00:30Hello, everybody. Thank you very much for tuning in for the last Countdown of the week. Much appreciated. Hiya, Rachel.
00:38Hello, Colin.
00:39Today is World Player Ukulele Day. This sounds like an overstatement, but it's probably true. I don't think anything gives me more joy than my ukulele. Anything that I own.
00:50Really?
00:51Yeah, I mean, I brought mine with me today.
00:53Is this your girlfriend watched the Countdown?
00:55I brought mine with me today. It is such a special instrument.
01:00First of all, because it's easy to play. So you've not got much talent. And if you hit the notes are so simple. Look how easy it is. Right? But here's the best thing about it.
01:12What was that last note?
01:14Oh, right. There's this.
01:14Right. But you see, if you hit a wrong note, it doesn't make an awful sound. You know, like if someone's learned to play the drums badly or a violin or whatever. It's a great one for kids because it's so easy. One finger notes everywhere. So nice.
01:29Lovely. All around there.
01:30Yeah. Is it jumping flea? It is, yeah. The origin of the word goes back to Hawaii if you play it really well, which I can't. Your fingers look like a jumping flea going about.
01:40That's nice. It's a lovely sound.
01:42Listen, for anyone out there who plays a uke in their house, ukulele orchestras, the ukulele jams that take place in pubs all over the UK. I know it's a phenomenally successful instrument. Enjoy playing your uke today and every other day that you do because it brings a lot of good mental health. I know that instrument.
01:59All right. Let's get over to Dictionary Corner then. Always hitting the right note is our Susie Dent, our G of the D. And what a debut week it has been for the brilliant Tasha Gurry, who we've really got to know. Nice to have you back.
02:10Yeah. Happy to be back.
02:13Right. And we've got a new champion in Jack Harvey from Grimsby, the pride of Grimsby. How are you doing?
02:19I'm very well, thank you. How are you?
02:20Do you play any instruments?
02:22No, I don't.
02:23Right. Well, listen, good luck. Hopefully a second hit for you today. You're up against Nick Wood from Kent. How are you, sir?
02:29Very well, thanks. Yeah.
02:30Yeah, there's loads of reputable things about you. You're well-read. You work in financial services, which is why I want to talk to you about your rational fear.
02:39Yeah. I feel a bit strange admitting this on national television.
02:43You should. You should do.
02:44And it stems from a childhood experience, but partially deflated balloons.
02:49Right. So a phobia of partially deflated balloons. So I was thinking about this, because how do you avoid them? I'm thinking like New Year's Day.
02:58You just don't go out, right? All the parties have finished from New Year's Eve. The streets could be littered with them.
03:04Yeah. And having a seven-year-old daughter doesn't help. And she's attuned to that fear. She can smell fear.
03:11Never turn up to a birthday party late.
03:14No.
03:16Brilliant. Well, listen, hopefully you're not left feeling deflated in about 45 minutes from now.
03:21Good luck to Nick and good luck to Jack.
03:23Very strange one, Nick. Right, Jack, let's get underway.
03:29Hi, Rachel.
03:30Hi, Jack.
03:30Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:32You can indeed. Start today with S.
03:35And another.
03:37T.
03:38And one more.
03:41P.
03:41A vowel.
03:43Vowel.

03:53Another consonant.
03:55M.
03:56A vowel.
03:58U.
04:00And a final consonant, please.
04:03A final.
04:04N.
04:05At home and in the studio, let's play Kind Time.
04:07A vowel.
04:26A vowel.
04:27Right, first blood then. Jack?
04:40Just a seven. A seven. A nick?
04:42Seven. Jack? A stumped.
04:45Yes, a nick. Stipened.
04:48Stipened. Very nice, yeah.
04:49How did you get on? So, the eight-letter word that we had was dumpiest.
04:53Dumpiest. Yes, and we also had impudent.
04:55That's quite a collection of words you managed to kick off today.
04:58All right, Nick, you're picking these letters.
05:01All right, sure. Vowel, please.
05:03All right, Nick. Start with O.
05:06And another.
05:08E.
05:09And another, please.
05:11A.
05:12And a consonant.
05:14G.
05:16And another.
05:17K.
05:19And another.
05:20D.
05:21And another.
05:22S.
05:23And another.
05:26N.
05:27And a vowel, please.
05:29And a final E.
05:31And 30 seconds.
05:32And a vowel, please.
05:33And a vowel, please.
05:34And a vowel, please.
