Eddie Izzard - Languages

[China Doll]

Evening,

I seem to recall in my feeble little brain watching or listening to Eddie Izzard speaking to someone in English who was answering back in their language but Eddie was able to understand what they were saying. I'd love to know what language this was.

Does anyone know a) if I've actually seen/heard this and it's not just all in my head? and b) what the language was if I've not imagined it?

Ta Muchly :c)

Tried googling for an answer but it seems that mr Izzard speaks a few language so there were tons of hits. Then I got bored - sorry.

It was a programme called Mongrel nation. I think this might be what you want
