00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown. It's Wednesday afternoon and we are all set for random letters, random numbers and random chat from now until the end of the programme. How are you doing, Rachel?
00:41I'm used to that with you, Colin.
00:42Well, today in history is Disney-tastic. On this day in 1940, Fantasia was released. On this day in 1997, The Lion King was released. This day in 1999, Toy Story 2 was released.
00:56OK. And after you not knowing the Hunger Games earlier in the week, I know that you know you're Disney. So it's quiz time.
01:03I like a quiz.
01:04I am going to bring in Susie Dent and Angela Scanlon because I've lifted the tariff off a bit because you know you're Disney.
01:11But we can all name the main characters. But can you name the Disney movie if I name the lesser characters?
01:20OK.
01:20They're all huge.
01:22OK.
01:22But what if I don't mention the big...
01:24Up in the ante.
01:25Here we go. So first one to shout it out.
01:27What's the... What Disney films had a police... Unless it's an animal.
01:41It's a good place to go. It's a good place to go. Think, think. It's not a cartoon.
01:45It's very poppin'.
01:45Yeah!
01:47You know what? With quizzes, you're fairly laid back. As soon as I bring in Dictionary Corner, the beast comes out of you.
01:53Here we go. Razul, Ghazim and Prince Ahmed.
01:58It's going to be Aladdin.
01:58Aladdin, yes!
02:00Don't watch these backwards.
02:03Ed, Banzai and Shenzi.
02:06Moulan.
02:07No.
02:08Is it going to be an animal's one? Like Aristocrats?
02:09Lion King, then.
02:10No, Lion King, Susie.
02:12I'll just keep saying Lion King until it's all over.
02:15They're the three hyenas.
02:17They're the three hyenas.
02:19Right.
02:19Well, consider yourselves introduced.
02:21I'm moving straight on to our champion, Logan Skelton.
02:25Two wins and 114 in your second one, which means you're now averaging 102.
02:34Now, you're a customer services assistant, but you want to work in sports commentary, right?
02:39Yeah, I do.
02:40Actually, every Monday, I am in a league of, like, eSports Formula One racing.
02:46Yes.
02:46And I do that every week.
02:48I'm not that good, honestly.
02:49I'm definitely no Martin Tyler or David Croft or Alex Jack, but it would be a lovely thing to do in the future.
02:58But I don't think I'm that level yet.
03:00Listen, you're so young.
03:01There's plenty of miles ahead for you in Formula One commentary.
03:05Well, Logan, you're up against Matt Parry today, who prefers his football.
03:11He's a big Everton fan.
03:13But I just want to just have a Matt-Rachel exam-off here.
03:18Right, here we go.
03:18Because I actually do not know this answer for Rachel.
03:23You passed your GCSE maths when you were...
03:26I was 12.
03:26Just 12.
03:28All right, so that means Rachel must be 10 or something, right?
03:31No, I just took it with everyone else at 16.
03:34Unbelievable.
03:35I believe you kept retaking it until you got, like, an A star or something.
03:39Yeah, so we got an A when I was 14 and then an A star at 16.
03:42Yes, come on.
03:43Plenty of practice.
03:44Plenty of practice.
03:45It all adds up to two great mathematicians here.
03:49They've been so good at the numbers.
03:50So let's keep that going.
03:52Logan and Matt, good luck.
03:56Logan, let's go.
03:57Hello again, Rachel.
03:58Hi, Logan.
03:58Let's start for constant, please.
04:00Start today with W.
04:03And a second.
04:05T.
04:06And a third.
04:08N.
04:09And a vowel.
04:11I.
04:12And another vowel.
04:14E.
04:15And a third.
04:17U.
04:19And a consonant.
04:21M.
04:23And another consonant.
04:25L.
04:25And a vowel, please.
04:30And a final E.
04:32At home and in the studio.
04:33Let's play Countdown.
04:34That's it.
04:41Hey.
04:46And a هنا.
04:53That's what we're all about.
04:54Seems like.
04:55You're going to be electrician.
04:55If you're going to be electrician.
04:56You're going to be electrician.
04:57It's only one or two.
04:58Even if they're electrician.
04:59There's more than one.
04:59My vocative.
