00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown for another 15 rounds of letters and numbers as the clock takes down to a Countdown conundrum. And over there is Rachel Riley. Take it away.
00:45Oh, what was that? Today's International Choreographer's Day to celebrate all those great masterminds of the beautiful dance routines.
00:55And you did that to honour them? Yes. I thought it was a charity event. I sent Pasha £5 in the post, but it's not.
01:03No, I just, I mean, the one thing is all greatness comes with practice. And you've been there, you've done Strictly, and Pasha for a living does this.
01:11Mm-hmm. I mean, that's a bit, it intrigues me. The work that goes in, just like ballet dancing as well.
01:16Yeah. The work that goes into what we see at the end, which is beautiful.
01:20No, I love watching him work, because he's so passionate about it. And he gets inspiration from loads of old footage and old dances.
01:26And he gets, he just loves it. So he's always showing me, look at this film, and this is what Bob Fosse did then, and this is how it's used in this interpretation.
01:32And this is how I'm, you know, it's really nice when you see someone who's really good at what they do and they love it.
01:38It's a great thing, though. It is a great thing. International Choreographer's Day, so you can cook Pasha a nice dinner tonight and stuff.
01:45Yeah, give generously. Help out a choreographer today, if you see any.
01:50Right, well, listen, really looking forward to today. Let's head over to Dictionary Corner.
01:55No song and dance at all, just a straightforward introduction.
01:58Our J of the D, Susie Den, and it always feels so relaxed and so lovely when we have a member of the Countdown family back, actor and comedian, John Thompson.
02:09And we have a new champion, Nathan Mulligan, who won his first game yesterday, so teapot secured.
02:16Now, you're a married man, quite a while, and you and your wife are Swifties.
02:21We are, yes. Yeah, we've, so, we both liked to have him from a long, long time ago and kind of followed along.
02:28Throughout our whole relationship, we just get the next album, listen to it.
02:32And so lots of our memories are tied to kind of when her songs come out and an experience we've had around that.
02:38So, trying to go to the concert, but no luck with tickets so far.
02:41Hard to get tickets for the one person in Britain who doesn't know Taylor Swift fans are called Swifties.
02:48Listen, good luck to you today.
02:49You're taking on John Peake, who's originally from Chlandudno,
02:53but as you'll hear, very much sounds like an Englishman.
02:56You've lived in Chester most of your life?
02:5840 years.
02:5940 years.
03:00This guy, Rachel, 40 different countries he's watched Manchester United.
03:0440.
03:05Wow.
03:05Yeah.
03:07More to go, hopefully.
03:07Some happy and some painful memories associated with that, I bet.
03:10I can say that again.
03:13Well, you're up for the cup today.
03:14Well, you're up for the teapot.
03:15Good luck to John and Nathan.

06:14That's it. Fairly straightforward. Yeah, there is a nice eight there. Latewood does exactly what it says on the tin.
06:20It's the portion of the growth of a tree that's formed later in the season and it's denser and harder.
06:25That's called the latewood. Latewood. Okay. Numbers round. First time today. Nathan, you're going to pick first.

07:27Good for you, I wish I'd give you a bonus point for that if I could,
07:31but I can't. Nathan, off you go.

09:42Time's up, John.
09:43I'll try an eight.
09:44And Nathan?
09:45An eight, I think.
09:46OK, John, what are you going to try?
09:48Octarine.
09:50Octarine.
09:51O-C-T-A-R-I-N-E.
09:53Thank you, mate.
09:54And Nathan?
09:55Creation.
09:56And creation.
09:57Well, we're all right with creation.
09:58Octarine.
09:59Sounds like a cross between a nectarine and the adjective otarine,
10:03which is all about seals, actually.
10:05But octarine not there, I'm afraid, John, I'm sorry.
10:08You had a smile on your face early doors there, John Thompson.
10:11I got an eight straight away.
10:13And it's reaction.
10:14Reaction.
10:15Yes.
10:16Which is very close to creation.
10:17Yes.
10:18So they would have been the two big positive ones.
10:19OK.
10:20So, Nathan, you're picking these letters.

11:35And Nathan?
11:36Powters.
11:37And powters.

11:46But, yes, I know what most people think with powters.
11:49Absolutely fine.
11:50Mr Thompson?
11:51We've got a pirogue.
11:52A pirogue.
11:53Yeah.

12:00The dumplings.
12:01Yeah, the dumplings.
12:02Those are spelt differently.

