00:30Hello, everybody, and welcome to television's premiere daytime TV show.
00:36And after 40 years still in a league of its own.
00:39And the only reason it's champion is because you tune in.
00:42Thank you very much.
00:43Hello in person to Rachel Riley.
00:45Hello.
00:45Hello in person to Colin.
00:47That was about Alan Partridge, wasn't it?
00:49So, obviously, at this stage of the season, it's really heating up.
00:53The Premier League's getting into its home straight.
00:56It's very exciting.
00:57I mean, not for you.
00:59But it's very exciting for some groups of fans.
01:02But if I said to you, this century, the biggest upset in Premier League,
01:06maybe actually just in Premier League history, what do you go for?
01:09Well, it has to be Leicester winning the Premier League, isn't it?
01:12Who would have thought of that before they did it?
01:14And they didn't have to wait because they sealed the deal on this day in 2016.
01:18The ultimate underdogs, weren't they?
01:20That's a club that's had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows
01:22over the last decade and more.
01:24But winning the Premier League 2016, I think, you know, everyone was a Leicester fan for one day, weren't they?
01:30Brilliant stuff.
01:31Well, listen, will we have a new champion when it's time to say goodbye?
01:34We will find out.
01:35But first of all, let's say hello again, of course, to our Susie Dent.
01:39Hello.
01:39The Cider all week, of course, with a look at this waistcoat.
01:42Turn the brightness down on your television.
01:45It's snooker legend John Virgo.
01:50All right, well, listen, no joke when it comes to Charlotte Robson, eh?
01:53Six wins so far for a 16-year-old for me, Sussex.
01:56Welcome back, you.
01:57Hi.
01:58Ellie Jones is who you're up against today, living in Nottingham,
02:01originally from Devon.
02:03Welcome to the programme.
02:04Hi, Colin.
02:04Excellent.
02:05We'll just try and keep you in your seat because you're a proper dance edge.
02:08You'd rather be raving than doing quizzes, right?
02:11Yeah, sure.
02:12And it's in your blood because you were previously a performing arts teacher.
02:16Now, don't burst our illusions.
02:18Please tell me it's like fame and people just get up in the class
02:21and top of the tables and start singing.
02:23Oh, yeah, we put on shows all the time, yeah.
02:25Well, listen, let's see if you put a foot wrong here.
02:27Listen, 15 rounds, everybody does.
02:29Everybody does.
02:30Ellie and Charlotte, good luck.
02:35Charlotte, your first move is to pick some letters.
02:38Good afternoon, Rachel.
02:39Good afternoon, Charlotte.
02:40Can we start with a consonant, please?
02:42Start today with T.
02:44And a second one, please.
02:46S.
02:47And a third.
02:49N.
02:50And one more.
02:52G.
02:53And a vowel.
02:55I.
02:56And another.
02:57A.
02:57And one more.
03:00O.
03:01And a consonant, please.
03:04M.
03:05And finish with a consonant, please.
03:07Finish with G.
03:09At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
03:11We'll see you next time.
03:11Good afternoon.
03:13Time's up, Charlotte.
03:43I might go for a seven.
03:45Seven and Ellie.
03:46Seven.
03:47Seven.
03:48Charlotte.
03:48A bit risky.
03:49Moting.
03:50Ellie.
03:50Masting.
03:51Both using the ING, Susie.
03:53Moting, to surround somewhere with a moat is absolutely fine.
03:58Mast, obviously, they're in many senses,
04:01but in the verbal sense, quite interesting,
04:03it means to brew tea.
04:04So you're going to...
04:05Mash is another one, I'm going to mash some tea,
04:07but you can mast it as well.
04:09There you go.
04:10Moting and masting for seven points each.
04:13John Virgo.
04:14I'll be astonished if there's better than a seven.
04:16I couldn't get one.
04:18No.
04:18Could you, Susie?
04:19Just.
04:20With an eight, there is gigatons.
04:24And a gigaton is essentially a unit of explosive power
04:28equivalent to a billion tonnes of TNT.
