We present The Unbelievable Truth, the panel game built on truth and lies. In the chair, please welcome David Mitchell. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello and welcome to The Unbelievable Truth, Please welcome David Mitchell Welcome to the unbelievable truth the panel show about incredible truth and fairly credible lies I'm David Mitchell and good news This show was recently voted one of the top 50 laugh out loud programs of the last decade just behind Prince Andrew on Newsnight For our panel this week for four panellists known for their infectious laughter was the last thing we wanted. So we got these four instead.

Please welcome Henning Vein, Ria Lina, Holly Walsh and Richard Osman. The rules were as follows. Each panellist will present a short lecture that should be entirely false, save for five hidden truths which their opponent should try to identify. Points are scored by truths that go unnoticed, while other panellists can win points if they spot a truth or lose points if they mistake a lie for a truth. First up is Holly Walsh.

Holly writes both the BBC One sitcom Motherland and the BBC Two sitcom The Other One. Her husband is the BBC's director of comedy. No-one is implying anything. Holly, your subject is Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia and one of history's greatest military strategists. Off you go, Holly. Fingers on buzzers, the rest of you. Alexander the Great, son of Catherine the Great

and Alexander Boris de Pfeffel-Johnson... LAUGHTER ..is officially the second-best Alexander to ever exist, after Alexander the Greater and just above Alexander Armstrong, who was out in front but dropped a few places after he bought out that album. Richard. Yeah. LAUGHTER

Well, you think before that, Alexander Armstrong was classed as a greater Alexander than Alexander the Great? Yeah, I think if you polled the British public, Alexander Armstrong would win until the album. Fair enough, you get a point. Thank you. He was famously a terrible soldier. He couldn't swim, fainted at the sight of blood, he once cut off his own finger whilst trying to put away his sword

and often slept until noon, meaning he missed the first half of every battle he fought in, leading to his famous catchphrase, Who's winning then? Kenny. Well, my problem with this lecture is I don't know anything about Alexander the Great. So it all sounds plausible, but...

If I knew more about him, I would feel more at ease in this lecture. Right. Yes. Thanks for sharing that. Is it plausible? Can he swim? I don't know. Maybe... Yeah, he couldn't swim. Is that what you're going for? Yeah, he could not swim whatsoever. You're absolutely right. According to Plutarch, Alexander the Great couldn't swim.

Contrary to popular belief, he was actually called the Great because he used to grate carrots, then rub them in his hair as he was desperate to be ginger. When that didn't work, he would wash his hair in saffron and several times went into battle with bunches of orange buckthorn berries strapped to the sides of his head like a fruity princess Leia. Ria. I'm going to say saffron because I'm not sure if the other two...

Well, carrots weren't orange back then. They were purple if they had them at all. So... Good knowledge of the history of carrot colour. I know. I'm going to go saffron, because he was great and it was expensive. You're absolutely right. Alexander the Great washed his hair in saffron

to keep it shiny and strawberry blonde. At the time, saffron was as rare as diamonds and more expensive than gold. Despite this, Alexander is known to have added saffron to his bathwater and recommended his soldiers to do the same, believing it would heal their wounds. I bet he said, I don't mean saffron, do I? I mean savalon. By the age of 20, he had rampaged through most of Europe,

thus inventing the gap year. But he refused to set foot in Greece because, and here I translate from the Macedonian, I don't trust that weird squeaky cheese. He named all four of his children Alexander, which is particularly annoying for his daughter, Alexander. He also named his horse Alexander the Horse, and his dog Sir Humpselot.

Despite all the sweaty battles and hair vegetation, Alex smelled amazing, with one poet describing his musk as that of a wild cat, bursting forth from the fragrant undergrowth of the Congo, or, in other words, Lynx Africa. He has been portrayed on screen by most of the great actors in history, Nicholas Cage, William Shatner, Steve McFadden, and, of course, Madonna in her ancient Greek musical william shatner steve mcfadden and of course

madonna in her ancient greek musical papadopoulos don't preach and that's everything about alexander the great the second best alexander at least until the arrival of alexander the greatest thank you holly at the end of that round holly you've managed to smuggle three truths past the rest of the panel, which are that Alexander the Great often slept until noon. According to Plutarch's Life of Alexander, he would stay up late eating and drinking and would then sleep until noon. The second truth is that Alexander smelled amazing.

