00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34I know that we've all found ourselves in that ghastly position, that awkward, embarrassing position,
00:40when we run into somebody we know very, very well we can't remember their names.
00:44Isn't that awful? There's that terrible silence.
00:47Well, new research actually shows they're even worse at remembering their faces, which is extraordinary.
00:53But apparently, they gather together, these researchers, they gather together 40 pictures of people,
01:00strangers, with fictitional names, and they gave this crowd of people, this survey, enough time to memorise them both.
01:08And actually, here we go, 85% of those participants could remember the names, but only 73 the faces.
01:16Isn't that extraordinary? It's counterintuitive.
01:19What about you? Have you ever found yourself in that awkward position, when you could have wished, perhaps, that the earth would swallow you up?
01:27All the time. I think it's one of my phobias of getting people's names wrong. I try and avoid it at all costs.
01:31But I think it's, when you see things written down, and I've found this when I'm learning Russian,
01:35if I see something written down, I'm much better at memorising it than if I just see a picture or hear it.
01:41And that's the problem with names, isn't it? You're busy introducing yourself, and you're just about trying to remember your own name before you've heard their name.
01:47And by the time you've done that, it's gone instantly. So, it's a constant worry.
01:52Sure, but if you see it written down, that's an optical thing, isn't it? So, that must sort of help, I guess.
01:57Thank you. Now, who's back? Maggie Barlow.
02:00Well, I don't think there's any chance that we're going to forget your name, Maggie, or indeed your face,
02:04because you're almost regularly here now, looking for your seventh win.
02:10Yeah.
02:10Fantastic. How are you feeling?
02:11Thank you. I'm feeling good, thank you very much. Yeah, ready to go.
02:15Well done. You're joined by Stefan Williams, a chartered accountant, from Bradley Stoke in Bristol,
02:20originally from Talbot.
02:22I know you are.
02:22And a big, you know, love the Bristol male voice choir. Mad about your singing, yeah?
02:29Yeah, I've sung in them for a few years now, a brilliant choir.
02:32There's about 40 or 50 of us who get together once a week to rehearse and various concerts throughout the year.
02:38It's a wonderful thing that's happened, isn't it? It's down to that Mr Malone, I suppose, is it?
02:42But now, choirs are springing up everywhere.
02:45Yeah, well, I think we've got a good one, so I really enjoy being part of it.
02:49Well, listen, enjoy yourself today, both of you.
02:50A big round of applause for Maggie and Stefan.
02:57And over in the corner, Susie, of course, with long-standing journalist and award-winning news broadcaster,

04:41And in the corner?
04:44Now, Susie.
04:45Pounder, got pounder, but hadn't got poundage, was working my way towards it.
04:50Absolutely.
04:51Anything else, Susie?
04:52No, more than that for eight.
04:53Thanks, Jeremy.
04:54Eight points to Maggie.
04:55Now, Stefan, first letters game for you.
04:58Hi, Rachel.
04:59Hi, Stefan.
04:59Can I have a vowel, please?
05:00You can.
05:01Start with I.

06:11Stephen?
06:11Ah, roids.
06:13Roids and?
06:14Idioms.
06:16And idioms.
06:17Idioms, excellent.
06:21Roids are not there without an apostrophe, unfortunately, short for steroids, but yes, can't have it just on its own, so.
06:30Jeremy?
06:31But you can have viroids.
06:34You can.
06:35They are smaller than a virus, but they're infectious entities that affect plants, so they cause plant diseases.
06:42I see.
06:43Now, it's the first numbers game.
06:46Maggie?
06:47All right, one from the top, please, Rachel, and any other five?
06:50Sticking to what you know.
06:51Thank you, Maggie, although you know a lot.
06:53Let's go with one large.
06:54And these five small are seven, six, eight, five, another seven, and one hundred.
07:01And the target, five hundred and sixty-two.
07:04Five, six, two.
07:05And so, it's all right.
07:06So.
07:09Okay.
07:09What's one eigentlich?
07:10I hope you know a lot.
07:10I hope you enjoy it.
07:15Okay, for discuss that, magnitude слad.

07:42So, Stefan, tell us.
07:44I did 100, take away 5.
07:47100, take 5, 95.
07:49Multiplied by 6.
07:50Multiplied by 6 for 570.
07:53And take away the 8.
07:54That'll do it. 5, 6, 2.
07:55Maggie.
07:57Different method.
07:58100 times 5.
08:00500.

