Episode 3 of 6
Ed Byrne, Milton Jones, Hannah Gadsby and Natalie Haynes join Gyles Brandreth in a word-obsessed comedy panel game. From 2014.
Comedian Ed Byrne, Tasmanian stand up and art expert Hannah Gadsby, punmaster general Milton Jones and classics boffin Natalie Haynes vie for wordy supremacy under the watchful eye of chair Gyles Brandreth.
Letter of the week is 'N' and there's a round about derogatory terms.
Panellists also attempt to ban their least favourite words including 'simples'.
Writers: Jon Hunter and James Kettle.
Producer: Claire Jones.
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in September 2014.