In Plutarch's Life of Alexander... We're relying quite heavily on Plutarch's Life of Alexander, we're relying quite heavily on Plutarch's Life of Alexander. A most agreeable odour exuded from Alexander's skin and that his breath and body all over was so fragrant as to perfume the clothes which he wore. The third truth is that he has been portrayed on screen by William Shatner. William Shatner, Captain Kirk from Star Trek, played Alexander opposite Adam West, Batman from the iconic TV series, in a 1963 TV pilot called Alexander the Great. Adam West commented, it turned out to be one of the worst scripts I've ever read and it was one of the worst things I've

ever done. Not only was it not picked up by the network, but it stayed locked in a vault for the next four years. And that means, Holly, you've scored three points. When he died, Alexander the Great was preserved in a sarcophagus filled with honey. Sorry, not Alexander the Great. Winnie the Pooh. Jennifer Arcuri says she saved Boris Johnson's phone number in her phone as Alexander the Great to protect his identity.

A good plan only spoiled when she then told everyone she'd had sex with him. OK, we turn now to Henning Vein. Henning, your subject is squirrels. Small, arboreal, bushy-tailed rodents that feed on nuts and seeds and one of the English Gwyrrls. Gwrdd o'r rhodenau sy'n bwydo ar nwtiau a'r gwirfod, ac un o'r enwau anifeiliaid Cymraeg y mae'r Nymraeg yn cael eu troi'n anodd i'w hysgrifennu. Ffingurau ar gyfer bawb arall. Yn ymlaen i Henning. Gwrdd o'r rhodenau.

Gwrdd o'r rhodenau! Rwy'n dod â'r rhodenau i fyny. Squirrels were invented by Jesus. Well, you say it one more time. Squirrels. Squirrels. Yeah. Them things were invented.....were invented by Jesus... LAUGHTER APPLAUSE

..were invented by Jesus as the first and mildest of the seven plagues of Egypt. They played havoc with the pharaoh's recycling bins. And they had all the nuts he had left out for the blue tits. Them things became sacred creatures in King Ramses II's reign, and they can be seen in tomb hieroglyphics teaching children road safety.

But it's not just God who sends squirrel plagues. Sometimes it's his friend, Odin. It is believed that the Vikings brought leprosy to Britain in the fur of their pet squirrels. Ria. Yes. True. Yes, leprosy, squirrel leprosy. APPLAUSE Absolutely right.

Archaeologists from Cambridge University believe the Vikings brought leprosy to England via their trade in red squirrels. Squirrels, like armadillos, are known to be carriers of fel cyflogwyr o llyfrwyddoedd, ac mae'r dynion wedi cadw gwirfoddau fel pet, yn ogystal â'u trafod eu pelt. Mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonom yn gallu trafod ein fawr o gwirfoddau yn ôl i'r amser y gwnaethom ddarllen Beatrix Potter yn gyntaf o bwydau. Ond mae gwirfoddau gwirfoddau yn gwneud petau gwych, LAUGHTER But wild squirrels do make fantastic pets and are loyal, affectionate

and can do basic electrical work with their teeth. LAUGHTER In fact, squirrels were the most popular pet in America from the 1700s onward and were available in all good pet shops. Richard. Were squirrels available in American pet shops? They certainly were, yes. In the 18th and 19th centuries,

squirrels were the most popular pet in America and sold in pet shops. The 1851 book Domestic Pets, Their Habits and Management devotes an entire chapter to the squirrel, saying, squirrels may be taught to jump from one hand to the other to search for a hidden nut, and it soon knows its name and the persons who feed it. Wealthy families would adorn their squirrels with gold chain leashes and commission portraits of their children

alongside their beloved pet squirrels. Wow. So, yeah, don't know why people want guinea pigs instead now. Well, I'll answer your question now, David, because since the heyday, why have squirrels fallen out of the charts? Well, for'll answer your question now, David, because since the heyday, why have squirrels fallen out of the charts? Well, for one thing, David Attenborough absolutely hates them. And in 1978, he said,

squirrels need to take a long, hard look at themselves. They're the only animal I would throw under a bus. In fact, Attenborough refused to do a second series of Life on Earth because the producer wanted to include a large section on squirrels, which he finally agreed to, but insisted on calling them potty-mouthed vermin. Ria. Does David Attenborough hate squirrels? He doesn't hate them.

