00:00Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio, and I suppose it's that time of year.
00:04We're approaching the peak of the flying season.
00:08People are all planning their holidays now, where they're going to fly off to.
00:12And of course, well, if we cast our minds back far enough, it was way back, 150 years ago, in fact, in 1867,
00:19that the American Wilbur Wright was born.
00:22And he, of course, and his brother Orville were credited with having the first powered and sustained flight.
00:28And it was a pretty short flight, but enough to give them the title.
00:32But, of course, some people actually dread flying.
00:35You're a frequent flyer. You're not bothered?
00:37Yeah, not particularly. I think as you get older, you get a bit more scared of things in general.
00:42But Paul Merson, who I work with on Sky, he's scared of flying as well.
00:46Really?
00:46And I think that's got worse as he's got older, yeah, because he used to fly around when he was playing for Arsenal.
00:50He didn't enjoy it, but now I think he forces himself once a year.
00:53But other than that, yeah.
00:55Fear of flying.
00:56Fear of flying.
00:56Not that uncommon, I think.
00:58All right.
00:59What about fear of countdown?
01:00I know somebody who's not bothered about turning up on countdown day after day.
01:05That's Birkan Celican, computer sciences student from Bexley, building up a great head of steam there.
01:12Excellent stuff.
01:13You've got four wins so far.
01:16Well done.
01:16The Quiet Assassin.
01:17And you're joined by Nick Smith.
01:19Nick, watch this one.
01:20Doesn't say much, but he's quite good.
01:22You're a publisher and author from Fifield in Oxfordshire, lovely part of the world.
01:27And you recently published a novel entitled Drowned Hog Day.
01:31Now, what's that about?
01:33Well, it's a mixture of fiction and history.
01:36The fiction's in the present day.
01:37The history is about some of the events of 1816 and 1916, involving such famous people as Shelley and Rasputin.
01:48Well, a big welcome to you, Nick, and to Birkan.
01:51Let's have a big round of applause for today's contestants.
01:56And Susie's over there.
01:57Susie's there.
01:58And talking of flying early, he's got an interesting tale on the subject.
02:02Tell us later.
02:03He's not on the farm today.
02:05He's here.
02:05It's Adam Henson.
02:06Welcome back, Adam.
02:07So, Birkan, let's get down to business.
02:14Let's have a letters game, shall we?
02:16Hi, Rachel.
02:17Hi, Birkan.
02:17Can I have a consonant, please?
02:19Start today with Z.
02:22A vowel.
02:24I.
02:25A vowel.
02:27E.
02:27And lastly, L.
02:54And here's the countdown clock.
02:57Birkan.
03:27A six.
03:28A six, Nick?
03:29Seven.
03:30And a seven.
03:32Birkan.
03:32Tidier.
03:34Now, Nick.
03:35Ditsier.
03:37Ditsier.
03:38A good word.
03:39Absolutely fine.
03:41Yes, you can spell it with the S or the Z, but ditsier is fine.
03:43Well done.
03:44That's an American, yeah?
03:45Ditsy.
03:46Yeah.
03:46What does it mean?
03:47Silly, giddy.
03:48Scatterbrained.
03:49Scatterbrained.
03:49Yes.
03:50Ditsy.
03:51Well, that's a good one to kick off with, Nick.
03:54And in the corner, Adam?
03:56We had tendril, which is seven.
03:58Yep.
03:59Yep.
04:00And also nitrile for seven, an organic compound containing a cyanide group.
04:05Ah, that'll work.
04:06So, Birkan, you had to score.
04:09Nick on seven, and we look to you, Nick, for your letters game.
04:13Consonant, please, Rachel.
04:14Thank you, Nick.

05:32Nick, visage, Burkhan.
05:35Images.
05:36Images.
05:39Visage and images.
05:41Adam and Susie?
05:42Yeah, that was a tough one, wasn't it?
05:43Images is what I had.
05:45What else have we got?
05:46There is, we usually use this in the present tense,
05:49but there's the past tense of misgive, misgave,
05:52which would give you seven.
05:54It's to be filled with doubt, apprehension or foreboding to misgive.
05:58Example of the past tense,
06:00my heart misgave me when I saw him.
06:02All right.
06:03Thirteen plays six, and it's Burkhan's numbers game.
06:07Burkhan.
06:08One large five small, please.
06:09Thank you, Burkhan.
06:10One large one, five little ones, possibly keeping it simple.

06:19Another five and 75.
06:20And the target, three hundred and forty-one.

