Place reservation for Prose & cons : the English language in Just a minuteAs fans of 'Just a Minute' know, the key to the game is knowing your way around the English language: how it works, how it's evolved, and how words connect, often in surprising ways. When it comes to the English language (and 'Just a Minute'), Gyles Brandreth has seen it all - and now he's ready to put you through your linguistic paces. In this A to Z of verbal acrobatics, Gyles takes you on a whirlwind tour of our mother tongue - from the origins of words and correct grammar and punctuation, to similes, euphemisms and record breaking tongue twisters (try getting your mouth around floccinaucinihilipification!), all in 60-second instalments.
