00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Wednesday afternoon.
00:34Hopefully you've got quite a lazy afternoon and that's why you're watching.
00:38But maybe you're putting something off, cutting the grass, popping to the shop, washing the car.
00:44Well, you shouldn't because today is, Rachel, officially, Fight Procrastination Day.
00:49Although I want everyone to ignore it because I want you to stay tuned at the Countdown.
00:53Where are you in the procrastination scale?
00:56Oh, I'm amazing at it. I'm the best.
01:00Yeah.
01:00I've got currently over 3,000 unread emails.
01:04I just gave up with child two.
01:06I just didn't have the time.
01:07You just, something has to go.
01:09Like, you have to keep the kids alive, you have to feed them, you have to put them to bed.
01:12By the time they're all in bed, it's at least 10 o'clock.
01:15And you have to tidy up, get food ready for the next day.
01:17And the last thing I want to do is spend the rest of the, you know, the hour or so that I've got awake on my phone.
01:22And that's the thing that's gone.
01:24WhatsApps, emails, apologies to everyone I've ever met.
01:27I can't, I don't have the time at the moment.
01:29It's a weird thing.
01:30There's a serious side to it because it affects our mental and physical health.
01:35If we're putting off big things, you know, the stress of, say, phoning an energy company to sort out payments and all that.
01:43So it's a very serious side to it.
01:44The less serious side to it is I think it goes back to school.
01:48Did you do your homework?
01:49Like, so when you got your homework on a Monday for Friday, right, and that was the next time you had, say, chemistry.
01:55Did you do the homework on the Monday?
01:57Did you do it on the Thursday?
01:59Or did you do it on the Friday on the way to school on the bus?
02:01I was a last minute merchant, but it was always, it would always be in on time.
02:04I think it's easy to do the easy jobs.
02:07Yeah.
02:07If you have a whole list of things and there's one really easy thing, you can tick a whole job off.
02:11It's that thing that you have to think about and it's got moving parts and you have to spend some time to deconstruct it is the thing that I put off.
02:17Yes, 100% where we're cut from the same cloth.
02:20I'll always get it done and do it well, but I just don't know how to do anything before the 11th hour.
02:26Yeah.
02:26Well, happy procrastination day.
02:28Yes.
02:29It's actually fight procrastination day, but let's change it.
02:31Oh, no.
02:32We change it.
02:32Embrace it.
02:33Let's embrace it.
02:34Happy procrastination day, everybody.
02:36Well, listen, with this show, there's no procrastinating.
02:38We stay on time.
02:3915 rounds are all timed at 30 seconds each.
02:42We are never late because we cannot be.
02:44So let's race over to Dictionary Corner and keeping everything motoring along.
02:48On schedule, of course, is our J the D, Susie Dent, and we love having with us the presenter and the author, Rick Edwards.
02:54APPLAUSE
02:55Should mention, of course, you do the breakfast show on Five Live.
03:01But it says here that you're also the new host of a show called Fighting Talk.
03:06I mean, I haven't heard of it.
03:07I mean, I have no idea.
03:09We need to talk about this.
03:09I don't know if you want to do it now, but we should talk about it at some point.
03:13Yeah, let's talk about it later.
03:14Yeah.
03:14OK.
03:15Excellent.
03:15Excellent.
03:16Right.
03:16Our new champion, Talha Modak, the party pooper.
03:20Spoiled Rachel's party yesterday.
03:22She was hoping to become an Octo-Champ.
03:24But Talha, delightful to have you back, mate.
03:27You're just a first-year student.
03:29So tell me about what you're studying, what your hopes and dreams are.
03:32I'm currently studying maths and computer science, which is really relevant to what we're doing right now.
03:37Yeah.
03:38I haven't really decided what to do in the future.
03:41Maybe something that is like a bridge between maths and computer science.
03:47That would be a good idea considering you're studying maths and computer science.
03:50Seems to me like you're in the right ballpark, I'm afraid.
03:53Well, we've got a little IT connection because Martin Byrne from Crawley, originally a Surrey boy, is our challenger today.
04:01Is that roughly what you work in?
04:03Yes, I work in IT in schools.
04:04Now, listen, we've got a bit of a family beef here because it's an immensely competitive countdown.
04:11So was it three younger sisters?
04:13Yes.
04:14Right.
04:14So you all play together?
04:16Yes.
04:16And board games, we would be very competitive.
04:19And because I'm the only boy, I was the oldest, then they would really enjoy beating me.
04:24But listen, I just want to make the point.
04:25Three younger sisters, have any of them applied to be on countdown?
04:29Not yet.
04:29Well, then they can say absolutely nothing to you because you actually bothered to send the email.
04:33So, well, you went already, as far as I'm concerned.
04:36Martin and Talha, good luck.
04:40Talha, off we go.
04:41Can we start with the consonant, please?
04:43Thank you, Talha.

