00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Monday afternoon.
00:34I hope your weekend was good, but regardless, we get to spend every afternoon this week together, which is a reason to celebrate.
00:41How are you doing, Rachel Riley? Very well. How are you?
00:43Yep. All roads lead to Las Vegas on Sunday. It's Super Bowl Sunday. It's Super Bowl week.
00:48It is like no other sporting event. As an American sports fan, I know that people glaze over when you mention baseball or the NFL or whatever.
00:56But this is like no other event because people have parties and it's about food. It's about music. It's about adverts.
01:05And then it's about the sport for a lot of people. It's Usher doing the halftime show.
01:10Is he still going?
01:11Well, I'm so glad you said that because you're old before you know it. Yeah, 20 years ago was his big hit.
01:17Oh, yeah. I remember. Like, yeah. Burn. What? Love is a prison? Yeah. Life is a prison. Life is a prison.
01:24Both of them are prisons. So, yeah.
01:26My boo. I think that's the key, isn't it? It's like who's going to come out.
01:31Like, Rihanna last year, didn't have it. Well, she actually had. She was pregnant, wasn't she? That was the surprise.
01:37But she didn't have any guests. I don't think Usher's going to be.
01:39No, he's not going to be pregnant. But maybe a Nicki Minaj. Maybe an Alicia Keys. Although she could do it on her own.
01:46I think she'd be brilliant. I mean, my era. I'm signing up for Usher.
01:49And you've actually made me interested in the Super Bowl for the first time.
01:52Anyway, you can always come to my Super Bowl party. You're always welcome, Ritz. Thank you so much.
01:56Let's head to Dictionary Corner. What a good build-up it's going to be.
01:59What a great front office that we have here.
02:02Our Susie Dent, joined by a very familiar face when it comes to Countdown's offensive line.
02:07The brilliant Joe Brand.
02:10How are you?
02:12Like a bit of Super Bowl weekend? No, I do not.
02:14No, OK, thank you. So don't talk about it any more.
02:16Lovely, thank you. It's great to have your wonderful spirit here with us today.
02:22Right, our champion is Jack Harvey.
02:24If you want drama, you've got it, Joe, because he's had two crucial conundrums so far to make it through.
02:32And two wins in the bag. Goodness me.
02:35Yeah, I've made hard work of it, haven't I?
02:37Yeah.
02:37Just about enough to win them.
02:39But I get it. You're getting through on just, like, grit and determination,
02:42because you're not good at competitions, because your only other one was when you were four.
02:46And you came 15th out of 16.
02:50What was the actual thing you were doing?
02:51It was a talent show contest, Joe. I was four years old.
02:54I think we went to Butlins, and my talent was doubling numbers.
02:59But you'll have to do better at numbers than that today.
03:02You're up against Ian Akers in, listen, Buckinghamshire, originally from Middlesex.
03:07How are you, sir?
03:08Yeah, very good, thank you.
03:09Now, listen, you're retired now.
03:11You worked in banks for a long time.
03:13But you also worked as a carer, and this is where your Countdown story begins.
03:19It's a beautiful one. Tell me about it, mate.
03:20Yeah, I got back into Countdown when I started doing some care work.
03:23So we would go into people's homes, and I got paired up with a lovely old chap who was 96 at the time.
03:31He's 98 now.
03:32And my slot was two till four.
03:35So at ten past two, every day, we'd sit down, Channel 4, Countdown, off we go.
03:40And we would play it together, and he was brilliant.
03:43He'd get the numbers and he'd get some good words.
03:45I love that. What a great story that is.
03:47Ian, thank you very much.
03:48Good luck to you and good luck to Jack.
03:50APPLAUSE
03:51All right, Jack, get us started for this week with your letters.
03:56Hi, Rachel.
03:56Hi, Jack.
03:57Can I start with the consonant, please?

