1. Skedaddling Squirrels

Episode 1 of 6

Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words and help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Olga Koch, Aurie Styla and Tim Vine.

In this episode we hear Tim Vine's word for suspicious squirrels, Olga Koch with an improvement on 'Googling oneself', and Aurie Styla's word for leaving a party early.

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.
