Balderdash & Piffle BBC2 starting Monday 2nd January (fwd)

[Fred Shapiro]

Kim Lomax of Takeaway Media has asked me to post the following to this
list:

"Please find to follow full details of the series, and keep an eye on the
BBC and OED websites to see which antedatings have been accepted by the
OED.  As each episode goes out they are posting links to revised extracts
- ploughman's lunch and pass the parcel are up there now at
www.oed.com/bbcwords .  Would you mind posting something on the ADS list
to let people know about this?

Thanks again for all your help with the series so far, and best wishes for
2006."
