00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Hello, everybody. It's Wednesday, July 26th,
00:34and another summer's day drenched in letters and numbers.
00:39Rachel Riley, I have a pronunciation question for you
00:42to kick off today's show.
00:44Is it tofu or tofu?
00:47I mean, you're asking the wrong woman, but we'd always say tofu.
00:50Not that I'm a pronunciation expert,
00:52but I have eaten a lot of tofu in my time.
00:54Yeah, tofu, then. Well, today's World Tofu Day.
00:58Please, please don't mix it up with National Tofu Day,
01:02which is September the 1st.
01:04I think we can all agree we need two days to celebrate tofu.
01:08But, you know, as you know, I'm a meat eater,
01:10but I try and sort of be more conscientious about my diet,
01:13so it has crept in.
01:15Great history. It goes back over 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty.
01:18And actually, when you try and eat a bit less meat,
01:21it's so versatile. I mean, you can make anything with it.
01:24Yeah, I mean, when I used to eat meat,
01:26I think it was that horrible kind of shrivelly stuff
01:28you get in a Chinese takeaway, but now I'm a vegan,
01:31and we use it for so many things.
01:33Like, instead of scrambled eggs, you use silk and tofu.
01:35Or instead of tuna mayonnaise, you can use braised tofu.
01:38And it comes... It's like cheese.
01:40You know, you wouldn't just say cheese is one thing.
01:42There's about 17,000 things you can do with tofu
01:44the same way you can do with cheese.
01:46And a lot of it, of course, is not as much about taste
01:49as about your emotional attachment and your programming to it.
01:53So take a bacon sandwich, to me,
01:55that takes me back to childhood and indulgence.
01:58So a lot of it's that.
02:00So your children, obviously, the norm is, as you say,
02:03scrambled tofu.
02:05Yeah, they love it.
02:07The baby can't get enough scrambled tofu.
02:09And even, like you said, with the nostalgia stuff,
02:11one of the things I miss being vegan is chopped liver,
02:14which is a dish that we used to have from Ashkenazi household.
02:17And I've made it out of tofu for the liver
02:20and then different tofu for the egg part of it.
02:23My kids just lap it up, they love it.
02:25Thank you very much, Rach, as we look over to Dictionary Corner.
02:28Susie Dent, our G of the day,
02:30joined by somebody who's been here three days
02:32and making it his fourth, comedian Neil Delamere.
02:35APPLAUSE
02:38The last time I was on the show, we discovered the word madeleine,
02:42which is what you would describe as a bacon sandwich.
02:44Do you remember that? Yes, I do.
02:46It's a word that brings you back...
02:48It brings you back to your childhood.
02:50It's all coming full circle again. What a good memory.
02:52It's funny when you do 250 of these.
02:54You don't generally remember a word that was in three months ago.
02:57But you did, Sus, you were on.
02:59Yeah, yeah. Well, we were talking about this, weren't we?
03:01Because it was Marcel Proust who used it in that way.
03:04It sounds highbrow. High-end conversations.
03:06We do. You're a perfect couple. Definitely are.
03:09I mean, that is a compliment.
03:11Howell Jones is our new champion.
03:1330-point deficit overturned yesterday.
03:16Just got better and better.
03:18So, as you're learning Welsh now, our project manager from North Wales,
03:21what's Welsh for teapot?
03:23I think it's tebot.
03:25Tebot.
03:26I believe so, but my mum will probably be shouting at the screen now,
03:29telling me I'm wrong.
03:30But I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
03:32Yeah, she won't be shouting at you when you bring the tebot back.
03:35Absolutely not, no.
03:36Well, listen, good luck today, mate.
03:38You're taking on the wonderful Trevor Dawson from County Durham.
03:42We've been having good chats before we even rolled the titles.
03:45So many great jobs you've had over the years.
03:49But a bingo caller.
03:51He knows all the...
03:52You might not get the numbers round,
03:54but you'll know what to say for each of them.
03:56I can call them out. I'm not that good at adding them up, though.
03:59What's your most memorable bingo hall moment?
04:02Well, it's a bit embarrassing,
04:04but we used to do this thing every year,
04:06runs in conjunction with Britain's Got Talent.
04:09Yeah.
04:10And there was one year they didn't have enough acts in our hall.
04:13So that's as if I would stand in and do something,
04:16give us two hours to prepare,
04:17and they wanted us to recreate Freddie Mercury
04:19in the I Want To Break Free video.
04:22Had two hours to go out to the shops to give us some money.
04:25I had to go and buy a black miniskirt, a pink T-shirt.
04:29I don't know what was embarrassing more,
04:31was either doing it or asking the shop assistant
04:33if I could try them on first.
04:37I love that.
04:38I'm sure you excelled.
04:39Let's see if your number's up today.
04:41Trevor and Howell, best of luck to you.
04:46OK, Howell, I won't stop you now. Let's get some letters.
04:49OK. Afternoon again, Rachel.
04:51Can I start with a consonant, please?
04:53You can indeed. Start today with D.
04:55And another one.

