Final Talk About English
This is the last ever Talk About English to go up on our website so we decided to hand over the programme to you by giving it up to your questions. We invited you to send in questions about absolutely anything...the result: a strange and eclectic programme with all sorts of exciting revelations! Thank you!

Extras
We didn't have time to include this in the programme, but Alireza in Iran asked: why are clocks divided in 12 sections and when was the clock invented? Tim Maynard of the London Science Museum answered. Clocks (678 K)

Another interview we hoped to include, but couldn't, was an interview with Cohay from Japan. He had a question about weddings. Cohay (1.9 MB)

And, as promised, here is the uncensored version of our chat to Lina Maria in Colombia! Lina Maria (1.2 MB)
