06:14Now then, balls?
06:17Yeah, ball.
06:18You play it in France and sometimes over here as well.
06:20It's the French game involving metal balls.
06:24You play it on rough ground.
06:25It's a little bit like bowls.
06:26Yeah, ball.
06:27Yeah.
06:27I do love it, you know, these old French codgers.
06:34It's so sweet.
06:35They don't want to bend down to pick up their balls.
06:38So they have a magnet on the end of a piece of string.
06:41And they're just able to do that and bring it up.
06:43Ah.
06:44Why waste, you know, why exhaust yourself picking up your balls when you can do it with a magnet?
06:49That's what I say.
06:5013 plays seven.

10:10We were looking up failure ourselves, actually,
10:13just to check to see whether it was in,
10:14and it's not, I'm afraid.
10:16I'm really sorry.
10:17That's bad luck, isn't it?
10:18Yeah.
10:19Now, what can we have?
10:21Helen?
10:21Well, we found derails as well,
10:23but just at the last minute we found an eight in there.
10:26Salaried is highly in there.

11:37Michael six David just for and that for Paul now they're Michael we plow your
11:47spelling plow P L O W possibly the one way we plow is not there and I think
11:56that might be yes just the American spelling plow that way so I'm afraid
12:01after this lab we've drawn a blank there then what have we got Helen's we drew a
12:06little bit of a blank I think I think they were really tough letters we found
12:09oilier for six yep there's pro for five but that was the only was our best yeah
12:17for six oilier 27 to 11 and now David it's your numbers game cover one large
12:23and five small please thank you David one from the top five little ends and this
12:28time around the numbers are six eight six seven nine and a large 125
12:36and this target seven hundred and twenty four seven two four
12:40so
12:45David seven two five seven two five
12:52David seven two five seven two five Michael same David nine plus eight nine plus eight seven six
12:59six plus the six twelve six plus six twelve add them together 29 times 25 yep seven two five one away
13:04Michael same way
13:11now seven two four
13:13seven two four
13:15seven two five five eight seven seven six plus eight eight seven six plus six twelve
13:22six plus six twelve add them together 29 times 25 yep seven two five one away
13:28Michael same way
13:29yeah so now seven two four how difficult is that possible um well if you say six times six is thirty six minus seven is twenty nine and then you can times that by twenty five again for seven two five and you have to pick all that four right
13:37Six times six is 36.
13:40Minus seven is 29.
13:42And then you can times that by 25 again for 725.
13:45And you have a nine and an eight to give you one takeaway.
13:49Well done.
13:52Thank you, Rachel.
13:53Fabulous.
13:5434 plays up.
13:55David's 18.
13:56We turn to Helen.
13:58You've been campaigning to save the great British pub with actor Neil Stuke for the last couple of years.
14:04It's a tough old battle, isn't it?
14:06How's it going?
14:06It is a tough old battle.
14:08And more than 20 pubs, often historic ones and much used and loved ones, are closing every single week in Britain.
14:17I thought I'd turn it on its head today and give you two positive stories,
14:20which hopefully will inspire communities out there who are trying to save their local from closing.
14:26So I did a special on the great British pub with Neil a year ago.
14:30And in that special, we featured his local, the Dartmouth Arms, in North London.
14:34A beautiful pub, all boarded up and all set to be turned into luxury apartments.
14:39But the community rallied and it's been a two-year, long, tough battle.
14:44But a few weeks ago, they opened their doors again as a pub and sort of regenerated that community.
14:51So that had a happy ending.
14:52And also another pub I wanted to talk about in North London, the Queensbury, which is such a small world.
14:58I found out Michael actually lives next door to the Queensbury and is a regular there.
15:04So he's interested in the story.
15:05But it's a beautiful, big old building.
15:07And again, developers took a look at it and thought, well, that would make, you know, nine or ten spectacular flats.
15:12So the community got together and armed with little more than a whip round from the bar,
15:17not only have they fought their local council, they went to a five-day tribunal to try and prove why that pub is of so much value to the community.
15:26In the daytime, it's used by the elderly, it's used by mother and toddler playgroups, all that kind of thing.
15:32It really is an asset to the community.
15:34And the good news is that it looks like it's going to remain a pub and its doors will stay open.
15:39And it can be intimidating.
15:40You're often up against highly paid barristers and, you know, people are fighting with their heart.
15:46But I thought it was nicer to give you a more positive spin today.
15:48Absolutely.
15:49Because a lot of people up and down the country, everyone has a pub story.
15:52Excellent.
15:56Well, all we can say is more strength to your arm.
16:01That's what we'll say.
16:02You keep going.
16:03Well done.
16:03Cheers.
16:04So Michael on 34, David on 80.

