00:30Hello everybody, love is in the air everywhere I look around and I don't know if I feel foolish, well I always feel foolish when I'm in the company of Rachel and Susie. Riley, happy Valentine's Day? Happy Valentine's Day, I've dressed appropriately. It's a great outfit, love it, love it. And it's a big day for you, I'm sure Pasha woke you up with something special this morning. And waking up this morning after celebrating his 50th birthday, bear with me, is Robbie Williams, he's 50, my goodness.
00:59It's one of those moments, where did the time go? But the connection is of course, you're, you're Valentine, Pasha, because did Robbie Williams not sing at your wedding?
01:10Well he, he unwittingly was our wedding singer, because we got married in Las Vegas and we only went to Las Vegas because we were going to see Robbie in concert. So we got married, then had dinner and then went to a Robbie concert and then told him, you know, he was our wedding singer. So we have a picture of him holding the bouquet and he said that we were very cheap.
01:27Have you watched the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix?
01:30Next on my list.
01:31It's good, quite enjoyed it, quite enjoyed it. Well it's in the dictionary corner, our angel, of course, of Countdown, Susie Denne.
01:37And no regrets about inviting the multi-award winning, world-renowned lyricist and author, Tim Rice back.
01:46We have a new champion, Tim, of course, yesterday. Michael Calder is back with us.
01:51He works for the Trussell Trust, which we found out about yesterday. But this, you know, tell me just before we came on air, you kind of had a famous dog growing up.
02:01Yes.
02:01Tell, tell me about that.
02:03Well, we had a dog when I was a child who had been used in the filming of 102 Dalmatians.
02:10So that was my claim to fame in childhood. That had nothing else to go with.
02:15A lot of people will be thinking, oh, he's made a mistake there, hasn't he? It's 101 Dalmatians. No, this was the sequel.
02:20102 Dalmatians. I love that. I love how we start with what you do for a living and we get on to that as we get to know you.
02:28You're up against David Moonday from Tiverton and joins us today. How are you, sir?
02:34I'm very well, thank you.
02:35Good. Now we're going to talk about BS before Susie because your Countdown tale connects to Susie.
02:42So when you were on Countdown the first time was before Susie. When was it? 19...
02:4792, I think.
02:48Wow, so that would have been just before Susie joined. Is that right, Mrs Dent?
02:52Yeah, I joined in May, but I remember I was one of many, so there were lots of us rotating in the corner.
02:57Right, yeah. OK. OK, so there you go. And the only reason you're here is because of Susie. So tell me about that.
03:05Well, I met Susie at a sort of teacher's conference. She was the guest speaker in Somerset, in the school in Somerset.
03:14And she... I said hello because I'd been on Countdown. I said, oh, I've been on Countdown. And then I said, I pity I can't go on again. She said, yes, you can. It's a ten-year-old. You can come on after ten years.
03:26Yeah.
03:26So, of course, I wasted... I could have been on three times, but...
03:29LAUGHTER
03:30I love that. I love what's brought you back into the bosom of Countdown. And it's so good to have you. Good luck to you today. Dave and Michael.
03:39APPLAUSE
03:40OK, nine that is. Michael, the starters. Good afternoon, Rachel. Afternoon, Michael. May I have a consonant, please?

04:52All right. Generous start, Michael. How many?
04:56Six. And David? Seven.
04:58And a seven. What's a six, Michael?
05:00Way too. Yeah, by your standard.
05:02You've missed a few sevens, David.
05:04Regards. And Regards.
05:06That gets you seven points. Well done to you. Very nice indeed.
05:09Tim, good start for you? Yes, frankly.
05:12Incredible start. I actually got draws.
05:15D-R-A-W-E-R-S. Yes.
05:18And Earwigs and... What else? And Regards, yes.
05:23And Regards, yep. So we had quite a good start, I think.
05:28Sort of downhill from now on.
05:30We'll throw rewards in there, which would have been another seven.
05:33So many, so many.
05:35So, Michael, a little drop-stitch to start, a little bit early pressure.
05:38And David, you're choosing these letters.
05:40I'll have a... Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:42Afternoon, David. I'll have a consonant, please.
05:45Thank you. Start with M.