05:08Six.
05:08And a six, the six is?
05:10Demons.
05:11Oh, and Jack?
05:12Pigeons.
05:14Demons and pigeons.
05:15There's a book I don't want to read.
05:17That sounds terrible.
05:18What have we got, Joe?
05:19Do you own any pigs?
05:21I used to.
05:22I don't own any now.
05:24OK, well, when pigs are ill quite a lot of the time,
05:28they're very, very vulnerable to a lot of different conditions
05:33of the flu variety.
05:34Yeah.
05:35And so you have to give them pig meds.
05:37Pig meds, it helps them.
05:39It does help them call in.
05:40For all of that, it wasn't even a nine.
05:42Do you know what I mean?
05:43I was hoping for a nine there, at least.
05:46I don't get nines, you know that.
05:48What have we got there, Susie?
05:49A couple of eights for you, deposing.
05:52And you can spell smidgen, as in a tiny bit, with an O.
05:56So S-M-I-D-G-E-O-N, fate.
05:58Smidgen pigeons.
06:00Jack, you've got the seven points.
06:01That's a really good start.
06:02But, Ian, off we go again.
06:03Your first time choosing.
06:05Hello, Rachel.
06:05Hi, Ian.
06:06Can I start with a consonant, please?
06:07You can indeed.
06:07Start with D.
06:09And another one.
06:09And a final vowel, please.
06:32And a final vowel, please.
06:34And 30 seconds.
06:36MUSIC PLAYS

07:10And Jack?
07:11Yeah, also a six.
07:12All right, what have you got, Ian?
07:13Teamed.
07:14Yep.
07:15And Jack?
07:15Same with him.
07:16Yeah, that's right.
07:17Right, to dictionary corner, pray tell, Joe Brown.
07:20I've got a nine, Colin.
07:22The bite time.
07:23It's, what do you mean, my second go?
07:26It's spelt wrong, but I don't care.
07:28Yeah.
07:28I don't know if you have a lot of friends that are quite...
07:31No.
07:32No.
07:33Oh, sorry, there's more to that sentence.
07:34Yes.
07:35So, if you haven't got...
07:36Well, of the ones that you've got, how many you've got?
07:38About one, maybe?
07:40Maybe.
07:41Couple.
07:41If you count Susie, you've got two.
07:44Well, I...
07:44You know, when you have friends that just go, like, drone on and on all the time.
07:49Is that right?
07:50No.
07:50And you just want to get rid of them, don't you?
07:53And when they start doing it, and I call that a mate dirge.
07:56Yes.
07:58Love it.
08:00OK, so what have we got?
08:01Anything that's in the dictionary?
08:02I don't care about what's in the dictionary when Joe's here, but what have you got?
08:05No, it's only seven, really.
08:07Matured.
08:08Matured.
08:08Yes.
08:09All right.
08:1013 plays six, Ian.
08:11You're on the board.
08:12First numbers of the day, Jack.
08:14Had a bit of a wobble in the numbers on Friday.
08:17Let's see how you do, too.
08:18Just wanted to remind you of that, Thomas, before we do it again, Jack.
08:22And can I have one large and five small, please?
08:24You can, indeed.
08:25One from the top.
08:26Five little.
08:27Calming up.
08:28And for the first numbers this week, they are 6, 2, 2, 4, 9, and 25.
08:37And the target, 763.

09:15I've just realised I made a mistake.
09:17Oh, just realised it. Ian?
09:19Yeah, I was nowhere near.
09:20Nowhere near? Oh, look, it's a free board for you.
09:23Get that marker out.
09:24Yep, well, product of two primes.
09:27If you say four times 25 is 100,
09:30add nine for 109,
09:33and then two divided by two is one,
09:35add six for seven, and times them together.
09:387, 6, 3. Yes.
09:42I'm a product of two primes, Rachel Riley and Susie Dent.
09:46Right, first tea time teaser of the week is base flag.
09:49Base flag.
09:51Run away from your luggage, you dirty dogs.
09:53Run away from your luggage, you dirty dogs.

10:19Right, let's get more letters in.
10:21It's your round, Ian.