05:58And Trevor?
05:59Also a six.
06:00A six, OK. What have we got?
06:02Detail.
06:03Detail. And Trevor?
06:05Dental.
06:06There you go. Steady start.
06:08We're going to get better here from Neil Delamere.
06:10He'll be on his game.
06:11Yeah, I was excited by Titian,
06:13but it's a capital as far as I know, isn't it?
06:15It is, yes.
06:16But we do have a seven for...
06:18And that's tainted.
06:19That's right, yeah.
06:20A bit of tainted love, a bit of soft sound.
06:22Tainted love.
06:23Lovely.
06:24All done. Nine more letters, Trevor.

07:49Roomier, moodier, yeah.
07:51All those, lovely.
07:52Seven points apiece.
07:53We're locked at 13 points.
07:55So let's see if our first numbers round of the day can split you.
07:59Can I have three large and three small, please, Rachel?
08:02You can indeed. You're gambling early.
08:04Just in case, three large, three little are like your style.
08:06The three little ones for the first time today.
08:08Six, four and one.
08:10And the big ones, 50, 100 and 75.

08:54It's one of those you have to see in a second or it's frustrating.
08:57Howell?
08:5850 minus one.
08:59And the penny's going to drop, 49.
09:01Six plus four.
09:02Is ten.
09:03And multiply them together.
09:04490, yeah.

09:44in the letters department.

10:57How many, Trevor? Just a six. Howell?
10:59Yeah, just six for me as well.
11:01The six it was, what have you got?
11:03Same again.
11:04Yeah.
11:05That was the six that jumped out, but can you add to that?
11:09Yeah, there's a few sixes, Relive.
11:11I think Relive is OK, isn't it?
11:13Relive is fine.
11:14Yeah, but there is a seven.
11:16Fertile.
11:17Fertile.
11:18Yes.

