Next on BBC2

[words]

From the Oxford English Dictionary homepage:

The BBC's new six-part TV series, Balderdash and Piffle, is being broadcast in the UK weekly on BBC2 from Monday 2 January to Monday 6 February 2006. The series looks at our fascination with words and the stories behind them, and was made in collaboration with the Oxford English Dictionary.

Each week's programme is based on words beginning with one letter of the alphabet. Guest presenters explore evidence gathered by the public after the OED and the BBC appealed for their help in tracking down the origins of 50 words—the OED-BBC Wordhunt.

Too late now, think BBC America will show this?
