00:30Hello, everybody. I hope you had a good weekend. Welcome back to Countdown Season 90, hurtling towards its big Christmas finale and still time for a champion to emerge from the Countdown shadows. Enough regular games left. Welcome back, Rachel.
00:48Thanks, Colt.
00:48Now, talking of champions, this is, I would say, bored and unforgivable in terms of your I have nevers, because this is the anniversary of the release of The Hunger Games Catching Fire, the second and arguably best of the movie series.
01:07You've never watched The Hunger Games?
01:09No.
01:10Wow.
01:11Am I the only one?
01:12Oh.
01:13No, Susie's not seen it either.
01:15I haven't.
01:15You have so many rainy Sundays ahead of you now that, you know, I just envy you, because you can sit and just sit and watch through the original four.
01:25Says someone who does not have toddlers.
01:27We rabbit hole thing with Hunger Games, because obviously based on the books by Suzanne Collins.
01:32And before that, there's a book called Battle Royale, which I read first before I knew of The Hunger Games by Kushin Takami.
01:41And it's unbelievable.
01:43But that's where you should start.
01:44And a lot of people who've watched Hunger Games have not read Battle Royale, which is as criminal as you not see in the movies.
01:50Well, my level is Married at First Sight.
01:52So if I want to switch off from the world of everything being grim and dystopian, should I watch Hunger Games or sit with Married at First Sight?
02:00Hunger Games.
02:01I mean, I don't want to overstate it, but it's up there with Dr. Pimple Popper.
02:05Brilliant.
02:06Get into that.
02:07All right, now I'm listening.
02:08Yes.
02:08Fire is catching, let me tell you.
02:10Let's head over to Dictionary Corner and say a very special hello with this salute to our Susie Dent, our doyen of the Dictionary.
02:18And we welcome another DC debutante today after Neil Delamere and Carl Frampton were just upgrading the Irish with every single week.
02:29The presenter and broadcaster, Angela Scanlon's here.
02:32Hello.
02:33So happy to be here.
02:36And unlike these two strange ones, you've watched the Hunger Games.
02:39No, I actually haven't, but I'm big on Love is Blind at the moment.
02:43I'm in that camp.
02:44Again, small kids, you want pure escape and the illusion of freedom.
02:48It's going to be a long week, people.
02:53A long week.
02:54We might spend the whole week with Liz Davis, who's our twice champion now and great scores.
03:0087, then the century.
03:02How are you, Liz?
03:03Fine, thank you.
03:04We welcome you here from, of course, Lixom.
03:07I have an image of it being a beautiful place, a little village in North Wales.
03:11Am I right?
03:12Tell me a little bit about the surroundings.
03:13It is beautiful, yes.
03:15It's just outside of the area of outstanding natural beauty that is the veil of Cluid.
03:22And where I live is just idyllic.
03:25Right.
03:25You're up against Logan Skelton.
03:28One letter off Skelton and he wasn't on our Halloween show.
03:30I don't know how that worked.
03:31Sorry, I came a little late to the party.
03:34Really nice to have you here and so much we could talk to you about.
03:38But tell me how you've prepared for your Countdown debut.
03:42Oh, I don't mean to sound intimidating, but I've prepared a lot online.
03:45I've played on the app, played all the old video games, even on the old Wii game.
03:48Yes, that was a thing.
03:50There was a thing in 2009 or 10.
03:53There was a Nintendo Wii game.
03:54I've practiced on that.
03:55But I've also practiced online against former contestants, but I lost quite heavily against them.
04:01But I have taken some tips against them, so that's promising stuff.
04:06I love that, Logan.
04:07Good luck to you and good luck to Liz.
04:11And Liz, you're choosing the first letters.
04:14Hello, Rachel.
04:15Hi, Liz.
04:16Please, may I have a consonant?
04:18You may.
04:18Start the week with L.
04:21Another consonant?
04:23M.
04:23And a third consonant?
