00:30Hello, everybody. It's Thursday. So nice to see you again.
00:34Welcome to the show that leaves the rest green with envy.
00:38Hello to Richard Riley. How are you this Thursday?
00:40I am purple and black and yellow.
00:43Nice. Not green, but if you were the Incredible Hulk, you would be.
00:46And it is a very happy birthday to Lou Farino, 72 today.
00:51He was the original Incredible Hulk that we knew growing up in the US hit TV series,
00:56and the rest is history.
00:58So the question for you is this.
01:00The classic line is, don't make me angry.
01:02You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
01:04So in a very lighthearted way, give me the everyday thing.
01:08You know, it's small, but it makes you angry,
01:12even when you don't want it to make you angry and you cannot...
01:15It hits the switch in your head.
01:17I've got one.
01:17You know when you're on the motorway and they're closing one lane,
01:21you have to move across, and everybody's queuing in the other lanes,
01:24and then one person goes all the way down that lane, right, to the end.
01:29Yeah.
01:29I'm very British.
01:30I like queuing.
01:32You have to look for it.
01:32I don't care if you're in a car, we queue.
01:34I'm just going to mention what is now an epidemic,
01:38which is people who do not respect the cinema,
01:41to the point for me that it's on its last knockings.
01:44Three of the last five films I've went to see,
01:46I've had to go out and speak to the manager.
01:49They put these videos on at the start,
01:51and they're using celebrities now,
01:52and it's pandering to people.
01:54Turn your phone off and don't talk.
01:56How hard is that?
01:58If you want to talk and use your phone,
01:59watch a film at home.
02:01It is every time now,
02:03and because of the age of people will watch things on their phones
02:06without even putting earphones on,
02:08it's not even like sneaking a look.
02:10I think we should have, you know, like on flights,
02:13you have plainclosed FBI agents.
02:15That's what we need the big cinema change to do.
02:18They've got to get staff, dress them in civvies,
02:21and they're in there with their popcorn,
02:22but they're actually there.
02:24They're incognito.
02:25They're secret agents.
02:26And then you spot the person,
02:28the lights go up,
02:29and you kick them out.
02:30Yeah.
02:31Popcorn starsy.
02:32Great idea.
02:33That's a great idea.
02:34It is brilliant.
02:35I'm glad you condone my idea.
02:37But maybe someone that could help us with turning that into law,
02:41joining Susie Dent in Dictionary Corner,
02:44is TGT, Tani Gray Thompson.
02:46I'm going to give you a private numbers bill just for you.
02:50Right?
02:50Yeah, I'll do it.
02:51No, it's good that you care about things.
02:53That is really important.
02:55It's just basic manners.
02:56I suppose that's the thing.
02:58You know when you say to somebody...
02:59I started him off again.
03:00You know when you hold the door for somebody, Tani?
03:02Yeah.
03:03And they don't say thank you.
03:04To me, that's unfathomable that you could have that in your head.
03:08Anyway, thanks for being here.
03:10Thank you so much for being here.
03:11Fair as Selam is that age, to be fair,
03:16where he might look at his phone in the cinema,
03:18but we would fall out very quickly.
03:20An amazing century plus in your opening win.
03:23I think we have a real player on our hands.
03:25How are you today?
03:26I'm feeling a bit better.
03:28Yeah?
03:29But still nervous a bit.
03:31Well, listen, you're up against Rachel Broadbridge,
03:34who's 33, from Thatcham in Berkshire.
03:37How are you today?
03:37I'm OK, thank you, Colin.
03:39You're loving the tattoo, what is it?
03:40Oh, thank you very much. It's an elephant.
03:41And from where? Where did you get it from?
03:43I drew it myself.
03:44Oh, even better.
03:45Well, it's absolutely fantastic.
03:46Thank you so much.
03:47And really, her best mate from her whole life,
03:50what's her name?
03:51Sian.
03:52Sian, who's with you today,
03:54they don't live in the same county anymore.
03:56And do you play down the phone every day with her?
03:59Every day, we play down the phone,
04:01but we also watch on demand rather than watching it live,
04:03so we can time it around the children's naps and mealtimes,
04:06so we can focus more.
04:08And has Sian applied to be on Countdown yet?
04:11She hasn't yet.
04:12She hasn't quite plucked up the courage just yet.
04:14I was the braver of the two of us.
04:16You absolutely were, and therefore, my favourite.
04:19Thank you very much.
04:20Good luck, Rachel.
04:21Good luck, Viraj.
04:22Let's do it!

