00:30Hello, everybody. It's Thursday, February the 1st. A new month dawns and the good news is one extra countdown this month because it is a leap year. Happy days. One more show, one more day with Rachel and Susie. How are you?
00:45And that's the time when the women can propose to the man. Oh, is that right? Leap years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to watch your back? I didn't know that. Right. I better avoid Susie.
00:54It's also International Face and Body Art Day. Now, the face part of it, I think, gets ignored sometimes, but the face and body painting from children's parties to these amazing body artists, they're fantastic, aren't they?
01:07Yeah, I mean, my girls are four and two now, so they are all over the face paints. And it doesn't matter if it's Halloween, if it's Christmas, she needs to be a butterfly.
01:16But you're tattoo-less. I am. Do you think, never say never, would you get one?
01:20I mean, I don't really have any desire. I change, you know, my style and everything every five minutes and don't like things that I love, you know, ten minutes later.
01:28So to think what I'd actually have and then to go through the pain of having it, I don't think it's going to happen.
01:33Well, listen, Susie Dent, our day of the day, you're always joking with me that you have loads of tattoos and you always cover them up. Come on, what's the truth?
01:40Well, I did a podcast recently with John Bishop and he and I have a pact that we're going to go and have the word apricity, which is one of my favourite words, tattooed, but it hasn't happened yet.
01:51Tasha Guri, not to be creepy, but I know you've got a tattoo.
01:54That's a bit creepy.
01:55It is a little bit, isn't it? And indeed, Andrew, who you met on Love Island, he got a very special sign language tattoo, didn't he?
02:02Yeah, he did. It's actually American Sign Language, so it's this.
02:06Yeah.
02:06And that basically means I love you, which is really, really cute.
02:09That is, I love you.
02:10Yeah, it's got a cochlear implant wrapped around it. It surprised me completely. I didn't expect it.
02:15So, because I always think about rock and roll, do you know what I mean?
02:18Yeah, it's a bit like rock and roll, yes.
02:20That's pretty cool, because there's not much of a difference.
02:23So, if you go to a rock and roll concert, it looks like everyone's going, I love you, rather than the devil's horns, you just put your finger on it.
02:30I love that. Right, and you've got your rose here, haven't you?
02:32Yes, I've got a rose. I've actually got two.
02:34So, I've got one on the side here. That was actually from Mexico, both a drunken antich.
02:38That's a different story, that one.
02:40It's a different one, yeah.
02:42There you go. So, we're both one we regret, one we're happy with.
02:45Yeah.
02:45That's not too bad.
02:46All right, happy days. Tasha with us all week, and James Hussey has been with us all week as well.
02:51How are you doing, Champ?
02:52Really good. Thanks, Colin.
02:53You were telling us about loving the horses yesterday. Tell us about horse power, though, because you love that too.
02:58I do. I was very lucky, once upon a time, to be driven around Monaco on a Ferrari as well.
03:05On a family holiday, pure chance. They were renting out Ferraris for an hour, basically, and got to drive around and be photographed and pretend, at least, to be a little bit famous for a while.
03:17Oh, that's brilliant. I love that. Well, listen, you're famous now with three countdown wins. You're going up against Jack Harvey, who's living in Milton Keynes from the great town of Grimsby. How are you, mate?
03:28I'm very well, thank you. How are you?
03:29Yeah, really good. And getting ready to tie the knot?
03:32Yeah, getting married in June, so not too long now.
03:35Right. Mention your future wife's name. How many contestants do I have to say that to?
03:41Xenia. Xenia. Yeah. Oh, lovely. Warrior Princess. Nearly. Close. Close to, yeah. One letter off. How did you propose?
03:49So I proposed last January, and we were going away for our anniversary, and I'd spent the year before that sort of putting a video together with sort of our friends and family telling the story of us so far.
04:01And it's like half an hour video. So when we went away, she thought we were watching her favourite film, but we were watching that one.
04:08Right. Jack and James, both of you. Best of luck to you.
04:14And James, let's start with the letters.
04:17Thanks, Colin. Hi, Rachel.

05:21Okay.
05:21What are you going to go for, James? How many?
05:27Seven.
05:28Jack, what are you going to do?
05:29Seven.
05:30OK, what have you got, James?
05:32Perking.
05:33Perking.
05:33Yeah, same.
05:34Perking as in perking up, and you look perky.
05:37Did you see anything else?
05:38Yeah, so we've got porking.
05:40OK.
05:41Porking out on food, gorging yourself with food.