04:27Q.
04:28A vowel?
04:30E.
04:32And another vowel?
04:33A.
04:35And another vowel?
04:37O.
04:39A consonant, please.
04:41N.
04:43Another consonant?
04:45G.
04:46And a final vowel.
04:48And a final I.
04:51At Hallmand in the studio, let's play Countdown.
04:53A.
04:55A忍.
04:57Aaph.
04:57Acosystem.
04:57A licensing.
04:58A beş.
04:58A.
04:59Awięone.
04:59A Harshford.
04:59A father.
04:59A robot.
05:00A楽 بد.
05:00A zoo.
05:00A человеч.
05:01Aunge.
05:14A Majesty.
05:15A 나�因素.
05:16A Healthy.
05:17A Huze.
05:18A choosing.
05:19A Zi.
05:19Speaker.
05:20That's time. How many, Liz?
05:25Risky seven.
05:26Thank you. And Logan, how many?
05:27I've got a risky seven as well.
05:29I wonder, is it the same risky seven? Let's find out. Liz?
05:31Loaming.
05:32And Logan, what's yours?
05:33I also have loaming as well.
05:36Perfect. Well, I think it becomes less risky
05:38when there's an alliance between champion and challenger.
05:41So, are we allowing it, Susie?
05:43I'm not, I'm afraid.
05:44No. Loam is just there as a noun.
05:47Obviously, the soil of clay and sand, et cetera.
05:50But at the moment, you can't actively loam your soil.
05:53Yeah. I know why you did it, Logan and Liz, with the ING.
05:56It was too tempting not to take a risk,
05:58because I would have risked mealing.
06:00I had the other one.
06:01And I don't think, might not be there.
06:03We'll find out. Angela, how do we get on in that round?
06:05I got a five with gleam.
06:08We have mangle for six.
06:10Yes, and malign as well, with a silent G.
06:13But, yeah, mealing not there either, I'm afraid, Cole.
06:16I'm only thinking of Mrs. Mangle now.
06:18Do you remember?
06:19She was fierce, wasn't she?
06:23It's like a football match, isn't it?
06:24It's not meant to be.
06:25It's meant to be more like cricket, but it's nil-nil.
06:28Logan, let's go again.
06:29Hi, Rachel.
06:30Hi, Logan.
06:30Can we start with a consonant, please?
06:32Start with S.
06:34And a second.
06:37R.
06:38And a vowel.
06:40E.
06:41And another vowel.
06:43U.
06:44And back to a consonant, please.
06:46J.
06:48Another consonant.
06:50N.
06:51Vowel.
06:53A.
06:55Another vowel.
06:57I.
06:58And a final consonant, please.
07:01Final S.
07:02Great stuff.
07:0330 seconds.
07:0430 seconds.
07:0430 seconds.
07:34And that is time. How many, Logan?
07:36I'll stick with a seven.
07:37And for you, Liz?
07:38Only six.
07:39And the six is?
07:41Juries.
07:41And the seven?
07:42Injures.
07:43Injures.
07:44Very good.
07:44Well done.
07:46And Angela, what have you got?
07:47We have injures, sarnies, insures.
07:51Sarnies, obviously.
07:52Right, let's go to the numbers.
07:54First time today, Liz Davis.
07:57Please may I have one from the top and any other five?
08:00You may indeed.
08:01One large and five.
08:03Presumably, you mean the little ones.
08:05Yes, I do.
08:05Yeah.
08:06I won't get botantic.
08:07Right, first one of the week.
08:09Six, eight, three, three, nine.

08:53No.
08:54Oh, and Logan?
08:55733.
08:56Off you go, Logan.
08:57Nine times three is 27.
09:00Nine times three, 27.
09:02Six over the other three is two.
09:05Add that to the 27.
09:0729.
09:08Multiply by the 25 for 725.
09:10Yep.
09:10And add the eight.
09:11Nicely done, 733.
