00:30Hello, everybody. This is the happiest place you could possibly be on a Monday afternoon.
00:36I blooming hate weekends because there's no countdown at all.
00:40Let the working week begin again so we can have some afternoon escapism.
00:44How are you doing, Rachel?
00:45I'm good. I'm not as enthusiastic as you, but nobody is.
00:48I just sit in the house in the darks all Saturday, Sunday, just, you know, coming down, wanting to get back.
00:54Well, we're back here now.
00:55Yes. Listen, today, 60 years ago, 1963.
01:00Three was the March on Washington for jobs and freedom, which, of course, spurned, I think, the greatest speech of all time.
01:09The most famous speech of all time, Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech.
01:13It's interesting to say that, isn't it?
01:15Because there's been so many great speeches, but maybe it's, you know, in the modern, in our generation, I don't think there's a bigger, greater moment, is there?
01:24No, it's iconic.
01:25And, you know, to be able to quote things off the top of your head from 60 years ago.
01:29Yeah.
01:29Yeah, it's incredible. Definitely the most famous speech I could think of.
01:32Well, there's a great quote about it.
01:33The right man delivered the right words to the right people in the right place at the right time.
01:39But actually, and I think it's really important about it, is it was actually the right woman was in the right place at the right time.
01:47Mahalia Jackson was a pioneer to pioneers.
01:49As a gospel singer, as an African-American gospel singer, she sold over 22 million albums, you know, through the 50s and 60s.
01:58Ridiculous.
02:01And he'd given the speech before, and there wasn't like the I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream.
02:06It was once or twice, I think.
02:08Don't quote me on that, but it was quite a small part.
02:10But she was there, in Washington, and she said, and I wrote down to get it exactly right, she said, tell him about the dream, Martin.
02:22And it was like a call and response.
02:24She kept saying it.
02:24Tell him about the dream, Martin.
02:25And he went off script and just started riffing on this, tell him about a dream, Martin, as Mahalia Jackson shouted it.
02:32Feels quite gospel, even the way you tell that, doesn't it?
02:35Just a kind of gospel heckling.
02:36It's remarkable, but Mahalia Jackson is the key name there that is worth mentioning, eh?
02:42The woman behind the men.
02:43Yes, as always.
02:45Right, let's head to Dictionary Corner.
02:47There she is, Susie Dent, our G of the D, and rejoined by a comedian, an actor, an author, who made his debut quite recently.
02:56We were so happy to have him here, but we were like, will he come back?
02:59We're not sure whether he'll want to have us again, but thankfully he does.
03:02Arlo Hanlon's here.
03:03How's life for you, all right?
03:07Oh, I wouldn't have missed coming back for anything.
03:09Get stuck into this cauldron of competition.
03:14Alliteration's exactly what we need in a Monday afternoon.
03:17A cauldron of competition for Copley.
03:19Rachel Copley is her champion with one win in the bag.
03:23Huge, huge Prince fan.
03:26But I believe your fine art is your thing, isn't it?
03:29It was for a time.
03:30I did a fine art degree about 15 years ago, and I did painting mainly.
03:36I used to like drawing as well sometimes, but since I had the children, I've not been doing so much drawing lately.
03:40Maybe you could paint the sort of picture of us, you know, on the TV and send it in.
03:44Possibly.
03:45That'd be great, right?
03:46You're part of family now.
03:46Right, well, listen, good luck today.
03:48You're up against Barry Page from West Sussex.
03:51How are you, sir?
03:52Yep, good.
03:53A lot of people, and I don't mean this in a bad way, but a lot of people, when they come on, they might have something they want to plug, you know, and they'll be really...
04:00But actually, Barry didn't, but he gave me his book that he's written as a gift, and then you were so surprised when I said, oh, we'll talk about it.
04:08I love that.
04:09I love the fact you weren't listening to it, but this is, ah-ha, down to the tracks.
04:14Why this, and how amazing for this to come about?
04:18How did it come about?
04:19Well, um, well, it was, well, by accident, really.
04:22Um, I was doing a lot of, um, blog writing, um, about sort of four or five years ago, um, and the articles were getting longer and longer, and, um, so the next sort of logical step was a book, and I just had this, um, yeah, approach just came out of the blue, and, yeah.
04:41I love it.
04:41And the rest is history.
04:42Well, forget take on me, you've got to take on Rachel.
04:44Good luck to both of you.
04:45APPLAUSE
04:46Right, Rachel, you know.
04:49All right, this works now, let's go.
04:50Good afternoon, Rachel.
04:51Afternoon, Rachel.
04:52May I start with a consonant, please?
04:53Start the week with R.
04:56And another.
04:58H.

