00:00Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:20On the very day that way back in 1867, the Nobel Prize winner for literature, John Galsworthy, was born.
00:28He won the Nobel Prize, actually, for literature in 1932, you'd be interested to know.
00:32And what surprised me was that the Nobel Prize, the first Nobel Prize in literature, was awarded in 1901.
00:39I thought it was much later, but I was wrong.
00:42And John Galsworthy carried it off in 1932.
00:45He married his cousin's wife and died at the age of 65.
00:49But just after, I guess, having finished the Foresight Saga, a series of novels about a family,
00:56and, of course, it turned into an absolute blockbuster of a TV series.
01:01Anyway, there we are.
01:02Now, which books have turned into TV programmes that you've particularly enjoyed?
01:08Well, this year, did you see Big Little Lies?
01:11No.
01:11Oh, I thought it was brilliant.
01:13It was a seven-parter and I didn't realise it was a miniseries, so it just suddenly finished and I was distraught.
01:18But that was really good. Very dark.
01:19And that came out of a book of some sort?
01:21Yeah, it did. I didn't realise.
01:22I think it's one of those ones where I might go back and have a look at the book.
01:25Excellent stuff.
01:25All right, who's here?
01:28Sarah. Sarah Caperoad is here from Stirling, a consulting engineer.
01:33Big win on Friday.
01:35Yeah.
01:35You did very well. Did you enjoy it?
01:36I had a great time, yes. Thank you.
01:38Excellent stuff. Well done.
01:40Sarah, you're joined by Randy DeCruz, a plater and welder from Leeds,
01:44who used to be a semi-prone musician.
01:46Loves to play his guitar to all types of music.
01:49Welcome. Are you a big Countdown fan?
01:50Absolutely.
01:51When did you start watching?
01:531982.
01:53When it first started?
01:55Yeah.
01:55You were a pioneer.
01:57Pioneer, yeah.
01:58An early adopter, as we call you.
02:00All right. Brilliant.
02:01That's the next, yeah.
02:01Well, listen, I hope you have a great day today.
02:05Enjoy it.
02:06Thank you, Nick.
02:07Enjoy it.
02:07And good luck to you both.
02:08Let's have a big round of applause for Randy and Sarah.
02:14And over in the corner, of course, we've got Susie Denton.
02:17For the last time, until she comes back, the wonderful Helen Fospero.
02:22Welcome back.
02:23It's always a pleasure.
02:27Always a pleasure to have you here.
02:28Am I coming back again or not?
02:30You are coming back.
02:30We'll have a formal invitation next time.
02:32Yes.
02:32Yes, there's a contract waiting just outside.
02:34Yeah.
02:34Excellent.
02:35We've already signed it.
02:36Oh, really?
02:36It's down to you to sign it.
02:37Oh, OK.
02:38We'll do that at the end of the show.
02:39It's unpaid, of course.
02:40Now, let's get down to business here.
02:42What about Sarah?
02:43Let's have a letters game, shall we?
02:46Hi, Rachel.
02:46Hi, Sarah.
02:47Can I start with a consonant, please?
02:49Start the week with D.
02:51And another, please.
02:54S.
02:55And a vowel.
02:57E.
02:58And a consonant.
03:01V.
03:02And another.
03:04R.
03:05And a vowel.
03:08I.
03:09And another.
03:11E.
03:13And a consonant.
03:15T.
03:16And a consonant, please.
03:19And lastly, P.