04:31Scary.
04:31Goodness me, that is indeed gigatons.
04:33An explosive start to the show.
04:35From Dictionary Corner, at least.
04:36Seven points for Charlotte.
04:37Nelly.
04:38And Ellie, you're picking these letters.
04:40Hello, Rachel.
04:41Hi, Ellie.
04:42I'll start the consonant, please.
04:44Start with T.
04:45And another.
04:48M.
04:49And a vowel.
04:51E.
04:52And another vowel.
04:53And 30 seconds.
05:21TNT.
05:24¶¶
05:25MUSIC CONTINUES
05:55Charlotte? Just a five. Just a five. What's the five?
05:58Meals. Feels more risky now, Ellie. What is it?
06:00I know. Muttles.
06:03Muttles. How are you spelling this?
06:06M-U-T-T-L-E-S.
06:08Yeah, muttles would be there, but sadly, Ellie, not muttles.
06:12Oh, I...
06:13Five points to Charlotte. John Virgo.
06:17Has 11 breathed? What have you got?
06:18We have an eight. Stateful.
06:21Stateful. Yes, and it's actually through computing.
06:24Sounds like it's political, but it is a server
06:28that is dependent on the previous state of an application, software, etc.
06:32Thank you very much.
06:33At 12-7, Charlotte, numbers. Let's have them.
06:36I have one large and five small, please.
06:38You can indeed, thank you, Charlotte. One large one.
06:40And five little numbers.
06:42And the first game of the day maths-wise is...
06:45Ours is two, five, four, ten,
06:49another two, and a large one 100.
06:51And you need to reach 948.
06:54948. Numbers up.
06:55I have one large as you ran off.
06:57How many money will make you use?
06:58One important win at all.
06:59When will that be a joke in the ranks,
07:01we'll rally on the next set.
07:02So there's theware.
07:03How many are people who make us a natural choice?
07:06One of all those with questions are unloself.
07:09Well, there's a couple of things
07:11before we read the book,
07:12and you'll have a real personal choice.
07:13There's the belief that you can do for all those things.
07:15Well, the pioneers who won all have to do.
07:17I still can tell
07:19them them.
07:19blues than they will as well to be.
07:21And you'll see a little bit that over the time.
07:23And again...
07:239, 4, 8. Charlotte?
07:289, 4, 8. And Ellie?
07:309, 4, 8, not written down. OK, off you go first, then, Ellie.
07:34Um, 100 minus...
07:36..2 is 98.
07:39Yeah. No, I've gone totally wrong. Sorry.
07:42Not just wrong, but totally wrong. Charlotte, off you go.
07:46100 minus 5. 100 minus 5, 95.
07:49Multiply by 10. 950.
07:51Knock off the 2. That's it.
07:53Like a champion. 9, 4, 8.
07:57Let's get our first tea time teaser this Thursday afternoon.
08:00Thanks so much for tuning in.
08:02And it's Lemon Bed. Lemon Bed, which sounds amazing, by the way.
08:06Give someone courage to make certain words stand out.
08:09Give someone courage to make certain words stand out.
08:12MUSIC PLAYS
08:23Welcome back. Lemon Bed becomes emboldened.
08:30Give someone courage to make certain words stand out.
08:33And Ellie, our challenger, despite being 15 points behind,
08:37should feel emboldened.
08:38Because you had a really good first part, and it's your letters.
08:41Can I have a consonant, please?
08:42Thank you, Ellie.
08:43R
08:44And a vowel?
08:46O
08:47And a consonant?
08:49G
08:50And another consonant, please?
08:53S
08:54And a vowel?
08:56A
08:56And a final consonant, please?
09:12And a final R.
09:14Thanks, Rich.
09:14Thanks, Rich.
09:44And that's time, Ellie.
09:48Risky, eight.
09:49And Charlotte.
09:50Just a seven.
09:51Sticking with a seven, what is it?
09:52Grapier.
09:53Ellie.
09:54Graspier.
09:56Graspier.
09:57Oh, I absolutely get where you're going with that one,
09:59but you can't be graspy, sadly.
