Lost in Translation

Tom Allen hosts a new panel game show about languages from around the world. Joining him are James May, Russell Kane, Steph McGovern, Daliso Chaponda, Sophie Duker and Rhys James.

This is a brand-new comedy panel show in which host Tom Allen (The Apprentice – You’re Fired) and his celebrity guests James May (Top Gear), Stacey Solomon (Loose Women), Daliso Chaponda (QI), Russell Kane (Live at the Apollo) Sophie Duker (Mock the Week) and Rhys James (Mock the Week) will dissect and analyse language, foreign cultures and everything in between that gets misunderstood, with sometimes hilarious consequences.

With insights from linguistics expert Dr Laura Bailey, the show will demonstrate how language can not only bring us together, but also create national outcry; and that though some words may be a term of endearment in some cultures, they can be a damning insult in others. From untranslatable words to seemingly nonsensical idioms to some of the greatest insults ever created, this show will peel back the layers to reveal the secret quirks of communication.