11:25All right, time's up. Ian? Six. Well done. And Jack? I'll try a seven. OK, Ian, what's a six? Glans. And what are you trying? Gold sun. Gold sun. No. No, I didn't think so. Not fair. I'm sorry. Right, sevens that were in there? Yeah, I was wondering about sun gold and turning it around, but it's two words, so we can't go there either. But unloads is a seven. Right, let's get more letters, Jack. Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Jack. L. And another.
11:55S. And another. N. A vowel. E. And another. A. And another. E. A consonant. S. A consonant. K. And a final consonant, please. A final N. Half a minute.

12:49Jack? I'll try, mate. Ian? Seven.
12:53Well, he's only trying. He's having it riskier.
12:56Remember, gold's some, so you never know what's going to happen.
13:00Seven is? Measles. Jack? Lameness?
13:03Lameness? Oh, nice. Very nice. Yes.
13:06Yay! Well done.
13:07APPLAUSE
13:09Joe? Well, Colin, you won't be surprised to learn
13:12that I've always had, like, quite chubby legs.
13:15And I remember my GP saying to me once,
13:19you've got far too high a knee mass.
13:23Yeah, yes.
13:26And so I've worked on that. It's not work, but who cares?
13:29Was there a maximum in there?
13:31Yes, I was saying there were lots of less words in there, not ness,
13:34but there's mainless, nameless.
13:36But just going off that, you've got salesman as well,
13:39so all of those eights. All eights, but no nines.
13:41Good letters, though. Good letters.
13:43Those were very good as well, by the way, Ian.
13:45Right, second numbers, you were choosing them.
13:47One large and the rest small, please, Rachel.
13:49Thank you, Ian. One from the top and five little.
13:52And some numbers now.
13:54And they are seven, nine, seven, eight, two and 25.
14:01And the target, 116.
14:03Oh, 116, numbers up.
14:05We'll see you next time.
14:06Time is up.
14:07And we'll see you next time.
14:08We'll see you next time.
14:10Once again.
14:11A low target, 1-1-6, Ian?
14:38Yeah, 1-1-6.
14:39Good man, and Jack?
14:40Yeah, 1-1-6.
14:41Yeah, 10 points each.
14:42Not much pressure on this.
14:44Off you go in.
14:45I did 8 times 25 is 200.
14:47Yep.
14:47Divided by 2 is 100, and then add the 7 and the 9.
14:51Perfect.
14:52How about you, Jack?
14:53Very similar.
14:54I just did 8 divided by 2 at the start, and then times by 25, add 9, 7.
14:58Same thing.
14:58If you just pass it over, it'll be lovely.
15:02Close enough.
15:03Lovely.
15:05Let's catch up with Joe for the first time this week.
15:08What's been going on in your wonderful mind?
15:09Not much, Colin.
15:12To be honest.
15:14It's been a sleep bit.
15:15Well, basically what I'm going to speak about this week is sort of random thoughts of a wandering woman's mind.
15:24Yeah.
15:24But I thought today I'd start by talking about teenagers and words.
15:29First of all, you're not allowed to call them teenagers anymore.
15:32You have to call them young people.
15:34Really?
15:34Yeah, absolutely.
15:36But when my young people were teenagers, they were quite sneery and annoying.
15:41Like, that's their job, isn't it, really?
15:43And so they had lots of new words for things that I didn't know.
15:47And this is my favourite one that I heard at the time is Dench.
15:52Do you know what that means?
15:53Dench has been around quite a long while now.
15:55Yeah, well, they've been around longer than teenagers as well.
15:58So, but, um, Judy, is it anything to do with her?
16:02No, it's not anything.
16:03Judy Dench!
16:05I think it means bulked out, doesn't it?
16:08It means...
16:08Dench.
16:09Dench.
16:10Jim, Jim Bunny type.
16:12Yeah.
16:12Yeah, absolutely.
16:13Let me ask you a question on the teenagers' front.
16:15Yeah.
16:15When do you start taking someone seriously?
16:1970.
16:20LAUGHTER
16:21Well, I would say, actually, because, like, 24-year-olds are barely out of their teenage years.
16:29Yeah.
16:29Not in reality, but just because these days it's all shifted forward.
16:35And in 10 years' time, 35-year-olds are going to be like teenagers.
16:39Yeah.
16:39It's quite terrifying, really.
16:40Yeah, it is.
16:41It's all sort of moving down, isn't it?
16:43That's why people should tell teenagers off a lot more, in my opinion.
16:47Yes.
16:47There you go.
16:48Thank you, Joe.
16:50APPLAUSE
16:50OK, nine points, and it is Jack going to make it a hat-trick of crucial countdown conundrums today.
17:00Ian hopes so.
17:01Jack, you're choosing these letters.
17:03A consonant, please.
17:04Thank you, Jack.

