Double Science is a British sitcom on BBC Radio 4. It follows Colin Jackson (no relation) and Kenneth Farley-Pittman, two chemistry teachers existing in a work-life balance haven at the fictional Forresters Sixth Form College.[1] As the college specialises in drama, the science department has long languished in happy obscurity, but the recent death of the old department head and the arrival of new head Alison Hatton threatens to wake the pair from their real ale fueled malaise.

Beertongue

Colin and Kenneth spend much of their time brewing beer and drinking others' home-brews. At one point they visit a beer festival, where a fictional language called "Beertongue" is spoken - a mixture of Old English and Latin, with some Klingon and Elvish.