08:07Well done.

08:51Golf is out of the question for this chap.
08:53He's interested in saucers, not teas.

10:24How did we do in the corner?
10:25Well, I started with yawed, added an N for yawed, then got to waiter and then wintry.
10:31Wintry.
10:32Not bad.
10:33Anything else, Susie?
10:34A couple more sevens for you.
10:36Something can be yawnier, if it's very boring.

11:17And here's the countdown clock.
11:20Also, tune in the water.
11:21And as we go.
11:21And let's talk.
11:52Yeah. Maggie. Six. Stefan. I've got a risky six. Maggie. Foxier. And Stefan. I have finers. Finers. No, not those in noun, I'm afraid. Sorry. How do we do in the corner? We could stretch to a single seven with infuser. Thank you. All right. 37 to 17. Now, Stefan, it's your numbers game.
12:21Can I have four large? Certainly have the two, please. You can. Gambling early on. I like your style. Thank you, Stefan. Hope it pays off. These two little ones are ten and eight. And the big ones. Fifty, one hundred, twenty-five, seventy-five. And the target? Three hundred and sixteen.

13:02Well, Stefan?
13:12I think I've got 316.
13:15Maggie?
13:16Just 315.
13:17Stefan?
13:19I said 100 plus 8.
13:22108.
13:23Multiplied by 75.
13:27Multiplied by 75.
13:29And then what's the next step?
13:30Take away, no sorry, add 50.
13:32Add 50.
13:34And then divide by 25.
13:36Divide by 25.
13:37So we have 326.
13:41And take away the 10.
13:42Perfect, well done, 316.
13:51You said you were a chartered accountant, I can well believe it.
13:55Brilliant.
13:5637 to 27, well done.
13:59Nothing in it yet.
14:01As we turn to Jeremy, 50 years in journalism, and to be honest with you, it's here.
14:10It's extraordinary.
14:11Which was your favourite period, I wonder, in breaking news?
14:15I've asked that a few times.
14:18Looking back, I realised that as a young journalist, there were three things that I thought I would never see change.
14:26One was the Cold War, to which you and I were born, the second was the end of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the third thing I thought would never end was apartheid.
14:35So, I was extremely lucky to find myself in South Africa for the first half of the 90s, first with ITN's News at 10, then with Sky News, covering the period from Mandela coming out of jail as a prisoner after 27 years.
14:50And that extraordinary period of time, which was the most amazing emotional rollercoaster you can imagine, getting through somehow to that extraordinary first democratic election in the spring of 1994.
15:06And I look back and think, yes, the most impressive man I ever met was Nelson Mandela, one of the few people I can think of in my lifetime who genuinely made a difference for the people around him, who genuinely changed the culture and political environment in which they lived.
15:25And then, you know, to find myself on that historic day in 1994, on the union buildings of Pretoria and Mandela's 30 feet away, giving that famous Rainbow Nation speech, which was, you know, chilling.
15:40I still get goosebumps thinking about it, what it meant to the people of South Africa.
15:44But there was one sort of lighter moment just before Mandela appeared.
15:47The tradition in South Africa, you get a praise singer coming out, singing in the leader's local language.
15:54And this was a man called Zulani Mkiva, who was wearing wonderful traditional skins and chanting in Kursa, the language of Mandela.
16:05And I had a very cheeky old anchorman in London who said to me after a while, he said,
16:10So, Jeremy, just talk us through what the praise singer is saying.
16:15And I said, well, you know, Bob, my Kursa is not great, but I know he's saying what a wonderful man Mandela is and what a great leader he'd be.
16:23And he said, and I said, um, and, you know, he says when he's not doing this, he likes to watch Sky News.
16:31And there was suddenly silence from the other end, and I never got another wind-up from old Bob, which was nice to know.
16:37Anyway, wonderful years in South Africa.
16:40Fantastic.
16:43Wonderful.
16:45Really wonderful.
16:47Maggie, let us go.
16:51Consonant, please, Rachel.
16:53Thank you, Maggie.
16:54P.
16:54And another.

18:05Why not?
18:06Absolutely fine.
18:07Yes.
18:08And how do we do in the corner?
18:10Rayfides, which I've not come across before.
18:13Tell us more.
18:14It's a botanical word for a needle-shaped crystal of calcium oxalate that occurs in the tissues of certain plants.
18:21That's a rayfide.
18:22Well, well.
18:28Stefan.