17:40as for the data
17:41I was talking to you guys' time.
17:42Is there a couple of SQL tense?
17:43Or, I forgot how to use this.
17:45Yeah, there you have to read that, it is audo, I find the answer.
17:48We can do it.
17:49Please say it for thechos.
17:51As soon as we need to trouble now on Earth.

18:17Feasting and stealing using the ING.
18:20Really nice letters here, Joe and Susie.
18:22Yes, they were.
18:23Yes, well, I've got a seven.
18:25Yes.
18:25Do you suffer from constipation?
18:28Sometimes, I think we all do.
18:29Well, if it's really bad, just puff along to a fig sale.
18:32Yes.
18:33And you'll be fine.
18:34Payful price sometimes in my stomach.
18:37Have we got anything above an eight?
18:39Surely there's a maximum.
18:40No, but I have to give you one of my favourite eights.
18:43And it's an Americanism, and people don't always like Americanisms,
18:47but finagles is such a good word.

20:00We never know with you. Blunter?
20:01Yeah, it's got to be there. Blunter?
20:03Blunter is Ian, and there's no Tareen, though.
20:07That's double R, I'm afraid. I'm sorry about that.
20:11Let's get our third numbers round of the day, Jack.

21:11I've got it. Well, have I got it?
21:13Don't jump the gun, Joe. Don't jump the gun first.
21:16Let's deal with this.
21:17We'll give her 7-7-8, but let's do the 7-7-7s first.
21:20Go ahead, Jack.
21:2175 add 3.
21:2478. Times 10.
21:257-80.

22:01You're staying all week.
22:02We wouldn't have it any other way.
22:03Shame on Jack.
22:04Shame on Ian, as we get a second break of the day,
22:07which is Yam Dread.
22:08Yam Dread is the Tea Time teaser.
22:11A distracting thought about sleepy Jean.
22:14A distracting thought about sleepy Jean.
22:16Hello again.
22:33A distracting thought about sleepy Jean.
22:36It was a musical reference.
22:38Cheer up, sleepy Jean.
22:40Oh, what can it mean?
22:41Daydream.
22:42Daydream.
22:43No time for monkeying around.
22:45A good game today.

23:50And Jack.
23:51Yep, also a six.
23:52Six.
23:52What have you got, Ian?
23:53Gashed.
23:54Gashed.
23:55Dosage.
23:56Dosage and gashed.
23:57Absolutely fine.
23:59Save sixes there, Joe and Susie.
24:01No, I had exactly the same as our contestants.
24:04All right.
24:04Let's get back to it.
24:05Get more letters from you, Jack.
24:07A consonant, please, Rachel.

