Episode 5
Milton Jones, Natalie Haynes, Lloyd Langford and Robin Ince vie for verbal supremacy. Chaired by Gyles Brandreth. From May 2013.
Gyles Brandreth chairs the word-obsessed comedy panel show.
Competing for wordy supremacy:
Milton Jones
Robin Ince
Natalie Haynes
Lloyd Langford
The Letter of the Week is 'W'. Lloyd Langford hazards a guess as to what 'Welsh cricket' is while Natalie Haynes has to work out what 'Whistling breeches' are.
In a round about Australian slang Robin Ince tries to guess the meaning of 'guttergripper' while Milton Jones takes a stab at 'shypoo'.
All the panellists come up with some brilliant new toponyms and also reveal their pet-hate words.
Written by Jon Hunter and James Kettle.
Producer: Claire Jones
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in May 2013.
