00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:33Now, I'm sure that many of us, most of us maybe, have heard about the five-second rule.
00:38And that is that if you drop some food on the ground, as long as you pick it up and eat it within five seconds,
00:45or at least pick it up within five seconds, it's OK.
00:48Well, that's sort of OK, according to a professor of applied microbiology at Aston University.
00:54But he says there are variances.
00:56For instance, he says crisps, dry toast and biscuits could be given much longer than five seconds,
01:03but please not sticky sweets or cooked pasta.
01:07I don't know what people are dropping all this food on the floor.
01:10Apparently, tiled floors are dirtier than carpets, which I find rather surprising.
01:16What's your view on all this?
01:17I think five-second rule is just something you say if you drop something and someone's around.
01:21Otherwise, it's anyone's game, you know.
01:23Anyone's looking, you eat what you like.
01:25I suppose so.
01:26There's dogs, though, because then there's the dog hair, and the dog might get there quicker than you can.
01:29Almost certainly, yeah, or the cat or whatever.
01:32Yep.
01:32There we are.
01:33Now, who's with us, Rachel?
01:34None other than Tom Chafer-Cook, who had a brilliant debut at 100 and what, was it?
01:41117, I think.
01:42Fantastic score.
01:43Exceptional first outing.
01:45Now, Tom, you're joined today by Bobbi Ramsami, a retired university dean from Lye in Kent.
01:53She was the dean of the Faculty of Health at the University of Greenwich.
01:57What do you think about this five-second rule?
02:00Is it sort of something that we should...
02:02I believe in it.
02:03You think it's OK?
02:04Explicitly, yes.
02:05Now, what's all this golf I've been hearing about?
02:08Bobbi, you're a keen golfer, obviously.
02:10Yeah, very keen.
02:11And what happened recently?
02:13On Wednesday, I had my very first hole-in-one.
02:16Brilliant.
02:17Yes.
02:18That's wonderful.
02:18We're going to give you a big round of applause.
02:22It's something you will never, ever forget.
02:24Brilliant.
02:25Well, let's hope that you never, ever forget your first visit to the Countdown studio.
02:29Big round of applause for Bobbi and Tom.
02:36And over in the corner, Susie, of course, but also Susie Perry, TV and radio presenter,
02:42Motorsport Queen.
02:43It's great to have you back.
02:44Thank you very much.
02:45Nice to be here.
02:48Now then, what shall we do?
02:50Tom, letter's time for you.
02:52Good afternoon, Rachel.
02:53Afternoon, Tom.
02:54Could I start with a consonant, please?

04:06And your six?
04:07Tokes.
04:09Tom?
04:10Goutiest.
04:13Be an unpleasant thing to be, but you can be the goutiest person in the room.
04:17Yes.
04:18Good one.
04:19Very, very good.
04:20Well done.
04:26What news from the corner?
04:28The news is that Tom's gone one better than us.
04:30Yes.
04:31We thought we'd done quite well with Gutties.
04:33Gutties being?
04:35Plimpsals.
04:36Lots of regional words for plimpsals, like fannies, and Gutties is another.
04:40Gutties is from where, then?
04:41Scotland, is it?
04:43Yes, it's Scotland and Northern England, so all around England.
04:46Oh, OK.
04:48Now, Bobby, your first letters game.
04:50Hello, Rachel.
04:51Hi, Bobby.

06:17Things unsaid.
06:18Need something unsaid.
06:18Very, very good.
06:20Now, Susie, or indeed Susie Dent.
06:23We haven't done very well here.
06:25Snack for five.
06:27Yes.
06:28Yeah, unsaid was about as good as it got, I think.
06:32I was looking at Scandi, but of course it's a capital S.
06:34Yeah, sadly.
06:36All right, well, well done.
06:3714 points to Tom, and it's Tom's numbers game now.
06:41Tom?
06:42An inverted T, please, Rachel.
06:43Thank you, Tom.
06:44One from the top and five little ones.
06:47And the first numbers game of the day is two, eight, three, another three, five, and 100.
06:55And the target, 229.
06:58Two to nine.
06:59Good, what we are.
07:00Give your way.
07:00So thank you, Tom.
07:01I'm going to make a speech.
07:11One from the top and five.
07:13You can break the speech.
07:15You will number one, two.
07:16You'll number one.
07:17No, you won't.
07:18Always.
07:18You will number one over, three, five, and two, three.
07:22Tom?
07:32I've got 229 not written down.
07:35And Robbie?
07:35I've got 230.
07:37All right, let's hang with Tom for the moment then.
07:40Tom?
07:42100 times 2.
07:44200.
07:468 times 3.

