00:30Hello, everybody.
00:32Tuesday afternoon in Countdown.
00:34And after yesterday's big show, when Christine Smith became an Octo-Champ,
00:38we have two challengers today with high hopes looking to go all the way.
00:43And before I spoil it all by saying something stupid,
00:45let's introduce the team on for only the second time.
00:49We've got them for three weeks.
00:50It's Dr Tom Crawford.
00:52It's our G of the D, Susie Dent.
00:54And it's our superstar in Dictionary Corner, the one and only Stephen Fry.
01:00Right on.
01:01I'll put you in the spot.
01:02There were song references there to who?
01:05I got one, but I know it's Frank Sinatra.
01:07Yes, well done.
01:08I might have to tell my Frank Sinatra stories today
01:12instead of doing the Greek myth thing,
01:13because I met Sinatra and it is quite a good story.
01:16Well, listen, let's start spreading the news.
01:18We've got two new challengers.
01:20We have to give away a teapot.
01:22And there's a bit of a sporting theme today, two sports nuts.
01:24Gary Fisher joins us from Prenton on the Wirral.
01:27Not a fan of the Super White Army, though,
01:29but a big blue, big Everton fan, yeah?
01:31Yeah, that's right, yeah.
01:32Yeah, go to the games.
01:34Who's your favourite Everton player of all time?
01:36Neville Southall.
01:38Yeah, it's mine.
01:39I was not just for him as a footballer,
01:40but now as well,
01:42just the work he does around mental health and stuff.
01:44Look at that, Stephen, red and blue together.
01:47Mmm, Joe Royal.
01:48Now, he was a fine player.
01:50I really admired him.
01:51Put him on the list.
01:51My generation, though, a long time ago.
01:53I mentioned Pat Nevin.
01:55Not as one of my favourites,
01:56I just want to mention Pat Nevin.
01:57Yeah.
01:58And we'll move on to Lorraine Whelan.
02:00How are you?
02:01I'm very good, thank you, Callum.
02:02And you're Snooker Loopy?
02:03I am indeed.
02:04Good, all the way from Tipperary today.
02:06So, is it the Irish players you like best?
02:08Yes, very much so.
02:10And also like Caron Wilson, Mark Selby.
02:13Yeah.
02:14What about one Irish world champion?
02:17If you had to go back, if you could be there,
02:19would it be Taylor, Higgins, Doherty?
02:21Who would you choose?
02:22I have a soft spot for Ken Doherty,
02:25but Higgins just would have loved to have seen him play.
02:28Oh, I love it.
02:28Right, here we go.
02:3015 rounds between Gary and Lorraine.
02:33One of them will be crown champion today.
02:35Good luck to you both.
02:36APPLAUSE

04:09That's not a good sign, it really isn't, Lorraine.
04:13If he's found winners, you're in real trouble.
04:17Gary? Re-souled.
04:20I say re-souled is in the dictionary,
04:23but you've only got one S there, I'm afraid.
04:27So good for a six, but not a seven.
04:29Stephen, a bit of an open goal for you.
04:31Yes, I was just writing forges done
04:33and was about to add the extra R when in came Susie with forges.
04:38So she got there first, but forges.
04:40Forges are there. And for an eight, you can have four legs.

14:28to do the 50 plus the six and then you times that by the four. So 56 times four will give
14:35you 224 and then you've got another one and another four to get the 229. Well done. Well done.
14:42APPLAUSE
14:44Now, Stephen Fry. Frank Sinatra, Brat Pack. Yes, as it happens, in the late 80s, for reasons we won't go into,
14:54I was living in the Savoy Hotel. I know. It's absurd. It's the best artist story ever.
15:01I was very young. But anyway, it's a complicated story. But the important thing is that you get to
15:08know the staff and one of the doormen, or link men as they're professionally known, Louis, said to me,
15:15are you a fan of Frank Sinatra, Mr Fry? I said, oh, yes, I should say, absolutely. And he said, oh,
15:22he's coming to stay next week. And anyway, I was filming at the time and we had a sort of quite late
15:28wrap on this film at about 11 at night and I arrived at the hotel and Louis was on duty. He said,
15:33follow me, Mr Fry. And he turned left towards the American bar which was roped off and he pulled
15:39the rope aside and said, go on, go through. And he followed me in and there, sitting in a pool of light
15:44with cigarette smoke coming up, like an album cover, with a glass of bourbon in front of him,
15:49was the man himself, Old Blue Eyes, the chairman of the board, the voice. And Louis said,
15:55Mr Sinatra, this is Mr Fry, he's one of our rising young actors and he's staying at the hotel.
16:02And Sinatra said to me the wonderful words, sit down, kid. And I was like, sit down, kid,
16:08from Sinatra. So I sat down, just started a bit to talk. He asked me what I was doing,
16:13if I was an actor, was I a film actor or a stage actor. And suddenly,
16:16in came about 30 people and obviously the plates had been ready for his friends
16:20who all came in and I sort of eased out and left them to it. Anyway,
16:24a few days later, I saw Louis. I said, is he still staying in the hotel?
16:28He said, no, he left this morning. It's quite a funny story, actually.
16:31I said, oh, how's that? He said, well, he was getting...
16:34Just about his car had arrived and he took out this thick roll of money
16:38and he pressed it in my hands and said, thanks, Louis, it's a great stay.
16:43I said, thank you very much, Mr Sinatra. And he said to me,
16:46tell me, is that the biggest tip you've ever received?
16:49I said, well, no, as a matter of fact, it isn't, Mr Sinatra.
16:52And he was very put out.
16:54He said, well, who gave you a bigger one?
16:56I said, you did so last time you started.
16:58LAUGHTER
17:00These people, they know how to get good tips,
17:02so you can guarantee next time Sinatra came, you'll get an even bigger tip.
17:06But that was the joy of meeting Sinatra.
17:09It was just brilliant, thank you.
17:10APPLAUSE
17:13Oh, beautiful. Right, let's get back to those letters, Gary Fisher.
17:17OK, a vowel, please.
17:20Sure thing, Gary.
17:21We'll start with an I.
17:23Consonant.
17:26Q.
17:28Vowel.
17:31E.
17:32Consonant.