13:36Oh.
13:37You've already used your 100.
13:38That's where I've gone.
13:39Sorry, John.
13:40Difficult one, this.
13:42Nathan, let's see if you've used only the numbers once.
13:45So, starting the same way.
13:47Yeah.
13:4850 divided by 5.
13:4950 over 5 for the one to left, and that does give you 10.
13:524-1 away.
13:53610.
13:54Well done, Nathan.
13:55Now, I saw you hand the clipboard over quite early,
13:58so that's either it can be done or you got it.
14:00This was the best you could have done.
14:02Yes.
14:03So, well done.
14:04Oh, thank goodness for that.
14:05Brilliant.
14:06APPLAUSE
14:08Nice work.
14:09Unlucky, John.
14:10Happens to the best of us as we take a little break
14:12and head over to our other John.
14:13John Thompson in Dictionary Corner,
14:15who just rolls with it every single show.
14:17And you've given us the real pleasure this week
14:19of just throwing people at you who you've worked with.
14:21You told beautiful stories about Carolina Hearn yesterday.
14:23Going to surprise you today.
14:25OK.
14:26You're expecting Coogan, aren't you?
14:27Yeah, maybe.
14:28Yeah, maybe.
14:29White House.
14:30Maybe.
14:31Jimmy Nesbitt.
14:32Jimmy.
14:33Cold Feet.
14:34What a series.
14:36Can I just, even though you're going to tell that story,
14:38I'm just going to go to Rachel a second.
14:40We were talking about this this morning.
14:42There hasn't really been a show made like Cold Feet since Cold Feet.
14:46With all of the streaming networks and all,
14:48I'm struggling to think of one.
14:50Yeah, it's just those people at that time of their life,
14:52there's just not much on telly, is there?
14:54No.
14:55We had a leave of absence for 13 years before we came back.
14:58Yeah.
14:59And there was kind of indications it might.
15:02You know, kind of like, no smoke without fire kind of rumours.
15:06And then I got a draft.
15:08I got a pilot for the new series.
15:10And I went, oh, my God, it's actually happening.
15:13And it did.
15:14It was unbelievable, the response.
15:16We got seven million on the first night, on the first show.
15:18Wow.
15:19But you wanted a story on Jimmy.
15:21I just think, cos Jimmy Nesbitt's one of those people,
15:23once you know him, you never forget him.
15:25We had a great night out.
15:26I knew it was going to start with that.
15:28Well, we were in Port Rush filming there.
15:32Yeah.
15:33And two things happened.
15:34One thing, have you ever been anywhere where an isolated cloud has rainfall
15:39and there's no rainfall, say, where you are?
15:42And I went, it's raining here, but it's not here.
15:45Yeah.
15:46And I was like, this is...
15:47I thought it was props running a rain machine.
15:49I just couldn't fathom it out.
15:51Anyway, as the night went on, it did really start to rain.
15:55And Jimmy said, come on, we'll go to this club.
15:57It's great.
15:58Let's see.
15:59I'll have a great time.
16:00I used to go as a youth.
16:01It's brilliant.
16:02So, we went and it wasn't very good.
16:06And we didn't really have a very good time.
16:08And we couldn't get a taxi, so we walked back to the hotel from this club
16:13and it was a long way and it was absolutely pouring down.
16:17He is one of the most genuine, wonderful people I've ever met.
16:21I've had such a...
16:22I mean, he was my best mate while I was doing the show, you know.
16:25Yeah.
16:26We had such great times.
16:27What he doesn't know is that at major Irish sporting events,
16:31we all have a secret rule, which is if you want to remember it the next day,
16:36avoid Jimmy.
16:38So, you just try and not sit near him at events.
16:41So, the Irish rugby, a falling foul to that.
16:44The hurling.
16:45The minute he's there, you're like, it's over.
16:47Las Vegas, Car Frampton, world title fight.
16:52Jimmy was the seat beside me.
16:54That was it.
16:55So, you know, I had to watch the replay the next day to see what happened.
16:59So, he is a dangerous man.
17:01He really is.
17:02Well, Colin, in the words of the Grange Hill cast, just say no.
17:05No, great guy.
17:06Thank you for that.
17:07That's all right.
17:08Another name.
17:09You weren't expecting Jimmy Nesmiths today.
17:10No, I wasn't, but I like being put under pressure.