11:21Now, in the corner, Adam and Susie.
11:23Well, we've got Perd over here.
11:25Not as good as Ruptured, though.
11:27And Susie.
11:27Really good eight.
11:28There's a six there.
11:29I don't think there are blackberries on your farm, Adam, but Drupal.
11:31D-R-U-P-E-L.
11:33One of the small individual segments that you'll find on a blackberry or a raspberry.
11:37Yes, yes.
11:38All right.
11:38That's a Drupal.
11:4038, please.
11:4121.
11:42And it's Nick's first numbers game.
11:44Nick.
11:45Four big ones and two little ones, please.
11:47Thank you, Nick.
11:48Four large, two little.
11:49Not had this for a while.
11:50Let's see what we have.
11:51Two small ones are four and seven.
11:54And then the big ones, 50, 25, 100, 75.
12:01And the target, 731.
12:037-3-1.
12:18Yes, Nick.
12:37732.
12:39One away, and Birkan?
12:41731.
12:42731.
12:43So?
12:44104.
12:46104.
12:47Times 7.
12:49728.
12:50Then 75 divided by 25 is 3.
12:53Yep, and made up to ground.
12:54Well done.
12:55731.
12:56Well done, indeed.
13:00Very good, indeed.
13:02And now we link with the score standing, actually.
13:04Birkan suddenly shot up.
13:0531 to Nick's 38.
13:07We turn to Adam.
13:08And, Adam, we were talking earlier on about flying,
13:12the fear of flying and so forth,
13:14and I think that you have a tale to tell.
13:17Yes, I was working on a programme called Secret Britain a few years ago
13:21with the lovely Ellie Harrison,
13:22and we were up at Sutton Bank,
13:24and one of the secrets of the skies is understanding where the air rises
13:28so you can glide in them when you're using the gliders.
13:31And I was really excited about going up in a glider,
13:34but Ellie Harrison was terrified, didn't want to go up in it at all.
13:37And before we went in, we were told a bit of a briefing,
13:42and we were wearing parachutes, and the pilot said to me,
13:44right, you'll be in front of me in the glider.
13:47If we get into trouble and another glider clips or a tail fin
13:50or something like that because you can't hear the engines coming,
13:53you need to push the lever forward, the canopy will come off,
13:55I'll tip the glider upside down, pull your seatbelt off,
13:59fall out, as you're falling out, pull the ripcord on the parachute
14:02and you'll float down, which I thought, well, this will never happen,
14:05and I'm sure we'll be absolutely fine.
14:07And I loved it, and I had a fantastic time in the glider
14:10and did a loop-the-loop.
14:12And then when we landed and we went into the clubhouse,
14:14and I realised why Ellie Harrison was so terrified,
14:17because the week before, there'd been someone up in a glider
14:19and they'd been hit by another one and had to bail out,
14:24parachuted down into a field where a combine harvester was working,
14:28and he landed just in front of the combine harvester,
14:30and the farmer had his wits about him and managed to stop the combine
14:33just in time before this man got eaten.
14:36So that's why Ellie was absolutely terrified.
14:38Blas completely blasé, I thought it'd be fine.
14:39Which it was, it was lovely.
14:41In the event it was, what a terrifying thought, though.
14:44But being in a glider was absolutely wonderful.
14:47It was the most amazing experience.
14:49Strongly recommend it.
14:50Well, I hope Ellie's got over all that nervousness.
14:55Oh, dear.
14:56Now, what shall we do?
14:57Birkham, let us game?
14:59Could I have a consonant, please?
15:01Thank you, Birkham.
15:03N
15:03And another consonant?

16:20Can we beat nudge?
16:22Nudge, nudge.
16:23Well, it was a tricky one, wasn't it?
16:24I'm afraid the only one I had, Nick, was gonad.
16:27Gonad.
16:28Yeah, you couldn't pluralise that, I suppose, did you?
16:31Yeah, you could do, but not here.
16:32No, it's a six, that agenda.
16:36Agenda.
16:36Yeah.
16:37Thank you very much.
16:37Well done.

