Ways with Words - 1x10 - Episode 10- Followmy.tv

Smuggling, seafaring and superstition are all on the agenda when AWAY WITH WORDS presenter Neil Innes finds himself trawling for the origins of more everyday phrases - and lands in deep trouble with the law. Exploring the language of customs and excise along a Suffolk, coastline which is no stranger to smuggling activities, Neil soon finds the long arm of the law reaching out to nab him. Then it is off to the dungeons with him ... in Norwich Castle. There is a garden encounter with Norwich witch, Naomi, before Neil heads back over the county border for a good night's sleepwalking in Woodbridge! Quitting his bedroom at the Suffolk town's Bull Hotel, a pyjama clad Neil is soon breaking all the rules to illustrate some everyday superstitions. Finally, Away with Words sets sail on board the Excelsior, a traditional Lowestoft trawler, built in 1921, where Neil is soon busy learning the ropes, and discovering why sailors were required to "show a leg".
