00:30Good afternoon. Good afternoon. And welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:35Now, I saw an interesting article the other day about a surge in interest in kayaking.
00:40You know, that sort of Eskimo canoe.
00:4270% of the world, afterwards, covered in water.
00:45What better way to explore it than to paddle around in a kayak?
00:48However, some people do more than paddling.
00:52Let me introduce you to Tyler Bratt, an American.
00:55He's a whitewater kayaker.
00:57And there are two stats that worried me.
01:00First of all, he broke the world record at Palouse Falls in Washington for the biggest vertical descent in a kayak.
01:06That would be 189 feet straight down, reaching 77 miles an hour.
01:12Can you imagine?
01:13Leaning down and seeing the water below you, 180-odd feet below you, 77 miles an hour.
01:19Fantastic.
01:20Kayaks. I might tell you, when we were little children, we had a kayak.
01:24And we used to take it to Buskett Weir near Farrington on the Thames.
01:29It was fantastic.
01:31And a weir, as you know, is a sort of a waterfall and then down into the Thames.
01:35But sometimes, at the base of the weir, of course, you get all sorts of funny undercurrents and things.
01:42And it was a scary sort of thing when you were little kids.
01:45What about you?
01:46What daring things have you been up to recently?
01:48I like the stuff that seems scary, like zip wiring, but actually isn't.
01:52It's completely, perfectly safe.
01:53Yeah, skiing.
01:54Even skiing, I like pootling and I like enjoying the atmosphere.
01:57But when you just get down and you're pleased you're alive at the bottom rather than exhilarated, I'd much rather pootle.
02:03I'm sort of with you.
02:05All right.
02:05Now, who's with us?
02:06Ben Laban's with us, teacher from Silchester.
02:09Gathering momentum here.
02:10Five wins.
02:11Likes are risk.
02:14And he's also surfacing with brilliant conundrums.
02:18Fantastic stuff.
02:19And you're joined today by Phil Peeler, business analyst from Durham.
02:23But I love this, Phil.
02:25You own part of a racing pigeon.
02:28Yeah.
02:28Which part's that, then?
02:29It was a result of a drunken day out in the pub.
02:34And about four or five of us decided it would be a good idea to go to a pigeon auction.
02:39We had two pigeons.
02:40One's died already.
02:42That rather sounds as if the other one's in danger.
02:45The other one's okay.
02:46He's just learned to fly.
02:47Tell me this, Phil.
02:50Tell me this, Phil.
02:51How do you teach a bird to race?
02:54I don't do much of it.
02:55I've got a guy who trained it.
02:57But you let it out in its local area at first.
03:00And then you gradually take it just slightly further away.
03:03And eventually it works out where home is and races back there.
03:07And it's got a trainer?
03:08Yes.
03:09Well, good luck with it.
03:10Big round of applause for Ben and Phil Peeler.
03:18Lovely.
03:19Over in the corner, Susie.
03:20Of course, and for the last day.
03:21Oh, Janet Street Porter.
03:24Are you having to leave us at the end of the day?
03:25I know.
03:26I want to say one thing about kayaks.
03:29Go on.
03:29They wreck your marriage.
03:31Go on.
03:31Honestly, a double kayak is a recipe for divorce.
03:35Well, thank you for that, Janet.
03:36It's all right.
03:37I'm with Rachel.
03:39Kayaks are not me at all.
03:41Ben, take us away from all this talk of kayaking.
03:46It's a letters game.

13:56Can you help us?
13:58It was there.
13:59If you start again, five times four is 20.
14:03And then if you do 25 plus three is 28.

14:08And add the one.
14:09Five, six, one.
14:10Well done.
14:11Five, six, one.
14:12Well done.
14:14So, five points we need to fill as we turn to Janet Street Porter.
14:19What have you got for us?
14:21Well, did you know that women would rather read a cookery book than erotica?
14:28I knew it.
14:31Well, behavioural psychologists have been reading extracts of all different kinds of literature
14:39to a group of women and analysing their responses and what they found the most pleasurable.
14:47So, they were read romantic fiction, thrillers, sci-fi, biographies, non-fiction, and erotica.
14:56And the top performer, if that's the right word, was Jamie Oliver's 30-minute meals.
15:06Good old Jamie.
15:07Now, I don't know if a 30-minute meal lasts longer than their sex lives, but who am I
15:14to judge?
15:14What was the name who produced sort of a book a week?
15:18Do you remember?
15:18Oh, Barbara Cartland.
15:19Barbara Cartland.
15:20Oh, my goodness.
15:20Barbara Cartland.
15:22I interviewed her late on in her career and she came into the studio, but she was preceded
15:28by her own lighting director.
15:31So, there was a kind of sofa for her to sit on and I was here in a chair.
15:36And they put an arc light about six foot from her and it blasted out this white light.
15:43So, she tottered in with a coat and hat.
15:46You know, she always had a hat with a feather on it, a bit like the dear old queer mother.
15:50She sat down and all wrinkles, every blemish was like blasted out in this white light.
15:56And I had to sit there and interview her and I was in a pool of sweat.
16:00Thank you, Janet.
16:0738, please.
16:0833.
16:09Phil in the lead.
16:11And now, Ben, it's your letters game.

