00:00To be continued...
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio, where we host our first semi-final.
00:36And today's the day when we find out who will make the final.
00:40My word. We've seen some wonderful players, some impressive players, reaching the absolute heights of Countdown possibility.
00:48And talking about heights, we'll talk about buildings and high buildings and the Empire State Building,
00:56which was built, I think, in the 20s, but it was the tallest building until the 70s, actually.
01:02Lofty 381 metres. That's when it pierced the Manhattan skyline.
01:07But since then, of course, we've had some extraordinary buildings built.
01:11In London, we've had the Shard, and there's a new one that's being thrown up.
01:16That's rather careless verb to use, but it's in Saudi Arabia, it's in Jeddah, and it'll be called the Jeddah Tower.
01:21And it actually goes up 1,000 metres, a kilometre, into the sky. 200 floors. It's fantastic.
01:28I think there's quite a lot of room in Jeddah, actually.
01:30And so these big buildings have become sort of statements of ego and prestige.
01:35But actually what it's also done, which is the great side of it, is it's given the architects their heads.
01:40And some of those tall buildings now are spectacular.
01:43I've been right to the top of the Shard, which is wonderful.
01:49Have you been to the Shard, or any taller building, even?
01:52I'm not keen on heights. I have been up, but it's quite interesting what you're talking about with the architecture,
01:56because they reckon, I think, by 2050, there'll be 9 billion of us, and most of us, we're living in cities.
02:00So there's even talk of vertical farming, and the kind of inventions they're coming up with with these new buildings are pretty impressive.
02:07But I'd rather see them from the ground, personally.
02:09Oh, heights are...
02:11Yeah, 200 floors in that building.
02:12I know.
02:13I mean, yeah, you can keep that.
02:14All right.
02:15Now, we've got some brilliant people with us today, Rachel.
02:18We've got Stephen Reid, maths tutor from Limb, number one seed, defeated James Slater in his quarterfinal last week.
02:25But how are you feeling?
02:26I'm feeling OK.
02:28You OK? You're a calm, cool customer, I think.
02:30Yeah, I reckon I have to be on form to beat Annie.
02:33I think so.
02:33Well, Annie's here, as we know.
02:35Retired teacher from Basildon performed strongly in her quarterfinal yesterday, beating Elliot Mack.
02:41Can she repeat that feat and knock out the number one seed?
02:44We shall soon see.
02:45Anyway, good luck to you both.
02:47We're proud to have you both here.
02:48Let's have a big round of applause for Stephen and Annie.
02:51APPLAUSE
02:52And Susie's in the corner, as ever, and TV and radio presenter, and writer, and I think I'm right in saying Countdown Fanatic.
03:05Yes.
03:06Yes?
03:06Oh, this is...
03:07Colin Murray.
03:08Oh, I shouldn't be getting paid to be here on this special week, but I will take the money.
03:14But I shouldn't be.
03:16Well, welcome back, anyway.
03:17All right, let's get down to business.

08:04The adult came to the party in very stained clothing.
08:07MUSIC CONTINUES
08:09Welcome back.
08:23I left you with the clue.
08:25The adult came to the party in very stained clothing.
08:28And the answer to that is maculated.
08:32Maculated?
08:33Maculated meaning, indeed, stained.
08:35It comes from the Latin, hence immaculate means unstained.

11:55Stephen? Seven. Annie? Seven. Stephen? Beading. Beading and? Bedding. Thank you. Beading and bedding. Very good. Yeah. Yep. Colin? Seventh Heaven. We all got one each. I got Band-Aid. Yeah. Daubing. And Daubing. Yes. Good. Well done. 35 plays 29. Annie? Numbers time for you.
12:19One big five little. Please raise some five little ones. Not deviating from the plan yet. Thank you, Annie. One big five little. And these little ones are 10, 4, 5, 1, 2. And the big one, 25. And your target, 432. 432.
12:49Andy? I got 430. And Stephen? 432. 432. So, Stephen? OK. 25 minus 1 is 24.
13:18Yep. 4-2s are 8. They are. Plus 10 is 18. And 24 times 18 is 432. Perfect. Well done. Well done. Which means that you've leapfrogged Annie 39 now to 35 as we turn to Colin for one of his wonderful chats.
13:40Well, what a week it is. I mean, our last quarterfinal, Dixnery Corner, was gunpowdered. We're trying to measure our levels of excitement as they get more and more towards the final.
13:49Today, we're gingerberry, which is a beautiful word. It means you're so excited you're about to go pop.
13:53And that's us today. And, you know, it doesn't get any less majestic, the run into the final of Countdown. Those last three programmes are wonderful.
14:01And I want to use a couple of minutes every day to mark the majesty of the most important week of any series.
14:06And even this is the 76 series I've been watching since I was a kid. It never becomes less important, never becomes less gripping watching the best.
14:14And I think that's why I love Countdown, because it's not over in a flash like most quiz shows. You can't fluke it.
14:20And I think it's that run. All four semi-finalists are octo-champs. In fact, all eight quarter finalists of this series were octo-champs.
14:27And you have to win eight in a row. And it got me thinking about, you know, great runs of victories in various walks of life.
14:35And in sport, the greatest run of victories, no draws. And I've got a challenge for you to finish this.
14:40So it'll take me about a minute to tell the story. If an octo-champ is eight, how many, Susie?
14:45And you might need your computer. It's 555. Good luck. You've got about a minute.
14:52And we're not talking about football or rugby or cricket. We're talking about squash randomly.
14:56And it's quite an emotional story behind this 555 consecutive victories.
15:01I've got to take you to 1957. And a man called Roshan Khan won the British Squash Championship.
15:08And he was actually a wonderful player. But he had two sons who were both dedicated to following in his footsteps.
15:14Two exceptional players at youth level. And the eldest of them was called Torsam Khan.
15:20And at a fairly young age, in his 20s, he was playing in Australia. He was rising through the ranks.
15:26He was already up to number 13th in the world. And inexplicably, he suffered a massive heart attack and died on court.
15:32And this left the younger brother, his brother, his younger brother and the other son, absolutely devastated to the point that he said he would never pick up a squash racket again.
15:44And there's a brilliant documentary where he explains the only reason he did pick it up was that every shot and every victory, every point he could win was all going to be dedicated to the memory of his older brother, who he loved so dearly.
15:58Well, how did he do in terms of honouring that memory of a past loved one?
16:05He won every single match he played between 1981 and 1986.
16:11Jahangir Khan won 555 elite sporting matches in a row.
16:19And you'll find him nestled now with the thought of his brother in his head and his heart the whole way through every one of those games in the pages of the Guinness Book of Records.
16:28So big finale time. And I'm sure this crowd will go absolutely crazy if Susie has worked this out.
16:34Are you ready? Eight wins as an octo champ.
16:37Jahangir Khan, with 555 consecutive victories, is...
16:43Quingentesimo, Quinquagestimo, Quinto champ, I think.
16:49Oh, I'm so pleased about that. Well done.
16:57It's probably wrong.
16:59And that's a lovely story, sad story. Great story. Brilliant. Well done, Susie.
17:04All right. So, 39 to 35. Stephen's in the lead at the moment, and it's Stephen's Letters game. Go, Stephen.
17:10A consonant, please, Rachel.
17:12Thank you, Stephen.
17:13Z.
17:14And again.
17:16S.
17:17A vowel.
17:19O.
17:19And again.
17:21I.
17:22A consonant.

