00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studios.
00:33It was at this time of the year, back in 1965, that pretty much the south of France burst into flames.
00:39That sort of mountain, this region behind the Côte d'Azur, behind Grasse and Cannes and Nice, burst into flames.
00:47Of course, that's where all the campsites are.
00:49So all the Brits, of course lots of other, you know, campers, fled down to the beaches.
00:54It was really quite a time, and they had to be rescued, some of them, by boats that pulled into the beach and pulled them off.
01:00It was a tremendous thing.
01:03What about you? Had any holiday scares?
01:06Not with fires or anything like that.
01:07Probably the other end of the spectrum.
01:08I was rescued once from the sea by a lifeguard.
01:11Yeah, got taken under.
01:13I thought that was it, and I just kind of calmly was like, oh, there's not much I can do about this,
01:16and then got dragged out by someone who, yeah, saved me when I was about 14.
01:20Well, frightening.
01:21Yeah, but luckily some kind lifeguard saved me.
01:26Anyway, I'm all right.
01:26Well done.
01:28Now, who's back?
01:29Michael Pfeiffer's back, a sports analyst from Manchester.
01:32Two good wins.
01:34Welcome back.
01:34How are you feeling?
01:35Yeah, pretty good.
01:36You don't have a nerve in your body, do you?
01:38You're a very relaxed guy.
01:39It's all a facade.
01:40Oh, is it?
01:41Yeah.
01:42Underneath it's going quickly, yeah.
01:44All right.
01:44Well, you're joined by Johnny Curry, a mathematics student at Birmingham University,
01:49originally from Northumberland.
01:50Johnny's a promising athlete, I think back in 2015 it was?
01:55Yeah.
01:55That you won the Scottish 800-metre championships in the under-20s.
02:00How's it going now?
02:02I've had a bit of a patchy winter, but the season's been going all right, yeah.
02:06You had a bit of injury, you were telling me.
02:08Yeah, the past couple of years I've had a bit of a hip problem,
02:10a bit of an old man injury, but we're getting there.
02:13Well done.
02:14Well, good luck.
02:15Thanks.
02:15And let's have a big round of applause for Johnny and Michael.
02:18And over in the corner, Susie, of course, and she loves to live the wildlife with the
02:29wildlife.
02:30That's the wonderful Kate Humble.
02:31Welcome back, Kate.
02:32Love it to you.
02:33And now, Michael, let's get things underway, shall we?
02:40Letters game.
02:41Afternoon, Rachel.
02:41Afternoon, Michael.

04:03Oh.
04:04It's not there.
04:05It's a go.
04:06Yeah, always worth a try.
04:07Worth a shot.
04:08Bad luck.
04:08Worth a shot.
04:09Now, Kate and Susie.
04:12Erm, I didn't do as well as the guys.
04:15I got trained, which is just a seven, but Susie, you got an eight.
04:19Get those, er, indurate, or indurate.
04:22Er, I-N-D-U-R-A-T-E.
04:24Erm, it's to, um, harden.
04:25You usually find it with the adjective indurated.
04:27So, indurated clay, for example, would be soil that's very, very hard.
04:32All right.
04:35So, early lead from Michael.

