00:31Hello, everybody. It's Tuesday afternoon. Welcome to Countdown.
00:34Of course, it could be any time if you're watching on all four,
00:37which a lot of people do these days.
00:40Rachel, it's one of the things I can't give up.
00:43It doesn't feel the same to me if I don't tune into a programme
00:47when it's first aired. It's not the way of the youngsters.
00:50But it's one of those things I can't let go of.
00:53What are the sort of slightly dated things as technology advances
00:57that you can't let go of, or do you embrace everything?
01:00You know what? You asked me this question, and I've been trying to think,
01:03and I can't think of anything that I'm addicted to or, you know,
01:07won't let go of. I think I've moved with the times.
01:09Listen, I'm not a technophobe,
01:10but I do have an old-fashioned written-out diary.
01:13You do?
01:14Yeah, if I put it into my phone, I forget about it happening.
01:16So if you lose that, you don't know where you are, what you're doing?
01:19Yeah, but I don't lose it.
01:20OK.
01:21Again, music's a big thing.
01:23Vinyl, I mean, making such a big comeback.
01:25But again, that's my first reference.
01:27Yeah.
01:27And I would go to that.
01:29No, I don't even have a DVD player.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Well, listen, talking about things that have been around for a while,
01:34let's head over to Dictionary Corner.
01:37The reference, of course, is to the first volume
01:39of the Oxford English Dictionary, which was published in 1884.
01:44What else could I possibly meant?
01:47Still our reference, always our reference for all countdown words,
01:50and overseeing it is our Susie Dent.
01:52And a man that knows that a good condiment or a sharpsuit
01:56never goes out of fashion.
01:57Levi Roots is here.
02:02Love it.
02:03And listen, every day's a drama with our champion Adrian Weston.
02:06Two really close games so far.
02:09And we talked on Friday about you making the little maths YouTube videos.
02:14But actually, your main job, and Levi, you know,
02:17you're a kindred spirit.
02:18You're a chef.
02:19What type of food are you involved in?
02:21Well, at the moment, I do private parties for people.
02:25I'm the guy that goes round the house and cooks a special meal.
02:28Oh, like posh food?
02:30You could call it that.
02:31Wonderful.
02:32Well, you didn't bring any food for us yet,
02:33but we'll expect that to change if you keep winning.
02:36You might not today.
02:37You're up against Philip Goodwin,
02:39originally from Cardiff, living in Bristol.
02:41How are you, sir?
02:42Yeah, I'm good, thanks.
02:43Good.
02:44Now, listen, you're the reason for the chat,
02:46because you and I are brothers from another mother,
02:49because you have the same mobile phone for how long?
02:53So, for, yeah, 20 years now.
02:55Got an aerial?
02:57No.
02:57Not far back.
02:58What else?
02:59What else?
03:00Because you're old-school CDs?
03:03Yeah, so, yeah, I still, yeah, I got the CDs and I think, yeah,
03:07so I don't do, like, the streaming, that kind of stuff.
03:10Oh, my goodness.
03:11Back to the...
03:12Yeah.
03:12That's the old CDs still.
03:14Do you still have a VHS?
03:17Oh, yeah, I do, yeah.
03:19LAUGHTER
03:19Yeah.
03:20I love that.
03:21Well, listen, whatever floats your boat, Philip,
03:23but right here in 2023, you're on television on Countdown.

06:00MUSIC PLAYS
06:17Philip?
06:18A six.
06:19Yes, and Adrian?
06:21Six.
06:21And a six.
06:22OK, Philip?
06:23So, amount.
06:25Amount, and Adrian?
06:26The same word, amount.
06:28Lovely.
06:29Six points each, the dictionary corner.
06:32Yeah, I'm always a fan of Ant-Man, the movie,
06:35and they've been talking a lot about the quantum leap.
06:38So, I've got quantum for seven.
06:40I love it.
06:40There you go.
06:41Seven with quantum.
06:42It's not rocket science, is it?
06:44Let's get numbers for the first time today.
06:46Champion always goes first.
06:48One large, please, Rachel.
06:50One large one.
06:51And therefore, five little ones coming up for you, Adrian.
06:54And for the first time today, they are four, seven, five,
06:58five, three, and a large one, 100.
07:02And your target, 242.
07:05242.
07:06Numbers up.
07:06We'll see you next time.
07:15We'll see you.
07:282-4-2.
