00:30Hello, everybody. It's Monday, January 15th, as we reunite for another five afternoons of Letters and Numbers.
00:38Thank you so, so much for tuning in.
00:40Let me introduce Rachel Annabelle Riley, MBE, a British television presenter who co-presents the Channel 4 daytime puzzle show Countdown and its comedy spinoff 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
00:53Nice to meet you.
00:54That is your Wikipedia entry, and Wikipedia was launched on this day in 2001.
01:01Happy birthday, Wikipedia.
01:02You know, I trained as a journalist in the era before you could just go, who's that person? What happened there?
01:10I remember interviewing E17 over the phone, and you got a press release, you got a biography on paper sent by them, and then there was a thing called clippings.
01:23You used to get clippings, which was other articles photocopied that had been written about them. It was terrible.
01:30Well, I mean, at least from their point of view, they can tell you what they want to tell you, because not anyone can edit it.
01:36I mean, the amount of paperclip millionaires and Colombian drugs lords that Susie Dent's been married to on Wikipedia, I can't tell you.
01:42Right, well, let's give Dictionary Corner the wiki introduction as well.
01:47Please welcome an English lexicographer, etymologist, media personality, and former wife of six Colombian drug lords.
01:55Susie Dent.
01:56Yeah.
01:56Susie.
01:57Hello.
01:58See, you've corrupted my intros now.
02:01That's not on wiki.
02:02Well, re-joining us in Dictionary Corner and myself for the first time, what does wiki say?
02:07She's a chancellor of Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.
02:11She was judge on BBC Two's Great British Menu for 11 years before joining the Great British Bake Off on March 2017.
02:20It's the national treasure that is Prue Leith.
02:25Thank you for being here, Prue.
02:27We've got a new champion that you can meet today, which is Jan Scowcroft.
02:32And Jan is a former French and Spanish teacher who loves a bit of choral singing.
02:37Oh, you had the weekend to think about it, and here you are back again.
02:40How are you?
02:40Yes, I'm fine, thank you.
02:42Good.
02:42Tell us about the family who are watching back home, cheering you on.
02:46Okay, well, I've got my son, Dan, and his wife, Jo, who've got a five-month-old daughter at the moment.
02:53So it's our first granddaughter.
02:55We're really enjoying looking after her, visiting her.
02:59And then there's my daughter, Jenny, who's just moved to London.
03:03Oh, nice.
03:04So she's living the high life in London at the moment.
03:06Well, you're up against Dorian Jeffrey today.
03:08Dorian's from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
03:10How are you, Dorian?
03:12Ready.
03:13Born ready, Dorian.
03:15But you brought someone with you.
03:16Tell me all about who you brought.
03:19This is Monkey.
03:21Yes.
03:22Monkey is my emotional support animal.
03:25Yes.
03:26And a very good psychologist.
03:28Well, he can be under the table for the rest of the show.
03:30Go on, Monkey.
03:30Down you go.
03:31I can't let you keep him out, because then this is going to turn into bloomin' blockbusters.
03:35People will be bringing him every single day, you know.
03:37I'd like a P, please.
03:40Good luck to Dorian and Jan.
03:44And Jan, as you know.
03:46Well, no, you don't.

04:59Jan? Seven. And Dorian? Seven. Seven as well. Well done. Jan?
05:04Gustier. Gustier. And Dorian? Ugliest.
05:08Ugliest and gustier. Two very strong words. They are, aren't they?
05:12Let's start today. How did Sue Prue get on? Gristle. Yes.
05:16Gristle is seven. We didn't get beyond seven, did we?
05:19We didn't. No, lurgies is a good one. I did lurgie.
05:23Right, well, there wasn't many nice sevens in there.
05:27But very strong indeed. Really good start.
05:29And Dorian, you're in charge of the letters this time.
05:31Consonant, please. Thank you, Dorian.

06:41And Jan?
06:42I'll try a seven.
06:43I'm going to try a seven.
06:45Dorian?
06:45Fomia.
06:46Fomia.
06:47And Jan?
06:48Formate.
06:49Formate and formia is obviously good.
06:51Formate?
06:52Fomia is fine.
06:53And formate, too, yes, it's a salt of formic acid emitted by ants.
06:57So, absolutely fine for seven.
06:59There you go.
06:59What star?
07:00All the sevens?
07:01Pro anything beyond that?
07:03How about erotica?
07:05Yes.
07:06None on my computer.
07:07Rude for Monday afternoon.
07:09You've gone early.
07:10Well, you know what erotica means, but I didn't know what formate.
07:14That says everything.
07:15It tells me something about you.
07:16It tells me something about you, too.
07:18Let me tell you.
07:19Right, Jan, numbers, please.
07:21Can I have one large and five small, please?
07:24You can, indeed.
07:24Thank you, Jan.
07:25One large, five little first numbers of the week.