12:52Yes, Johnny?
13:05760.
13:07And Michael?
13:09Yeah, 760. Not brilliantly written down.
13:11Let's hear from you, then. How have you got on?
13:13So I did 75 plus 1.
13:1676.
13:17And then 100 over 50.
13:19100 over 50 is 2.
13:21Times 5 is 10.
13:23And times them together.
13:24Lovely. 760.
13:26And Johnny?
13:27Pretty much the same. I just did 50 over 25 for the two.
13:30Lovely. That'll do.
13:33Well done.
13:36So pretty close together. 49 playing 33 as we turn to Kate.
13:41And when you're not travelling the world making TV programs, which you do a great deal,
13:45do you like to get away from it all?
13:47I do.
13:49I mean, I'm quite lucky.
13:51I think most of the programs that I do involve me getting away from it all.
13:57This is very high tech.
13:59Being in the studio never happens to me.
14:01I'm usually in the rain wearing a lot of waterproof clothing.
14:05But when I come home, I live in Wales, in the Wyre Valley.
14:10It's a beautiful area.
14:13And one of the things that I was told was that if you're going to live in the countryside,
14:19you have to sort of forego things like broadband speeds and mobile phone signal.
14:26And on our farm, which, you know, we run as a business and we run courses.
14:32People can come and do rural skills courses.
14:35But we also have accommodation.
14:37And one of the places that people can stay is completely off grid.
14:41So there's no electricity.
14:43It's got a little solar panel.
14:44And it's a shepherd's hut.
14:46So it's very much in keeping with the farm.
14:48But we had a couple who had booked in to stay.
14:51And they came down from London.
14:54My husband showed this couple to the hut.
14:57And the young man looked at his phone and went.
15:02And he literally, he looked like he was in shock.
15:04He just went, there's no phone signal.
15:06I went, well, no, we did tell you that.
15:07He said, there's no 3G.
15:09He went, no, there isn't any of that either.
15:11And he was sort of, you know, what am I going to do?
15:16And Ludo, my husband, said, well, don't worry.
15:18You know, we can take your phone to the office and we can plug it in.
15:21And so, you know, you'll have charge.
15:23And when you go down to the town, which is only three miles away, you know, all your things will ping back to you.
15:29So you could see this man sort of, it was like a sort of physical wrench taking his phone away.
15:34Anyway, he turns up at the office next morning looking slightly shell-shocked.
15:39And he said, and my husband went, are you OK?
15:41And he said, I slept for 14 hours.
15:45And it just goes to show that actually when you're not sort of hooked up to a device all the time, when you're not interrupted by all the things that sort of distract us,
15:59when you can just immerse yourself in your surroundings, how much more relaxing and I suspect healthy that is.
16:06And the lovely thing is, he said, can I come back?
16:11This is going to, you know, keep me sane.
16:15So, yes, it was a very good lesson to show that digital detox really does have a very good effect on people.
16:23Couldn't agree more.
16:24Could not agree more.
16:25Well done.
16:30Spot on, Kate.
16:31Absolutely agree with that.
16:32Now, Michael, narrow lead.

24:02And a vowel, please.
24:04And lastly, O.
24:07And here's the countdown clock.
24:40Michael.
24:41Seven.
24:42A seven, Johnny?
24:44Seven as well.
24:45Mm-hmm.
24:45Michael?
24:46Jostled.
24:47And?
24:48Stooled?
24:50Stooled.
24:53Um, yeah, absolutely fine.
24:56Used in gardening, for example, to describe a plant that throws up shoots from the root.
25:01Well done.
25:01That's fine.
25:02Well done.
25:02And in the corner?
25:04Couldn't do better than that.
25:05Um, I got a six, which was tooled, which is allowed as well.
25:09That is.
25:10Yeah.
25:10Um, but otherwise jostled as well.
25:12Well done.
25:14Eighty-four to fifty-eight.
25:15Susie, it's your origins of words.
25:18What have we today?
25:20Uh, well, every so often, uh, two words in English will, uh, crop up.
25:26And they, they look fairly similar and they sound fairly similar.
25:29They have such widely divergent meanings that you think they couldn't possibly be related.
25:34But quite often they are, if you go back and dig a little bit through history.
25:38And pilgrim and peregrin are two such, uh, examples.
25:43Uh, and as I say, the reason they look so alike is they actually do share the very same root.
25:47And in that case, the root is the Latin peregrinus, uh, which meant, uh, a foreigner.
25:52And that breaks down into, uh, per, meaning, uh, through, as in percolate, for example.
25:57And agar, meaning, uh, land or field.
26:00It's the root of, uh, agriculture.
26:02But to get back to peregrin, we associate today with the peregrin falcon.
26:08More often than not, the Latin name for the bird is falcol peregrinus.
26:13And, uh, going back to that idea of being a foreigner, it was so-called because it's migratory, it's wandering, and it comes from, uh, abroad.
26:21And I was talking to Kate about this.
26:22Some of them, uh, travel as far as, uh, from the Arctic tundra to sub-Saharan Africa.
26:28Although I think you said the native species here don't.
26:30Tend to stay around here, yeah.
26:31So it's some species that migrate.
26:33Yeah, that migrate, uh, quite a long way.
26:3525,000 kilometres in some cases.
26:38So that neatly explains, uh, the bird's name.
26:40It's a foreigner.
26:41It comes from abroad.
26:41And it's also wandering.
26:43Pilgrim, um, it started off as, uh, peregrinus, like the peregrin falcon.
26:49But because that was slightly harder to say, an L crept in.
26:53Again, not unusual in English.
26:54So it became peregrinus.
26:55And in Italian, they did the same thing with peregrino, uh, meaning a pilgrim.
26:59Uh, meanwhile, as often again in our language, it travelled through, uh, French.
27:04And then eventually came over into English as pelerin.
27:07And it became peregrinus, uh, in English.
27:10And it settled on pilgrim today.
27:11And the link, of course, is that pilgrims voyage too.
27:14So they all go back to that same single route of the wanderer, the pilgrim and the peregrin.
27:19That's really wonderful.
27:20Great start.
27:21Well done.
27:24Very good.
27:26Perfect, in fact.
27:2884 to 58.
27:30Michael in the lead.
27:31Now then, Johnny, let us go.
27:33Uh, continent, please.
27:34Thank you, Johnny.

