5. Gingers for Justice

Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words to help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Roisin Conaty, Alasdair Beckett-King and Slim.

Roisin Conaty introduces a term for hiding moments of irrational irritation, Alasdair Beckett-King presents a word that challenges 'playful' teasing, and Slim offers a new term aimed at uplifting older individuals in a society that often overlooks them.

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.