23:33Monstera.
23:35Yes, both excellent. Countdown, Wes. Very good.
23:38Yeah, perfectly well.
23:44Anything else in the corner there, Jeremy, Susie?
23:46No, no, no better than that.
23:49You did it very well.
23:51Maggie, let us go.
23:54Start with a vowel, please, Rachel.
23:56Thank you, Maggie.

24:36Bye.
24:56Bye.
24:57Maggie?
25:01Eight.
25:02Stefan?
25:03Just six.
25:04And that six is?
25:05Bloats.
25:07Maggie?
25:08Bailouts.
25:09Yes, all one word, Maggie.
25:10Very good.
25:10Very well done.
25:12Well done.
25:16Well done, Jeremy.
25:18Can't beat bailouts.
25:19That's excellent.
25:21Susie, nothing else?
25:22There's botulism.
25:23Sausage poisoning, originally.
25:25Yes.
25:25It's linked to bowel, but that's another eight.
25:28Yeah, best avoided.
25:3078 to 60.
25:3378 to 60.
25:34Susie, it's time for your origins of words now.
25:37What have you cooked up for us?
25:40I had a nice tweet, Nick, from Nina Whitman,
25:43who asked about minding one's P's and Q's.
25:46In fact, it was her daughter who was asking about this one.
25:48So this is for Nina and her daughter.
25:51We've been urged to mind our P's and Q's,
25:53in other words, to mind our manners,
25:54since at least the 18th century, possibly before.
25:59There are so many stories, so many suggestions attached to it,
26:01and it's almost impossible to get to the truth.
26:04But the suggestions themselves are quite entertaining,
26:06so I will go through some of them.
26:08The most popular one is that it refers to the difficulty a child,
26:12such as Nina's daughter, perhaps,
26:13might have in distinguishing the tailed letters P and Q,
26:17so that when they're learning their handwriting,
26:19they have to really, really be careful which way they put the little tail on the letter.
26:23Alternatively, it could also be a link to the individual pieces of movable type
26:29that were used in the early days of printing.
26:31So a typeset would have to be really careful, again, to get it right,
26:34otherwise he or she could mess up a whole page of printing.
26:38Sadly, and I'm always the party people with these things,
26:41there's no alphabetical link in any of the records we have to do with minding P's and Q's,
26:46so we're pretty sure that is not the ultimate origin of it.
26:50It's also been suggested that the P stands for pint and the Q stands for quart,
26:56and that landlords, particularly when serving seamen who came out on shore leave,
27:03came off the ship, they had to be really careful not to get the two mixed up.
27:06So they would chalk up the tabs, a P for a pint, a Q for a quart,
27:10and either the landlord or the sailor had to be really careful when the tab had to be paid,
27:15whether they were in fact paying for the right thing or being charged through the nose.
27:18And finally, we are left with possibly the most plausible one of all,
27:23which is P is for please and Q is for thank you.
27:26So mind your P's and Q's, just make sure you say the right thing at the right time.
27:30Again, makes a lot of sense, but pleases and thank yous is a phrase,
27:35didn't actually emerge before the 20th century, so the dates don't fit.
27:40So it's an ongoing puzzle, and one day we will find out,
27:43and apologies to Nina and her daughter, but I can't give a definitive answer,
27:46but I hope she likes some of the stories attached.
27:48Indeed, why wouldn't she? Very good.
27:55Excellent. 78 to 60, Maggie in the lead.
27:58Stefan.
27:59Can I have a consonant, please?
28:01Thank you, Stefan.
28:02R.
28:04And a vowel.
28:05E.
28:06And a consonant.
28:09F.
28:10And a vowel.
28:12A.
28:12And another one, please.
28:27G.
28:29And a vowel, please.
28:32And the last one, U.
28:34Stand by.
28:34And a vowel.
29:06Stefan?
29:07I'll try a six.
29:10Maggie?
29:11Six.
29:12Now then.
29:13Can you grap?
29:15G-R-A-P-P-E?
29:17Maggie?
