Episode 5 of 6

Lloyd Langford, Holly Walsh, Paul Sinha and Natalie Haynes in Gyles Brandreth's word-obsessed comedy panel game. From 2014.

Gyles Brandreth hosts the competitive comedy game where panellists vie for wordy supremacy

With:

* Comedian, Lloyd Langford
* Comedian, Holly Walsh
* Comedian, Paul Sinha
* Novelist and classicist Natalie Haynes

Gyles Brandreth is in the chair.

The letter of the week is the sinuous letter 'S'.

The panellists play a round about portmanteau words – and get to guess the meaning of some foreign words which have no direct equivalent in English.

And they also try to ban the words which drive them most mad.

Written by: Jon Hunter and James Kettle.

Producer: Claire Jones.

First broadcast on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4 in October 2014.
