00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio at the very start of Two Left Feet Week.
00:39And it's of course a phrase used to describe somebody who simply can't dance, who's sort of, you know, imbalanced and looks ridiculous on the dance floor.
00:46Some say it's a myth, some people say that everybody can dance.
00:50Well, this week, everybody's going to have a go, put on your dancing shoes and see how you get on.
00:54Because apparently, Rachel, there are many benefits in dancing, physical health, weight loss, mental and emotional health and general well-being, apparently.
01:05Now, when I was young, I could dance, actually.
01:07And funnily enough, they imported a dancing mistress to this all-boys school.
01:12And of course, everybody showed up in the first week.
01:14Oh, dear.
01:14There was a huge fallout, drop-off in week two.
01:18Week three, about four of us turned up.
01:20And actually, all of us lost our nerve and couldn't face it any more.
01:24You should have carried on.
01:26Ladies love good dancers.
01:27Yeah, I could do the twist, the old chubby checkered twist.
01:30That was when I was good.
01:31We've got a floor here.
01:32We're all keen to see it.
01:34I'm not sure.
01:36Now, come on, Rachel.
01:36You've been through, you've been, you know, in the mill with Strictly.
01:41What do you reckon?
01:42What did it do for you in terms of, you know, health, weight loss, you know, emotional well-being?
01:47Oh, I had muscles I'd never had before.
01:48But I still like dancing.
01:49I still do Zumba.
01:50It's great fun.
01:51It is good for coordination and it's good for your confidence.
01:53And so it is fun.
01:55But I definitely, I've got one strong right leg and the other one just barely qualifies as a leg.
01:59It doesn't really count.
02:00I'm a little bit mal-coordinated.
02:02That won't be a surprise to many viewers.
02:05You look perfectly coordinated to me.
02:08You just need to give that other leg a little bit of, you know, a little bit of exercise, if I can put it that way.
02:13Now, we've got Liam Maloney back with us, Rachel.
02:17Liam is tremendous.
02:18He's from Galway.
02:19Three wins under his belt, all of which have been, you know, powering through the 100 mark.
02:24You know, tremendous stuff.
02:25I hope you had a quiet weekend, Liam.
02:27I did, I did.
02:28Excellent, because you've got a trying week coming up.
02:31Unless, of course, your contestant here, Craig Glennie, puts a stop to all this nonsense.
02:36Now, Craig's a retail assistant from Ellen in Aberdeenshire.
02:41Hobbies include astronomy and tracing your family history.
02:44You've just started on this.
02:44You've got to start, yes.
02:46Interesting.
02:47It's good fun.
02:48Yeah, when you can find something, yes.
02:49You all have been descended from, you know, cattle rustlers.
02:53That's the way it always works.
02:55Let's have a big round of applause for Liam and Craig Glennie.
02:58And over in the corner, after a peaceful weekend, we have, of course, the wonderful Susie Dent.
03:06And Jenny's back with us.
03:07Yes.
03:08Jenny's back with us.
03:09Have you had a pleasant time?
03:10I've had, yes.
03:11I also rested over the weekend, knowing that I was coming back here.
03:15But you're working so hard as well.
03:17You're shortly off on yet another, well, in the autumn, I think, off on a whirlwind tour.
03:23A solo tour, yes.
03:23How many dates?
03:25Oh, 792.
03:28I've no idea.
03:28I don't look.
03:29You look at the first week and that makes you a bit hot and bothered.
03:32You think, well, don't look beyond there.
03:34I might not make it.
03:36Now then, Liam, get me out of this tangle with letters game, will you?
03:41I will.
03:41Hi, Rachel.
03:42Hi, Liam.

04:59I'm also scatier.
05:00What could be scatier than that?
05:02Jenny Eclair could be.
05:03Jenny?
05:03Yes, because I've just got static.

06:39And in the corner.
06:41Rebuilds, he could have as well.
06:43And another eight is from American Football.
06:46It's audibles.
06:48And audibles are changes of playing tactics called by the quarterback at the line of scrimmage.
06:54Oh, yes.