07:51Well done.
07:52So, we have our first tea-time teaser, which is under deal.
08:01And the clue, he passed all the illegal monies through his dry cleaning company.
08:05He passed all the illegal monies through his dry cleaning company.
08:10And the answer to that one is laundered, of course.
08:36Laundered.

10:02What if it's the same nine?
10:03Bobby.
10:04Batteries.
10:05Batteries and?
10:07Batteries as well.
10:08Well done.
10:10Well done.
10:12Very good.
10:13And the corner.
10:14You had batteries?
10:15We did.
10:16Very last minute, though.
10:16I think we were pipped to the post on that one.
10:19Very good.
10:20All right.
10:20Batteries.
10:21Yeah.
10:21Congratulations.
10:2242 plays 18.
10:24And it's Tom's letters game now.
10:26Tom.
10:27Start with a consonant, please.
10:29Thank you, Tom.
10:30W.
10:32And another.
10:34D.

11:06And a vowel.
11:28Yes, Tom?
11:38Just a six.
11:39Six. And Bobby?
11:40I think I got a seven.
11:42Right. So, Tom?
11:44Iodine.
11:45And Bobby?
11:47Domini.
11:48Domini, absolutely excellent.
11:50Yes, Scottish word for a schoolmaster, or in the US, it's a pastor or clergyman.
11:55Well done.
11:55Well done.
11:58Very good. And in the corner?
12:02We also had Domini, and then Susie came up with women.
12:07Women, yes, with the non-standard spelling, so W-I-M-M-I-N, that would be there for six.
12:12Women. Sort of private eye. Kicked that one off, I think.
12:16Yes, or some feminists have adopted it, haven't they, to avoid the men bit.
12:20Yes, all right.
12:22So, 42 plays. Bobby now on 25. Very good. And it's Bobby's numbers game now. Bobby?
12:27Thank you. Might I have one large and the rest small?
12:31You might indeed. Of course, thank you, Bobby. One big one. And five little ones. And for
12:36this round, they are three, six, nine, another six, seven. I've bought, given an extra one,
12:44pop that back. And 75. If only I could learn to count to six. The target are 509.
12:495-0-9.
12:505-0.
12:526- hydraulic.
12:547-0.
12:568-0.
12:577-0.
12:586-0.
13:027-0.
13:037-0.
13:048-0.
13:09Bobby.
13:215.10.
13:23One away, Tom.
13:255.09.
13:265.09. Let's hear from you.
13:29OK, 75 plus 9.
13:3275 plus 9, 84.
13:34Multiplied by 6.
13:36By 6 is 504.
13:37And then 6 divided by 3 is 2.
13:41The other 6 is 2.
13:44And then 7 minus that 2 is 5.
13:47Yeah, and you haven't used any of those.
13:50Well done. 5.09.
13:51Well done, Tom.
13:54Very good. 52 days. 25 as we turn to...
13:57Susie, you've travelled the world lots of times, basically.
14:02Is there any one country that you have a particular connection with, do you think?
14:06Ah, so many places that I love.
14:09I love South Africa for its incredible wildlife and amazing vistas when you travel around.
14:15It's so beautiful.
14:16But my connection, probably, my heart's always in Japan.
14:21And Japan is, you know, maybe not so popular in some ways.
14:24But I would encourage people to have a look at it and go, because it's very mystical, very magical.
14:30Oh, wonderful.
14:31Wonderful.
14:31And such a markedly different culture.
14:34So to, you know, dip your toes into that.
14:37Well, that's what was so great, Nick, really, about it.
14:39And going back to the early 90s, when I was over there, there were no signs in English.
14:44Yeah.
14:44You know, no one really spoke English.
14:46So you were really struggling.
14:47You really had to sometimes think a little bit out of the box.
14:50How can I get to here?
14:51And we'd be given our addresses on pieces of paper, but it would be a map, because they
14:57didn't have an address system.
14:58They didn't have a postal system.
14:59Brilliant.
15:00And did you make friends easily, quickly?
15:02Were you embraced in, you know, a short time?
15:05Or was it a bit of a struggle to make friends?
15:07No.
15:07Well, it's always a little bit more difficult when you've got a language barrier.
15:11Sure.
15:12Isn't it, really?
15:12But I made friends with all of the people that I was working with straight away.
15:16And then we did have some Japanese friends, because we were trying to learn some of the
15:19language.
15:20Sure.
15:20But as you'll be aware, you know, the words, a lot of the words are really long.
15:24Yeah.
15:24And they have different, so many different words from one of our words, like, thank you.
15:29It's polite for us to say thank you.
15:31And you can say in Japanese, you can say domo, which is sort of more like thanks.
15:35Domo arigato, which probably everybody's heard of, which is thank you very much.
15:39But then they have a super polite form, which is domo arigato gozae meshta.
15:44And, you know, that's just thank you.
15:46So when you're starting to speak Japanese, it's very complicated.
15:50And I did pick up a reasonable level of it, but not as much as I would have liked, sadly.
15:55Wonderful thing to have done.
15:56Oh, brilliant.
15:59APPLAUSE
16:04All right.
16:04So 52 plays Bobby's 25, and it's Tom's letters game now.
16:10Tom.
16:11Start with a consonant, please.

