00:30.
00:31Hello, everybody.
00:32Welcome to Countdown.
00:33Thank you so, so much for tuning in.
00:35Never, ever take it for granted.
00:37It is April the 4th.
00:39And, Rachel.
00:40Do you remember not long ago,
00:42I was telling you about rats liking their bellies tickled and
00:45how they like to sing after you know what?
00:47I mean, I tried to forget, but yes, I do remember.
00:49It was a year ago.
00:50That was this day.
00:51It's rat day again today.
00:52Is it?
00:53You got it in your diary?
00:54Yeah.
00:55Because I thought you were calm.
00:55It comes up my phone.
00:56I'm not going to talk to you about rats, but I could be
00:59talking to you.
01:00about you dirty rat.
01:01Because I want to ask you a question.
01:03Terrible impression that was.
01:04.
01:05What was the first movie that you remember seeing in the
01:09cinema?
01:10Because that's.
01:10That's an entirely different experience.
01:11Well, it's not a gangster movie, if that's what you're
01:14alluding to.
01:15Yeah, it's probably something like The Lion King.
01:17First one.
01:18I think I remember my nan possibly taking it.
01:20I don't remember specifically the film, but I remember you
01:23used to go in there.
01:24You said.
01:25It was a kind of cartoons before the film started and they just
01:27used to roll on, didn't they?
01:28So you just had to time it right.
01:29So you could.
01:30get in there to watch the cartoons and then the movie and if you
01:33stayed in and snuck in there, you get the next one.
01:35I rarely use this phrase when it comes to you Riley, but those were
01:38the days.
01:39Oh, yes.
01:40When you got the.
01:40cartoons before the movies.
01:41And on that note, mine was a double bill of movies that weren't.
01:45two releases.
01:46It was Bedknobs and Broomsticks was the second movie, but I missed the
01:49first half an hour.
01:50I was so upset at the incredible journey, which was the first movie.
01:55which is such a weepy.
01:56It's about a dog and it's it's beautiful.
02:00But that was my first memory.
02:01I loved it.
02:02I remember but like walking into football stadium for the first time.
02:05the size of it, like the big screen, the popcorn.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Great experience.
02:10It was my girls for their first cinema trip recently.
02:12We went to watch wish.
02:13So continuing the Disney theme and it went.
02:15very well.
02:16I think, you know, you give toddlers some food.
02:17Yeah.
02:18And they're happy whatever you're doing.
02:19Big bright things.
02:20Well, talking about things, let's say the dictionary corner.
02:23Susie Dent joined by.
02:25Tom airs all this week.
02:26It's such a lovely treat.
02:28Susie first.
02:29.
02:30cinema memory.
02:31Uh, crying my eyes out and having been having to be taken.
02:35out of the cinema with Bambi.
02:36Bambi.
02:37Yes.
02:38Oh, so cute.
02:39It all goes horribly wrong.
02:40As you know, and I couldn't bear it.
02:42Yeah.
02:43That's my first memory.
02:44What about you, Pam?
02:45Well, I'm.
02:45I'm afraid mine.
02:46Mine was Bambi as well.
02:47I was a bit more sturdy than.
02:50Susie.
02:51I didn't.
02:52I didn't actually dissolve into tears, but I did find it heart.
02:55heartbreaking.
02:56And, and thinking back, it's quite tough for a child's film, isn't it?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Um, so, but yes, it was Bambi.
03:03I did love it.
03:04Wow.
03:05Dear old.
03:05Oh dear.
03:06I didn't think that was going to be the case.
03:07Brilliant.
03:08Well, lovely to have you back today.
03:12Well, our star attraction at the moment is Jessica Bretagne.
03:15109.
03:16I was going to say on your debut, but here's the thing.
03:20You said that you were on in 2012 and you lost by one point.
03:25And it was only when I went home, I went, hold on a second.
03:27You're only 28.
03:29So what you would.
03:30Have you been what?
03:31Like 16, 17?
03:32Yep.
03:3316 when I was at that first episode.
03:34Wow.
03:35So it must have been nerve wracking for you.
03:37Yeah.
03:38It was terrifying.
03:39My first time in a TV studio.
03:40Well.
03:40Chris Craddock is hoping to stop you in your tracks.
03:42Lives down in Somerset, originally from Rex.
03:45Maxim.
03:46How are you today, sir?
03:47I'm very well, Colin.
03:49You're the inspiration for our little.
03:50I've lived conversation at the chat because the first film actually went to that I want.
03:55I wanted to go to was with my stepfather and it was Rocky four.
03:58And I love that film to this day.
04:00And your first film is your favourite of all time, right?
04:02Yeah, it is.
04:03Star Wars A New Hope.
04:04So.
04:05That was when?
04:06I was here.
04:07I was born.
04:0877 was your first trip to the cinema.
04:10But you're only a couple of years older me.
04:11You must have went when you...
04:12How did you get into that?
04:13I went later.
04:14It was a rerun.
04:15Right.
04:16That makes sense now.
04:17Because otherwise you'd have been sneaking in the back door at three.
04:19At three.
04:20Yeah.
04:20And that's not going to happen.
04:21Well, listen.
04:22May the force be with you today.
04:24Good luck to Chris.

