00:30Good afternoon, good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Now, I wonder how many of you know that today is World Meteorological Day.
00:39Very important day, actually, because today it's all about raising awareness of the effects of climate change.
00:45And to illustrate this, the WMO is holding a photo competition, open to everybody.
00:52And really, they really want shots of intense weather conditions, vents, heat waves, rainfall, floods, all the rest of it,
01:01to really highlight the fact that the climate is changing.
01:04We've really got to behave ourselves and slow this down and stop it if we possibly can.
01:09Photography. I used to love photography.
01:11I had cameras, and I used to take ages over them when actually cameras were so technical.
01:16You could alter the focal length and do all sorts of interesting things.
01:19Nowadays, of course, we've all got cameras with beautiful little lenses, but we snap away now.
01:24And in a sense, Rachel, I don't know whether you agree, but actually, we don't perhaps take as much trouble as we should with our pictures.
01:31What do you think? Do you take pictures? Are you a keen photographer?
01:34I think everyone's got a phone. Most people have got a good camera on their phone these days.
01:38So I went on a safari recently, and I didn't even think to take a camera.
01:42I just had my phone in. You've got brilliant videos and photos and panoramics.
01:46I think there's even special competitions for particular types of phones, the pictures you can take on them.
01:54And there's a gorgeous one. I think there was an iPhone photography competition last year.
01:57There's a picture of killer whales and underwater stuff with these things.
02:01It's amazing what you can do just with a small device.
02:04Yeah, but the flexibility is not really there as much as it used to be with, you know, SLR cameras.
02:08But they're so easy, and they're always in your pocket.
02:11That's true. You can snap away as much as you like.
02:14Now, who have we got with us? We've got Conrad back.
02:16Exciting day for Conrad to Shearer, because you've got seven wins under your belt.
02:22Today's a big day.
02:23And you got a bit rattled in the last game.
02:26And I hope you've had a pleasant night, and you're all relaxed.
02:29It's a countdown. You're going to get a teapot anyway.
02:32Let's see whether you're actually going to the finals. Shall we?
02:35All right. First of all, you've got to get past Graham Lazenby.
02:39Works in logistics in Harrogate.
02:41Enjoys swimming, running, playing tennis at the Starbeck Tennis Club.
02:45And he's a bit of a traveller.
02:46And I think he once stumbled across a rare blue-ringed octopus
02:49while volunteering for a marine conservation project.
02:53Where was that?
02:54It was in Cambodia.
02:56So just off the south west coast.
02:59Oh, wonderful.
02:59And what was this marine conservation project that you were involved in?
03:04So we'd go scuba diving.
03:06We'd go down and do coral reef surveys.
03:08So just survey an area of land and identify what we could find there.
03:14Brilliant.
03:14The main focus was seahorses, because they were endangered around there.
03:18And how long were you there for?
03:20In Cambodia, seven weeks. I've wanted six weeks.
03:23I've never been. Do you enjoy it?
03:24Yeah, it was amazing, yeah.
03:25Great place?
03:26Yeah, great.
03:27Lucky man.
03:28Let's have a big round of applause then for Graham and Conrad.
03:35And over in the corner, Susie, of course, joined once again by the wonderful Mark Foster,
03:39swimmer, certainly presenter and motivator too.
03:43Big medalist.
03:44A big medalist and full of great sporting stories.
03:47Welcome back, Mark Foster.

06:59And?
07:00And atrophy, which is when a body tissue or an organ wastes away.
07:04Yeah.
07:05Your muscles can atrophy.
07:07Yes.
07:07Indeed they can.
07:08Twelve apiece.
07:08Well done.
07:09And, Conrad, numbers game.
07:11Hi, Rachel.
07:11Can I have six small?
07:13Well, you might say that.
07:13Thank you, Conrad.
07:14Six small.
07:15See if this can break your early deadlock.
07:18And the first numbers game of the day is nine, two, six, ten, one, four.
07:27And the target, 179.

08:13Nice and straightforward, one seven nine.
08:14Mr. Lazenby.
08:16The same, basically.
08:19There we go.
08:19Are we happy?
08:21All right.

