00:30Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on the start of British Science Week.
00:37An important week, too. Events, lectures, all sorts of things all over the country.
00:42Vitally important to really engage with young people in science and engineering.
00:47And sadly, in my limited experience, engineering in this country is not viewed as highly as it is in continental Europe,
00:56where French engineers are just top of the tree, but not so much here.
01:00Anyway, this year, the British Science Association is teaming up with Eurotunnel to celebrate 25 years since that wonderful engineering project was completed.
01:12Of course, I remember all the to-do about the tunnel.
01:15People say, you can't put a tunnel under the channel.
01:17They'll be full of rabid foxes heading our way.
01:20They'll be accused of dogs that want to get in.
01:23It's all nonsense. We've had none of it.
01:25And it's been a fantastic success.
01:27Here are some statistics.
01:29For instance, it took five years to complete and involved 13,000 engineers, technicians and workers.
01:35One of the great boring machines, because remember, the French had one and we had one.
01:39They sort of met in the middle.
01:40They were too big to get out.
01:41So they sort of said, come here, to the boring machine.
01:44They put it in a little lay-by and filled it in.
01:46And they're down there now saying, when are we going to be freed?
01:49And the answer is, they're never going to be freed.
01:51What else happened?
01:53The equivalent of six times the British population has gone under the channel.
01:57That would be about 360 million people.
01:59Fantastic.
02:01I never go there, because it's too far out of the way.
02:03But how about you?
02:05Are you hurtling underneath the channel?
02:09Not frequently, but right by where I live, they're building Crossrail.
02:13So it's another of the similar kind of projects.
02:15I think they've got eight of those big boring machines, and they're boring 26 miles worth of tunnels.
02:20And each one of these machines actually weighs 1,000 tons.
02:24It's an incredible feat of engineering.
02:25And that's, well, it's been delayed and delayed and delayed.
02:28And hopefully 2019 is the year.
02:30So at some point, we'll be able to get from one side to the other side of London a lot quicker.
02:34But, yeah, 15 billion pounds it's cost, apparently.
02:37But when's it that opening?
02:39This year or next year?
02:40It's supposed to be this autumn.
02:41Yep.
02:42Excellent.
02:42I've had it on my calendar for a while now.
02:43Well done.
02:44All right.
02:45Well done.
02:46Thanks, Rachel.
02:46Now, Maggie Barlow back.
02:49You've secured your teapot, but don't relax.
02:52You came through on a crucial conundrum.
02:54How are you feeling today?
02:55I'm feeling fine, Nick.
02:58It was a close one yesterday, but...
03:00It was.
03:01The lead changed several times, but you came through in the end.
03:04And Maggie, a retired librarian from Lutterworth in Leicestershire.
03:08Welcome back, Maggie.
03:10Welcome back.
03:10And you're joined by Julia Wilkinson, appropriately, maybe, bearing in mind it's British Science Week.
03:17You're a science teacher, a retired one, from Southampton.
03:20Yes.
03:21That's right.
03:22And, of course, a Chelsea supporter, you were telling me.
03:24Yes, but today I'm wearing red in honour of Rachel.
03:27Otherwise, you'll get into trouble.
03:29All right.
03:30Well, look, good luck to you both, Julia and Maggie.
03:32Big round of applause for our competitors.
03:41And over in the corner there, Susie, of course, and next to her, TV and radio presenter,
03:46an all-round good sport and daring lady, Helen Fosborough.
03:50Welcome back, Helen.
03:50Maggie, you know how it works.
03:58Off we go.
04:00Good afternoon, Rachel.
04:01Good afternoon, Maggie.
04:02Start with a consonant, please.
04:04Start with D.

04:56Maggie?
05:06Just six there, Nick.
05:08Julia?
05:09Only five.
05:10And your five?
05:11Sighted.
05:14Deceit.
05:15Now in the corner then, Helen?
05:17There was a word that sounds to me like it could be an engineering word,
05:20but perhaps it isn't.
05:22Geodetic?
05:23It's for eight.
05:24I'm not sure what it means.
05:26It's related to geodesy,
05:30which is the branch of maths dealing with the shape and area of the earth,
05:34or large portions of the earth.
05:36There you go.
05:36Well done.
05:39I've done six.
05:40Julia, you've got to score lots of time for that.
05:42Maybe this one.
05:44Letters game.

