00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown. We've made it to the end of another week. It is the 15th of March on our last show before St. Patrick's Day. So it is. Well, we get some Paddy's weekend. So we're celebrating it today. And thank you, Rachel Riley, for making the effort. Just for you, Colin. Yes. Love it. I love it. Well, listen, let me brag then about some things that the Irish invented, we invented, that we never get credit for, but we should. All right. Chocolate milk. Hear me out.
00:58There was an Irish guy, true story, called Han Sloan. And he was in Jamaica where they would mix cocoa with water. And he thought it was disgusting. So he changed it to milk. The rest is history. No need to thank us.
01:11I mean, it's not that, you know, high tech and on the list of achievement, but it is tasty. So I'll give you that. You got yourself out. I was really, really offended halfway through that sentence. You pulled it back. Thank you. Chocolate milk is ours.
01:22OK. Have you started low and you're going to build up to good stuff? That was the best one. What are you talking about? Interesting. OK.
01:28Well, it's a sunny afternoon. You're in southern England and you're taking a game of croquet because there's nothing more English wrong that was invented in Ireland.
01:37In fact, archbishops used to play it back in the day, the 1830s. Croquet is Irish.
01:43Let me throw in submarines, the modern tractor, the portable defibrillator and flavoured crisps. Thank you, Joseph Spud Murphy. True story, who invented flavoured crisps.
01:58There's a whole list of stuff we invented. Oh, well, crisps. I mean, who doesn't like crisps? Let's all celebrate that over the weekend.
02:05Hey, who doesn't like Halloween? That's ours. Hear me out. OK. So there was this festival called Samhain. It's an Irish celebration. It was celebrated way back before Halloween by the Celts.
02:18And the name translates to darker half. And that festival would be all about scaring off the evil spirits, lighting bonfires and dressing up. Now, does that ring any bells?
02:30OK. Yeah. And just to confirm, Susie Dent, I love when you're sort of, I was saying about Halloween and stuff and was only like 90% sure that was true, but you were nodding your head.
02:40I have absolutely heard that fact. Love that. Yeah, it's a good one.
02:43Well, a double happy St Patrick's Day to you. Thank you. And Rick Edwards, of course, alongside you all this week. Is that a sort of an attempt at green?
02:49It's a nod. It's a nod. It's a nod to green. It's a muddy green.
02:52Cautiously welcoming St Patrick's Day weekend. Yeah, yeah, don't want to go overboard. You might find it offensive.
02:57Thank you, Rick.
03:01Well, listen, this week a new star has been born. Lucas Glanville, three wins, 300 points already. Really nice to have you back, young man.
03:10Delighted to be back.
03:11Let's see if you can get your fourth win today. You're up against Kate Murphy, who's a Merseysider, yes?
03:17I'm from Liverpool. Well, we live in Liverpool, yeah, but I'm from the Wirral.
03:20From the Wirral. Lovely stuff. Great part of the world. Two daughters. And lucky you're here to tell the tale.
03:26Well, take us back to your honeymoon.
03:29Yeah, so we travelled round America for two months on honeymoon. And one of the things we did while we were there was we were kayaking in the Everglades.
03:38Who goes kayaking in the Everglades, by the way? You know what's coming, right?
03:42So it's lovely in the daytime. You know, you don't see anything. And then as the sun goes down, you just see the alligators start to come up from the water.
03:50But it's fine. Live to tell the tale.
03:53Happy days. Happy days. Well, you're in safer waters here, Kate. Best of luck to you and to Lucas.

06:49from the letters. Rick?
06:51Well, I mean, my thing was, surely the place that you make fudge is a fudgery.

