00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio on the anniversary of the invention of the television by John Logie Baird. 90 years ago, and everybody said it will never catch on. Well, it did. The average number of hours now spent by the average Brit watching television is extraordinary. It's hours and hours. I don't get a lot of time because like you, I'm out working trying to earn, you know, something from my old age, from my late old age.
00:58And you, do you watch a lot?
01:01I like, well, things, you know, the digital recorders are great now because you can just have them stand by and then catch up with a whole lot when you've got time. So I like a lot of the David Attenborough stuff, anything with David Attenborough.
01:11Some of those cameras they've got, you know, those sort of slung under a helicopter that's three miles away and they're examining the tonsils of a tortoise.
01:19And seeing how far things have come on so quickly, that's fascinating.
01:23But who have we got with us now then, Rachel? Tim Downey's back, web designer from Leamington Spa, reigning champion, and won yesterday's game, of course, against Nick Burks with a 10-point lead.
01:35But Nick did very well, didn't he? He did well done.
01:37Now, Tim, you've got to clamber past Margaret Riches, a retired postwoman from Amble, who now volunteers at the Mother's Union.
01:46And you've got a daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. That keeps you busy, I imagine.
01:51Oh, no, they're not a lot of work, the family, no.
01:54No? And you've got a dog. How's your dog feeling?
01:57Well, I'm afraid the dog passed away, but the story about it was when it was alive.
02:02Yes, that's when you got a little bit confused. And you weren't feeling so good, and you reached out for the medicine and took the dog's medicine.
02:12That's right.
02:13Barking, were you, after that?
02:15I knew as soon as I'd swallowed it that I'd took it, and I didn't know whether to phone the vet or phone the doctor.
02:20Right.
02:22So you lost your dog. That's difficult, isn't it? I lost a dog last year.
02:25The third Labrador, and I'm just looking at that one lying there.
02:28Yes. We've got a Labrador in the audience, indeed. We have. And yours was a lab.
02:33Your third one.
02:33And it was your third one.
02:35Sam, three.
02:36All right. Well, let's cheer ourselves up, shall we, with a game of Countdown. Big round of applause, then, for Tim and Margaret.
02:43And, of course, over in the corner, Susie and Nicholas Owen back again with us. Welcome back, Nick.
02:53Lovely to be back.
02:54All right. Now then, Tim, let's have a letters game, shall we? Off we go.

12:34A violator.
12:35All right.
12:36Thirty-two plays twenty-four, and it's Margaret's numbers game now.
12:41Margaret.
12:41I'll have two large and four small, please.

13:376, 5, 4.
13:386, 5, 4, 2 away.
13:40So, let's hear from you.
13:4275 minus 10.
13:4465.
13:452 plus 8 is 10.
13:47Yep.
13:48Multiply those together.
13:50650.
13:50And add the 4.
13:51Yep, 2 away, 6, 5, 4.
13:53Well done.
13:53But where's that missing 2?
13:56Rachel?
13:57A couple of ways.
13:57One, you could say 10 plus 4, 14.
14:01Divided by 2 is 7.
14:03Add that to 75 for 82 and times it by 8.
14:07656.
14:08Well done.
14:08656.
14:10Well done, Rachel.
14:12And now we're standing 39 to Tim, Margaret on 24.
14:16We turn to Nicholas.
14:18Nicholas, broadcasting, it never looks easy, actually.
14:23But sometimes it's really hard.
14:26Yes, it certainly can be.
14:28Certainly live television and live television news.
14:31I do remember very much in the early days I worked for Channel 4 News.
14:36I was presenting Channel 4 News.
14:38I was sitting in the big chair and long programme.
14:41And at the end of it, my job was to say to the cameras, do it now.
14:45You know, thank you very much indeed.
14:46Good night.
14:46No, don't switch off because I've got more to say.
14:48And then the screen would go blank with the name still rolling.
14:51Now, I thought the director said in my ear something like, you're out of vision now.
14:57In other words, it had gone to black and I was not being seen.
15:00And it had been a very tiring programme.
15:02And I went, oh, and guess what?
15:08We were still on air.
15:10A million and a half people watched that.
15:12So I got up and very rapidly realised something more awful was wrong.
15:16You know, the worst thing about getting something wrong is the way when people try to be nice to you about it.
15:20That's worse than the mistake in a way.
15:22But somebody said to me, oh, it didn't notice.
15:25Oh, yes, it did.
15:26Somebody said to me, no one would have noticed anything wrong at all.
15:29Oh, yes, they would, you know.
15:31Anyway, I went into a corner office, I do remember, sat there.
15:34And in those days, a little drink was occasionally taken after a programme.
15:38Not anymore.
