Fry's English Delight: Series 1, part 2 - HMS Metaphor

Stephen Fry hosts this programme on the joys of the English language - as heard on BBC Radio 4.

The English language is chock-full of maritime metaphors: cock up, taken aback, chip on your shoulder and show a leg. And, with the help of a Greek removals firm, we also find the origin of the word 'metaphor'.