03:21And here is the countdown clock.
03:23The countdown clock.
03:29Sarah?
03:56Just a six.
03:56A six. Randy?
03:58A seven.
04:00And a seven. Sarah?
04:02Served.
04:03Randy?
04:04Strived.
04:05Absolutely fine, yes. I always have to check the past tense. It can be strove or strived.
04:09Both, absolutely fine.
04:11Very good. And which would you have picked?
04:13What would I have picked?
04:14Stroved.
04:15I would have picked priested.
04:17Priested?
04:18Which has eight.
04:19Heron's priest. There's a lovely Dylan Thomas poem about priesting herons.
04:25Formally it means it's ordained to the priesthood.
04:28Okay.
04:30Seven points to Randy and Randy's letters came now.
04:34Yes, Randy.
04:35Hi Rachel.
04:36Hi Randy.
04:37Consonant please.
04:39Start with N.
04:40And another one.
04:41L.
04:42And a third.
04:44T.
04:45And a vowel.
04:46U.
04:47A second.
04:48A.
04:49And a third.
04:50O.
04:51Consonant.
04:52H.
04:53Vowel.
04:54I.
04:55And a consonant.
04:56And the last one.
04:57S.
04:58Standby.
04:59B.
05:00F.
05:01Vowel.
05:02I.
05:03And a consonant.
05:04And the last one.
05:05S.
05:06Standby.
05:37Randy. Seven. And Sarah? Six. And that's six? Insult. Now, Randy. I'm going to try outlayed. O-U-T-E-L-A-I-N.
05:50Mm-hmm. Oh, it's not there, unfortunately. Outlayed would have been there. I'm very sorry, Randy.
05:58OK. Bad luck. What can we have, I wonder? Helen, Susie?
06:03We found an interesting seven-letter word, Lutinos. Which is? Yes. Made on the pattern of albinos.
06:12They are birds such as parrots, et cetera, that have more yellow in their plumage than usual.
06:18The Latin for yellow is luteus. Especially caged birds of the parrot family are Lutinos.
06:22Very good. Sorry, I didn't mean to make that odd noise.
06:33But there we are. I couldn't help it. And now, Sarah, it's your numbers game.
06:38Could I have two large and four small, please?
06:41You can indeed. Thank you, Sarah. Two from the top row.
06:43Four little for the first one of the week. And this selection is four, nine, five, one, 25, and 75.
06:54And the target, 465.
06:58Four, six, five.
06:59Four, six, five.
07:06Four, six, five.
07:21Four, six, five.
07:22Sarah.
07:31Four, six, six.
07:32One away. Randy?
07:34I've gone wrong.
07:36Let's stick with Sarah. Now then, Sarah.
07:39I did five plus one is six.
07:42Yep.
07:42Times 75.
07:44450.
07:45And 25 minus nine is 16 and added on.
07:49Yep, one away.
07:50Very good. Not quite perfect, though.
07:53Four, six, five.
07:54Rachel, tricky?
07:55A couple of ways.
07:57You could have said 75 plus 25 is 100.
08:02Times five, 500.
08:05And then nine times four, 36 minus one, 35.
08:09And take it away.
08:10Very good.
08:12Well done, Rachel.
08:15So the score's standing.
08:16Sarah on 13 and Randy on seven.
08:19We turn to our first tea time teaser,
08:20which is late slice.
08:23And the clue,
08:24if you want to get this,
08:26then reach for the sky.
08:27If you want to get this,
08:28then reach for the sky.
08:30Welcome back.
08:48I left with the clue.
08:49If you want to get this,
08:50then reach for the sky.
08:51And the answer to that is celestial.
08:55Celestial.
08:5713 plays seven.
08:59And Randy, it's your letters game now.
09:02Time to catch up.
09:03Right.