13:494 minus 3 for 1.
13:51Well done, 6-2-4.
13:52Yes, indeed.
13:54APPLAUSE
13:54Fantastic stuff, our economics student doing very, very well indeed.
14:00As we take a little break, our last chat with Rick Edwards.
14:03Mentioned the World Cup there.
14:04You work, you know, every morning on Breakfast with Rachel Burden on BBC 5 Live.
14:09So that mixture of news and sport.
14:11Yeah.
14:11So the Euros is coming up.
14:12You're going to be involved in that this summer.
14:14You've really been taking it to the extreme, have you, in terms of your preparation?
14:19Well, what I thought was, well, first of all, I'm extremely excited about the Euros
14:25because I love an international football tournament.
14:27And I fairly recently discovered that I love Germany.
14:30I never thought I would particularly go to Germany because it wasn't really on my radar.
14:34And then I went and I was like, hang on a minute, this place is fantastic.
14:38The food's amazing, if you like beer and sausages, which I do.
14:41The people are great, they're really fun.
14:43They're much funnier than people give them credit for.
14:45It's beautiful.
14:47And so I've been back to Germany a number of times, went to Germany on my stag do.
14:51And so I'm thrilled that I'm going out there for the Euros.
14:55And I thought, what would be really great is if I can learn German and then sort of just be going around speaking German in Germany.
15:02And so I've started.
15:04And it is, it's going OK, but it's quite funny because when you use one of these sort of popular websites to do it,
15:12you aren't learning a huge amount that is useful in terms of you thinking about trying to converse with someone in German
15:17or talk about the football.
15:19So I'm literally saying things like, you know,
15:22And I don't think a football fan is going to be interested in me telling them that the owl is smart and nice.
15:30Have you learned VAR is just terrible, we need to get rid of it in German?
15:34I've thought about whether I need to just start plugging in key phrases.
15:39But it feels like a really nice idea.
15:41It's probably a bit too ambitious.
15:42But I've got three, four months.
15:44Yeah.
15:44See, I think the ambitious thing is trying to learn a language at your age.
15:48I tried Spanish recently and I picked up Pidgin and I can understand it a lot more when I hear other people speak it.
15:56But it just doesn't stay in.
15:58Very difficult.
15:59A big regret not to sort of spend more time at school learning languages.
16:03Absolutely.
16:04Like, if I could go back and speak to my young self, that is the one thing I would say is languages is something that you will value.
16:11Yeah.
16:11You'll be really happy if you speak a language.
16:12At school I was like, it's pointless.
16:14Yeah.
16:15A big waste of time.
16:15And I didn't really pay any attention.
16:17That and don't be such a heartbreaker.
16:19Yeah.
16:20Don't be such a heartbreaker.
16:21I've never said that to myself.
16:23But yeah, I mean, effectively, I just know that when I have tried to learn languages before,
16:28it's fine as long as the conversation goes exactly as I expect it to.
16:33If there's any deviation from what I've learned, forget it.
16:38It's just a lot of me saying, oh, langsamer, bitter, langsamer.
16:41Listen, I don't have much confidence in you getting there, but I love, I love the enthusiasm.
16:47OK, well, I'll have to take that.
16:48Thank you, Rick.
16:52OK, 46.29.
16:55Only the last couple of rounds there's been a bit of daylight between Lucas and Kate.
16:58So, a lot to play for still, Lucas.
17:01And it's your letters.
17:02May I start with a consonant, please?
17:04Thank you, Lucas.
17:05And a final E.
17:30And here we go again.
17:32MUSIC PLAYS
17:34And here we go again.
18:04Um, seven, not written down.
18:06OK, and Kit?
18:07Seven.
18:08All right, Lucas.
18:09Winners.
18:10Winners and Kit.
18:11Winners.
18:12There you go.
18:15Seven points each for winners.
18:17Very good indeed.
18:18And that is ours as well.
18:20Yeah, a couple of winners over here.
18:21Well, there you go.
18:22Couldn't do any better.
18:23Well done to both of you.
18:24So, let's go again, Kit.
18:25Consonant, please.

19:17Bye.
19:19Bye.
19:20Bye.
19:20Bye.
19:20Bye.
19:21Bye.
19:21Bye.
19:23Kate?
19:23I'll stick with an eight.
19:25I'll stick with an eight. That's confidence.
19:28Lucas?
19:30Nine.
19:31I hope he's not going for the nine that you didn't go for.
19:34Well, let's take it step by step, but this is drama.
19:36Kate Murphy, what's the eight?
19:38Devotion.
19:39Devotion. And Lucas?
19:41Devotions.
19:42And I'm guessing you were thinking, should you put the S on or not?
19:45Let's find out.
19:47Oh, Kate. Yes, prayers or religious observances are devotions.
19:52I'm so sorry.
19:54Well done.
19:56That is the most tepid response to anyone getting a nine ever.
20:00I know. I'm so sorry.
20:01It just feels a little cruel, doesn't it?
20:03It does. And, yeah, well done, Lucas.
20:04That is a brilliant spot.
20:05But I have to say, before the music started, Rick had already got it.
20:11Spotted it. Brilliant.
20:12Great moment for me.
20:13Lest we forget.
20:16Oh, that's a shame, Kate.
20:17And, you know, it does make a difference.
20:19You've been here a few days and you've settled in.
20:21You have that just slightly more clear thinking that Lucas had.
20:24So, no problems at all.
20:26But, yeah, huge, huge moment.
20:28Let's get back to the numbers then.
20:29Lucas?
20:30Too large, please.
20:31Too large.
20:32Four not.
20:33Thank you, Lucas.
20:34This time, that selection is seven, six, one and five.