21:02Over 90, 500ährt of 90.
21:05Yeah.
21:06F
21:22One was...
21:24THEY CONFER
21:309.83, big target, Nathan?
21:339.82.
21:34One away, John?
21:36Nowhere near.
21:36Missed it, don't worry about it.
21:38Seven points, Nathan, for one away.
21:41So, eight plus one?
21:42Eight plus one, nine.
21:43Times a hundred?
21:44Nine hundred.
21:45Add on the 75 and the seven.
21:47Yeah, one away.
21:49Nice, a 9.83, Rachel Riley.
21:51Yeah, a couple of variations on a theme,
21:53but if you start with 100 plus 50,
21:56you could do seven minus one is six,
21:58times those together for 900,
22:01and that leaves you with a 75 and an eight.
22:03Yeah, nice.
22:07Right, our second Tea Town teaser is pure cash.
22:11Pure cash.
22:12Make a cash buy and get a grip.
22:15Make a cash buy and get a grip.
22:17Welcome back.
22:33Make a cash buy and get a grip.
22:36Purchase.
22:36Purchase was the second Tea Time teaser.
22:38Well, John Peake's going to have to be really on the money
22:40if he's going to close this gap on our champion, Nathan.

23:26MUSIC PLAYS
23:45OK, John? I'll try a seven.
23:48Good man. Nathan? Just a six.
23:50The six is? A banger.
23:52And John? Can he be a wagoner?
23:54You certainly can. You can spell it with one g and it's all there for seven.
23:59Well done. Seven points for you there.
24:00But that's really nice. Look how tough that was, John, and you found that seven.
24:04So that's brilliant. Nathan, you're picking these letters.
24:06Start with a vowel, please. Thank you, Nathan.
24:09A. And another.
24:11I. And a third.
24:14A. And a consonant.
24:16H. And another.