10:01Yeah.
10:02OK.
10:02What do we have, John?
10:04Couldn't beat Grapier, that's a good one, that, isn't it?
10:06Yeah.
10:07I like that.
10:07There's parries, isn't there?
10:09Parries to parry a fencing thrust.
10:13Soapier is there.
10:14You can have a grasper, just not graspier.
10:18Right, more letters, please.
10:21Charlotte.
10:22Could I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
10:23Thank you, Charlotte.
10:24T.
10:25And another.
10:27S.
10:28And a third.
10:30T.
10:31And one more.
10:33R.
10:34And a vowel.
10:35O.
10:36And another vowel.
10:38E.
10:38And one more.
10:40I.
10:41And a consonant.
10:42And?
10:44And finish with a vowel, please.
10:46Finish with U.
10:48Half a minute.
10:49Okay.
10:50And now, try to move on.
10:54MUSIC
11:20That's time, Charlotte.
11:22Stick with an eight.
11:23And Ellie.
11:24Eight.
11:25You're sticking with it, frantically counting them up there.
11:27Charlotte, what's yours?
11:29Roundest.
11:30Roundest, OK.
11:31Ellie.
11:31Roundest.
11:32OK, just show Charlotte there.
11:33We do trust you, but...
11:34Top one.
11:36Yeah.
11:37Great letters, though, great letters.
11:39Is eight the best we can do, or do we have a nine?
11:41Best I could get was an outsider, which I'm hoping for.
11:46Outsider, yes.
11:47And that's it?
11:49Yeah, it did look like there was lots of potential, but routines was an eight,
11:53but we couldn't get further than that.
11:55OK.
11:55Ellie, picking up a fantastic eight points as well as Charlotte there.
11:58And you're picking the numbers, Ellie Jones.
12:01Two large, please, Rachel.
12:03Thank you, Ellie.
12:03Two from the top row.
12:05And four little.
12:06Let's try and find another ten points in this slot.
12:09The selection is one, four, six, four, and the large two.
12:1375 and 50.
12:15And you need to reach 459.
12:19459.
12:19Numbers up.
12:20.
12:30.
12:32.
12:33.
12:39.
12:41.
12:44.
12:44.
12:45MUSIC
12:504.59 was the target. Ellie Jones?
12:534.59. Charlotte Robson?
12:54Yep, 4.59. Ellie, off you go.
12:566 times 75.
12:586.75 is 4.50.
13:004.50 plus 4 plus 4 plus 1.
13:02That's all there was to it.
13:04Well done. Charlotte?
13:05Exact same way.
13:07Yep. Well done.
13:08APPLAUSE
13:09Ten points each.
13:12Well spotted indeed. 47.25.
13:14This Thursday afternoon in the World Snooker Championship
13:17reaching its climax over the bank holiday weekend
13:19in the Monday.
13:20So what a treat to have John Virgo with us.
13:23It really is. Feels like we're part of it.
13:25So I just can't wait to see where you're going to take us today.
13:28Well, we had the 80s and that was when Steve Davis
13:31won six world titles.
13:33Yeah.
13:34And lost in two finals as well.
13:37And then you think, well, no one can better that.
13:39And then along come the 90s
13:41and to Jimmy White shagging, if you like,
13:45along came Stephen Hendry.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Who made the 90s his own,
13:49winning seven world titles.
13:52Lost in a final as well to Peter Hebden,
13:55which was a bit of a shock.
13:57But no, what a player.
13:59His temperament was just incredible.
14:02How do we judge the greatest in sport?
14:04It's always interesting, isn't it?
14:05Because we talk about longevity,
14:07which Ronnie O'Sullivan just has on another level.
14:11But then with Stephen,
14:13just that high volume of wins
14:15over a much shorter period of time.
14:17And I suppose that's always the sort of deciding factor, isn't it?
14:20It's hard to get away from the record books, really, isn't it?
14:23You know, and how many titles he've won.
14:25I mean, the thing is with Jimmy White,
14:27what I always say to him,
14:28and it's small consolation,
14:31but he will always be regarded.