09:13Nice one.
09:15Great start from our challenger as we get our first
09:18tea-time teaser of the day, which is Hose Cube.
09:22Hose Cube, as in H-O-S-E.
09:24If you feel a little hungry, have some of these.
09:28If you feel a little hungry, have some of these.
09:46Welcome back.
09:47Not amused by this at all.
09:49If you feel a little hungry, have some of these.
09:53Bouchers.
09:53I'm going to go for the pronunciation.
09:56Yeah, totally right.
09:57It's from the French for mouthful.
09:58You were talking about amuse-bouche, which is like a sort of something just to entice your
10:03palate.
10:03And bouchers are small pastries with sweet or savoury fillings.
10:07There you go.
10:08Sounds a bit posh.
10:09Sounds delicious.
10:10Posh to me.
10:11Right, let's get back to the game.
10:13What a start.
10:13Logan Skelton, a challenger.

11:31Or Lactone at six.
11:33Seven.
11:34Seven, seven.
11:35Yeah.
11:36The maths bit isn't my strong spot.
11:38You misdeclared, so I can't give you any points whatsoever for that.
11:41You said it was a six.
11:43I've got to take you to your first answer.
11:44Gone.
11:45Lactone.
11:46Lactone, yes.

13:08Liz?
13:09Flyers.
13:09Thank goodness for that.
13:10And Logan?
13:11Flowers, F-L-U-R-S.
13:14Yep, flyers can be spelt that way as well.
13:16And flowers is you dust flower over something you are actively flowering it.
13:20Very good.
13:21To dictionary corner.
13:23Come on, Angela.
13:24Double sevens.
13:25Fawesome and mousier.
13:27Love it.
13:28You're going to have 14 points.
13:29Let's get our second numbers round of the day, Logan.
13:32Two large, please, Rachel.
13:33Thank you, Logan.
13:34Two from the top and four little coming up for you.
13:38This time the small numbers are seven, two, one, four.
13:42And the large ones, 25 and 75.
13:46And the target, oh, 973.
13:49973, numbers up.
13:59Big target, 973 with two lords, thanks to Logan.
14:24Did you nail it?
14:25Yes, I did.
14:26973.
14:26Well done.
14:27And for you, Liz?
14:28974.
14:29974, just one away.
14:31But it could make the difference of 10 points, as you know, Liz.
14:34Off you go, Logan.
14:3625 minus 7 minus 4 minus 1 is 13.
14:41Yep.
14:41Multiply by the 75.
14:43975.
14:44And then take the two.
14:45Well done, 973.
14:46Yes.
14:47Brilliant.
14:47Let's head over to the dictionary corner for our first chat ever with Angela Scanlon.
14:55On the programme, obviously.
14:56We talk to you often.
14:56I always say, when someone's new, I always say, don't tell me when it went right, tell
15:02me when it went wrong.
15:04Well, there's quite a few of those.
15:06But let's start.
15:07I hosted the red carpet at the BAFTAs.
15:11And it was like a live, you know, chit-chat, chatting to the stars as they were coming up
15:15and on their way in.
15:16So, you know, a lot of tension, a lot of nerves.
15:19Mine, more so than theirs.
15:20And there was a guy standing there.
15:23So, I was waiting, prepping myself for Michael Fassbender, who was up for a BAFTA.
15:29And I saw a lad and I thought, oh, he looks a bit lost, actually.
15:32And so, I just started chatting to him.
15:36And then I realised that the crew kind of came over and followed us.
15:41I was like, oh, how are you doing?
15:42I kept it really general.
15:43It's like, is it your first time at the BAFTAs?
15:46He was like, no, it's been a few times, but it's been a while.
15:50Can we guess who it is?
15:52Go for it.
15:52Right, Mel Gebson.
15:54In, well, maybe not in that vein, but he, yeah, he's in that country.
15:58No.
16:00Right, OK, we go on.
