3. Outrageous Behaviour

Available for over a year

In this episode we hear Marcus Brigstocke’s word for packaging gone mad, Bella Hull's description for the outrageous behaviour of a very beautiful woman, and Pierre Novellie’s coinage for when something makes you so angry you revert all the way back to calm. Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words. Hosts: Phil Wang and Susie Dent Guests: Marcus Brigstocke, Bella Hull and Pierre Novellie Created by Joe Varley Writers: Matt Crosby and Katie Storey Recorded by Jerry Peal Producer: Jon Harvey Executive Producers: Joe Varley and Akash Lockmun A Brown Bred production for BBC Radio 4