05:00twist comes into space.
05:02And a performer.
05:02Logan, how many?
05:05Just a six.
05:06And Matt?
05:06A risky six.
05:07A risky six.
05:08Logan?
05:09Lumen?
05:10And for Matt?
05:11Untile.
05:12To untile a bathroom.
05:14Hmm.
05:15I don't know if you can physically untie it.
05:17You can't, unfortunately.
05:19And Logan, Lumen, how are you spelling that?
05:21L-U-M-I-N-E.
05:23Yeah, and that is not in either, I'm afraid.
05:27Well, I'll rub it in with a three net.
05:28What about you?
05:29Have you got a four?
05:30Four, mule?
05:31Yes.
05:31Or we have eluent, six.
05:34Eluent is a fluid used to elute or draw out a substance in chemistry.
05:39Minuet, a bit more obvious, a minute.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Let's have another half a minute then.
05:43Matt, your letters.
05:44Hi, Rachel.
05:45Hi, Matt.
05:45Can I get a consonant, please?
05:46You can, indeed.
05:48P.
05:49And a vowel.
05:51I.
05:52And another.
05:53A.
05:54And another.
05:56O.
05:57And a consonant, please.
05:59Y.
06:00And another.
06:02B.
06:03And another.
06:04H.
06:06And another one.
06:08N.
06:09And a final vowel, please.
06:12Final E.
06:13And 30 seconds.
06:14And a consonant.
06:32Isn't that great?
06:36MUSIC PLAYS
06:44Matt? Just a five. And Logan? Six.
06:48The five? Piano. And the six?
06:51Phony. And let's see if we're going up the stairs here,
06:53if we can get a seven next to your corner.
06:55No, we didn't get a seven, but phony is absolutely fine with the E.
06:58Definitely there for six.
07:00We haven't put hip bone together yet, have we?
07:02I was wondering about that myself, and I don't think so. No.
07:06Two words. OK, first points on the board then for Logan,
07:10and you're picking these numbers.
07:12Let's go with two large, please, Rachel.
07:15Yes, it's harder to know what to choose against a mathematician.
07:19Two large, four little. Give it a try.
07:21And they are six, three, two, one.
07:25And the large two, 150.
07:27And the target, 300.
07:31Talk amongst yourselves, 300.
07:36For rounds like this, you should be allowed to bring a magazine.
08:06That's what I think. Right, 300, Logan.
08:10Yes, 300.
08:11And Matt?
08:11Just about.
08:12Not written down.
08:14Right, off you go, Logan.
08:15I've got it in big writing here.
08:17100 times three.
08:18Yes.
08:19And for you, Matt?
08:20Two out of one, it's three.
08:21There you go.
08:22Well done.
08:23Well done.
08:25Look at that.
08:26Not amused at all.
08:27Right, let's get our tea time teaser.
08:29Eve Gelds.
08:30Eve Gelds.
08:31It's common in the textile industry.
08:33The greengrocer does it all the time.
08:35It's common in the textile industry.
08:37The greengrocer does it all the time.
08:39The greengrocer does it all the time.
09:00And selvedge, which is very clever.
09:02But its edge is in the edge of a cliff.
09:04And I don't know about selvedge connected to textiles.
09:08Yes.
09:08So it has got a meaning in geology, but it's mostly used within textiles.
09:11And it's an edge that you get on woven fabric that stops it unravelling.
09:15All right, there you go.
09:16There you go.
09:17Right.
09:18Matt, you have not unravelled at all.
09:19You have 10 points in the bank, just six behind Logan.
09:22And it's your letters.
09:22Could I start with a consonant, please?
09:24Thank you, Matt.
09:26S.
09:27And another.
09:28P.
09:30And one more.
09:32T.
09:33And a vowel, please.
09:35A.
09:36And another.
09:38U.
09:39And a consonant, please.
09:41G.
09:42And another.
09:44M.
09:45And one more.
09:48D.
09:49And a final vowel, please.
09:51And a final I.
09:53And let's go.
09:54MUSIC PLAYS
10:21Matt.
10:25Just a five.
10:26Logan.
10:27A seven.
10:28Going to try a seven.
10:29Matt.
10:30Maids.
