionable decisions

First up, a gem from the crypt: Soviet-era Ukraine, super-strength homemade vodka, and a flock of geese who get so hammered they’re mistaken for dead… until they reappear very much alive, very naked, and very honky.

Then Richard admits to provoking the Tokoloshi in 1970s South Africa. Mr P's confession involves 15 litres of carpet glue and one blamed child, and Mark & Elaine’s enjoy a drive‑thru… in an imaginary car.