08:07Yes, Craig.
08:08Exactly.
08:09Yep. Like-minded.
08:12All right.
08:14So, 26 to 18, as we go into a tea-time teaser,
08:18which is such, able.
08:21And the clue, he's a priest,
08:23and as such, he's able to wear this.
08:26He's a priest, and as such, he's able to wear this.
08:46Welcome back.
08:47I left you with a clue.
08:48He's a priest, and as such, he's able to wear this.
08:51He's able to wear a chasuble.
08:55Now, a chasuble, part of the vestments, I guess.
08:57Yes.
08:58What is it, and where does it come from?
08:59It's the sleeveless outer vestments.
09:01It's a little bit like a tunic,
09:03worn by high Anglican priests and also Roman Catholic priests.
09:06It comes from the late Latin casula, meaning a hooded cloak,
09:13and ultimately it goes back to casa, meaning house,
09:17because as well as a hooded cloak,
09:18it could mean a little cottage as well.
09:20Heavens.
09:21Well, where will it stop?
09:22It's quite circuitous, yeah.
09:23Thank you very much indeed.

10:37Risky seven.
10:39How about Liam?
10:39Save six.
10:41And your six?
10:42Saloon.
10:43Saloon plays Walloons.
10:47Ooh.
10:47Um, I did actually look up Walloon.
10:50And unfortunately it needs a double L and it's also capitalised.
10:54So, um, we both failed on that one, I'm a friend.
10:56That, that's about, um, the people who live in, um, eastern Belgium.
11:00That's right.
11:00Walloons.
11:01The phlems and the walloons.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Um, so no can do on that one, I'm afraid.

11:10Yes.
11:11With shawl.
11:12Oh, shawl.
11:13Fine.
11:14Susie?
11:14Um, we just got another six, which was halons.
11:17Um, they are unreactive gaseous compounds of carbon.
11:20Not as exciting as saloons.
11:22No, possibly not.

12:51Very good. What else have you got? Jenny?
12:53I've got lathed. Yeah, a lathe.
12:56Interesting. Have you ever used a lathe?

13:00Yes. And he lathed.
13:03With wood. He was lathed.
13:05It's a sort of action, isn't it?

14:3949 plays at 18 as we turn to Jenny.
14:42And Jenny, what have you got for us today?
14:44I'm going to tell you a pig joke today.
14:45Good.
14:47OK, so this pig goes into a pub and he asks the barman for a rum and coke.
14:53He's over 18 in pig years and the barman gives him a rum and coke
14:56and the pig then says, may I now use your lavatories?
14:59The barman says, help yourself.
15:01Pig does that, trots off home.
15:03Next day, another pig comes into the pub.
15:05May I have a rum and coke?
15:06Barman says, yes, help yourself.
15:08And then goes to the bathroom, fine, trots off home.
15:11Then the third pig on the third day comes in.
15:13May I have a rum and coke?
15:15Yes, of course you may.
15:16And then the barman says, and now I suppose you want to use my lavatories?
15:20And this little pig says, no, I'm the one that goes wee, wee, wee all the way home.
15:25Did you hear it grow?
15:31I can't believe it.
15:32I don't know whether I can work with these people.
15:35I think we could sweep them out.
15:37That was terrible.
15:38I love that wee, wee joke.
15:39It was a great joke and you'll all be telling it tomorrow.
15:44Very good.

17:08Ah.
17:08If you're at it again, Liam.
17:10Apneic.
17:11I know what it means.
17:12I do know what it means.
17:13It means that you snore.
17:14You can snore yourself to death.
17:16Yes.
17:16It's all to do with the cessation of breathing, isn't it?
17:19Apnea.
17:20Um.
17:20And it is absolutely brilliant.
17:25Very good.
17:26Very good.
17:29Um, Craig, I'm afraid it's either pumice, as in the pumice stone,
17:32or pomace, which is the residue left after cider-making,
17:35but, um, not pumice.
17:37It's not there, I'm afraid.
17:39Oh, bad luck.
17:40Bad luck.
17:40So, Craig, now, your letters go.

