One Sandwich Short of a Picnic.
Victoria Coren presents this series about words, inviting the public to
make a vital contribution to the Oxford English Dictionary. This programme
looks at the many words we use for madness. Former psychiatric nurse Jo
Brand returns to her old hospital, St Mary's Bethlem (Bedlam), to
demonstrate how today's worst insults - moron, idiot, imbecile and cretin -
were once official medical diagnoses. But who, for example, first went
'bananas' and why?

Long time no see, Dave.  Thanks for the tip; I almost never turn my TV on, 
so I'd have missed it.

Is this where I can gloat about being able to watch the Beeb without paying 
a licence fee?