07:38The target, Adrian?
07:402-40.
07:41Two away.
07:42Philip?
07:422-3-9.
07:44And three away goes to show.
07:46The smaller target's not always easy.
07:48Adrian, for seven points.
07:50OK, so five times four is 20.
07:52Five fours are 20.
07:54100 minus that 20.
07:5780.
07:58Times that by three.
08:00240.
08:01That's it.
08:02240.
08:03Two away.
08:042-4-2.
08:05Rachel, shoot.
08:07I mean, I've found a strange way.
08:08There may be an easier way, but if you say 100 less 5 is 95,
08:14divided by the second 5 is 19.
08:1719 plus 3 is 22, and then 7 plus 4 is 11,
08:23and if you times them together, you should get 242.
08:26Brilliant.
08:27APPLAUSE
08:27First two-time teaser of the day is Top Heroes.
08:32Top Heroes.
08:34Might he go and take a running jump?
08:36Might he go and take a running jump?
08:38MUSIC PLAYS
08:39Welcome back.
08:54Top Heroes becomes Hoopster.
08:56Might he go and take a running jump?
08:58Just a fancy name for a basketball player.

10:26And for the points?
10:27Greased.
10:28Greased.
10:29Well done.
10:30Very good.
10:31You always think lightning straight away.
10:34From Greased.
10:35Great film.
10:36Right, seven points there.
10:38What have you got over in Dictionary Corner?
10:40Well, this one's for you, Colin.
10:42Overaged.
10:44Thank you very much.
10:46I'm assuming that's not a compliment.
10:48For eight, yeah.
10:49Overaged for eight.
10:51Fantastic, Levi.
10:52More letters, please, as we enjoy this afternoon, Adrian.
10:56Off you go.
10:57A vowel, please, Rachel.
10:58Thank you, Adrian.

11:28We'll see you in half a minute.
11:29We'll see you in half a minute.
11:30We'll see you in half a minute.
11:31A hahaha.
11:37Adrian?
12:00Six.
12:01Philip?
12:02I think seven, maybe.
12:04I think seven, maybe.
12:05That is the least confident shout for a seven we've had in a long time.
12:09Adrian?
12:10A slider.
12:11Come on, believe in yourself.
12:12What is it?
12:13Like, scowled.
12:16Scowled?
12:17Scowled?
12:17Yeah.
12:18Absolutely fine, yeah.
12:20Scowl.
12:20Colin does it all the time.
12:22Oh!
12:24I'm scowling, I'm over-aged.
12:26What's going on today?
12:27Yeah, well done.
12:28Of course, scowled is there.
12:30Talk to me, Levi.
12:31There's a dodgy eight.
12:33Yeah, and you've got to correct me for this one here, Sue.
12:35Is he a scleroid?
12:36Yes.
12:37Scleroid.
12:38Not dodgy at all.
12:39Yeah, so S-C-L-E-R-O-I-D.
12:43It means having hard texture, so in certain diseases,
12:47your skin can thicken up the collagen, for example.
12:50Also used in zoology.
12:52OK.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Four eight.
12:53But, Philip, no worries at all with scowled,
12:56and you're picking these numbers.
12:57Could I have four large, please?
13:00You can, indeed.
13:01You don't sound too sure about your choice.
13:03Yeah, I'll give it a go.
13:04Give it a go.
13:05Four large, two little, that's all you can do.
13:07And the little ones are four and three.
13:10And your big ones, 50, 25, 175.
13:14And this target, 594.
13:18Five nine four.
13:19Numbers up.
13:20That's aphaology.
13:25That's how we can do it.
13:27You can do it, man.
13:29You can do it.
13:30Give it a go.
13:31And this target, get your bucket.
13:32Do-
13:35Do-
13:35Do-
13:38So-
13:39Do-
13:40Do-
13:41Do-
13:43And that's time.
13:51Philip?
13:52So, 5, 9, 7.
13:54Ooh, three away. Adrian?
13:565, 9, 3.
13:57And one away. OK, for seven points.
14:00OK, so four times three is 12.
14:02Four threes are 12.
14:03Times 50.
14:04600.
14:06And then 100 plus 75.
14:081, 7, 5.
14:09Over 25.
14:10Is 7.
14:11And subtract.
14:12For one below 5, 9, 3.
14:14Well, Philip, if you want to get into Rachel's good books,
14:16pick four large in your very first round.