22:29Bye.
22:30Bye.
22:31Bye.
22:31Bye.
22:31Bye.
22:32Bye.
22:32Bye.
22:33Yes, Phil.
22:36It's an eight, Ben.
22:38Eight.
22:39Two eights.
22:40Phil?
22:41Re-homing.
22:42And?
22:43I thought it might be pigeon-related.
22:44I've got re-homing as well.
22:46All right.
22:47APPLAUSE
22:48Yeah.
22:50That's it.
22:51Just slide it across there.
22:53Well done.
22:54All right.
22:54But over in the corner, Janet and Susie.
22:57Well, we had re-homing too.
22:58Yeah.
22:59A couple of sevens, Frogmen.
23:01Yes.
23:01And fermion, which is a subatomic particle.
23:06How useful.
23:06Thank you very much.
23:08So, 68 to 63, still at five points, Ben.
23:13Letters again.
23:14A consonant start with, please.
23:16Thank you, Ben.
23:16W.
23:18And a vowel.
23:20E.
23:21And another vowel, please.
23:23I.
23:24And a consonant.
23:26T.
23:28And a consonant.
23:30P.
23:31And a vowel.
23:34U.
23:35And another vowel, please.
23:37O.
23:40And a consonant, please.
23:43R.
23:46And a consonant, please.
23:51And the last one, S.
23:52And here's the countdown clock.
23:55T.
24:23Yes, Ben?
24:28I've got a risky eight.
24:31Phil?
24:31Seven.
24:33And that seven?
24:34Posture.
24:35Posture.
24:36How risky is this?
24:38Very.
24:39Wipeouts.
24:41Yes, wipeouts are in the dictionary.
24:44Falls, if you fall off a surfboard, that's a wipeout.
24:47So you can have several of those.
24:49Or what it means is to be overwhelmingly defeated by something.
24:51Very good.
24:53Very good.
24:57Yeah.
24:5858 to 71.
25:00Susie, your origins of words.
25:03I'm going to take a slightly different tack today in honour of Janet
25:06because you were talking about superfoods and clean eating
25:11and whether or not that's such a good idea.
25:13So I thought I would look at the origin of the phrase,
25:16you are what you eat, which is a bit of a mantra these days
25:19and probably very, very true as well.
25:21It's actually linked with Kellogg's Corn Flakes, believe it or not.
25:25Kellogg's Corn Flakes was founded as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company.
25:31And that was founded in 1906 by Will Keith and John Harvey Kellogg,
25:36who was the most famous one, obviously.
25:38And they were very much influenced by Seventh-day Adventist principles, if you like, and beliefs.
25:43They'd worked together the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, hence the name.
25:48And that was a really popular health resort that had fairly radical ideas about how to keep healthy.
25:54So they promoted good diets, which I've come to, but also frequent enemas to cleanse the body.
26:02But as far as their diet was concerned, it was low fat, low protein as well at that point,
26:07and fibre-rich foods supplemented by grains.
26:10So nothing, I suppose, particularly radical there.
26:13But in addition to the diet, they also promoted various physiological therapies for the mind and the body as well.
26:20So hydrotherapy, for example, electrotherapy also.
26:24There was an advert for the Kellogg Food Company in 1909,
26:28which is what the Battle Creek Company eventually became,
26:32bringing the sanitarium direct to you.
26:33You can't have good health without good blood.
26:36You can't have good blood if you don't eat right food.
26:39Nature works through the stomach.
26:40You are what you eat, get the stomach right, and everything is right.
26:45And people who had stayed at the sanitarium and followed this diet
26:49actually went on to found their own breakfast cereal companies
26:51and also enclosed little booklets, little secret tips as to how to eat clean in their own cereal boxes,
26:59which all goes to show that clean eating and healthful living didn't start in this century.
27:03It all goes all the way back to breakfast cereals in the early 1900s.
27:10All right, so 68 to Ben 71.
27:15Phil trading a little bit.
27:16Phil, your letters game.
27:18Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
27:20Thank you, Phil.
27:20M.
27:22And a vowel.

