Run baby run & other tales
Hold on to your lederhosen because this week's episode is packed with outrageous confessions that will leave you laughing, cringing and questioning humanity just a little bit. This week Father Simon and the collective tackle the sins of Frits, whose festive prank saw his mate don Bavarian lederhosen and fake a German accent at a Christmas light switch on, only to be hailed as a 'star guest' by the local paper and end up alongside the mayor for the big moment. Tamzin who mistook a stranger for her husband and got far too familiar with him - which didn't go down well with the strangers wife. Sabrina is also asking for forgiveness for her late night cravings which led to a Christmas Eve kitchen meltdown (literally) that her brother took the blame for. Tufty caused a ruckus with lots of fake stag do stories, which caused the groom to run scared, cross the road only looking the wrong way - which ended in a leg in plaster for the wedding. In the Not for Broadcast corner there is a lot of disapproving tuts at simply illegal activities. The gang also debate the logistics of rocket launches, Lego vicars and Matt bringing a script to life. It's funny, it's festive and it's full of hot little hamsters. Tune in for redemption and ridiculousness in equal measures.