14:19And definitely doable.
14:20Off you go.
14:21Yeah, a couple of ways.
14:22If you say 50 divided by 25 for two,
14:26you can then say 75 times four is 300.
14:30Take away three for 2, 9, 7.
14:32And times it by that two per 5, 9, 4.
14:34Nice.
14:37So, champion back in the lead.
14:39We just expect this of Adrian now.
14:41A roller coaster every single day, which I adore.
14:44But let's head to Dictionary Corner.
14:45Now, Levi Roots.
14:47I think we can now call you a Dictionary Corner regular.
14:49Part of the Countdown family.
14:51Because this, I think, your third time.
14:53Last time you were on,
14:55you were talking about your favourite rock and pop record.
14:57I was, which I enjoyed doing.
14:58Yeah.
14:58I distinctly remember asking you to do a sort of top five reggae tunes.
15:02Yes, you did.
15:03And I thought I'll come back, you know, with what you asked for, Colin.
15:07So, I came back with my top 11.
15:09But, you know, for me, reggae, I think if I did do a top 11 from one to 11,
15:15I think my fans would be saying, you know, I'm a bit biased here and there.
15:19So, I thought, I'm not going to do it one to 11.
15:20I'm going to do a formation, a bit like a football team.
15:23Yes.
15:23And then everybody has their own part.
15:26So, I'll start with the goalkeeper.
15:27And obviously, with the goalkeeper,
15:28it's got to be somebody that can really hold the line.
15:31And I would go for Toots and the Maytals.
15:32Because you're like, sneak it up, mister!
15:34Yes!
15:35That tune there.
15:36My favourite.
15:36The goalkeeper.
15:37And my central defenders would be Jimmy Cliff on the left of centre-back.
15:43And then I would have Desmond Decker on the right of the goalkeeper.
15:46Because Desmond Decker, amazing.
15:48Israelites, hit mech.
15:51You can get it if you really want.
15:52007 and absolutely more.
15:54So, they would be my two centre-backs.
15:56As my only midfield players, it would be UB40 on the left.
16:00Obviously, fantastic ska and reggae within the UK.
16:03And on the right, it would be the specials.
16:05The specials within the midfield.
16:07Because obviously, you know, Terry Hall was fantastic.
16:11He passed away recently.
16:12So, he had to be in there to be within the midfield of that.
16:15And within the other midfield section, more up front,
16:18the only player, the only singer here that's actually a really good player
16:22was Bob Marley.
16:23Because Marley was an absolutely fantastic midfield player.
16:26And now, the final two guys up front.
16:28Because I was kind of procrastinating about who could be the strikers up front
16:32with real top hits.
16:35And there's only two people that I can think that have had hits here in the UK
16:38and it's here in America as reggae and ska artist.
16:41So, I would have one of my strikers would definitely have to be Shaggy.
16:44Yes.
16:45And his partner would have to be Sean Paul.
16:47Sean Paul is a phenomenon sort of hit-maker within America
16:51as well as here in the UK.
16:53So, that would be my legs 11.
16:55But without putting anybody here as number one or number two
16:58is I down at the bottom.
16:59What a way to deliver your favourite reggae artist.
17:01Thank you so much.
17:05I'm going to get obsessed now with football formations
17:08in particular genres of music.
17:10That's fantastic.
17:11Right, 27 plays 20.
17:14And Adrian, back with your nose in front and you're picking.
17:17OK, a vowel, please.
17:18Thank you, Adrian.
17:19I.
17:21Add a vowel again, please.

17:51Half a minute.
17:53I'm going to read.
17:56I'm going to read.
17:58How many, Adrian?
18:24Five.
18:24And Philip?
18:25Seven.
18:27Seven, five.

18:31And loading from Philip.
18:33Yeah, very good.
18:34Darling, what have you got?
18:36Yeah, adoring.
18:37LAUGHTER
18:40That's funny.
18:42Right, so we're back even-stephens again.
18:45Wow, Philip, more letters.
18:47Can I have a consonant, please?
18:49Thank you, Philip.

19:43Give me a number, Philip.
20:01Just five.
20:01Just a five here in Adrian.
20:03Just a four.
20:05The four is?
20:06Weak.
20:07Philip?
20:07Cheek.
20:09And Cheek, fantastic.
20:10Five points for Philip.
20:12Levi?
20:13And Sue?