05:43Sevens only, then.

06:43Oh, what?
06:43I don't know.
06:45I don't know.

06:48I mean.
06:49What?
06:51What?
06:51What?
06:52Jack.
06:56I'll stick with a six.
06:58James.
06:59I've got for seven.
06:59A six, Jack.
07:01Stream.
07:01And a taken early lead, champ.
07:03Gathers.
07:04Gathers.
07:04Very nice.
07:05A gather, that's it.
07:06No worries.
07:07Right, you two, what else you got for me?
07:09Well, we've got seven letters.
07:11Very unusual one.
07:13Meshuggah.
07:14Meshuggah.
07:14Yes.
07:15Foolish or irrational.
07:16Brilliant Yiddish word.
07:18If we're all meshuggah, we're all behaving a little bit madly.
07:21Nice.
07:22Can I throw a hamster in there?
07:23Hamster we have to throw.
07:24We love hamsters.
07:25At 14-7, first numbers round of the day.
07:30Jack is ready to go, but James is choosing.
07:32Can I go for one large, please, Rachel?
07:34You can indeed.
07:35One large, five little.
07:38The first numbers of the day are one, ten, eight, seven, two.
07:45And the big one, 25.
07:48And the target to reach 703.
07:50703, numbers up.
07:51And the big one, 15-16, and you're out.
08:00Thanks.
08:01Wow.
08:017.03, James.
08:247.01.
08:25Two away. Jack?
08:267.01, not written down.
08:28OK, Jack, you're going first anyway.
08:2910 times 2 is 20, add 8 is 28, times 25 is 700, and add 1.
08:37700 and 1, two away.
08:39Same way.
08:41Excellent. Well done.
08:427 points, 8.
08:43Tricky 7.03, but I know you've got it because you were smiling from about 4 seconds.
08:47Yeah, if you say 8 over 2 is 4, times that by 25 for 100, take away 1 for 99.
08:5599 times 7 is 693, and add on the remaining 10, 73.
09:01Love it. Love it.
09:047.03 in the bag as we get our first Tea Time teaser this afternoon, which is Drys Him.
09:10Drys Him.
09:12Links or knots, you make the connection.
09:15Links or knots, you make the connection.
09:17Welcome back.
09:34Clever Tea Time teaser that.
09:36Links or knots, you make the connection.
09:39The link, Lincolnshire.
09:40The knots were Nottinghamshire, and Midshire was the answer.
09:43All right, 21, 14, and Jack, you're choosing these letters.
09:47A consonant, please, Rachel.
09:48Thank you, Jack.

10:20Thank you, Rachel.
10:21Thank you, Rachel.
10:21Thank you, Rachel.
10:22Thank you, Rachel.
10:31That'll do us. Jack? Six.
10:55A six for you? And James?
10:57I'll try a seven.
10:57Jack, what's the safe six?
10:59Bearing.
10:59Are you going with an ING here?
11:01Barfing?
11:02Oh, just throw up? Barfing?
11:04Barfing.
11:04Yeah, barf is unfortunately definitely in the dictionary
11:08and barfing is absolutely fine.
11:10It's not pleasant, but it gets you the seven points.
11:12You're right to go with it.
11:13Barfing.
11:14It's a very childish word, that.
11:17Was there anything else a little bit more acceptable?
11:19We also got barring.
11:21OK.
11:22Yeah, it's lovely.
11:23I was just looking at pictures of it, actually.
11:25It's a little bird, a barring, of the babbler family.
11:28And on its wings are just sort of little streaks
11:31that look like bars going down.
11:32Beautiful.
11:33Barwing.
11:34Yeah.
11:34And barfing.
11:3628.14.
11:37More letters now from you, James Hossie.
11:39I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
11:41Thank you, James.
11:43D.
11:44And another.
11:47T.
11:48And another.
11:49A final consonant, please.
12:10A final N.
12:13Half a minute.
12:13A final consonant, please.
12:44High hopes here, James.
12:45How many?
12:46Seven.
12:46Seven for you.
12:47And Jack?
12:47Yeah, just a seven.
12:48Seven.
12:49That's not just.
12:49That's great.
12:50What have we got?
12:51Tripods.
12:52Yes.
12:52And for you?
12:54Deposit.
12:55Deposit and tripods.
12:57There was a lot going on there.
12:58Tell you what, I would have loved a vowel instead of a consonant
13:00on the last letter there.
13:02It would have helped out a lot.
13:03How did you get on with those nine?