19:01Ratters.
19:02Rotters.
19:03What a bunch of rotters.
19:04Rotters, yes, that's fine.
19:05Nothing wrong with that?
19:06Nothing.
19:07Jenny?
19:07Can we have ratters?
19:09Only because I met a cab driver the other day
19:13who started his working life as a 14-year-old rat catcher in London.
19:17Yeah.
19:18And he had two dogs and a gun.
19:21And when he killed the rats,
19:22he had to take the tails to the town hall
19:24to be counted for his money.
19:26Oh, yes.
19:27No, that used to go on.
19:28Yeah.
19:28You have a great dog that's a rat or a cat, can't you?
19:32It's in the dictionary.
19:33I'm not keen on rats, personally.
19:3563 to 25.
19:37Liam's there, all right.
19:38And it's now Liam's numbers game.
19:41One from the top, please, Rachel, and five small ones.
19:44Thank you, Liam.
19:45One large, five little.
19:47And for this round, your little ones are eight, two, one, four, and five.
19:55And the big one, 50.
19:57And the target, oh, dear, 250.
20:00Two hundred and fifty.
20:02250.
20:32BUZZER
20:34Liam?
20:35250.
20:36Well done. And Craig?
20:38250.
20:39Good. Just tell us how it all happened. Liam?
20:425 by 50.
20:44I thought you might say that. I'm having a rest.
20:46All right.
20:47And Craig, we take that as red, shall we?
20:49Yeah.
20:50All right, well done.
20:51So, 73 plays, 35, as we go into a tea-time teaser,
20:54which is Abbott era.
20:56And the clue, Hull 1, Crew 0.
20:59Hull 1, Crew 0.
21:02BUZZER
21:04Welcome back. I left you with the clue, Hull 1, Crew 0.
21:22The witty one, produced by our esteemed producer,
21:27and the answer is Bare Boat.
21:30Susie, Bare Boat.
21:31Very clever.
21:32Well, it's a boat or ship, a Hull, but hired without a crew.
21:36Yes.
21:37That was Bare Boat.
21:38Yes. I had an argument about it with him, but he won.
21:41He read me the definition.
21:44I thought it was without sales.
21:46Anyway, there we are.
21:4873 to 35.
21:50Liam's certainly in the lead here as we go into the final part.
21:55Craig, let us go.

24:44Liam.
24:45Roaming.
24:46Roaming and?
24:47Marking.
24:48And marking.
24:49Roaming and marking.
24:50Yes.
24:51Yes.
24:52Now, what else have we got in the corner?
24:54Jenny?
24:55I didn't.
24:57Apart from roaming and marking, which this one got very quickly, I couldn't get beyond.
25:03What have you got, Susie?
25:04Well, I have got a four, but it's a four that I only learnt quite recently.
25:08It's an American term, and it's grok, G-R-O-K, and that means to understand something intuitively or by empathy.
25:15Are you allowed it?
25:16A strange sounding word.
25:17You can have it.
25:17It's in the dictionary.
25:18Is it?
25:19Yeah.
25:19Grok.
25:19Just for four.
25:20Grok.
25:21I think we should avoid that word.
25:22It's a horrible word.
25:23Okay.
25:24Grok.
25:24Don't you think?
25:26Bleh.
25:27Bleh.
25:27Can't have that.
25:2988 to 42.
25:31Susie, we're back with you.
25:33He said grokkily.
25:36At your wonderful origins of words.
25:38Now, speak to us.
25:39Well, I was talking on Friday, Nick, about Tyburn, which was the notorious place in London in the 18th century, which was a place of execution.
25:49It attracted thousands and it attracted thousands and thousands of spectators, not very nice at all, but it's linked to another expression in English, possibly.
25:58It's our best bet for the origin of Jack the lad, because we think there was probably one original Jack the lad.
26:05Of course, today it's somebody who's a bit carefree, a bit mischievous, and usually constantly in trouble.
26:10But the original lad may have been one Jack Shepard, and he was born in London Spitalfields in 1702, and he was, by all accounts, an adventurer and a bit of a Casanova.
26:20And thanks to his exploits, which crept into the popular imagination and the popular ballads of their time, his name really became a byword for mischievous exploits.
26:34And he was arrested again and again.
26:37He was the Bette Noire, if you like, of the police force, London police force at the time.
26:40He was imprisoned four times, and each time managed to make the most spectacular escape.
26:45On one occasion, apparently, he was handcuffed and manacled to the floor and in solitary confinement.
26:52He managed, so legend goes, to get a saw, to saw his way through the floor, escape through the cellars, then somehow get up onto the roofs and basically escape.
27:04But sadly, on his fifth attempt to escape, he was captured and was finally hanged on the gallows at Tyburn in front of apparently 200,000 people.
27:13It's the sort of crowds that are detracted. And he is our best guess.
27:16Very often, these expressions in English, they don't actually have a particular person behind them.
27:21It's just used generically.
27:23But in the case of Jack the Lad, we think it was this one, Jack Shepard, and his fate at Tyburn.
27:28Well, well, well.
27:30Jack Shepard.
27:33There we go. 88 to 42.
27:35Liam's there, OK? And it's Craig's letters game. Craig.
27:40Constance, please, Rachel.
27:41Thank you, Craig.
27:41S
27:42And another
27:44M
27:46And another
27:48Y
27:50And a fourth
27:52S
27:54And a vowel, please
27:56E
27:57And a second
28:00I
28:01And a third
28:03O
28:04And a consonant
28:08Another S
28:10And a final vowel, please
28:13And a final I
28:16Countdown
28:17After
28:23Let's go J
28:37We'll be back home
28:38We'll be back home
28:42As we expect Maps and lässt
28:43Well, Craig?
28:49Six.
28:50Six.
28:51Liam?
28:52Seven.
28:53So, Craig?
28:54Misses?
28:55Nothing.
28:57Meiosis.
28:58Meiosis.
28:59How are you spelling it, first of all?
29:01M-E-I-O-S-I-S.
29:03Absolutely brilliant.
29:05I have to say, this is a new one on me.
29:06It's a term from biology, and it's about cell division and chromosomes.
29:11Very complicated definition, but it is absolutely brilliant.
29:14Well done, indeed.
29:15Yes.
29:15Very good.
29:16Well done.
29:19You can sort of count on Liam.
29:21Now then, Jenny.
29:22Well, it was a guess, but it sounds similar, but it's spelt differently.
29:25Meiosis with an M-Y-O-S-I-S.
29:28Yes.
29:29Yeah.
29:30And that's all about constriction of the pupil of the eye.
29:33Is it right?
29:33So that is a medical condition.
29:35It's absolutely brilliant.
29:36It's one less than Liam, so we didn't beat him.
29:38Very good.
29:38And now, Liam, final letters game for you.
29:42Good luck.
29:42Consonant, please, Rachel.