24:41Difficult to navigate, how many, Jack?
25:09A very ambitious eight.
25:11Ian?
25:12I've got half, I've got four.
25:13Do you know what?
25:14I would have went for the four, definitely.
25:16Go ahead, what have you got?
25:18Wept.
25:18I think it might score.
25:20Let's find out.
25:20I think it will.
25:22City View?
25:23I didn't know if it could be.
25:23Oh, probably not.
25:24I like it.
25:25I like the style here.
25:27It's not in.
25:28No, never mind.
25:29But, you know, it's a nice idea, isn't it?
25:31City View.
25:31What do you get, Joe?
25:33Absolutely nothing, Colin.
25:35I got to wit for three, but...
25:39Yeah, it annoyed me we didn't have an R up there.
25:42How'd you get on?
25:43A couple of fives only.
25:45And Piety is there.
25:47And Twice, as in Twice Nightly Whitely.
25:49Hey!
25:50Love it, love it.
25:5159.47.
25:53Let's stay with you then, Suze, for Origins of Words.
25:55Well, this one is dedicated to Peter, Ian's friend.
25:59I was stressing to him about it.
26:0098.
26:01Still watch his countdown and still brilliant at it.
26:03And I hope he's in fine fettle.
26:05Mm.
26:06Because fettle is a brilliant word.
26:08I think associated with Yorkshire, mostly.
26:11But to fettle means to put in order.
26:14And if you're in fine fettle, obviously,
26:15you're in good order and good condition.
26:17Actually goes back to an old English word, fettle, meaning a belt.
26:20So it's like girding yourself up, really, and preparing yourself for anything.
26:25And crisis, as well.
26:26You wouldn't necessarily think that crisis has a medical origin.
26:30But you have to go back to Hippocrates,
26:32who famously gave us the Hippocratic Oath that all medics subscribe to,
26:36which is, you know, all about helping people and altruism.
26:40And Hippocrates thought that all diseases had their kind of phases
26:44when the humours of the body ebbed and flowed like the tide of the sea.
26:50So, famously, medicine was dictated for a long time by the idea of humours.
26:55These were the four humours of the body that dictated your temperament.
26:59There was blood that made you sanguine, from the Latin for blood.
27:02Phlegm made you phlegmatic.
27:04Black bile made you melancholy.
27:06That's Greek for black bile.
27:07And yellow bile made you peevish and irritable.
27:11And he thought that these tidal days, these critical days, as he called them,
27:16were basically determined the outcome of your disease.
27:20And the tide itself was called a crisis,
27:22and it determined whether or not the disease took a good or a bad turn.
27:26And so this decisive turning point in a disease was defined by that word crisis,
27:31a critical point, and it goes back to a Greek word meaning to decide.
27:35Great. Thank you, Susie.
27:39OK, cut to decide who's going to win this today.
27:41Jack, you've got a 12-point lead,
27:44but if your previous form's ending to go by,
27:46we're heading towards a crucial kind-time conundrum.
27:49Let's see. Ian, you hope so.
27:51Indeed. Consonant, please, Rachel.
27:54Thank you, Ian.
27:55W.
27:55And another one.
27:57F.
27:58And another.
27:59Consonant, please.
28:10H.
28:11And a vowel.
28:14A.
28:16And a final consonant.
28:18A final N.
28:20Kind down.
28:21And a vowel.
28:36In five, Jack.
28:54Yep, also five.
28:55Same again.
28:56In.
28:57Frown.
28:58Yes, as you will do.
28:59Jack, Worf, Worf and Frown.
29:02And more difficult letters this Monday on Countdown.
29:05Susie and Joel?
29:06I've got a seven.
29:08Yeah.
29:09And that is fun hour.
29:10Fun hour, yeah.
29:11And it's always fun hour in my house.
29:13Yay.
29:14When I'm not there, they have a nice time.
29:17Two to three.
29:17Two to three all this week.
29:19Absolutely.
29:21Like it.
29:22Anything, can we score a six at home, Susie?
29:25Honestly, just five.
29:27There is, in chemistry, a volatile liquid called a furan, F-U-R-A-N.
29:31That was as good as it got five.
29:33For us, anyway.
29:34Jeez.
29:35All right, 12 points still the difference.
