00:00Welcome to Countdown Studio.
00:22Yesterday we celebrated the 125th anniversary of the Financial Times
00:25and today we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the London Underground,
00:30the oldest underground network in the world,
00:34serving Paddington to Farringdon Street way back in 1863.
00:40And how many stations are there nowadays?
00:43275, I'm told, with 2.7 million people riding the Tube every day.
00:48And I don't know about you, Rachel, I love the old Tube.
00:51It's brilliant. I don't know how you'd get around London without it.
00:54Well, first of all, no driving.
00:57Bike's fine, but rather sweaty, and if it rains, it's unpleasant.
01:00Taxi's formidably expensive.
01:04The Tube's so fast and slick.
01:06And it's nice that they renovated some of them for the Olympics as well.
01:09Absolutely.
01:09Which is the amount of my neck of the woods, East London.
01:11Much nicer, much more roomy.
01:13Yeah, but actually it's cheap, it's warm in the winter,
01:16nobody's smoking on it anymore.
01:18No.
01:18When you get to my age, of course, girls stand up and offer you their seat.
01:23It's so hurtful, I can't tell you.
01:25But anyway, there we are, there we are.
01:27Now, who have we got with us today?
01:28We've got Ben Wilson, a civil servant from North Highcombe,
01:32is that how we pronounce it?
01:33Yep.
01:33In Lincoln, former editor of the Association of British Scrabble Players newsletter.
01:39So you must be a hot number on the Scrabble.
01:42Warm, maybe.
01:43I think you're hot, don't worry, we'll soon find out.
01:46You study Aikido, an active member of Mensa, and you also draw mazes.
01:51Yep.
01:51And you were the Countdown Series winner from 2001.
01:56How brilliant.
01:56Have you kept up the training?
01:59Um, where I can, mostly just by watching the show.
02:03Yeah, well that's the best way.
02:05Of course.
02:05Absolutely.
02:06That's how everybody gets to be so good.
02:08And you're joined by Connor Travers, a very remarkable young man,
02:12originally from Luton, now reading maths at Cambridge.
02:15Yep.
02:15Yep, so you and Rachel can have a tussle later on.
02:19But in 2006, you made headlines when you became the youngest series champion ever,
02:26aged just 14.
02:27And I think they've dug up a shot.
02:30Cover your face, Connor.
02:32Here it comes.
02:33There you are, Lord bless.
02:37So, let's have a real round of applause for Ben and young Connor Travers.
02:46Very good.
02:48And over the corner, welcome back, Susie.
02:49And Dave.
02:50Hello, Nick.
02:51Welcome back.
02:52The penultimate day.
02:53It's been great fun having you here.
02:54Oh, I know, I'll be sad to leave.
02:56I always have a good time here.
02:57Yeah.
02:57Not a countdown.
02:58I think many, many people do.
03:00It's part of the day.
03:01It's a sort of a family affair, isn't it?
03:03Yeah.
03:03I'm a new member.
03:04I'm sort of a newborn, as it were.
03:06But, yeah, I'm enjoying it, finding my feet, I think.
03:10Anyway, let's see who's going to prevail today.
03:13Will it be Ben or will it be Connor?

11:06wind up Connor my word it would 35 plays 29 as we now look towards you Dave Dave
11:14what have you been up to that you can talk about well it's nearly eight years to the
11:18day that the first hairy bikers came on telly and it was in Portugal that we
11:23started and it was kind of quite an interesting choice because so much of the
11:27world's food depended on Portugal you know it took chilies to Asia for the
11:30first time they say that they introduced tempura to Japan our reasons for going
11:37there was two facts we found in Portugal apart from the interesting food that
11:41there's a museum of the lobotomy outside of Lisbon and there's a neurosurgeon
11:45colleague as money's in the 1930s he won a Nobel Peace Prize for perfecting the
11:51art of primitive neurosurgery so we went there and then we cooked a fish stew on a
11:56beach and we carried on down to southern Portugal where there's a breed of web
12:01footed poodles that still exist and they were bred by the Romans and they use them
12:06to fish well as a sheepdog would shepherd obviously sheep these dogs that have
12:12web feet these poodles they will rustle fish into the nets and they're still
12:16there and that's how we built our first program around what we could find to eat
12:20on the way from the museum of the lobotomy to these web footed poodles
12:26brilliant stuff and let me tell you a friend of mine who's got one but actually
12:32he calls it a Spanish web footed something around and they used to
12:38apparently drag the nets out right within their teeth and swim what lovely dog
12:44they're gorgeous but we had about four of them and they were scared of the water no
12:48that's they wouldn't play ball and we were floating in these these float tubes
12:52I had giant rubber rings yeah the idea was that we'd be fishing away yeah
12:56surrounded by these wonderful web footed poodles in the end what we did was we
13:00took them out in a speedboat no we put the poodles over the side it was all fine it
13:05wasn't cruel and of course what they did was they swam to us with our rubber rings
13:10and look up to the side whilst we fed them tit bits I think it was terribly cruel Dave
13:15no it wasn't because they got the poodles back and they left the south and side
13:18yeah out in the sea going out into the mediterranean extraordinary they picked us up
13:23sometime later lobotomy what were you doing there that's a horrible it's an
13:27interesting but it's a very gruesome place but it's interesting because one of his
13:31patients got better recovered and went back and shot him and he can still see his study
13:35where it happened I'm not surprised it was an interesting pitch to the BBC for our first
13:40program brilliant brilliant you remember Jack Nicholson in one flew over the cookies
13:44yes that was a sad you know end to it was lobotomized how tragic how tragic I feel quite upset
13:51about it now so I'm going to read a tea time teaser which is silk bias and the clue it
13:56sounds like the reptile who ran faulty towers it sounds like the reptile who ran faulty towers
14:05it sounds like the reptile who ran faulty towers and the answer is basilisk what is the exact
14:26definition of a basilisk it is a mythical reptile with a lethal gaze or lethal breath hatched by a serpent
14:33from a cock's egg all right anyway there we are 35 plays 29 a Ben in the lead Connor what you can do