13:04Well, yeah, pretty well.
13:06Yeah?
13:06So we've got dripstone.
13:08Dripstone for nine?
13:10Yes.
13:10Well done.
13:12What does the dripstone pray tell?
13:14Well, it's either a moulding over a door or a window,
13:17so to deflect the rain,
13:18but also it is literally rocks that are formed by water dripping down,
13:23stalactites, stalagmites, that kind of thing.
13:25Dripstone.
13:26Lovely.
13:27Well, well spotted.
13:28A brilliant nine.
13:29If you've got that at home, double your points,
13:31give yourself 18, but seven points for James,
13:33seven points for Jack as we get our second numbers.
13:36Mr. Harvey?
13:37Can I get one large and five small, please?
13:40You, Kennedy.
13:41Just one from the top.
13:42And five more little ones.
13:44And these five little ones are nine, eight, two, six, and five.
13:51And the large one's 75.
13:54And the target, 882.
13:56It, it, two.
13:57Numbers up.
14:28Time's up.
14:29Jack?
14:298, 8, 3.
14:31One away for you, and James?
14:328, 8, 2.
14:34That's bang on.
14:34So off you go.
14:36Yes, we'll say nine plus two is 11,
14:39multiplied by 75 is 8, 7, 5.
14:43825.
14:44Oh, I've gone very wrong.
14:45Sorry.
14:45Oh, sorry.
14:47I've gone very wrong.
14:49Jack, seven points for you.
14:50Two times six is 12.
14:52Two, six is a 12.
14:53Times 75 is 900.
14:55Yes.
14:56And then take away the nine and the eight.
14:58Yep, one away.
14:59Makes a massive difference to the score, that.
15:02OK, 8, 8, 2, please, Rich.
15:04We'll split this multiplication and say six times 75 is 450.
15:10And before you times it by two, take away nine.
15:129, 4, 4, 1, times 2.
15:14Yeah.
15:15Straight to 8.
15:16Well done.
15:19You were half right there, Jack, but it doesn't matter.
15:21You pick up the points.
15:23We're just seven points difference now as we break bread yet again with Tasha Gurry,
15:28who's making her debut in Dictionary Corner, and every day we get something new to talk
15:33about.
15:33So let's talk about your podcast, Superpowers with Tasha.
15:37Tell me all about it.
15:38So Superpowers with Tasha, something that I've always wanted to do when I came out of Love
15:41Island to have a podcast celebrating amazing differences, celebrating disabilities, and
15:47just really unique stories that are raw and real.
15:50That's what it's all about, celebrating that.
15:51Yeah, because the cochlear, it really does, you describe it as your superpower, right?
15:56Yeah, I do, indeed.
15:57It actually came from my dad.
15:59He pretty much said, it's your superpower, embrace it, and that's where it really originated
16:03from, started from.
16:05And the podcast is there for the younger generation to be able to have that safe space and to not
16:10feel alone or isolated.
16:11So it's really to bring, to make sure they have that confidence and people to look up to
16:15and be inspired by.
16:16So what, I know you're going to do another series of it, because the first series was so successful,
16:21but what type of people do you have on with you?
16:23We haven't filmed it yet, but we are going to see, and it's actually going to be more
16:27broader.
16:28So it could be people, you know, real stories that have done amazing things, that challenge
16:32themselves, and I really want to start bringing more people into that, and just really have
16:37that big, diverse, and a different range of people, different experiences, and I think
16:42the more the better.
16:42So I'm really excited to start on to the second season.
16:45Thank you, Tasha.
16:46APPLAUSE
16:47All right, Jack, you've got to summon up all the power you can to keep up with James.
16:53You're doing well so far.
16:54Just seven points in it, and James, you're choosing the letters.
16:57Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
16:59Thank you, James.
17:00V
17:00A
17:01And another
17:01D
17:03And another
17:04N
17:06And a vowel
17:07I
17:09And another
17:10E
17:11And another
17:13U
17:13And a consonant
17:16M
17:17And another
17:19H
17:20And a final consonant, please.
17:25A final S.
17:26All right, then.
17:27Here we go.
17:27MUSIC
17:29Time's up, James.
17:59Six.
18:00A six from you and Jack.
18:01Yep, also a six.
18:02Six as well.
18:03What have you got?
18:03Shined.
18:04Shined.
18:05Mushed.
18:06Mushed and shined, and loads of EDS, and nothing too clever in there that we can see.
18:11What about yourselves?