16:00But he's usually a bit more, I'd say, mucky in how he presents when he's on set.
16:06And here he was in a kind of, you know, tailored.
16:10Dressed up.
16:10He was dressed up, he looked polished.
16:12And so, I just couldn't kind of, you know, place him.
16:15Right, go ahead, who was it?
16:16It was Steven Spielberg.
16:19No!
16:19I wouldn't go that big.
16:23He didn't have a baseball cap.
16:25What are you going to do?
16:25I wouldn't go that big.
16:26Yeah, he was big.
16:27I just can't match that.
16:29And I am infamous for putting my food in it.
16:32I don't think I could match being with someone as famous as that and not knowing who they were.
16:35Yeah, no, it was pretty, it was pretty foot and mouth.
16:38But it was actually one of my favourite memories.
16:40Because I could tell from his face that he knew I had no idea who he was.
16:46And it probably never happens to him.
16:48You said things to him like, if you need to know anything or you need any help.
16:51Let me know.
16:52I know people.
16:52This lad here, Fassbender, apparently he's going to be quite big.
16:55I can get you into me, Tim, if you don't.
17:00That's brilliant.
17:01Thank you so much.
17:04Right, let's get back to the game.
17:0639-6.
17:08So, a really good start for a challenger, Logan.
17:10But Liz is on the board and looking for a purple patch.
17:13Let's go.
17:13Please, may I have a consonant to start with?
17:17Thank you, Liz.
17:18T.
17:18And another.
17:20Y.
17:22And another.
17:24N.

17:45And a consonant.
17:47And lastly, R.
17:49And start the clock.
17:50Vowel.
18:16Liz?
18:21Eight.
18:22Eight from Liz and Logan?
18:23Eight.
18:24And an eight as well.
18:25Big scores here.
18:26Three-team.
18:27Logan?
18:27Yeah, same word.
18:29Yes.
18:29Eight apiece, Angela.
18:31Good letters, these.
18:32Good letters, but eight's fantastic.
18:34A nine.
18:35Yattering.
18:36No.
18:37Well done.
18:38Yeah.
18:39Right.
18:40Let's get to the bottom of this.
18:42We like a natter.
18:43Yeah.
18:44We love a yatter.
18:45That's what I'm thinking.
18:46You think I love a yatter?
18:47It means to talk incessantly.
18:49So he was yattering on to me all morning, for example.
18:53Why he?
18:54Why not she?
18:55Well, I don't know who's frightened of me.
18:56It's my first day.
18:58I was friendly.
18:59Fire.
18:59There's only one he in the four of us.
19:01You could have said they.
19:05Silence.
19:06In as few words as possible, let's get more letters from Logan.
19:10Can we start with a vowel, please?
19:11Thank you, Logan.
19:13O.
19:13And another.
19:14E.
19:16And a third.
19:17A.

20:12And for you, Liz?
20:13I'm going to try a nine.
20:14Oh!
20:16Logan, the seven.
20:18Cleared.
20:19Big gap at the moment between Liz and Logan.
20:22This is the perfect time to risk a nine.
20:25Let's find out.
20:26Overlaced.
20:28Overlaced.
20:29Love the idea of an overlace.
20:31It's not there with such a valiant effort, though, Liz,
20:35but it's not in. I'm so sorry.
20:36Talk to me next to me, Courtney.
20:38We had sevens, too, otherwise.
20:40We did. Yeah, covered.
20:41I got seven with a cleaver.
20:44Yeah.
20:44That was it.
20:46That's that covered.
20:46So let's get back to the numbers.
20:48And Liz.
20:49As always, one large and five small, please.
20:52One large, five not coming up for you, Liz.
20:55This time around, the selection is six, nine, two, seven, ten,
21:02and one hundred.
21:04And you need to reach 680.
21:06Six, eight, zero.
21:07Numbers up.
21:08One large, five, five, six, nine, and ten.
21:13Let's go.
21:14You need to be a good leader.
