13:20Well done.
13:26Gives you a 10 point lead now.
13:2720 to Terry's 30.
13:29As we turn to Mark.
13:31And Mark, you talked the other day about AP McCoy.
13:35We talked about the jockeys.
13:37So you go racing occasionally.
13:38Yes.
13:39I grew up in a racing household.
13:41Grew up with a mother who prefers horses to humans, really, if I'm going to be honest.
13:45She said they're a little easier to understand.
13:46And grew up with a local vicar.
13:49This is in the countryside, who used to give racing tips in his sermons.
13:54Right.
13:55I always remember.
13:55He was called Eric.
13:56He used to talk out the side of his mouth.
13:57And my dad told me this when I was little.
13:59I said, come on, Dad.
13:59This is just, you know, listen.
14:01Just before Christmas.
14:02So on Boxing Day was the King George VI, a really big race.
14:05So Christmas, we go to church.
14:07He said, you listen out.
14:08There'll be a tip in the middle of his sermon.
14:10So he said, it was the middle of his sermon.
14:12He went, you know, Jesus wandered through the desert.
14:15Orchids grew everywhere.
14:16You know, with that, my dad looked at me and went, there you go.
14:19Desert orchid.
14:19This is what he means.
14:21There was a big queue outside the bedding shop on a Monday morning.
14:24Hey, presto.
14:24He goes and wins.
14:26And it struck me that, I mean, working in the field that I do,
14:29that those who commentate on racing,
14:31they are the greatest exponents of the art in my industry, without any doubt.
14:36There are so many different races every day.
14:38So many different colors.
14:39So many different horses.
14:40Yeah.
14:41Sometimes the same owner has five or six horses in the same race.
14:44The only distinguishing factor, then, is the color of the cap.
14:47And particularly in flat racing, when they're coming at you from seven furlongs in a cavalry charge,
14:52the way they can distinguish between each is simply genius.
14:56And that's before you get to the owners.
14:58And their rather peculiar sense of humor that a lot of them have with the names of their horses.
15:03And these are all proper bona fide horses who've run around the world.
15:07And so, therefore, they have to be passed by the various authorities that they're allowed to call them these.
15:13So you'll have to, you know, just think about these a few yourself.
15:16There was a horse called Hoof Hearted.
15:20There was a horse called Sotali Toba.
15:23Well, they clearly were when they named that one.
15:25Brilliant.
15:25There was one in New Zealand called Waikikamukau, which is obviously some sort of Maori language.
15:31Waikikamukau.
15:33This one has to be Les Dawson's horse.
15:35Yeah.
15:35Oh, no, it's my mother-in-law.
15:38Somebody who obviously loved Julie Andrews.
15:40Do, re, mi, fa, sa, la, ti, do.
15:43Brilliant.
15:43And flat, fleet, feet, which is hard enough to say slowly, let alone when one's thundering towards you.
15:51And then almost my favourite was one.
15:53If you can imagine that you're about to go in and read a sports bulletin and suddenly, you know, the racing results are coming in.
15:59And so on, hands you a piece of paper and goes, here's the 215 from Newton Abbott.
16:02And this is what the piece of paper said.
16:04We can see it there on Rachel's board at the top.
16:08Yeah.
16:08That was the name of the horse that had won.
16:10And so the sports reader just picked it up, ran in and went, the winner of the 215 at Newton Abbott, Fields of Fat Henry.
16:20I think we can safely assume that that newsreader was not Irish.
16:24Exactly.
16:25The Fields of Athen Rye.
16:27Oh, brilliant.
16:32Thanks, Mark.
16:33So, 30 plays 20.
16:35Nikki, letters game for you.
16:37Thanks, Nikki.

17:51Holler is absolutely fine.
17:52No horn with an E, I'm afraid, even in the cream cake sense.
17:56Sorry.
17:57Bad luck, Terry.
17:58But what can we have, I wonder?
17:59Mark, Susie?
18:00Something from North America we can have, which is eight letters long.
18:03Yep, a bullhorn, which is another term for a megaphone.
18:06A bullhorn, yeah.
18:07Yeah.
18:07Well done.
18:10Thirty-six plays 20.
18:12And we turn to Terry.

19:29Seven as well.
19:31Terry?
19:32Measure.
19:33And?
19:33Flamers.
19:34Flamers.
19:35Those computer trolls, flamers, yeah.
19:38Now, Mark, Susie?
19:40Just been talking about horses.
19:41Refusal for seven?
19:43Yeah.
19:43First refusal.
19:45And Susie?
19:47To re-flame is to rekindle or to burst into flames again.
19:51So you can have re-flames for eight.
19:5443 to 27, and we turn to Nicky.
19:58Nicky, it's numbers.
19:59Thanks, Nick.
20:00Can I please have three large and three small, please?
20:03You can indeed.
20:03Thank you, Nicky.
20:04Three from the top row.
20:05And three litlens.
20:06And this time around, the three smalls are four, seven, and one.
20:10And the three large, 100, 75, and 25.
20:15And the target, 592.
20:18592.
20:21And the four large, 10, that's one.
20:51Five, nine, three.
20:52One away.
20:53And Terry?
20:53Five, nine, five.
20:55So let's stick with Nicky for the minute, yes?
20:58So seven minus one is six.
21:00Yep.
21:01Times it by the hundred.
21:02Six hundred.
21:0375 divided by 25 is three.
21:06Yep.
21:06Take away the three and the four.
21:08Yep.
21:09One away.
21:09Five, nine, three.
21:10Pretty good.
21:11Pretty close.
21:11But five, nine, two.
21:13How tricky is that, Rachel?
21:15It was there if you start with 75 minus one is 74.
21:19And then 100 divided by 25 is four.
21:24Add it to the other four for eight and times them together.
21:27Five, nine, three.
21:27Well done.
21:28Thank you, Rachel.
21:31Wonderful.
21:32So 50 plays 27.
21:34Nicky on 50 is we turn to our second tea time teaser,
21:37which is in her test.
21:39And the clue.
21:40In her test, she had to show how four of these made 52.
21:45In her test, she had to show how four of these made 52.
21:50Welcome back.
22:07After the clue, in her test, she had to show how four of these made 52.
22:14The answer to that one is 13s.