05:34And a vowel, please.
05:35And a vowel, please.
05:36And a vowel, please.
05:37And a vowel, please.

05:56And a vowel, please.
05:57And a vowel, please.
05:58Time's up, Nick.
06:04Seven.
06:04Just the seven, Jack?
06:06Also seven.
06:07What have you got, Nick?
06:08Sneaked.
06:09Sneaked in with that, and same with you, Jack?
06:10Yes, sir.
06:11Yeah.
06:12So you're reaching for the bit of paper straight away.
06:14Sneaked, the obvious seven.
06:16What else do we have there, Tash?
06:17We've got six letters, so dosage.
06:19Yeah, dosage.
06:20Dosage.
06:21Yeah, couldn't get beyond sneaked.
06:23There you go.
06:23As good as it is.
06:24As good as it is.
06:2514 points each.
06:26Hopefully another close affair today.
06:29Jack, of course, became champion yesterday on that crucial conundrum.
06:32So maybe more drama today.
06:33Mr Harvey, your numbers.
06:35I'll stick with one large and five small, please.
06:37One large.
06:39Five little coming up for you, Jack.
06:40First one of the day is five.
06:43One.
06:44Oh.
06:45Three.
06:46Another three.
06:47Eight.
06:48And the large one, 75.
06:50And the target, 530.
06:52Five, three, zero.
06:53Numbers up.
06:56Five, three, zero.
07:25Jack.
07:26Yeah, five, three, zero.
07:27And Nick.
07:27Yeah, 530.
07:29Excellent.
07:29Off you go, Jack.
07:30Eight take away, one is seven.
07:32Seven.
07:33Times 75 is five to five.
07:35Add five.
07:35Simple.
07:37Straight forward, Nick.
07:38Yeah, same one.
07:40Well done.
07:40Like that.
07:4524 points each as we head to our first break of this Friday afternoon as the weekend awaits.
07:50Brag fest.
07:52Brag fest.
07:53They can't go with the flow.
07:55They're too big.
07:56They can't go with the flow.
07:58They're too big.
07:59Brag fest became fatbergs, Susie.
08:25Pray tell, what is a fatberg?
08:26You really don't ever want to see these.
08:28So they are large masses of solid waste that you'll find down the sewer system, hence can't
08:34go with the flow.
08:36Including fat, but all sorts of unmentionables all come together.
08:39You know, things that we dispose of when we shouldn't, like wet wipes.
08:42Yeah.
08:42And they all congeal.
08:45Fatberg.
08:45Horrible.
08:46Oh, horrible word.
08:47Which I'm the best.
08:49Right, let's get on with the game.
08:50We'll put that out of our memories, Nick, and we'll get nine letters.
08:54Yeah, vowel, please.
08:55Thank you, Nick.
08:56And here we go.
09:5630 seconds has passed.
09:57Nick, what have you got?
09:58A seven.
09:59And Jack?
10:00Also a seven.
10:01Right, here we go.
10:02Matching each other again.
10:03Coupled.
10:04Coupled.
10:05Yeah.
10:06A seven's got to be as good as it is, Tash.
10:08So we've got an eight-letter red, which is cupulate.
10:11What's that mean?
10:12No, well, the all rights are.
10:13So this is a building that has a cupular, and that is a rounded dome that forms a roof or
10:20a ceiling.
10:21So if you think of the Radcliffe camera in Oxford, that kind of thing, that has a cupular,
10:25it is, that library is cupulared.
10:27Nice.
10:27Fantastic.
10:28Well done.
10:31Right, if you manage to get that at home, please do apply to come on Countdown.
10:34At some stage, you really should, if you spotted that word.
10:38And you do that very, very simply.
10:39You just get on the email address.
10:41It's very, very led back, and it's countdown at channel4.com, the number four.
10:45And you just say, hey, how you doing, guys?
10:47Love to be on the show, and we'll get in touch with you and take it from there.
10:50And also, if you'd like Susie to look into the origin of any word, you can use that email
10:55address as well.
10:56Countdown at channel4.com.
10:58More letters now.
10:59Jack.
11:00Consonant, please, Rachel.
11:01Thank you, Jack.
11:02T.
11:03And another.
11:06S.
11:07And one more.
11:09W.
11:10Vowel.
11:13E.
11:14Another vowel.
11:16I.
11:17Consonant.

11:46And a final consonant, please.
11:47And a final consonant, please.
11:48And a final consonant, please.