08:56I left with the clue,
08:57so if the girl wants a cosy night in,

10:33And in the corner, what have we got?
10:34Helen.
10:35And pavia as well, which was another six.
10:37I don't think we got more than a six.
10:39No.
10:4113 plays 29.
10:43Now, Maggie, it's your letters game.

11:57Milkiest?
11:58Yes.
11:59Well done.
11:59Very, very good.
12:03Well done.
12:05Well played on that.
12:06Helen?
12:07If you rearrange those letters, you get missed like as well, which would give you another eight.
12:12Very good.
12:14Very good.
12:1437 to 13.
12:16Julia, here we go.
12:17It's your numbers game.
12:19Could I have two large and four small, please?
12:22Of course you can.
12:22Thank you, Julia.
12:23Two big ones and four little ones.
12:25And this time they are five, one, ten, four, twenty-five and fifty.
12:34And this target, four hundred and twenty-eight.
12:38Four to eight.
12:38Don't buy one, three, two.
12:56Oh, oh, oh.
12:57Yeah.
12:57Yeah.
12:58Hell, yeah.
13:00Yeah.
13:01mom's el VC.
13:03Oh, oh, oh.
13:03Cool.
13:04Ooh, yeah.
13:04Ooh, yeah.
13:05Ooh, yeah.
13:06Danielle, yeah.
13:07Yeah.
13:07Julia?
13:10Only 426.
13:12Two away. Maggie?
13:14429.
13:16429. Let's turn to Maggie.
13:19OK. 10 minus 1 is 9.
13:22Yep.
13:23Times 50.
13:24450.
13:26Take the 25.
13:284, 4, 2, 5.
13:30And add the 4.
13:31Lovely. 1 above.
13:33Very good. Well done.
13:34But 428. Rachel, can you help?
13:37I found a way.
13:38If you say 50 plus 25 plus 10 is 85,
13:45times it by 5 for 425,
13:48and then 4 minus 1 gives you 3 to add on for 428.
13:51Well done.
13:52428.
13:56So 44 to 13 sees Maggie in the lead as we turn to Helen.
14:01Helen, last time you were here,
14:02you were all busy getting ready
14:04to tear off to Borneo.
14:07How did it go?
14:08It was every bit as magical as Rachel had promised me.
14:13We stayed with families, tribespeople,
14:15high in the mountains,
14:17in the shadow of Mount Kinabalu,
14:19in a very humble village.
14:21And when we got there,
14:21there was an incredible ceremonial welcome.
14:23Everybody had their beautiful robes on,
14:26and the village people cooked an amazing feast for us.
14:29And then the next day,
14:30we set off trekking through the jungle.
14:32And I'd never done anything like this before.
14:34So my lovely friend Penny Smith from GMTV days,
14:38who's trekked all over the world,
14:39had lent me all her gear
14:40and sort of tried to prime me and get me in good shape.
14:44But nothing prepares you for being in the jungle.
14:47It's absolutely incredible.
14:49One minute, we were in 40 degree heat.
14:52The next moment, the heavens would open
14:53and you'd be in a torrential jungle downpour
14:56with sort of mud slipping all over the place.
14:58The trekking was much more challenging than I'd imagined.
15:02I hadn't really trained.
15:03I thought it'd be like going on a few big long walks,
15:05but it was up and down.
15:07And then we slept overnight under the stars.
15:10And although we were physically tired,
15:12everybody was very excited.
15:13So I remember lying on a hard wooden platform,
15:16just looking up at the stars, not tired at all,
15:19listening to the sounds of the jungle
15:21because it comes alive at night.
15:23And for the first hour or two,
15:24you think, gosh, it's like some magical symphony.
15:27And then after an hour or two,
15:28when you realise you're really not going to sleep at all
15:31and you feel like there's snakes everywhere
15:33because you can hear the cicadas hissing,
15:35it's like a cacophony.
15:37Nobody slept at all.
15:38We got up at five the next morning,
15:40carried on trekking, fresh pineapples everywhere.
15:43It was amazing.
15:44And it's amazing how quickly you adjust to things.
15:46Your leeches are a big problem there.
15:48And to begin with, every time people got leeches on them,
15:50we were all sort of in a panic.
15:51And by the end of it, you just sort of flick them off.
15:54And, you know, you don't worry at all
15:56about these blood-sucking creatures
15:57that come out of nowhere and attach themselves to you.
16:00And, of course, it was all to raise awareness
16:02and money for Barnardo's, which I'm an ambassador.
16:05So it was a great cause.
16:07And I'm really, really glad that I took the decision
16:10to spend 24 hours getting there.
16:14For such a short stay.
16:17At least it's whetted your appetite.
16:18Next time, clear the diary.
16:21Yes, there'll be more.
16:22There'll be more.
16:23Coming soon.
16:24Well, good for you.
16:25Well done.
16:31Good for Helen.
16:33So 44 to 13.
16:34Maggie, letters came for you.

