What would you do if you were in the woods when you came across a cello full of bees? Well, if you’re the cellist Dr Kate Kennedy you play it of course. Meanwhile, In Touch's Peter White climbs into the ring to learn about the world of pro-wrestling in Norwich. We’ll also hear about the simple hand gesture that’s led to threats against women in South Korea, as well as dissect the sociolinguistics of the ‘Grundy’ accent. Plus, you may be able to dance, or jive and perhaps you're having the time of your life, but do you know your English grammar? Josephine McDermott discovers a history of the BBC teaching English around the world that was under our noses the whole time, with the assistance of ABBA. Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Anthony McKee Production Coordinator: Jack Ferrie
