00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to The Countdown Studio.
00:36And here we are, 26th of May.
00:38What a great time of the year it is.
00:40Time to get out and do exercises, people strolling in the park, riding bicycles.
00:46And as I get older, Rachel, I begin to feel concerned that I haven't yet taken to exercise in any shape or form.
00:57And I thought I'd have a go on a bicycle recently.
01:00And just as soon as I get the urge to go on a bike, it coincides exactly with my loss of balance.
01:09So that one's a goner.
01:10So I don't know what to do about exercise.
01:12You need to stop drinking before you get on the bike.
01:15Oh, is that what it is?
01:16Yeah.
01:16Is that what it is?
01:17But you're a big cyclist.
01:18I am indeed.
01:19I think even tomorrow you're going to get on that racing bike of yours to do what?
01:25Yep.
01:26Tomorrow's the big one.
01:27We've got the racing bike.
01:28We've got the glow-in-the-dark bra.
01:29And 3,500 ladies were doing Ride the Night.
01:32So it's a 100-kilometer cycle.
01:34Starts in Windsor Racecourse, goes all the way through London and back to Windsor Racecourse.
01:37You did this last year?
01:38We did it last year.
01:39And it's for ovarian, breast and cervical cancer.
01:43And last year, as a group, 3,000 ladies we raised, I think it was about 1.1 million pounds.
01:48Fantastic.
01:48This year, there's 3,500.
01:50So the target is 2, but we'll see if we can do it.
01:53But thank you to everyone who's supported me so far.
01:55Well, good for you.
01:57And let's hope you guys raise our fortune.
02:01Thank you, Nick.
02:01Fantastic.
02:02Now, who's back?
02:03The Moose is back.
02:04Moose Rosser, head of risk management from Halstead.
02:08Gathering pace, gathering momentum.
02:10Last two games, I think, over 100.
02:12Yep.
02:13Fantastic.
02:14And how many wins have you got now?
02:16Four.
02:17Four, I think.
02:17Yeah, halfway there.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Well done, Moose.
02:20Now, you're joined by Peter Sheridan, a writer-director from Dublin, who's awarded, and this surprised
02:25me somewhat, the Rooney Prize for Literature.
02:29This is an unknown side of Wayne.
02:32You had to wear a jersey with a number 10 on the back to get the prize.
02:36All right.
02:37So what was the Rooney Prize, and why did you win it?
02:40Well, Dan Rooney, a very rich Irish-American who owns plenty of football teams in America,
02:46decided to award a prize, a monetary prize, to a young aspiring writer in 1976.
02:53Way back then.
02:53And I was the third person to win it in 1978, and it's still going 40 years later.
02:58What had you written?
02:59I'd written a couple of plays, which had been performed in Dublin, but I was 25.
03:04I was just a young aspiring writer.
03:06Good for you.
03:06And I was very, very glad to get the acknowledgement and the recognition that the Rooney Prize afforded
03:12me.
03:12And 40 years later, I'm still working in the theatre on a full-time basis.
03:16Well, you're very welcome, Peter.
03:17Let's have a big round of applause for the Moose and Peter Sheridan.
03:22And over in the corner, of course, we have Susie, as ever, and the wonderful Dan Walker
03:29from Breakfast Television.
03:30And, of course, Sports True.
03:32Yes.
03:33Lovely to do that.
03:33I mean, that was a big move, really, because you were, that was sport and football was
03:40your thing.
03:41I think you broadcast, you still do it, to 350 million homes around the world.
03:45Yeah, you love that stat.
03:46I love it.
03:47I do a programme, obviously, do Football Focus on normal BBC channels, but I do a programme
03:51on BBC World, which if you're ever stuck in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur or some far-flung
03:56country, we're on in there.
03:58But there's a football programme on there, which we do, which goes into 398 million homes,
04:03which is a ridiculous number.
04:04It's a great number.
04:05Yeah.
04:05All right.
04:06Well done.
04:06Well done.
04:07Now then, Moose, let's get the show underway with a letters game, shall we?

08:40but it does take me to places that are hard to reach these days.
08:43It's not really a flirt, but it does take me to places that are hard to reach these days.
09:05Welcome back.
09:06I left you with the clue, it's not really a flirt,
09:08but it does take me to places that are hard to reach these days.
09:12In fact, it's a stairlift.