17:47Sampan.
17:48Sampan.
17:49Maggie?
17:50Mopanis.
17:52Mopanis, you know, you'll count some words, yes.
17:54Trees found in southern Africa,
17:57and their leaves fold together in the heat.
18:00They sound quite beautiful.
18:01And Helen?
18:02That was the word we found, actually, too, Mopanis.
18:04Anything else, Susie?
18:05Just to tell you about Sampan,
18:07it's a small boat used in East Asia,
18:09with oars at the stern.
18:11Sampan, yeah.
18:12Fifty-one to thirteen.
18:14Julia, here we go.

19:27Thank you, and...
19:28Arda.
19:29Arda.
19:30Yep, excellent, well done. Good six.
19:32Arda. Any more sixes, Helen, Susie?
19:35We had Arda, but there was also Outroar, which would have given you seven.
19:40Well, well, thank you.
19:41Fifty-seven plays the 13.
19:44Maggie, your numbers again.
19:46One from the top and any other five, please, Rachel.

24:30Let's see.
24:31I did look up disser, and not in the dictionary, unfortunately.
24:35Sorry, because it was a good try.
24:38And assizes, which we haven't seen, is very, very good.
24:41Yeah, excellent.
24:42So, 79 to 28, and now it's Susie's Origins of Words.
24:47Yes, Susie?
24:48I'm going to talk about clogs today, Nick.
24:50Um, on Twitter, I heard a message from Nuria Burrell, who, um, wonders about the term
24:55to pop one's clogs, which is a euphemism, as we know, for, um, dying.
25:00Um, so just a little quick, um, history of clogs, at least clogs in Britain, because during
25:05the Industrial Revolution, they were the traditional workers' footwear in many trades, particularly
25:10in factories, because they were considered to be safe, um, and easy to put on.
25:14And this is particularly in the Midlands and Northern Britain, for women as well as men.
25:19And, in fact, in the metal industry, you might still find people wearing clogs in factories
25:23to protect, uh, the feet from anything hot that might fall upon them.
25:27Um, on to popping one's clogs.
25:30And the verb to pop might here be the term for pawning goods.
25:34You'll find that in the nursery rhyme, pop goes the weasel, uh, which sounds very innocent,
25:38but, in fact, um, it is about pawning your coat, weasel and stoat coat, that was rhyming
25:42slang, in order to get some cash, uh, to go into the pub.
25:46So popping one's clogs as well, the idea might be that someone would only want to pawn their
25:50clogs if they have no further need for them, um, possibly to pay for their own funerals.
25:55That's quite sad.
25:56But it's also possible that it's linked to the idiom to pop off, uh, which is simply to die.
26:01Again, another euphemism, uh, a little bit like shuffling off, I guess, this mortal coil.
26:05But staying with clogs, I think the most famous, um, English word that's associated with them
26:11is sabotage.
26:13Um, sabotage goes back to, uh, the French, of course, uh, sabot, meaning clogs as well.
26:18And, um, French peasants and workers, um, were said, well, when they took action against
26:23new technology, um, putting them out of their jobs, um, in factories several centuries ago,
26:28they destroyed machinery, um, they destroyed this new technology in order to protect their
26:32jobs.
26:32And, um, because they wore sabot, because they wore clogs, it was termed sabotage.
26:37We don't have any evidence that they threw their clogs, uh, into the spokes of this machinery
26:41in order to destroy it.
26:42But certainly the link between clogs and sabotage and that disruption was there.
26:47Oh, very good.
26:53Excellent.
26:54So, 79, please.
26:55Uh, 28.
