00:00You
00:05You
00:10You
00:15You
00:20You
00:25You
00:30You
00:32Good afternoon
00:32Welcome to Countdown Studio
00:33Ooh
00:35Shuddered in terror when they read that story that I read the other day about
00:40The guy that got stuck and left in Chicago
00:42You think so?
00:44The problem was
00:45That it was a falling lift
00:47And it was falling, Rachel
00:49From the
00:50The sixth tallest tower of Chicago
00:52Of course
00:53Great architectural city
00:54This happened
00:55To be on the
00:56Ninety
00:57Fifth
00:58Floor
00:59And
01:00Suddenly think
01:01Woo
01:02Hold on a minute
01:03This is going a bit fast
01:04And it plunged down
01:05Um
01:06But fortunately there was a sort of a rope that stopped it hitting the ground
01:09Which would have been nuts
01:10It was nasty
01:11Anyway
01:12And um
01:13He was okay
01:14A bit shaken up
01:15Needed a stiff drink
01:16And I had
01:17Can you imagine
01:18Wow
01:19Ninety-four floors falling
01:20Hmm
01:21And my theory is
01:22That if you get stuck in a lift
01:24The first thing you want to do
01:27Is something you can't do
01:29And that is to have a wee
01:31LAUGHTER
01:32I think there might have been more than a wee falling from the 95th floor
01:36LAUGHTER
01:37And it's funny isn't it
01:39Because actually that story
01:40I think it was saved by another case
01:42There was a table on about the 11th floor
01:43So you should
01:44The moral of that story is that they are safe
01:47And there are things in place if something goes wrong
01:49But that's not what you take away from the story is it?
01:51Not really
01:52I don't really want to get in a lift in a high building
01:54I think there's some sort of break that grinds down
01:57From the cable or something
01:58But terrifying
01:59Yeah there would be more than wee around
02:00Sure
02:01LAUGHTER
02:02Shocker
02:03There we go
02:04Let's see if anybody's feeling sufficiently nervous to be
02:07To produce such a terrible end
02:08LAUGHTER

04:42Oh, Jenny.

07:58So 22 to 15, Stephen, Justin, the leaders...
08:00We turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Tinder egg.
08:04And the clue, he had egg.
08:05All over his face, so he was wiping it all clean.
08:08He had egg all over his face, so he was.
08:10Wiping it all clean.
08:15Wiping it all clean.
08:25Welcome back.
08:29I left you with the clue, he had egg all over his face.
08:30So he was wiping it all clean.
08:33And the answer to that is that he was.
08:35It's deterging it, Susie.
08:37Is that right?
08:37It's a verb.
08:38Yeah, it's a rare old verb.
08:40Yeah, 17th century, to cleanse thoroughly.
08:42So you can use it figuratively as well.
08:44You might want to deter yourself of something or someone.
08:47Purge.

20:16Six times five, 30.
20:18Minus one.
20:1929.
20:19Times 10.
20:20Times 10, 290.
20:22And add on the four.
20:24And add on the four.
20:25Yeah, probably not the route everyone else went, but well done.
20:29Alexander.
20:30I did four minus one equals three.
20:32Yep.
20:32Times 100.
20:34It's 300 minus six.
20:35I think I'd go along with that.
20:37Thank you very much.
20:44So 51 to 47, Stephen, Justin, the lead as we turn.
20:48To our second Tea Time teaser, which is Alien Time.
20:52And the clue, knock your...
20:53Knock your opponent out of the contest and of the inquiries.
20:57Knock your opponent out of the contest.
20:58Knock your opponent out of the contest and of the inquiries.
21:03Knock your opponent out of the contest and of the inquiries.
21:13Welcome back.
21:17I left with the clue.
21:18Knock your opponent out of the contest and of the inquiries.
21:22And the answer to that one is...
21:23To eliminate them.
21:25Eliminate them.
21:2651 to 47, Stephen, Justin.
21:28I'm going to leave Alexander.

22:39Rouges.
22:40R-O-U-G-E-S.
22:42Oh.
22:43Your mother's rouging her cheeks in the mirror.
22:46Stephen?
22:47Lurgies.
22:49Luggies is excellent.
22:50Very good.
22:51Yeah.
22:51Like that one.
22:53No.
22:59Rouges, Jenny.
23:01No.
23:01I'm out of this one.
23:03What does...
23:03What does your partner over there say?
23:06Susie?
23:07Well, you can be lousier.
23:08That would give you a seven, but not as nice as Lurgies.
23:10That was coined by Spike Milligan, I think.
23:12It's part of the Goon Show.
23:14Lurgies.
23:14The dreaded Lurgy.
23:16Of course, the dreaded Lurgy.
23:17Well done.
23:18Fif...
23:18Fifty-eight to forty-seven.
23:20Stephen, off we go.
23:22Your letters go.
23:23OK.