10:19Yes, Graham? Seven. Seven, Conrad? Seven. Graham? Retakes. And? Stalker. Thank you. Yeah, very good. Tight run thing here. What have we got in the corner? Mark? Well, we didn't do any better. I actually pulled one out called Skelter, but I was told.
10:38Well, it's a brilliant word, but it's only there with helter, skelter. And it's a funny word, because you can't have helter on its own, and you can't have skelter on its own, but together, they make sense. Helter, skelter. Yes. Good fun. Yeah. 29 points apiece. Conrad, do your best.
10:56Thank you, Conrad. B. And another. T. And another. W. And another. T. And another. R. And a vowel, please. A. And another. I. And another.
11:22O. And another vowel, please. And the last one. E. And it's Countdown.
11:52Conrad? A seven. A seven. Graham? I'll risk a seven.
12:07Conrad? Batia. Batia. Now then, Graham? Also, Batia.
12:12We happy with Batia? Very happy with Batia. Yes. Bats. Bats and the Belfry, all the same idea of being slightly mad. Yes.
12:23All right. And what else have we got there? Susie? Mark? Well, seven was the best. I had a six for Waiter.
12:30Mm-hmm. But seven was the best we did. All right. Well done.
12:33Thirty-six apiece. And, Graham, let's see what you're made of.
12:39Can I try one large and five small? You can indeed. One large, five small. And see if this can separate you two.
12:45We'll try it. Right. These five small ones are eight, seven, two, six, one. And the big one, 50.
12:54And the target, 304.
12:57304.
12:58And the target, 304.
13:28304.
13:30Graham? 304.
13:31Thank you, Conrad. 304.
13:35Okay, Graham.
13:36So, 50 times six.
13:3850 times six, 300.
13:40And then eight over two.
13:41It's the four. Straightforward.
13:43And, Conrad?
13:4550 plus one.
13:4651.
13:47Times six.
13:49306.
13:50Minus two.
13:51Yeah, well done. Same as well.
13:52There we go. All right.
13:53So, easy enough.
13:57But it's still dead heating at 46 apiece.
14:01As we turn to Mark. Mark, Rio. Rio in the summer. Who should we keep an eye out for?
14:09Well, from a British perspective, we've got lots of exciting things happening, especially in the swimming pool at the moment.
14:16So, after 2012, people said it was a slight disappointment in the pool.
14:23I thought we actually did quite well.
14:25Becky Allenton won two bronzes and Michael Jameson won a silver medal.
14:29But I think you find with sport, we go through decades and eras where we were quite strong one time and then we get quite weak.
14:36And at the moment, the team is stronger than I've ever seen it before.
14:40I think over the last eight years.
14:43We've always had swimmers that have been below the top and it's whether we nurture them and keep them in the sport that they get to rise to the top.
14:49And at the moment, we've got the names to look out for for 2016.
14:52I think the ones that will make the headlines.
14:54And if you are a betting man, which I don't know if you are at all, Nick.
14:58But Adam Peaty, who last summer won the world championships and broke the world record in 100 metres breaststroke.
15:05I would say odds on favourite to win.
15:06There's no guaranteed gold medals in any championships, but he's a very, very good shout.
15:11We've also got Siobhan Marie O'Connor, who does 200 metre individual medals.
15:15At least she won a medal at the world championships just last year in Russia.
15:19Fran Housel.
15:21And Fran Housel is now only 25 years of age and you think she's been around for, if you know sport or you know swimming,
15:26she's been around for the last 10 years picking up medals.
15:29She's come into a peak and she's got a new coach at the moment.
15:32So, I mean, all in all, we have got a number of medal opportunities.
15:35Where in the past, I'd have probably said going into a championships, you can look out for this one person.
15:40And I'd have been talking about Michael Phelps and the good and the great from the rest of the world.
15:45So, no, potentially this year we've got some new people, some new faces to look out for.
15:50And also new names, which hopefully will then encourage the next generation of swimmers to come through and shine.
15:55And you'll be there?
15:55I will be there in Rio on Coca-Cabana Beach in a pair of swimming trunks.
16:01Yeah, I might be in a pair of swimming trunks.
16:02I don't do the pair of swimming trunks thing anymore.
16:03But I will be there commentating and talking about it, yes.
16:05That's the important thing.
16:07You'll have a mic.
16:07Well done.
16:08Well done.
16:08Thank you very much.
16:11Thank you, Mark.
16:12Now, here we are.
16:15We've got a fight on our hands here.
16:1646 apiece and it's Conrad's Letters game.
16:19Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?