30:30Well, Liam, six.
30:50A six, Craig.
30:52Six.
30:53Liam.
30:54Warren.
30:55Warren and...
30:57Barron.
30:59Barron, yes.
31:00Absolutely fine.
31:01And any improvements on six?
31:04No, I've got Braver, which is six.
31:07Mm.
31:08Burner, Warner, quite a lot of sixes there, Nick, but we can get beyond.
31:11Nothing to stretch it beyond that.
31:13All right.
31:14So, 101, Liam, you've done it again, just as we move to Craig and a numbers game.
31:21Inverted T again, please, Rachel.
31:23Thank you, Craig.
31:24Inverted T, one from the top again, and five little ones.
31:27And these little ones are one, five, one, eight, three.

31:56The target, 10915.
32:02And the target.
32:03Then the target, 1017.
32:04So, what's that?
32:05Yes, Greg.
32:12915.
32:13No surprise, Liam.
32:14915.
32:16Greg.
32:178 plus 1 is 9.
32:18It is.
32:19Times 100.

32:24Yep, 9, 15.
32:25And Liam, same way?
32:26Same way?
32:28Yep.
32:29OK.
32:30Very well.
32:32Final round, gentlemen.
32:34Final round.
32:35Conundrum time.
32:36Liam, Greg, fingers on buzzers.
32:38Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
32:46Yes, Liam?
32:48Perfuming.
32:49Perfuming.
32:51Perfuming.
32:52There we go.
32:57Wow.
32:59You've done it again, Liam, with a score of 121,
33:03which is, I think, your highest score since you've been with us.
33:05Yeah.
33:06And the highest score of the series so far.
33:08So, cracking performance.
33:10Craig, you did very well.
33:1158 when you were up against this gentleman here.
33:14So, Craig, it's back to Ellen in Aberdeenshire
33:17with a goodie bag and our very best wishes to you.
33:20We shall see you tomorrow.
33:22Will do.
33:23Tremendous performance.
33:24Well done.
33:24Well done, indeed.
33:26Sadly, we must say farewell to Jenny,
33:29because I understand that you've got to prepare for your show.
33:33Are you taking your Fifty Shades of Beige back on the road?
33:37Fifty Shades of Beige?
33:38The recent Grumpy Show goes back on the road next spring.
33:43Brilliant stuff.
33:43My word, you do work so hard.
33:45What am I doing here?
33:47Come and see us doing the game.
33:49Susie, see you tomorrow.
33:50See you tomorrow, Nick.
33:51And Rachel.
33:52Well, I think we should go dancing, Nick.
33:54Two left feet night.
33:55Week.
33:56No, it's worth, you know, please, you need to look after your toes.
34:00You don't want me clumping all over you.
34:01I don't know, I know, a good gay night in black porn on Monday night.
34:06Oh, really?
34:06I've thrown some shapes there before, yeah, let's go.
34:09All right, then.
34:10But in the meantime, we shall see you tomorrow
34:12when Mr Maloney will be back to entertain us.
34:16Lovely.
34:16What a player.
34:17Without any dancing.
34:18Without any dancing.
34:19All right, see you tomorrow.
34:20See you tomorrow.
34:20Join us again tomorrow.