11:49And a final consonant, please.
11:50And a final consonant, please.
11:51And a final consonant, please.
11:52And a final consonant, please.
11:53OK, Jack.
12:04I'll risk a nine. I don't think it's right there.
12:06Nick?
12:08Eight.
12:09No risk here.
12:11What have you got for eight?
12:13Watering.
12:13What's your nine?
12:14I've added the S, so waterings.
12:17Sadly, it's just there as the form of a verb.
12:20It's not there as a noun that you can put the S on.
12:22I'm so sorry, Jack.
12:24There were great letters.
12:25Definitely more than one eight in there.
12:26What have you got for me?
12:28I've got more eights.
12:29We've got sweating, swearing or garnets.
12:32Garnets for seven, yeah.
12:33Right, second number round of the day.
12:36You've got your nose in front, Nick.
12:37Let's see if you can keep it there.
12:38Yeah, one large and five small, please.
12:41One large five little coming up, Nick.
12:43And for the second time today, the numbers are ten, four, two, five,
12:50eight, and a large one, 75.
12:53And the target to reach 331.
12:56331.
12:56Numbers up.
13:013-3-1.
13:29Talk to me, Nick.
13:303-3-2, not written down.
13:33Missed it. Jack?
13:34I think 3-3-1.
13:36Off you go.
13:3775 add 8.
13:3883.
13:39Times 4.
13:403-3-2.
13:41And then 10 over 2 is 5.
13:43Over the other 5 is 1.
13:45And take that away.
13:46Marvellous. 3-3-1. Well done.
13:48APPLAUSE
13:51Two-point lead.
13:53As we talk once more with Tasha at Gurry in Dictionary Corner
13:57for the first time.
13:59And we try to go through as much as we can in the week.
14:01Of course, came into the public eye on Love Island.
14:04Already successful as a model.
14:06Now a podcaster, an author.
14:08And we've talked about representation
14:10and the work that you've done for charities.
14:12Of course, Love Island is the key to that, isn't it?
14:15Yeah, basically.
14:16It's given me that platform which I'm so grateful for
14:18that I can use my platform for the better
14:20and for positive reasons, you know?
14:22Tell me about the charities that you're working for.
14:24So many, actually.
14:25Yeah, so for me, I actually worked with a small charity
14:27called Deaf Kids even before Love Island.
14:29I tried to raise as much money as I could for them.
14:32And I came out and I said I still want to work with them
14:35and still raise as much awareness.
14:37And they basically look after children
14:39because they are more vulnerable to domestic abuse,
14:41unfortunately, because of their deafness.
14:44They can't have access to hearing doctors, hospitals,
14:48anything like that.
14:49So they're there to provide that for them.
14:51And I work with National Deaf Children's Society as well.
14:54They're UK-based and they're incredible.
14:56They give, you know, anything that children need in schools
14:59and anything that they need looking after, basically.
15:02It's amazing to do charity work,
15:04something that's close to my heart
15:05and giving back is so important to me.
15:07It really is a special place in my heart.
15:09My grander, God rest his soul, he had a hearing aid.
15:14And I think he had a hearing aid in this year,
15:17deaf in this year for life.
15:19And my granny, they got divorced really late,
15:22like in their 70s.
15:23Who gets divorced in their 70s?
15:25But when they were having an argument,
15:26he would pretend to scratch his ear
15:28and he would just turn it off.
15:29So he couldn't hear what she was saying.
15:31That's brilliant.
15:32I used to do that with my parents.
15:33When they used to shout at me,
15:34they used to take it off and close my eyes.
15:36So I wouldn't see their lips.
15:37I'd literally be there like,
15:38I can't hear, I'll see you.
15:40That's a proper brat behaviour, that, isn't it?
15:42The best way to get away with it.
15:44I love it.
15:46Well, I'm glad you've kept it on for us all week.
15:48Thank you very much, Tasha.
15:53Happy days.
15:54Let's get back to this really, really close game.
15:56And Jack, your letters.
15:57A consonant, please.
15:58Thank you, Jack.
16:00P.
16:01And another.
16:02H.
16:03And one more.
16:05D.
16:06And a final consonant, please.
16:24A final S.
16:26Thanks, Rich.
16:27Bye-bye.
16:40MUSIC PLAYS
16:58Jack, how many?
17:00Seven. Nick? Seven.
17:02All right, Jack? Thumped. Nick?
17:05Methods. Methods and thumped.