27:25Consonant.

27:28Vowel.

27:32Consonant.

27:36Another consonant.
27:38N.
27:40Vowel, please.
27:41O.
27:43Consonant, please.
27:45D.
27:47And a final consonant.
27:49And a final V.
27:52Countdown.
27:52C.
27:53we'll see you soon.
28:18See you soon.
28:19Bye.
28:19Bye.
28:21Bye.
28:23Yes, Phil?
28:24Seven.
28:24A seven, Ben?
28:25Seven.
28:26Phil?
28:27Deacons.
28:28And?
28:29Yeah, Deacons as well.
28:30There we go.
28:31Two Deacons over here.
28:33Any more?
28:33Well, we've got a seven.
28:35Demons.
28:36D-A-E-M-O-N-S.
28:37Oh, the L spelling.
28:38Demons.
28:39Very good.
28:40Susie?
28:40It's Nomads for six.
28:42I like Nomads.
28:42Nomads.
28:43Well done.
28:45So, 78 to 75.
28:47Three points in it.
28:48Ben, final letters came for you.
28:50Could I start with a consonant, please?
28:53Thank you, Ben.
28:54T.
28:55And a vowel, please?
28:57U.
28:58And another vowel, please?
29:00E.
29:02And a consonant?
29:04S.
29:06And a consonant, please?
29:09D.
29:12Let's have a vowel, then.
29:15I.
29:17I'm sorry.
29:18A fixed accent, Tuesday.
29:22And a vowel, please?
29:25A.
29:29And a consonant?
29:32R.
29:35And a final consonant, please?
29:39And a final S.
29:42And the clock starts right now.
29:44I'm sorry.
30:06Ben.
30:17Just a six.
30:18And Phil?
30:19Eight.
30:20And an eight, Ben.
30:22Suited.
30:24Phil?
30:25Disaster.
30:26Very good.
30:27Disaster.
30:28Wow.
30:31You're done.
30:3383 plays 78.
30:35Getting interesting.
30:37And in the corner, Janet and Susie?
30:40Well, we've got radiuses.
30:44Very good.
30:45Can be radii.
30:46Yeah.
30:46But this will get you to eight radiuses.
30:48It'll do.
30:48Let's go for that one then, shall we?
30:5083, as I say, to 78.
30:52And into the final numbers game.
30:55Wow.
30:55Phil?
30:57Good luck.
30:57Close run thing.
30:58Can I have two large ones and four small, please?
31:00You can.
31:01Last chance to avoid another crucial conundrum for Ben,
31:04which has done well for him so far.
31:06Let's see.
31:06The final game of the day.
31:08Eight.
31:08Ten.
31:09Another ten.
31:11Four.

31:43One.
31:43One.
31:44One.
31:44Four.
31:46One.
31:48One.
31:50Yes, Phil.
31:551, 3, 0.
31:56And?
31:57Yeah, 1, 3, 0.
31:59Let's do it.
32:00Phil?
32:00100 plus 50, minus 10, minus 10.
32:03There we go.
32:04Yes.
32:05So what we have here at 93 to 88, Phil on 93,
32:09is a crucial conundrum, another crucial conundrum.
32:13Deep breath, lads.
32:15Fingers on buzzers.
32:16Let's roll this crucial countdown conundrum.
32:20No, it's all right.
32:23I got it wrong.
32:24Yeah, yeah.
32:25Down to you, Phil.
32:29Phil?
32:30Bamboozle.
32:31Bamboozle?
32:32Let's see whether you're right.
32:36Bamboozle.
32:36Wow.
32:43Well done.
32:46When did you know you had got it wrong?
32:49Just within seconds of buzzing.
32:51So I thought it was emblazoned.
32:53Emblazoned.
32:54And then I realised there wasn't an N in it.
32:55Well, two quick ones, no.
32:57But you've done so well on those crucial conundrums.
32:59Fantastic.
33:00Today wasn't your day.
33:01But I tell you what, you've been a great player.
