00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34On the very day that 20 years ago, Princess of Wales, Diana, was so tragically killed in Paris.
00:41And of course she's remembered 20 years on for that extraordinary style she had and the way that she connected with the public as well.
00:48And in fact, I understand that down in Kensington Palace, there's a big exhibition now.
00:54It's called Diana, Her Fashion Story. And I guess we all remember where we were when we first heard that news 20 years ago.
01:02I know where I was. I was in bed, actually. And the phone rang.
01:05And a friend of mine who knew Diana very well rang up and said, have you heard the news?
01:11And I said, what news? He said, Diana's been killed in Paris. That's terrible.
01:15He said, we must go to the palace. He said, can you come round? I want to go up to the palace and I've got some flowers, some gardenias.
01:25So I said, sure. So I went round and he threw the keys of his huge Bentley at me and got in the back with these gardenias on his lap.
01:35And off we went to the palace. Of course, the world was at the palace. It's extraordinary.
01:40So he said, keep driving. I said, but haven't we parked? He said, no, no, don't worry about all that.
01:46Keep driving. There are the gates ahead of us. So I kept driving at these huge gates thinking, what am I doing?
01:54And they opened. It's extraordinary. And I drove down the drive. There's a police box at the end.
02:00There's a big policeman standing there. He said, what can I do? He tapped on the window.
02:03I pointed to the chap in the back. I said, you better deal with him.
02:07And he, the window went down. He said, we've come to see Paul Burrell, who was her butler.
02:14And the policeman said, he's gone to Paris. Give me the flowers.
02:18So he handed the flowers down to the window and the window closed.
02:21I've now got to make a three point turn in front of four billion people.
02:28Never had driven a Bentley before, which I did rather well, actually.
02:32There we are. What are your favourite memories of the Princess of Wales?
02:37Well, like you say, everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news.
02:40I was 11 on holiday in Kenya and I remember the staff were going round at breakfast and telling table by table of Brits.
02:46And you could just see them telling the news and then the reaction from the Brits.
02:50But she's left an amazing legacy, hasn't she?
02:52The work she did with HIV and AIDS and landmines.
02:55And I think her boys are a credit to her.
02:58Absolutely. And they have grown up fantastically, haven't they?
03:02I think they're extraordinary.
03:04Now, David.
03:06Yes.
03:06Welcome back.
03:07Thanks.
03:08Big win yesterday, 101 points.
03:09Yep.
03:10Fantastic. How are you feeling?
03:11Okay. Doing better than I thought I would.
03:13Well, you're joined by Nicky Saarsteiner, a barrister from Dublin.
03:18Welcome, Nicky.
03:19Thanks, Nick.
03:20A karaoke singer and a dancer, too.
03:22That makes it sound like it's a profession, but...
03:25No, we know where you are during the daytime.
03:28You've got your wig on and you're pleading for somebody in the court.
03:31But in the evening, you're raving it up in a karaoke bar. Is that right?
03:34That's a pretty accurate description, yeah.
03:36Excellent stuff.
03:37Well, good luck to you both.
03:38Thank you very much.
03:38Good luck to Nicky.
03:39Good luck to David.

08:14Rachel, can you help?
08:15Yes, a couple of ways.
08:16If you say 75 plus three plus two plus eight is 88.
08:22Times that by eight for 704.

08:58Welcome back.