07:44MUSIC CONTINUES
08:14Dorian?
08:15Sine.
08:15OK, both two away.
08:17Jan, off you go.
08:188 minus 3 is 5.
08:208 minus 3 is 5.
08:235 times 6 is 30.
08:24Yep.
08:2530 times 25 is 750.
08:28It is.
08:29And take away the other 6.
08:30Well done.
08:32And Dorian?
08:33Yep.
08:35Lovely.
08:35There you go.
08:357 points each.
08:367, 4, 6.
08:38The target.
08:40I found one way, eventually.
08:41If you say 7 minus 3 is 4, 4 times 25 is 100.
08:48Less 6 is 94.
08:50Times that by 8 is 752.
08:54And you have a remaining 6 to take away.
08:56Well done.
08:57APPLAUSE
08:58Yeah, tricky one, that, isn't it, for the first one of the week?
09:02And our first Tea Time Teaser of the week is Since Flu.
09:05Not as in wings, as in F-L-U.
09:08Since Flu.
09:09A couple of American coins related to botany.
09:13A couple of American coins related to botany.
09:16Welcome back, everybody.
09:32A couple of American coins related to botany.
09:35The answer was, well, I'd say funnicles, but given the clue, it must be few nickels.
09:39Few nickels.
09:40Yeah.
09:41OK.
09:41Yes, a few nickels.
09:42Yeah, so this is the stalk that attaches an ovule, or a seed of a plant, to its ovary.
09:51Because flowering plants have ovaries as well.
09:53So, botanical definition.
09:54Lovely.
09:55Thank you very much.
09:5621 points each.

11:17Prue, they're doing very well.
11:18Seven's every single round.
11:19Susie, any better?
11:20Antipode is there.
11:23Antipody as well.
11:24Exactly.
11:24Yes.
11:25Same idea.
11:26The direct opposite of something, so at the other end.
11:29Yeah?
11:29How do you spell that?
11:30Is that an eight?
11:31That's an eight.
11:32There you go.
11:32Yeah, the I and the A at the end.
11:34Very good.

12:46Dossing. Dossing. And Dorian?
12:49Goldies.
12:51Goldies.
12:53Yes. European goldfinch, the yellow hammer or golden retriever.
12:58You can take the pick. Well done.
13:00Is that what you thought it was, Dorian?
13:02Not a clue, mate. Doesn't matter.
13:04Sevens, sevens, no surprise.
13:06How did Dictionary Corner get on?
13:08What about godliness? Godliness for nine.
13:10Nine. Yes, brilliant.
13:12APPLAUSE
13:15Brilliant if you manage to get that at home.
13:1835 points each, second numbers round.
13:20Dorian, you're choosing?
13:22Six more, please. Six more.
13:24This is going to break the deadlock, potentially.
13:26Six little ones coming up for you.
13:28Let's see what kind of challenge we have.
13:30They are five, five, six, four, seven and three.
13:36And the target, 576.

13:48Mal, you're going to get help.
13:52Three, two, three, two, three.
13:54When we don't get help.
13:56By the way, we're on zoo, each is 406.
13:58The road lot goes on and time's road.
14:01Two, one's all right.
14:02In the day hé already.
14:03We are good.
14:045-7-6, Dorian.
14:165-7-9.
14:19Three away. Jan.
14:205-7-9.
14:21Look at this. We can't even separate them in six small.
14:24Go ahead, Dorian.
14:27Time's up, mate.
14:29Blowing it. Blowing it!
14:31Ruined the whole afternoon. Don't worry about it.
14:33Jan, off you go.
14:355 times 5 is 25.
14:37Yep.
14:384 times 25 is 100.
14:426 times 100 is 600.
14:44Yes.
14:457 times 3 is 21.
14:48And take that away.
14:49Three away. Well done.
14:50Excellent. Now, work on your heart this Monday afternoon.
14:53What about this?
14:54Well, so much of this is the right track.
14:565 times 5 is 25, times 5 by 4 is 100.
15:01But 7 minus 3 is 4, which you can take away here for 96.
15:05And then times 5 by 6 for 5-7-6.
15:07That's always a little annoying, Jan, isn't it?
15:13Just a little.
15:13You nearly made it.
15:14Don Mario, you got the seven points.
15:16What a good contest today.
15:17As we cross the dictionary corner for a little chat with Prue Leith.
15:20Shall we start with the Bake Off and we'll go from there throughout the week?
15:24I think it's interesting, isn't it, when a show grows global success.
15:30That's crazy, isn't it?
15:31You know?
15:32I mean, it's about eating cake.
15:36Yeah, it is.
15:37I mean, we now, Paul and I judge American Bake Off as well, and that's called The Great
15:44American Baking Show.
15:45Yes.
15:46But they still get the British one, which is more popular.
15:49Wow.
15:50I mean, they're both hugely popular.
15:51So they get a double dose, the poor Americans.
15:55A double serving.
15:56A double serving.
15:57A double serving, yes.
15:59They get a double serving of Bake Off.
16:00Do you go to the States a lot?
16:02Have you got to see first person people going, oh, hey, pro!
16:05And yes, and they are very out front about it, you know.
16:09The British, you know, if they recognise you, they're quite polite and they often don't.
16:15They say, well, I'd love to have a photograph, but I don't want to bother you or whatever,
16:18you know.
16:19But the Americans are not like that.
16:21They're just straight in your face, you know.
16:24It's you.
16:25It's you.
16:25It's really you.
16:26One woman said, I can't believe it.
16:28I can't believe it.
16:29And I thought she was going to faint.
16:33It's just a telly show.
16:35Yeah.
16:36Well, I don't know what you brought for us, what you did bake and brought to the studio
16:40table.
16:40I'm looking forward to you revealing it at some stage this week.
16:44You'd have to bring stuff, wouldn't you?
16:46It'd be rude if you didn't.
16:47Prue, thank you so much.
16:52Lovely stuff.
16:54Lovely stuff.
16:55Right, here we go.
16:56Whose turn is it?
16:57It's you, Jan?
16:58Can I start with a consonant, please?
17:00Thank you, Jan.
17:00And a second.