24:29Stephen.
24:30Bondia.
24:31And Alexander.
24:33Broiled.
24:34Broiled.
24:35Broiled is excellent.
24:38There's no Bondia.
24:40I'm afraid to spend you.
24:41Like Jenny.
24:42You like me?
24:43Yeah.
24:44Yeah.
24:45And you can play a blinder.
24:48And blondie as well, which is a type of cupcake, butterscotch flavour.
24:52Oh, right.
24:53A lot's there.
24:54Well done.
24:55Which sees Alexander just four points behind.
24:58Stephen, who's on 58.
24:59Let's give them a rest and turn to Susie.
25:03Find out what she has for us today by way of her origins of words.
25:08Thanks, Nick.
25:09I have an email from Keith Buckaridge, who wants to know the origins of...
25:13...animal diminutives.
25:14So I will just do a really quick whirlwind tour around...
25:18...and some of these pet names.
25:19And I'll start with Bonnie.
25:21And as always, the Oxford English Dictionary comes in...
25:23...handy.
25:24So the first recorded example we have is 1606, and it reads...
25:28...my honey, my bunny, my duck, my deer.
25:31And it was originally a term of endearment.
25:33For a person, specifically a woman.
25:35And you can see duck in there.
25:37You can see the sort of...
25:38...animal theme already appearing.
25:39It wasn't found as a pet name for a rabbit until the 17th...
25:43...century.
25:44So it survived as a pet affectionate name for your wife, your girlfriend, etc.
25:48...for quite a long time.
25:49And bunny itself is a pet form of bun, and that...
25:53...was a dialect word, a very old dialect word for a squirrel or rabbit.
25:56But very frustratingly, we have no...
25:58...idea why.
25:59It's not related to the buns that we eat.
26:01We do know that much.
26:02But...
26:03...the rest is very elusive, the history of it, unfortunately.
26:06And then we're going to come to...
26:08...mogi.
26:09That is simply a variant of magi.
26:11And we have a long tradition...
26:13...of giving female names, particularly female names...
26:16...sometimes it's male names, like Robin, Red...
26:18...we give those to animals, birds, etc.
26:21And...
26:22...mogi simply...
26:23...from Maggie.
26:24And I'll finish with Tabby.
26:26Um, Tabby...
26:27...I have a Tabby...
26:28...and that actually goes back to something quite special.
26:31And that was a silk...
26:32...a strong...
26:33...striped silk...
26:34...that was originally found in a quarter of Baghdad.
26:38Um, and that quarter of Baghdad was called a Tabbya.
26:41Um, and it's thought because of the sort of...
26:43...striped effect of the silk.
26:44It was often water shot as well.
26:46It reminded people of the coat of...
26:48...the Tabby cat.
26:49Which I quite like.
26:50Oh, wow.
26:51Very good.
26:52Excellent.
26:54Thank you very much.
26:55Thank you very much.
26:56Thank you very much.
26:58Lovely. So, 58 plays. 54, Stephen on 58. Alexander.
27:03Now then, off we go. Letters game.

30:10That's absolutely fine.
30:11Now, what's the corner got?
30:12Well, there is a trademark in there that has got the lower case.
30:17So you can have it and that's cat's eyes, cat's eyes.
30:20Indeed.
30:21Well done.
30:27OK, now, Alexander, numbers game.
30:30You're still in the game here. Off we go.

33:07You ready?
33:08All right, fingers up.
33:09Buzzers, let's roll today's second crucial countdown.
33:19Bye.
33:24Stephen, is it Glimmert?
33:30Glimmert.
33:30Let's see.
33:31It might just be.
33:32It is.
33:33Glimmert.
33:37All right.
33:39Well done, Stephen.
33:44He gave you a fright, didn't he?
33:46He was a great player.
33:47He gave you a big fright, but you...
33:49He won by 10 points, which means Alexander, hard to take.
33:54You played really well.
33:55You came from behind and gave him a fright.
34:00So well done.
34:01Listen, you take this back to Hackney.
34:04Well done.
34:05And we shall see Stephen tomorrow.
34:07Well played.
34:08Jenny, are you coming back tomorrow?
34:09Yes.
34:09Yes, yes.
34:10Unless Alexander's got me a new job.
34:13We'll see you both.
34:14See you tomorrow.
34:15See you then.
34:16Jenny and Susie, and of course Rachel.
34:17We'll see you tomorrow.
34:18I shall be taking the stairs.
34:19Back to the dressing room now.
34:20Not going near any lifts for a while.
34:22No more lifts.
34:23All right.
34:24We'll see you.
34:24See you then.
34:25Join us then.
34:26Same time, same place.
34:27You'll be sure of it.
