00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown on a Tuesday, which kind of feels like a Monday because of the bank holiday. And I don't know about you, but after the August bank holiday, I always feel this is the bit where the summer starts to drain away. And I know a lot of parents at home as well, sending their kids back to school as well. And Rachel Riley, if I've got my maths right, is this your first September, which we're about to head into, of sending one of your kids to nursery school?

00:59Yeah, my little baby Maeve's going to preschool for the first time next week.

01:04You absolutely will cry buckets of tears.

01:07I don't know. She went for a taster day and she absolutely loved it. She was like, mum and dad who?

01:12Yeah.

01:13She's desperate to have little friends and in the park she costs people and we get complaints that she's cuddling too much.

01:17Oh.

01:18Hopefully, you know, some friends that she can actually get to know, she's going to love it.

01:22Love it. Do you remember your first day at school or early memories?

01:25I don't know. I mean, one of my earliest memories is having to wear a full duffel coat and a full uniform age two and they made you do the top button up so you couldn't breathe.

01:34It's not a good memory.

01:36Well, same here. My first day at school, I had a hippie parent, my mum, so I had long hair to hair and I went, she sent me to school in dungarees with my hair in the rosy cheeks.

01:48And I spent the whole day telling people I was a boy. I think it was because of how I looked, I think it was the first person ever drug tested on the first day at school.

01:57That's the way it worked. But no, everyone has those memories of the first day and I'm telling you, when Maeve looks back at you at that door, floods of tears.

02:05I hope you enjoy every second of it.

02:07OK, Rach, let's cross over and introduce as always our head girl, Susie Dent.

02:12And definitely back of the class, back again, is the brilliant comedian and broadcaster, Russell Cain.

02:21A stubborn letter, I think.

02:23Oh, sorry.

02:24I'm not started.

02:26Susie Prefect, right?

02:28No, do you know what? I so wanted to be, like, captain of sports or whatever. I was the chief librarian.

02:33It was great.

02:34No surprise to anybody at all.

02:37Looking forward to today and still catching her breath after the epic battle yesterday between her champion, John, and 16-year-old Eliza.

02:48You know, as good as it gets, really.

02:50Five in, my friend.

02:52And does it feel like everything's getting a little smaller as these are football metaphors?

02:56The goal's shrinking a little bit with every round?

02:59Well, three more.

03:00Well, so it is, it's shrinking, but I'm sure it's going to be a pretty fiery contest today, so.

03:05Well, let's see who you're up against today.

03:07Shad Chokdar is here. Shad, welcome to the programme.

03:11Thank you very much, Colin.

03:12If you don't mind me saying, if it's not an overstep, very snazzy shirt.

03:15Thank you very much. I try to look my best.

03:17OK, well, you've certainly done that.

03:19Your school days was all about sport, right?

03:21Yes, yes, indeed.

03:22Tell us about, was it badminton? Tell us about that.

03:24So, yeah, when I went to university, I looked after the badminton society,

03:29and I was fortunate enough to meet people from all parts of the world,

03:33so whether it was Latin America, Africa, from China, so, yeah, it's a fantastic time.

03:38Brilliant. Well, listen, very good luck today, Shad.

06:44Can't beat recline, but, and I'm assuming this is one word,

06:47care line, as in customer care line.

06:49Brilliant.

06:49Another eight.

06:50It's a shame that, you know, if you work in the customer care line,

06:54you've just helped somebody, you can't say a care line,

06:56then you just add the D on, turned into past tense.

06:59Ah, yeah, not there as a verb yet.

07:00Yeah, it's not a verb.

07:01It's not a verb, so I will move on.

07:04I will know my place.

07:05Let's get some numbers with you on.

07:07Can I have six more, please, Rachel?

07:09You can have six more, and this is a strong sign that he does see you as competition.

07:14So, let's kick this off with possibly a tricky one.

07:17The numbers are four, one, four, one, nine, and seven.

07:24Two one's never good.

07:25Target, 365.

07:26Number's up.