18:00Seven.
18:01Nick.
18:01Turbine.
18:02Turbine and?
18:04Turbine.
18:04Two turbines.
18:07Twin turbos and Adam and Susie.
18:10And you can change that around and have Tribune as well for seven
18:13and also Vitrine from the French.
18:16It's a glass display case rather than a shop window.
18:18Vitrine, yeah.
18:20All right.
18:2150 plays 38 and Birkin, numbers have come round for you.
18:27Could I have six more, please?
18:29You can indeed.
18:30We've had four large, now we've got six small.
18:32It's a good contest.
18:33Right, for this challenge they are three, two, four, two, ten and nine.
18:42And the target, 924.
18:45924.
18:51924.
19:05924.
19:13924.
19:14924.
19:14Burkhan?
19:189.20.
19:199.24 away.
19:21Nick?
19:22I haven't got it, no.
19:24No?
19:25So, Burkhan, down to you.
19:28I did three times two.
19:30Three times two is six.
19:32Add four.
19:33Add four for ten.
19:36Times nine.
19:3790.
19:38Add two is 92.
19:39And the other two, 92.
19:41And then times it by ten.
19:42Yep, four away.
19:43900.
19:44120.
19:45A good shot at it.
19:46But 9.24, Rachel, can you deal with this for us?
19:50Yes.
19:53If you say ten plus two, that was me thinking, that was the cogs turning, is 12.
19:59Four plus three is seven.
20:01Times them together for 84.
20:04And then nine plus the other two is 11 and times them together.
20:08Oh, well done.
20:08Well done, Rachel.
20:12Well done.
20:13So, Burkhan, only five adrift, 45 to Nick's 50.
20:17As we turn to our second Tea Time teaser, which is like Metro and the clue.
20:22He didn't like to take the Metro, so he walked, but it wasn't too far.
20:26He didn't like to take the Metro, so he walked.
20:28And the answer to that one, it was only a kilometer, kilometer, or kilometer.
20:46Welcome back.
20:47After the clue, he didn't like to take the Metro, so he walked, but it wasn't too far.
20:52And the answer to that one, it was only a kilometer, kilometer, or kilometer, kilometer.
20:5945 plays 50.

22:21And your six?
22:22Foiler.
22:23Thank you, Burkhan and Nick.
22:26Folkier.
22:27Folkier.
22:28Yeah, I've had to check that one, but actually folky can be used in the same way as folksy,
22:32so sort of quite traditional but in a slightly artificial way.
22:36Got it. Folkier.
22:37All right.
22:38Now, Adam and Susie?
22:40Adam?
22:41No, I couldn't do any better than that. Struggled on that one, I'm afraid.
22:44And I'm afraid to say four-wheeler isn't in Birkin, so couldn't do, no can do on that one.
22:49All right. Thank you very much.
22:51So, 57 days now, 45. Birkin on 45 and it's Birkin's Letters game. Good luck.
22:58Could I have a consonant, please?
22:59Thank you, Birkin.
23:01W.
23:02And another?

23:33Countdown.
23:35Countdown.
24:05Birkhan?
24:07Seven.
24:08A seven. Nick?
24:09Six.
24:10And you're six.
24:12Sewing.
24:14Birkhan?
24:15Lingers.
24:17Lingers.
24:18Are we happy there, Susie?
24:20Yes, absolutely fine with this.
24:21All right.
24:22Adam?
24:23Susie?
24:24There is an eight there.
24:25Probably tread carefully with this one.
24:27Newsgirl.
24:29Not sure you would use that much these days.
24:31Female news reporter or journalist?
24:33Newsgirl, no.
24:35I would think that's probably on its way out.
24:40I would think so, too.
24:41All right.
24:42Yeah.
24:42I'll tell you what's not out is Birkhan,
24:44who's now only five points away again,
24:4752 to Nick's 57.
24:49Shall we give them a rest as we turn to Susie
24:51and your origins of words?
24:53Susie?
24:54Well, I was going to mention a word that I touched on recently,
24:59which was to be at loggerheads with somebody.
25:02Because I was actually asked, I remember the audience,
25:04where the idea of a blockhead comes from,
25:06so somebody who's a complete and utter fool.
25:08And the idea is very simple.
25:10It is that somebody's behaving as though their head was literally made of wood.
25:14And that was the original meaning of loggerhead as well,
25:17because a logger was a big wooden block that was used to,
25:20not to hobble horses, but to stop them from roaming.
25:23So it would be just, they would be chained to this block of wood
25:26and not be able to go anywhere.
25:27Goats also, these loggers were used for them.
25:31But of course, most of us think of the expression at loggerheads
25:35when we use that word.
25:37So to be in sort of fearsome debate, if you like,
25:40or not very happy with somebody.
25:42And that goes back to the use of loggerheads for an implement
25:45that had long handle, it was poker-like in shape,
25:50had iron bulbs or balls at the end,
25:52and it was used to heat up tar.
25:55These, in maritime battles, were used to actually throw hot tar at the enemy.
25:58So not very nice to be on the receiving end of that.
26:01They were also used in more domestic settings,
26:03because hot broths or possets were kept simmering on an open fire,
26:08and this poker-like instrument, this loggerhead,
26:10would be used to stir the mixture and to keep it bubbling away.
26:13And perhaps if somebody had had one too many,
26:17either from that particular posset if alcohol was concerned,
26:19or at the local pub,
26:20they might actually wield one of these loggerheads against somebody,
26:24and perhaps that's where the expression at loggerheads comes from.
26:27So good.
26:28APPLAUSE
26:29Very good.
26:33James, brilliant.
26:35Brilliant.
26:3657 plays 52.
26:38Nick on 57, and it's Nick's letters game.
26:41Nick.
26:43Consonant, please.
26:44Thank you, Nick.
26:45Y.
26:47And a vowel.

