Countdown star Susie Dent to appear at Monmouth theatre
She will unravel the mysteries of the English language, including why owls form a parliament and which orange came first, the fruit or the colour.
This follows her successful 74-date tour, The Secret Life Of Words, which ran from 2018 to 2024.
Speaking about her new tour, Ms Dent said: "The English language will never stop surprising and delighting me: it is as wayward as it is majestic, while the dictionary is as full of magic, drama, and adventure as you will find anywhere.
"I can't wait to walk down some more of its secret alleyways with the Word Perfect audiences, and to hear their own questions about our curious mother tongue."
Ms Dent has spent more than three decades in Dictionary Corner on Countdown and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
She was appointed an MBE in 2024, the same year her debut novel, Guilty by Definition, was published.
She will have two new books, Words For Life, and The Roots We Share: 100 Words That Bring Us Together, released this autumn.

A-level student fulfils promise to dying mother by securing place at Oxford
Gabrielle Morgan, 18, said she 'could practically hear (her mother) celebrating' with her when her offer came through to study modern languages at the University of Oxford. Gabrielle, from Newcastle, secured her place after achieving straight A* grades in English literature, Spanish and chemistry, along with an A* in an extended project qualification (EPQ), and will go on to study Spanish and beginners' Portuguese. Sisters Francesca Morgan (left), Gabrielle Morgan (right) and their mother Faustina (Darren Irwin Photography/PA) It comes a year after her sister Francesca achieved straight A* grades and secured a place at Cambridge to study natural sciences. The sisters were both home-schooled by their mother, Faustina, before joining Dame Allan's Schools. Ms Morgan, who moved from Malaysia to the UK in her early 20s, died from lung cancer in April last year. Gabrielle said: 'My mum was incredible, strong, organised, inspiring and a person of great faith. 'She supported every interest we had, helped us through our GCSEs and pushed us to work hard. 'She made me promise to keep working hard on my Oxford application no matter what happened. 'I could practically hear her celebrating with me when the offer came through. 'I know just how proud of me she is and I know she helped a lot, even though she wasn't here physically.' Gabrielle's promise to Ms Morgan carried her through an emotionally turbulent year – including a school trip to Valencia, during which she boarded a high-speed train to Madrid with director of sixth form Karen Fletcher to sit her Oxford admissions test. Gabrielle Morgan receives her A-level results at Dame Allan's Schools (Owen Humphreys/PA) Gabrielle, who is bilingual in English and Mandarin, said she has been passionate about languages and storytelling from a young age, and dreams of becoming an author. 'The literary world has always been central to my life,' she said. 'Tolkien is my favourite author – he studied and taught at Oxford and wrote the books that shaped my love of reading. That's why I decided to apply there.' Gabrielle said her standout moments at Dame Allan's, an independent school in Fenham, Newcastle, include performing Visiting Hours and Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran at school concerts in memory of her mother. 'She loved hearing me sing, so it felt special to sing for her in front of others,' she said. 'Those songs encapsulate what grief feels like.'

The best Indian restaurant in London, according to the 2025 English Curry Awards
On the hunt for your next great Indian meal? We feel you. If you've already worked your way through our list of the best Indian and south Asian restaurants in London, then you're probably in need of extra inspiration. Step forward the English Curry Awards. Run by Oceanic Awards, the annual competition exists to 'celebrate the rich tapestry of flavours that the curry industry brings to the English culinary landscape', and was held on August 11 in Birmingham. Worthy work, we think you'll agree. While London didn't scoop the top prize of overall national champion – that went to Sherkhan of Alnwick, a locally beloved restaurant and take-away in Northumberland – there were a bunch of regional winners and London 's greatest Indian restaurant was named as Masala Inn, which you'll find on the fringes of south London in Bexleyheath. A 'contemporary Indian restaurant and grill', Masala Inn's menu features a number of signature dishes, including Goan fish masala, creamy malabar, and lamb kaalia, as well as a host of biriani and balti dishes. Masala Inn fans have been showing their love of the restaurant on TripAdvisor, with a not too shabby 4.7 rating. One wrote: 'Everything we ordered was fantastic, especially the Malabar chicken; so rich and creamy!' Another added: 'The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food is outstandingly good. I've tried many of the items on the menu, the railway curry is excellent, full of tender lamb and flavour.'

Game of Thrones legend lands huge role in new period drama about beloved figure
The Game of Thrones icon is set to grace screens once again with a major role in a new star-studded period drama. Acclaimed actor Sean Bean, renowned for his performances in Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and This City Is Ours, is poised to headline a brand new period drama. MGM+ today revealed a first glimpse of the forthcoming series Robin Hood, which will premiere later this year. The ten-part inaugural season, offering a fresh take on the English folk hero's tale, features Bean as the intimidating Sheriff of Nottingham opposite Gladiator star Connie Nielsen as Eleanor of Aquitaine. The preview image from the new programme provides "a glimpse at the tense rivalries and high-stakes power struggles at the heart of this reimagined take on the legendary tale". Robin Hood, helmed by showrunner John Glenn and producer/director Jonathan English, has been characterised by MGM+ as "a smart, sweeping, romantic adventure that brings historical authenticity, psychological depth, and a heightened focus on the relationship between Rob and Marian to the beloved story." Rising star Jack Patten will take on the titular role, whilst Hollyoaks actress Lauren McQueen will portray Marian, reports the Express. The cast also includes Lydia Peckham (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), Steven Waddington (The Trap), Marcus Fraser (Foundation), Angus Castle-Doughty (Shadow and Bone) and social media sensation Henry Rowley. The debut image from Robin Hood shows Nielsen adorned in an exquisite blue gown, a cape and a golden crown. Bean's appearance, meanwhile, harks back to his stint as Ned Stark in Game of Thrones. The duo are seen hand in hand, navigating through what seems to be a castle room lit by candles, with servants poised attentively behind them. There have been numerous memorable renditions of the Robin Hood tale over time, including Errol Flynn's iconic portrayal in 1938's The Adventures of Robin Hood. Cinema enthusiasts will also recall Kevin Costner and Alan Rickman's performances in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Other unforgettable films featuring the character include 1976's Robin and Marian, starring Hollywood greats Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn, and Disney's animated classic Robin Hood from 1973. The 2025 series Robin Hood is yet to announce a release date, but it's expected to premiere later this year on MGM+ in the U.K., Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands.
