00:30Hello, everybody. It's Deja Vu once again here as we get ready for another week of the Irreplaceable Countdown.
00:38And it's safe to say, after more than four decades, we're still crazy in love.
00:43And look who's over there, the naughty girl of Countdown, Rachel Riley.
00:47How are you?
00:48Good.
00:49Listen, I'm trying to...
00:50Oh, you said naughty, not naughty.
00:51No, naughty, naughty girl.
00:53I know you're a bit younger than me. I've made a real effort here.
00:56Loads of references to a slightly more modern artist.
00:59Yeah, Beyoncé, Queen Bey.
01:02I was going to say, you know, you say Beyoncé, but it's the Queen, of course.
01:05She's 42, 42 today.
01:07Oh, happy birthday, Beyoncé.
01:08Phenomenal. Are you a fan?
01:10Yeah, I mean, who can't resist dancing to her music?
01:14She's been around forever as well, since I was, you know, a teenager.
01:16But Destiny's Child and the outfits and the stage presence.
01:20And she's just kind of an icon, isn't she?
01:22She's the most award-winning female solo artist of all time.
01:28I don't know how that's worked out, but she won so, so many.
01:31No other female artist has ever won more awards.
01:33She's amazing.
01:34So what on earth would you get her for her birthday?
01:36I would get our champion, Rachel, to paint her a picture.
01:41Right, you're passing the buck, are you?
01:43Simple as that.
01:44I mean, we know Rachel does life drawings as well, so she's not going to interview you again.
01:48I don't think I'll get you.
01:49She's going to put you on her list.
01:50I'll do it.
01:51I'm not going to get a second interview with Beyoncé if I suggest that.
01:54But that's what you do for people who are super rich.
01:57You have to make them something, because you can't buy them anything.
01:59That's what I'm going to do for your birthday.
02:01Right.
02:01Make you something nice, you know.
02:02I'll get the macaroni sent over to you, ready?
02:05Yes, exactly.
02:05Whereas with Susie, you just, you know, give her an Amazon token.
02:08It's all good.
02:09How did we get here?
02:10To introduce Dictionary Corner.
02:11I can actually see her halo from here as I look over our J of the D, Susie Dent.
02:17And listen, back again, but a really big thing has changed since Rick Edwards was in Dictionary Corner just, what, six months ago.
02:26Big news.
02:27He won a Radio Academy Gold Award for his breakfast show he does on Five Live with Rachel Burden.
02:34I mean, he became a father for the first time, but he won a Radio Academy Gold Award, which is a big, big deal.
02:40Honestly, life-changing, absolutely.
02:43I mean, I'm not getting much sleep, because obviously I have the trophy in the bed with me, and it's massive.
02:49But it's honestly, I mean, I don't really like to talk about it too much, but I'm glad you brought it up.
02:52The weird thing is about those Radio Academy Gold Awards.
02:55Oh, you've won one, have you?
02:56Five.
02:57But the thing is, they don't do much, those awards for the first two years, but after that, they're an absolute delight.
03:03Is he going to start talking to me?
03:05Rick, lovely to have you.
03:09You will be in the company for maybe two days, we shall see, of a delightful champion, Rachel Copley from Norwich.
03:18Did you have a good weekend, ready to go?
03:19It was a great weekend, thank you.
03:21Good stuff.
03:21You're up against Helen Sanderson from the beautiful Kendall in Cumbria, up in the Lake District.
03:26How are you?
03:27I'm good, thank you.
03:28This is a strange thing to say to somebody, but you're a woman of the water, tell me a bit.
03:32Well, a few years back when I did the Great North swim on Windermere, my dad took the rowing boat over to the halfway mark,
03:41and bearing in mind, before we started, you have like, before your wave goes out, you have a bit of a warm-up and a talk, you know, safety talk,
03:49and the safety talk really kind of concentrated on the fact that if anything was wrong at all, you put your hand up,
03:56and as I'm swimming along, not very well, I have to say, I saw Dad in the distance, and of course, what did I do?
04:05Dad!
04:06Yeah, I waved at Dad, and I was surrounded by canoes.
04:10I love that.
04:11Oh, yeah.
04:12Well, let's end at the deep end for you.
04:14Yeah, definitely.
04:16Helen and Rachel, good luck.
04:20Off we go.

