Mark Watson needs your passion stories

Mark Watson introduces the theme of the fourth episode.

Featuring: Tom Basden, Tim Key & Mark Watson.

Mark Watson's Passion Thriller

Mark asked the audience whether he should finish the show with a passion "thriller" (singing Nessun Dorma) or a passion "killer" (reading the Shipping Forecast with ice being put down his pants). He got a bit of both.

Featuring: Tom Basden, Tim Key & Mark Watson.