17:46Vowel.
17:48A.
17:50Consonant.
17:53G.
17:55Consonant.
17:57And a T.
17:58All right, here we go again.
17:59The mix.
18:01The nextì.
18:03Because the Vowel –
18:05It's tough.
18:07Ad.''
18:08Cosonsant.
18:12E.
18:13I'll be back in...
18:18Yolanda.
18:26mandate.
18:27The Vowel –
18:27Absonant.
18:28I'll be back in the middle.
18:28Gary. Risky seven. And for you, Lorraine? A risky seven.
18:34Let's see if you've both taken the same risk. Gary.
18:37Gamiest. Yeah, Lorraine. Yes, gamiest. Pass it over.
18:42And by that, I don't think we mean the most football, do we?
18:45We're talking about game birds. Yes, with a quite high,
18:48you've hung your pheasant or whatever. Yeah, just one of a few sevens,
18:52actually, that were hiding there. Yeah, I had a six which was egoism
18:56and then I realised, of course, you can put a T in and make it egotism.
18:59Yeah. And Stephen was being very cruel and experimenting with my least favourite word,
19:04moist, and came up with a word that thankfully is not in the dictionary.
19:07Moistage. Moistage. It will be nice, Stephen Fry said it.
19:11It will be in the dictionary. Lorraine, it's your letters.
19:14Could I have a vowel, please? We'll start with an I.
19:17And another.
19:20A. And another one.
19:24O. And a consonant.
19:26And S. And start that clock.
19:32O. And a consonant.

19:40And a vowel, please.
19:43E.
19:44And a consonant.
19:47And S.
19:48And start that clock.
20:08Time's up. Lorraine?
20:20I have a seven.
20:22And for you, Gary?
20:23A seven.
20:24And a seven too. OK, we've got Lorraine.
20:26Sharpen.
20:27Sharpen. And Gary?
20:28Orphans.
20:29And orphans.
20:30Very nice, both.
20:31Was there anything else beyond the seven?
20:32No, I just got other sevens like persona and phonies.
20:35Yeah.
20:36Phonies, very good.
20:37You've got an eight.
20:38Yeah, there is an eight there.
20:39If you come up with an aphorism, a pithy observation,
20:43you are aphorising, so aphorise will give you an eight.
20:46All right, third numbers round of the day.
20:50Gary, what are you going to do?
20:51You're going to stick to one large.
20:53Let's find out.
20:54Can I stick with one large, please?
20:55All right, I like it, Gary.
20:58One large, and let's get you five from the bottom.
21:02We've got a ten.
21:03A five.
21:04A nine.
21:06A six, a five, and a 75, and your target is 441.
21:12Dr. Tom, thank you.

21:14Numbers up.
21:15Hypo, three, four, four, four.
21:18So we know that this is for you.
21:19We've got a ten.
21:20If you've crossed the world.
21:21Come on.
21:21We've got a ten.
21:22This is going to be a ten.
21:23We've got a ten.
21:24Here's what we want to do.
21:24The fact that we've got a ten.
21:26We've got a ten.
21:26We've got a ten.
21:28We've got a ten.
21:284-4-1. Gary?
21:474-4-1. Yeah, Lorraine?
21:494-4-1. Off we go, Gary.
21:5275 times 6.
21:54Yeah, 75 times 6 will give you 4.50.
21:57And take away the 9.
21:584-4-1. Nice.
22:00Straight forward, Lorraine.
22:01The exact same way.
22:03There you go.

22:10Oath Pelt.
22:12A sought-after car registration in the catering industry.
22:16A sought-after car registration in the catering industry.
22:20A sought-after car registration in the catering industry.
22:41A bit of a cheesy one, that hot plate.
22:44Hot plate.
22:45That's how you always know if you're behind Susie on the motorway.
22:48Dent A, B, C.
22:49Wouldn't be for me, if I'm being honest.
22:51Wouldn't be for me.
22:52But anyway.
22:53Not true.
22:53Seven points in it, six rounds to go.
22:57Lorraine, it's your letters.
22:59Could I start with a consonant, please?

