Proper English S2 E12: Discourse Markers
Episode description
Well, this week it appears we're all about the little additions, the fillers, the conversational tags, known formally as discourse markers! And this week sees the welcome return of Davidson and Roberts - and with the help of girlfriend Roxy they unravel the mystery of this week's idiom: 'To put the wind up somebody.'