17:08Yes. Right, quite generous with the sevens.
17:12How did you get on, Tasha?
17:13You got seven letters, mouthed, spouted and shouted.
17:18Loads in there. Yeah, lots. Absolute loads.
17:20But nothing above. Not that we can see.
17:22There's two points in it, then. Nick, let's do it again.
17:25Vowel, please. Thank you, Nick.
17:28I. And another.
17:30O. And another.
17:32E. And a consonant, please.
17:35W. And another.
17:36G. And another.
17:40D. And another.
17:43T.
17:45And another.
17:47B.
17:49And a consonant, please.
17:54The final T.
17:55Here we go.
17:56We'll see you next time.
17:56But we'll see you next time.
18:27All right, time, a little bit more challenging here, Nick?
18:30I'll stick with a six.
18:31And Jack?
18:32I'll stick with a six as well.
18:34You're both considering gambling, but then, Nick?
18:37Widget.
18:38Yeah, widget.
18:39Same word.
18:40It's the first one.
18:41Excellent.
18:41Any of the two of you want to tell me of something you were thinking of risking there?
18:45I was thinking bottied.
18:46Bottied.
18:47Bottied, as in B-O-T-T-I-E-D.
18:49Yeah.
18:50I'm not sure what the dictionary definition would be.
18:54OK, well, let's find out, was there anything above a six dictionary?
18:58Not bottied, but we did go to seven.
19:00Yeah?
19:01Yeah, we've got bigoted.
19:03Oh, bigoted.
19:04Well, not a nice word, but well done.
19:05Well done for seven.
19:07Didn't spot that at all.
19:09So both of you stuck on widget, which means we're still two points in it as we get our third numbers round.
19:14And you're choosing these, champ?
19:16I'll try a six more, please.
19:18Why not six little ones?
19:19See if this can put some daylight between the two of you.
19:23Let's get a challenge at least.
19:24These little ones are nine, two, four, nine, eight and one.
19:31And the target?
19:32Three hundred and twenty-two.
19:34Three hundred and twenty-two.
19:35Numbers up.
19:35Three hundred and twenty-four.
19:53All right, 3-2-2 is the target you're looking for.
20:11How do you get on, Jack?
20:12I think 3-2-2.
20:14And what about you, Nick?
20:153-2-2.
20:16All right, let's go, Jack.
20:17Nine times nine times four.
20:20Nine times nine, 81 times four is...
20:23Oh, equals, rather, 3-2-4.
20:25And then take away the two.
20:26Perfect, 3-2-2.
20:27Nice. And Nick?
20:28A different way.
20:29Eight times four.
20:3032.
20:31And then nine plus one.
20:33Ten.
20:34Times those together.
20:363-20.
20:37Add the two.
20:37And then add the two.
20:39Another 3-2-2.
20:40APPLAUSE
20:41Great work and great standard.
20:44Final countdown of the week.
20:46Really worse tensioned right to the end.
20:48Six rounds to go.
20:50After this tea-time teaser, which is imbue-in.
20:54Imbue-in.
20:55And it's I-n-n is in the bar.
20:57Tough one.
20:57It took me two years to get it.
20:59Tough one.
21:00It took me two years to get it.
21:02BELL RINGS
21:02Hello again.
21:18Final tea-time teaser of the week.
21:19Tough one.
21:20It took me two years to get it.
21:21That's because it was the biennium.
21:23The biennium.
21:24Just two points in it today.
21:25Our champion, Jack, with his nose in front.
21:28You're used to close games because you won on a crucial countdown conundrum yesterday.
21:32Nick would love to do that to you today.
21:34Let's find out.
21:35Off you go, Nick.
21:35Vowel, please.
21:37Thank you, Nick.
21:38A.
21:39And another.
21:41E.
21:42And another.

21:44And a consonant.
21:46S.
21:48And another.

21:52N.
21:53And another.
21:55L.
21:55And a vowel, please.
22:05And a final E.
22:07And let's play.
22:39All right, Nick.
22:40I'll risk a seven.
22:41And Jack.
22:42I'll do the same.
22:43All right.
22:43See if it's the same word.
22:44Nick.
22:45Unsteer.
22:46And Jack.
22:47Mine was saluter.
22:49So to unstear and saluter.
22:51Susie down.
22:52Saluter is in, but there is no unstear, I'm afraid.
22:55I'm sorry, Nick.
22:56Anything to add to that?
22:58Got eight.