10:15There we go.
10:16Menial.
10:16Absolutely fine.
10:17Any advances on six?
10:19I didn't do very well, so I'll leave it to you.
10:22There is an eight there, Nick.
10:23A liniment.
10:25A liniment being a liquid or ointment that you rub on the body to relieve pain.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Yeah.
10:32Liniment.
10:32Very good.
10:3619 plays.
10:3719 plays a 13.
10:39Sarah, it's your letters game now.
10:41Could I have a consonant, please?
10:43Thank you, Sarah.
10:44F.

11:49Yes, Sarah?
11:50Paws.
11:51And Randy?
11:52Paws.
11:53Same?
11:54Paws.
11:54All right.
11:56Now then, in the corner, Helen Smiley, what have you got?
12:00I'm in the naughty corner.
12:01We got paws as well, but also you could have had peas, as in peas pudding, which is five
12:06to, but struggled to get anything bigger, didn't we?
12:08Yeah.
12:09Nothing much there.
12:11What is peas pudding, anyway?
12:12Peas pudding is split beans that are boiled to a pulp, so it's a savoury pudding.
12:18Doesn't sound very appetising, but...
12:20No, I'm not desperate for one.
12:22All right.
12:2424 plays 18.
12:25And Randy, it's your numbers game.
12:28Good luck.
12:29Can I have one large and five small, please?
12:32You can indeed.
12:33Thank you, Randy.
12:33One large.
12:34Five little coming up.
12:35And this time, they are three, four, one, eight, seven, and the large one, 50.
12:44And the target, 371.
12:47Three, seven, one.
12:48Two, one, two, three, four, one.
13:13Randy.
13:20Yeah, I've gone wrong again.
13:22How about Sarah?
13:233-7-1.
13:243-7-1?
13:24Well done.
13:25And?
13:2750 plus 3.
13:2853 times 7.
13:30That's it.
13:30Yep.
13:31That's well done.
13:32Well done indeed.
13:35OK, so 34 plays 18.
13:38Randy on 18.
13:40And Helen, Little Bird tells me you've become quite at home in a steel cap, boots and a helmet and some high-vis jackets.
13:48What's going on?
13:49I've been rocking safety goggles and fire-retardant suits and hard hats because I got involved in a new project called Working Eye.
13:57And I've been making or helping to make what I hope will become a library of careers films that will go in senior schools up and down the country.
14:07And the idea behind them is to show children like my daughter, who's 13, give them an idea of what subjects they should choose at GCSE and A-level and also just explain, you know, what people do for a living and a warts and all look at what the actual job involves.
14:22And the man who dreamt this idea up was inspired, I think Sarah will like this, was inspired by Professor Brian Cox, who a couple of years ago said the reason this country is short of engineers is because we don't really know what an engineer does.
14:36So the first few films we've made have been in the engineering field, hence the hard hats and the high-vis jackets.
14:43We've been working in the steelworks industry, aviation, watching those big North Sea wind farm blades being made, which are 75 metres long, interviewing mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, lots of them, I'm pleased to say women, who have taken STEM subjects and realised that engineering is a great career.
15:00But the idea is that hopefully by the end of next year, this library will be in all senior schools and you can go and pull out a film and see what a doctor does or a nurse or, you know, whatever subject you fancy really.
15:12Having a teenage daughter as well makes me realise how little there is, you know, out there really about careers and what people do.
15:19So, you know, it's been an interesting project.
15:21I think so many youngsters just leave school, no idea really what they're going to do and then they get into this sort of, you know, they're not moored to any sort of industry or sector at all.
15:31It also looks at apprenticeships as well and I think they're coming back.
15:34I mean, I was an apprentice journalist, I didn't go to university.
15:36I think a lot of industry now are looking at apprenticeships as well.
15:39We're at an aviation company and they're not now taking graduates anymore, they will only take apprentices and if they feel a degree is needed, they'll send them to university.
15:48Yeah.
15:49You know, they're being trained on the job.
15:51There we go.
15:52Anyway, well done.
15:55Very good, Helen.
15:57Good work, as we say.
15:5934, please.
16:0018.
16:00And we turn to Sarah for letters again, yes?
16:03Could I have a consonant, please?
16:05Thank you, Sarah.
16:06L.
16:07And another.
16:09W.
16:10And a vowel.
16:12I.
16:13And a consonant.
16:15R.
16:16And another.
16:18X.
16:20And a vowel.
16:21O.
16:23And another.
16:25I.
16:26And a consonant.
16:30R.
16:31And finish with a consonant, please.
16:34And finish with...
16:36C.
16:38Stand by.
16:39To be continued...
16:55To be continued...
17:03To be continued...
17:08Sarah.
17:11Just a four.
17:13A four. Randy.
17:14Four. Two fours.
17:16Sarah.
17:17Coyle.
17:18And Randy.
17:19Oric.
17:21Oric.
17:21O-R-I-C.
17:23Not there, Randy, I'm afraid.
17:26Orc is there.
17:27We're thinking about Tolkien, but no, Oric.
17:29Sorry.
17:31Coyle is there.
17:32Coyle is certainly there.
17:33Anything above four?
17:35We have. We've got Crowl.
17:37C-R-O-W-L.
17:40Is that where you catch a crab in?
17:42No, it's a Scottish and Northern English term for the smallest and weakest animal or bird in a litter or brood.
17:48Oh, like a runt?
17:49Yes, like the runt.
17:51So, Sarah on 38, Randy on 18.
17:53And Randy, let us time for you.
17:55Can I have a consonant, please?
17:56Thank you, Randy.
17:58R.
17:58And another one.

18:56Err, seven.
18:59Sarah?
19:00A risky eight.
19:02Right, Randy.
19:04Err, gleamer.
19:08And Sarah?
19:09I've just realised I've used the A twice, amortage, but there's not two As.
19:13That's a withdrawal.
19:15What about Randy's word?
19:17No, I'm afraid that was the first word I looked up, and gleamer is there, but not gleamer,
19:21so Randy's not having much luck today, I'm afraid.
19:23Oh, dear.
19:24A gleamer.
19:25Well, there were a few sixes, Regale and Morale, but there was an eight, which I think Rachel's got.
19:33Telegram.
19:34Telegram, yeah.
19:35Telegram, indeed.
19:36All right.
19:37So hurrying on, Sarah on 38, Randy on 18, and it's Sarah's numbers game now.
19:45Sarah?
19:46Could I have one large and five small, please?
19:49Thank you, Sarah.
19:50One big five that are coming up.
19:52And for this round, the five small ones are six, nine, four, seven, and one.
20:00And the big one, 100.
20:02And the target, 730.
20:05Seven, three, zero.