18:12We've got seven, so inhumed.
18:15Inhumed.
18:16Yes, so we're talking about exhuming a body, lifting it out of the ground, but inhumed, is to bury it in the first place.
18:23So it's a literary term.
18:26And just to say, in case anyone's thinking shined, it should be shone.
18:29You shine your shoes.
18:31So when it's used in that sense, you can have shined.
18:33Let's try again then.
18:34Jack Harvey.
18:35Consonant, please.
18:36Thank you, Jack.
18:38N
18:38And another
18:40B
18:42One more
18:43L
18:44A vowel
18:46E
18:47And another
18:49A
18:49And another
18:51E
18:53A consonant
18:55M
18:56Consonant
18:58D
19:00And a final consonant, please.
19:03A final S.
19:05Start the clock.
19:10That'll do's.
19:38Jack, how do you get on?
19:39I'll try an eight.
19:41It's going to go for an eight, James.
19:42I'll try an eight as well.
19:44OK, let's see if it's the same word, Jack.
19:46Mendable.
19:46Mendable.
19:47Embalmed.
19:48Susie, two words to check.
19:50Yes, embalmed sounded totally fine to me, but actually it's embalmed, isn't it?
19:54It's two M's.
19:56So I totally get where you were coming from then.
19:58And mendable is absolutely brilliant, yeah.
20:00These clothes are mendable.
20:01Can we do any better?
20:02Just match it.
20:03That's a lot.
20:04All right.
20:05Jack, our challenger, with a one-point lead now as we get their third numbers game.
20:10James, you get to choose them, so a decision to make.
20:12Go for one large, please.
20:15Responding coolly and collectedly.
20:17One large, five little ones more.
20:20And the five small ones, the five, eight, one, five, six.
20:25And the large one, 50.
20:27And this time you need to reach 416.
20:30416.
20:31Numbers up.
20:31All right.
20:49OK, 4-1-6, the target. Did you reach it, James?
21:06Yep. And what about you, Jack?
21:07Yep, 4-1-6. Yeah, off you go, James.
21:09So, I'll say 8 by 50 plus 5 plus 5 plus 6.
21:135, 5 and 6 for the 16. Symbols.
21:17And Jack?
21:17Yep, same way.
21:19Well done.
21:22Nice and straightforward, and neither James nor Jack blinked in a very close game.
21:28103 points handed out and just one point between them.
21:31Going into the last part with his tea-time teaser.
21:34Love this. Nine pugs. Nine pugs.
21:37I like dogs, but I'd rather have nine of these.
21:40I like dogs, but I'd rather have nine of these.
21:43Nine pugs becomes penguins.
22:08And I'm building up quite a collection behind the teapot here of penguins that have been sent in by viewers, given to me by Susie, this one here, and all sorts.
22:18So, there you go. We have a wee raft of penguins behind the teapot.
22:22Right, just one point in it. Jack, you've got a slender lead. Six rounds to go. This one could go all the way.
22:28We haven't had a crucial countdown conundrum in what seems like forever.
22:31So, let's see if it's today. Jack.
22:33I'll start with a consonant, please.
22:34Thank you, Jack.
22:35N.
22:36And another.
22:38G.
22:39And another.
22:41C.
22:42One more, please.
22:44D.
22:46And a vowel.
22:48I.
22:49And another.
22:50O.
22:52And another.
22:53I.
22:54Consonant.
22:59T.
23:00And a final consonant, please.
23:03And a final M.
23:05OK.
23:06Good luck.
23:07Good luck.
23:08Good luck.
23:39Jack? Just a six.
23:41And James? Seven.
23:42And a seven. To retake the lead. Jack, what have you got?
23:45Codeine. Codeine, yes. And James?
23:48Addiction. Ah, very good indeed.
23:50Brilliant. Well done. Well spotted.
23:54Tasha and Susie?
23:55We've got a six. We've got indigo.
23:57Beautiful. Yeah.
23:58So, you're now six points in the lead. Seesaw battle today.
24:01And James, you're choosing.
24:03I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
24:04Thank you, James. T?
24:06And another.
24:07And a vowel, please.
24:14And another.
24:17And another.
24:19And a consonant.
24:22And another.
24:26And a final consonant, please.
24:29And a final.
24:31Peep.
24:32Codeine.
24:32Go on, please.
24:44Go on, please.
24:46Give me a minute.
24:48Bye.
24:48Bye.
24:49Bye.
24:50Bye.
24:52Bye.
24:52Bye.
24:53Bye.