15:39But in those days, we did.
15:40Somebody put a drink in my hand and I was feeling very wretched and made such a fool of myself.
15:45But the worst was to come.
15:47Somebody looked round the door and I was just doing that.
15:49And the chap looked round and he said, Nick?
15:52Your mum's on the phone.
15:54She wants to know if you're all right.
15:55Oh, dear.
16:00And lots more where that came from for another occasion.
16:03Indeed.
16:03Well done.
16:04Lovely story.
16:0939 to 24.
16:10Tim on 39.
16:12And it's letters for you, Tim.
16:14Tim?
16:15A vowel, please.
16:16Thank you, Tim.
16:17U.
16:18And another, please.
16:20A.
16:21And a third.
16:22O.
16:24And a fourth.
16:25A.
16:27Consonant.
16:28D.
16:30A consonant.
16:31T.
16:32And a third.
16:34S.
16:35And a fourth.
16:38G.
16:39And a final consonant, please.
16:41And a final Q.
16:43Stand by.
16:44Question.
16:45Offic inscription, please.
16:45S.
16:46Good evening.
16:46Yes, this is true.
16:48And a third.
16:49I was sure, sir.
16:49And a third.
16:49I'm sure, sir.
16:52I'm sorry.
16:53I'm sorry.
16:54And a fifth.
16:54You see, sir.
16:57There are many times.
17:00It's just a fair тр我想.
17:01You can see.
17:02You have to do another one.
17:02Besides that.
17:03I had to do another one.
17:03There are many times, sir.
17:04You can see.
17:04Looking on the phone.
17:05иф yourself.
17:06I'll see you again.
17:06And a second one.
17:07And a second one.
17:07And I can see.
17:08You can see you.
17:09You'll see it.
17:09With that left.
17:10It's just a fair.
17:11We're going to do initially.
17:13Tim?
17:16Five.
17:17Five, Margaret?
17:18Five.
17:20So, Tim's five?
17:21Squat.
17:22Squat and Margaret?
17:24Quads.
17:26Quads?
17:27Yep, absolutely fine, yes.
17:29Very good.
17:30Can we beat five, though, Nicholas?
17:31Yeah, we can, and again, a discussion here,
17:34because I would have thought this was a trade name,
17:36but Susie will explain.
17:38Autogas.
17:39Sounds like something you buy at the pump,
17:41but not quite that, is it?
17:42Well, it might be, but it's not trademarked,
17:45so it has a small A, and it's an American word.
17:47We're allowed North American words,
17:49just not North American spellings.
17:50Yeah, yeah.
17:51And it's either petrol, as contrasted with aviation fuel,
17:55or simply exhaust gas and fumes that are emitted by a car engine,
18:00as opposed to aviation gas.
18:02If it works, it works.
18:03Well done.
18:0444, please.
18:0429.
18:05And, Margaret, your letters game.
18:07I'll start with a consonant, please.
18:09Thank you, Margaret.
18:10D.
18:10And another.
18:12L.
18:13And another.
18:15N.
18:16And another.
18:18P.
18:19And a vowel.
18:21E.
18:22And another vowel.
18:24O.
18:25And another vowel.
18:28I.
18:29And a consonant.
18:31S.
18:33And a vowel.
18:34And the last one.
18:36O.
18:36Countdown.
18:38Countdown.
18:38Countdown.
19:08Yes, Margaret.
19:10Eight, I hope.
19:12Tim?
19:12Seven.
19:13And that's seven.
19:15Spooled.
19:16Spooled.
19:17Now then, Margaret, which is...
19:18Poisoned.
19:19Poisoned.
19:20It is there.
19:21Well done.
19:21Very good.
19:27Nicholas Owen.
19:29We've got a couple, actually.
19:30Remember, the last one was a motoring thing.
19:33Here's another one.
19:34Solenoid.
19:36Something to do with the car engine, isn't it?
19:38Yeah.
19:38Cylindrical coil of wire, which acts as a magnet when it carries electrical current.
19:43And another word, which he was talking about here, polonies.
19:48Polonies.
19:49Now, what's that?
19:50Polonie in the singular is another term for bologna, which is a large sausage.
19:54Oh, yeah, yeah.
19:55I think they call them polonies in America, too, as well, I should come to think of it.
19:59Very good.
19:59Good accent.
20:0044 plays 37, and Tim, numbers time.
20:04There's Rachel.
20:04What would you like?
20:06Four large and two small, please.
20:07Same again.
20:08Thank you very much, Tim.
20:08Don't need to ask any more.
20:09Four large and two little.
20:12And this time, the little two are seven and ten.
20:16And the big four, 50, 100, 25, and 75.
20:20And this time, your target, 220.