20:14Yeah, I've got one here for me and Adrian here that we would share together,
20:18is ketchup.
20:19Excellent.
20:20OK, numbers, third numbers round today.
20:23Of course, Adrian, you make your YouTube channel where you teach maths on that.
20:27Philip does it for a living at the City of Bristol College.
20:30So we're expecting big things in the maths rounds every time.
20:33And it's yours.
20:34OK, so one large, please, Rachel.
20:36Just the one large.
20:37Not going for anything fancy.
20:39Panic them.
20:40Let's see what we have.
20:41They are six, four, two, four, five, and 25.
20:49And the target to reach 900, maths boys.
20:53900.
20:53Off we go.
20:54We'll see you next time.
20:54We'll see you next time.
20:55Mm-hmm.
21:25Nice, easy one for people of your talent, Adrian.
21:29900.
21:29Yeah, and Philip?
21:30Yeah, 900.
21:31Good, off you go, Adrian.
21:33OK, so 5 plus 4 is 9.
21:349, that's the hard bit.
21:36Times 4?
21:3636.
21:37Times 25.
21:38900.
21:39Done.
21:39Philip?
21:40So, I did 4 times 4 is 16.
21:42OK, right, 4 times 4 is 16.
21:46Then, separately, 6 take away 2.
21:48Is the other 4.
21:494 times by 5.
21:5120.
21:5316 had 20.
21:5436.
21:5536.
21:56Times by 25.
21:57Don't get any extra points for using all the numbers,
21:59but you still get 10.
22:02How did that get so complicated?
22:04I'm going to need a break.
22:05Let's get a tea time teaser.
22:07It's Epic Elms.
22:09Epic Elms.
22:10This is so easy.
22:11Even Simon could get it.
22:12This is so easy.
22:14Even Simon could get it.
22:16Thank you for all those S's.
22:17Producer Damien.
22:17Welcome back, and I'm sure you've stayed tuned,
22:35so I have to read this again.
22:36For anyone who hasn't been watching this week,
22:38bit of a dental issue.
22:39So, I'm wearing a little cover on my teeth this week,
22:42but I wouldn't miss the show.
22:43But this is production cruelty, this one.
22:46It's so easy, even Simon could get it.
22:50Now, I don't believe it's pronounced semplice.
22:52Yes.
22:55Susie, save me here.
22:57Come on.
22:57Yes, semplice.
22:58Does that make it easier for you?
23:00Absolutely not.
23:00OK.
23:01Oh, all right.
23:02Well, in music, it is a direction meaning simple style of performance.
23:07Hence, simple Simon.
23:09In your clue.
23:10I'm glad that's over.
23:12Five points of difference.
23:13Our challenger's back in front, and you're picking these letters.
23:15So, can I have a vowel, please?
23:17Thank you, Philip.
23:18A.
23:21Consonant.
23:22S.
23:24A constant, please.
23:26R.
23:28Another constant.
23:30T.
23:32A vowel.
23:34O.
23:36Another vowel.
23:38E.
23:40A constant.
23:42G.
23:45A vowel, please.
23:48I.
23:49And a constant.
23:51And lastly, D.
23:53Let's play.
23:54Let's play.
23:54Let's play.
23:54here, такой, I'm going to stay here.
23:58I'll see you next time if you're going before.
24:00I'll be right back so soon.
24:03Hi, Hopes here. How many, Philip?
24:26A seven.
24:27A seven. Well done. And Adrian?
24:29A eight.
24:29Yeah, it feels like there's big words in there.
24:31Philip?
24:32OK.
24:32Storage.
24:33Storage. And for the eight points?
24:35Asteroid.
24:37Asteroid. Out of this world. Well done.
24:41Very good. Any other eights are beyond?
24:44Yeah, another eight is stodgier.
24:46Oh, like my cooking?
24:47Yeah.
24:47Yeah, unlike you and Adrian.
24:49Right, back in the lead, champ. More letters.
24:52Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
24:54Thank you, Adrian.
24:55M.
24:56And a vowel?
24:58E.
24:59And another vowel?
25:00A.
25:02And a consonant?
25:04P.
25:05Consonant?
25:07L.
25:09A consonant?
25:10N.
25:12And another consonant?
25:13T.
25:15And a vowel?
25:17E.
25:19And a consonant, please.
25:21Lastly, N.
25:22Tone, Tone, Tone.
25:24Tone, Tone.
25:54Give me a number, Adrian.