10:30What have you spotted, Logan?
10:32Stadium.
10:33Oh, my goodness, mate.
10:35Well done.
10:36Excellent.
10:36We were all floundering about with fives, and then there's stadium.
10:40Clear as day, now you've said it.
10:42Can we add anything at all?
10:43Audits for six.
10:45Audits for six.
10:45But the seven steals the show.
10:47Fantastic.
10:49More letters, please, Logan.
10:51All right, let's start with a vowel, please, Rachel.
10:53Thank you, Logan.
10:54P.
10:55And another.
10:57O.
10:57And a consonant.
11:00S.
11:00And another.
11:02N.
11:04And a third.
11:06Z.
11:08And a vowel.
11:10E.
11:12And another vowel.
11:14I.
11:16A consonant.
11:18R.
11:20And a consonant, please.
11:23Lastly, N.
11:24N it is, and here we go.
11:26N it is, and here we go.
11:55And that's time, Logan.
11:58I'll try a six.
11:59And for Matt.
12:00Yeah, six.
12:01Six as well.
12:02All right, what's a six?
12:03Sinner.
12:04And for you, Matt.
12:05Yeah, sinner.
12:06Same again.
12:07Fair enough.
12:07Six points, eights, and stealing the show here.
12:10Dictionary Corner, Angela.
12:11Nosier.
12:13Or re-zones at seven.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Always more impressive when you use the Z as well,
12:20and it was the top word.
12:21Brilliant, brilliant stuff.
12:22Let's go back to the numbers now, and Matt.
12:24Just one large, please, Rachel.
12:26One large for five little.
12:28I reckon we're going to have some tactics with your next numbers picks,
12:31but let's see what we have now.
12:32The little one's nine.
12:34Three.
12:35Eight.
12:36Ten.
12:37Two.
12:38And the big one, 100.
12:40And the target, 599.
12:43599 numbers up.
12:54Not quite 300, but not a kick in the backside off.
13:18How did you get on, Matt?
13:19Yeah, 599.
13:20Yeah, and Logan?
13:21Yeah, it's 599.
13:22For you two, this was child's play.
13:23Off you go, Matt.
13:24So, eight minus two is six.
13:26Eight minus two is six.
13:28Times the hundred.
13:29600.
13:30And then ten minus nine is one.
13:33Marginally harder than the 300.
13:35Logan?
13:36Yeah, I think I've got the same way.
13:38I scored it out by accident.
13:39But there, eight times two is six.
13:41Yeah, yeah.
13:41Matt didn't pass his GCSE at 12 for this type of thing.
13:49Right, let's have our third chat of the week with Angela Scanlon,
13:53who we're loving in Dictionary Corner.
13:54Faze does not feel like your first week at all.
13:56It's the cord, I think.
13:59I can barely see you.
14:01Studio's that big.
14:02I never know who's in Dictionary Corner until Susie tells me.
14:04We were talking about Gary Barno having to leave set
14:09when you were doing the one show.
14:11Richard Altman, who's also at Dictionary Corner.
14:13Yes.
14:13Favourite.
14:15But I think, infamous is the word I would use,
14:19is a Robot Wars moment that you had
14:22in which somebody else left the set.
14:25Yeah, I'm going to say it was series three.
14:28And Robot Wars, you know, for anyone who hasn't seen it,
14:31is a, like, joyous, destructive entertainment show.
14:36And what it made, you know, grown men weep,
14:39and this one particular guy was up against a little girl
14:42and her dad with a robot called, I want to say Glitterbot,
14:46and, yeah, they...
14:49She took them down,
14:51and he was very upset, I would say,
14:56about the judgement call
14:58and did not enjoy the gentle ribbing after the battle.
15:04And so he chucked his thing down
15:07and exited the building.
15:10Wow, what do you do in that situation?
15:12Nothing you can't do.
15:13It's good TV.
15:14It's great TV.
15:15I mean, there's a video that's going,
15:16oh, this is absolute gold.
15:17That's what you want, you know?
15:19So, but, yeah, just a glorious show.
15:22There's so few instances where you can, like,
15:24take such joy out of things being smashed to bits.
15:29Yeah.
15:29Well, I could certainly thank...
