Zut Alors! The unexpected new French Scrabble champ

A man who can barely speak French has just won the French language Scrabble championship. New Zealander Nigel Richards spent just two months memorising thousands of French words - many of which he doesn't even understand. Stefan Fatsis, author of a book about the classic board game - 'Word Freak' - tells Newshour about the man dubbed 'the Tiger Woods of Scrabble'.