12:26OK, a little bit frustrating, that. Howell?
12:29Six.
12:30Yeah, and just a five. What's the five?
12:32Waste.
12:33Yes, waste and...?
12:34Arrows.
12:35And arrows, arrows.
12:37Well, that's saying something, doesn't it?
12:39Because Trevor loves the darts and he didn't see arrows up there.
12:44But, hey, Howell's fallen asleep at the darts,
12:47so he was wide awake to it there.
12:49Anything else in Dixie Corner?
12:51Yeah, there is another couple of sixes,
12:53but we can't do any better than that.
12:55No, we can't. Tough one, that one.
12:57Ratios for six.
12:58Thank you very much.
12:59The numbers again. Trevor, Redemption Time. Let's have six.
13:03Could I try two large, please, Rachel?
13:05You can indeed. Thank you, Trevor.
13:07Two from the top and four little ones.
13:09And for the second time today,
13:11the number selection is 10, 4, 8, 8, 75 and 25.
13:18And the target, 749.
13:21749, numbers up.
13:23MUSIC PLAYS
13:30MUSIC CONTINUES
13:53749, the target. Please tell me you got it, Trevor.
13:56I did this time, yes.
13:57Oh, my goodness. Howell, yes, I got 749 as well.
14:00Do you know how I know you got it?
14:02You've got a little tail, like a poker player when you're doing well.
14:05You go like this in your chair. You're like a dog wags his tail.
14:09When Trevor's happy, he's very cute, he's like this.
14:12Yeah!
14:13Trevor, off you go.
14:15I've done 75 times 10.
14:17750.
14:198 over 8 is 1.
14:21Another easy one. 749.
14:23Same way, Howell?
14:24Exactly the same way, yes.
14:26749.
14:28APPLAUSE
14:30Now, think of another show where someone's asked to come on
14:33for five shows in a row.
14:35It's a bit of a time commitment,
14:37and that's what we're going to talk about with Neil Delamere now,
14:40because obviously it means you're away from home,
14:43you travel over and you've got a little bit of making up to do.
14:46Yeah, it's my wedding anniversary this week.
14:48Yeah.
14:49Yeah, so I'd like to say hello to my lovely missus,
14:51best thing that ever happened to me.
14:53I think she's more than every argument we ever have,
14:55most of the time.
14:56She doesn't like when I tell one story.
14:58We got married in a Catholic church because it was the closest one
15:01to her house, right, her own place,
15:03and we had to convince her parish priest that we were very devout,
15:06even though we are entirely irreligious people.
15:08And we went in and I watched that woman transform
15:11from 21st-century sophisticated Irish businesswoman
15:14to 19th-century peasant.
15:16He opened the door of the parochial house, she went,
15:20And river danced into the parochial house.
15:23And he says,
15:27She goes,
15:28She's never said the word twas in her life before.
15:30Twas a lovely holiday, Father, but an expensive one.
15:33What with the two rooms and all.
15:35And I was like, what are you talking about?
15:37So he's asking her, like, do you have a date in mind?
15:40And she goes, absolutely,
15:41the Feast of St Anthony of Padua, June 13th next year.
15:44And he goes, I'll go, I'll get the diary.
15:46So he leaves.
15:47And I'm looking at her going, what are you talking about?
15:49St Anthony of Padua.
15:50She's, I've always loved St Anthony of Padua.
15:53I said, like, last week,
15:54your favourite disciples were bashful and grumpy.
15:56You don't know anything about this at all.
15:58And, like, she's, like, I said, you're going overboard.
16:00And, like, she was, like, she was covered in rosary beads,
16:03like, head to foot, like,
16:04she looked like a taxi driver's massage seat cover.
16:06That's what she looked like.
16:07They were clanking off her chastity belt
16:09as she walked throughout the rest of the house.
16:11So we got the date and all the rest.
16:13But at the end, we actually, you had to do a course.
16:15This is a good few years ago. You had to do a course.
16:17And she reminds me of this, because she does get the last words,
16:20because she's much cleverer than I am.
16:22And she showed it to me.
16:23We had to fill in a form, and on the form it says,
16:25name three benefits that being married to Neil,
16:28marriage to Neil, will bring to your relationship.
16:30And she wrote down housing benefit, child benefit
16:33and the benefit of hindsight.
16:35LAUGHTER
16:37APPLAUSE
16:40Well, no offence.
16:41We know who the better half is, just from that story.
16:43So do I, though. That's the key.
16:45Happy wedding anniversary to both of you.
16:48Let's get back to the game,
16:50because we've got to split you two up by the time the show finishes.
16:54Let's get back to letters and ho-ow.
16:56Yes, can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?

19:49Yeah, and panties, obviously, fine, too.
19:51Yeah, and panties, obviously, fine.

21:00Well, off you go first, then.
21:01That happens, you know.
21:03I admire that honesty up front.
21:05Howell, you've written yours down, it'll be a bit easier.
21:08Yeah, so nine minus six is three.
21:10Yep.
21:11Multiply it by 100.
21:12300.
21:13And add 50 and 25.
21:15Two away.