29:19Pawper.
29:20And pawper?
29:22Pawper is there.
29:23Grapper is there, but not grap, I'm afraid, with the E.
29:27I'm really sorry.
29:31Thinking of another coffee, how about a frappe?
29:33And Susie?
29:36Yes, frappe is a good six, gapper otherwise, but we couldn't get beyond six.
29:40Well done.
29:41Thanks, Jeremy.
29:42Now, 84 to 60.
29:43Maggie, final letters game for you.
29:47OK.
29:47A vowel, please, Rachel.
29:48Thank you, Maggie.
29:49E.
29:50And another.
29:52A.
29:53And another.
29:55E.
29:57And a consonant.
29:58T.
30:00Another.
30:01S.
30:03Another.
30:04G.
30:06A vowel.
30:09I.
30:10Consonant.
30:11B.
30:13And a consonant, please.
30:14And the last one, R.
30:17Stand by.
30:18BELL RINGS
30:19What's on earth?
30:32Maggie.
30:50A seven.
30:51A seven. Now then, Stefan.
30:53I've just got a six.
30:54And your sixes?
30:55Larges.
30:57Thank you. Maggie.
30:58Berates.
31:00Berates.
31:01Yes.
31:01Jeremy.
31:02Triages.
31:03Triages is a nice seven.
31:04Good.
31:0691 to 60.
31:07Stefan.
31:08Here we go.
31:09Final numbers game.
31:11Can I go four large and any other two, please?
31:13I thought you might say that.
31:14Maggie's relieved that it's just for fun for the last one of the week.
31:17After that last display.
31:18Thank you, Stefan.
31:19They are ten and two this time.
31:22And our four large.
31:2350, 25, 75 and 100.
31:26Fingers crossed for a good target.
31:29735.
31:30735.
31:31735.
31:52735.
31:53Stefan?
32:04733.
32:06Maggie?
32:08I've lost the plot on that one.
32:10Nothing to declare.
32:11All right, so over to you, Stefan.
32:14So it's 75 times 10.
32:1675 times 10, 750.
32:18Take away 25.
32:20725.
32:20And then I said 100 over 25.
32:23I've used the 25 twice.
32:24Oh, you have.
32:25I've got nothing.
32:26Sorry, Stefan.
32:26Oh, bad luck.
32:27Bad luck.
32:28So, Rachel, 735?
32:32It was there, Nick.
32:33If you say 100 plus 50, 150.
32:3875 divided by 25 is 3.
32:41Take that away for 147.
32:43And then 10 divided by 2 is 5 and times them for 73.
32:48Oh, very nice.
32:50Excellent.
32:55So, 91 plays 60 as we go into the final round.
32:59Here we go.
32:59Fingers on buzzers.
33:01Let's roll today's countdown conundrum.
33:08Maggie?
33:10Cancelled.
33:11Let's see whether you're right.
33:13Cancelled?
33:13Cancelled.
33:14Yes.
33:15Cancelled.
33:15Cancelled.
33:15Well done, Maggie.
33:23Seven wins.
33:25Just squeaked over the line.
33:26Yes.
33:27Didn't let us down.
33:28You're very good with the conundrums.
33:30You really are.
33:30I'll come back to you in a second.
33:32Oh, Stefan, you sort of pretty much were with a pace for pace.
33:35Yes.
33:36And then suddenly she sort of did that irritating thing.
33:38Just too good.
33:38It's called leaping ahead.
33:40Yeah.
33:41But thanks for coming.
33:43You played well.
33:43You played really well.
33:44Thanks very much.
33:44Take this goodie bag back to Bradley Stoke.
33:48Yeah.
33:48And back to the choir.
33:50Will do.
33:51Thanks very much indeed.
33:52We shall see you on Monday.
33:53Well done.
33:55Big day.
33:55Big day Monday.
33:56Yes, indeed.
33:57Yes.
33:57Could be a big day on Tuesday too if you're good.
33:59All right.
34:00Have a pleasant weekend.
34:01Have a good day.
34:02All right.
34:03Jeremy, will you come back on Monday, please?
34:06We want to dig deeper into this book of yours.
34:08With pleasure, but don't ask me to sing like Stefan because I might have a big voice,
34:12but as my wife says, you can't hold a tune in a bucket.
34:15So she stops me singing in church so that I don't break the stained glass window.
34:20Is that right?
34:20You're forbidden.
34:21All right.
34:23See you on Monday.
34:25Susie, see you Monday?
34:26Yes.
34:26Of course.
34:26And Rachel too, of course.
34:27See you then.
34:28Join us then.
34:28Same time, same place.
34:30You'll be sure of it.
34:30A very good afternoon.