17:36And a consonant.
17:38And lastly, W.
17:40Stand by.
17:41All right.
17:45All right.
17:47All right.
17:55Stephen?
18:12Eight.
18:13An eight. Annie?
18:14A six.
18:16And your six?
18:17Soiled.
18:20Sleazoid.
18:21A sleazoid.
18:23Yes, not a very nice word.
18:26Either a sleazy, sordid or despicable person or something that is sleazy or sordid.
18:30Oh, so...
18:30Very, very good.
18:36Well, it saddens me I have to do this, but I'm going to have to disallow Susie's sleazoid
18:41because she got it after the 30 seconds.
18:45And it was 32, 33 seconds, so that doesn't count, so you get that one on your own sleazoid.
18:50Sleazoid is fairly recent, is it?
18:53Sleazoid.
18:54Yeah, well, actually, I'm not sure.
18:55I think it's chiefly US, but I think it might be 80s, 90s.
18:59So, fairly recently.
19:00Yeah, sure.
19:01OK.
19:02Thank you, Colin.
19:04Now, 47 now to Annie's 35, and it's Annie's letters game.
19:09Now, good luck, Annie.

21:387, 8, 7, 8.
21:39So we turn to you, Stephen.
21:40OK, 6 over 3 is 2.
21:42Yep.
21:4210 minus 2 is 8.
21:44It is.
21:45Times 100.
21:46800.

26:06Bad luck.
26:06Sorry about that.
26:07It was a really good try.
26:07What can we have?
26:09Colin, Susie?
26:10Yeah, with Claudia as well.
26:12Uncoiled is another eight that's in there as well.
26:15Uncoiled, yeah.
26:16Very good.
26:1779, page 41.
26:19And it's Susie's Origins of Words.
26:21Susie?
26:23Well, as you know, Nick, I love talking about words
26:25that have undergone great shifts in meaning.
26:27And I've got one for you today.
26:31The first word, or the parent word, if you like,
26:33was assize.
26:35The word assize.
26:36And that was borrowed from France after turn 66
26:39and the Norman Conquest.
26:41And it meant a sitting of a legislative body or court,
26:46meaning, of course, that it still retains today.
26:48And the assizes in Britain were courts that judged civil and criminal matters in counties
26:53until they were handed over to the Crown Court, of course,
26:57and criminal court later on.
26:59But assize is ultimately related to session, a sitting of court.
27:04The idea still of being sitting and to assess from that same French and ultimately Latin route
27:09of sitting beside, because the first assessors would sit beside a judge in council
27:14and helped him or her to fix the amount of a fine or a tax.
27:19And eventually they were sitting there to judge the value of something.
27:21But back to assize, and it also began to embrace not just the legal sitting itself,
27:28but also the regulations that were established at these courts,
27:32so specifically those relating to weights and measures and dimensions
27:35in the selling and handling and merchandise of goods.
27:40And as so often happens in English, pronunciation can skew the spelling of things a little bit.
27:44It's why a size became a size, because remember,
27:48they were judging the weights and dimensions of things.
27:51And so size became the common term for standards of measurement of any kind,
27:55specified quantities, and ultimately, as I say, for sizes of any kind.
28:00And so curious as it seems, probably, choosing your size of clothes when you're out shopping
28:05has a direct link to the most important matters of court at once upon a time.
28:10So does size matter? Probably not these days, but it's certainly used to.
28:14Oh, well done.
28:19Thank you, Super Z.
28:21Perfect. Perfect.