17:41Didn't do any better than those sevens now.
17:43No, that was ours.
17:44Lounges all the way, yes.
17:45All right.

22:25And a final vowel, please.
22:27And a final I.
22:30Countdown.
22:33I.
23:02Yes, Graham.
23:03Seven.
23:04A seven, Conrad?
23:05Nine.
23:09Graham.
23:11Matures.
23:13Now then, Mr. Toshira.
23:16Ruminates.
23:18Ruminates.
23:19Wow.
23:25Well done, Conrad.
23:27Now then, Mark, what is your nine?
23:30To be fair, we can't top it.
23:31We've got ruminates, but then Susie found another one.
23:34Yep, anti-serum is in there.
23:37Slightly less likely, but that's a blood serum
23:39containing antibodies against specific diseases.
23:42I see, an anti-serum.
23:43Yeah.
23:44Well done, indeed.
23:44Thank you very much.
23:45Anti-serum.
23:46There it is.
23:47And it's 87 to 59 as we turn to Conrad for a letters game.
23:52Conrad?
23:55Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
23:57Thank you, Conrad.
23:58P.
24:00And another.
24:01S.
24:03And another.
24:05L.
24:06And another.
24:08P.
24:09And a vowel, please.
24:13A.
24:14And another.
24:15I.
24:16And another.
24:18E.
24:20And a consonant, please.
24:23L.
24:26And another consonant, please.
24:28And lastly, N.
24:31Don't, don't.
24:31Do you know what you can do to the next one?
24:33I'll see you next time.
24:34And let's go.
24:34And another.
24:35I'll see you next time.
24:36CONRAD
25:02Conrad.
25:03Seven.
25:06And...
25:06A risky seven.
25:08A risky seven from Graham.
25:10Conrad.
25:10Nipples.
25:12Nipples.
25:14Graham.
25:15Alpines.
25:17Excellent.
25:17Yes, alpine plants are alpines.
25:20They certainly pluralise them.
25:21Yep.
25:22Absolutely fine.
25:22Very good.
25:23And Mark, Susie?
25:25Can't do any better in the seven, can we?
25:26No.
25:27Nappies.
25:28Nappies.
25:29Yes, and apples for six.
25:31And apples.
25:32All right.
25:33Well done indeed.
25:34Ninety-four to sixty-six.
25:35And now we come to that part of the day that the nation has been waiting for.
25:40It's Susie's Origins of Words.
25:42Susie.
25:42Two animals for you today, Nick.
25:46And the catalyst for this was an email from Alan from Accrington.
25:50He didn't give me a surname, but he says, please could you explain the reasoning behind the phrase to badger somebody, which is to nag them, isn't it?
25:59And to go on and on and on and on at somebody.
26:02And you might guess that this one goes back to something very cruel, and that's the horrible sport, so-called sport of badger baiting.
26:11It does allude to the nocturnal burrowing mammal, the badger, and you'd think that it probably refers to the badger itself being sort of killed by dogs.
26:24Because, of course, dogs were pitted against badgers with the idea of getting them out of their burrows.
26:29I don't need to go into it.
26:29It was all very, very cruel.
26:31But actually, those fights weren't as one-sided as you might expect.
26:35And badgers were chosen specifically for this entertainment because they're incredibly tenacious.
26:40And they've also got very, very sharp teeth.
26:44So it's quite possible that the badgering was actually done by the badger to the dogs.
26:49And that would probably make more sense as far as the expression is concerned.
26:54But I'm going to move from badgers to shrews.
26:57If you're shrewd today, you are savvy, you are wise, and you're astute, and that's all very good.
27:02But you will probably be good at evaluating what's bad as well.
27:06And over the centuries, shrewd has had a very tough time of it.
27:10It's meant harmful, irksome, ominous, ugly, abusive, depraved, disgusting, unsatisfactory, or naughty.
27:18It's had every single one of those meanings over the centuries.
27:22And that's because the shrew itself is held to be very spiteful, very cunning, and altogether mean-spirited.
27:27And a woman we know from Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, if she was shrewish,
27:31she was not very pleasant to be around and extremely sour tempers.
27:35And it was only in the 1500s, so comparatively late in the grand scheme of things,
27:40that the quality of being shrewd took on more positive meanings.
27:44But I hope that answers Alan's question about badgering, as I say,
27:47goes back to a not-very-nice pastime that we will be good to forget, I think.
27:52Well done. Thank you.
27:53APPLAUSE
27:54You see what's shrewd? It's still slightly pejorative, isn't it?
28:00It is. Slightly, yeah.
28:01Yeah.
28:0294 plays 66, Conrad on 94, and it's Graham's letters game, penultimate letters game.
28:08Graham?
28:09Uh, consonant, please.
28:10Thank you, Graham.

