00:30Hello, everybody. It is Tuesday, October 29th.
00:34It is Halloween week and we've got a very, very special show planned
00:38for Halloween itself on Thursday.
00:40But normal make-up for us all today.
00:42How are you doing, Rachel?
00:43Two more sleeps, Colin.
00:44Yes, come on, we love it.
00:46It is like our countdown Christmas. We love it.
00:48Right, it's a Halloween quiz today.
00:51OK.
00:52So here we go.
00:52We're going to bring in a dictionary corner, our G of the D, Susie Den,
00:55and the very funny Neil Delamere,
00:57who's the most competitive comedian on the planet.
01:00I will describe in a line a movie that you might watch at Halloween
01:05and you have to shout out what the movie is.
01:07OK.
01:08Here we go.
01:09A nice bit of meat, a few veg and a lovely glass of wine.
01:13Oh, Silence of the Lambs.
01:14Silence of the Lambs.
01:15Brilliant.
01:16Excellent.
01:17Carnival record, of course, and his famous meal.
01:19Right, here we go.
01:20Number 2.
01:22No scary movie has ever kept us awake like this one.
01:26And we've got ways to thank.
01:28Nightmare on Elm Street.
01:30I feel like Neil started first, but Susie finished it quicker.
01:35We're a team.
01:35I've started, so she'll finish.
01:37Yes.
01:37That's how it works in quizzes.
01:38So I'll give it to Susie.
01:39Well done, Susie.
01:40One all.
01:41You'll give it to the person you work with consistently.
01:44Here's a surprise.
01:45I'm going to give it to the person I like better.
01:47Oh, OK.
01:47Well, I have no chance.
01:48I think you get this one, Neil.
01:52This movie really scared me, but you're not going to catch me saying that five times in
01:57the mirror.
01:57Oh, the book The Candyman.
01:59Oh, my goodness.
02:00Brilliant.
02:02What a movie.
02:03Well, that adds up to a win for Rachel.
02:06Wonderful.
02:06And it was a win for David Rowe.
02:0923 years after reaching the series quarterfinals.
02:12He's back for another bite at the countdown cherry.
02:15And David, we know that you love your baseball, so we've connected.
02:18But also loads of local sports, including your local ice hockey team.
02:22Tell me about that.
02:24Well, I just go and watch them when they're at home.
02:26I don't have any particularly great interest.
02:29I just like watching the ice hockey.
02:30It looks like a tough sport.
02:32It's not as tough as hockey, which is what our Anna C. Mayer, who we welcome from Badgeworth
02:38near Gloucester, loves to play, loves to watch.
02:41I've always said field hockey's up there with, say, maybe Hurlene, Neil, as the toughest
02:46sport to play.
02:47You don't get pads like an ice hockey and NFL.
02:50It's a glorious sport.
02:51Tell me about your love of it.
02:53Oh, I've always loved playing it, ever since I was a child.
02:55But I've come back into it.
02:56And now I support my two children through it as well.
02:59So we're all three of us playing.
03:01Any injuries for you?
03:03Yes, I have one at the moment.
03:05Yeah?
03:05Yes, playing with my daughter's team, probably my ACL, but I'm not sure.
03:11Well, that won't affect the letters and numbers.
03:13That's all right.
03:13As long as it's not to the hands, you'll be fine.
03:16Right, fantastic work.
03:17Anna and David, best of luck.
03:19APPLAUSE
03:20Let's push back, David.
03:23Hi, Rachel.
03:24Hi, David.
03:25Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:26You can indeed start today with N.
03:29And another consonant.

03:36Another vowel.

04:07We'll see you next time.
04:14We'll see you next time.
04:27MUSIC PLAYS
04:30David? Five. Yeah, difficult start, Anna?
04:34Five as well. Five as well, good stuff. David?
04:36Spoon. Spoon. Are we spooning?
04:39Yeah, we are.
04:41Excellent. Five points each. What about you, Neil?
04:44Susie got a six, didn't you?
04:46Yes, to unsnap.
04:48Can you imagine you've got your little lunchbox and you unsnap the clasps?
04:53That was a six. I had spoof, which I like as well.
04:56Spoof was in there and you can't unspoof. What a shame.
04:59Right, Anna, there you go. Let's get our second letters today.
05:02OK, hi, Rachel. Hi, Anna.
05:03So, consonant, please. Thank you. Start with M.
05:07And another, please.