15:31I'm tempting fate here, right?
15:33Because I'm going to say I've never had a contestant
15:35storm off countdown since I've been sitting here.
15:38Say we are.
15:39I mean, not a contestant, but, you know.
15:41It could happen.
15:42I mean, I'm lifelong Liverpool.
15:43I've got tattoos, and I've got a blue nose to my right.
15:46He might storm off.
15:47You're in trouble.
15:48Listen, let's be honest.
15:50They don't stay in cups that long.
15:52So, let's see what happens.
15:55Only joking.
15:55Brilliant.
15:56Thank you, Angela.
15:59I love you, Matt.
16:00Let's get back to the game.
16:01But, Logan, your letters.
16:02A contestant, please, Rachel.
16:04Thank you, Logan.
16:05T.
16:07A contestant.
16:08C.
16:09And a third.
16:11S.
16:12And a fourth.
16:14P.
16:16And a vowel.
16:17A.
16:19And another vowel.
16:20E.
16:22And a consonant.
16:24G.
16:26And a vowel.
16:28O.
16:29And a final consonant.
16:31A final R.
16:32And start the clock again.
16:34And a vowel.
16:37Go, go.
16:38Go.
16:50Boom.
16:51Go, go.
16:52Go.
16:52Logan? Eight. And Matt? I'll try an eight, not written down.
17:09What have you not written down? Sportage. Sportage. And what have you written down?
17:13At the S-E-N, portages. Susie? Yes, I wish there was portage. It's not in the dictionary, sadly.
17:19Portages. Bit of a countdown word, this one. To portage is to carry a boat between navigable waters.
17:25That's all we're carrying, I reckon, Angela, yeah?
17:28Potagers. Potagers. Eight. Or escargot.
17:32Very good round. Excellent, excellent. And we go to more letters now with Matt.
17:38Could I start with a consonant, please? Thank you, Matt. L. And another.
17:44T. And one more. C.
17:49And a vowel, please. E. And another. U. And another. I.
17:57And a consonant, please. D. And one more.
18:03F. And the final vowel, please. And a final O.
18:08Thank you. And here we go.
18:10F. And a consonant, please.
18:11Transcription by CastingWords
18:41That's time, Matt. I'll try a risky eight.
18:44I like your style. And Logan?
18:46I'm going to stick with a seven.
18:48These decisions are everything, like I was saying. Logan?
18:51Clouted. Come on, Matt Parry.
18:53Out-filed. Out-filed.
18:57Filed can mean many things.
18:59It's not there.
19:01Come on. And Matt, you might be about to really kick yourself.
19:05Why? Because you can turn it round a little bit, can't you?
19:08Out-field.
19:09Out-field. Oh, no.
19:11It's in the outfield. Yes, in cricket.
19:13It's better away from the wicket.
19:15And baseball now, come on.
19:18Matt, you struck out,
19:19but I love the way you're swinging the bat.
19:22It is.
19:2354 to a great champion,
19:25Logan. Matt's on 26.
19:27We're still in this game, let me tell you.
19:29And Logan, it's your numbers.
19:30Two large, please, Rachel.
19:31Thank you, Logan.
19:32Two from the top and four not.
19:36And for the third time today,
19:37your selection is seven.
19:39Ten.
19:40Two.
19:41One.
19:42And the big two.
19:4225.
19:43Add 50.
19:45And the target?
19:46121.
19:47What a day.
19:48One, two, one.

20:15222.
20:15242.
20:17222.
20:17222.
20:18All right, Logan.
20:211, 2, 1. And Matt. 1, 2, 1.
20:23It'll be 30 points out of 30 for both of you.
20:25But to be fair, a lot of us are in the same boat. Logan.
20:2850 plus 10 is 60. 60.
20:31Multiply by 2. 120. Add the 1.
20:34We have two of the best mathematicians in a long time
20:36and we get this, Trash.
20:37No, Matt. Yeah, same way.
20:39There you go.
20:40APPLAUSE
20:43Well, I mean, with one more to go,
20:45and if that was as easy as the first three,
20:47it'd be hard to beat that in the history of Countdown.
20:49I'll be going on strike.
20:50Oh, my goodness. She's... She's livid.