21:29Perfect, 437.
21:30Yeah.
21:31Kate?
21:31Same way.
21:34Bullseye, well done.
21:37437 for the 10 points, 81, 46.
21:40How big that moment, the 8 and the 9, with devotion and devotions.
21:44All right, second Tea Town teaser and last of the week is update it.

22:11It's all about natural ability, which we have in spades when it comes to our champion, Lucas.

23:10Okay.
23:11Okay.
23:12Okay.
23:13Okay.
23:14Kate? Just a five. Yeah, difficult letters. Lucas? Five as well. Five as well. Kate? Teach.
23:24Teach. Lucas? Same words, teach. Teach. Well done. Other fives jumping out there, but anything beyond it?
23:32Yeah, I mean, tooth, um... Hocket. Hocket. Yeah, it's an interrupted effect in contemporary, well, medieval as well, but in music.
23:42Um, and though you like this one as well, there's also achoo. No. Just five. You can't put the T in, sadly.
23:49Still, not to be sneezed, that. Oh. Right, more letters, please, Lucas.
23:53Uh, may I start with a consonant, please? Thank you, Lucas. P. And a vowel. I. And a consonant. G. And a vowel.
24:04U. And a consonant. M. And a consonant. D. And a vowel. A. And a consonant.
24:16H. And a vowel, please. And a final E. Yeah, good luck.
24:22H. And a vowel.
24:53How many, Lucas? Uh, six. Six for you. And Kate? Six. Six as well.
24:59Lucas, the word? Imaged. Imaged. And Kate? Humped. And humped.
25:04Humped is there indeed. We were saved by that E because those letters looked awful.
25:08At two sixes. Dexterity corner.
25:11Uh, magpie. It's another quite nice six.
25:14Um, a bit disappointed. I don't think we can have pighead.
25:18No. Hyphenated, sadly.
25:20Clutching at straws, aren't we? Yeah. Clutching at straws.
25:23Yeah.
25:2492 plays 57. Four rounds still to go.
25:27Lucas, uh, up against real stiff opposition today.
25:30You, you are on for your highest score. Let's see if you can get there.
25:32Uh, but before all of that, Susie, origins of words?
25:36Well, um, I can mention a word that I have definitely talked about a little before.
25:42It's one of my favourite insults and just a reminder that the dictionary is particularly
25:45good at insults, um, and the historical dictionary especially.
25:49Uh, and, uh, do you remember the term ultra-crepidarian?
25:54No.
25:54So, an ultra-crepidarian is somebody who loves to talk about something they know very little about.
26:01Like coin tossing, for example.
26:04Well, I wouldn't dream of saying that Rick was an ultra-crepidarian.
26:08But, yeah, it's somebody who just talks as though they know everything about a subject
26:12when actually they genuinely don't.
26:14Um, and it's got a lovely story attached to it.
26:17But, um, I, what I haven't appreciated is that the story also gave us, um, slightly dated
26:23but enduring expression in English as well.
26:25So, I'll tell you the story.
26:26Uh, it involves a Greek painter called Apelles.
26:29And Apelles would put on these shows of his paintings.
26:32And what he liked to do is he would secretly eavesdrop on comments from the people who came
26:36to see his shows.
26:38And, um, you know, all was going very well.
26:40Normally, people would be extremely complimentary until he heard a cobbler.
26:45He recognised this person as a cobbler from the town who, um, came in and, first of all,
26:49started to criticise the sandal on this particular portrait that Apelles had done.
26:54And he thought, OK, well, fair enough.
26:56He's a cobbler.
26:56He knows what he's talking about.
26:58And then the cobbler proceeded to talk about the shape of the calf and the leg.
27:02At which point it is said, and I'm sure there's a lot of embellishment here, but Apelles came
27:07out from behind his screen and said, um, basically, stick to the sole or stick to the sandal.
27:14So, ultra-crepidarian means not be on the sandal.
27:17That's brilliant.
27:18Uh, but the expression that it also gave us is, a cobbler should stick to their last.
27:24And a last, um, if you are a cobbler, is a model of the foot.
27:27Um, you can imagine what it's like on which boots and shoes are shaped.
27:30So, you can see them in traditional cobblers even today.
27:34So, it's the same idea that a cobbler should only stick to the subject they know
27:38and to nothing else.
27:39That is an all-time great origins of words.
27:42And you're the antithesis of an ultra-crepidarian.
27:45Oh, good.
27:49Right, let's get back in the saddle, Kate.
27:51Your letters.
27:52Consonant, please.