19:03Yes.
19:04You had devotes as well.
19:05Yeah.
19:06An anagram of shouted is southed.
19:10To south is there as a verb to move towards the south.
19:13So the wind southed a point or two.

23:02Oh, even if you fanny around, you can't be a fannier, I'm afraid.
23:05It's not in the dictionary.
23:07It is a shame.
23:08All right.
23:09Now, Susie?
23:09Yeah, we had Infernal, too, and that was about it.
23:13That's it?
23:14Yeah.
23:14Well done.
23:15All right.
23:1684 to 42, Tom.
23:18Take it away.
23:19It's a letters game.
23:21Start with a consonant, please.
23:22Thank you, Tom.
23:24B.
23:25And another?
23:27S.
23:29And another?
23:31She.
23:33And a vowel, please.
23:35I.
23:37And another?
23:39A.
23:41And another?
23:43E.
23:45A consonant, please.
23:47W.
23:49A vowel.
23:52O.
23:54And a final consonant, please.
23:58And a final R.
23:59Stand by.
24:00Stand by.
24:30Yes, Tom?
24:32I'll try a seven.
24:33A seven, Bobby?
24:34I'm going to stick with a six.
24:36Yep.
24:37Bobby?
24:38Bogies.
24:39Bogies.
24:39And Tom?
24:41Biowars.
24:43Ah.
24:45Biogas was there.
24:48Yes.
24:49Oh.
24:50Hang on.
24:51No, it is there.
24:52Sorry.
24:52Complicated definition here.
24:53It says there's a math noun.
24:54It means biological warfare.
24:56That's biowar.
24:57But there's a count noun.
24:58In other words, you can put the S on.
24:59It's a conflict involving the use of biochemical weapons.
25:02Very good.
25:03Very good.
25:08Very good.
25:09And anything else in the corner?
25:10Susie?
25:11There's a seven earwigs.
25:13Earwigs, yeah.
25:14Not a nice thought, but earwigs.
25:16Or there was the six orgies.
25:20So much better.
25:20Pleasure.
25:21Now then, 91 plays, 42.
25:24Tom in the lead.
25:24And we look to Susie for her origins of words.
25:28Susie?
25:28We'll have to thank Louise Prout, who emailed in and said, what's the story behind the term
25:33cop-out?
25:35Which is a good question.
25:37And we have to look to the verb to cop, meaning to catch, which began to emerge in the 18th
25:43century.
25:43And it was a twist, if you like, on a Northern English dialect word, cap, which meant to capture
25:48or arrest.
25:50That, in turn, goes all the way back to the Romans word, capere, which meant to take or
25:55to seize.
25:55That, of course, gave us capture and captive, as well as capable.
25:59Because if you're capable of doing something, you're capable of sort of taking it in, if
26:04you like, and taking it upon yourself.
26:06So a copper was a capture.
26:09And in the 1840s, of course, it became a slang term for a police officer who was intent upon
26:14catching criminals.
26:16And it's why apprehended villains, of course, began in the same period to declare their capture
26:21as being a fair cop.
26:23So to cop-out came to mean making a full confession for a crime or a misdemeanor, if you like,
26:30usually to the same coppers who had made the arrest.
26:34And from there, it was only a short step to our current sense of cop-out, which is backing
26:38down or surrendering, or by extension, perhaps taking the easy way out.
26:44One person who regularly copped was the fall guy.
26:48And that was the person who took the rap or took the fall for someone else.
26:51So they were a scapegoat.
26:52And it fitted into a whole line of fall items, including fall money, which was a stash of
26:57money that was put aside for the fall guy or criminal while he or she was in jail.
27:03So the fall guy had taken the rap for wealthier or more powerful colleagues, and then would
27:07expect to receive the fall money when they came out.
27:11And finally, talking of the rap, taking the rap, that is related to the idea simply of
27:15wrapping someone on the knuckles, which was a punishment, of course, which for hardened
27:20criminals who refused to cop-out, it was a lot worse than that.
27:24Very good.
27:26Well done.
27:32Very good indeed.
27:33Thank you, Susie.
27:34So, 91 to 42.
27:36It's Bobby.
27:37Bobby's chance to score with the letters game.
27:41A vowel, please, Rachel.
27:43Thank you, Bobby.
27:44U.
27:45And another vowel.
27:47E.
27:47A third vowel.
27:50I.
27:51And a four.
27:53E.
27:54And a consonant.
27:57L.
27:59Another consonant.
28:01D.
28:03And another one.
28:05L.
28:07And another one.
28:09N.
28:10And a final consonant.
28:14And a final S.
28:16Tone tone.
28:16So,
29:2098 to 42.
29:21Look at this.
29:2298.
29:23Final letters game.
29:24Tom.
29:25I'll start with the consonant, please.
29:27Thank you, Tom.
29:29D.
29:30And another.
29:31T.
29:33And another.
29:35P.
29:36And a vowel, please.
29:39I.
29:40And another.
29:41E.
29:42And another.
29:43E.
29:44And another.