05:37He's already intimidated.
05:38What have you got?
05:39Just a six.
05:39The six is?
05:40Deaths.
05:41Yeah, this is a difficult one for your very first round in national TV.
05:44Veeraj.
05:45Headiest.
05:46Headiest, yes.
05:47The heights.
05:48Absolutely fine.
05:49Well done.
05:49Yes, question.
05:51APPLAUSE
05:52Great start by Veeraj.
05:55I love the honesty of Tani.
05:58When she does nothing, she's like, no.
06:00Anything?
06:01Oh, there's head ties.
06:02Oh, very good.
06:03Head ties.
06:04You matched it.
06:05Eight to zip.

07:07How did you get on, Rachel?
07:16I got a seven.
07:17And Viraj?
07:18An eight.
07:19Rachel?
07:20I had demons, but the archaic spelling with the A.
07:23And Viraj?
07:25Atomised.
07:26Off we go to dictionary corner.
07:28Demons, there's no N for that, unfortunately, Rachel.
07:30Sorry about that.
07:31Sorry.
07:32But atomised is on the button.
07:34Really good for eight, yes.
07:35Atomised for eight.
07:36Takes the points as we switch to the numbers in your pick and jump.
07:41I'll have six more, please.
07:42Your favourite so far.
07:44Six little ones coming up.
07:48And let's see if we find a possible one.
07:50This selection is eight, two, six, one, three and five.
07:56And the target to reach 699.
07:59699 numbers up.
08:06We'll try 702, not written down.
08:36702, not written down.
08:38Three away.
08:38Rachel?
08:39Absolutely miles away.
08:40Sorry.
08:40Yeah, my goodness me.
08:41So difficult.
08:43Let's see if you're right.
08:45Eight plus one for nine.
08:47Eight plus one is nine.
08:50No, sorry.
08:51I lost it.
08:51No, no.
08:52We didn't have a huge amount of faith.
08:53If there was not a huge amount of confidence emanating from the Champions,
08:57Ger.
08:58Rachel, have you got this?
08:59I'm just one away, so you're going to have to leave it with me.
09:02But listen, really intriguing one.
09:04Let's get our first tea time teaser of the day.
09:07Five, do it.
09:09Five, do it.
09:10The police, the wanted, the small faces.
09:13Get the picture.
09:13The police, the wanted, the small faces.
09:16Get the picture.
09:25APPLAUSE
09:25Welcome back.
09:33Five, do it was the tea time teaser.
09:35The police, the wanted, and the small faces.
09:38Get the picture.
09:39It's video fit, video fit.
09:41Not a mug shot.
09:41Is this the Crimewatch sort of photo fit?
09:44Yes, it's like a photo fit.
09:45So it is built up on the basis of witnesses' descriptions
09:49for somebody who's sought by the police.
09:50Good stuff.
09:51We're using the full squad here.
09:52That's cleared up.
09:53Now we go back to 699.
09:54I'm not sought, but this was sought and I found it.
09:58If you say 6 times 8 is 48,
10:01take away 1 for 47,
10:04times that by 5 for 235,
10:07and then take away 2 for 233,
10:10and times it by 3.
10:12699.
10:12Go on.
10:14APPLAUSE
10:14Very, very tough indeed.
10:18Rachel nails it.
10:19699.
10:21And back to the game.
10:22Good start from her champion, Viraj,
10:24but a long way to go.
10:26So, Rachel, let's grab the boot by the horns.
10:28Could I please start with a consonant?
10:30Thank you, Rachel.
10:31J.
10:32And another one, please.
10:34T.
10:35And a vowel.
10:37U.

