00:00Oh
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34And I've just mentioned the words operatic tenor, of course.
00:36And we all think, or many, many of us think,
00:40just one man, the wonderful Luciano Pavarotti,
00:43such a talented character.
00:45And, of course, he was one of the great threesome,
00:47the great three tenors with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras.
00:51He was a charismatic character, big chap indeed he was.
00:54And his last performance of Nessun Dormer
00:58was way back when he sang it at the 2006 Winter Olympics,
01:04the opening ceremony there, died very sadly just ten years ago
01:09in Medina, where he was born back in 1935.
01:12He was a great, great charismatic character.
01:14Carried a lot of weight, I might say.
01:16But operas. I've got one favourite opera.
01:19And I'm not an opera buff, but there's one, Tosca. I love it.
01:22It was a wonderful thing, and it's when the great Angela Georgiou
01:27was first appeared.
01:28And she was such a beautiful young woman.
01:31And it was such a moving opera with this beautiful young woman
01:34that I'd decided to go the following day.
01:36Turned up and was disappointed to find that Tosca
01:41was a new Tosca.
01:43It was a 27-stone Tosca.
01:46Who, when confronted by Scarpio, the head of the secret police,
01:52actually towered over him, and the whole thing was spoilt for me.
01:55There we are. That's my little story.
01:56What about your opera experiences?
01:59Well, I went... You know where they had the G7 summit in Taramina,
02:02the amphitheatre?
02:03I went there last year to see Madame Butterfly, which was gorgeous.
02:07It was just the setting, and to know that, you know,
02:09plays and performances have been performed there for hundreds of years.
02:13It was a beautiful night, and I like...
02:15I mean, I don't know Tosca's story,
02:17but I know that Madame Butterfly is the same as Miss Saigon.
02:21So that's how I understood what was going on.
02:22Because it's all in Italian, isn't it?
02:24So it's a bit complicated.
02:25Lovely stuff.
02:26Now, who have you got?
02:27Why, Nicky's back.
02:28On four great wins.
02:30Close run thing yesterday.
02:31Yes, all very close run.
02:33It was indeed.
02:34Now, you're joined today by Steve Anderson,
02:36a chef from Uxfield,
02:37who worked in the winter season in Val Terrens,
02:41where you enjoyed snowboarding when you weren't in the kitchen.
02:44I bet you ran from that kitchen as fast as you possibly could.
02:47I did what I could to get out on the mountain.
02:49And how was the snowboarding?
02:50It's very well.
02:51I picked up a lot when I was out there.
02:53I went out there.
02:53I'd only done one week of skiing and one week of boarding,
02:56and I sort of picked up on snowboarding a lot
02:58and ended up being better at that.
03:00I bet you became pretty good at it, yeah?
03:02I was all right.
03:03Excellent stuff.
03:03Well, good luck to you both.
03:04Good luck to Steve and Nicky, too.
03:07And, of course, Susie.
03:14And she's a real favourite here at Countdown.
03:16It's always a pleasure.
03:17Broadcasting legend, the wonderful Gloria Hannaford.
03:20And I'm glad I'm the south, Susie.
03:23And more from you a little bit later on.
03:25But now we turn to you, Nicky, for the first letters game.
03:28Nicky.
03:29Hi, Rachel.
03:29Can I start with a vowel, please?
03:31Thank you, Nicky.

04:46We had a couple of dates, actually, but the one had his roasting.
04:51Very good.
04:51Which is not in the studio today, but anyway, there we go.

06:17Yes, Steve. Perils.
06:18And Nicky?
06:19I think I've misspelled puerile.
06:22Mm-hm.
06:22Oh, you need two E's. Yeah.
06:24That's a plural.
06:25Now then.
06:26Susie's got them all.

06:29Well, usurper is there for seven.
06:32And also, the plural of a dish you might not want to eat,
06:36purries are there, P-U-R-R-I-E-S,
06:38and a purry with a dish of boiled oatmeal and cabbage.
06:42Oh, it's like porridge and cabbage mixed.
06:44Yeah.
06:44Horrible.
06:45Funny enough, I had porridge this morning.
06:47Now, Steve on 13, Nicky on seven.
06:50Numbers. Nicky?
06:51Thanks.

08:01And so, Rachel, 941?
08:03Yes, if you say 75
08:05plus 25 is

08:0910, 1,000. And then
08:11take away the others. The 50, the 6,
08:13and the 3.
08:17So, Steve on
08:1920 and Nicky on 14.