20:24Two, two, zero.
20:25One, two, zero.
20:55Yes, Tim?
20:58Two, two, zero.
20:59Two, two, zero, Margaret?
21:01No, I've just got 250.
21:05250?
21:05I think.
21:06I think that's about academic, actually.
21:09Let's have a word with Tim down.
21:1125 plus 7.
21:1225 plus 7, 32.
21:15Multiply by 10.
21:16320.
21:17Subtract the 100.
21:18220.
21:18Well done.
21:19There we go.
21:20Well done, Tim.
21:23Yeah.
21:25And now it's time, now it's time for a tea time teaser, which is Day Broke.
21:29And the clue, Q to the left, but P to the right.
21:34Q to the left, but P to the right.
21:36So, welcome back.
21:52I left you with the clue, Q to the left, but P to the right.
21:56And the answer, and the answer, of course, is keyboard.
21:59All right.
22:0054 to 37, and it's Margaret's letters game.
22:03Margaret.
22:03I'll start with the consonant, please, Rachel.
22:05Thank you, Margaret.
22:06P.
22:07And another.
22:10V.
22:11And another.
22:12R.
22:18And a vowel.
22:20U.
22:21And a vowel.
22:23A.
22:24And another vowel.

22:27And a consonant.
22:30D.
22:31And a vowel.
22:32And lastly.
22:34O.
22:35Come down.
22:36You.
22:37You.
22:45You.
22:51You.
22:52You.
22:56You.
22:59You.
22:59You.
23:01Margaret.
23:068.
23:08An 8.
23:09Tim?
23:106.
23:11And your 6?
23:13Proven.
23:14Proven.
23:15Now, Margaret.
23:17Vapored.
23:18Vapored.
23:20Erm, it is there, believe it or not.
23:26Erm, there is a sense of vapour used as a verb meaning to talk in a vacuous boasting or simply pompous way.
23:33So the example was, he was vapouring on about the days of his youth.
23:36Really?
23:37Very good.
23:38Well done.
23:39Yeah.
23:40Excellent.
23:41You're still in touch, Margaret.
23:4445 to, er, Tim's 54.
23:47But what of the corner?
23:48What of Nicholas and Susie?
23:50Well, interesting, we heard unproven.
23:52We've got, er, also eight unproved, which apparently is right.
23:56Yeah.
23:57It's in the dictionary.
23:58Well done.
23:59Thanks.
24:00Well done, Nicholas.
24:01So, 54 to 45 and it's Tim's letters game.

25:11A seven, Margaret?
25:13A seven.
25:14Tim?
25:15Lustier.
25:16And both of you?
25:18Yep.
25:19Very good.
25:21And Nicholas?
25:22Now then, here's one from Susie.
25:24We talk about somebody being unruly, being out of control in a way, but the opposite is
25:29ruly.
25:30So you can have the ruliest person in the house, amenable to control, well-behaved.
25:35Really?
25:36Well done.
25:3761 to 52, still that time.
25:39Same difference as we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins of words.
25:44Today, Susie?
25:45Today I'm going to tell a sad story, so I should apologize in advance, but it does
25:51explain one of our most enduring expressions in English.
25:55And it's the story of James Foreman Todd Hunter Sloan.
25:59He was an American jockey, and in the 19th century he was the top rider on the East Coast
26:06of America, he won the Brighton Cup, he was celebrated up and down at the land.
26:12But if I go back to when James Foreman Todd Hunter Sloan was born, he was tiny and he
26:17was frail.
26:18His mum died when he was incredibly young, and he was pretty much sent out to cope on
26:22his own.
26:23He was employed by a trainer of thoroughbred horses, and basically ascended from there,
26:30and ascended he did.
26:31He actually became the principal rider of the Prince of Wales.
26:34He also had a very lavish lifestyle.
26:37History doesn't quite relate why the tide of fortune turned against him, but it certainly
26:41did.
26:42There were suspicions that he was betting on his own races, that he was a bit of a fraud.
26:47And whether or not that was true, he was asked not to renew his license.
26:52The Prince of Wales dismissed him, and he was forced to turn to other means of living.
26:57He went to Paris, he opened a restaurant which was successful at first, and then didn't, in
27:02fact, succeed.
27:03He then tried to act in motion pictures, but that didn't quite work either.
27:07He was married and divorced twice, but died on his own of cirrhosis of the liver in 1933.
27:14So a very, very sad story.
27:16And the reason I tell it is that James Foreman, Todd Hunter Sloan, is the reason why today,
27:20if we say we are on our Todd, it means we are on our own.
27:24And that's pretty much because of his downfall.
27:26In fact, his autobiography was called Todd Sloan Alone.