17:21I.
17:22A consonant.
17:25B.
17:26And a consonant, please.
17:28And lastly, N.
17:30Start the clock.

17:59A consonant.
18:00A consonant.
18:02How do you get on, champ? A six.
18:04A six from you and Dorian.
18:06Six.
18:07You're hard to split. What have you got?
18:09Invade.
18:10Invade and Dorian.
18:12Bighted.
18:13And baited and invade.
18:15And we're down to six's Dictionary Corner.
18:17We've got a couple of sevens.
18:18Yes.
18:19Ambient.
18:20Oh, love it.
18:21Ambient.
18:22Love it.
18:23And I'm not sure what a mediant is.
18:25Mediant is a musical term and it's the third note of the diatonic scale.
18:29There you go.
18:30Of course I really knew that.
18:31That'd be like an ambient note.
18:32I just forgot.
18:33Could be an ambient note.
18:34We'll go with that.
18:35Mediant and ambient would have managed to get you seven points.
18:39Six points here in the game as Dorian picks again.
18:42Consonant, please.
18:44Thank you, Dorian.
18:45H.
18:46And another.

19:01And a consonant.
19:02G.
19:03And another consonant.

19:49Dorian.
19:50Just a five.
19:51Just a five here, Jan.
19:52And a five.
19:53And a five as well.
19:54These were tricky letters.
19:55Dorian.
19:56Humps and?
19:57Mouse.
19:58A mouse and humps.
19:59Yep, absolutely fine.
20:01I'm guessing there's not a six.
20:03We did get a seven.
20:04And it's Gumshoe.
20:06Gumshoe!
20:07Gumshoe, a detective who's stealth.
20:09Yes!
20:10Wonderful word.
20:11Yeah, all about quietness and stealth.
20:13At 53-46 is the scores.
20:15We're in that crucial countdown conundrum territory.
20:18I get way ahead of myself, Jan.
20:20Let's just get numbers.
20:21Can I have one large and five small, please?
20:23You can indeed, thank you, Jan.
20:25One from the top.
20:26And five littlins.
20:28This time they are seven, six, two, five, ten.
20:33And the large one, fifty.
20:35And the target, three hundred and forty-nine.
20:38Three, four, nine.
20:39Numbers up.
20:40Two, five, ten.
20:41And that's what I want.
20:42And I would like to see a eleven.
20:43Even who leads theします,
20:44Two, five, ten.
20:45And the ONE.

21:16I wonder whether you went the simple way.
21:18Jan?
21:2050 times 7.
21:213-50.
21:23And then I did 10 over 2.
21:25It's 5.
21:275 over 5 is 1.
21:28Yeah.
21:293-50 minus 1 is 3-4-9.
21:30Interesting way to get you on there, Jan.
21:33Dorian?
21:347 times 50, 3-50.
21:376 minus 5 is 1.
21:39Take it away.
21:40Yes.
21:40No expect.
21:41Well done.
21:43APPLAUSE
21:44I wondered what you were writing, Jan, but now I know.
21:48Now I know why it took you a bit longer.
21:50Right, let's get our second Tea Time teaser this Monday afternoon.
21:53And it's Tin Fudge.
21:55Tin Fudge.
21:57No sweets for his birthday and no exceptional talents.
22:00No sweets for his birthday and no exceptional talents.
22:04Ungifted, ungifted, just for the record, Rachel and Susie, my birthday's next in here.
22:30I like any mint chocolate, so send that to me.
22:33Two very gifted contestants today.

