Episode 6
Ed Byrne, Hannah Gadsby, Milton Jones and Natalie Haynes join Gyles Brandreth in a word-obsessed comedy panel game. From 2014.
Gyles Brandreth hosts the competitive comedy game where panellists vie for wordy supremacy
With:
* Comedian, Ed Byrne
* Stand up and art expert, Hannah Gadsby
* Punmaster general, Milton Jones
* Classics boffin, Natalie Haynes
The letter of the week is 'Z'.
The panellists must coin their own topynyms and they also have to guess which foreign words are edible.
There's a chance to add their own new word to the dictionary, before they delve into 'A Dictionary of Americanisms' from 1848.
Writers: Jon Hunter and James Kettle.
Producer: Claire Jones.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2014.