08:29in the Western world. This dish is very
08:31popular in the Western world.
08:37warm welcome back.
08:49I left with a clue. This dish is very
08:51popular in the Western world.
08:53What dish would that be? Why?
08:55It would be a spaghetti dish.
08:57Spaghetti.
08:59So, Steve on 20, Nicky on

10:14Six as well.
10:15Steve, potted.
10:16Tapped.
10:18And over in the corner there?
10:20Tapped fine, but potted, you need two T's.
10:23See if there's any one there.
10:24Sorry.
10:25Now, Gloria, you look excited.
10:27Oh, no, I'm very excited because we've got a seven.
10:29Adoptee.
10:30An adoptee.
10:31Very good.
10:32Well done.
10:32Well done.
10:33So, 20 apiece.
10:34And Nicky, you're back on.
10:35Let us go.

11:42What would that be?
11:43A tubing.
11:44Tubing.
11:45And?
11:45Same word.
11:47They're both tubed.
11:49And, Gloria?
11:50Um, well, I wouldn't have spelt it this way.
11:53I know the word.
11:54But thankfully, and besides Susie, whom I love.
11:57Yes.
11:57She's got the spelling.
11:58Bitumen.
11:59Bitumen.
11:59But I wouldn't have spelt it that way, see.
12:01So I'd have been wrong.
12:03Anyway, it's a seven.
12:04It is a seven.
12:05Well done.
12:06Is that viscous substance you put on road surfaces?
12:08Indeed, yeah.
12:09Hard top.
12:10Black top, even.
12:11Black top.
12:1226 apiece.
12:13And Steve, numbers time.
12:15Two large and four small, please.
12:16Thank you, Steve.
12:17Two from the top row.
12:18Four little-uns.
12:19And this time around, your selection is five, ten, three, another three, and the big one's
12:26fifty, and twenty-five, and the target, two hundred and thirty-one.
12:31Two, three, one.
12:32Two, three, one.
13:03Yes, Steve.
13:04Uh, two, three, one, not written down.
13:07Nicky?
13:07Two, three, one.
13:09Yes, Steve?
13:10Uh, five times fifty is two hundred and fifty.
13:12Yep.
13:13Uh, take away ten.
13:14Two forty.
13:15And then three times three is nine.
13:17Lovely.
13:18Two, three, one.
13:19Nicky?
13:20Exactly the same weight.
13:21Well done.
13:22Well done.
13:23Well done.
13:27So it's neck and neck.
13:29Thirty-six apiece as we turn to Gloria.
13:32Now, Gloria, what have you got for us today?
13:34Well, I, no, you're supposed to see, to be shocked at all of this.
13:38I want to hear, ah, a shot bin take a bet.
13:40This year, I will have been 70 years in showbiz.
13:44Don't be ridiculous.
13:45Exactly.
13:46That's the reaction I needed a bit.
13:47The audience, ah, should be a bit more than that.
13:50Uh, obviously not as a broadcaster.
13:51I started broadcasting in 69, but I used to be a singer.
13:54Started in the pram, obviously.
13:56Um, but that's what I was going to be.
13:59But I hate to tell you, it was pre-television days.
14:02Isn't that shocking?
14:03Because I'm surrounded by young people here.
14:05And in Northern Ireland in particular, your granny might know this.
14:09There used to be homespun entertainment a lot.
14:11It was really big business.
14:13Three, four, five nights a week, north and south of the border.
14:16But it would be in church halls and in schools and, you know, maybe a parochial hall.
14:21And we would have a concert party.
14:23And this was called the Mid-Ulster Variety Group.
14:26And my dad was a newspaper man by day, but a magician by night.
14:30So he was in the concert party.
14:32I would sing my songs like, powder your face with sunshine.
14:36Rubbish, really.
14:38But anyway, that's what I did.
14:40And my first pay was seven and sixpence.
14:42And it was somebody handing the cap around.
14:44So I've gone on a seven and sixpence ever since, really.
14:48Yeah, but it's quite interesting.
14:49I mean, now that I look back on it, as a child, and I really was that child performer,
14:54it got me used to standing on a stage.
14:57And I suppose the side of my own voice hadn't shut up since.
15:01But, you know, I know some people who could broadcast like this to millions,
15:05but couldn't stand up in front of an audience of 500 people.
15:08So it taught me a lot, subconsciously.
15:11And they were good days and still got up for school at seven o'clock,
15:16even though we might not have got home until one in the morning.
15:18So it was a training of sorts.
15:20I think from my point of view, apparently I always sang.
15:24And in our kitchen, we had like, you know, those big, big brown Baker Light radios.
15:28Yeah.
15:28And apparently I used to stand as a little tot on the chair and sing into the radio,
15:33because I worked on the premise that if I could hear them, they could hear me.
15:37And I thought that one day, you know, as it was the light programme there in BBC,
15:41that one day the BBC would go, you, singing, hey, you're adorable, we want you.
15:48So eventually they did, but not for that reason.
15:51Well, you're a great entertainer.
15:52We love having you here.
15:53Lovely.
15:54So, 36 apiece.
16:02So, Nicky, let us go.
16:05Can I start with a vowel, please?
16:06Thank you, Nicky.
16:07I.
16:08And another.
16:09O.
16:10And a third.
16:12A.
16:13A consonant.
16:16N.
16:16A consonant.
16:18D.
16:18Another consonant.
16:21L.
16:22A fourth consonant.
16:24F.
16:25A vowel.
16:28E.
16:29And another consonant, please.
16:31And lastly, W.
16:33Go and bye.
16:34Bye.
16:34Bye.
16:34Bye.
16:34Bye.

