From the far-fetched to the perfectly plausible, two teams try and hoodwink each other with hilarious tall and twisted tales – and it’s up to viewers to separate the truth from the fiction.
Each week a stellar line-up of celebrity and comedic guests will reveal amazing and bizarre stories about themselves. Some stories, believe it or not, are true.
Other stories, amazingly, are made up. The aim of the game is to fool the opposing team into mistaking fact for fiction and fiction for fact.