28:33Johnny.
28:39Uh, six.

28:42And Johnny.
28:43Hamper.
28:44Hamper and?
28:45Same word.
28:46Two hampers.
28:48In the corner, Susie and Kate.
28:51This might be just wishful thinking and tautology at the same time.
28:54OK.
28:54Can you have a beam prop?
28:56A beam prop.
28:58Oh.
28:59No.
29:00No.
29:00You can't.
29:01You've got to have given us a great eight.
29:03Uh, because we were stuck on sixes, otherwise.
29:04Pamper, hopper, that kind of thing.
29:08Bad luck with the beam prop.
29:0990 pays 64.
29:12Michael, final letters came for you.
29:14I'll have a letter?
29:16Sorry.

30:30Now, Johnny.
30:31Sealant.
30:33Sealant, very good.
30:34Yeah, absolutely.
30:36Excellent.
30:36Sealant, well done.
30:37Well done.
30:38And over in the corner.
30:40Analyze is there for seven.
30:42Yes.
30:43Yeah.
30:44Actually, you can build on that a little bit.
30:46And for analytes, which will give you an A.
30:49That's A-N-A-L-Y-T-E-S.
30:52And they are things in chemistry that are being identified and measured and subjected to analysis.
30:59So they are analytes.
31:01All right.
31:01Well done.
31:05Thank you, Susie, for that.
31:07So, numbers.
31:08Johnny, make the most of it.
31:10Numbers game.
31:11I'll go with four large, two small again.
31:12Yep.
31:13And you can still do it with a sprint finish at the end there.
31:15We're out of the game yet.
31:17Thank you, Johnny.
31:17The last numbers game of today is four and three.
31:21And then the big ones.
31:21Twenty-five, one hundred, fifty, seventy-five.
31:26And the target to reach, six hundred and ninety-one.
31:29Six, nine, one.
31:30Six, three, three, each other.
31:34Okay.
31:53Two, three, each other.
31:57Johnny?
32:03Erm, ssss...
32:04No, I've gone wrong.
32:06Michael?
32:076, 9, 7.
32:096, 9, 7.
32:10So how did you get there?
32:12I did 4 plus 3.
32:134 plus 3, 7.
32:15Times 100.
32:16700.
32:1775 over 25.
32:19Is 3.
32:21Take it away.
32:226, 9, 7.
32:24Well done.
32:24But 6, 9, 1, Rachel, dig us out of this one.
32:27Erm, this one was possible if you say 50 times 4 is 200.
32:33Minus 3 is 1, 9, 7.
32:3675 over 25 is 3.
32:39Times those together for 591 and add on the 100.
32:43There we are.
32:44Well done.
32:476, 9, 1.
32:48Well done.
32:50So, the score's standing 95 to Johnny's 71.
32:54We're going to the final round.
32:55Gentlemen, fingers on buzzers.
32:57Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:12Michael?
33:12Loosening.
33:14Let's see whether you're right.
33:16Oh, let's see.
33:17Here we go.
33:18Loosening.
33:19Well done.
33:19Well done.
33:25Well done, Michael.
33:26Well played.
33:28105.
33:29Good score.
33:30But 71's a good score too, Johnny.
33:32Congratulations.
33:32That was good.
33:33Take this goodie bag back to Birmingham with you.
33:37And good luck in your, you know, athletics career.
33:40Get that hip straightened out.
33:41I know what a bad hip's like.
33:42Seems to be okay for that.
33:44I'm sure that it'll, you know, you'll grow into it, as they say.
33:48Yeah.
33:48All right.
33:48Well, good luck.
33:50We shall see you tomorrow, Michael.
33:51Well done.
33:52See you then.
33:52Well done again.
33:53Fantastic.
33:54And we shall see the corner again.
33:56You will.
33:56Kate and Susie too.
33:58Brilliant stuff.
33:59Do they?
33:59Very good.
34:00What do you reckon for this, Michael, then?
34:02It's very good.
34:02You're not bad, is it?
34:03I think with your stagnant hips, you can get some tips off Johnny.
34:06We can sort them out, get you back on the running track.
34:09So where's the Geriatric Olympics, Nick?
34:13Oh, no.
34:15We shall see you tomorrow.
34:16See you tomorrow.
34:17Yeah.
34:17Never bring that up again.
34:19Same time tomorrow.
34:22Join us here.
34:22Same place.
34:23You'll be sure of it.