17:06Six again.
17:07And?
17:07Six.
17:08Nicky?
17:09Floored.
17:10Yes, dude.
17:11Failed.
17:12Can we beat six, I wonder?
17:14Um, not really.
17:15No.
17:16Can you get six?
17:17Actually, no, I was thinking about a word, it's only five, but can you have the word dowel?
17:22You know, like a joint.
17:24Yeah.
17:24A wooden joint.
17:25A dowel.
17:26You can.
17:27Can you?
17:27Yep.
17:28That's pretty good.
17:28At least I know what a dowel is.
17:31And then we also have fondle.
17:33I know what that is.
17:34And that's pretty good.
17:35LAUGHTER
17:3742 apiece and...
17:39Steve, letters game.
17:42Consonant, please.
17:43Thank you, Steve.
17:44L.
17:46And another.

17:49And a vowel.
17:51O.
17:52And a consonant.
17:55D.
17:56And a vowel.
17:57A
17:58And another
18:00U
18:01And a third
18:04A
18:06A consonant
18:09T
18:11And a final consonant, please
18:13And a final S
18:15Countdown
18:27Yes, Steve
18:49Seven
18:49A seven and
18:50Just six
18:51And you're six
18:53Adults
18:54And Steve
18:56Outlast
18:56Very nice
18:57Good one
18:58Well done
18:59Susie's got a very clever one
19:01Susie
19:02Well, I have a tasty one, maybe
19:04It's a Tostada
19:06T-O-S-T-A-D-A
19:07A Mexican deep-fried flour pancake
19:09With a mixture of beans or meat and vegetables
19:12Seven
19:12Emily Gills
19:13That was it for seven
19:14That'll do
19:15Tricky one
19:15So, Steve
19:17Lurched ahead
19:1849 to Nicky's
19:1942
19:20And now, Nicky
19:21Your numbers came
19:22Thank you
19:22Can I have four large, please?
19:24You can, indeed
19:25Four from the top
19:25And two small
19:26And two
19:26Steve is exhaling
19:28I don't think that's a good sign
19:29We'll see
19:30Right, these two small ones
19:31Seven
19:32And nine
19:33And then the big four
19:34Fifty
19:35Seventy-five
19:36Twenty-five
19:37And one hundred
19:38And the target to reach
19:40Six hundred and ninety-five
19:41Six-nine-five
19:42One hundred and ninety-five
19:44And one hundred and ninety-five
19:45One hundred and ninety-five
19:48Two thousand and eighty-five
19:49And one hundred and ninety-five
20:156-9-1.
20:16Four away, Steve.
20:176-9-7.
20:186-9-7.
20:21Yes, Steve.
20:227 times 100 is 700.
20:25Yep.
20:2675 over 25 is 3.
20:28Yep.
20:29And subtract that.
20:31Yep.
20:31Two away.
20:32Well done.
20:33Well done.
20:34But 6-9-5.
20:35Rachel.
20:37Well, Steve may kick himself, because if you start exactly the same way, 7 times 100 is
20:41700, but then if you just do 75 plus 50 and divide that by 25, you get 5 to take away.
20:49There we go.
20:53So, Steve on 56 and Nicky on 42, as we turn to our second Tea Time teaser, which is Satan
21:02Beef and the Clue.
21:03No beef on the menu, just lots and lots of musical fruit.