18:21I.
18:22Hmm, David.
18:37At five.
18:39Michael.
18:39Yeah, I'm at five.
18:41David.
18:41Chair.
18:42And choir.
18:44And choir.
18:46Helen, what do you think?
18:47I'm shaking my head because I only did a four arch is all I could find.
18:51It's not very good.
18:51What did Susie do?
18:52Five cargo, chair.
18:55Get me on that.
18:56All right.
18:57Yeah.
18:58Let's pass on.
18:59Only nine points in it, you know, chaps.
19:0039 to 30.
19:02And now, Michael, it's your numbers game.
19:06I'll have six more, please, Rachel.
19:07You can indeed, taking this competition seriously.
19:10Six little ones in the game.
19:11Right.
19:12They are five, eight, two, four, seven and nine.
19:19And the target, 828.
19:21Eight, two, eight.
19:23Eight, two, eight.
19:24Nine, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten.
19:37Michael.
19:55Mmm... 823, I think.
19:58823, David.
19:59I think I've got 8 to 8.
20:01Let's try.
20:028 plus 2 is 10.
20:038 plus 2, 10.
20:05Times 5.
20:0650.
20:079 times the 7 is 16.
20:119 times...
20:11Sorry, say that again.
20:12So 9 plus the 7 is 16, sorry.
20:147, 16, yep.
20:15Times a 50.
20:17Times it together for 800.
20:19I've already upped 7.
20:20Oh, sorry, David.
20:22Well, 4 7s would be 28, yeah.
20:24Bad luck.
20:25I tell you what, you gave Michael a shock.
20:28823, Michael.
20:30I tried 5 plus 4.
20:325 plus 4 is 9.
20:34And then I times it by 9.
20:37And then times it by 9, 81.
20:39And then I did 5 times 2, and I'm making this up completely as I go along.
20:44Sorry, Michael.
20:44This is nonsense, yeah.
20:45There's a 5 already.
20:46Yes.
20:47No way to...
20:47Sorry!
20:48That's fine.
20:49Rachel, drag us out of this chaos.
20:52Okay.
20:528 to 8?
20:52Right, they're hopefully not using anything more than once.
20:55You can say 8 divided by 2 is 4.
20:58Times it by 9 is 36.
21:00And then 4 times 7 is 28.
21:03Minus 5 is 23.
21:05And times it together.
21:06Oh, well done.
21:07Well done.
21:07So, still just 9 points in it.
21:1339 to where David's 30.
21:16Narrow.
21:17Very narrow.
21:17Let's have a tea time teaser.
21:18It's part uncle and the clue.
21:20For the most part, the uncle was completely sozzled.
21:23For the most part, the uncle was completely sozzled.
21:27The answer to that is crapulent, Susie.
21:52What does that mean?
21:53Yeah, it's a good word to use the morning after the night before.
21:56If you're feeling a little bit worse for wear.
21:58It's an adjective meaning relating to drinking and drunkenness.
22:03Another word for it is crop sick.
22:05So, as I say, if you're feeling...
22:07It comes from the Greek meaning a drunken headache.
22:09So, that gives you the idea.
22:11Crapulent.
22:11Yes.
22:13Really?
22:14Yes.
22:14Well, well, well.
22:15Try and avoid that.
22:1639 to 30.
22:179 points.
22:18Oh, nothing.
22:19We're in the final furlong, chaps.
22:22David, let us game.
22:24Can we have a consonant, please, Rachel?
22:25Thank you, David.

23:38You'll kick yourselves, gentlemen.
23:39There were a couple of sevens there.
23:41Cutties and justice.
23:44Strong stuff.
23:45And?
23:45Yeah.
23:45Anything else?
23:46Just tell you what a cutty is.
23:47It's a short tobacco pipe, with the emphasis on short, because cutty, as in cutty, sark.
23:52Yeah.
23:52A short undergarment means shortened.
23:56Yeah.
23:5745 to 36.

