Miriam Margolyes loves Charles Dickens. Do you know what else she loves? Swearing. So we’ve paired her up with the wisest word woman we know, Countdown’s very own Susie Dent!
Together they get to say all the bad words they usually can’t say on telly. They also talk about why the c word is now taboo when it didn’t used to be, where the f word comes from and find some smashing swear words of the Dickensian era that are long forgotten. Let’s get swearing shall we?

I always heard that F.U.C.K. was short for:
For
Unlawful
Carnal
Knowledge
and that it was shortend because the Pilgrims got tired of writing the whole thing down when people got busted for it.
This is a fuck-ton of fun. I could listen to Miriam and Susie swear and curse all day.
Glorious! Thank you, ladies, I am crying with laughter! Compliments of the Season to you both! XXX
Pigs!
The things I'd do to Susie Dent.
Miriam is awesome. I’m surprised the pc brigade haven’t cancelled her 🤣
Needed this today.
This is brilliant I have snorted like a Guttersnipe LobCock😂😂
Wait. Is Susie Dent wearing jodhpurs?
Miriam is delightful.
War of the Buttons was the first time I heard tosspot
2 of my favourite humans that I could listen to all day! Miriam is absolute gold and Suzie is a serious girl crush. Fit. Love them both! That with added swear words is a seriously good day! 🙂
Fantastic stuff!!!
How are those Palestinians Miriam?
Goldman Sachs is proud of you miriam.
I could listen to these two discuss words all day! More please!
Thank the gods for this!!!!…..

(that was my heart, of course)
(ahem)
I've been called:"A big , woman's toilet part",many a time!
"Wanken" in German: to waver, stagger, sway, falter or wobble.
Wow I love Miriam. What a gal 🤗
Miriam!
I love Miriam especially when she’s swearing lol x
In some ways there's no such thing as 'bad language', if it signifies and means something, it works; but I hate casual swearing, where people pepper their sentences with swear words. Use swear words meaningfully, intentionally, liberally, but never lazily.
Dear @Channel4 may I please ask you to stop putting unnecessary background music on your clips when it's just two people talking? As someone with autism I can't watch this video because in my brain the music overpowers what Miriam and Susie are saying. It just makes it really really hard (impossible) for me to follow the conversation. Your sincerely huge fan.
Hilarious!!! I love Miriam and Susie!! Hurry up with part 2 you 2 and Channel 4!! P L E A S E!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Oooh.. ‘arse hole’ and ‘arse’ are my faves; but I despise the use of the donkey relative, the humble ass, to convey the crudity of the bum end. (But I also now like cnut-face; such an improvement on cnut, and so much more visual than dick-head; thanks dear Miriam.).
I love Suzie and Miriam! And even better together!
C#$tface is one of my favorites. Head like a twisted gumboot is another.
fucking brilliant!
Loved this so much!
What a cute comedy duo! are they going on tour?
Fantastic LOL!
This made my Christmas – love it! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a load of bollocks. Loved it
I never knew I needed this collaboration in my life. Such a great premise.
I’m using Arse Ropes all the time now 😂
I'm going to start yelling "lalochezia" when I'm stressed
Lombard Street is at the epicentre of the City of London. What is a Lombard? Loads Of Money But A Real Dick…
The German for wank is wichsen. ‚Wanken‘ in German means to waver or delay over a decision. There is a Mount Wank in Bavaria (chortle). The German for fuck is ficken, very similar.
Oh bless both of them! What a wonderful and erudite video!
Bloody brilliant.
I think I remember Brian Blessed saying that when he was chatting to Her Majesty The Queen, she mentioned that the word ''fuck'' was an Anglo-Saxon word.
Any chance of a series or two) ?
Some of those slightly confused looks on Miriam's face reminded me of my dear old Mum, it bought back some lovely memories, brilliant.
To anyone who knows anything about women knows they are far, far, far, more highly sexed than men. And generally more “dirty” minded. And they masturbate far more often too.
Hilarious and interesting. Miriam needs to get in shape she has been looking rather ill lately. I know she is getting in but..We don’t wish to lose her as she is a talent we all rather need to get through this world.
This should be at least an hour show on 4, or in parts, Miriam is a National Treasure, and with Susie, it just tops it off..
These two, together, are insanely brilliant. Imagine trying to have an intelligent conversation about swearing 🤣🤣🤣
Why this came up in my recommends… no idea, but I’m thoroughly impressed! 😂🎉