28:57And eight from you, OK. Kate? Sluiced. And Lucas?
29:01Unlisted. Susie, do your thing, please.
29:04Yeah, well, unlisted definitely in the dictionary.
29:08And sluiced also. She sluiced her face in cold water. Yeah, well done.
29:12Rick, talk to me. Yeah, no advance on eight. There's another includes.
29:16Nice, all right. Lucas, nine more letters, please.
29:20May I start with the consonant, please? Thank you, Lucas.
29:22P. And a vowel. O. And a consonant. N. And a vowel. A. And a consonant. L. And a consonant. S. And a vowel. O. And a consonant. X. And a vowel, please.

30:12THEY CONFER
30:18Lucas, how many? Five.
30:20Five from you, Kate? Five.
30:22And a five as well. OK, Lucas?
30:24Pools. And Kate? Loops.
30:26Yeah, loops and pools and snooping and spooning and all sorts.
30:31It was so frustrating.
30:33I think axonal has something to do with nerves.
30:36Axonal. It is.
30:38Axon is a long thread-like part of a nerve cell,
30:41which conducts impulses.
30:43And axonal, yes, the additive relating to that.
30:46That will give you six.
30:47Axonal for six. One more numbers round to go this week.
30:50And, Kate, you get to do the honours.
30:52Can I have two large and four small, please?
30:55You can indeed, thank you, Kate.
30:56Two from the top and four others.
30:59And the final numbers of the week are three, two, one, seven.
31:04And the big ones, 25 and 100.
31:08And the target, 410.
31:10Last numbers.
31:12One more numbers.
31:14Every month.
31:15Two.
31:16Two.
31:17One more numbers.

31:42410, Kit?
31:44409. 409. One away, Lucas?
31:46Yeah, 409.
31:48Not written down. Not written down.
31:50Oh, by the skin of his teeth, I'll let him go. Off you go, Lucas.
31:533 plus 1 is 4.
31:553 plus 1 is 4.
31:57Times the 100. 400.
31:59Add the 7 and the 2.
32:01And the 7 and the 2, 4 and away.
32:03And Kit? Same way. Thank you.
32:05Wonderful. And thank you for having the decency to write it to me.
32:09OK.
32:10410, way more difficult than it should have been.
32:12It was. And so many dead ends.
32:14But I found one way.
32:16You could have said 100 minus 25 is 75.
32:20Add the 7 for 82.
32:23And then 2 plus 3 is 5.
32:25And times them together. Look at that.
32:27What a way to end the week.
32:28APPLAUSE
32:30Very good. Could not get there.
32:32As you say, so many cul-de-sacs.
32:34But that's how you do 410.
32:3610 points at home if you manage to match our rates.
32:39Well, look at this.
32:40Kit has been sensational today.
32:42About 112 plays 69.
32:44Phenomenal, Lucas.
32:45Let's get your finger on that buzzer.

33:15MUSIC
33:23Nothing from Lucas, nothing from Kate.
33:26I mean, Rick has had the show of his life today.
33:30I mean, I don't think it's a word.
33:32Unprecise.
33:34Well, let's reveal and see if you're right.
33:36Oh, it is a word.
33:38I thought it was imprecise.
33:40It is, but it can be that too.
33:42Well, listen, Lucas, you managed to beat your top score by one point, 112.
33:46You got 111 in your debut.
33:48Halfway to being an octo-champ.
33:50You're going to have the weekend back at Edinburgh.
33:52And we'll see you back on Monday.
33:53Thank you very much, sir.
33:56And, Kate, delight to have you here.
33:57You're a champion on another day.
33:59You've been up against a really special player.
34:01So, love to Erin and Nora, the two, Kate.
34:04Thanks for being here.
34:05Thanks for having me.
34:06Rick, we'll see you soon.
34:07Thank you, Sean.
34:08Yeah, I had a nice time apart from the bit where you said
34:10that my coin material was boring.
34:12I think I spoke for the nation.
34:14That's my job.
34:15Susie, have a great weekend.
34:16I will.
34:17You too.
34:18You too, Rich.
34:19And I think it's very dangerous, I have to say,
34:20booking an Irishman for the day after St Patrick's Day.
34:22Monday could be a bit of a mess.
34:24And even worse, Neil Delamere's in Dictionary Corner as well.
34:27Double trouble.