10:48Another consonant.
10:50Q.
10:52A vowel.
10:55O.
10:56And another vowel, please.
10:58And lastly, I.
11:00And kind of.
11:01And kind of.
11:32Rachel?
11:33Just a six.
11:34A six is there.
11:35A virage?
11:36A seven.
11:37And a seven.
11:37Rachel, a six?
11:38At quoted.
11:39Yes, and virage?
11:41Out ride.
11:42To out ride.
11:43Out ride.
11:44To ride faster than someone else.
11:46Yes, well done.
11:47Sensational.
11:47Right, I'm guessing he's maxing out every round here.
11:51Yeah, we just have one other seven, quirted,
11:54to hit with a quirt, which is a short riding whip.
11:58Virage, it's your letters.
11:59Could I start with a consonant, please?
12:01You can start with S.
12:04A vowel.
12:06A.
12:08A consonant.
12:10L.
12:12A vowel.
12:14O.
12:15A vowel.
12:17U.
12:19Another vowel.
12:21E.
12:22A consonant.
12:24N.
12:25A consonant.
12:27H.
12:28And another consonant.
12:30Lastly, L.
12:31Half a minute.
12:32.
12:32N.
12:37.
12:39.
12:40.
12:40.
12:53.
12:56.
12:57.
12:58And that is time. How do you get on, Viraj?
13:05Just a five.
13:06Just a five. Come on, Rachel.
13:09I'm going to have to risk a seven then, aren't I?
13:11Risking the seven. Love it. Right, Viraj?
13:13House.
13:14House. And what's the seven?
13:16Can you unshell something?
13:18Oh, I really hope you can.
13:20Ah, unshelled is in, but not unshell.
13:25I'm so sorry, Rachel.
13:27It's worth a risk, right?
13:28Yeah, definitely worth a risk.
13:30So the five sticks, what did you have, Tani?
13:33Halons.
13:35Halons, yes.
13:36Halon is any of a number of unreactive gaseous compounds of carbon.
13:41And there is also to unseal.
13:44You can have that.
13:45OK, let's get back to the numbers.
13:47Rachel, good news, you're in control.
13:50Please, may I just have one large?
13:52Yes.
13:53One large.
13:54Colin's happy.
13:55And five little ones.
13:56And for this round, the little ones are seven, nine, six, four, and four.
14:03And the big one, 50.
14:05And the target, 539.
14:08539.
14:09Numbers up.
14:09And the big one, 50.
14:10And the big one, 50.
14:11And the big one, 50.
14:11And the big one, 50.
14:12And the big one, 50.
14:13And the big one, 50.
14:14And the big one, 50.
14:14And the big one, 50.
14:15And the big one, 50.
14:16And the big one, 50.
14:17And the big one, 50.
14:18And the big one, 50.
14:19And the big one, 50.
14:20And the big one, 50.
14:21And the big one, 50.
14:22And the big one, 50.
14:23And the big one, 50.
14:24And the big one, 50.
14:25And the big one, 50.
14:26And the big one, 50.
14:27And the big one, 50.
14:28And the big one, 50.
14:29And the big one, 50.
14:30And the big one, 50.
14:31539, Rachel Broadbridge.
14:43I got 540, one away.
14:44One away, Vera.
14:46540, not written down.
14:47Also 540, not written down, so you'll be going first.
14:5050 plus 4.
14:5254.
14:534 plus 6.
14:54And the other 4.
14:55Yeah.
14:57540, one away.
14:58OK, and off you go, Rach.
14:59Yeah, I did the exact same thing.
15:01I had 50, add 4 is 54, and then 6, add 4 is 10, multiply.
15:05Slip that bit of paper over to your right.
15:10So, 7 points each.
15:12We can get to 539.
15:14Off you go, Rach.
15:15Well, it's divisible by 11.
15:18Yes.
15:18So, 4 plus 7 is 11.
15:214 plus 6 minus 9 is 1.
15:24Take that 1 from the 50.
15:26And 49 times 11, 539.
15:29Yeah.
15:29There.