29:26Yes, Graham.
29:27Bladder.
29:28Bladder and?
29:29Boarded.
29:31Very nice.
29:32Can we improve on that?
29:33Can we match it?
29:34No, we can only match it.
29:35We've also got a rail bed.
29:37Yes.
29:38A rail bed.
29:39A bed of gravel upon which the rails are laid for a railway.
29:42Okay.
29:43Well done.
29:44That's it?
29:45Yes.
29:47101.
29:48Conrad, you've gone through the 100 mark.
29:49Well done.
29:50Great score.
29:51And we've now looked to Conrad for the final letters game.

31:23Very good.
31:24Susie?
31:25Yep, that was our best.
31:26That's it.
31:26Good enough.
31:271-0-7, plays 79, and we roar into the final numbers game.
31:32Graham, Graham Lazenby.
31:34Let's go for two large and four small.
31:36Thank you, Graham.
31:37Two large, four small for the final one of the day.
31:40And this time, your little numbers are nine, one, nine, and six.
31:47And the big one's 75 and 100.
31:50And the target, 364.
31:53364.
32:01Uh, three, six, seven, not written down.
32:31Three, six, seven.
32:32Conrad?
32:33Three, six, five.
32:34Three, six, five.
32:36Go, Conrad.
32:38Nine minus six is three.
32:40Nine minus six, three.
32:42Times 100.
32:44300.
32:44Plus 75.
32:45Three, seven, five.
32:47And minus nine and one.
32:48Yep.
32:49The other nine for one away.
32:51One away.
32:52Well done.
32:52Not perfect, though.
32:53Rachel, can you crack that for us?
32:55Um, it was a little tricky, so leave it with me.
32:58Certainly we will.
32:591-1-4 plays 79 as we go into the final round.
33:04Conrad, Graham, fingers on buzzers.
33:06Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:13Conrad.
33:14Magically.
33:15Magically.
33:16Magically.
33:20There you go.
33:20Well done.
33:23Well done.
33:28Well done, Conrad.
33:30I'll come back to you in a second.
33:31But, Graham, you had him neck and neck all the way.
33:34So you played brilliantly.
33:35Well done.
33:36But in the end, Conrad, our new octochamp, took the day.
33:41Well done.
33:42Well done.
33:42Graham, will you take this back?
33:44Back to Harrogate with our very best wishes.
33:47Well played.
33:48Very impressive player.
33:49Thank you very much.
33:50Young man, we shall see you in the finals.
33:53Fantastic.
33:54Well done.
33:55All right, guys.
33:56We shall see you tomorrow.
33:57We'll have two new contestants, and let's see how they shape up.
34:00Will we have another octochamp lurking there, I wonder?
34:03Yeah.
34:04Well done, Conrad.
34:05Indeed.
34:05We'll see you tomorrow.
34:06Now, Rachel, what have you been up to?
34:08It wasn't too tricky.
34:09Just lots of dead ends with this one.
34:10But if you say 100 minus 9 is 91, and then 9 plus 1 minus 6 is 4, and just times them
34:18together.
34:19Oh, good.
34:20Jolly good.
34:20Well done.
34:22Well done.
34:25And join us tomorrow.
34:26Same time, same place.
34:28You be sure of it.
34:30Two new contestants.
34:31Very good afternoon.
