Episode 12 - S1.E12 - Away With Words

AWAY WITH WORDS gets into dictionaries, codes and computers as presenter Neil Innes boldly goes into cyberspace in pursuit of the development of the English language. The fun series, which probes the unlikely origins of everyday words and phrases pays a call to the Cyber Café in Milton Keynes to see where words fit in to the web-wide world of modern technology. Neil also visits Bletchley Park where top-secret wartime code-breakers struggled to crack the German Enigma machine, and sees why the world's first electronic valve computer was named Colossus. Before the programme is over, he gets to drive a tank, and a very smart car.
