AWAY WITH WORDS, presenter Neil Innes falls foul of the Roundheads (while dressed as a Cavalier), gets nosy about Cromwell, tries to get ahead with a wig, and discovers a taste for eel pie, as he sets about probing the history which lies hidden in everyday words and phrases. The second programme in the series plunges him into the midst of Civil War hostilities, where he swiftly discovers the origins of phrases like "keep your powder dry" and "a flash in the pan".