06:17Yeah.
06:18Well, there's **** and here we go.

07:00That sound.
07:01Beautiful.
07:02Ambient it is.
07:03Tim, is your good start continued?
07:05Well, we got ambient between us.
07:08I'm not saying how much of that was down to Susie and how much down to me.
07:11Doesn't matter.
07:12Exactly.
07:12No I on team, Tim.
07:16An inmate is there for six, but, yeah, it was tricky.
07:19And that's a lot.
07:20That is a lot.
07:21Well, what a start from David.
07:23Long way to go.
07:2513 rounds.

14:25Yeah, well, if you take the 4, the 6 and the 8,
14:28and if you times them together...
14:30HE SIGHS
14:31..you can sit down and have a rest.
14:34APPLAUSE
14:34Oh, well, midweek, midweek.
14:3921.38, so well done, Michael.
14:41You closed the gap a little bit there
14:43as we take a little break and catch up with Tim Rice.
14:45It's funny, cos there was a mention yesterday of the kinks,
14:49and I'm just wondering, the other lyricists,
14:51the other songwriters, Tim, that you love,
14:54you know, maybe a lyric that you wish you had written.
14:57Well, there are plenty of lyrics and songs
14:59I wish I'd written the words for,
15:01and a lot of them come from early-ish days of rock and roll,
15:06which was my initial interest in music.
15:09I got to know an awful lot about theatre songs
15:12in slightly later years,
15:15but some of Jerry Lieber's lyrics,
15:18he wrote a lot of hits for Elvis,
15:20with Mike Stoller, who wrote the music,
15:22and the wonderful lines that would grace a Broadway show
15:25like Jailhouse Rock.
15:27Number 47 said to number three,
15:29you're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
15:32I sure would be delighted with your company.
15:34Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me.
15:37I mean, these are just lovely lines,
15:38which tell stories,
15:39rather like most lyrics in shows are meant to tell stories.
15:43Yeah.
15:44It's just great to get some insight into it, Tim,
15:46so thank you very much.
15:50OK, it's getting closer by the round.
15:53Let's get back to it.
15:54Michael, your letters.
15:56May I have a consonant, please?
15:57Thank you, Michael.

17:01Six. David?
17:03Six. Well done. Michael?
17:05Tempos? David?
17:07Ovates. Over the dictionary corner.
17:09Yes. So, ovate is there as an adjective, meaning egg-shaped,
17:16but it is there as a noun, a member of an order of Welsh bards,
17:19this is a completely different word, by the way, recognised it in Eidsteadford.
17:23Tricky rhyme, which I like to leave behind and move on.
17:26So, let's do that. David?
17:27May I have a vowel, please, Rachel?
17:29Thank you, David. O.
17:31And another.

18:40Nudist.
18:41Nudist. And Michael?
18:43Audits.
18:44A nudist.
18:46Very good indeed.
18:47That is the bare facts as we see them. Anything else, Tim?
18:50Well, Susie, on top form, has come up with a wonderful word.
18:53Yes, there is an eight there.
18:55A slightly obscure adustion, A-D-U-S-T-I-O-N,
19:00from the old medical belief that our bodies are determined
19:04by bodily fluids known as the humours,
19:07and if they are adust, they are gloomy and melancholic.
19:11Nice.
19:12All right, 50 plays 33.
19:14It's still close, but you're going to have to find some points, Michael.
19:17That is the naked truth.
19:18Let's get numbers.
19:19One large, five small, please.
19:21One large, five little, sticking with what you know.
19:24And this time around, the small numbers are ten, three, five, eight,
19:31and one, and the large one, 100.
19:33And the target you need to reach, 904.
19:36904, numbers up.