26:15Absolutely fine.
26:17Dragnets also.
26:17Dragnets.
26:18That's lovely.
26:19Fantastic.
26:20Well, listen, we will stay with you in Dictionary Corner
26:22because there's Origins of Words today.
26:24It was Nina's email yesterday.
26:26Who's been in touch today?
26:27Susie Dent has been in touch today.
26:30E-mailing yourself again, Dent.
26:31She's always good.
26:32I'm always putting little notes down.
26:35And it was because I heard someone talking about belt and braces.
26:40And I was thinking about idioms to do with belts, essentially.
26:44You might say to someone, belt up.
26:46In other words, just be quiet.
26:48That began as RAF slang.
26:50Stand to attention, perhaps.
26:51But there's another word that you wouldn't guess in English
26:54that is all to do with belts.
26:56And that's a cinch.
26:57As in, it's a cinch.
26:58It's really, really easy.
27:00Because the first recorded use of that was for a girth of a saddle
27:04in Mexico and the southern US.
27:07And it was essentially made of twisted strands of horse hair.
27:11It's a Spanish word, and we took it straight from Spanish.
27:15And the link between that meaning and the one that we use,
27:18it's something that's easy to achieve,
27:20is that it is firm and secure.
27:22In other words, it's almost guaranteed.
27:24Fantastic.
27:25Great email.
27:26Susie, email again any time that you want.
27:28That was brilliant.
27:30APPLAUSE
27:30Excellent.
27:33Well, listen, what a show we have.
27:34Gary and Lorraine both making their debuts.
27:36Just seven points in it.
27:38One of you is going to win that teapot
27:40and add that nuts to your belt.

29:04Very nice indeed. Well done.
29:06APPLAUSE
29:0874 points each. Stephen.
29:10Well, there's dilates and entails, but there's also alienist,
29:14which is an original word that they gave psychiatrists.
29:18It was an alienist, wasn't it? Exactly, yes.
29:20That's a significant another.
29:22There is a nine there, in fact.
29:24It is a synonym for denier, as in climate denier, denialist.
29:28That's not there. It is.
29:30It's not there. It is.
29:31It's absolutely not.
29:33We'll applaud you anyway, but I'm telling you, it's not there.
29:36APPLAUSE

30:58Lorraine?
30:59Five.
31:00Oh, it's a big moment. Lorraine?
31:02Cored.
31:03I have to take the lead.
31:04Routed.
31:05Very good. Rooted, routed, pronounced either way.
31:08Absolutely fine. How are you spelling your cord, Lorraine?
31:10C-O-R-E-D.
31:12A cord, a cord and apple. Yep, very good indeed.
31:15Excellent.
31:16Yeah, it's quite a tough one, this one, actually.
31:17There was comedy, which is always good to have comedy in things.
31:20It exactly is.
31:21You got one better.
31:22Cored for seven.
31:23Right.
31:24You went from seven points behind to six points ahead,
31:27but we're in exactly the same situation in terms of the big finale.
31:32But will we be there after our last numbers? Lorraine?
31:35Could I have one big and the rest small, please?
31:38No problem, Lorraine.
31:40Three, four and five.
31:42And we have a ten, a four, a one, a four, a nine, a 25.
31:51And your target this time is 121.
31:54One, two, one, last numbers.
31:56Go!
31:58Go!
31:59Woo!
32:00Student
32:01Oh, yeah, I'll like our success.
32:02We'll do the last numbers.
32:03Okay.
32:04Business Cr leakage,
32:06Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh
32:08There you go, one-to-one.
32:28Let's go one-to-one with Lorraine. Did you get it?
32:30Yes. Yes, and what about you, Gary?
32:32Yeah. Thought so even under that pressure.
32:35It's fairly straightforward, but you can go anywhere you want, Lorraine.
32:39I went with four plus one is five.
32:42Four plus one will give you five.
32:44Times 25.
32:46Times your 25 is your 125.
32:49And take away four.
32:50Take away the four for 121.
32:52Probably the same way.
32:53Same way, yeah.
32:53Pass it on over. Love it.
32:58Well, here we go.
33:00Fingers on the buzzers.
33:02Let's reveal our crucial countdown conundrum.
33:08I'm not even a late guest.
33:38It's from Lorraine.
33:39How would it have broke for either or there?
33:41Because it was so close.
33:42But the key part were those two letters rounds where Gary just caught up and pushed ahead.
33:48You're a new champion.
33:49Well done.
33:49Before we do anything else, Susie Dent.
33:56Rafshod.
33:57Let's have a look.
33:58Yes.
34:00That would be a wonderful origins of words.
34:03Maybe email yourself about it.
34:04It'll be on the show soon.
34:05OK.
34:06Well, Lorraine, we're very happy that you emailed us.
34:10And it was just going to be a shame either way today.
34:12Have you enjoyed your afternoon?
34:13Absolutely wonderful.
34:14Good stuff.
34:14And no jokes from me about everyone actually winning something.
34:18Gary, I've got more class than that.
34:20We'll see you tomorrow, mate.
34:21See you tomorrow.
34:22All done for today.
