On the afternoon of October 15th 2009, ‘Breaking news’ flashed across the screens of many Colorado news stations to report an occurrence that a giant homemade helium-fuelled flying saucer was on the loose, drifting through the sky for near 70 miles. But a frantic phone call from the aircraft’s creator would tell a terrifying story - his six-year-old son was trapped inside. Join comedian Sunil Patel and me as we chat about our favourite reality tv-related cases of deception and our love for the ever-entertaining format.

John Fritz Johnson was seen by many as a larger than life character - sporting a pencil-thin moustache, an eye patch and a thick Chicago accent. Notable past-times include throwing wild champagne parties and driving through town in his hearse. But to the utter shock of his wife, friends and much of the American midwest in the 1960s, these eclectic quirks wouldn’t have anything on the true tale of the 30-something man. No, the truth of his life would be much stranger - whichever theory you choose to believe. 

Chartering private jets, rubbing shoulders with New York’s elite and sipping Dom Pérignon like it was water, were common pastimes of a Manhattan-based German national that went by Anna Delvey. After years of calling some of the city’s swankiest hotels home, the facade of riches and power would quickly crumble. Is this an inspiring tale of simply playing the game - faking it until you make it? Or was this 20-something woman a calculated scam artist who would do whatever she could to trick half of New York into opening their wallets?

Joined by Argentinian comedian Victoria Olsina, this week we delve into a scandal of epic proportions. What may have appeared as simple, spiral-bound notebooks would quickly become the key to uncovering criminal endeavours that would shake the South American nation to its core. Plus, learn why it’s important to know the difference between a ferret and a poodle when shopping from the stalls at Buenos Aires’ La Salada market.

In 2001, Charles Ingram made television history by winning the million-pound prize on the stage of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. But after reviewing the tapes, the producers picked up something that would land Ingram, his wife and a Welsh college professor in a court case unlike any other. Plus, our Wales correspondent Clovis Phillips shares a personal tale about his conman maths teacher and two Abertillery residents with too much time on their hands.