20:20Times 100.
20:21900.
20:225-3 is 2.
20:24Yeah.
20:24And then 8 over 2 is 4.
20:27And you're within touching distance.
20:29Well done.
20:33It was niggly, you know, it was a niggly one.
20:36Fairly straightforward, but I understand your frustration there, David.
20:39Still a seven-point lead, which you would have taken
20:42before the start of the programme,
20:43as we get our second Tea Time teaser,
20:45which is huge nerd, huge nerd.
20:48He craved to absorb more and more information.
20:51He craved to absorb more and more information.
20:55MUSIC
20:56Hello again.
21:12He craved to absorb more and more information.
21:14Huge nerd becomes hungered.
21:17Hungered.
21:17Right.
21:18David Monday, off you go.
21:19May I have a vowel, please, Rachel?
21:21You may.
21:22Thank you, David.

21:54Kind time.
21:55.
22:14.
22:14.
22:18.
22:19.
22:20.
22:23Time is up. David? Seven. Seven for you. And Michael? Seven.
22:29And what have we got there? Anites. And Michael? Infants.
22:33Infants. No kidding. That'll get you seven points.
22:37What about yourselves, Tim and Suze? What have you got?
22:39Just to let you know about an anate, that is a payment in ecclesiastical law.
22:46Yeah, let's just say it's a payment. It's got quite a complicated definition.
22:48It represents the amount of the first year's income, etc. But it's in, so that's very good indeed.
22:54And we did come up with an eight. Infantis.
22:59Yes. Sons of the ruling monarchs of Spain or Portugal.
23:03Excellent work. OK. 50 plays 57. Still seven points in it as we get back to the letters.
23:09And Michael? May I have a consonant, please? Thank you, Michael.
23:12L. And another? X. And another?
23:18G. And a vowel? E. And another? U. And another? E.
23:35And a consonant? D. And a final vowel, please.
23:44And a final O. Start the clock.
23:48E. And a consonant?
23:57That'll do us how many, Michael?
24:20Seven.
24:21Seven for you, David.
24:22Oh, and he's six, I'm afraid.
24:24Well, I wouldn't worry about it.
24:25This would mean 57 points all.
24:28David, what's your six?
24:29Seg'd.
24:30And Michael?
24:31Deluges.
24:33Deluges.
24:34It's a difficult one to say, actually.
24:36Delu...
24:36Look, it's contagious.
24:40Deluges.
24:40And it's in the dictionary.
24:43Segway also, but, yeah, that's an excellent one.
24:46Well done.
24:46Tim, how'd you get on?
24:47Delouse.
24:49Oh, nice.
24:50Delouse.
24:52I don't know why I thought of that.
24:53Yeah.
24:55Very nice indeed.
24:56Well, we will love the last four rounds.
24:58When it's this close, the tension just grows.
25:01And it's even worse when we pause for origins of words.
25:03So you two can stew for a little while.
25:06Susie, what are we talking about today on Valentine's Day?
25:09Yes.
25:10Well, it's all about knowledge, which I think is quite a nice one, because you can be in
25:15love with people, but you can also be in love with learning, et cetera.
25:19And this is an email from Lynn and Andrew Iliff.
25:22And they have just returned from a holiday in India, where they learned about the goddess
25:27Saswati.
25:28And they're wondering if this is the derivation for the word swat, or is it connected to swatting
25:33flies?
25:34So they're spelling swat, S-W-O-T, as in someone who loves learning and, you know, maybe learns
25:40a little bit or tries a little bit too hard.
25:43And then Lynn and Andrew said, do we have any other words that derive from gods or goddesses?
25:47Well, where do I begin with that one?
25:49But just to start with the first one, swat, as in she was such a swat, which would be
25:54me at school, is actually a variation of sweat.
25:58And it started life as army slang.
26:01And then it moved on to not just someone who sweated or swat hard at their job, but at their
26:08college work and their studies as well.
26:10Actually referred, especially to maths, at the beginning.
26:13And that led to its use to describe somebody who studies excessively.
26:17The swat, that's imitative of a sharp blow, is when we swat a fly, definitely not related
26:23at all.
26:24That is probably onomatopoeic, so it just sounds like a swipe, really.
26:29Neither of them are related to Saswati, the goddess.
26:32And it might sound a bit far-fetched, but she was indeed the goddess of knowledge, as well
26:36as music, abundance and wealth.
26:37So it would make some sense, but she was not the inspiration there.
26:41The question is to which other words we derive from gods.
26:44As I say, there are so many in English, and many of them are wrapped up with Greek myth,
26:50which is wonderful.
26:52I think my favourite is a panic, a nod to the Greek pan, who is notorious for inspiring
26:57terror at travellers at night.
26:59He would hide in the woods and he would make these incredibly eerie noises and people would
27:03be petrified and go into a panic.
27:06And also Echo, a nymph who is deprived of speech, quite sad this one, by a hearer, because she
27:13just chatted too much.
27:14And so she was left with the ability only to repeat what others had said.
27:19Ah, lovely.
27:20Thank you very much, Susie.
27:20APPLAUSE
27:21OK, who's going to be broken-hearted today?
27:26We have no idea.

