Strange but true

Driving to the slate mines today, G said, "You remember that walk we did a while ago, Torrent Walk? Well just nearby there's an old iron furnace that was run by Quakers that is now a dormouse sanctuary." Then he paused before saying, "That sounds like something out of that Radio 4 panel show, what's it called?"

"The Unbelievable Truth," I said.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the panel show in question, the panel each write a short essay on a topic that must be entirely false apart from five true statements that they try to smuggle past the other panel members. If someone spots a truth, they buzz and if they're correct, they get a point. If they're wrong, they lose a point.