13:4049.
13:40Multiplied by ten.
13:41490.
13:436 minus four.
13:44Lovely.
13:45Well done.
13:47Well done.
13:4949, page 24.
13:51Moose in the lead.
13:52And we turn to Dan.
13:54Dan, what have you got for us today?
13:55I would like, Nick, to take you all to China.
13:58Please.
13:59I was there a few years ago making a documentary with a cameraman called Bob.
14:05And not dissimilar to our friend the Moose here.
14:08Bob had quite an impressive beard, a bit longer than yours, sort of down to his middle area.
14:13He was a hairy biker, but unlike the actual proper hairy bikers, he wasn't a very good chef, but he was an excellent cameraman.
14:19And the first night we were there, we were taken, because we were filming a documentary about a football team who had just sat up in China trying to get to the top division.
14:27And we were taken to this rather elaborate restaurant.
14:31And we were the only two who spoke a single word of English.
14:34I mean, I'm talking, you're not even OK, hello, nothing.
14:38So for a few hours we had some beautiful food and we sort of got by by pointing, smiling, a sort of elaborate game of Shiraz with the occasional rudimentary noise.
14:47We were really enjoying ourselves.
14:49And then, so at 11 o'clock at night, our host for the evening said a word that we all understood, karaoke.
14:56OK, so he sort of circled around everyone in the room as if to say, you've all got to take part.
15:03And Bob has got a hideous singing voice.
15:06So he looked at me and said, listen, you're going to have to take one for the team here.
15:08We've got we can't let our host down.
15:10You're going to have to represent Great Britain here.
15:13So I was, you know, the karaoke book you get and you're furiously looking through for something that you know.
15:17And most of it was in Mandarin.
15:20I didn't recognize any of the music.
15:21And I got to the final page and it said Thomas Jones, Delilah.
15:25I thought I can do that one.
15:27And eventually the microphone came around to me.
15:29So I thought, if you're going to do it, you've got to do it with confidence.
15:32You've really got to go for it.
15:33So I stood up and I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window.
15:37I went for it.
15:38I fully went for it.
15:39And on the few occasions that I opened my eyes over that sort of three and a half minutes, I just saw a sea of blank faces.
15:46Not a single reaction.
15:48No one joined in at the chorus.
15:50I mean, you joined in, wouldn't you?
15:51I would, yeah, yeah.
15:52No one joined in at the chorus.
15:53There was no applause at the end.
15:55I finished, you know, clenched fist.
15:58Not even Bob.
16:00Not even my one ally, Bob.
16:02He was just sat there in the corner giggling his head off.
16:04And there was complete, I'm not kidding you now either, there was complete and utter silence when I finished.
16:10And the guy just took the microphone off me and handed it to the next person who got a rapturous round of applause.
16:16Oh, brilliant.
16:16Normally in that situation, I'm relatively confident.
16:19But I've got to say, that has forever dented my karaoke confidence.
16:23Oh, brilliant story.
16:24Well done.
16:25Very good.
16:2949, please.
16:3024.
16:31And now, Moose, it's your letters game.
16:33Thank you, Nick.

17:53What can we do in the corner?
17:55Well, I was very happy with my eight, very overpaid,
17:57and I looked across at Lady Dent,
17:59and she had that smile on her face
18:01to let you know that she's got a cheeky nine up her sleeve.
18:03So, over to you.
18:04No, it wasn't.
18:05Not a smug one.
18:06Vaporised is there.

19:36The dogs of war. What have we got
19:38over there in the corner?
19:39You're having a very good round here, aren't you? You've got an eight again.
19:42Well, queens
19:44are in there with an A.
19:45Q-U-E-A-N-S. They are impudent
19:48or badly behaved girls, or women, at least
19:50they used to be. And to behave
19:52that way is to be queenish.
19:54Really? That's brilliant.
19:56Queenish.
19:5964 to 39. Moose in the lead
20:02and it's Moose's numbers game.

25:08moose seven a seven peter six and that six tedium tedium now then this daytime yes very good
25:22all one word well done okay 79 plays 54 as we turn back to suzy and her origins of words suzy
25:32i'm going to talk jugs and mugs uh today um from the early 1500s in england at least a very popular
25:42nickname for anyone with the name joan or joanna or jenny indeed was jug which seems rather curious
25:49to us today and jug was given to a woman especially if rather meanly she was a servant or she was
25:56slightly unattractive now quite why the next step happened we're not quite sure but when potters
26:01started to make earthenware vessels that resembled resemble pictures they gave these the names jugs
26:08of course we still call them jugs today again it's a bit of a mystery but we do know that other
26:12drinking vessels were already known as jack and jill and it was probably simply attaching terms of
26:18affection or terms of endearment to inanimate objects so you might think that mugs followed
26:23the same route perhaps coming from margaret etc but actually no mug does come from a scandinavian word
26:28originally for again an earthenware vessel or bowls or rather a wide one in the 18th century
26:36drinking mugs commonly represented a really grotesque human face in fact you can still see examples of
26:42that and in fact replicas of those today those sort of thick mugs with horrible gargoyle like faces on
26:48top of them and this is the origin of the sense of mug we still use today to mean a face as in
26:53somebody's got a an ugly mug is probably the most common combination that in turn gave rise to mug as
27:01an insult for a stupid or gullible person it's a mug's game for example finally the very nasty and
27:08violent act of mugging somebody that goes back to that sense of mug all the way back to those earthenware
27:14mugs with the grotesque human faces and in boxing to mug someone i'm not sure if it still is was to
27:20deliver to deliver a knockout punch to the face really nice very good
27:27amazing 77 to 54 and it's peter's letters game peter uh i'll start with a consonant please rachel

31:00Very good.
31:02So worth the risk.
31:03Dan, Susie?

31:09is in there.
31:09They're not keen on, I don't mind salt on chips, they're not keen on vinegar, so I'm trying
31:14my best to win them at you.
31:15Nine, seven and six.
31:17Well, give them a chance.
31:20Just trying to make sure they enjoy their chips properly, that's all.
31:22All right, Susie?
31:25No, pearling was at the top for eight.
31:27Well done.
31:28Well done.