15:33Let's head over to Dictionary Corner.
15:35What are you taking us today?
15:37Oh, well, sort of summer of athletics, really.
15:40Yeah.
15:40And, you know, we would have both grown up with, you know, like amazing 1,500 metre runners, you know, Coe, Ovette, Cram, you know.
15:49Elliot.
15:49Elliot, yeah.
15:50And it kind of feels like we're getting back to that space again, doesn't it, with the world championships, which is all quite exciting, with Josh winning gold medal and beating Jacob Ingebrigtsen, which, poor love, to be fair.
16:02He's lost two world championships in a row now.
16:04Yeah.
16:05Both by British athletes.
16:06This is different because this is strength, male and female, for what I think will be a generation.
16:11And that's what makes it so intriguing because I think the 815 under those middle distances for me will always be the heart of the Olympics.
16:19I know people say the 100 metres, for me it's that.
16:22I think because with the 1815, you can throw it away, you can lose it.
16:26And I broke the 800 metre world record and it was on CFAX.
16:30Shows how long ago it was.
16:31Yeah, some people around here probably won't even remember CFAX.
16:34But it had grey bricks world record and apparently I nearly gave Seb's dad a heart attack.
16:39Because there was an American runner, Johnny Grey, who was really close to Seb's world record and never quite broke it.
16:44But it was me, not Johnny.
16:46Let's just test it out because I think Viraj thinks that you broke the world record in a country called CFAX.
16:53Do you know what CFAX is?
16:55No.
16:55There was a button on your remote control for the TV and you'd type a number in and then you'd have to wait for it to change.
17:02So for football scores, that's how you would find out what the football scores were.
17:06But the thing is, Viraj, if your team, say you supported Wolverhampton Wonders and they were at home, they'd only have three results a page.
17:14So you'd be like this.
17:15Half an hour later you'd get the results, wouldn't you?
17:17They only turned like every two minutes.
17:20But it was so exciting.
17:22There's something to be said for having to work for it a bit harder, you know.
17:24Yeah, I kind of feel I've done my bit today to educate, actually.
17:28Yeah, yeah, go and have a look at CFAX and Teletext.
17:33Thank you, Tani.
17:33OK, back to the game and Youngin, you're up.
17:40I'll have a consonant, please.
17:42Thank you, Youngin.
17:44That's going to stick.
17:45A vowel.
17:47A vowel.
17:48E.
17:49A consonant.
17:51M.
17:52A vowel.
17:53He doesn't know what they are either, I bet.
17:55I.
17:56Another vowel.
17:59O.
18:00A consonant.
18:02C.
18:03Another consonant.
18:04D.
18:05A vowel.
18:08U.
18:09And a consonant.
18:10And lastly, R.
18:12And here we go.
18:43Time's up, Viraj.
18:46A six.
18:46A six for you and Rachel.
18:48A seven.
18:49Not even, I think, a seven, but a seven.
18:53Viraj.
18:53Murder.
18:54And Rachel, the seven?
18:56Curried.
18:56Curried, yes.
18:59That spices things up.
19:0135-14.
19:03Was seven the best we could do?
19:04We just had curried as well, so we can't do better than that.
19:07OK, well done to you and you're picking these letters.
19:09Could I have a consonant, please?
19:11Thank you, Rachel.
19:12G.
19:13Another consonant.
19:14P.

