Gyles Brandreth hosts this comedy game about words, in which linguistic brainboxes such as Stephen Fry, Milton Jones and Lloyd Langford vie for supremacy.

There are toponyms, abbreviations, euphemisms, old words, new words, cockney rhyming slang, Greek gobbledegook, plus the panellists' picks of the ugliest and the most beautiful words. It's the whole world of words in 28 minutes.

Find out the meaning of words like giff-gaff, knock-knobbler and buckfitches; the difference between French marbles, French velvet and the French ache and hear the glorious poetry of the English language, as practiced by writers ranging from William Shakespeare to Vanilla Ice.

Natalie Haynes is a regular on all the episodes. Other panellists taking part include Jenny Eclair, Richard Herring and Alex Horne.