25:56Eight.
25:57Philip?
25:57Just five.
25:58Five's all right. What have you got?
26:00Just plant.
26:01Yeah, plant. And there it was. Beyond that?
26:04Plate men.
26:05Plate men.
26:07This is superb.
26:08We were wondering if Adrian would know all about plate men
26:10because they work in restaurants and they're in charge of the tableware.
26:14Wow.
26:14Plate men. Plate men for eight.
26:17I'm assuming you're just trying to keep up with Adrian at the moment.
26:20We were looking for plant men,
26:22but it's plants men are in the dictionary, so no luck there.
26:25Said plate men was our best, wasn't it?
26:27Yeah, I love plate men, yeah.
26:29Adrian, you've found that gear laid on in the game,
26:31just like you did yesterday.
26:3311-point lead now, four rounds to go,
26:36and origins of words, Susie.
26:38Well, I have to refer back to that day in 1884
26:41that you were talking about the first,
26:43what's called a fascicle of the Oxford English Dictionary,
26:47and that's simply a posh term for an instalment.
26:50And it was under the helm of Sir James Murray,
26:54who is extremely famous in OED history.
26:57So he was the first chief editor,
26:59sadly didn't live to see its entire completion.
27:01But it did make me think that in his day,
27:07you had to be pretty objective
27:10when it came to dictionary quotations.
27:13And this was also quite a milestone,
27:16because if you look back to Samuel Johnson,
27:17who wrote his Dictionary of the English Language in 1755,
27:21he was very open about words that he did not like.
27:26He didn't like the French at all,
27:27so he missed out things like unique, champagne, bourgeois.
27:32Didn't put those in.
27:34And we're not allowed to do that these days as lexicographers.
27:37We have to record language as it is.
27:39And this is all leading up to the most recent poll
27:43about the most disliked words in the English language.
27:46And I can't wait for the day where the M word actually is...
27:50..you know, goes down the list.
27:51But moist, unfortunately, is still there at the top.
27:54And the others are not surprising either.
27:56Yeast, mucus, fester, ooze, phlegm, flange is my favourite.
28:02It didn't make the list.
28:03But if these were in Samuel Johnson's time,
28:07he would either have refused to put them in the dictionary
28:09or he would have said a low, vulgar word
28:12that should not be allowed within these pages.
28:14Thank you very much, Suze.
28:16APPLAUSE
28:1653.42. Four rounds left.
28:21Philip, keep the faith and let's get more letters.
28:23OK, can I have a consonant, please?
28:25Thank you, Philip.
28:26B.
28:29A vowel.
28:30O.
28:33Another vowel.
28:36E.
28:37A consonant, please.
28:39T.
28:41A vowel.
28:43O.
28:45A consonant.
28:47H.
28:47Another consonant.
28:51T.
28:55A vowel.
28:57A.
29:00And a consonant, please.
29:02Lastly, S.
29:04Good luck.
29:05Isabel, it's a Shiva.
29:20.
29:22A忍空.
29:23Do you think you have a courtesy?
29:24The word is, is that did you, Jake?
29:26Do you think you have theeded word?
29:26Do you think you have the word?
29:27Do you think you like the vowel word?
29:28Do you think you like the word I though?
29:28Do you think you want the hatred do you think?
29:31Not a melon.
29:31Do you think you do or do you feel like that Rahmen?
29:32Do you think you, like you've been looking for my videos?
29:33How'd you get on, Philip?
29:37Just six.
29:38Six, and Adrian?
29:39Six.
29:40Yep, sounds about right, Philip.
29:41So, I think, booths.
29:44Booths, yeah, and Adrian.
29:45The same word.
29:46Yeah, I thought so.
29:48How'd you get on?
29:49I've been looking for hot boats, boat hosts, all sorts,
29:53but not bad.
29:54The only one that I could come up with was bathos,
29:56which is a sense of anti-climax in a book,
30:00if something goes from the sublime to the ridiculous,
30:02but no better than six.
30:04So, let's move on.
30:05Last letters round, Adrian.
30:08Consonant, please, Rachel.
30:09Thank you, Adrian.
30:10V.
30:11And a vowel.
30:13I.
30:14And a vowel.
30:16O.
30:17And a consonant.
30:19F.
30:20And a consonant.
30:22R.
30:23And a consonant.
30:25D.
30:27And a vowel.
30:29A.
30:30And a consonant.
