00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, legend has it, it was on this day, this very day, 60 years ago,
00:38that John met Paul.
00:41John Lennon bumped into Paul McCartney.
00:43Apparently, John Lennon and his band, the Quarrymen,
00:46were playing at some church, maybe somewhere or other,
00:49and Paul McCartney was there.
00:50And before you knew what was going on, Paul had been asked to join.
00:56I think about my favourite songwriters.
00:59I'm going to go way back to something that's called
01:02The Great American Songbook, and, of course,
01:04Ella Fitzgerald apparently is just the tops.
01:08But we have other two great British singers.
01:11How about Rod Stewart and Robbie Williams?
01:14And they sing those beautiful classics that are contained
01:18within what is sort of known as The American Songbook.
01:21And if you think about Hoagy Carmichael,
01:23and one of the prettiest, most beautiful songs was called Skylark.
01:27And, of course, it was Georgia on my mind,
01:29which everybody sort of sings as well.
01:31Beautiful.
01:32Who is your favourite songwriter, I wonder?
01:35Well, I guess with the Beatles, it's kind of nice
01:37because they sing their own music.
01:38But I went to see the Carole King musical, Beautiful,
01:40I think I mentioned it a little while ago.
01:42And her songs, they've just lasted and lasted,
01:44and she's got so many different artists singing them.
01:47And I never realised that they were all hers
01:49until I went to see the musical.
01:50And you're just singing and singing and singing the night away
01:52because they're, you know, 40 years old, some of them,
01:55and still as if they were made yesterday.
01:57Absolutely.
01:58And same with the American Songbook, you know.
02:01A great song will last forever.
02:04Beautiful.
02:05Now, who's with us?
02:06Why, Tom is back.
02:07Kel Supreuse.
02:09Tom has been so good.
02:11I think he's on his fifth win.
02:13Fantastic to see you back.
02:14And now you're joined by Al Harris.
02:16Welcome, Al.
02:17Hi.
02:18Secondary school maths teacher from Coventry.
02:20Got married last year and apparently,
02:22and rather unusually, if you don't mind me saying so,
02:24you spent your honeymoon with a mouse, Mickey Mouse.
02:27Yeah, we went, sir.
02:27Did your wife kick up a row about this?
02:29Well, I couldn't not spend it, even though I spent it with my wife,
02:32I couldn't not spend it with Mickey Mouse as well,
02:33is another love of my life.
02:35Is that right?
02:36In Disney World in Florida?
02:38Yeah, yeah.
02:39It's a magical place.
02:40It's a great place, isn't it?
02:40It's a magical place.
02:41How long are you there?
02:42We're there about three weeks, two weeks with Mickey,
02:45and then five days to recover down in Miami.
02:48You're kidding.
02:49You were in Disneyland for two weeks?
02:52Did you get a bit dizzy?
02:53In Disney World.
02:54Disney World, rather.
02:55No, because we went to all the parks,
02:56and we had our rest days where we went to the water parks as well.
02:59Excellent stuff.
03:00Well, great to have you here.
03:02Good luck to you.
03:03Good luck to you both.
03:03Big round of applause for Tom and Al.
03:11And, of course, over in the corner,
03:13Susie, as ever, joined once again by the wonderful Greg Ruzetsky.
03:16An ace, an ace player.
03:18Welcome back.

10:52Talapes.

12:39It's like Australian twang to that one.
12:41Sunnies.

13:48Yeah.
13:48And then add the nine.
13:49We can do that in our heads.
13:50There we go.
13:50And?
13:51I did it exactly the same way.
13:53Well done.
13:53All right.
13:54So there we are.
13:5547 playing 26.
13:57Tom in the lead as we turn to Greg.
13:59And Greg, what have you got for us from the world of tennis today?
14:03Well, a little bit of an experience when I got to the U.S. Open Finals.
14:07This was in 1997.
14:09And I'd been traveling the road for six weeks.
14:12Got all the way to that U.S. Open Finals in New York for the first time.
14:14I'd never won a match there once in my career.
14:17But made it all the way to the finals.
14:19And then it was a little bit of a world win.
14:21That was my breakthrough in my big career.
14:23But there was an event the following week in Bormut.
14:26So if I was to get to the semifinals of that event, I would have got to the top ten in the world.
14:30So the tournament was very kind.
14:32And they upgraded me to Concord.
14:34So on the Monday morning, got on the Concord.
14:36When I arrived there, I got off to a good start.
14:38Won my first match in three sets.
14:40Won my second match in three sets.
14:42And I needed to win one more match to make it into the top ten in the world for the first time.
14:47But unbeknownst to me, my agent and my wife hadn't told me that I was already top ten in the world.
14:51Because they got the calculations all wrong.
14:53So I was one set all.
14:55I just lost a second set.
14:56And my wife and my agent, I could see, distracted, just chatting away.
14:59I'm heeled over, exhausted, and absolutely shattered.
15:02Thinking, why are you guys laughing here?
15:04Had a few choice words there.
15:06Wasn't too happy about it.
15:08Ended up winning the match.
15:10Getting off court.
15:11And finding out I was already top ten in the world.
15:12But I had a little bit of a domestic at that day because of it.
15:15So, you know, sometimes you've got to be careful.
15:18Funny.
15:18What I want to know is who got their sums wrong in the first place.
15:22Well, the Association of Tennis Professionals.
15:24Because there's so many mathematical calculations you need to do.
15:28And looking back in retrospect, I was wrong.
15:31My wife was right because she'd been on the road for two months.
15:33So I needed a little bit of a break.
15:35Brilliant. Well done.
15:42Now, Tom, it's your letters again.
15:46I'll start with a consonant, please.
15:47Thank you, Tom.