20:53That's not... She's not putting that on.
20:54She gets physically angry with the numbers of this easy.
20:57What about the fourth one? We'll find out when we come back.
21:00But here's your tea-time teaser.
21:01Wordvine. Wordvine.
21:04Inadvertently, you stop the hands of time.
21:06Inadvertently, you stop the hands of time.
21:17Overwind. The hands of time never stop on Countdown until we say so.
21:34Logan and Matt, here we go. Six rounds to go.
21:37And Matt Parry, our challenger from Liverpool, choosing these letters.
21:40Could I go with a consonant, please?
21:41Thank you, Matt.
21:42S.
21:43And another.
21:45M.
21:47And another.
21:49T.
21:50And a vowel, please.
21:52U.
21:53And another.
21:55E.
21:56And a third.
21:58A.
21:59And a fourth.
22:01O.
22:03And a consonant, please.
22:05R.
22:06And a final consonant, please.
22:08A final B.
22:10Good luck.
22:11Well, then, think about you.
22:14Margaret.
22:15Maybe this is a aquatic man.
22:15It might not be a말ing tool.
22:17Okay, thanks.
22:18Leaders, Mark.
22:19We're waiting to be managed by Billy Gilmore Centre.
22:20So we will find another Verb, you know what?
22:21It's a different habit.
22:22And when it goes into the first place, we'll have moreübererte.
22:23But we have been at it livestream-in
22:40Matt? It's another risky eighth. Go for it. Logan?
22:45Safe eight. Matt? Outsmear.
22:49Outsmear? Oh, that's a really vicious word if it's there.
22:53And Logan? Saboteur.
22:56Saboteur and outsmear, a little bit of a connection. Right.
22:59Yes, we haven't seen saboteur, so that's definitely in the dictionary.
23:02I'm so sorry to say, but outsmear is not.
23:05I believe the Matt Parry dictionary is about a year away.
23:08And I will be buying it because I'm loving these words.
23:12Right, saboteur for the points. Angela, is that as good as it gets?
23:17Bromates out of eight. Yeah.
23:19And tambours? Yes, more drums.
23:22Yeah, the drums. The drums, the drums, yeah.
23:25All right, he's doubled your score at the moment.
23:2872-36 with all these gambles, but we're loving it.
23:32Logan, more letters.
23:34Can I have a consonant, please? Thank you, Logan.
23:36Yes.
23:38And another?
23:40L
23:41And a third?
23:43T
23:44And a vowel?
23:47E
23:47And another?
23:49I
23:49And another?
23:52E
23:53And a consonant?
23:56N
23:57And another?
24:00D
24:01And a final vowel, please.
24:05Final U.
24:06And let's play.
24:07Let's play.
24:07Let's play.
24:07Let's play.
24:08And another vowel, please.
24:09I guess you can't talk about it.
24:10Let's go.
24:10And let's build up.
24:15Let's play.
24:16Yeah.
24:17Let's play.
24:18And let's play.
24:19And the rhymes again.
24:21And then other?
24:21And the answer is,
24:21is it?
24:24tune in.
24:25And then.
24:25Is there?
24:26I don't think through the country.
24:28And then?
24:29It won't grow.
24:29And it's like,
24:30it's like we're gonna have to go away.
24:30I don't know.
24:31And the void is like me.
24:32I owe you the name.
24:33But then you want to know it?
24:33I do not know it.
24:33That will hear you the answer,
24:34but you have to know it is what I do not know it is.
24:34How many, Logan?
24:39Eight.
24:39And for you, Matt?
24:40Just a seven.
24:41The seven is?
24:42Untiled.
24:43Untiled.
24:44For seven, you've added the D on the untiled from earlier, right?
24:48If at first.
24:49Logan?
24:50Listened.
24:51I can see why you might have tried the D at the end of untiled,
24:54but it's not in.
24:55I apologise.
24:57And later on in the programme, Colin, I've got a nine.
25:00Untile-iest, untile-iest.
25:01Keep going, why not?
25:03Angela?
25:04Enlisted.
25:07Yeah.
25:07At eight as well.
25:08Listened, of course, in there.
25:10Yeah.
25:10Nice.
25:11Both eights.
25:11Lovely show, lovely show.