21:16Thanks.
21:186-8-0, Liz.
21:41I've got it, but I haven't written it down.
21:43No worries, because you've got to go first anyway.
21:45Logan? Yes, I have. I have written it down.
21:47Thank you, Logan. And off you go, Liz.
21:49100 times 6.
21:50600.
21:537 plus 9 is 16.
21:55Divided by 2 is 8.
21:57It is.
21:58Times 10 is 80.
22:00And add it together.
22:01Well done. 6-80.
22:02And Logan?
22:03100 times 7 is 700.
22:05700.
22:0610 times 2 is 20.
22:07Take off the 700.
22:08Lovely. Well done.

26:01Dictionary Corner, generous letters rounds today.
26:04Yeah, we got an ace.
26:06Bed posts.
26:07I was messing about with post and I just couldn't get anywhere near that.
26:10Well done. Brilliant. Well spotted.
26:12Bed posts.
26:13Dictionary Corner will notch you up at eight points if you manage to get that at home.
26:18Four rounds left of this Monday's Countdown.
26:21If this is what the week's going to be like, it's going to be unmissable.
26:24Let's get over to Dictionary Corner for Origins of Words.
26:27A lovely email from David Metcalfe in Liverpool,
26:29who had been watching a show when you and I were talking about larking about
26:33and it reminded him of something.
26:36It got him thinking about the word sky larking,
26:38which was a word that his father used when he was a child back in the 60s and 70s.
26:42And David says, he wanted me and my brother to stop being silly,
26:46so I've always thought stop sky larking was associated with daftness.
26:51Can you give me the origin of that term?
26:54Sky larking, you'll find it used in lots of different ways in English.
26:58So it probably began life on the high seas long before it began
27:03in children's playgrounds and families up and down the land
27:06because it was a term used for sailors when they were scampering about
27:10on the rigging of ships.
27:11And they probably were having a bit of fun.
27:16And the reference is almost certainly to the joyous bird
27:19and as it steeply soars and rapidly descends and it's wonderful singing.
27:23So it became associated with carefreeness and just playing about.
27:28So that silliness that David mentioned is definitely there.
27:33But you will also find various instructions on board a ship.
27:36Sailors would hear hands to dance and sky lark
27:39and that is when they had to do some physical training
27:42after a bit of a lull on board a ship just to kind of get them going again.
27:46So my guess is that it is almost certainly to do with the bird,
27:50as I say, and its associations.
27:51But there is another theory, which is that lark here is a riff
27:56on the word lake, which you will find, L-A-I-K,
27:58which you will find a lot certainly in northern England
28:01to mean to play, to frolic.
28:03And that was a Scandinavian word, so probably brought over by the Vikings.
28:07But I'm still sticking to the bird.
28:09It's just got lovely just associations, I think.
28:13That's indeed.
28:15Four rounds to go.
28:17Let's get on with it.
28:18Logan, not quite there yet with the teapot, but close.
28:21Let's hear.

31:12Murkiest, Logan.
31:13The same.
31:15Yep.
31:16Anything to even match it, though?
31:18Not another eight.
31:18We had a couple of sevens.
31:19Nice sevens.
31:20Yeah, muskier or mustier.
31:23Right, there you go.
31:24We know we've got a new champion now.
31:25What a lovely, lovely lad Logan is.
31:27But we will be sad to say goodbye to Liz,
31:30so let's stretch it out as much as we can.
31:32Logan, last numbers.
31:34Time for a real test.
31:35Four large, please, Rachel.
31:36Four large, a proper test.
31:38That's what we like on this show.

32:34Logan, off you go.
32:3550 times 9 is 450.
32:38450.
32:40100 minus 75 is 25.
32:42Yeah.
32:42Divide by the 25 on the board and take it off the 450.
32:47449.
32:49Let's do it one more time.
32:52The clock will move again for Liz.
32:53Finger on the buzzer.