25:06Seven.
25:07Michael.
25:08Stand.
25:09Now, David Whitby.
25:11Saluted.
25:12Very good.
25:13Yep, very nice.
25:14Good play.
25:15Saluted, my word.
25:17And in the corner?
25:19Well, there's another seven slanted,
25:21but I think there was a bigger one, wasn't there?
25:23A little eight in there.
25:24Yes.
25:25If you like your peanuts this way, unsalted.
25:28Unsalted, indeed.
25:29Well done.
25:30So, what have we got here, Michael?
25:3245 to 43.
25:34David is on your tail.
25:36Relax.
25:37Regroup.
25:38While Susie gives us her wonderful origins of words.
25:41Yes, Susie?
25:42I'm going to talk today about words that have changed for no other reason in English other than through snobbery.
25:48And I'm going to start with lunch and luncheon because, like most people, including myself,
25:53you probably think that lunch was a shortening of the word luncheon.
25:57But in fact, lunch, we're pretty sure, came first.
26:01And it first referred to a hunk or a thick slice of food, such as bread or cheese.
26:08And the evidence suggests that lunch evolved from lump just as hump and hunch and bump and bunch are very closely connected.
26:17Luncheon then became a posher alternative, if you like.
26:21So, people extended it, thinking it sounded a little bit better.
26:25Lunch almost completely disappeared.
26:27And then when it popped up again, people just assumed it was a shortening of luncheon.
26:31But there's another one, which is one of my favourites, and that's Welsh rarebit.
26:35Now, I was always brought up to say Welsh rarebit rather than Welsh rabbit, and that rarebit was the correct version.
26:41In fact, it wasn't. It was always Welsh rabbit.
26:44And in the 17th and 18th century, Welsh was used very unfairly as a slightly patronising epithet for anything of inferior quality or inferior grade.
26:54So, to use a Welsh comb, for example, was to comb your hair with your fingers rather than with a comb.
27:01Welsh rabbit became a nickname for a dish that you resorted to when no meat was available.
27:06So, they called it the rabbit that the Welsh eat.
27:08In other words, they couldn't afford meat. They would simply have cheese on toast.
27:12But over the time, Welsh rabbit sounded perhaps a little bit vulgar again.
27:16And so, people thought rarebit sounded much more refined, and rarebit crept in.
27:21Rabbit was the original, the true version, and one that I think we should use today.
27:25Indeed. Thank you.
27:26Well done.
27:31Wonderful. Thank you.
27:3245 to 43. Gloves are off.
27:35David, let us get.
27:37A consonant, please.
27:38Thank you, David.
27:39D.
27:40And another.
27:42P.
27:44And another.
27:46L.
27:47And a vowel, please.
27:48O.
27:50And another.
27:51A.
27:53And another.
27:54E.
27:56And a consonant.
27:58V.
28:00And a vowel, please.
28:02U.
28:03And a final consonant.
28:05And a final F.
28:08Countdown.
28:09Let's go.
28:15And a row over.
28:17And a vowel, please.
28:19I can.
28:20And a Karen.
28:22And I can.
28:23And a vowel, please.
28:28And a vowel, please.
28:31Let's go.
28:33Before.
28:34David?
28:41Just a five.
28:42Michael?
28:43A six.
28:45David?
28:46Loved.
28:46Loved and?
28:47Upload.
28:49Upload.
28:50Well done.
28:51Yes, very, very good.
28:52Well done.
28:53Now, Helen?
28:55You always look so excited, but I've got loved and upload,
28:58so nothing new, I'm afraid.
29:00All right.
29:00And, uh, Susie?
29:02No, better than six, I'm afraid.
29:05So, Michael's put a little bit of air between him and David, 51 to 43,
29:11as we turn to the final letters game.
29:13Yes, Michael?
29:14Consonant, please.

29:43And here's the countdown clock.
29:44So, thank you.
29:58What about Michael?
30:17Dodgy seven.
30:20David?
30:20Seven.
30:22Michael?
30:23Sampler.
30:24David?
30:25Leapers.
30:26OK, sample is absolutely fine.
30:29Can you be a leaper?
30:29You certainly can.
30:30And in the corner, Helen.
30:31And in the corner.
30:33Using sample, you could have had re-sample.
30:35Cheeky little eight in there.
30:37There we go.
30:38Susie?
30:38Yeah, that was good for eight.
30:4050 plays, 58.
30:41Still at eight-point difference as we go into the final numbers game.
30:45David?
30:46One large, please, Rachel.
30:48Five small.
30:48Thank you, David.
30:48One large, five small, and a possible crucial conundrum coming up.
30:51The final numbers game of the day is nine, nine, two, eight, six, and the large one, 25.
31:03And the target, 932.
31:05932.

31:45Try it.
31:46I did 8 times 6.

31:58Yes, 9, 3, 4, 2 above.
32:01Well done.
32:02But 9, 3, 2.
32:03Rachel.
32:04Yes, for this one, you could have said 25.
32:07Times 9 is 225.
32:10Add 8 for 233.
32:13And then 6 minus 2 is 4.
32:15And times them together.
32:17Well done.
32:18Well done, Rachel.
32:21So there we have it.
32:22Michael on 65.