23:00Well, you can not only add, but do better.
23:03Neutrals.
23:04Neutrals.
23:05Yeah.
23:05Not many of those about, is there?
23:07Neutrals.
23:08Nice one.
23:09All right.
23:10Let's do it again then, Jack.
23:11Off you go.
23:12A consonant, please.
23:12Thank you, Jack.
23:14N.
23:14And another.
23:16R.
23:17And another.
23:19Z.
23:19And a final consonant, please.
23:33A final F.
23:34And a final consonant, please.
23:37A final F.
23:38Kind of.
23:39I'll see you, Jack.
23:47Bye.
23:48Bye-bye.
23:52Bye bye.
23:53That's time up. Talk to me, Jack.
24:13An unlikely eight.
24:15Taking another risk. Nick?
24:18Five, not written down.
24:19Well, doesn't matter. What's the five?
24:21Phone.
24:22Spell it for me.
24:23F-O-R-N-E.
24:24And an unlikely eight from Jack Harvey.
24:27Frenzier.
24:29Frenzier.
24:30There's only one E in there.
24:33You can't have Frenzier, yeah.
24:35But even if there were six Es, you can't have Frenzier.
24:38No, you can't. I'm sorry.
24:39And Thorn's not in either.
24:41Wow, zero, zero. Wow.
24:43So a little bit of nerves from Nick.
24:44Jack, a little bit foolhardy.
24:46So what was there?
24:47Two complete opposites of each other.
24:50It's got a seven letter, which was Inferno.
24:52Inferno and the opposite?
24:54Frozen for six.
24:55Very good.
24:56Frozen and Inferno.
24:58And Jack and Nick froze in that round.
25:00No points for either of you.
25:02Four rounds to go and we're still crucial.
25:04Count nine, conundrum territory.
25:05Just nine points between you.
25:07As we get our last origins of words of the week.
25:10You've been a legal eagle the last couple of days.
25:12What are we talking about today?
25:14Well, I'm going to look at some names that crop up in various English expressions for you.
25:20And I'm going to start with Hobson's choice.
25:24A bit of a dated expression now, but if something is a Hobson's choice, it's no choice at all.
25:28There's a great word from chess, actually, Zugzwang, which is the compulsion to make a move.
25:35But whichever move you make is going to be disadvantageous to you.
25:38So Hobson's choice is pretty much the same thing, except you have to go one way.
25:43And it's said to derive from a man called Tobias Hobson, who lived in the 16th and 17th century.
25:49And he was a Cambridge carriage sort of operator, I suppose.
25:55And he refused to let any horse out except in its proper turn.
25:59So he had a stable where horses were rested in order.
26:02They were fed.
26:02And when they were rested, then they would go out.
26:05And if anybody wanted a different horse, tough luck.
26:07You had to have the one that he chose.
26:08So Hobson's choice.
26:10Going like Bilio, that's a bit of a strange one.
26:14Who was Billy?
26:15Again, quite old-fashioned, aren't they?
26:17But definitely, I think, like Bilio is around.
26:20Lots of different candidates for this one.
26:22The first is a rector of Wycombe bishops in Essex.
26:26Now, he was the first non-conformist minister of Malden in the 17th century.
26:30And he was apparently incredibly energetic and well-known for his drive, if you like.
26:36So Joseph Bilio could be the inspiration for this.
26:40But then there was Nino Bilio, who was one of Garibaldi's lieutenants.
26:45He apparently would dash keenly into battle, shouting,
26:48I am Bilio.
26:49Follow me, you rascals, and fight like Bilio.
26:53It sounds too good to be true in my book.
26:56And then there's Puffing Billy, which, of course, was the early steam locomotive.
27:00So Puffing like Bilio, again, if you're going that fast, fast for its day, the steam engine.
27:06Sadly, the prosaic truth is it might just be a shortened form of William.
27:10And William was once a euphemism for the devil.
27:12So you would be going like the devil.
27:14So that makes sense.
27:15And finally, mesmerise.
27:18I've just always liked this one.
27:20Named after Franz Anton Mesmer, I suppose quite famously.
27:23And he introduced his theory of animal magnetism in Paris in the late 18th century.
27:30Patients would hold hands around a tub of sulphuric acid.
27:33He would touch them and he was said to imbue them with animal magnetism.
27:38The jury's not really out on whether it worked.
27:40But still, to mesmerise weren't meant to sort of hold somebody captive within your sort of grasp, if you like.