Oh, he doesn't? No, no. David Attenborough loves all animals. Does he? He thinks we need all of the ones. All of them? Even the ones that we all know are disgusting animals. He thinks, in some way, play a role.

Wow. Which are the disgusting animals, David? Yeah. Well, squirrels are, actually. Because squirrels go to the toilet in their mother's mouth. Which in most other species is considered disrespectful. Even in France. Richard? I mean, do they do that?

It's a funny lie to make up. Richard. Dwi'n meddwl, ydy'r gwirionedd yma? Mae'n ddifrif yn dweud hynny. Richard. Dwi'n meddwl, ydy'r gwirionedd yma? Richard. Dwi'n meddwl, ydy'r gwirionedd yma? Richard. Dwi'n meddwl, ydy'r gwirionedd yma? Richard.

Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard.

Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Richard. Mae gwirfod yn un o'r rhai gwahanol gwahanol, mae'r ddŵr yn un arall, lle mae'r mam yn defnyddio ei wythnos i gyrru'i llyfrau, y llyfrau a'r ffysi oddi wrth y nes er mwyn cadw'r ffermwyr o'r cwmni. Ond yn y ffilm Bambi, dydyn nhw ddim yn canolbwyntio ar hynny. Mae'n ddim yn canolbwyntio ar hynny. Henning. Yn y cyfnod, mae'r gwirfod gwirfod Cenedig yn gwneud ei hun o'i hwyrwyr, sy'n gynhyrchu sirwp mepl organig.

Mae pawb yn gwybod ein gwirfod gwirfod gwirfod gwirfod gwirfod yn gwneud treacle from Aldi Prince Charles once suggested reducing squirrel numbers by putting contraceptives in Nutella And Princess Diana wanted to use gray squirrels to detonate landmines as part of her work for the landmine trust Richard is that true the princess diana that's a really good idea yeah yeah like not for the squirrel to be fair but they used to herd sheep across minefields didn't they what squirrels squirrels are too cunning they'll say oh yeah oh, yeah, I'll get to that. Just have a word with the sheep.

Just as a practical joke. So I hear you ask, what does the future hold for Britain's squirrels? Well, the grey ones are trying very hard to overturn their classification as vermin, and their case is being heard in the High Court next Tuesday. It's thought they have a fair chance of success as the head squirrel is a mason. Thank you Henning.

At the end of that round Henning you've managed to smuggle two truths past the rest of the panel which are that the Canadian red squirrel makes its own artisan organic maple syrup. Mae'r gwirfoddol yn gwneud y ddwy gwirfoddol yn ystod y pannel, sy'n bodoli bod y gwirfoddol yn gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun,

sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n gwneud ei hun, sy'n dal i fod yn ystod y dynion Cymru o'r Cenedlaeth Cenedlaethol yn dod o hyd i ddysgu sut i ddynu trefnau mapl ar ôl edrych ar ysgwyrllau rhaid. Nid yw hynny'n ddiddorol? A'r gwirionedd ail yw, roedd Prins Charles wedi'i gynnig i leihau'r niferoedd ysgwyrll gan roi'r cyd-dynion yn Nutella.

Yn 2017, cyrraedd Prins Charles ymuno â chyd-dynion ysgwyrllion i drafod cynlluniau i ddynlwch gwirfoddol yn traps wedi'u llwyddo gyda Nutella, wedi cael ei ddod o'r cyfnod o ddiadwythio gwirfoddol yn y gofyn i leihau'r niferoedd gwirfoddol. Ydych chi wir yn angen y gair o'r cyfnod o'r diadwythio yn y cyfnod hwnnw? Yn siwr, mae'n ddau cyfnod o'r diadwythio o'r cyfnod o'r diadwythio yn y gair o'r diadwythio. Nid yw'n debyg eu bod wedi'u llni gondwm mewn natela. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy.

Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy.

Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy.

Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. Ydy. a llwyddo i'r holl ddynion seksuol. Felly, ie, rwy'n hoffi defnyddio'r gair hwnnw. Oherwydd, byddai'n debyg, byddai'n meddwl bod yn rhywbeth y byddai'n ei ddysgu yn hytrach na'i gwrando. Ac yn syth, rydym yn ôl i farn Alexander Armstrong. Ie. A dyna'r hyn, Henning, yw eich bod wedi ganu ddau pwynt. Mae Gwirl Girl yn gymeriad gwych sydd â thail mawr a'r bwysigrwydd APPLAUSE Squirrel Girl is a Marvel superhero who has a large tail and the superpower of being able to communicate with squirrels.

She was developed as part of Marvel's famous sod it that'll do initiative. Next up is Ria Lena. Ria, your subject is China or the People's Republic of China, a communist nation in East Asia that's the third largest and most populous country in the world. Off you go, Ria. There are so many people in China that a find-your-doppelganger business is fully booked until the year 2166. They have already successfully paired up

over 1,000 strangers that look close to identical to each other across the country. If you're wealthy, it's traditional to hire a body double to serve a prison sentence on your behalf, and this has become their most popular service. Henning. That is impossible to challenge, because essentially what Ria is saying,

they all look the same. Well. But that is with the lookalike for prison sentences. Mae'n dda, ond mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda.

Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. Mae hynny'n dda. or substitute criminals to stand in for them at trials and to serve out their prison sentences. And several high-ranking Chinese mafia members have had other members do time on their behalf. So, yes, that is a thing that happens. In China, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson

are known as Curly Foo and Peanut, Mickey Mouse is known as Yankee Doodle Rat, and Donald Duck is served with pancakes and plum sauce. British exports to China include the choreography of The Changing of the Guards, bottled countryside air and stiff upper lips. Holly. Countryside air.

Correct. Oh, yes. In 2016, British entrepreneur Leo de Watt started selling bottles of British countryside air to Chinese buyers at £80 or $115 per bottle. The air is collected using jars held in makeshift nets, a process Watts described as air farming.

The range includes air from Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Wales, Somerset and Dorset. Richard. Are Holmes and Watson curvyly-Foo and Peanut? They are. Oh! And that's... I'm afraid, though, that was too long ago.

No, no. You don't get the point. What? Ria. Did Alexander the Great smell really good? For over 100 years, rich tea biscuits were banned in China as the party thought that the biscuits were a representation of class privilege and elitism.

Also banned in China are James Bond films, Bon Jovi concerts and anything with Gerard Butler in it, including adverts. Harley. I definitely think something's true in that sentence. Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Thank you. I think it might be that biscuit thing, actually. Yeah?

I think that was quite a long time ago, mate. I think James Bond films would be banned in China. They're not, I'm afraid. Richard? Bon Jovi. Correct. Correct. In 2015, China banned Bon Jo Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Cynulliad Qing Dynasty China outlined a dozen ways to introduce a white radish, 48 different ways to fondle a mutilated foot, and hundreds of quite difficult sex positions that eventually

became the basis for modern-day Chinese acrobatics. Holly. Fondling a decapitated foot. Oh. Fondling a mutilated foot. Yeah. I mean, when you say it like that, it's much sexier.dysgu. Ie, wrth i mi ddweud hynny, mae'n llawer mwy o'r sexy. Mae hynny'n wir o bawb rwy'n ei ddweud.