20:47Yep.
20:48Minus the 6.
20:4930.
20:50And then 7 times 100.
20:52Lovely.
20:537.30. Well done.
20:56And Randy.
20:57Add 100 plus 4.
20:59104.
21:01Times 7.
21:02728.
21:04And 9 minus 6 is 3.
21:06Yep.
21:063 minus 1 is 2.
21:08Marvellous.
21:107.30.
21:10Smashing. Well done.
21:14Well done.
21:15So 48 plays 28.

21:48A warm welcome back.
21:49I left you with a clue.
21:49Is it what you do when you tell more than one fib?

24:38Just a six.
24:39A six. Randy?
24:40I'll have to try a nine, won't I?
24:43Why not? Great man. Sarah?
24:45A baton.
24:47Now then, Randy.
24:48A combatant.
24:50Combatant. Are you spelling it with an E?
24:54C-O-M-B-A-T-E-N-T.
24:56Yeah, it's A-N-T, unfortunately.
24:59That is bad luck.
25:01Sorry.
25:02Very bad luck.
25:03Yeah.
25:03Brave try.
25:04Brave try.
25:05Fighting try, in fact.
25:06All right, six to six to 28, but in the corner, your nine.
25:11Yes, my nine is, I'm still looking for that.
25:14Seven boatmen.
25:15Yep, why not?
25:17And Susie, anything else?
25:19Boatmen in a canoe.
25:20Perhaps.
25:21But, yeah, that was our best for seven.
25:22Well done.
25:24So, Susie, what have you for us today in your origins of words slot?
25:30Well, I've talked before about a few words that have passed over into English from cartoons,
25:37so they were used in very specific senses in cartoons and then crept into mainstream language.
25:42So I thought I'd do a few more today.
25:44I've mentioned Shazam, which was Captain Marvel's famous magic word in Wiz Comics, and Jeep as well.
25:53Jeep obviously stands for GP, general purpose for the vehicles, but was definitely influenced by Eugene the Jeep.
25:58And then there's Malarkey as well, usually taken to be an alteration, if you like, of an Irish surname, but also goes back probably to an American cartoonist who used that surname as a byword for nonsense.
26:13I don't know if it was anti-Irish or not, but certainly, again, that's probably how it crept into the language.
26:17But I was going to concentrate on a couple.
26:20One is a goon, and it's thought to originally derive from an old English dialect word, goony, and that was used by sailors to describe really cumbersome-looking, quite weighty seabirds like albatrosses and pelicans.
26:36A bit like boobies, actually.
26:37Boobies were very heavy seabirds that were very, very easy to catch, and so the booby prize comes from there.
26:45It's just something that was very easy to gain and so not particularly valuable.
26:49In the same way, goon came to be used for a dull-looking or a slow-witted person.
26:55But the Popeye cartoonist, E.C. Seaguar, created the character of Alice the Goon in his cartoon strip and portrayed her as somebody, I think she was a giant, she was about eight feet.
27:07And so, again, that kind of crept into the language as a hired heavy or a thug, somebody who was just very big but not particularly sharp.
27:13And finally, possibly my favourite, Zilch.
27:17We use Zilch to mean zero or nothing.
27:21But when it was first used, it was a nickname for a useless or hopeless character or non-entity.
27:26And that was because of a cartoon strip that appeared in the Ballyhoo American humour magazine in the 1930s.
27:33And it featured a hapless businessman who you never actually saw, but he was called President Henry Zilch.
27:40So President Zilch, I think, could come in useful at some point.
27:43But again, that goes back to the cartoon.
27:46Well done.
27:47Very good.
27:52Lovely.
27:5472 to 28.
27:56Randy, your letters go.
27:58Can I have a consonant, please?
28:00Thank you, Randy.

30:35Um.
30:37Oh, you can't up-file, Randy.
30:39At least not in the dictionary yet, I'm afraid.
30:41Sorry.
30:42What can we have, I wonder?
30:44Well, we could have had up-field, so nearly there, Randy.
30:48And also hopeful for seven.
30:51Hopeful.