23:14I'm out of my teammates.
23:14Yes, Al?

23:19Six, Tom?
23:20Seven.
23:21Al?
23:23Taylor.
23:24And?
23:25Orbital.
23:26Yep, excellent.
23:27Certainly an F7.
23:28No, great.
23:29We managed to get airboat.
23:32An airboat, yeah.
23:3566 plays 43, and it's Tom's letters game.
23:38Start with a consonant, please.
23:39Thank you, Tom.
23:41V.
23:42And another.

23:46And another.

23:50And a vowel, please.

24:04L.
24:05And a vowel.
24:08I.
24:10And a final consonant, please.
24:12And a final T.
24:15Stand by.
24:30Tom, eight.
24:47And Al?
24:48I'll try an eight.
24:50Tom, vocalist.
24:53And Al?
24:54Er, coalites.
24:57Hmm.
24:57And Susie?
24:58Er, yeah, I was just checking, uh, coalite, um, actually, in the form of, of coke, the
25:04smokeless fuel, it's got a capital C, but to coalite, er, with, er, as a verb is to combine
25:10or unite, in other words, to form a coalition, so it's absolutely fine.
25:13Very good.
25:13Well done.
25:14All right, so 74 plays 51, Al on 51, but now we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins
25:20of words.
25:20What have you got for us today, Susie?
25:22Thanks, Nick.
25:23Well, I mentioned that I had been, er, reading a lovely book by Ferdy Addis, and he, er, mentioned
25:27so many of the words and phrases that we take from the ancient world, and that relate
25:33to stories that may or may not have happened a very long time ago.
25:36And today's tent is to fiddle while Rome burns, which is to, er, make merry, if you like, while
25:42neglecting your real responsibilities.
25:45And it goes back, of course, to, um, being a Roman emperor, which was no easy job.
25:50Lots and lots of threats, er, mutinies amongst your soldiers, invading barbarians, er, hidden
25:55assassins, and so it's probably not surprising that a few of these emperors let the stress
25:59go to their heads, and they went just perhaps a little bit off the rails.
26:04So, er, there was Domitian, er, Emperor Domitian, who built his palace out of moonstone, er, it
26:09is said, reflective moonstone, that he could see people coming up behind him at those hidden
26:13assassins.
26:14Caligula, as we know, made his horse a senator, and Tiberius, who, um, according to the stories,
26:21is supposed to have killed a man by rubbing him to death with a fish.
26:25Oh, you're slightly curious.
26:27Um, Nero, possibly the most famous of the, the bad emperors, if you like, um, used to,
26:32uh, burn Christians, apparently in his garden, pretty horrible, um, but he had delusions of
26:37rather artistic talent, so he fancied himself as a bit of a musician, and apparently would bore
26:42his courtiers rigid by, um, giving them endless recitals of very bad poetry, but also, uh,
26:49played the accompaniment of the lyre, so he liked, uh, playing his, uh, his stringed instruments.
26:55It's said that, uh, one aristocrat, uh, of the day, who's called Petronius, was overheard
27:00quoting Nero's verses about thunder whilst, we say, breaking wind in a public toilet, which
27:05was the, the sort of ultimate contempt, if you like, and it said that he soon received
27:09a letter from the emperor inviting him to commit suicide.
27:12Uh, so Nero was, uh, a pretty bad emperor, but he's relevant to our fiddling while Rome
27:17burns, because probably the most serious catastrophe of, uh, bad Nero's reign, uh, reign was the great
27:22fire of Rome, and that was 64 BC, and he was widely blamed for it, if its history is revealed
27:28a little bit unfairly.
27:30And historians wrote that Nero had started the fire himself to gratify, perhaps, an insane
27:36urge to, uh, to, you know, to watch things burn down.
27:40And, uh, the historians again related that he watched the fire's progress from a tower
27:44on a hill while singing and while playing his beloved lyre.
27:49And that's where we get the phrase to fiddle while Rome burns.
27:51As I say, history has probably been a little bit unkind to Nero in that respect only,
27:55but certainly that gave us our phrase.
27:57Very good.
27:58Well done.
28:04There we are.
28:0574, please.
28:0651, and Al, it's your letters game.
28:10Uh, Val, please.
28:11Thank you, Al.

30:56That five?
30:57Er, boils.
30:59And?
31:01Folios.
31:02Folios, yeah.
31:03And the girls?
31:05Well, we got one more, which was libidos.
31:08Yeah.
31:09Lovely.
31:09The seven.
31:10Their libidos were equally matched.
31:12Exactly.
31:12What could be better than that?
31:14Anything else?
31:15That was the perfect example sentence.
31:18So, 87 plays.
31:1951.
31:20Al will be with you for the final numbers game.
31:22Al?
31:23I'll go with all the big ones.