29:37Jack, last letters.
29:38A consonant, please, Rachel.
29:39Thank you, Jack.
29:40D.
29:41And another.
29:43T.
29:44And another.
29:45P.
29:47A vowel.
29:49E.
29:50A vowel.
29:51O.
29:52Another vowel.
29:53E.
29:55A consonant.
29:56N.
29:58A consonant.
29:59S.
29:59And a final vowel, please.
30:04A final O.
30:06Last letters.
30:07Meters.
30:20I.
30:21I.
30:22I.
30:23I.
30:24I.
30:25I.
30:26I.
30:26I.
30:26I.
30:29I.
30:31I.
30:32I.
30:33Time's up, Jack.
30:39Seven.
30:40Seven for you, very strong.
30:42In?
30:42Nice, six.
30:43Ooh, this could be it.
30:44Off you go, in.
30:46Despot.
30:47Despot, and for you, Jack?
30:48Stooped.
30:50Stooped.
30:50Very good.
30:51Yep, stooped is excellent.
30:53How'd you get on, Joe?
30:54I got an eight there, and do you ever go wild swimming?
31:00Jack, no.
31:01I know a few people do, though.
31:02Very good, very good for health.
31:05It's open, going for swimming, you know, as long as the water's clean.
31:09Not a good idea to go in a pond, really, because they can be a bit horrible.
31:15And if you leave your feet in there too long, you get pond toes.
31:18Pond toes.
31:19Yes, not nice.
31:21Any eights or nines, Suze?
31:22We have pentodes.
31:24OK, toads that write?
31:26No, they are pentodes, O-D-E-S, and they are, in electronics,
31:31thermionic valves that have five electrodes.
31:34Nice.
31:35Ian, it's do or die.
31:36You've got to get ten points here and beat Jack in these numbers,
31:40so choose carefully.
31:42Let's go too large.
31:43Too large.
31:44That's your gamble.
31:45OK.
31:46Too large.
31:47One of the more easy choices.
31:49You better hope it's a good one.
31:50Four little final numbers.
31:53Two, eight, six, nine, 150.
31:58And the target?
32:00576.
32:01Five, seven, six.
32:02Remember Friday, Jack.
32:04Numbers up.
32:04Two, eight, six.
32:21Go on.
32:24OK, 5, 7, 6, Ian.
32:39Er, no, sorry, brain freeze.
32:40Don't always have the brain freeze. Jack?
32:43Er, 5, 7, 5.
32:44Well, that'll do you for seven points.
32:46Er, 100 times 6 is 600.
32:48Yes.
32:49Take away 50 is 550.
32:51550.
32:52And then 2 times 8 is 16, add 9 is 25.
32:56Yeah, one away.
32:57One away, seven points secures your third victory.
33:00Take us to 5, 7, 6.
33:02Yeah, quite a few ways.
33:04One of them, you could have said 6 plus 2 is 8,
33:06times 9 is 72, times 8 is 576.
33:09Yeah, well done.
33:13All right, Jack, what are we going to do with ourselves today?
33:17There's no sweat, there's no pressure.
33:19You've already won the show.
33:20Let's have fun with it then.
33:21Jack, Ian, fingers on buzzers.
33:23Let's reveal Monday afternoon's Countdown Conundrum.
33:26Oh, come on, Jack.
33:31Diverting.
33:31Yes, indeed.
33:32Let's reveal it.
33:33Well done to you, sir.
33:37Wow.
33:38Comfortable for once.
33:40Jack, well done to you.
33:41We'll see you tomorrow.
33:42Ian, you more than contributed.
33:44Have you enjoyed your day?
33:45Yeah, it's been a great day.
33:46Thank you very much.
33:46It's a bit of crack, isn't it?
33:47Well played, Jack.
33:48Thank you, mate.
33:48Always good to come on with Joes.
33:50Oh, great, definitely.
33:52She makes it really enjoyable.
33:52You don't have to say that, Ian.
33:54I'll understand if you go home and go, oh, God, that joke burns on.
33:58I love it all.
33:59No one ever says that, Jo.
34:01We'll see you tomorrow.
34:02Thank you, Colin.
34:03Thank you very much, Susie.
34:03See you then.
34:04And hey, Super Bowl, here's a question for you.
34:07Because Jo loves it, I'll have a few stats throughout the week.
34:1130-second advert in the Super Bowl this Sunday.
34:13How much do you think it costs?
34:15A squillion pounds.
34:16That's almost right.
34:18$7 million for 30 seconds.
34:22Well, let's get to our adverts and we'll see you tomorrow.
34:25Countdown, same time, same place.
34:26Rachel, Susie and I will be here.
34:29You can count on us.
34:29You can contact the programme by email at countdown at channel4.com.