14:33And he still believes he can go on and win a world title.
14:36Yeah.
14:37But he will be regarded as the best player
14:39never to have won a world title.
14:42And I don't think anyone will ever take that away from him.
14:45So that in itself is an accolade.
14:47Yeah, absolutely.
14:48And anyone who's met Jimmy knows that he's a champion
14:50in more ways than one.
14:52Everything.
14:53Great person to be around.
14:54Thank you very much, John.
14:55OK, let's get back to the game.
15:00Charlotte, we're on the letters.
15:01Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
15:03Thank you, Charlotte.
15:04D.
15:05And another.
15:07T.
15:08And another.
15:10V.
15:11And one more.
15:13T.
15:14And a vowel, please.
15:16A.
15:17And another.
15:18E.
15:19And one more.
15:20O.
15:21And a consonant.
15:23L.
15:23And finish with a vowel, please.
15:25And finish with E.
15:28And here we go again.
15:32Bye.
15:56Bye.
15:56Bye.
15:57Bye.
15:57That'll do. Pens down. Charlotte?
16:01Seven. And Ellie?
16:03Seven. Well done. Charlotte?
16:05Allotted. Allotted. And Ellie?
16:08Valleted. Valleted.
16:10Valleted is absolutely fine. And how are you spelling allotted?
16:15A-L-O-T-T-E-D. Yeah. It has to be double L.
16:20Yeah. And allotted. So there you go.
16:23Valleted is in getting your car done, right? Yeah.
16:26Always a bit pricey, that. Right. Anyway, more letters now, Ellie.
16:31You're motoring. Have a consonant, please. Thank you, Ellie.
16:34C. And another. G. And a vowel. I. And a consonant. K. And another. L. And a vowel. E.
16:51Another vowel, please. A. And a consonant. T. And another consonant, please.
17:02Lastly, D. And start that clock.
17:05So, let's get over here.
17:06Let's just ignore it from afar.
17:07How do you think about the moniker's vocabulary?
17:11MUSIC PLAYS
17:36Ellie. A six.
17:38Six from you and Charlotte. Seven.
17:39A seven there. The six is...?
17:42Licked. Licked.
17:43And the seven that licks that...?
17:45Tickled. Tickled!
17:46Hey.
17:47How do you get on Dictionary Corner?
17:49Tackled.
17:51And just moving away from those, we've got Citadel and Catlike.
17:54Nice.
17:56All of them sevens.
17:57So there you go, and you're under a wee bit of pressure there, Charlotte,
18:00but that relieves it to some extent as we get back to the numbers
18:04and you're choosing them, champ.
18:06I'll stick with one larger and five smaller, please.
18:08Stick with what you like. One big five, a little.
18:11Let's try and find a challenge amongst this lot.
18:13The five small ones for you.
18:15Four, ten, eight, four, five, and the big one, 50.
18:21And this time the target, 616.
18:23616. Numbers up.
18:25No, no.
18:27Bye.
18:27Bye.
18:28Bye.
18:32Bye.
18:34Bye.
18:35Bye.
18:37Bye.
18:42Bye.
18:44Bye.
18:54My name is Jennifer C między in the NBA.
18:55616. Charlotte? 612.
18:58Ooh, Ellie? Yeah, 612.
19:00Four away, Charlotte, off you go.
19:028 over 4. 8 over 4 is 2.
19:04Add on the 10. 12.
19:07And then 5 minus 4. 5 minus 4 is 1.
19:10And then add the 50 to the 1. Yep.
19:13And multiply? 612.
19:15Brilliant. And Ellie?
19:17I made the 12 by doing 8 plus 4 is 12 times 50 plus 1.
19:23Times 50. And how did you make your 1?
19:25Oh, sorry. 5 minus 4.
19:27Yep. Lovely. Great. Same result.
19:30And how do we get the 616, Rach?
19:32Well, I always miss when you times things by 10,
19:35but eventually I spotted 4 plus 8 is 12.
