Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, it's the Christmas special, 2023!

Episode 28: Did a magical platypus save some 19th century Christmas castaways?
Who wants a Christmas present? Well, instead you’ve got this. Just in case you thought 2020 couldn’t get any worse, we’re back with this year’s Yes or BS Christmas special!
As always, the rules are simple: six facts, each as unbelievable as the other, only some of which are true. Can you sort the Yes from the BS?
This time around, we’ve got Icelandic troll children, festive spouse-conjuring baking, Ben Jonson’s tale of Captain Gregory Christmas, and, of course, a magical 3ft platypus who saved the crew of some hapless shipwrecked Australian whalers. What is true? What is untrue? What is genuine? What is nonsense? And does anyone really care?
Happy Christmas everybody! And we’ll see you again in 2021...

Episode 27: Did a 19th century presidential candidate circumnavigate the globe three times?
Will Ant recover from his 6-0 defeat at the start of the series? (Unlikely.) Will Paul have a fact about a Victorian eccentric? (Very likely.) And will Ant really manage to go an entire season without a Roman history fact? (Impossible.) It’s time for the Season 4 finale of Yes or BS!
Brace yourself for six more rounds of true-or-false trivia, from an Ancient Greek naval mishap to a globe-trotting presidential candidate, and from an anonymous helmet-wearing bigamist fraudster who turned down the king’s autograph to a treasonous Ottoman vizier who successfully managed to commute his own death sentence by running a race against the sultan’s gardener. Which might just be the strangest sentence we’ve ever written.
Enjoy – and we’ll see you all again for Season 5 very soon!