08:00Three, six, four.

08:01One away.

08:03Shad?

08:03Three, 70.

08:04So, one away will take seven points.

08:06If you're right, John, off you go.

08:08Seven times nine is 63.

08:10Seven times nine is 63.

08:14Four plus one plus one is six, and I've gone wrong.

08:19OK.

08:20Big twist.

08:21Five away.

08:23Shad, you can tick some points here.

08:25Nine plus one is ten.

08:26Nine plus one, ten.

08:28Ten times seven is 70.

08:2970.

08:30Add the four, it's 74.

08:3274.

08:33Four plus one is five, and multiply them together.

08:35Four plus...

08:36The second four plus the second one, five.

08:38Three, 70.

08:39Well done.

08:40APPLAUSE

08:41Was the ten points out there?

08:45It was.

08:46Found it.

08:47He's saying nine plus four is 13.

08:51Times it by seven for 91.

08:53Times it by the second four for 364, and you can add the second one.

08:59Three, six, five.

09:00Yes.

09:01APPLAUSE

11:03OK, we had so many endings there.

11:06We knew it was going to be big.

11:07Is eight as big as we can get Susie and Russell?

11:10I think so.

11:12It's annoying, isn't it? It's very frustrating.

11:14Sparking is there as well.

12:51It's time for Shad's numbers.

12:53Can I get four large and two small, please?

12:56You can indeed.

12:57Go big or go home.

12:58Another four large, two little selection.

13:02Let's see what we have.

13:02They are two, one, and then the big ones.

13:06125, 50, 75.

13:09And the target to reach are 625.

13:13Numbers up.

13:44Right.

13:45Only easy if you see it.

13:47Shad.

13:48I've got it, but I've not written it down.

13:49625.

13:50John?

13:50I've got 625 written it down.

13:52Well, let's go Shad first.

13:54OK, so 100 over 25 equals 4.

13:58100 over 25 is 4.

14:004 plus the 1 equals 5.

14:02Yep.

14:03And then the 75 add the 50 for the 125 and multiply them together.

14:07Yep.

14:08There's going to be tons of ways for this one.

14:10That's one of them.

14:11There you go.

14:11Well done.

14:1210 points.

14:13John, same way, different way?

14:14100 minus 75 multiplied by 25.

14:16So 25 squared, yep, that'll do it.

14:18There you go.

14:19Well done.

14:1910 points.

14:2225 really helped in there with the four big numbers.

14:25Let's have a little chat with Russell Cain in Dictionary Corner for the first time this week.

14:29Listen, just to put you in the spot, we're talking about our school days.

14:33What pops in do your head?

14:36Well, I was a real shrinking violet at school.

14:39No, I was always separated for chattering, not concentrating.

14:42The thing was, though, my daughter started school during lockdown.

14:46That was her first year.

14:48And we were happy to keep her home in 2020 because we were like, we don't know what this virus does.

14:52You know, we've got to keep our kids out of school.

14:53We can't risk it.

14:54Even if the government make us, sends our kids, and I'll be protesting, we don't know what this virus does.

14:58How different to 2021?

15:00Well, it was like, the headmaster's got monkey pucks.

15:03In he go, in you go.

15:05School's on fire.

15:05Get in school.

15:06I'm not teaching the Tudors anymore.

15:08It was like night and day.

15:09I couldn't get them in quick enough.

15:10Crying.

15:11I was laughing maniacally as she went in.

15:13Now, who was the better teacher, the southern Russell Cain or the northern Lindsay?

15:19I'm a bit soft, so I would rather do that creative play and structured learning in the garden,

15:26whereas Lindsay's like, right, this is what's going to happen.

15:28I mean, when you're married to a northern woman, you just learn to do what you're told pretty quickly.

15:33I'm married to a woman that thanks herself.

15:37Thanks an imaginary assistant that's backing her.

15:39And she pluralises herself.

15:41You'll be interested in this from a linguistic point of view.

15:43Northern women say, don't tell us what to do.