13:15Nicky?
13:16Eight times seven is 56.
13:18Yep.
13:19Minus the three is 53.
13:2153.
13:21Times the ten.
13:22Times ten.
13:23Nine minus two is seven.
13:25And take that away.
13:26Very well done.
13:28523.
13:29And David.
13:30There we go.
13:31All right.
13:36So still a little in it, 43 to 31,
13:39as we turn to Mark.
13:42More sports stories, I guess.
13:43What have you got for us today?
13:44I wanted to talk about timing
13:47and the fact that all of us in our industry,
13:50we have to learn to talk to time.
13:52We have to learn to deal with the fact
13:53that people are talking in our ear all the time as well.
13:56And that's non-negotiable, isn't it?
13:58You've got to go to an ad break.
13:59You've got to go to the end of the program.
14:00You can't go beyond it just because you're in the middle of a good story.
14:02And people often say to me,
14:03well, how do you learn to do that
14:05and to filter out the voices you need to listen to?
14:08And I think the answer to that is just come from a big family,
14:10really is the answer, isn't it?
14:11Because people, especially when you're the youngest like I am,
14:13people talking at you all the time.
14:15And now I've got teenagers.
14:16You learn to listen to the voice,
14:18which is the most insistent at any particular moment.
14:20But when I started in my business,
14:22we had to, on the radio, talk up to the pips.
14:25Everyone knows the pips on the radio, the news.
14:27Again, non-negotiable.
14:28You couldn't crash that because the pips came in,
14:30the news started.
14:32And so we used to leave ourselves five or six seconds
14:34at the end of the bulletin,
14:35and you'd just repeat the headlines.
14:37Or if you had 20 seconds to go to the pips,
14:39that was quite good practice.
14:41You'd repeat the headlines.
14:42You'd talk about what was happening tomorrow.
14:43You might say something about the weather.
14:45Any old waffle, but good practice.
14:48And when we started, we were taught the story
14:50of the broadcaster who had forgotten to repeat
14:53the football scores at the end of the sports bulletin.
14:56Now, in today's world, that wouldn't matter.
14:57People don't tune in for the football scores anymore.
14:59Everyone's got a phone, a tablet.
15:00You can get the score of a drop of a hat, easily.
15:03Websites, clubs, all that sort of malarkey.
15:07But we were taught the story of this broadcaster
15:08who realised with about seven seconds to go
15:10that he hadn't repeated that night's football scores,
15:13and this was really critical
15:14because people would tune in for them.
15:17So he suddenly realised to his terror what was happening
15:19and very hurriedly and very anxiously said,
15:23and just before we go, to repeat tonight's football scores,
15:271-0, 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, 3-2.
15:30Which, of course, we have to follow by saying,
15:34Rachel, sorry to hear Manchester United lost at home again
15:36in those scores.
15:38Not in those days.
15:39So a good lesson in timing and always leave yourself
15:47more than you think you need at the end.
15:49As you say, the pips are the pips.
15:53Non-negotiable pips.
15:54Lovely.
15:54Thank you so much, Mark.
15:5643-31.
15:57David on 43.
15:59David's back.

17:09Nicky? Bedroom.
17:11Hmm. OK, just check broom as a verb.
17:15Um, it isn't there, I'm afraid, David, just there as a noun, or the adjective new-broomed, but not a broom as a verb. I'm really sorry.
17:25Bad luck. Bad luck. Bedroom's there.
17:27Bedroom is.
17:28Certainly there. All right. Nicky's have crept up there. 38 now to 43. But in the corner, have you managed to conjure out of that collection of words?
17:38Dorman is in there. And boredom.
17:42Thank you. All right.
17:43So, Nicky.
17:45Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
17:48Thank you, Nicky.

19:02Can we get beyond that five, I wonder? Yes, we can get to a six. Flamey. Yeah, flamey, which is sort of internet trolling, isn't it, almost?
19:12It is, yeah. It's related to flaming in computing terms, which is to direct an abusive message at someone on the internet, and you can spell flamey with an E, so that will give you a six.
19:22Thank you. And the girls? No, that was our best. Flamey. To be avoided, I guess. 48, page 43, just five in it. And David, we're with you for the next numbers game.