27:19Countdown.
27:20MUSIC PLAYS
27:22Yes, Nick?
27:51Eight.
27:52An eight.
27:54Berkan?
27:54Seven.
27:55Your seven?
27:56Details.
27:57No, then, Nick.
27:59Steadily.
28:01Steadily.
28:02Very good.
28:03Excellent.
28:04APPLAUSE
28:05My contest is.
28:08Adam.
28:09I was struggling on that one, Susie.
28:11Where did we get to?
28:12Well, Steadily is excellent.
28:13Isolated is also there for eight.
28:16And there's diastole as well.
28:18We talk about the diastolic and systolic blood pressure.
28:22Oh, yes.
28:22And the heart rate.
28:23The diastole is the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and the chambers fill with blood.
28:27Let's hope that keeps being the case.
28:3165 to 52.
28:33Nick on 65.
28:34And it's Berkan's final letter game.

29:14Stand by.
29:32B.
29:32Birkham.
29:47Risky eight.
29:49Eight and Nick.
29:51Six.
29:52You're six.
29:54Bethos.
29:55Now then, Birkham, how much of a risk is this?
29:58Bastions.
29:59Yes, absolutely brilliant.
30:01Yep, in the dictionary.
30:02Bastions there for eight.
30:03Projecting parts of a fortification built at an angle to the line of walls,
30:07so you can fire in several directions if you want to.
30:09Yes.
30:10Well done.
30:15Well done.
30:16Still five in it, though.
30:18Adam and Susie?
30:20Well, banish six, obtain seven.
30:22Did you get any eights?
30:23Astonish is another one.
30:25Astonish.
30:26Astonish.
30:26Bastion, yeah.
30:27Well done.
30:2865 to 60.
30:29Birkham on 60.
30:30Nick, it's the final numbers game.
30:32Good luck.
30:33I'll stick with the same unsuccessful tactic.
30:36Four big ones, two little ones.
30:38We'll see how that goes.
30:40Birkham's been very good with the crucial conundrum,
30:42so let's see if you can avoid one.
30:43The last numbers game is five and six,
30:46and then the big four.
30:4725, 50, 100, and 75, and your target, 721.
30:54Seven, two, one.
30:55Two, one.
31:23Nick.
31:29No, I haven't got it. Sorry.
31:32Birken? 720.
31:34Let's go.
31:36100 times 6.
31:38100 times 6, 600.
31:41Add 75 and add 50.
31:45725.
31:4675, yep.
31:46And then take off 5.
31:47Yep. One away.
31:49Well done. Well done.
31:51But let's straighten this 721 out.
31:54Rachel.
31:55Leave it with me.
31:57Certainly will.
31:59So, crucial conundrum time, chaps.
32:03Deep breath.
32:05Fingers on buzzers.
32:06Let's reveal today's crucial countdown conundrum.
32:21Nick Smith.
32:24Underwear.
32:25Underwear.
32:26Let's see whether you're right.
32:28Well done.
32:29APPLAUSE
32:30Well done, Nick.
32:37Whoa.
32:37You had a bit of a shock, though.
32:39Hmm?
32:39You led all the way.
32:40Ah, the numbers just...
32:41Burkhan came through, and then you snatched the underwear, as it were.
32:47LAUGHTER
32:47Burkhan, you did brilliantly.
32:50You had four wins, and you were terrific.
32:53A real gentleman.
32:54Thank you very much for coming.
32:56And you're going back to London with your goodie bag and your teapot with our congratulations.
33:02Well done, indeed.
33:03Thanks.
33:03And we shall see...
33:05We'll see Nick Smith tomorrow.
33:07Led all the way, then lost it, and then got it back again.
33:11Never hacking business.
33:12Certainly is.
33:12Well done.
33:13Well done.
33:14And we'll see Adam and Susie, of course, again tomorrow, as we turn to Rachel.
33:19Rachel?
33:19Yep.
33:20No homework for me tonight.
33:21If you say 75 plus 50 is 125, and then 100 divided by 25 is 4, take that away for 1,
33:312, 1.
33:32And times it by 6 for 7, 2, 6, and take away the 5 for 7, 2, 1.
33:36Oh, well done.
33:37Thank you, Rachel.
33:39Well done.
33:41Spot on, as always.
33:43Well done, Rachel.
33:44And so, we shall see you all tomorrow, same time, same place.
33:48You be sure of it.
33:48A very good afternoon.
33:49Yeah.
