Melvyn Bragg continues his exploration of the history of the spoken language of Britain.

Incessantly changing, shifting styles and phraseology, restless as a waterway, the English language has often been compared to an onrushing river. Yet for at least 350 years people have been trying to pin the language down, catalogue its components and fix its grammar and pronunciation. Bragg follows the trail of the language fixers and their opponents, from the 16th century to today.