24:54Bye.
24:56Bye.
24:58Excited about this, James?
25:05I'll risk a nine.
25:07And Jack?
25:07I will also risk a nine, not written down.
25:10Jack?
25:10Re-striped?
25:12I've gone for the same word, yeah, re-striped.
25:14OK, so, well, listen, from that point of view,
25:16you're both in the same boat.
25:18You're either getting nothing or you're getting 18 points each.
25:22Let's find out. Looks like nothing.
25:23Oh, I'm so sorry.
25:25It's a brilliant effort.
25:26You might think of re-striping the road,
25:28but not in, I'm afraid.
25:31They were good letters, though,
25:32so what did we manage to get, Susie and Tasha?
25:34We got eight letters, which was re-spired.
25:37Re-spired. Is that to do with the old churches?
25:40It's respiration breathing.
25:42Oh, sorry, respiring, respiratory.
25:44All right, well...
25:44LAUGHTER
25:45Had a bit of brain fog there, haven't I?
25:47I think the spires, church spires.
25:49Put a new spire on it, well, it's perfectly logical.
25:52Respired.
25:54OK, 58-52.
25:55The scores stay the same.
25:57We have four rounds left of Countdown,
25:58and it is time for Origins of Words.
26:01Well, I was doing some legal vocabulary yesterday,
26:05and I'm going to stick with that,
26:07and a few definitions that are related to the law.
26:11Draconian.
26:11If you might think about draconian punishments,
26:13it means incredibly severe.
26:15And you may know, well, you may not know,
26:18that it goes back to a not particularly pleasant person
26:22in the 7th century, an Athenian called Draco.
26:26Now, we have Draco Malfoy, don't we, in Harry Potter.
26:29Draco there means dragon and is quite fitting.
26:33Well, it's quite fitting for this man as well,
26:35because he drew up a new code of laws,
26:38this Draco, in ancient Athens,
26:40and they were incredibly tough.
26:43So, one orator in particular said that Draco's code
26:46was written in blood.
26:47So, when we talk about anything draconian these days,
26:49it's incredibly harsh, and it looks back to him.
26:53Ignoramus.
26:53You might not think that this has anything to do with the law,
26:56but actually, it's from legal Latin,
26:58and it means we take no notice of this.
27:01And that's because ignoramus would be written
27:03on the back of indictments
27:05that were thought to have insufficient evidence
27:07to proceed to court.
27:08So, they would be overlooked.
27:10We take no notice of it.
27:12And there's very serious as to why it came to mean a fool.
27:14One of them is that juries were renowned, supposedly,
27:17for their stupidity, but others, it's basically,
27:20you do not know.
27:21We don't have sufficient evidence,
27:23so the idea of ignorance crept in.
27:25And finally, a culprit.
27:26So, you would associate this with law,
27:28but this came about in a slightly strange way,
27:30it's related to culpable, meaning guilty.
27:34And culpable, when it was written on a legal document,
27:38was abbreviated to cul, C-U-L.
27:41And then what often followed in legal briefs and texts
27:45was the word pressed in Anglo-Norman, P-R-E-S-T,
27:49or pre, and in modern French, it's pré,
27:52it just means ready.
27:53So, if you were cul and then pré,
27:56you were ready for an accusation.
27:58In other words, you were ready to be proven guilty.
28:00But because they were written so often together,
28:02despite the fact that cul was an abbreviation,
28:05they merged and gave us a culprit.
28:06Fantastic. Thank you.
28:10OK, serious business here.
28:12I'm not sure who's going to be back tomorrow.
28:14The words and the letters shall be the judge and jury.
28:17So, let's get on with it.
28:18Jack, you're choosing these letters.
28:20A consonant, please.
28:21Thank you, Jack.
28:22T.
28:23And another.
28:25L.
28:26One more.
28:28D.
28:29Vowel.
28:31I.
28:32And another.
28:33U.
28:34And another.
28:35A.
28:37A consonant.
28:39R.
28:40Vowel.
28:42O.
28:43And a final consonant, please.
28:46A final.
28:47Q.
28:48Bay grinders.
28:49Good luck.
29:02OK, Jack, seven.
29:22Seven from you. James?
29:23Seven.
29:24What's the word, Jack?
29:25Auditor.
29:25James?
29:26Yep, the same word.
29:27Same.
29:28Yep.
29:29Slim pickings in there, dictionary corner.
29:31Yes, seven for us as well, which was dilator.
29:35Dilator in there too.