19:38Plus 50 is 62.
19:41If you times that by 10, you get 620 with the spare 4 for 616.
19:46APPLAUSE
19:48Thank you, Rachael.
19:5161.39 as we get our second Tea Time teaser.
19:54My Canada. My Canada.
19:57That music's lost its taste, he said, with unbending insistence.
20:01Bit of a complicated one, this one.
20:03That music's lost its taste, he said, with unbending insistence.
20:08I don't know, Ian, I'm adamant that Susie is going to have to explain
20:26at least part of that Tea Time teaser.
20:28So that music's lost its taste is a lyric from a particular song.
20:31He said, with unbending insistence.
20:34So what is unbending insistence?
20:37What's the word?
20:38Well, then you would be adamant.
20:40And the state of being adamant is adamancy.
20:42And the artist is...?
20:44Adam and the ants.
20:45Yes.
20:46Adam and the ants for the song Ant Music,
20:48but he was adamant.
20:50Yeah, it is adamant.
20:51And, yeah, that music lost its taste is from ant music.
20:54OK.
20:55Well, at least it was straightforward.
20:57Well, listen, I'm no Prince Charming,
21:00but our champion Charlotte Robson has sat and delivered.
21:03That's for sure.
21:0461-39.
21:05It's still in the balance, though, Ellie,
21:07as you give us your letters.
21:10I'll start with the consonant, please.
21:12Thank you, Ellie.
21:13Q.
21:14And another.
21:16R.
21:17And a vowel.
21:19O.
21:20And another vowel.
21:21I.
21:23And a consonant, please.
21:24M.
21:25R.
21:26And a consonant.
21:27P.
21:28And a vowel, please.
21:29Lastly, U.
21:30And let's play.
21:31And let's play.
21:32And a consonant.
21:33And a consonant.
21:34And a consonant.
21:35P.
21:36And a vowel, please.
21:37Lastly, U.
21:38And let's play.
21:40And a vowel, please.
21:42Lastly, you.
21:44And let's play.
22:16Time's up. Ellie, how many?
22:17Just a six.
22:18And Charlotte?
22:19Yeah, six as well.
22:20Excellent. What have you got there, Elle?
22:21Primer.
22:22And Charlotte?
22:22Same word.
22:23Nice.
22:25Well, we're primed for dictionary corner again.
22:27What have you got?
22:28That was it, six.
22:29Well, that's the best that I think we could do.
22:32Impure, we came up with, but, yeah.
22:35Off we go again, then.
22:36More letters, Charlotte.
22:37Six is with a maximum there.
22:39Let's start with a consonant, please.
22:40Thank you, Charlotte.
22:41R.
22:42And another?
22:44P.
22:44And another?
22:47N.
22:48And one more?
22:50C.
22:51And a vowel, please.
22:53I.
22:54And another?

22:56And another?
22:58E.
22:58And a consonant, please.
23:01N.
23:02And finish with a vowel, please.
23:04Finish with A.

23:21And a vowel, please.
23:22And a vowel, please.
23:23And that's time, Charlotte.
23:39I think I'll risk a seven.
23:41And Ellie?
23:41Seven.
23:42A seven.
23:43OK, what you got, Charlotte?
23:44Canier.
23:44Canier and Ellie?
23:46Pannier.
23:47Pannier?
23:48Yeah, you might have that on the back of your bike.
23:50You need to get cycling more, Colin.
23:51It's one of the bags, in France, it would carry your baguette.
23:56But here it can carry an umbrella.
23:59Or a normal loaf of bread.
24:00Or indeed a baguette, because you can buy those here as well.
24:02True, true.
24:03OK, canier and pannier.
24:06What have you got for me over there?
24:08There was an eight.
24:09Oh.
24:10There was an eight.
24:11Yeah, so a couple, actually.
24:13One is a caponnier.
24:16That's a covered passage across a ditch around a fort.
24:19And the other, this is coming up a lot at the moment,
24:23procaine, which is the dental anaesthetic.
24:26Yeah, back again.
24:27It was only a couple of weeks ago we had it.