28:47Forgets and grouted.
28:49There's no D for grouted. I was simply accepting that one,
28:52but there's no D there, David, I'm afraid.
28:55All right, seven points at it as we get our final letters of the day.

30:14Cheaper.
30:15Cheaper.
30:16I had cheap-un.
30:18Cheap-un and cheaper.
30:19Absolutely fine.
30:20Could you say anything beyond a seven, Susie and Tim?
30:22Nothing beyond seven, but hen-peck.
30:25Oh, nice. To hen-peck.
30:27Hen-peck, which is a verb.
30:29It is, there is a verb, yeah, for a seven.
30:31Right, here we go. Seven points in it.
30:33We move on to the numbers.
30:35David, a little bit of catch-up.
30:37Are you going to play it safe?
30:38Are you going to throw caution to the wind?
30:40I'm going to have three from the top.
30:41Three and three.
30:42We're kind of definitely on the gambling side of things.
30:46Hopefully we've got a crucial conundrum coming up.
30:48Let's see.
30:49First, the three little.
30:50Four, one and ten.
30:52And the three large.
30:5375, 25 and 100.
30:57And the target, 985.
31:00Number's up.
31:01985.
31:02Number's up.
31:03What on the AI broadcast?
31:05Take us, everybody.
31:06You know it.
31:07Take us.
31:08Take us.
31:09Take us.
31:10Look at our
31:14ε°Έγγ¦.
31:15Let's see.
31:17South Africa.
31:21Again, everyone.
31:22The lionitti.
31:25Guy Washington
31:27General.
31:28The lioness.
31:29Have you got a right.
31:30You have a right.
31:31985 was three large. Did it pay off, David?
31:37I got 984.
31:39Michael? 986.
31:41And one away as well. OK, David, off you go.
31:44100 minus 1.
31:45100 minus 1, 99.
31:48Yeah, times 10.
31:51990.
31:53And then take away the five.
31:56I can't... Sorry, 190.
31:58And then take away the four.
32:00But, unfortunately, you said one the other way.
32:02You said 984.
32:04Oh, what a moment. What a moment, David.
32:07My heart goes out on Valentine's Day as well.
32:10And, Michael, did you do it that way?
32:12I did it that way, yes.
32:14Oh, cruel!
32:16Oh, my goodness.
32:18Today of all days, Rich, take me the 985.
32:21Well, if you say 100, and instead of taking away one,
32:24if you add one, 101, times that by 10 for 1,010,
32:29and then take away the 25.
32:31985.
32:32Well done.
32:33Well done.
32:34Very cruel way to lose.
32:36Anyway, Michael, David, it's not crucial,
32:38but let's finish with a lot of love in the room