15:55Could you pronounce that for me?
15:56F-L-O-R.
15:58Yes.
15:59U-I-T-E-D.
16:01Ah, yes, this brings back such memories.
16:04Connor was always coming up with words, but it took me a while to look up.
16:10It is a verb.
16:11Fluorid is used in conjunction with a specified period or set of dates
16:15to indicate when a particular historical figure lived.
16:19Well done.
16:20Very good.

18:08But hoagies rule.
18:09I remember them well from my time in New York.
18:11They're very, very long rolls.
18:13You can fill them with meat, with cheese, with salads.
18:15They're a bit like subs, short for submarines.
18:18Very tasty.

19:16So it can be right back.
19:18And a half inch this one is, you know what I'm looking at.
19:19Yeah.
19:19And all of the world he can do this thing.
19:20And in this case, you are going to watch the gospel.

19:29Eight.
19:30Eight, Ben.
19:31Eight.
19:32Very good.
19:32Connor.
19:33Subspace.
19:34Subspace.
19:35Capsules.
19:36Capsules.
19:38Happy with that?
19:39Absolutely brilliant.
19:40Subspace is a term for maths, a space that is wholly contained in another space, or it's
19:45also to be found in science fiction.
19:48Very, very good.
19:48Very good.
19:49We should have asked Rachel about that.
19:54Rachel wouldn't have had to have read it out of a book.
19:57What else have we got?
19:59Dave?
20:00Just subspace and capsules.
20:02Yes.
20:02Very good.
20:03Scalps is in there too somewhere, but not...
20:06It's only a few letters, but I quite like it.
20:08Yeah.
20:08People who sell you theatre tickets over the stated price, they're known as scalpers, apparently.
20:17Right.
20:18No longer touts, but scalpers.
20:19They're scalpers now.
20:20Very good.
20:20Thanks, American term.
20:2162 plays 50, and Ben, letters game.

21:14And a final consonant, please.
21:20And a final consonant, please.
21:22Then six not written down all right well, then I'll stick before now you're a four yes, let's hear you're for a pout
21:40pout
21:41Ben, um, I've probably made this up as well up the votes
21:46up vote yeah
21:48Okay
21:50Um sounds unlikely
21:53In the political world, I'm never quite sure
21:57But up vote isn't I'm afraid it's not one of there. We are now then Dave
22:01What have we got a couple of fours please punt? Thank you and bone
22:06Thank you
22:07Very good 66 phase 50, but now it's our turn to actually learn quite a lot more
22:14about the language
22:16Susie and her origins of words
22:19Thank you. I think Dave knows an awful lot of what I'm saying, but it's still been fun to research
22:24And today I'm going to talk about food names that have occurred as the result of mistaken beliefs or because we changed them from a foreign language
22:32into
22:33You know terminology that sounded a little bit more familiar if you take the famous and delicious
22:38Shortbread that is the Scottish petticoat tails
22:41Let's go all the way back to the 16th century and the French loving
22:45Courtiers of Mary Stewart now they called them pretty gutter or little cakes
22:49But the Scots didn't really recognize that too much they preferred to translate it into their own version and so pretty guttle became petticoat tails
22:57And they even began to bake them with those famous scalloped edges to resemble a petticoat
23:03We fried beans aren't refried at all the Spanish refritos means well fried not refried
23:09Spare ribs aren't spare either they come from the German rib of spare in which the spare is the spit on which the pork ribs are roasted
23:17Rosemary began life as rosmarinos in Latin
23:21Which is literally see Jew because the Romans saw that the herbs grew on the wild sea cliffs?
23:27And finally the cellar in the salt cellar is actually completely unnecessary comes from the French sally which itself meant a salt dispenser
23:34So the word is literally assault salt cellar
23:36Very good
23:38Well done
23:40Well done
23:42Well done
23:43Now then Connor 66
23:4416 ahead of Ben
23:46And this is your time
23:48Talk numbers to Rachel
23:50Well, I might be doing maths, but I haven't seen a number in years
23:52So I'm just going to go one large
23:54I remember that feeling thank you Connor
23:56One large one and five small ones and these will all be numbers
24:00And for this round they are four nine seven five three and the large one seventy five and your target three hundred and fifty nine three five nine
24:14Thank you
