I went to a recording of The Unbelievable Truth yesterday! The panellists were Henning Wehn, Lou Sanders, Zoe Lyons and Lloyd Langford; the host, as ever, was David Mitchell. The aim in The Unbelievable Truth, if anyone's unfamiliar with the rules, is to spot the ridiculous truths concealed in a lecture composed almost entirely of nonsense.

The producer, Jon Naismith, told a different joke! I didn't quite know what to do with myself. I've attended at least seven recordings of The Unbelievable Truth over the last eight years, and he's told the same three jokes to warm the audience up every single time.

Here are some things I remember!

I'm going to put some terrible jokes from Langford's lecture on ants outside the cut, because I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Langford: They say there are two million ants for every person on Earth, but I haven't got mine yet.

Langford: A person who studies ants is known as a loser.

Langford: 'Antelope' is what young ants do when their parents disapprove of their relationship.