30:32S.
30:34And a consonant, please.
30:35And a last one.
30:37C.
30:38Last letters.
30:39And a not a consonant.
30:42Here he is.
30:42And aalnız.
30:43And a consonant.
30:44And a consonant.
30:49And a consonant.
30:50He will not resist.
30:50Here he is.
30:51We are the ones who have bitten you for the first.
30:52And alace.
30:53Now, as a ace noses here.
30:55And a � Rogers company.
30:55Instead of a consonant.
30:56And a whom have other borne.
30:56And a vowel.
30:57And a vowel.
30:57And a vowel.
30:58And a vowel.
30:58And a vowel.
30:59And a vowel.
30:59And a vowel, and a vowel.
31:01And a vowel.
31:01And a vowel.
31:02Adrian, how many?
31:11Seven.
31:12Philip?
31:13Just five.
31:14No worries, the five?
31:15So, forwards.
31:17Yes, and Adrian?
31:19Cardios.
31:20Cardios.
31:21Yeah, just check you can pluralise that.
31:24You can't, unfortunately, Adrian.
31:26It's a maths noun.
31:28Cardiovascular exercise, but you cannot put the S on.
31:31Levi, how did you get on that round?
31:32Yeah, we've got a seven here.
31:34It's Corvids.
31:36Corvids?
31:36Corvids, yes, members of the Crow family.
31:38Yeah.
31:39Yeah.
31:39Very nice, very nice indeed.
31:41OK, last numbers round.
31:44Philip, you're going to choose them.
31:45You went four large last time.
31:47I think I'll just risk the six more.
31:49Yep.
31:50The other end, six little ones.
31:52Also often tricky.
31:54Let's see what we end up with here.
31:55Final numbers today.
31:56Four, five, seven, three.
32:01Five and six.
32:04And the target, 626.
32:06Six to six, numbers up.
32:08Six to six, numbers up.
32:12Six to eight, seven, eight.
32:15Six to six, number six.
32:17Four over and six, point six, point seven.
32:21Six to six, point eight.
32:21Six to six, point seven.
32:32Four over and six when you hear whenever you hear from music.
32:34Five and six.
32:35Four over and ten.
32:37Big target, which I'm not going to say again.
32:41How did you get on, Philip?
32:42I didn't get anything.
32:45Gamble was on. What about you, Adrian?
32:476-2-5.
32:48Which will get you seven points and a third win.
32:51OK.
32:53I've messed it up.
32:54I've messed it up.
32:56And the pressure tells.
32:57The pressure tells.
32:58So, this is all yours.
32:59Crucial conundrum back on, but, I mean, this fell quite nicely.
33:02If we take the six, we times it by the five for 30.
33:05We times it by the three for 90.
33:07We times that by the seven for 360.
33:11630, rather, if I could read it.
33:13And then take the four.
33:146-2-6.
33:17Right, as Rachel said, it means we're back in the crucial countdown conundrum territory.
33:22There is never a dull moment with Adrian.
33:25Can he get a third win, or will Philip take his first?
33:28Fingers on buzzers, please.
33:31Let's reveal this Tuesday afternoon, crucial countdown conundrum.
33:37Philip for the win.
33:42So, I think it's labelling.
33:45Let's have a look.
33:46Labelling.
33:47Yes!
33:47Teapot's yours.
33:53Yeah, that's good.
33:54That was my name, to be honest.
33:55So, yeah.
33:56I'm happy with that.
33:56Well done, Adrian.
33:57Listen, wonderful.
33:59You've made it so enjoyable, Friday, Monday and Tuesday.
34:02Probably not good for your heart rate, but great entertainment.
34:05Yeah, I've had a great time.
34:06Thank you very much.
34:07It's been really nice to have you.
34:08Well done, Mick.
34:09Thank you so much.
34:10Levi, tomorrow?
34:11New champion, new challenger.
34:13Yeah, new suit and everything.
34:14New suit.
34:15It's brilliant.
34:16Thank you, Suze.
34:18Hey, I tell you what, we're getting by, aren't we, with the old dental drama here.
34:22Just lucky I'm not presenting the chief.
34:25Wouldn't work.
34:26Yeah, for many reasons.
34:28We're back with Countdown tomorrow.
34:30Easy to say.
34:30Rachel, Susie and I will be here.
34:33You can count on us.
34:34You can contact the programme by email at countdown at channel4.com.
