Who Were They?
Victoria Coren, Adam Hart-Davis, Marcel Theroux and Simon Hoggart head off on the trail of the real people whose names have been immortalised in the English language.
Victoria Coren presents this series about words, inviting the public to make a vital contribution to the Oxford English Dictionary. Who was Gordon Bennett and what did he do to inspire such exasperation? That is just one of the word mysteries baffling the OED, as the programme heads off on the trail of the real people whose names have been immortalised in the English language. With contributions from Adam Hart-Davis, Marcel Theroux and Simon Hoggart.