24:29Procaine, OK.
24:3074.52 then, Origins Award, Susie.
24:33Well, thanks to Ray Hall in Nuneaton
24:36for inspiring me to really delve into a particular subject
24:40that I know our viewers, like, I've touched on it occasionally,
24:44but it's place names and decoding place names,
24:48which is really wonderful if you're going on a car trip
24:50because you look at signposts in a new way.
24:53And Ray has asked where worth comes from
24:56at the end of a town or city,
24:58as in Lutterworth or Bedworth, for example.
25:01There's some lovely websites out there where you can have a look.
25:03But I'll start with worth, obviously,
25:06and that is from an old English word meaning a homestead.
25:09And it's usually preceded by someone's name,
25:12and you will find that's a common feature in placemave.
25:14Somebody's name, because they founded the first settlement there,
25:17will be in the mix.
25:19And Bedworth is from the old English personal name Beda or Bede as well,
25:24and this homestead idea.
25:26So it was the homestead belonging to or settled by Bede.
25:29And Lutterworth is probably the equivalent of Luther's farm
25:33or Luther's homestead.
25:36Rickmansworth, that was first recorded in the...
25:38Well, it is recorded in the Doomsday Book, actually, of 1086.
25:41That was the home of a man called Rickmer, and so on and so on.
25:45So some others, I thought, over the next few days,
25:47I'll give you some very common suffixes normally.
25:51Borough or Bury, that is a corruption of Burr, B-U-R-G-H,
25:56which meant a fort or a fortified place.
25:58So Aylesbury was the fortified place ruled over by someone called Ale
26:03or Eagle, as it was written in Old English.
26:06Then you've got B, like Whitby.
26:08That was the Danish word for village,
26:10so you will find it in areas that were very much part of the Viking settlement,
26:16the Danelaw, as it was called.
26:17Derby was the village full of deer, which was quite nice.
26:20Weatherby in West Yorkshire was the village of the weathers, or male sheep.
26:23Now, we have Castor, Sester, or Worcester, as it's pronounced, for example,
26:29and Chester.
26:30Those go back to a Saxon word which meant a Roman fort or a town,
26:33so you can see all the influences of the different people.
26:36Coombe, or Coombe, I'll finish with that one,
26:38is usually derived from an Old English word which meant a valley.
26:41So Compton, for example, is a common village name,
26:43and it was Valley Farm.
26:45And thank you to Rahal for sending that in.
26:51Much appreciated.
26:52OK, four rounds to go.
26:5422 points, the difference.
26:57Still game on, Ellie.
26:58Your letters.
26:59A consonant, please.
27:00Thank you, Ellie.

27:47And a vowel.
27:48And a vowel.
27:49And a vowel.
28:03Ellie. Eight. Eight from you and Charlotte. Just a six. The six is? Shaded. And what eight have you spotted? Anodised. Anodised. Yes, absolutely brilliant. Well done. Yes. Very good.
28:17Well spotted with anodised, I'm assuming that's stealing the show there. Well, yes. We did have another couple of eights, but that was excellent. Good work, OK.
28:24At final letters round, Charlotte, that leads cut to 14. Let's see if you can keep Ellie at bay. Last letters.
28:32I'll start with a consonant, please. Thank you, Charlotte. R. And another. W. And another. N. And another. S. And a vowel, please. O. And another. E. And one more. U. And a consonant, please.
28:54V. I think I'll finish with a consonant, please. Finish with G. And last letters.
29:09Yes.
29:11Okay.
29:22How many, Charlotte?
29:33Six.
29:34And Ellie?
29:35Yes, six.
29:36Charlotte?
29:36Owners.
29:37Owners.
29:38And for you, Ellie?
29:39Wrongs.
29:40Six points each then, but over the dictionary corner?
29:43Yeah, six for me, grouse, but you know Susie's going to better that.
29:49Yes, come on, how much better?
29:51Er, last minute, nine is there, but it's a nice one.
29:55From golf, you know you can have an overswing when you swing too hard.
