Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words to help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With special guests Jack Dee, Miles Jupp and Ria Lina.

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.