24:09Nikki?
24:09Six as well.
24:10David?
24:11Ploughed.
24:12And?
24:12Sleeps.
24:14Any advance on six?
24:16Well, a seven that you think probably shouldn't be.
24:19Yeah.
24:19But speedos.
24:21How is that possible?
24:22Speedometers, essentially.
24:24Oh, I see.
24:25I just come back.
24:26David, did you say ploughed with a W?
24:28Yeah.
24:28That's the US spelling, I'm afraid.
24:30So I have to disallow that.
24:32It has to be the UGH.
24:33Sorry.
24:34Oh, that's bad luck.
24:34Yeah.
24:3565 to 56, and it's Susie we've turned to for her origins of words.
24:41Yes, Susie.
24:42Well, I had a nice email from Rachel Davis, who asked, well, she'd been reading an old novel,
24:48and she said she came across the use of derbies for handcuffs, and she said, where on earth
24:53does that come from?
24:55The answer is it's pretty old.
24:56It's over 300 years old.
24:58And the term is a development of an earlier phrase, which is a slightly curious one on
25:02the face of it, and that's Father Darby's bans.
25:05And that referred to an incredibly rigid straitjacket of a loan, really, that somebody would take
25:11out and would be bound firmly in the power of the money lender, not perhaps unlike some
25:16of those loans today, payday loans today.
25:18Many lenders at the time were pretty unscrupulous, would often result to pretty violent means
25:23to get their money back.
25:24So essentially, if you were carrying Father Darby's bans, you were pretty much handcuffed
25:30to the money lender with very little room for manoeuvre.
25:34But the question, of course, is who on earth was Father Darby?
25:38And it's really frustrating because history doesn't quite give us the answer.
25:41But it's been suggested that it goes back to one particularly unscrupulous money monger
25:46who lived in the 16th century.
25:49And if you, I don't quite know why Father, perhaps that was a sort of mocking nickname for
25:52him, but you certainly did not want to be within his power.
25:56But whatever the origin, Darby's then settled in the lexicon as a criminal underworld.
26:01And Darby's and Jones were fetters, which were linking a pair of criminals.
26:05So you would be possibly handcuffed to somebody else in jail.
26:09And a Darby roll was a type of walking that betrayed a former prisoner that had been kept
26:15in shackles because they had a slightly rolling gait because obviously they'd been kept up
26:20fettered for so long.
26:22But I mentioned Darby and Joan, and that's actually got a lovely history as well.
26:25We use it today, Darby and Joan is a devoted old married couple, really.
26:29And it goes back to 1735 and a poem in the Gentleman's Magazine, which contains an anonymous
26:35poem, and it contained the lines, Old Darby, with Joan by his side, he's droptical, she's
26:41sore-eyed, yet they're never happy asunder.
26:44Which I think is quite pretty.
26:46Nothing to do with handcuffs in that one.
26:47No quite.
26:48Very good.
26:4865 to 56, David on 65 now.

28:25The ruttiest road in the county.
28:26Yeah.
28:27And Susie, anything else?
28:28Yeah, no, that was our best.
28:29We were the nuttiest otherwise.
28:30Well done.
28:31Well done, Nicky, too, because you're only a point behind.

31:31Yes, it was there.
31:32If you say 100 plus 75 minus 10 is 165.
31:38And then 50 divided by 25 is 2.
31:42Add that on for 167 and times it by 4.
31:45Well done.
31:46Well done.
31:48Brilliant.
31:51Well done indeed.
31:53Well done to you, Nicky.
31:54You've leapt ahead 76 to 70 as we go into the final round,
31:59of course, which is tricky because it's a crucial countdown conundrum.
32:03So, good luck to you both.
32:04Good luck to you both.
32:05Two great players.
32:07Let's roll today's crucial countdown conundrum.
32:10Like, let's do this with you both.
32:18Cheers.
32:19Wow.
32:43You carried it off.
32:46You carried it off.
32:47Let's roll it and see what it was.

32:53I was sort of sad you didn't do that.
32:58Well done.
32:59I'll come to you in a minute.
33:01Oh, David, you played so well, so well.
33:04And, you know, three great wins.

33:09Yeah.
33:09And it paid off.
33:11So thank you very much for coming.
33:12It's been a pleasure having you here, David.
33:14Take this goodie bag and your teapot.
33:16Yes.
33:16Take it.
33:17Carry it carefully.

33:26Thank you very much for coming.
33:28Thanks for having me.
33:29Nicky Sarsteiner, look at you, trailing.
33:32And you took a risk and it paid off.
33:34Is that the barrister's training, is it?
33:36Is this the final speech for the defence?
33:39I don't know.
33:40I think it was just throwing caution to the wind.
33:44Well, it worked.
33:45Well done.
33:46We'll see you tomorrow.
33:47So, see you tomorrow, Mark.
33:49See you tomorrow.
33:49All right.
33:50Susie, see you tomorrow.
33:51See you then, Nick.
33:51And Rachel too, of course.
33:52Yeah, I was watching, I think it's Nicky's boyfriend in the audience, like he was watching a fight for that crucial conundrum.
33:57No knockout flow, but she won very well on points, so well done.
34:00Absolutely.
34:01We'll see you tomorrow.
34:01See you tomorrow.
34:01All right.