29:36Dilator muscle in your eye, for example.
29:38Yeah, an auditor, and we are just sitting,
29:41waiting on something to give.
29:42Six points in at last letters round.
29:45And, James, you're in control of the vowels and consonants.
29:49I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
29:51Thank you, James.
29:52C.
29:53And another.
29:55R.
29:56And another.
29:57P.
29:59And a vowel.
29:59A.
30:02And another.
30:03E.
30:04And another.
30:06O.
30:07And a consonant.
30:09L.
30:10And another.
30:13N.
30:14And a final vowel, please.
30:17A final U.
30:19Last letters.
30:20O.
30:35This.
30:36This.
30:36This.
30:37This.
30:45This.
30:46This.
30:47James?
30:52Try an eight.
30:53Yeah, and Jack?
30:54Just a seven.
30:55Just a seven. What is a seven?
30:57Unclear.
30:58This will break you through that ten-point lead barrier, James.
31:01Unparcel.
31:02To unparcel. You can unwrap. Can you unparcel?
31:05Ah, this is just so unlucky, because I think unparceled is in there.
31:12Not divided into parcels, but you can't actively unparcel something.
31:16I'm sorry.
31:17So sevens, take it. We are clear on that point, but was there anything else?
31:21We've got sevens again, so we've got pouncer.
31:23Yeah.
31:24Copula.
31:25And copula, which is all to do with connecting words in linguistics.
31:28Wow. OK, well, look at this. Can you catch your breath?
31:31Jack now takes a one-point lead again. Two rounds left.
31:36Final numbers, and you're choosing, Jack.
31:38I'll stick with one large part.
31:40Big decisions. See whose nerves can best stand the pressure here.
31:45Final numbers today.
31:46Eight, seven, seven, three, four.
31:52And the large one, 50.
31:53And the target, 395.
31:56395.
31:57And the four, five last numbers.
32:05¶¶
32:07So many people at home finished that in five seconds,
32:32but you're not here under this pressure.
32:34Let's find out. Jack.
32:35I think I just about got it at the last second, but not written down.
32:39OK, you never write anything down.
32:41James?
32:41Yeah, 395.
32:42And written down?
32:43Yeah.
32:44OK, Jack, you're going first anyway.
32:4550 times 8 is 400.
32:48Yeah, that's most of the way there.
32:49Take away 4, and then 7 over 7 is 1, and take that away as well.
32:53Yeah, the studio does stuff to you, but you got there in the end.
32:57And same way, James?
32:58Yeah, just 8 by 57 over 7, 1 plus 4 is 5, and take it away.
33:04Same thing, yeah, just pass it over him.
33:07I believe you.
33:08Excellent.
33:09Good work.
33:12OK, every time James thought he was getting clear of a challenger,
33:15Jack, he got pegged back.
33:17There is just one point in it,
33:20which means for the first time in ages,
33:22we get a crucial countdown conundrum.
33:24Will it be a case of hit the road, Jack,
33:27or will it be home for James?
33:29Let's find out as we reveal today's crucial countdown conundrum.
33:36Straight in, Jack for the win.
33:37Knowledge.
33:38Jack for the teapot.
33:39Has he shown supreme knowledge?
33:41Yes!
33:44And that was in about two seconds.
33:47Well done, sir.
33:48You get the teapot.
33:50I'm afraid I can't pay for your wedding with a big cash prize,
33:53but that is priceless.
33:54So there you go, teapot for you.
33:57Oh, mate, you'll have to saddle up and get out of here.
34:00What a shame.
34:01What a shame.
34:01Good contest, though.
34:03You did really well.
34:04No, well-deserved.
34:04Great winner.
34:05Safe trip home.
34:06Thank you, mate.
34:06Thanks very much.
34:07Thanks, everyone.
34:07Well done.
34:08See you tomorrow, Tash.
34:09See you tomorrow.
34:10See you, Suze.
34:10Yeah, look, we'll see.
34:11Hey, Rich, do you think, you know, tattoo day and all that,
34:14do you think there's many people have countdown tattoos?
34:16I know there's at least one,
34:18because I remember a guy who won eight
34:20and came back for the finals with the countdown sleeve.
34:22He had the teapot and the clock
34:24and all the different colours
34:25dedicated to the cause.
34:27I've got the teapot,
34:28but I'm not telling you where.
34:29We'll be back here tomorrow,
34:30ink and her pens,
34:31ready to go again.
34:33It's Rachel, Susie and I.
34:34You can count on us.