25:07Nicky. Just a five. And Terry. Six. Nicky. Patio. And? Weapon. Yep. It's sitting there, yeah. And Mark? Nothing more than six. Opiate. Yep. Okay. Susie? Yeah, Weapon for me as well. Weapon for you, yeah. All right.
25:26So, 55 to 38 now. Terry's closing up a bit as we turn to Susie. Give our players a little bit of a rest. Susie, your origins of words. Where will you take us today?
25:38I'm going to take you to an adjective that means dull or insipid and has also something to do with human anatomy and actually gave us a meal of the day. So, it's a very roundabout route I'm going to take you on today.
25:51And it's not a particularly familiar word, but it's just one that I find quite interesting. And that word, I know Mark's heard of it, is jejun, which is spelled J-E-J-U-N-E.
26:01As I say, it means insipid or dull or bland, not something you particularly want to be. And it did begin its history as part of the human anatomy.
26:09It was part of the small intestine. And it goes back to the Latin word, the jejunus, which meant fasting.
26:15And that seems quite odd to go from fasting to a section of the small intestine. But there's a slightly morbid reason for that, which is that when you die, the intestine is apparently empty, as though you've been fasting.
26:28So, that bit of the intestine is always empty at death. Not particularly nice.
26:33But the word then came into English in around the 17th century, and it kept that Latin meaning of fasting, that also meant hungry without food, so sort of riffs on the same theme.
26:45But it didn't take long before figurative language took over, and jejun began to be applied to people who were just unsatisfying in some way.
26:52So, the idea, again, of emptiness.
26:55But there was one more link in the chain, because Latin also had the word dis-dejunus, which literally meant to break one's fast.
27:03In French, we have a déjeuner, which today means lunch, but when it first went into French, it meant breakfast.
27:09So, dis-dejunus gave us déjeuner, and eventually it ended up in English as to dine.
27:14So, not breaking your fast in the morning, but breaking your fast in the evening.
27:17So, section of the small intestine, fasting, and dullness, but somehow it all crept into English as mealtime of the day.
27:27Brilliant. Well done.
27:30So good.
27:32Thank you, Susie.
27:34So, 55 plays 38.
27:37Nicky on 55.

31:58Well done.
31:58Getting some strength there.
31:59We're 76 now to 44.
32:01We're in the final round.
32:03You know what to do.
32:05Place your finger on your buzzer.
32:07I'm about to roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:21Nicky?
32:21Is it chirpiest?
32:23Chirpiest.
32:24Let's see whether you're right.
32:26Chirpiest.
32:27Oh, well done.
32:28Well done.
32:29Well done, Nicky.
32:33Good win.
32:34Well done, Terry.
32:35Not bad.
32:36At all.
32:37So take this goodie bag back to Shenfield in Essex with our very best wishes.
32:41Will do.
32:42Yeah.
32:42Good fun.
32:43Excellent start.
32:44When you were a nipper down in Botswana then, did your parents take you to see the Big Five,
32:50as they're called?
32:51Yeah.
32:52I think we didn't see all of it in Botswana.
32:54You had to go to Zimbabwe and the Republic as well.
32:56Okay.
32:57But eventually we saw four of them more than others.
33:00The elusive one was the leopard.
33:03Yeah.
33:03We saw once and it was up a tree with a kill, but we had to zoom in quite far to see it.
33:10But apart from the other four, they were quite easy to see.
33:11That's quite special to see a leopard up a tree with its kill.
33:15Brilliant stuff.
33:16Travel safely.
33:17Thanks for coming.
33:18You're going from strength to strength over there.
33:21Yeah.
33:21Third win.
33:23Good win.
33:23It's getting stronger all the time.
33:25Fingers crossed.
33:26Well, you're doing very well.
33:27We shall see you tomorrow.
33:28Yep.
33:29All right.
33:29Have a very quiet evening.
33:31Mark, tomorrow?
33:33See you tomorrow.
33:34And Susie, too?
33:35Yep, me too.
33:35All right.
33:35Well done.
33:37Now, Nikki's doing cracking stuff, isn't she?
33:38She's doing marvellously.
33:39She's got a bit of residency here now.
33:41She has indeed.
33:41Three wins.
33:42And one friend in the audience.
33:43Yep, they're going strong.
33:43And Conley, because I looked at Nikki.
33:45You don't mind me saying this to you, Nikki.
33:47But in the first game, you were quite nervous, weren't you?
33:50Now, you're very relaxed about it.
33:53And actually, it helps a lot to be as relaxed as you are.
33:55I think so, yeah.
33:56Bricking it, I think, is the term in the first game.
33:59If you say so.
34:00I'll see you tomorrow.
34:01See you then.
34:02Same time, same place.
34:03You be sure of it.
34:04A very good afternoon.