07:20It's actually dog's tail.
07:22Um, it's a grass with spiky flower heads,
07:24but you have to have the S in it.

12:34Flawed. Flawed. Flawed. Flawed.
12:38Yeah, that one.
12:40I'm flawed in how I pronounce floored.
12:43And we look one second into that, we give each other the look,
12:47cos that's our word in a way, isn't it? It is. We love pootling.
12:51Do we like footling as well?
12:53You'd have to tell me what it meant first.
12:55It just means messing about, really. Yeah, we definitely like doing that.
12:59Rick, really good, strong rounds today. Probably not a nine, is there?
13:04No, a torpedo. It's quite a nice seven, isn't it?

13:58It wasn't much going on with you two, I'm assuming you've got it.
14:05Helen?
14:06No, I'm afraid I had a complete blank.
14:08Oh, so it was the opposite.
14:09Yeah, it was, yeah.
14:10Just blanked.
14:12Rachel?
14:13840.
14:13Off you go.
14:1575 plus 9 is 84.
14:1784.
14:186 plus 4 is 10.
14:19Yep.
14:20Times it.
14:21If it's any consolation, I often miss the ones where you just have to times it by 10.
14:24840.
14:25Yay, well done.
14:28Let's head to Dictionary Corner, have a chat with Rick Edwards,
14:31and I'm guessing we're going to hear all about fatherhood.
14:34Yeah, I mean, actually, I'm fuming that I didn't get the numbers.
14:38That's really, oh, God, that's frustrating, isn't it?
14:40I'm just warming up, I'm warming up, it's going to be OK.
14:42No, but I love that about you in Dictionary Corner,
14:44you play like you're the champion of the challenger,
14:47and that's what I used to do, sit there, I loved every minute of it.
14:49Of course.
14:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:51Yeah, to be honest, I don't really like talking about being a dad that much,
14:56because I think it's like, it's a little bit naff, isn't it?
15:00And then I remembered how much you would hate hearing me talk about it,
15:04and I thought, well, I will, I'll make an exception for you, Colin.
15:07I just want to make it clear, I love it.
15:09You know, it makes me all warm and fuzzy.
15:11No, it doesn't.
15:12But the point is, you know when somebody talks about it like,
15:15there's no-one's ever had a kid?
15:17Yeah.
15:17That's the bit, you know, you have to, look, look what they're doing,
15:20they're eating.
15:21Yeah, it's like, yeah, we're constantly conquering new frontiers here.
15:24Like, this kid's got a tooth.
15:27I had dinner.
15:29Nobody Instagrammed that.
15:31Somebody might have done, you just don't know about it.
15:34But, I mean, genuinely, it is like an amazing combination of the best thing
15:38and worst thing that could ever happen to you.
15:40Yeah.
15:41And I don't think I'd quite prepared myself for that.
15:44So it's brilliant, and I'm also sort of beyond tired.
15:48I'm just like a husk of a man.
15:50And also I do an early radio show, so it's all sort of combining
15:53to create quite an unusual sensation in my head
15:58where I constantly feel sort of jet-lagged but happy.
16:00I think you'd like it.
16:02I'd love to know whether you had a boy or a girl, or any...
16:04You know, I'd like a little bit of detail.
16:06Let me have a bit of privacy, please.
16:08What's wrong with you?
16:11I'm happy to say it is a boy.
16:13Is he looking like a daddy's boy or a mummy's boy with Eamon?
16:17So, well, the key thing is,
16:20he looks absolutely nothing like me.
16:22Oh, praise the Lord.
16:25To the extent that I have to dig out baby photos of myself at my mum's house.
16:30And I, to be clear, I was a hideous baby.
16:32And luckily this guy is not hideous,
16:34but he looks exactly like Eamon.
16:35Exactly like her.
16:37Great team.
16:38Which is actually, yeah, better.
16:40Way better.
16:40On the whole, yeah.
16:41Way better.
16:42Yeah.
16:42So tomorrow we'll maybe get some news on the eating patterns
16:47and the sleeping patterns.
16:48Wednesday, we can talk about the fact he wears clothes.
16:51He's got two teeth.
16:54So if he gets another one by tomorrow,
16:56you'll definitely hear him like that.
16:57And I know I'll hear about it as well.
16:59I love it.
17:00Let's in.
17:00Congratulations.
17:01Thank you, Mick.
17:06OK, what are we on?
17:07We're on the letters and Rachel Copley going for a seventh win.
17:11Consonant, please, Rachel.
17:12Thank you, Rach.
17:12Here we go.
17:54Pen's dying, Rachel.
18:11Risky eight.
18:12Oh, and Helen.
18:13Really risky six.
18:16Right, what's a really risky six?
18:19Swined.
18:21Swined.
18:22And Rachel, the risky eight?
18:24Anodisers?
18:25Yeah, not risky at all.
18:26Good countdown word, that one.
18:28It's to just cover metal with a protective oxide layer.
18:31Swined, however, sadly not in, I'm afraid.
18:34Eight points for our six-time champion, Mr Edwards.
18:39Obviously, it wouldn't be a lark, so it'd be capitalised,
18:41but you're a football fan, so you're like Windass.
18:43Oh, Windass is there. Fantastic.
18:45Dean Windass, Hull legend.
18:47More letters now from Helen, who is still just 13 points behind.
18:53So, off we go.
18:53Could I have a consonant, please?
18:56Thank you, Helen.
18:57R.
18:57And another.

