description: A fifth series from BBC Radio 4 in which Stephen Fry examines with the help of experts the highways and byways of the English language. In these four episodes he tells The Story of X: a letter holy and profane sexy and chaste; discusses intonation the song of English and how cadence affects meaning; muses on the art and craft of conversation - and whether true conversation can happen on TV and radio - and ponders the meaning of meaning and the gap between brain and mouth that means language can never truly represent thought. In addition he tells us why blue as a colour is a newish invention.