05:57I'll try at eight.

06:02And Barry?
06:03Not sure about this.
06:04Writers.
06:05R-I-G-H-T-E-R-S.
06:07OK.
06:08Susie?
06:09Yeah, it's actually in the dictionary.
06:12So, those who campaign for animal rights are called animal writers.
06:16Excellent.
06:17Anything else, Ardell?
06:18I had a seven, a possible seven.
06:21I had shirter.
06:23Somebody who makes shirts.
06:25A shirty.
06:26Not a tailor then.
06:27We're not calling them tailors.
06:28No, no, no.
06:29Oh, shirtier.
06:30You can be shirtier than the next person but not a shirter so far.
06:33We only had one I.
06:34What a shame.
06:35Shirtier would be a great word.
06:36Yeah.
06:37No regrets then.
06:38We'll just move on to the next round.
06:40Barry, you're picking the letters.

07:47Breads, yes.
07:48And Rachel.
07:49I've got beards.
07:50Simple, straight, forward, round.
07:52Ardell.

08:34What a start. Rachel, Rach.
08:36Off you go.
08:38We'll go for one from the top.
08:40And five from anywhere else, please.
08:42Thank you, Rach. One large five little.
08:44And the first numbers of the week are

08:56240. Numbers up.
09:18Well that was fun, Rach.
09:30240. And Barry. The same.
09:32Rach, go ahead.
09:3425 minus one is 24.
09:3625 minus one, 24.
09:38And five times two is ten.
09:40Yep.
09:41Ten times them.
09:42Yep. 240. Lovely.
09:43Barry.
09:44Slightly different.
09:4525 minus one.
09:4625 minus one, 24.
09:47And five times two is ten.
09:48Ah.
09:49Multiply.
09:50Same result.
09:51Lovely.
09:52It's been very giddy today.
09:56Shall we get out of her car,
09:58grab a branch off a tree,
10:00and beat it.
10:01Because the Tea Time teaser is
10:03Tin Basil.
10:04Tin Basil.
10:05Mrs Fawlty could make this insect hiss.
10:08Mrs Fawlty could make this insect hiss.
10:11Welcome back.
10:29Mrs Fawlty Sibyl, of course,
10:31could make this insect hiss.
10:33So it's Sibyl ant.
10:35I've worked that much out.
10:36So at least hiss.
10:38So sibilant must be connected to hiss, Susie.
10:41Yeah, but we never use hiss in a very positive way,
10:43but it can be a very beautiful sound.
10:45And lots of people say Mediterranean languages
10:47are quite sibilant,
10:48because they recreate the soothing sound of the sea.
10:51Lovely.
10:52Which is lovely.
10:53Great.

15:24I found one way.
15:26Really?
15:26Yes.
15:27Four times ten is 40.
15:30Take away three for 37, and then times it by 25, and you get 925, with seven times seven
15:38for 49, to take away an 8, 7, 6.
15:40Look at that.
15:41Look at that.
15:42Let's take a break.
15:46Catch up with Ardell.
15:47And never worry about our chats, because you bring that, our trademark Irish hospitality,
15:53into the studio.
15:53Very led back when Ardell's here.
15:55It's true, though.
15:57Yeah, I think Irish people are friendly.
15:58I think Northern Irish people are particularly friendly.
16:01Yeah, we haven't always had that reputation.
16:02No, but when you get to know you, I think I find the hospitality in Northern Ireland particularly
16:09over the top, actually.
16:11It's almost like borderline aggression.
16:14Seriously.
16:14I remember one time, I was a very young stand-up comedian, and I was doing a show in Derry,
16:19the city of Derry, and I hadn't been to bed the night before, and crazy days, and I rang
16:26ahead to the B&B to see if my room was ready.
16:29Absolutely true story.
16:30And I arrive in the room, and I need a little nap before the show, so the door is opened
16:35by this very tall, rangy fella.
16:38He looks at the image of Norman Bates, you know, from the psychophilms, and you would
16:41think that is the first rule of hospitality, try to look as little like Norman Bates.
16:44But anyway, he shows me into the room, and there's a hot water bottle in the bed, which
16:51is a nice touch, even though it's a July, it's a lovely touch.
16:55And then I drift off to sleep, and about ten minutes later, so I'm in bed, and he tiptoes
17:02into my room, and he goes over to the window, closes the curtain, and then he did something
17:08I really wasn't expecting.
17:09He tucked me in.
17:10Oh, no!
17:11That is a little over the top, wouldn't you agree?
17:13So he goes around the bed, tucking me in really, really tightly.
17:18And if this was meant to make me feel cosy and snug, it didn't.
17:21I was never more terrified in all my life.
17:24There you go.
17:24But it's like, it's, it's, it's, but Irish people generally are very friendly and very
17:30apologetic about everything.
17:32I don't know if you've noticed this, if you've ever been there.
17:34And I remember one time, I was about 18, and I was mugged on a bus, and, er...
17:40Another great example of Irish hospitality.
17:41Well, but, Will, I tell you, I was sitting upstairs on my own, and there was no one else
17:45around, this man gets on the bus and he sits beside me, and, er, you know you're in trouble
17:49then, cos there's all these empty seats and he sits beside me.
17:52And, er, after about 10 or 15 minutes, he pulls out a knife and he demands all my money,
17:57and I gave him whatever I had, and then I heard myself apologising to him.
18:00I said, sorry, I've only got a fiver.
18:02LAUGHTER
18:03But then, he apologised to me.
18:06He said, er, sorry, I had to do that, this is true.
18:08Yeah.
18:09It was a very moving experience.
18:10And we're still in touch.
18:11LAUGHTER
18:13Thank you so much.
18:14APPLAUSE
18:17Let's get more letters, don't you?

