What The Factual? is presented by Gill Smith & Pete Moor.

Gill and Pete delve into funly misremembered stories from history and find the facts among the fictions.

In the first episode of What The Factual? We deal with The World War One Christmas Truce and how or if it really happened. Also we discuss the track Altogether Now by The Farm and the fact that Gill didn't know it was about today's topic.

Finally where does the phrase "to tip" someone come from?