06:02Ah, so not in there.
06:03Sorry, Tara.
06:04Right, so nice for Martin.
06:06The safe six did the job.
06:07What was there?

12:52And fated is five. Is this what we're going for?
12:56Sorry, I declared six.
12:58Oh, I'm so sorry.
12:59We'll have to give you both fat zeros for that, which means it's an open goal for you, Rick.

13:08Boated. Boated is there.
13:10Yeah, moated, foamed.
13:12Stuff like that. Slim pickings.
13:14Yeah, it was indeed, but there you go.

15:21ratings so it's kind of the way Johnny Vaughan yeah Johnny Vaughan's who we remember but I I wanted
15:27to sort of you know I never want to be the person that stays too long in a job except for this one
15:32they will claw this one out of my cold dead hands let me tell you it's as simple as that but but also
15:37I didn't this is the first time we've genuinely the first time we've spoken about it yeah because I
15:41wasn't sure what to say to you about it I wanted to message you and be like oh I think I'm gonna do

23:25or organisms that have sort of tiny, feathery appearances.
23:29OK. Birds?
23:30I'm not sure if it's animal. Maybe.

25:06Well done. Listen, Martin, look at that.
25:09What a performance so far.
25:11It's a good time to put a play out to sisters everywhere and brothers
25:15to actually apply to come on Countdown.
25:16There's nothing to fear at all.
25:18It's Countdown at Channel 4.com.
25:20Countdown at Channel 4.com.
25:22The application process is really that simple.
25:24You just send an email to somebody very nice here
25:26and we take it from there.
25:28And also, if you have anything you would like, Susie,
25:31to investigate our word detective for Origins of Words,
25:34you can email Countdown at Channel 4.com as well.
25:37And that's what we're going to do now.
25:38Yeah, that's exactly what Pauline Deeming did.
25:41Actually, I'm going to try and answer two viewers' questions today.
25:44A bit of a whirlwind.
25:45Pauline asks, first of all, why?
25:48Are there three different meanings to the word contract or contract?
25:52So, is there any connection, she asks, between an agreement between parties,
25:56a contract, to be made smaller as it contracts in the cold,
26:00or to catch a disease, as in she contracted flu?
26:03Really good question.
26:04And it goes back to an incredibly productive word in Latin for the Romans,
26:09which was trahere, which means to pull or to draw.
26:13And you can see that in lots of descendants of that word.
26:16So, you train goes back to that, for example, because the train pulls you along if you are riding on it.
26:22Or if you are training for a sport, your trainer will be sort of pulling you along in an attempt to improve you.
26:28And when it comes to contract, you have a contract between parties, which draws them together.
26:34You are drawing in on yourself when you are contracting or something is contracting with the cold.
26:39And you draw a disease to yourself, unfortunately, when you contract it.
26:45So, although they seem quite far apart, they actually are all to do with that idea of drawing.
26:49There's lots and lots of different descendants of that trahere in Latin.
26:53You have attractor, which pulls things along.
26:56You have extract, which meant to draw out.
26:58You have a trail.
26:59You have lots and lots of different words that all go back to that one.
27:03So, I love that.
27:04And it's a great question.
27:04Then Clive, didn't have a surname, but Clive asked, why do we talk about things going like a house on fire?
27:11Fairly obvious metaphor, you might say.
27:14It just means to progress rapidly and successfully.
27:17So, if a house does catch fire, then there is a conflagration very quickly.
27:20I'm sorry.
27:20But what's interesting to me in this one is that the first record is from Washington,
27:25Washington Irving, in his history of New York, 1809.
27:29At it, they went like 500 houses on fire.
27:32Not sure who was going at what, but that was the first record.
27:36And Washington Irving famously gave us knickers, because he introduced, in the same history of New York,
27:42a character called Diedrich Knickerbocker.
27:44And he was the main protagonist.
27:48And he borrowed that name from his friend, Herman Knickerbocker, because he would pronounce the K in German,
27:53which means toy marble maker.
27:55But because in this history of New York there was some wonderful illustrations of these Dutch descendants,
28:00because that was the original meaning of Knickerbocker, these Dutch descendants wearing these quite fanciful breeches.
28:06And the name was ultimately applied to those breeches and then ultimately to the knickers that women wear today.
28:12So, I love the idea that the knickers that we wear are actually somehow related to a toy marble maker somewhere down the line.
28:19Great questions, both. I really enjoyed investigating.
28:21Love it.
28:23Right, just two points in it.
28:25Tal had gone for a second win.