29:46And a consonant.

29:52And a vowel.
29:53A.
29:54A.
29:55And a final consonant, please.
29:57And a final P.
29:59Stand by.
30:00A consonant, please.
30:01And a final P.
30:02Stand by.
30:03Oh,
30:08Again.
30:09Yes, Tom?
30:37Eight.
30:38An eight.
30:39Bobby?
30:39Seven.
30:41And that's seven?
30:42Toppled.
30:44Now, Tom?
30:45Petaloid.
30:47Absolutely brilliant.
30:48Yes, it is the adjective simply relating to petal, or one of.
30:53Petaled is the other one, and obviously used in more specialist botanical context, but
30:58excellent.
30:59Well done.
31:01Well done.
31:05Another great performance.
31:07It takes you over 100, 106, and time to go.
31:11Now, the Susies.
31:13Well, Tom's beaten us again, actually.
31:15We had tadpole and plaited, as in hair plaited.
31:19Plaited, all right, and tadpoles.
31:20Well done.
31:21All right.
31:22106 plays, 42, into the final numbers game.
31:25Bobby?
31:25Um, one large, and the rest small.
31:28Thanks, Rachel.
31:29Thank you, Bobby.
31:30One big five.
31:31Little for the final one of the day.
31:33And these little ones are five, eight, two, ten, and another ten, and the big one 100.
31:41And this target, 145.
31:45One four five.
31:46We'll see you next time.
32:13Bobby.
32:181, 4, 5.
32:19Thank you, Tom.
32:211, 4, 5.
32:21There we go.
32:22And Bobby.
32:24100 plus 10 plus 10 times 2.
32:294, 40.
32:311, 40 plus 5.
32:351, 4, 5.
32:36Lovely.
32:37There we go.
32:37And Tom.
32:39I did 8 times 5 is 40.
32:42Yeah.
32:4310 divided by 2 is 5 to add on and add the 100.
32:47Yeah.
32:47Nice and straightforward.
32:49Well done.
32:51So as we go into the final round, as we go into the final round, Tom stands at 116.
32:58Fantastic score.
32:59And Bobby on 52.
33:00Good stuff.
33:02But we've still got the conundrum to deal with.
33:04So fingers on buzzers, please.
33:05Let's roll today's countdown conundrum.
33:08Yes, Tom.
33:14Is it immovable?
33:16Immovable.
33:17Let's see.
33:18Here we go.
33:20Immovable.
33:20Fantastic.
33:21Whoa.
33:21Oh, Bobby Ramsammer.
33:29You came on the wrong day.
33:30I did.
33:31Fantastic performance.
33:33Wasn't it, though?
33:33I think he's a future octo champ.
33:35I think you may well be right.
33:37Thank you so much for coming.
33:38Take your goodie bag back to Lye.
33:41And good luck with your next round of golf.
33:43Thank you very much.
33:43All right.
33:44And I hope you'll remember us fondly.
33:46I shall do.
33:46Very fondly.
33:47Thank you for coming.
33:48Well, Tom, that's fantastic.
33:51But now we're going to have to get on, of course, with the final.
33:53So look after yourself and you come back in the same form as you leave us because it's terrific.
34:00Well done.
34:02Ah.
34:03Isn't he amazing?
34:04He's on fire.
34:05We have notes passing going.
34:06Yeah.
34:06I know.
34:07Couldn't believe it.
34:07He's amazing.
34:08All right.
34:09We'll see you tomorrow.
34:10That's when we kick off the finals.
34:12Great.
34:12For two Susies and Rachel too, of course.
34:14Yeah.
34:14It's normally the time where I get a break because the champions come back and they're
34:17too good.
34:17But I've had a break the last couple of days as well.
34:19So I think Tom's about to see his future.
34:21Indeed.
34:22Possibly the next set of finals he might be in.
34:24Down to business tomorrow, though.
34:25Absolutely.
34:26All right.
34:26Join us then.
34:27We begin the finals.
34:29Same time, same place.
34:30You'll be sure of it.
34:30A very good afternoon.
