A Language Without Words

BBC Radio 4 - Word of Mouth, A Language Without Words

Michael Rosen asks Julian Barratt and Steve Oram about creating a language without words.

Michael Rosen and Laura Wright ask Mighty Boosh's Julian Barratt and director Steve Oram about inventing a film language without words. How do you communicate using only noises?

Michael Rosen & Laura Wright ask Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh and director Steve Oram about inventing a language for their new film, which has no dialogue but instead uses a kind of ape language.. How do you communicate without words, and how have other films and TV programmes tackled the challenge? And what does this tell us about how language works?
Producer Beth O'Dea.