21:19Yes, it was there with nine plus six is 15.
21:2315 times 25 gets you to 375.

23:35Yeah, the ING, quite a few sevens in there.
23:38Yeah, all the things that you do at your local service station,

24:30CLOCK TICKS
24:51It's always time for Howell.
24:53Six.
24:54And Trevor.
24:55Only a five.
24:56A risky one.
24:57Only a five.
24:58What's going on here today?
25:00Right, what's the five?
25:01Ghouls.
25:02G-O...
25:03G-O-O-L-S.
25:04OK.
25:05And it won't matter much if this counts.
25:07Losers.
25:08Yes, losers, which you're trying desperately not to be today.
25:11Aw.
25:12Yeah.
25:13No ghouls with that spelling.
25:15There you go.
25:16What have you got in Dictionary Corner?
25:18I'm not sure if it's a word. Is glosser in?
25:20You can have a glosser.
25:21It means pretty much the same as gloss.
25:23You can have a lip glosser, if you would like one.
25:25That's for seven.
25:26All right.
25:27Let's see who shows origins of words today.
25:29Just a lovely thank you also to our Countdown viewers
25:33who just never fail to send in lovely questions.
25:36And I think we talked about this quite recently, Colin, actually.
25:39This one comes from Gillian Gledhill,
25:41who asks about the word bagsy, as in, I bagsy the first ride.
25:45And she says,
25:46it was certainly used in Yorkshire when I was a child.
25:48I've heard it used in Scotland
25:49and seen it used in literature in the south of England.
25:52This is one that always foxes Americans particularly.
25:56Much as you might say,
25:57oh, they bagged a few trophies this season,
26:00the idea is bags I.
26:02I bags this particular seat, for example.
26:05And I remember us talking about how
26:07certainly the North American equivalent,
26:09which has crept into British English slang, is shotgun.
26:12As in, I shotgun this.
26:14And I think we've kind of lost the earliest meaning of that,
26:17which I remember you talking about,
26:19which is actually grabbing the seat, the front passenger seat,
26:23because that was originally where people,
26:25particularly in the Wild West,
26:26would carry a shotgun in order to protect the vehicle.
26:29But obviously, best seat in the car, pretty much,
26:32which is how it crept into that.
26:34So lots and lots of them.
26:35But there's two that you may not have heard of.
26:38And one is fainites,
26:41which is often used as a truce word, actually,
26:44in children's playground games,
26:46much like packs used to be used in the 60s,
26:49or home, or safe, or whatever you like to call it.
26:53Fainites was fain-I, I would rather.
26:56And that was something that was also tagged on at the beginning,
26:59much like bagsy or much like shotgun.
27:01And also dibs, as in, I dibs this one.
27:05And you might wonder what that is all about.
27:07Again, they used this in North America in the same way as bagsy.
27:11And it's really interesting, this one,
27:13because it can be traced back to a 17th-century children's game
27:16that was called Dibstones.
27:18And that was very similar to what we call Jacks,
27:21the wonderful game with the jacks and a ball.
27:24So there was these little counters that you had to pick up
27:27whilst the ball was in the air.
27:29They were dibstones.
27:30And we think the dib there actually goes back to dab.
27:33It's simply a variant on dab, sort of a light flick, if you like.
27:36But that's another one that has lasted for absolutely centuries.
27:39And I think if we take a lot of our playground slang
27:42and investigate its origins,
27:43you'll see it has been there for a very, very long time.
27:46Lovely.
27:47APPLAUSE
27:50There's only one seat on Countdown you could say is shotgun,
27:53and that is the Champions Chair.
27:55Howell, you're not quite safe in it yet.
27:57Four rounds left for the 22-point lead.
27:59And, Trevor, letters.
28:01Could I start with a consonant, please?
28:03Thank you, Trevor. D.