19:58Right, OK, what's the word, Sal?

20:02Group.
20:02Group, there you go.
20:03Have a look.
20:05So, yeah, really difficult.
20:07How did you get on?
20:08Yeah, badly.
20:09I got group as well.
20:10I've always put off one.
20:11As soon as I see a J, I just, I don't like it.
20:13Anything?
20:14Yeah, there is a lovely seven there.
20:16Gopuram, which in southern India is a large tower over the entrance to
20:21a temple precinct, and it's from the Sanskrit for Eye of the City.
20:25Beautiful.
20:26Right, numbers, our third numbers round of the day.
20:29First two have been fairly eventful.
20:32Rich, let's have another one.
20:33As predicted, we'll have the usual, please.
20:35Thank you, H1 from the top row, five from the other rebel,
20:38and the five little ones are three, one, seven, ten, five,
20:45and the big one, 75, and your target to reach 435.
20:49435, numbers up.
20:51535, numbers up.
21:04435, I'm taking nothing for granted, Rach.
21:24435, not quite written down.
21:26OK, and Helen?
21:27Nothing written down, I'm afraid.
21:28I'm blanked again, yeah.
21:29No worries.
21:30Me and you should just have a wee chat during the numbers, right?
21:32I think so.
21:32All the time.
21:33Right, off you go, not written down.
21:357 minus 1 is 6.
21:37Yep.
21:38Times 75 is 450.
21:40It is.
21:41Minus 10 and 5.
21:42Well done, another 10 points on the numbers.
21:46This is just like Friday's show, the numbers are absolutely saying
21:50our champion through, Rachael.

23:58You know, you were so despondent.
23:59Oh, I've just got this.
24:00You pick up the points.
24:01Fantastic.
24:02We could have done with an I in there or an A in there.
24:05It would have opened up all sorts of words.
24:07Different letters would have been great, yeah.
24:08Yeah, different letters would have been great, unless your name's Rachel Riley.
24:11That's an easy one of them hiding in there.