24:47something about da da da and write them out that's it get them doggies moving or something
24:52yes something like that anywhere to 70 lovely well done Suzy writhed is also there for seven thank you
24:59all right 62 plays 55 and here we go Suzy we've all been waiting it's your wonderful origins of words
25:08what have you for us today thanks Nick well I've had a few emails in asking me for the origin of
25:14short shrift it's quite hard to say what is a shrift if you give someone short shrift you don't really
25:20pay much attention to them in fact you're quite curt with them usually it goes back a very very long
25:26way to at least the late 16th century and William Shakespeare unsurprisingly he seemed to have coined
25:32it in his play Richard III and shrift was based on the verb to shrive but that ultimately goes all the
25:38way back to a Latin verb scribere which meant to write and that's given us scripture script scribe
25:45etc but shrive originally had a very specific religious meaning of to hear the confession of a
25:52penitent so it was to prescribe penance to somebody presumably in writing which is the link and to grant
25:57absolution so over the years the noun shrift has meant uh the confession the sentence of penance and
26:04the absolution itself and of course we still keep that with shrove tuesday shrove is the past tense of
26:10shrive and that's the day before ash wednesday in the christian calendar which is traditionally a time
26:15of confession and absolution but by shakespeare's time it had settled a little bit to mean the
26:20opportunity to confess and to be absolved of sin that specifically before punishment which was usually
26:26a death sentence so in which of the third lord hastings he's about to be beheaded on the king's
26:32orders says make a short shrift he longs to see your head in other words the king is impatient
26:38for his execution so very very grisly he was the first shakespeare to use short shrift in that sense
26:44then flew below the radar actually a very very long time i need to re-emerge later with a slightly
26:49different meaning and it's the one that we know today a bit less grisly which is a brief and
26:54superficial consideration as i say maybe with a stroke of impatience uh involved there too just as
27:00the king was impatient for the beheading of a subject but all traces of penance now have gone
27:05except intro tuesday and it stays there still thank you

30:18And your six?
30:19Molier.
30:20Molier?
30:22Nicky?
30:23Reliner?
30:25Hmm.
30:26Do you mean I'm molier than you?
30:29Or I'm molier than you are.
30:31Um, it's not there, I'm afraid, Steve.
30:33You can be a moiler, if you turn it around a little bit, somebody who labours and works hard.
30:38Uh, Nicky, so you had reliner.
30:40Mm-hmm.
30:40Absolutely fine, yeah.
30:41Someone who relines oil paintings or simply material, which is a new lining.
30:46And you had a good one as well for seven, don't you?
30:48Uh, a lorimer.
30:49So that comes up from time to time.
30:51That's a make-up of stirrups in the olden days.
30:53Indeed.
30:54All right, well done.
30:55And well done, Nicky.
30:56Look at this.
30:57You've closed your way back.
30:58Um, to be, uh, even with, uh, Steve on 68.
31:0268 apiece as we go into the final numbers game.
31:05And now, Steve, it's numbers, final one.
31:08Let's go.
31:08Uh, too large, please.
31:10Thank you, Steve.
31:10Too large.
31:11See if either of you can get the upper hand before the crucial conundrum.
31:14His final numbers of the day is one, ten, eight, nine.
31:20And the large ones, 25 and 100.
31:23And your target, 278.
31:26Two, seven, eight.
31:27Two, seven, eight.
31:40Uh, uh, uh.
31:43Uh, uh, uh.
31:43Uh, uh, uh.
31:50Uh, uh.
31:51Uh, uh.
31:51Uh, uh.
31:54Uh, uh.
31:55Steve, 275.
32:01275, Nicky?
32:02277, not written down.
32:04Nicky?
32:06So 25 plus 1 is 26.
32:09Yeah.
32:10Multiply it by the 10.
32:12260.
32:13And then add the 9 and the 8.
32:15Yeah, 277, one away.
32:17Well done.
32:18Well done.
32:18Propels you into a lead.
32:19But first of all, let's see whether Rachel can straighten this out for us.
32:23Yes, Rachel?
32:23Um, yes, there was a way if you say 25 times 10 is 250.
32:29Add the 100 for 350.
32:32And then 9 times 8 is 72.
32:35And take it away.
32:37There we go.
32:40And so would be scored.
32:42Standing Nicky on 75.
32:44She's clawed back, all right.
32:47To Steve, 68, we go into the final round.
32:49Crucial countdown conundrum time.
32:51Let's roll it.