27:47So that's where that comes from.
27:48Franz Anton Mesmer.
27:49Nice. Thank you, Susie.
27:51APPLAUSE
27:51From the names on our lips right now, Jack and Nick.
27:56So, so close with four rounds left.
27:58So, Nick, let's do it.
27:59It's time.
28:01Vowel, please.
28:02Thank you, Nick.
28:02And a vowel, please.
28:28And the last one.
28:30E.
28:31Good luck.
28:31We'll see you next time.
29:01Nick, how many?
29:04Er, seven.
29:05And Jack?
29:06Yep, also seven.
29:07OK, what's the word, Nick?
29:08Uncrate.
29:09And for you, Jack?
29:11Trounce.
29:12OK, trounce.
29:14An uncrate.
29:15Do you know what?
29:16I was almost positive this was not going to be in and I was going to have to disappoint you in it.
29:19But it is, believe it or not, to remove something from a crate.
29:22Talk to me, Tasha, what have we got?
29:23So, we've got an eight-letter word, courant.
29:26Not bad.
29:26Courant is a 16th century court dance.
29:29What type of dance is that now?
29:31Short advances and retreats.
29:33Is that exactly what it is?
29:34Wee!
29:35I think so.
29:37It's definitely a Friday.
29:39You only get stuff like that the Friday around here.
29:41Right.
29:42Jack, let's have nine more letters, please.
29:45Consonant, please, Rachel.
29:46Thank you, Jack.
29:47And last letters.
30:17I think so.
30:47And this will be a big six.
30:56Vanish.
30:57Vanish.
30:58Yes.
30:59Right.
30:59Excellent stuff.
31:00That was really tense.
31:01What else do we have?
31:01We've got vanish.
31:03Yes.
31:03Yeah.
31:04Vanish and vanish.
31:05Yeah.
31:06Right.
31:06OK, you just changed one letter, so there you go.
31:08Still, both count to sixes.
31:10Right.
31:11Well, listen, here we go then.
31:12Pressure is on.
31:13But, Nick, you're in control.
31:15You need to make up some ground here with the final numbers.
31:18So what are you going to do?
31:18I'll go one large, five small, please.
31:20One large.
31:21There's a teapot at stake here.
31:22Nick?
31:23I'm happy to forego it.
31:25It's fine.
31:25Oh, my gosh.
31:26You've come all this way.
31:28One large and five little.
31:30Well, you need something tricky because you need to beat Jack on this round.
31:32Let's see if you can do it.
31:34Final numbers of the week.
31:35Seven, nine, one, four, six, and the large on 100.
31:41And the target, 815.
31:44815.
31:45Numbers up.
31:45Mm.
31:46Mm.
31:49Mm.
32:00Mm.
32:02Mm.
32:02Mm.
32:04Mm.
32:12Mm.
32:12You needed a trickier target, I think, Nick.
32:19How'd you get on?
32:20815.
32:20Yes, and Jack?
32:21No, I've missed it up.
32:22He's missed! 815!
32:25Nobody was expecting that.
32:27If this pays off for you, I'm going to call you Harry Houdini.
32:30Nick, off you go.
32:31I'm wondering if I've got it wrong now.
32:337 plus 1.
32:35It's 8.
32:36Times by 100.
32:38800.
32:39And then 9 and 6.
32:40Oh, no!
32:41Oh, no!
32:41And a crucial conundrum coming up.
32:46My goodness, I can't believe I'm saying this,
32:49but Jack and Nick, put your fingers on the buzzers.
32:52Because we will be finishing this week
32:54with a crucial countdown conundrum.
33:03Jack, to save yourself.
33:05Affiliate.
33:05Let's have a look and see if it is...
33:07Lucky boy.
33:08The lucky, lucky boy.
33:13But, hey, Jack, that's two wins on two crucial countdown conundrums,
33:16and we love that, so you're a favourite with us already.
33:19Can't wait for Monday already.
33:21Well done to you.
33:22Oh, Nick, well, at least you brought drama.
33:25A little bit, yeah.
33:26Everywhere I'll go, yeah.
33:28We'll give you the goodie bag,
33:30and inside that we put a deflated balloon for you.
33:33Yeah, if you could.
33:33Just to take away.
33:34I'll run away.
33:35You've been good crack today, Nick.
33:37Thank you so much.
33:38And we won't see you on Monday, Natasha.
33:40No, I'm going to miss you all.
