Lloyd Langford, Susie Dent, Dave Gorman and Natalie Haynes vie for wordy supremacy chaired by Gyles Brandreth. From 2013.

Gyles Brandreth chairs the word-obsessed comedy panel show.

Ready to vie for wordy supremacy in the ring:

Lloyd Langford
Susie Dent
Dave Gorman
Natalie Haynes

Dave Gorman guesses the meaning of the phrase 'living on Queen Street' from the late 1800s.

Natalie Haynes unravels the word 'autodysomophobia'.

Lloyd Langford guesses the meaning of the Yiddish word 'farpotshket'.

Susie Dent shares her love of the current Liverpool word 'twirlies' and explains the meaning of the word 'quockerwodger'.

Both teams also have a go at coming up with modern phrases to replace the old cliches 'When life give you lemons, make lemonade' and 'Beauty is only skin deep'.

Written by Jon Hunter and James Kettle.

Producer: Claire Jones

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in April 2013.
