Film Description

In his new five-part BBC series, Planet Word, Stephen Fry explores linguistic achievements and how our skills for the spoken word have developed. Fry dissects language in all its guises with his inimitable mixture of learning, love of lexicon and humour. He analyses how we use and abuse language and asks whether we are near to beginning to understand the complexities of its DNA. Tracing language from the time when man first mastered speech to the modern cyberworld, Planet Word takes viewers on a journey across the globe to discover just how far humans have come when it comes to the written and spoken word.