27:30And of course, it was rhyming slang then that crept into the language, but it was very
27:34appropriate to his rather sad demise.
27:36What a good story.
27:44One is Todd.
27:46Well, I'm dashed.
27:47Sad, but actually riveting for all that.
27:5061 plays, 52.
27:52Tim in the lead, and it's Margaret.
27:54Margaret now.
27:56Your letters game.

29:03Margaret?
29:04It's a risky five, Butte.
29:06All right.
29:07Tim?
29:08Banter.
29:09And banter.
29:10Lots of banter here.
29:11Yeah.
29:12Nicholas?
29:12We've got a seven.
29:15Bitumen, stuff you put on the roads.
29:18And for eight, I think it's eight, isn't it?
29:20Yep.
29:21Ruminate.
29:22Yes.
29:22To think and consider and so forth.
29:24All right.
29:25And ute is okay, Susie?
29:29Yute is absolutely fine.
29:31It's been in the dictionary for many a year.
29:33Yeah.
29:33All right.
29:34Anything else?
29:34Good.
29:35No.
29:35Ruminate was from the Latin for chewing over.
29:38As the cows do.
29:39Ruminate.
29:40All right.

31:01Clarion call.
31:03And Nicholas, what have you got in the corner, Susie?
31:06We've got an eight.
31:09Criminal.
31:10I think that will do perfectly.
31:1274 to 52.
31:13Tim's in the lead as we go to the final numbers game.
31:17Margaret.
31:18Two large and four small, please, Rachel.
31:20Thank you, Margaret.
31:20Another two from the top row.
31:21And four little ones to finish us off today.
31:24And this selection is nine, seven, five, eight.
31:29And the big two, 25 and 50.
31:32And the target, 822.
31:34822.
31:35822.
31:35822.
31:37Yes, Margaret?
32:07Eight hundred and ten. I've got near enough.
32:10Eight ten, Tim.
32:12Eight, two, two.
32:13Eight, two, two. Well done, Tim. Let's hear from you.
32:16Nine plus seven.
32:17Nine plus seven is sixteen.
32:19Multiplied by fifty.
32:20Is eight hundred.
32:21Add the twenty-five.
32:22Eight, two, five.
32:23Eight minus five is three.
32:24Yep.
32:25I'll take that off.
32:26Perfect. Eight, two, two. Well done.
32:27Well done.
32:28Well done, Tim.
32:30So it's eighty-four to fifty-two.
32:34In Tim's favour as we head towards the final round.
32:37So fingers on buzzers, please. Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
32:41Yes, Tim.
32:42It's wrong. I was going to say centimetre, but it's not.
32:46No. Rest of the time to Margaret.
32:48Margaret?
32:49Reminiscent.
32:50Let's see.
32:51No.
32:52So let's turn to the audience, because we've failed up here, but who... I see hands.
33:04I see quite a few hands. Yes, sir.
33:07Increase.
33:08Increase.
33:09Yes, Tim.
33:10It's wrong.
33:11I was going to say centimetre, but it's not.
33:12No.
33:13Rest of the time to Margaret.
33:14Margaret?
33:15Reminiscent.
33:16Let's see.
33:17No.
33:18So let's turn to the audience, because we've failed up here.
33:20Increment.
33:21Increment.
33:22Increment.
33:23Let's see whether you're right.
33:24And there it is.
33:25Increment.
33:26Well done.
33:27Well done indeed.
33:30All right.
33:33So.
33:34Fifty-two.
33:35Not bad.
33:36I tried.
33:37You did very well, because, you know, you held Tim down.
33:40As it were, if you don't mind the expression.
33:43Because he's a champ.
33:44And you did.
33:45You had him neck and neck for quite a long time.
33:48But in the end, Tim won.
33:50And Margaret, you go home to amble with your goodie bag.
33:53And our very best wishes.
33:55And good luck to the Mother's Union.
33:57And I'm sure your grandchildren will be delighted with you anyway.
34:00I'm sure they're watching you now.
34:03All right.
34:04And we shall see Tim down tomorrow again.
34:06Well done, Tim.
34:08As indeed we shall see Nick Owen, Nicholas Owen, and Susie back again tomorrow.
34:12Yep.
34:13I trust.
34:14See you then.
34:15All right.
34:16Well done.
34:17Rachel?
34:18Nicholas.
34:19He's a good champ, isn't he?
34:20He's doing very well.
34:21He's doing very well indeed.
34:22Yep.
34:23He's busy.
34:24Somebody always comes along to unseat him.
34:26Let's see what happens tomorrow.
34:28Join us then.
34:29Same time, same place.
34:30You'll be sure of it.
34:31A very good afternoon.