15:45Yeah.

15:46Us.

15:47How many women are in there?

15:48More than you can handle.

15:49Sally can wait.

15:49Why do northern people pluralise themselves?

15:53Yeah, I don't know.

15:54Maybe it's the royal we creeping in.

15:57Yeah.

15:57But, yeah, so she's definitely the stricter one.

16:00And, in fact, I get mocked for it all the time.

16:02No, but school, I really...

16:03I was fine at primary school, but secondary school, horrific.

16:06Russell, thank you so much.

16:08Cheers.

16:08Right, delightful.

16:12We move back to the game.

16:14John's got 37, going for a sixth win.

16:17Shad's got 36, making another epic start to today's countdown,

16:21just like yesterday.

16:23John, nine letters, please.

16:24Can I have a consonant, please?

16:25Thank you, John.

17:12Shad?

17:23I'll try a six.

17:25And John?

17:25Six.

17:26OK, what are you trying, Shad?

17:28I'm going to try buttes.

17:29Buttes, it's a buttes, pluralised.

17:32And John?

17:32Bathes.

17:34And bathes.

17:34Well, we know we're home clean with bathes.

17:38What about buttes, Susie?

17:39Yeah, it's a bute in the dictionary.

17:41Anything better there, Englishman?

17:44It's habitue.

17:47Habitue.

17:48Habitue.

17:48Yes, and if you put an S on it, without pronouncing it,

17:52it will give you habitue.

17:54So it has an eacute accent.

17:55We took it from French.

17:57And habitue is a resident or frequent visitor to a particular place.

18:01Amazing.

18:04OK, Mr Choctaw, it is your letters.

18:07Can I start with a vowel this time, please?

18:09You can indeed.

26:21because this does have a bit of an upper-crust heritage,

26:24because Badminton House is the residence of the Duke of Beaufort

26:28in south-west England,

26:30and that's where the sport was supposed to have first been played in 1873.

26:34And it was called the Game of Badminton,

26:36eventually shortened to Badminton,

26:38but it actually had some names before then.

26:41Battledore and Shuttlecock was a children's game

26:44that pretty much resembled our modern badminton.

26:48So, big history behind badminton,

26:49but, ultimately, it is a toponym.

26:51Well, no. Brilliant.

26:55The legs of the seats have four more rounds left,

26:58and, Shad, it's your letters.

27:00May I have a vowel, please?

27:02Thank you, Shad.

27:03O.

27:04And another.

27:06E.

27:07And a third.

27:33You.

27:34Find aWell with G.

27:41This story is a larva.

27:42Let me move on.

27:43From the end of the day,

27:44I.

27:47Bye.

27:48Today.

27:51Time is up, Shad.

28:05Six.

28:06John?

28:07Same, six.

28:08OK, John?

28:10Rooted.

28:11Rooted and Shad?

28:12Hold on.

28:13Both rooted.

28:14Let's go to Dexterity Corner, Susie and Russell.

28:18If this is a verb, then there is an eight.

28:22Grottoed.

28:23Grottoed.

28:24It's in the dictionary.

28:24It's an adjective, actually, as in this place is very grottoed,

28:28if you're talking about historical site, but it's in the dictionary.

28:30Wow.

28:34We're still there.

28:34It's still heading towards a crucial countdown conundrum,

28:37but not there yet.

28:39John, it's your letters.

28:40Can I have a consonant, please?

28:42Thank you, John.

28:42R.

29:35OK, time is up, John.

29:38Seven.

29:39Seven from John.

29:40Shad.

29:40Seven as well.

29:41What's your seven, Shad?

29:42Janitor.

29:43Janitor and John.

29:45That is them.

29:46There you go.

29:46Yep.

29:47All right, dictionary corners.

29:48Susie and Russell playing clean-up.

29:50What have you got?

29:51I can't beat Janitor.

29:53No, that was our best as well.

29:54Seven points each.

29:55One hundred already for John.

29:57Ninety-one for a challenge.