Ar amserion am ddwy hanner o flynyddoedd, roedd llawer o dynion Cymru'n cael eu pwyntio a'u rhwystrau mewn cwstyn gris, a'i enwio fel ffotbinding. Roedd angenion manwiliadau'r dyniaeth Cymru'n arwain i ddynion sut i ffondleu pwyntiau rhwyafio mewn gwahanol ffyrdd. 48 ffyrdd yn un cynulliad. Roedd y Cymreig yn credu bod dynion sydd wedi'u ffondio wedi datblygu gwych o ran y llwythiau vaginal sydd wedi'u cymryd oherwydd y camau sy'n eu cymryd. Felly, gwneud integraith seksuol yn fwy hyfforddol i dynion. Ydych chi'n gwrando i Radio 4.

Peidiwch â'i ofyn. Mae'n ymddiriedol. Don't worry, it's the archers' suit. I'll tell you what, Radio 4 more likely. Thank you, Ria. And at the end of that round, Ria, you've managed to smuggle one truth past the rest of the panel, but I'm afraid it was the one that Richard buzzed too late on. So that means, Ria, you've scored one point. Rhaid i chi ddod i'r pennau arall y panel. Ond rwy'n meddwl mai'r un yw'r un y byddai Richard yn fwysio'n ddiweddar. Mae hynny'n golygu, Ria, y byddwch chi wedi cymryd un pwynt. Guoli Zhuang yw restaurant yng Nghymru

sy'n arbenigol o ddisiau sy'n cael eu gwneud o'r penusau a'r testiglau o ddwy dynion. Y restaurant perffaith os ydych chi'n y mannau ac yn ffansiol o fwys a ddwy ffeg. of different animals. The perfect restaurant if you're in the area and fancy a meat and two veg. It's now the turn of Richard Osman. Richard is our tallest ever panellist at 6ft 8. In fact, he's not only appearing on the panel tonight, but we're broadcasting the show from a dish on top of his head. Your subject, Richard, is glasses or spectacles, a device used to correct defective eyesight

which comprises two lenses set in a frame that rests on the nose and ears. Off you go, Richard. I once dated an optician. When I told her I couldn't see her any more, she moved slightly closer and said, How about now? Specsavers was founded by Anthony Speck and Imogen Savers.

And in their time, they have sponsored the Britpop group Blur, the Impressionist Room at Tate Modern, and Scottish football referees. Rear. So I'm going to go football? You're absolutely right. Yeah. They've sponsored Scottish Premiership football referees

for over 20 years. Henning. I'm playing this game too passively now. I've got four points and what really annoys me, I didn't buzz in even though I knew that fact that they sponsored a Scottish ref. So that's unforgivable, really. I could be on five points anyway, but...

And now you're on three. Unforgivable really, I could be on five points anyway, but... And now you're on three. Are you guessing anything or are you just...? No, no, I'm just giving myself a bit of a pep talk. OK. Richard. Dolland and Aitchison was founded by two brothers, both called John, but with different surnames to tell them apart. John Dolland went on to invent glasses for horses,

contact lenses for dogs, night-vision binoculars for sailors and a telescope so powerful it could see next week's lottery numbers. Ria. OK, well, I'm going to go with glasses for horses because night-vision can be used by anybody, right? I mean, what if you're like a stalker, you can't use John Dolan's things? You have to be a sailor on the sea? Well, maybe they were designed for sailors,

but then the market expanded to... Oh, I see, like radar, and then we... But, you know, I don't want to push you one way or the other. All right, well, the night vision stuff that then got used by everybody as they realised its universality. That's not true. No.

Holly. Glasses for horses. Correct. You're welcome. Holly. Gwlaws am chafau. Yn gywir. Gwlaws am chafau. Yn gywir. Yn 1893, ydw i, John Dolland, yn ffeindio cwbl o sbectaclion equine bifogol. Roedd y llenni'n ei wneud i'w ddweud wrth y chaf, fel os oedd y rôd ymlaen yn aros yn y llwybr,

a'i achosi i'r chafau dynnu llwybrau. Ac fel y dywedodd, fe ddodd Dolland sbectaclion chafau'n fwy cyffredin gyda chyffurwyr chafau a gweithwyr cabau hyfryd, gan fod llwybrau uchel yn ymwneud â chafau mwy. slope which caused the horse to take higher steps and as a result, Dolan's horse spectacles became popular with horse trainers and handsome cab owners as a high step was considered to be more aesthetically pleasing. We now know that about a third of domestic horses suffer from myopia or short-sightedness. Shakespeare bought his glasses from a branch of Dolan & Aitchison on Stratford High Street,

