Stephen Fry explores language, coming to understand how we learn it, write it and sometimes lose it, and why it defines us.

What is it that defines us? Stephen argues that above all, it is the way we speak. Be it a national language, a regional dialect or even class variation - we interpret and define ourselves through our language.