29:59This is Countdown from the Gods.

30:01I've got one more numbers round.

30:03Are we going to make a crucial countdown conundrum?

30:05Well, let's find out.

30:06Shad, it's your numbers.

30:07I'm going to have one large and five little ones, please.

30:09You're going all in for the conundrum.

30:12Are you good at conundrums?

30:13Yeah.

30:13Right.

30:14Confidence.

30:15I like it.

30:15Well, hopefully we will end up with a crucial after this round.

30:18Final numbers of the day.

30:20Ten, nine, two, ten, eight and one hundred.

30:26And the target, I'm going to sit down, one hundred and seven.

30:30Talk amongst yourselves.

30:35Let's get through it.

31:04John?

31:04One hundred and seven.

31:06Shad?

31:06One hundred and seven.

31:07Go ahead, John.

31:08One hundred plus nine minus two.

31:09Yeah.

31:10Just skip the clock and give me the points.

31:11Shad?

31:12I did it.

31:13Nine minus two plus a hundred.

31:14Yeah, OK.

31:14It's good to have a nice variation in that.

31:17Right, well done.

31:17Ten points each.

31:18You're not getting a single round of applause.

31:20One hundred and ten plays a hundred and one.

31:23Back in that same situation, Rachel, that we were in yesterday, where you just feel like you don't want to lose either contestant.

31:31So we'll see what happens.

31:33It could be six wins in a row for John, but it could be an epic win for Shad.

31:40To win when someone else scores 110 is a real countdown moment.

31:43We shall see.

31:44It will all come down to this.

31:47A nine-letter anagram.

31:50And today's crucial countdown conundrum.

31:55It's Shad for the win.

32:01Globalise.

32:02Let's have a look.

32:04Epic!

32:08Shad, Chokdar really is a world beater with Globalise.

32:14Wow.

32:15111 to 110.

32:17I feel blessed.

32:19Thank you very much.

32:20Yeah, that's pretty amazing.

32:21Come to you in a second.

32:22And John Aziz, five wins.

32:25Wow.

32:26And I have to say, you faced some stiff competition to get there.

32:29I can't think of a single round you breezed through.

32:32Congratulations to you.

32:34You take the teapot, you take the goodie bag.

32:36But more importantly, you know, playing online every week, part of the countdown community,

32:41you're absolutely the lifeblood of this show.

32:42So has it been all you thought it would be?

32:45It's been a truly amazing experience, yeah.

32:47Absolutely fantastic.

32:49And I was hoping you get there because I wanted the tears.

32:51Well, five wins with OK scores probably does give me a chance to get into the finals.

32:57And I think you'd be formidable.

32:58I think you'd be absolutely formidable.

32:59You've scored 110 points and lost, which is unbelievable.

33:05So absolute pride all the way.

33:08Thank you so much for being here.

33:09What a champion.

33:10John Aziz.

33:10Chad, you got another snazzy shirt for tomorrow?

33:19I don't know.

33:20I don't know if I do.

33:21If you wear the same one, I will ridicule you.

33:23OK.

33:24OK.

33:24Let's see if you come dressed in press tomorrow.

33:27You certainly let the words and numbers do the talking.

33:29Absolutely sensation.

33:30Well, Russell, I'm a superstitious person.

33:36And the last two days, you've been in Dexterity Corner for the first time.

33:40Two of the best games of recent times.

33:42That's it.

33:43I do believe that sometimes you can, through osmosis, some of your genius can get into the players.

33:48I think that's what's happened on this occasion.

33:50Thank you very much, Russell, Susie.

33:54Listen, I'm a newbie.

33:56You've been here forever.

33:57That ranks right up there in terms of champion challenge.

34:00You're 110 to 111.

34:01It doesn't get much better than that.

34:02That's finals level countdown, that is.

34:04It was brilliant.

34:05Absolutely.

34:06Worthy of a final, and we've had it here today.

34:09Be sure to be back here tomorrow.

34:10Rachel, Susie, and I will be.