28:33And a vowel, please.
28:36And a final E.
28:38Countdown.
28:45ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS
29:09That's time up. Possibilities, Trevor.
29:12I think I'll risk an eight.
29:14And Howell?
29:15Eight.
29:16Eight as well. Trevor?
29:17Breadmen.
29:18Breadmen.
29:19Yes, remember them well. Growing up, they disappeared.
29:22Howell?
29:23Bemoaned.
29:24Bemoaned. A bit more straightforward.
29:26I mean, the breadmen are kind of fabled.
29:29Oh, I know, and they are in the dictionary,
29:31but they are there as two words.
29:33Oh, that's really, really bad luck. I'm sorry.
29:35It's worth a start with that, for sure.
29:37Absolutely. You're only here once.
29:39Anything else in Dictionary Corner?
29:41There's a few sevens.
29:43Abdomen, meander, renamed.
29:46A lot of sevens, but that eight, bemoaned, is very special.
29:50Let's get more letters from you now, champ.
29:53OK, I'll have a consonant, please, Rachel.
29:55Thank you, Howell. S.
29:57And a second one, please.
29:59F.
30:00And a third.
30:02T.
30:03And a vowel.
30:05A.
30:06Another vowel.
30:07E.
30:09A consonant.
30:11S.
30:13Another consonant.
30:15H.
30:17A vowel.
30:19A.
30:21And a final consonant, please.
30:24And a final. Another S.
30:26Oh, last letters.
30:40THEY CONTINUE
30:59Howell? I think a seven.
31:01And Trevor? Only a six.
31:03Well, they only think, so you never know.
31:05What have you got? Shafts. What are you thinking?
31:07Stashes. Stashes?
31:09Yes, stashes something away. Very good.
31:11Well done.
31:13How do you think that?
31:14Susie has said the seven.
31:16That is the day after Shrove Tuesday, which is Ashfest.
31:19It's not in the dictionary.
31:21What a shame. What a shame that is.
31:23Well, there you go.
31:24So the score is 86 plays 49.
31:27We're going to go to the last numbers round, and Trevor?
31:30Finish off with two large, please.
31:32Why not? Two large, four little. Thank you, Trevor.
31:35So, our ten, four, seven, eight,
31:41and the large to 25 and 75,
31:44and the target to reach 805.
31:47805, numbers up.
32:06MUSIC CONTINUES
32:18805, Trevor.
32:20807.
32:21Two away, and how well?
32:23805.
32:24Off you go.
32:25Seven minus four for three.
32:28Three.
32:29Add that to 75.
32:3178.
32:32Multiply that by ten.
32:34780.
32:35And add on the 25.
32:37Nicely done. 805.
32:38APPLAUSE
32:41And with that, you can break the 100 barrier for your second win
32:46if you can get this Countdown Conundrum.
32:49But Trevor will hopefully be able to stop you from his point of view.
32:53Let's see if you can get bingo here, Trevor.
32:55Finger on the buzzer, you two whole,
32:57as we reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.

33:10APPLAUSE
33:14Well done.
33:15What a way to go out, and it just reinforces today, Trevor,
33:18that it was really a numbers game.
33:21That's why you're numbers up, isn't it?
33:23That's why I only called them. Yeah.
33:25LAUGHTER
33:27Because on the letters, that was fab today,
33:30and you took a few risks as well. Yeah.
33:32And created a really good show. Thank you so much, Mick.
33:35Best of luck with everything. Thank you. Fabulous. Cheers.
33:37And you made it to another day. Two wins.
33:39Century, though, that's your new target tomorrow.
33:41That's the target tomorrow, then, isn't it, Colin? Yeah.
33:43Happy days, Mick. We'll see you then. Well done. Thank you.
33:45Two wins. Mr Delamere, get on the phone to your wife.
33:48Have you sent flowers, chocolates?
33:50All of that is in hand. You've done all that.
33:52All right, we'll see you tomorrow. Back with Susie, thank you.
33:55Yeah, look forward to that. All done, Richard.