25:13Four rounds to go, and Susie's origins of words.
25:16Yes.
25:17This question today comes from Annie Coombs in North Wales,
25:21and she asks if I can explain the origins of to tell a corny joke,
25:25to beef about a problem, and to be chicken about doing something.
25:30So three good ones, Annie.
25:32Thank you for those.
25:33So I'm going to start with a corny joke.
25:35So there are two theories here, but they kind of come together, really.
25:39One is that a corny, sort of, you know, really cheesy joke
25:43was one that first appeared in corn catalogues,
25:46and these were regularly sold across the US to farmers
25:49in the mid-20th century and before.
25:52So that's one theory, and the other is simply that it was thought
25:56that country bumpkins could not tell a good joke.
25:59And it is part of the whole looking down on hicks, bumpkins,
26:05you know, all the words that were associated with people who were rural
26:08and therefore not considered to be sophisticated,
26:10hence a joke would be associated with the farmers.
26:13Yes, that's where that one comes from.
26:15Now, beefing about a problem is another one that Annie asks about.
26:18And if you have a beef about something, in other words,
26:22you've just got some grievance or complaint.
26:24Now, there is a lovely story, which I do subscribe to,
26:28that was put across by the king of slang, Jonathan Green,
26:31who's written the OED of slang.
26:33And he had discovered that in the streets of London,
26:37if your pocket was picked, you would shout out hot beef, hot beef,
26:42which was rhyming slang for stop thief,
26:45and it would resound around London.
26:47And the idea was that you had a grievance
26:49against the person who had picked your pocket.
26:52The only trouble with that is that the earliest dates that we have
26:55of having a beef about something or beefing is from America.
26:58So it would have had to travel very quickly,
27:00but it's a brilliant story and it's the best account we have so far
27:03of why we might have a beef as a grievance.
27:06And finally, chickening out.
27:08Now, domestic fowl have been associated with cowardice for centuries.
27:13They used to be hen-hearted if you were particularly timid,
27:17perhaps because roosters were considered to be the pluckier one
27:20and hens were therefore thought to be a little bit more withdrawn.
27:24But it is part of a whole kind of animal lexicon, really,
27:28in which we ascribe certain characteristics to certain animals.
27:31And some of them are really unfair.
27:33The pigs, noticeably, we talk about pigging out,
27:35we associate pigs with being sort of really slovenly and lazy.
27:39In fact, they're incredibly clean.
27:40They keep their toilet area away from their feeding area.
27:43And the only reason they love mud is apparently
27:45because they don't have sweat glands, so they keep cool that way.
27:48But they are actually very clean animals.
27:50And I think the same for our chickens.
27:51I think we need to love our chickens and our pigs
27:54a little bit more than we do.
27:55Absolutely. We put rats in the list, you know.
27:57They didn't bring the plague.
27:58You love rats.
27:59Well, they didn't bring the plague here.
28:00That's a myth.
28:01No, and they don't rattle on other people either.
28:04Yeah, exactly.
28:04As far as we know.
28:05Exactly. That's lovely.
28:06Three for the price of one in that Origins Awards.
28:12Four rounds to go.
28:13Get this one in for us, Matt.
28:14Could I get a consonant, please?
28:16Thank you, Matt.
28:17Q.
28:17And another.

28:35And another.
28:37S.
28:39And a final vowel, please.
28:40A final A.
28:42And countdown.
28:43And another.
29:08A final vowel.
29:09Matt Parry.
29:14I'll try seven.
29:15And Logan Skelton.
29:17Yeah, I can only see a six.
29:19The six is, Logan?
29:20Polars.
29:21And here we go.
29:22We're on board again with Matt Parry.
29:25What have we got?
29:26Paroles.
29:26Very good indeed.
29:27Yeah.
29:31Love it.
29:33Absolutely love it.
29:34And we're acting like Matt's, you know, trailing by loads of points.
29:37He's on 43 already.
29:38He's doing very well.
29:40Gets a really good shot.
29:41And Paroles, there you go.
29:42Bang the rights.
29:43What else have we got?
29:45Parasol.
29:46A parasol.
29:46At seven as well.
29:47Yeah.
29:48Nice.
29:4980-43.