06:10So, seven.
06:11Seven.
06:11And David?
06:12Seven.
06:12And seven.
06:13Look at this for a start.
06:14Off you go, Anna.
06:15Misused.
06:16Misused.
06:17And David the same.
06:19Spoons and misused means it's even Stevens, Dictionary Corner.
06:23There are a couple of sevens, misused, as you said,
06:26but despised, but we can't beat seven.
06:29We will just move on then, get our first numbers of the day.
06:31David?
06:31Could have four from the top and two from the bottom, please.
06:34Another four from the top.
06:36We know what's coming here and two little ones.
06:38Let's see what kind of challenge we have.
06:40First numbers, six, eight, 75, 25, 50 and 100.
06:46And the target you need to reach?
06:49197.
06:50197.
06:51Numbers up.
06:561-9-7, David.

07:24The chartered accountant doesn't miss the numbers.
07:27Anna?
07:281-9-7.
07:29Excellent.
07:29Off you go, David.
07:3050 times six.
07:3250 by six, 300.
07:34Minus 100.
07:35200.
07:3675 over 25 is three.
07:38Yes.
07:38Subtract.
07:39A gentle four large there.
07:41And pass it over, I'm guessing.
07:43Yeah.
07:44Yep, yep.
07:45Well done.
07:46APPLAUSE
07:4722 points each.
07:50Let's get our first tea time teaser of the day.
07:55Bare hair.
07:57Susie will say it again.
07:59Bare hair.
08:01If you've got these, you might have a wild time.
08:04If you've got these, you might have a wild time.
08:05APPLAUSE
08:06Welcome back.
08:22I'm not saying it again.
08:23If you've got these, you might have a wild time.
08:26I couldn't say the tea time teaser.
08:28I also can't say the answer.
08:29And I'm not sure many people at home will know this word.
08:33Susie?
08:34Herbaria.
08:35Yeah.
08:35Yeah, so herbaria is the plural of herbarium.
08:39And that is a very organised collection of dried plants.
08:43There you go.
08:44Yeah.
08:44Thank you very much.
08:4522 points each.
08:48And Anna, what a wonderful start as a challenger.
08:51And you're off again.

10:00And for you, David?
10:01Six.
10:02And a six. What's the six, David?
10:03Towels.
10:04Now, what have you spotted, Anna?
10:06Slowest.
10:07Slowest?
10:08Very good.
10:09Fantastic. Well done.
10:11APPLAUSE
10:12Against a former quarter-finalist in 2001.
10:15What a battle today.
10:17Neil?
10:18There's a seven toe-less.
10:20Yeah, I didn't know.
10:21I wrote it down and thought, fingerless gloves.
10:23Yeah.
10:24I've never spotted a pair of toe-less socks.
10:27So, how do we use toe-less?
10:29Toe-less tights you can get.
10:30If you're wearing sandals or flip-flops, I suppose,
10:33I think you can wear toe-less tights.
10:35That's good for me to know. Thank you.
10:36Also, we found one, and I didn't...
10:38You know when someone's swole, you know?
10:40You work out a lot, clearly.
10:42You know?
10:43Someone's swole.
10:44Can you be swole-est?
10:45And we think you can.
10:46Yeah, strictly speaking, you can be, yes.
10:48Extremely muscular.
10:49Wow.
10:50OK.
10:51A word I'll never have to use.
10:53More letters, please.