24:33G. Kindine.
24:34G. Kindine.
24:44That's our time up, Nathan.
25:07Six again.
25:08Going for a six.
25:09And John?
25:10Six.
25:10And a six as well.
25:11What have you got, Nate?
25:12Shades.
25:13Shades.
25:14And John?
25:15I've got the same word.
25:16Same as well.
25:17All right, lovely.
25:18Six points each to the next three corner.
25:20Got a very nice seven.
25:21OK.
25:22Geishas.
25:23Geishas is a seven.
25:24Japanese.
25:24Nice.
25:25Very good, very good.
25:26Nothing beyond that.
25:27Nothing beyond seven.
25:28Nice.
25:2866.30.
25:29You picked up the pace nicely, but I'm going to stop you in your tracks, John,
25:33because it's time for Origins of Words today.
25:36Susie.
25:36Lovely email again from one of our viewers, this time from Lynn, Lynn Tack,
25:40who asks whether Thwaite means anything in villages called Linthwaite, Slathwaite,
25:47and does it mean, Lynn asked, the same one in a surname, such as Braithwaite.
25:52So, I'm going to talk, obviously, about place names and particularly about Viking place names.
25:58So, I'll start with the most common suffix that they added on to existing English place names,
26:03and that was B-B-Y.
26:04And so, you will find these combinations of English and Scandinavian names, such as Selby,
26:11which means village by the willows, Linby, which beautifully is the village with lime trees,
26:17and Utterby, which is a remote village.
26:20There's Wetherby.
26:21I mean, there's lots and lots of words that have that B suffix.
26:24Sometimes they were named after people who lived there.
26:27So, Prestby was actually named after a priest, clearly, that was quite influential there.
26:32But they did, obviously, the Vikings create full place names,
26:37and you will find Thorpe as something that they brought with them,
26:42and we either had Thorpe on its own or we had it added, again, to other names,
26:46and it meant a secondary village or a settlement that was slightly away from the main one.
26:52So, you have Scottenthorpe in West Riding in Yorkshire,
26:55and that was a place that was near Scotten.
26:57So, it was a kind of additional settlement, if you like.
27:00West Thorpe was to the west of a large settlement, and so on.
27:05Scunthorpe, again, we have an individual at play here.
27:07That was a settlement led by a man called Skuma.
27:11That is how that one began.
27:12But on to Thwaite, which is the one that Lin's asking about,
27:15very commonly used in Viking place names in the Danelaw.
27:18It means a clearing, particularly a clearing in a forest, but also a meadow or a paddock.
27:23So, this is where they first made their home,
27:25usually preceded by an adjective of description.
27:29So, you have Lungthwaite, which was a long clearing,
27:32Applethwaite, which was clearing by the apple trees,
27:35and you have Linthwaite, which is a flax clearing,
27:39and Slathwaite, I did look up how to pronounce this, I think to locals,
27:42it's either Slawit or Slathwaite, but not Slathwaite.
27:45That is either, and this is very contradictory meanings,
27:49either the clearing in the slope of the side of a hill
27:51or the clearing on level land.
27:53So, you can kind of take your pick there.
27:54Both Scandinavian influence there.
27:57But Braithwaite, to finish off, that is simply a broad clearing.
28:01So, people who have the surname Braithwaite
28:03are linked topographically to a place
28:06which had a beautiful open bit of land.
28:09Nice one, Susie. Thank you.
28:10APPLAUSE
28:11Let's get more letters now from John.
28:15A consonant, please.
28:16Thank you, John. M.
28:17Good luck, everybody.
28:47John Peake.
29:16Seven.
29:17And Nathan Mulligan.
29:18A seven.
29:18A seven too. Well done, John.
29:20Matured.
29:21Matured. And Nathan?
29:22Trailed.
29:23Anything above a seven. Any takers?
29:25We have one eight.
29:26Yes.
29:27Muderate.
29:28A muderate.
29:29Yes, which is the jurisdiction of a muder,
29:32a governor of a sub-district in Turkey or Egypt or the Sudan.
29:36There you go.
29:36Common knowledge.
29:37Nice. Thank you. Exactly.
29:3873-37.
29:41Last letters round, and it's on you, Nathan.
29:43Start with a consonant, please.
29:45Thank you, Nathan.
29:46L.
29:47And another.
29:50B.
29:51And another.
29:53N.
29:54Another consonant.
29:56Y.
29:57And a final vowel, please.
30:13And a final.
30:15U.
30:15Last letters.
30:16And a final vowel, please.
30:47Interesting letters these, Nathan.
30:49Just a five.
30:50A five for you and John.
30:51Five.
30:52A five, let's have them.
30:53A loopy.
30:54And what have you got, John?
30:55Ebony.
30:56Ebony and loopy.
30:58Lovely.
30:58Oh, they're nice.
30:59I think there could be something special in there.
31:00What did you see?
31:01So, there's two.
31:03There's per-loney, baloney.
31:05And then there's baloney.
31:06But-loney.
31:07Well, we're talking baloney.
31:08We're talking baloney.
31:09For the first time.
31:10So many different spellings.
31:11So, normally, we'd spell as in that's sheer baloney.
31:14B-A-L-O-N-E-Y.
31:15But you can spell it B-O-L-O-N-E-Y, which is how we're spelling it now.
31:19And, strictly speaking, both baloney and baloney mean sausage.
31:22All right.
31:22Nice.
31:23Excellent.
31:25Right.
31:25Well, listen, a win's beyond you, John.
31:27But it's an afternoon on countdown.
31:29So, let's enjoy every round.
31:30And you're picking the last numbers.
31:32Since they're one of my favourite groups, I'll stick with the four tops.
31:35The four tops.
31:37And the two smalls.
31:39Thank you, John.
31:39Final numbers of the day.
31:41Six and seven.
31:42And then we have 100, 25, 50 and 75.
31:47And the target, 944.
31:50944.
31:51Last numbers.
31:52This is a shot.
32:06This is a shot.
32:07Last nails.
32:08This is a shot.
32:10This is a shot.
32:10This is a shot.
32:11I'm going to be the last thing.
32:12ë‚™udos.
32:12The next time they did.
32:14Here's the shot.
32:15This is a shot.
32:17These are a pool.
32:17Here is the file.
32:18This is a shot.
32:18These are final numbers.
32:19This is a shot.
32:209-4-4, big target, John?
32:25Too far away.
32:26Too far away, Nathan?
32:289-4-5.
32:29One away for seven points.
32:31So I did 100 plus 50 plus 7.
32:36157.
32:37Times by 6.
32:38Times by 6, 942.
32:41And then 75 divided by 25 to add the three on.
32:45And actually, one above, well done.
32:47Now, 9-4-4, Rachel.
32:48A couple of ways to get there.
32:50One of them, you can say 75 times 25 is 1,875.
32:577 plus 6 is 13.
32:59Add that on for 1,888.
33:03And then 100 divided by 50 is 2.
33:06And divide it for 944.
33:11Work about that.
33:12Fantastic.
33:1385 plus 42.
33:15So over is a competition.
33:16But last laugh up for grabs, John.
33:18Let's get your finger on that buzzer.
33:20Nathan, you too, you know the score by now.
33:22We're just going to seal your second win.
33:24But will you get today's Countdown Conundrum?
33:37Go on, John.
33:38Is it curiosity?
33:39Let's have a look.
33:41Yes!
33:43It's a lovely moment to get the conundrum.
33:45Puts you over the half century as well, which is always a good thing.
33:49So, goodie bag, 52 points.
33:52And it's been lovely to have you.
33:53Thank you, mate.
33:55And Nathan's settling in well.
33:56Two wins in the bag.
33:57So we'll see you tomorrow, Swifty.
33:58Sounds great.
33:59That's your name now.
34:00John, Susie, thank you.
34:02And hey, Rachel, you and I, we dance for a tune out the front for the Countdown theme tune?
34:06Never again.
34:07Yeah, it's not going to happen.
