4. Heads, mouths and stomachs

Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words to help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Catherine Bohart, Ed Gamble and Fatiha El-Ghorri.

Catherine Bohart offers a term for an intriguing state of detachment, Ed Gamble goes where few foodies dare to tread, and Fatiha El-Ghorri captures a way in which children are inspired by their elders.

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.
