Mermaid Simon Cowell

Sean Lock creates Simon Cowell and Oprah Winfrey sand sculptures, and Roisin Conaty finds a new way to motivate herself.

Featuring: Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock & Roisin Conaty.

Press

Jimmy Carr hosts another helping of humorous word wrestling, with regular team captains Jon Richardson and Sean Lock joined by David Mitchell and Katherine Ryan. Rachel Riley remains on number and letter duty, while Susie Dent shuffles along her Dictionary Corner bench to make room for guest dictionary delvers and YouTube popmakers the Brett Domino Trio. And, believe it or not, that name is not an anagram.