29:59Overswung.
30:00Nice.
30:00Four.
30:01Well done.
30:05Oh, imagine if you'd have spotted that, Ellie.
30:07Goodness me.
30:08Right, there's still time for you.
30:10Let's do our last numbers.
30:11Four large, please.
30:13Gambling time.
30:14Good decision.
30:15Four large, two little.
30:16Let's hope we get a crucial.
30:17Right, the little ones.
30:19Five and two.
30:20And the big ones we know, 75, 25, 100 and 50.
30:25And the final target to make today, 584.
30:29Five it, four.
30:30Numbers up.
30:30One.
30:40One.
30:405-8-4. Ellie?
31:025-7-9.
31:03That's five away. Charlotte?
31:05Same here.
31:07Which would be enough to get your seventh win,
31:08but after the numbers rounds we've had today,
31:11I'm not counting my chickens yet.
31:12Ellie, off you go.
31:14OK, 5 times 100.
31:165 times 100.
31:17575.
31:18575.
31:19And then 50 divided by 25 is 2.
31:23Yep.
31:23Add that on with the other two.
31:26Yep.
31:275-7-9, five away.
31:29And Charlotte?
31:30Basically exactly the same,
31:31but I did 50 over 25 is 2,
31:32multiply by the other two and add it on.
31:34And just show that over.
31:36Yep.
31:37Seven points each.
31:38Really intriguing game.
31:40Not quite the crucial countdown conundrum,
31:42but what about 5-8-4?
31:44Because we're not quite there with that.
31:46Well, if you add two before you times it by 100,
31:48you can take it to 5-8-5,
31:51but this one was impossible.
31:52You could go one either way.
31:53So that means you got as good as you could get.
31:55Seven points each.
31:56At 87-73,
31:58ten more points to give away.
32:00So, Ellie, let's get your finger on that buzzer.
32:03And same for you, Charlotte.
32:04Let's reveal that countdown conundrum.
32:06Oh, go on, Ellie.
32:11Fricassee?
32:12Fricassee.
32:13Let's have a look.
32:14It's not Charlotte.
32:16That is time.
32:45So, Charlotte and Ellie both draw a blank on the countdown conundrum,
32:50but Susie then did not talk to me.
32:52Well, sacrifice.
32:54Let's have a look.
32:55See if you're right.
32:56The old Eldon John.
32:57Yeah.
32:57Yes, well done.
32:59Well, there you go.
33:03Well, listen, it was close enough, but at the end of the day,
33:05you were two hearts living in two separate worlds.
33:08Ellie, been great to have you here.
33:10Thank you very much.
33:11Unlucky.
33:11It was touch and go, wasn't it?
33:12Just the odd decision, really.
33:14Yeah, yeah, a couple of missteps and what you can do.
33:16That's the challenger's chair for you.
33:18Charlotte, listen, you are smart enough to know,
33:22given that you applied on your 16th birthday,
33:24that if you win tomorrow, there may be a couple of records tumbling.
33:28But I'm not going to put any pressure on you.
33:30I'm not going to mention them at all.
33:32If and when you win tomorrow,
33:33we'll talk about the fact that you're an octo-champ at the age that you are.
33:37But for now, we're lost in admiration.
33:39Well done.
33:41Well, there is history in the making.
33:44It's another waistcoat in the making tomorrow,
33:46although they were made about 40 years ago.
33:48John Virgo will have another one on tomorrow.
33:50Susie, are we getting a waistcoat from you?
33:52I don't have one.
33:54No?
33:54I need to nip into your dressing room, John.
33:56Once you've left it, obviously.
33:58Yeah, thank you for clarifying that.
34:00It was just a little bit creepy.
34:02And on that bombshell, Rachel, we should probably say goodbye.
34:05We should.
34:06Don't turn to creepier than me.
34:07How very dear are you?
34:09Guilt by association with the dent.
34:11All right, Susie, Rachel and I are back tomorrow at the same time.
34:14And listen, as I said, could be a little bit of history,
34:16so do not miss it.
34:17We'll be here.
