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?