25:22And Helen?
25:23Six.
25:24The six?
25:25Skimpy.
25:25What's the seven?
25:26Risky.
25:27Podiums.
25:28Podiums?
25:29Yes, risky in that you think it might be podia.
25:31It's actually both. Both are in the dictionary, so...
25:33What have we got in the dictionary corner?
25:35No advance on podiums, I think.
25:37Well, listen, I'll stay exactly where I am for origins of words.
25:40I loved last week, wonions and siestas and numbers and words.
25:46What's the plans, Dan?
25:48More animals today, because I was telling you about goats
25:52and the way they caper through our vocabulary.
25:54I'm going to go to horses now.
25:56And the vocabulary of horses I've always found really interesting.
25:58I love the fact that horses canter,
26:01because this was the supposedly leisurely pace
26:03that pilgrims would take on their horses on the way to Canterbury
26:06to visit the shrine of Thomas of Beckett.
26:08But horses themselves, when we ride roughshod over someone,
26:12we are looking back to the rough shoes of a horse
26:16when sort of nails of its shoes would project
26:18to give it a firmer footing on possibly muddy ground.
26:21But, of course, if we ride roughshod over everybody,
26:23it's going to be a pretty painful process.
26:26When we get hitched, when we get married,
26:28that looks back very simply to tying horses to wagons
26:31and then was, you know, transferred over to two people.
26:35We have, you know, we talk about being back in the saddle.
26:38We talk about being full of beans,
26:40and that originated with the feed that was often given to horses
26:43to make them a little bit frisky.
26:45They would add beans to their oats, and that was the effect.
26:49Famously, we never look a gift horse in the mouth,
26:51and that's because we don't want to look at its teeth,
26:53because if somebody gifts you a horse
26:55and then you look at its teeth to assess its age,
26:58that would be considered very...
27:00You're looking very puzzled.
27:01That would be considered very rude indeed.
27:03Really?
27:03Because horses' teeth, they...
27:05The gums recede as they get older, much like humans,
27:07and so their teeth look longer,
27:09so you might be long in the tooth.
27:12Same thing.
27:13And I love the word that I'm never going to use in real life.
27:17Hypanthropy.
27:18Not sure you'll be able to get this.
27:20Hypanthropy is the delusional belief that one is a horse.
27:24So I'll leave you with that one.
27:25That's lovely.
27:26APPLAUSE
27:27Right, at 72, 48, a little bit of a comfort zone,
27:33but not done yet by any stretch of the imagination.
27:36Helen, four rounds left.
27:38Let's do it and get some more letters.

28:56Oh, yeah. So I'm starting to read books about weaning.

30:37just a lovely word to get. So I'm glad you both got it.
30:39And seven points each. Now that seals the deal for Rachel
30:42and a seventh win. Well, it's been another really tough day
30:44at the Countdown office for you. But Helen, let's see what we can do
30:47because the numbers have been your downfall today.
30:50You're picking these ones. Let's get ten points. Come on.
30:53Yeah. Could I have three large wins, Rachel? Yes.
30:55Who can indeed? You're not going for an easy one.
30:57You're going for a challenge. I can't do it anyway.
30:59Three large, three little. It might work. Let's see. Come on, Helen.
31:02The little ones. Four, one, ten. You've got to have hope.
31:06And the big ones. Fifty. Seventy-five and twenty-five.
31:11And the target. Seven hundred and eighty-four.

31:58away and she's brilliant at the numbers of you go rich 75 plus 479 yeah times
32:0510 790 90 minus one minus one yep five away I'm two away just so you know
32:12Copley I got closer than you 7 8 4 well because it involves dancing by 10 I
32:18almost missed it but if you say 50 divided by 25 is 2 add 1 is 3 add 75 and
32:2778 times 10 780 and add the 4 784 goodness me but those seven points reach
32:37really important because here you are again flirting with the ton with the
32:41century you're on 92 so be nice to take you over that Helen 61 is a great score