11:59OK, sharing the spoils, David?
12:01Rooting.
12:02Yeah, and for you, Anna?
12:03Hooting.
12:04We're hooting and rooting here.
12:07Are you using the ING?
12:09Yes.
12:09Of course we are.
12:11It would be a shame to look a gift horse in the mouth.
12:13We only have seven still, rooting and rioting.
12:16Right, let's go numbers again.
12:18Anna, one large, no large, four large.
12:20We couldn't give a hoot.
12:22It's your choice.
12:23So can I have two big and four small, please?
12:25You can indeed.
12:26Two from the top and four little coming up.
12:29And this time we have five, eight, four, one,
12:3525 and 100.
12:37And the target, 808.
12:40808.
12:41Numbers up.
12:42So can we get to go.
13:00MUSIC PLAYS
13:12Anna? 808. Yes, and are you in an 808 state as well?
13:17Yes, 808. Excellent.
13:18You do not need a maths degree from Durham University to get this one,
13:22but Anna has it nonetheless. Off you go.
13:24So, 100 plus 1. 101.
13:28And times that by 8. Yeah, and that gets you 10%.
13:3010 points. And for you, excellent.
13:33In your face, 10 points each.
13:38Okay, over the dictionary corner for our daily chat
13:41with the brilliant Neil Delamere.
13:43Well, we were in the dentist yesterday.
13:45Yes. You were saying to me, we're going to the doctors now.
13:47We're going to the doctors today, yeah.
13:49Mainly because I said to you what we're going to talk about this week
13:51and you said anything scary, yes? Yes.
13:53So, I asked the guy, okay, I'll give you some preamble to this.
13:57I was talking about one of the scariest times I've ever had.
14:00I went for an operation a couple of years ago.
14:01Everything was fine.
14:02But I went, it was an ear, nose and throat specialist, right?
14:04And, which by the way, is too many words in the specialty.
14:08There's psychiatry, nephrology, there should be one word.
14:11Ear, nose and throat sounds like they've put the last three pages of the book together.
14:14And there's something about the rhythm of the three.
14:16He's like, oh, we're all doctors.
14:17I'm doctor, ear, nose and throat, John's, legs, bums and tums.
14:21So, I went into the doctor and he goes, don't worry, it's two holes there, two holes there
14:25and one hole there for the surgery, but it's laparoscopic.
14:28And I said, what does that mean?
14:29He goes, well, two holes there, two holes there, one hole there, but it's keyhole.
14:32And I was like, I've never had a front door that's needed five keyholes, though.
14:37This shouldn't be called keyhole surgery.
14:38This should be called tin whistle surgery.
14:40And he said, well, that's six holes.
14:41And I said, I was counting my navel, right?
14:42So, I went in and I don't know if you've ever had an operation, but they shave you.
14:48You're covered in iodine and you go nail by mouth.
14:50So, you wake up orange, hairless and starving.
14:53So, I was talking about this at a gig and I said to a guy in the front row, I said, what's the most scared you've ever been?
14:58And he said, I went out with a nurse and it did not go well.
15:02It was very acrimonious towards the end and we broke up.
15:06Like, eight, nine months later, he had to go in for a colonoscopy.
15:10And who was the nurse in the colonoscopy?
15:13His ex, who he had not treated well.
15:16And she wasn't meant to be there.
15:18It wasn't her shift.
15:20She was a vet nurse.
15:22There was no reason for her to be there.
15:24And he was just about to fall asleep and his ex was standing above him.
15:28As he fell asleep, it was her.
15:31That's brilliant.
15:31Thank you very much, mate.
15:32You're welcome.
15:35Well, back to the game.
15:36A close run affair, but it's Anne Seamayer who's going to slightly lead our challenger by seven points.
15:42So, David, some catching up today.
15:44Can I start with a consonant, please?
15:46Thank you, David.
15:47P.
15:48And another consonant.
15:49And here we go again.
16:46David.
16:47Eight.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Anna.
16:49Eight.
16:50Well done.
16:51David.
16:51Practice.
16:52Practice makes perfect.
16:54Yeah, practice as well.
16:56Well, I say practice makes perfect, but it's not a perfect nine.
16:59Did we spot any?
17:01Sadly, no.
17:02There's captures for ace, pirates for seven, which is quite nice.
17:06Yeah.
17:07But there's another ace?
17:08Yeah, you put the C in pirates and you get picrates, which are derivatives of picric acid used in explosives, but we didn't get the nine.
17:15So, hope that kills.
17:16Let's get back to it.
17:17More letters.
17:18Anna.
17:19That's a consonant, please.
17:20Thank you, Anna.
17:21And another consonant.
17:24And another consonant.
17:25N.
17:27A vowel.
17:28E.
17:29And a vowel.
17:31A.
17:33A consonant.
17:34T.
17:36Another consonant.
17:37D.
17:38A vowel.
17:41U.
17:43And another vowel.
17:46E.
17:47And a consonant, please.
17:49Lastly, S.
17:50And let's play.

18:10Anna?
18:24Seven.
18:24And for you, David?
18:26Eight.
18:26And eight, a much-needed eight here.
18:28Anna?
18:29Extends.
18:30OK, this word's probably connected to what you're trying to do to David.
18:34Unseated.
18:35Unseated is there.
18:36Well done to you, which might keep you in that seat.
18:39You're back in the lead.
18:40By one point.
18:41So back-to-back eights from our champion season take a slight lead.
18:46Last time I had hopes of a nine.
18:49No chance were the extras left over this time.
18:51Yeah, there is a lovely eight there.
18:54Exudate.
18:54Well, I'm not sure.
18:56Lovely, actually, because exudate are substances that seep out of blood vessels
19:01or an organ when they're inflamed.
19:03So cells and fluid, et cetera.
19:05Right, one point then.
19:06Third numbers round.
19:08David?
19:08Could I have six small, please?
19:11Six small.
19:12You've tried four large.
19:13That was a bit on the easy side.
19:14You want something more challenging, I'm sure.
19:17Let's see.
19:18Six little ones this time.
19:19One, three, one.
19:21That's going to make it a challenge.
19:22Ten, eight, and six.
19:25And the target, 318.
19:27Three, one, eight.
19:28Numbers up.
19:29Three, one, eight.
19:30Numbers up.
19:31Three, one, eight.
19:513-1-8, the target, David.
20:013-1-8.
20:02And for you, Anna?
20:043-11.
20:04Oh, the six small. Looks like it might have worked out, David.
20:078 times 10.
20:098 times 10 is 80.
20:11Plus 1.
20:1281.
20:133 plus 1 is 4.
20:15Yes.
20:16Multiply.
20:18324.
20:18I'll subtract 6.
20:20And you've left the 6 over. Well done.
20:213-1-8.
20:24That's the turnaround with just 11 points in it with six rounds left.
20:28Here's your second and final tea time teaser of the afternoon.

