01:37Laura Marsh, digital insight analyst from Roughton.
01:41Got a big win yesterday with a solid performance.
01:44So, you've got your teapot.
01:45Happy?
01:46Very, very delighted.
01:47Really delighted.
01:49All right.

01:50Now, you're joined by Shabir Aledina.
01:53Now, this young man is exceptional.
01:56I mean, I've never...
01:58You're an extensive traveller.
01:59Well, we all say, oh, right.
02:00Okay.
02:01So, you've been to Mauritius.
02:02But, actually, you've visited both polar regions.
02:05You've trekked in the Virunga National Park, wherever that is.
02:09That's in Rwanda.
02:10Rwanda.
02:11East Africa.
02:11But, what I want to talk to you about is North Korea.
02:15Yes.
02:15Now, what was that like?
02:17I didn't even realise that North Korea was open for tourism.
02:21And, apparently, it's been like that for ten years.
02:24And, I was there for two weeks.
02:26Travelled mainly around the capital city.
02:28Yeah.
02:28Down to the demeditary zone.
02:30And then up to the far northeast regions.
02:35Fascinating place.

13:30Then 9 minus 7 is 2.
13:32Yep.

13:37Lovely.

13:38There we go.
13:39Well done.
13:42Well done, Shabir.
13:43That's 46, then, paying 29 as we turn to Susanna.
13:47Susanna, history and gruesome stories.
13:51Yes, I've been full of them this week, haven't I?
13:54Well, I was thinking about the fact that in 17th century Vienna,
13:58there was this amazing story of an English traveller
14:00who saw someone being beheaded.
14:03And quite often when people were beheaded,
14:04someone from the crowd would rush in with a jug
14:07to scoop up the hot spurting blood and then down it in one
14:11and then sprint off.
14:13And this was described to him as being a cure for epilepsy
14:17or the falling sickness.
14:18And that they thought this was caused by an imbalance in the humours.
14:22And so what you needed was to have an injection of human blood
14:26which would balance things out.
14:27We didn't want too much, so you had to sprint off to get rid of the excess.
14:30And, of course, at the time, anything wrong in the system,
14:35any ailment was thought to be about an imbalance between the four humours,
14:39so blood and black bile, yellow bile, phlegm,
14:42explains why they bled people.
14:43If you needed to get rid of phlegm, you needed an expectorant
14:46or to vomit to get rid of yellow bile.
14:48But it's also associated with gender.
14:50So women were thought to menstruate because they had more blood than men
14:56and didn't get rid of it.
14:58And the humours were also associated with hot and cold and wet and dry.
15:02So women were thought to be wetter and colder than men.
15:06And men, being hotter and drier, burnt off the hair off the top of their heads
15:11because they had so much heat.
15:13And also that was explained why women had narrower shoulders and wider hips
15:18because they didn't have enough heat to push the matter to the top of their bodies.
15:22And, in fact, it explained why they'd become women in the first place.
15:25It was thought there hadn't been enough heat in the process of conception
15:29to force their genitalia outside their body.
15:32So women were just deformed men.
15:36LAUGHTER
15:37Their uterus was their inverted penis.
15:39And this was thought from the time of Aristotle on for centuries.
15:43Amazing. Amazing.
15:45APPLAUSE
15:46They're quite queasy, eh?
15:5146 to 29. Shabir's in the lead.
15:54And, Laura, your letters game.
15:56Um, Rachel, may I have a consonant, please?
15:59Thank you, Laura.

17:17Um, we're talking about falsifying, don't we?
17:19Um, yeah, I think that is the verb from false, unfortunately.
17:22There's no falsin.
17:23It sounds very old English.
17:24I'm sure it was there at some point.
17:26Um, but not any more, Shabir, I'm sorry.
17:27To show my age.
17:29Now, what can we have, I wonder?

20:50Susie's unhappy that she didn't see the nine-letter word.
20:55And the answer to that is, it was unspotted.
21:20Unspotted.
21:22Yes.
21:22I didn't spot that one either, so I'm going to pout.
21:25I've never seen you pout, and I rue the day.
21:29I hope I never see the day when you do pout.

23:55And the clock starts now.
23:56A vowel.
24:22Laura six and Shabir six Laura winter and Shabir six retain very good yes can we match or improve
24:40I wonder was for seven we've got several unearth haunter that sort of thing yeah yeah and there's
24:47a term from heraldry which will give you an eight Haurient h-a-u-r-i-e-n-t and it describes a fish or marine creature depicted as swimming vertically with the head upwards thank you so Laura on 52 Shabir 68 as we turn now to Susie and her wonderful origins of words and today Susie I'm going to talk about triumph now triumph has given us quite a few words in English including the word Trump
25:16because to trump in cards is to triumph and to turn up Trump's original league to turn your cards over and reveal that you had quite a few Trump cards but going back to triumphs and of course they were notable successes in ancient Rome they were hugely prestigious victories that would accompany a general into a stadium after a big military success they would be dressed in ancient regalia lots of sumptuous reds and golds
25:46and they would enter on a four horse chariot decked with laurel of course which was the ultimate emblem of victory but following behind them came victorious but probably captive legionaries who I don't think Susanne will know better than me about it I don't think they had a particularly nice life and they too were sort of paraded if you like as trophies particularly if they were at the enemy
26:16they would go to the general's head they would go to the general's head they still wanted to keep an element of humility and so a tradition arose that the general would have a slave standing behind them on the chariot and this slave would repeat over and over remember you are only a man
26:32but it got actually a little bit worse because in order to puncture the pride even more these troops who were probably quite sort of happy at this stage you know going around to vast applause
26:41they were encouraged to sing rude songs about the general again as a way of encouraging this humility
26:48and I mentioned recently I'd been reading a book by Ferdi Addis who relays all these wonderful historical details and he said that at Julius Caesar's triumphs his legionaries sang amongst other things
26:58that he'd spent most of his Gallic campaign chasing prostitutes
27:02so a triumph was a huge honour if perhaps a little bit soured around the edges for the general with all this going on around him
27:10but most generals would be quite happy and it was quite rare I have to say to get a triumph
27:15most people had to deal with a lesser ceremony which was called an ovation and that's of course where we get standing ovation from today
27:21brilliant well done
27:23thank you 68 plays 52