29:51Let's get our last letters round.
29:52Logan.
29:53I can have a consonant, please.
29:54Thank you, Logan.
29:56J.
29:57And another.
29:59K.
30:00Ooh.
30:00And another.
30:03N.
30:04And a vowel.
30:06I.
30:07And a second.
30:08A.
30:09And another.
30:11O.
30:12And a fourth.
30:14E.
30:17And a fifth.

30:20And we've got to have a final consonant.
30:23A final L.
30:24And last letters.
30:25And last letters.
30:25And last letters.
30:25Okay.
30:26And this time is a, you know,
30:27we've got to have a other woman on.
30:28MUSIC CONTINUES
30:58Yeah, six. Six as well. More points. Logan?
31:01Junkie. Excellent. And Matt?
31:02Yeah, same word. There you go.
31:05Countdown junkies, the pair of you.
31:06Six points, eight. Can we better it, though,
31:09Angela Scanlon? Seven
31:11unalike.
31:13There you go. Last numbers.
31:15Matt? I'll go
31:16four large. Make your day, Rachel. Four large.
31:18We're not going to have a really, really easy one. This is going to take
31:20more than three seconds. Come on.
31:22Come on, an easy one. We need to work for at least 29.
31:25The little ones. Ten and
31:26three. And the big four. 75.
31:2950. 125.
31:32150.
31:33And the target, 445.
31:36445. Numbers up.
31:37100%.
31:42And the target, 435.
31:44515.
31:44The target, 565.
31:46Now, go.
31:46515.
31:47And the target, 517.
31:541005.
31:544-4-5, Matt.
32:094-4-4.
32:11One away, and Logan?
32:124-4-5.
32:13For the ten points, we've separated you in the numbers.
32:16100 plus 50 is 150.
32:18150.
32:19Times 3 is 450.
32:21Yep.
32:22Then you do 75 minus 25 is 50.
32:24Over ten.
32:27Here's your five.
32:28And take it off 450.
32:29There we go.
32:30That was a bit more work, wasn't it?
32:33Definitely more difficult than the first three rounds.
32:35That was crazy today on those numbers.
32:38Well, look at this.
32:38We're at 96.49.
32:40It's been a lovely afternoon.
32:41So let's keep it going as we reveal, with fingers on the buzzers, please,
32:46Wednesday's Countdown Conundrum.
32:52Logan, for another century.
32:54Contested.
32:54Yes, have a look.
32:57APPLAUSE
32:57Wonderful.
33:00Wonderful.
33:00I love these risks.
33:02Let's add that on for you.
33:041.06 to add your 1.14.
33:06Yesterday, your 90 in your first win.
33:08But, Matt, a 49.
33:10Loads of giggles.
33:12Absolutely adored having you here.
33:13Thank you so much for being in the programme.
33:15There'll be no storming off like Robot Wars.
33:18Yeah.
33:18But I've had a great day.
33:19Thanks for having me.
33:20If you need to use the bathroom before you go home, it's just out there.
33:24It's the tiled one.
33:25It's the tiled one.
33:25Yeah, exactly.
33:26You can't miss it.
33:26Got it.
33:27I've got to stop.
33:29Logan, brilliant.
33:30We take our hats off to you again and we'll see you tomorrow, mate.
33:32See you tomorrow.
33:33You too, Angela and Susie.
33:34Yeah, see you then.
33:36And listen, as these two were rubbish at Disney, you just get the last one all to yourself.
33:40Now, this is really difficult though, so it's okay if you don't get it.
33:42This is bit part characters in a big Disney movie and I don't know whether, would your
33:48kids have watched this?
33:49I think so.
33:50Lucius Best, Mirage, Syndrome and Rick Dicker.
33:58I'll give you a little clue.
34:00Inside Out.
34:01I thought you were going to say it.
34:02Oh.
34:03If I gave you the main characters, they would all have the same surname.
34:09Because they're a family.
34:10In a very special family.
34:12The Incredibles.
34:14The Incredibles, yes!
34:18Very good indeed.
34:20Very good indeed.
34:21Right, and we are all done for today.
34:23We will wish upon another Countdown, same time, same place tomorrow.
34:26You can count on us.