20:32Fell Rook.
20:34It's not connected to apples, just your granny's myth.
20:37It's not connected to apples, just your granny's myth.
20:41MUSIC
20:41Hello again.
20:58Clever tea time teaser.
20:59It's not connected to apples, just your granny's smiths, but it's granny's myth folklore.
21:04Folklore.
21:04Folklore.
21:05Folklore.
21:05Loads of that about in Halloween week.
21:07Well, Anna will go down in family folklore if she can turn this around and become our new champion.
21:13It's really close.
21:1411 points in it.
21:15Six rounds to go.
21:16And Anna, you're choosing.

22:38There is an eight there.
22:40Carillon.
22:41Susie.
22:42It's a set of bells and you play them by an automatic mechanism similar to a piano roll.
22:49Yeah.
22:49Yeah, it can make up to 23 bells, so.
22:51Still difficult to understand as we get more letters from David.

23:41Bye-bye.
23:42Bye-bye.
23:56Bye-bye.
23:58David? Seven. And for you, Anna? Seven.
24:03A seven as well. David? Baiting.
24:05And for you, Anna? Waiting.
24:08We're waiting, we're baiting, we're in Dictionary Corner.
24:11Yeah, but I thought we'd give you a seven.
24:13We can't beat seven, but it's Halloween, so batwing.
24:16Yes. Is it in there? It is, yeah.
24:18Have you ever... Did you ever in your childhood wear batwing sleeves?
24:23No, cos I didn't grow up in the 18th century.
24:25No. I had jumpers with batwing sleeves.
24:29Thank you very much.
24:30Yeah, there's ones with really deep armholes. Yes.
24:33Tight around here.
24:34Right, let's stay in Dictionary Corner cos it's Origins of Words.
24:38Yeah, well, David Hoyle has been in touch
24:40and David has lived in Doncaster for more than 30 years
24:44and he says,
24:45The name of one area of the city has always intrigued me.
24:49Hexthorpe.
24:50He says, I believe Hexer is German for witch
24:52and Thorpe is Norse for village.
24:54Am I right? Is this the witch's village?
24:57So, if you go all the way back to the Doomsday Book,
25:00which is where you will find the first freckles,
25:03this is the 11th century.
25:04It is spelt slightly differently.
25:06It is Hesthorpe.
25:08And then, as you go through the centuries,
25:10you find lots and lots of different spellings.
25:11Haythorpe, Exthorpe, Exterop, Hegthorpe,
25:17lots and lots of different ones, which is quite common, actually,
25:19cos place names are often very fluid until they sort of settled,
25:22only a few centuries ago.
25:25The disappointing thing, I think, probably for David,
25:27is that it probably began as Hegsthorpe, Heg's village,
25:32or Heg's outline, farmstead.
25:34And very often you will find personal names behind the settlement.
25:39You quite enjoyed Snottingham, which was Snot's Hamlet...
25:42Yeah. ..which became Nottingham.
25:44..and you will find them in lots of places.
25:46And this was part of the Danelaw,
25:48so this was the Viking stronghold in the north and east of Britain.
25:52And Heg probably was a Viking settler or plunderer
25:56who settled there.
25:59But it's not...
26:00So it doesn't seem to be related to Hex,
26:02but I will give you quickly the story of that.
26:04So that is a borrowing from Pennsylvania and Dutch,
26:07and it is indeed related to the German Hexer, witch.
26:10And Hexer is a relative of our English word hag,
26:14which meant...
26:15..was used horribly for what would be an ugly old woman,
26:18but also for a witch or a sorceress.
26:21And they've long had really negative connotations in English,
26:25but it wasn't always that way,
26:26because some theories about their origin
26:28are much more positive, actually,
26:30because the hager, Hexer element
26:33may come from a meaning able or skilled,
26:36or there's also a theory that it's related to hawthorn and hay and hedge,
26:41so that there was a link between using plants in spells and sorcery.
26:46So it kind of began simply enough,
26:48but then took a turn for the worse.
26:51And to Hex someone is first recorded in English in the 19th century,
26:54so pretty late on.
26:56Fantastic.
26:59I'm loving our Halloween origins of words,
27:01or as we should be calling them this week,
27:03Horigins of words.
27:04Ah, very good.
27:05I will be from now on.
27:06Right, let's get back to the game.