24:00Very nice. Well done to you.
24:01APPLAUSE
24:0463 points.
24:05Eves, Proulis?
24:06We've got two eights.
24:08Lodestar and leotards.
24:10And leotards. Countdown faithful.
24:13Always, always. And Lodestar is the Polestar.
24:16Yeah.

24:21Thank you, Jan.

25:07I'll beım位.
25:08So, you just can hear them.
25:09E.
25:10Be, you find a love for more than a substantially,
25:11but we feelomany.
25:11Whoa.
25:12Well done.
25:12It's your plan.
25:13You've got someone warm up and a half.
25:13No wrap.
25:14Shells on your life.
25:15Natureena.
25:16Yeah.
25:17It's a good thing.
25:17We can hear them film a ton like radio.
25:19Yeah.
25:20?
25:20Yeah.
25:21I know.
25:21I know you're YouTube.
25:22Yeah.
25:23I know you're cute.
25:24That is time.
25:28Jan?
25:28Six.
25:29Six from you.
25:30Dorian?
25:31I'll try a seven.
25:31Going to try a seven to take the lead, or it'll be Jan with a six-point lead.
25:35What have you got?
25:36Purges.
25:37Purges.
25:38What's the seven?
25:39Burpees.
25:40Oh, it's in the exercise.
25:43Yes, and they are in.
25:45I always think, oh, it's an eponym named after Royal Burpee,
25:49who was an American psychologist, but it's got a small B,
25:52and it's absolutely fine.
25:53Look at that!
25:54Yes, yes.
25:56Feeling the bone there, Jan.
25:59What else have we got in Dictionary Corner?
26:00A couple of sevens.
26:01You can actually add a second E to purges and have purgees,
26:05so people who are expelled from organisation,
26:07and also burgees, flags bearing the emblem of a sailing club.
26:11Dorian, you've surged ahead.
26:13There's four rounds left.
26:15You look a little nervous.
26:16I'm going to make you more nervous,
26:17because there's nothing worse than having to wait.
26:19It's time for Origins Awards.
26:20Yes, so Mary Slater has been in touch,
26:23and she's originally from Washington, D.C.,
26:27lives in the U.K. now, is married to a Brit.
26:29But she's asking about an expression
26:30that her mum used to deliver quite regularly,
26:34and she was from Ohio, her mum.
26:36And whenever, says Mary, we asked her what for or why,
26:41she'd say, cat for to make kitten britches, dog for wouldn't do.
26:47And she says, I realise it's just saying don't ask a stupid question,
26:50but I've never heard it before or since in the U.S. or the U.K.
26:53Where does it come from?
26:54I hadn't heard of it either.
26:55And it does seem completely nonsensical,
26:58and in a way that's the idea of it,
27:00because when you ask people for their family sayings,
27:02you come up with some very bizarre things.
27:04So one of my favourites is a Northamptonshire substitute for I'm Busy.
27:09So when a child comes up to you and says, can we play?
27:11Can you come and play? Can we do this, that and the other?
27:13And you just want to fob them off in some way.
27:15You'll say, not just now, I'm making a whim-wham for water wheels.
27:19And a whim-wham is any sort of little trinket.
27:22It doesn't really make sense.
27:23What the water wheels have to do with it is anyone's guess.
27:25And there are so many.
27:28You could ask somebody, how was your day?
27:31And I remember one person on Twitter saying that their dad would say,
27:35oh, you know, found an egg cup, lost an egg.
27:37How about you?
27:38So I'm really grateful to Mary,
27:40because it got me down that lovely rabbit hole
27:42of very strange, bizarre family sayings,
27:45but that mean the world.
27:46Thank you, Susie.
27:50Well, what a turnaround we've had here.
27:52From seven points down to seven points up,
27:54our challenger, Dorian Jeffery, with four rounds left.
27:58So all to play for, Jan and Dorian.
28:00And Dorian, you're choosing.
28:02Consonant, please, Rachel.
28:03Thank you, Dorian.
28:04R.
28:05And another.

29:19Absolutely fine, both.
29:20Yeah.
29:21Sixes from Jan and Dorian, anything?
29:23Above that.
29:25Artwork for seven.
29:26That paints a pretty picture.
29:28It keeps the score so, so tight.
29:31Jan, can you believe this tension for a Monday?
29:33What's going on?

30:52Susie and Prue.
30:54Susie's come up with, I imagine you said, nopales.
30:58Yes.
30:59Nopales, which is the fleshy pads of the nopal cactus used in Mexican cuisine.
31:05So I should have known about it, but I don't.