having first accidentally walked into a Robert Dyess and a Hotel Chocolat. Most of the important developments in spectacle technology were developed by the cousins of famous people. Bifocals were invented by Napoleon's cousin Pierre. Charles Darwin's cousin Francis invented submersible glasses so he could read the newspaper underwater in the bath. And reactolite technology was developed by the cousin of the woman who invented frazzles. The London Underground lost property office has 200,000 pairs of glasses in its possession, just 50,000 fewer than Elton John. Henning.

I wonder how long the TfL has to keep lost property. Because then from that we could work out if it's realistic they've got 100,000. Yeah. But I don't think, say they have to keep them a year, that would be 300 a day. That's unlikely. Because when do you get on the underground and then, oh, look, there's another pair of lost glass.

Oh, there's another one. Doesn't really happen. No, I think he's lying on that one. So, in summary, none of that ever happened? I can't see it. Yeah. Richard. But what is the future of glasses?

No-one has a clear picture, which is great news for the industry. New York researchers have developed sunglasses to tell if someone's lying to you, by saying, for example, those suspiciously bulky sunglasses really make you look like David Beckham. Ria. Yes, lying sunglasses, or lie-detecting sunglasses. You're absolutely right, yes.

Great. In 2004, New York-based tech company V Entertainment released a pair of lie detector sunglasses. The glasses contain a signal processing engine developed in Israel that it says is able to analyse incoming voice waveforms and predict whether the speaker is lying or not. Can I get a pair for my next round?

It's interesting that these lie detector sunglasses came out in 2004. My sense is that if they worked, we'd have heard about them. Thank you, Richard. And at the end of that round, Richard, you've managed to smuggle two truths past the rest of the panel, which are that Charles Darwin's cousin Francis i ddysgu ddwy gwirionedd yn ystod yr olaf o'r panel, sy'n bodoli bod Cynulleidfa'r Cynulliad Cymru'n yn ymgyrchu gwyliau sy'n ysgwyl i'w ddarllen yn y bwrdd yn y bwrdd. Cynulleidfa'r Cynulliad Cymru'n ysgwyl i'w ddarllen yn y bwrdd yn y bwrdd.

Roedd yn ymwybodol, gyda'r sbectacledd hyn, gallwn ddarllen y llyfr cyffredin yn y bwrdd yn y bwrdd. Roeddwn i'n ysgwyl yn aml iawn gyda'r sbectaclau hyn, roedd modd i mi ddarllen y llyfr o ddysg yn perffaith yn y dŵr. Roeddwn i'n ddiddordeb yn fawr gyda'r newydd hobby ac yn bod yn mwy mwysig yn y ddarllen, roeddwn i'n cofio bod i'n gydag ysgafn. A'r gwirionedd ail yw... Rwy'n gwybod, rwy'n gwybod yn unig beth sy'n dod yma nawr. Y gwirionedd ail yw, that while the London Underground does not have 200,000 pairs of glasses It gets about 760 pairs handed in every month and only keeps lost property for three months

Oh only has about just over 2,000 at any one time Elton John Has 50,000 more than the 200,000 that,000 y mae Richard wedi'i ddweud yn anghywir fel London Underground yn eu bod yn eu gweithleuon adeiladu, ynglyn â 250,000 o glasau, yn ymwneud â'i fod yn ei ddweud. Which brings us to the final scores. In fourth place, with minus one point, it's Rialina. In joint second place, with no points each, it's Holly Walsh and Richard Osman. And in first place, with an unassailable four points, it's this week's winner, Henning Vein.

That's about it for this week. Goodbye. The Unbelievable Truth was devised by John Naismith and Graham Garden and featured David Mitchell in the chair, with panellists Ollie Walsh, Richard Osman, Ria Lena and Henning Vein. The chairman's script was written by Dan Gaster and Colin Swash and the producer was John Nesmith. It was a random production for BBC Radio 4.