22:01Second Tea Town teaser this Thursday afternoon is Plan Sums.
22:06Plan Sums.
22:07No sign, no costs, but possibly some tans.
22:11No sign, no costs, but possibly some tans.
22:15MUSIC PLAYS
22:31Welcome back. No sign, no costs, but possibly some tans.
22:36It takes us the sun lamps.
22:37It takes us the sun lamps.
22:40And that's something to do with the ratio of the pi r squared
22:42connected to the podinews and the isosceles thing.
22:46Yeah, the three trigonometric functions.
22:47You can work out the angles and lengths of a right-angle triangle,
22:51like you just said.
22:51That's exactly...
22:53That's exactly what we said. Brilliant.
22:55Six rounds to go.

24:04Well done to both of you, Rachel.
24:05Roofing.
24:06Roofing.
24:07Yep, the same.
24:08What have we got in the dictionary corner?
24:09Seven was the best, actually.
24:10Yeah.
24:11And then there's insofar.
24:13Insofar, that's lovely.

25:17All right, Viraj.
25:21Seven.
25:22Seven there.
25:23Rachel?
25:24I'm going to have to punt a seven then as well.
25:25You'll have to.
25:26You'll have to.
25:27Viraj?
25:28Aunties.
25:29Aunties.
25:30And Rich?
25:30I thought I'd guess another un one with unwaste.
25:34Unwasted isn't in other than with the I, so no can-do.
25:38I'm sorry about that.
25:39I had to try, didn't I?
25:39Of course.
25:40Absolutely.
25:41Four rounds left.
25:43So it means origins of words before we hit the final straight.
25:47Yes, well, yesterday I talked about the original Old Chestnut
25:51and where that came from.
25:52And today I'm going to talk about the first knock-knock joke,
25:55or at least the first mention of knock-knock, who's there?
25:59And you know how so often we take a word and we say,
26:02well, I bet that goes back to Shakespeare.
26:04And very often they do.
26:05And this one does, believe it or not.
26:08The first knock-knock semi-joke.
26:10And we're talking about Macbeth.
26:13And it is a comic scene, but it's very, very dark.
26:16So Macbeth has just murdered Duncan, the king.
26:19It's very early morning and Macduff, having made arrangements with Duncan
26:24to wake him up before dawn to go hunting, arrives at the castle gates
26:29as though everything is fine.
26:30And Macbeth is still in a state of shock as to what he's done.
26:34But in the next scene, there is a porter.
26:36Now, the porter is a comic figure.
26:38It's his job to keep the castle gates.
26:40Early morning, he wakes from his drunken sleep,
26:42shuffles off to the gates when he hears knocking, muttering to himself.
26:46He's really irritated.
26:48And he imagines himself to be a porter at the gates of hell.
26:52And to imagine, as he keeps hearing this knocking,
26:54lots of different characters arriving.
26:56So he says, knock-knock, who's there?
26:58In the name of Beelzebub, for example.
27:00Never gets a reply, but there's just character after character
27:04when he will say, knock-knock, who's there?
27:07And it probably did cement that kind of formula or linguistic formula
27:11in our minds.
27:13As to when it became a joke, we think around 1900 in the US,
27:18but they were known not as knock-knock jokes,
27:19but as do-you-know jokes.
27:21And one of the first was, do you know Arthur?
27:23Arthur who?
27:24Arthur-mometer.
27:26It could get better.
27:28Who knows?
27:29But who knows?
27:30Eventually, it became knock-knock, who's there?
27:32And it may well go back to the fact that Macbeth,
27:34such a famous play, and that scene with the porter,
27:37as I say, it is quite dark,
27:39so not exactly very funny in itself,
27:41but you'd never have guessed that it goes all the way back to Shakespeare.
27:44That was a great Origins Awards.
27:46Thank you, Suze.
27:49OK, to be or not to be for Rachel Broadbridge.
27:52Probably not to be, but you never know.
27:546628, you're still in touch.
27:56Stranger Things Have Happened, and it's your letters.

29:09Yep. And Veeraj?
29:10Silicon.
29:11Silicon is absolutely brilliant for eight. Well done.
29:13There you go.
29:17That definitely gets a round of applause.
29:20Tani, Susie?
29:22There's another eight, isn't there?
29:23Yes, a lioniser.
29:24Somebody who worships all lionises another.

30:43I didn't write down outrange.
30:44And what did you write down?
30:46Outlearn.
30:47Susie?
30:47Very pleased to say that both of them in the dictionary,
30:50you can learn more than someone else or you can have a gun
30:52that has a greater range than another.
30:55Well done.
30:55Nice. Well done.
31:00So here we go.

32:01883, nailed it.
32:02Viraj?
32:03Yep, 883.
32:04Got it as well.
32:05Let's fill her boots.
32:06Off you go.
32:07So, I did 9 plus 8 is 17.
32:09Yep.
32:10Times 50.
32:11850.
32:12850.
32:13And then, separately, I did 8 times 4 is 32,
32:16plus the 1 for 33, and then add it on.
32:19Lovely, 883.
32:20How did you go, Viraj?
32:21I did 8 divided by 4 is 2.
32:23It is.
32:24Cut the 50.
32:2552.
32:26And then 8 plus 9 is 17.
32:28Times them together.
32:29884.
32:30And then take the 1.
32:31Perfect.
32:32883 again.
32:37Very good indeed.
32:39Lost in admiration for Viraj so far.

33:12Wow, that's the scenario I didn't account for.
33:22Nobody got it.
33:23So let's put everyone out of their misery.
33:24Well done if you got this at home.
33:26You beat Rachel and Virash.
33:27It is unobliged.
33:31Unobliged.
33:31Really difficult.
33:32Hard to unsee the ING when you're working that out, isn't it?
33:35What a contest that was today.
33:37Rachel, you get the goodie bag.
33:39It's got the mug in there.
33:40And we look forward to seeing you really soon when your friend Sian finally builds up the courage to apply to come on Countdown like you did.
33:48And you'll see me again in ten years when I come back.
33:51Yes, exactly we will.
33:53Keep on playing.
33:54It's countdown at channel4.com.
33:56That's the email.
33:57That's for Sian and everybody else who wants to have a go.
34:00And Virash, what a performance.
34:01I just can't wait until tomorrow to see you play your trade again.
34:06So we will see you then.
34:07See you tomorrow.
34:08And one more day for you, Tani.
34:09It is.
34:10I've had a lovely time.

34:14Thanks, Rachel.
34:15One more day this week.
34:16See you tomorrow, Tom.