19:23Oh, say five.
19:24Yeah, I wasn't expecting to hear the number eight.
19:27What's the five, Barry?
19:29Spout.
19:29Right, come on.
19:31Wipeouts.
19:32Wipeouts.
19:33Yes, you can put the S on it.
19:34Wipeout is being overwhelmingly defeated or obliterated,
19:38or it's a fall from the surfboard.
19:39You can definitely have more than one.
19:41I had a really good one, Colin.
19:42I had wipeout.
19:44Oh, it's nothing worse than putting the S on.
19:48That's great, Rachel.
19:49Not much needed, but great timing.
19:52They pull it back within five points.

21:35Oh.
21:36No.

25:30Dictionary Corner, you won't better it, but can you match it?
25:33I think I can better it.
25:35I mean, it's a nicer word.
25:36It's a bit shorter, but it's a prettier word.
25:39It's adroit.
25:40Adroit.
25:40Yeah.
25:41And radiant, which is seven.
25:43Radiant, to be fair, is a better word already.
25:45No, but I prefer adroit.
25:46Anyone can get a nine-letter word, but if you can get a beautiful word.
25:50I agree.

26:56Our time is up, Rachel. Seven. And Barry. And a seven.
27:00And a seven. Well done, Rich. Slapper. And Barry.
27:03I'm a slapper as well. There you go.
27:06There were lots of sevens, weren't there? Papules, perusal, appeals.
27:10Excellent. Very good indeed.
27:1368. 62. Four rounds left.
27:17What a great way to start the week as we pause for our first Origins of Words.
27:21First of five this week. What are we talking about, Suze?
27:24Well, I'm going to base these on emails from our lovely viewers.
27:28And I have to say, Maggie Storer has asked me a question I've never really thought about.
27:32And I love these kinds because it just gets me thinking, oh, yeah.
27:37She asks, could you let us know the origins of to pit your wits against someone?
27:42Pit. We all know what it means.
27:43It means to, you know, to sort of line up with somebody and compete against them.
27:47But why pit? Why are we pitting our wits?
27:49So I'm going to go back to pit.
27:51So the pit that's the large hole in the ground, that goes back to the Roman word putis, which meant a well shaft.
27:56So something very deep indeed that is, you know, channeled into the ground.
28:02We've been using pits as a shortened term for the armpits for a long time.
28:07And some people think that that's why we talk about the situation being so dire.
28:11It is the pits because nobody wants anything to resemble the armpits, if you like.
28:17But there is another probably more plausible suggestion that actually is about being in a deep, dark hole along with the rest of the sort of lowest rank of people.
28:26But on to Maggie's question, to pit your wits.
28:30Now, this comes from another use of pit to mean a small enclosed area.
28:35And we know that horribly, cockerels and dogs were set upon each other for fighting purposes for entertainment.
28:43Really horrible.
28:44But it's probably the idea if you pit your wits, you are in the pit, lining up against somebody and competing against them.
28:50And of course, we have the cockpit as well.
28:53And that goes back to the use of a small enclosed area, particularly on fighter aircraft, which again looks back to those horrible fights that people used to put up for entertainment.
29:03So it's quite a sort of big world, this world of pits.
29:06But I have to say none of them particularly pleasant.
29:08We pit our wits every day here, Susie. Thank you.
29:11APPLAUSE
