The Good, The Bad And The Unexpected

Series 15, Episode 2

In this show Mark Nelson is joined by two Scottish legends and a cracker of a comedian from the South. First, Gail Porter tells her stories about being mistaken for an Irish singing legend and getting away with more than she bargained for on a flight home. Newshound Martin Geissler proves that he belongs in current affairs, rather than sport, and tells Mark about the time he saved a couple's lives from the newsroom. Completing the line-up is avid football fan and stand-up comedian, Chloe Petts, who celebrates the anniversary of coming out to her parents, and celebrates too early before an exam.
