Wordaholics: The Complete Series 1-3: The word-obsessed BBC comedy panel show Audiobook (Free)

All 18 shows of Radio 4’s word-obsessed comedy panel game hosted by Gyles Brandreth, where stars from around the world of wordplay get together to figure the meanings of now-obsolete terms, invent their personal clichés and cockney rhyming slang, discuss their very own favourite content – and suggest words they would like to ban.

This witty and unexpected show brings you toponyms, abbreviations, euphemisms, old words, new words, cockney rhyming slang and Greek gobbledegook. Discover out the meaning of words like giff-gaff, knock-knobbler and buckfitches; the difference between French marbles, French velvet and the French ache; hear the glorious poetry of the British language, as employed from writers differing from William Shakespeare to Vanilla Glaciers; and spend some time laughing and learning with some of the finest Wordaholics available.

With top guests including Stephen Fry, Jack Whitehall, Michael Rosen, Susie Dent, Alex Horne, Paul Sinha, Robin Ince, Josh Widdecombe, Natalie Haynes, Dave Gorman, Richard Herring, Ed Byrne, Jenny Eclair and Milton Jones.

Written by Jon Hunter and James Kettle.