15:00uh what are we talking about today pam oh well i'm got i've gone green today
15:05yes because one of the best things i've ever done in my life was um to buy a piece
15:10of land to manage for wildlife because i grew up alongside
15:15hundreds of species all of which have disappeared all the
15:20cliffs and swallows and the frogs and the water voles i've seen them all disappear so i was
15:25very lucky in that i was able to um buy a piece of land which i managed for wildlife
15:30and i've planted 500 trees native trees and i've only chosen one
15:35that have got berries or flowers for pollen or cover for little creatures
15:40and um uh i did a television series a year
15:45a year or so ago about the cotswolds and one of the places we went to was high grove we
15:50were invited to high grove and i had a lovely walk around and talked about wild
15:55wildlife and this is a poem that i wrote for that program so it's just called
16:00the hedgerow but i'm being green and serious today now
16:05the hedgerow casts its shade the sparse the tall the neatly
16:10laid with campion and parsley lined and honeysuckle
16:15intertwined here a butterfly may rest and blackbirds
16:20build their sturdy nest and little creatures in the green may slip
16:25along and not be seen here may livestock sweetly browse
16:30here may sickly sheep and cows in the hedgerows
16:35rich a lure seek a comfort and a cure
16:38then black
16:40blackberries and rose hips red slows and damsons freely
16:45they shed their autumn bounty spread the news to native birds

20:34Great spot.
20:36Well done, Jessica.
20:37Anything beyond that?
20:39No, we got Fatwa as well for five.
20:42And that's our lot?
20:43I'm sorry.
20:44I'm afraid so.
20:45I tried to get Futon, but I couldn't get the end for the end.
20:49We don't add...
20:49Not even you, Palmers, are allowed to add letters that aren't there.
20:52No.
20:54Five's the best we could manage.
20:55Let's switch to the digits.
20:56Jessica, you're up again.
20:58Let's have two.
20:59Lodge.
21:00Thank you, Jessica.

21:04Third numbers, selection of the day.
21:06And they are ten, eight, six...
21:09Seven, one, fifty, and twenty-five.

21:17Goodness me, five, two, five.
21:19Number's up.
21:24Three, two, three, one, fifty...
21:25Three, two, three, one, fifty, and thirty.
21:50Let's go through the motions, Jessica.
21:52Yeah, 525.
21:53And Chris.
21:54Off you go, Jessica.
21:5550 times 10, add 25.
21:58Doesn't get much.
21:59Rich will not be rated down for us.
22:02Well done.
22:04Nice.
22:05Chris is hanging in there, isn't he?
22:07Resilient enough, keeping it interesting.
22:09Back after the break then.
22:10And this Tea Time teaser is Clip User.

24:11Yeah, I've outlasted as well.
24:12Good.
24:12You're spotting them nice and early.
24:15Good.

25:28Another 30 seconds passes. Jessica?
25:31Eight.
25:32An eight from you. Big eight.
25:33And Chris? Seven.
25:35The seven is...
25:36Reasons.
25:36He said that's so depressed.
25:38Seven.
25:39Usually we get your points, but not with Jessica.
25:41What did you spot?
25:43Seasonal.
25:43Seasonal.
25:45Seasonal.
25:46A reasoner as in, but not a seasoner.
25:48I'm...
25:48Unfortunately.
25:49And we don't have the two hours for the reasoner.
25:51I'm sorry about that.
25:52Palmares, did you spot it?
25:53Yes, we did.
25:55We actually spotted sensoria.
25:58Susie, sensoria.
26:00Yeah, sensoria.
26:01The plural of sensorium.
26:02And the sensorium is our sensory apparatus, our ability to feel.
26:08Nice.
26:08A good word to get is a warm-up, just to get you in the mood for Origins Awards today.
26:12What are we talking about?
26:12Well, we had an email from David in Coventry who asked if I can shed...
26:17any light on the saying, losing your rag when it comes to getting angry.
26:22And David writes, it's a common enough phrase for us Midlanders and often seen on TV.
26:27So he's asking me to explore it.
26:30And I'll start with rag itself.
26:32So a Scandinavian word, possibly a legacy of the Vikings, and it meant tufted.
26:37There, which of course gave us the rags that we associate with clothes.
26:42And it's also...
26:42So, so far, so good.
26:46But losing your rug doesn't really make...
26:47That makes sense, because your hair's not coming off.
26:49You're just losing your temper.
26:51And here...
26:52Rag is probably an old slang term for the tongue, because the very earliest...
26:57instances of this expression were actually to get your rag out.
27:01And so the idea...
27:02is that you were teasing or scolding or reprimanding someone.
27:06And often, that could be...
27:07as a joke or as a, you know, a tease, rather than anything particularly...
27:12angry.
27:13And that is behind the student rag.
27:16And a student rag was a sort of prank.
27:17if you like, where you would play a horrible trick on someone.
27:20And that's found from the early 19th century.
27:22And I was having a chat with Rachel about this, because rag week, when I was at university...
27:27It was fresh as a week, pretty much, but it was where you got up to no good, you behaved...
27:32boisterously, you partied, etc.
27:34And for Rachel, it meant...
27:37doing things for charity.
27:39So, I looked into this...
27:41That's what rag week...
27:42of course, when I was at uni.
27:43Well, I didn't go to uni, but for Queen's University and University of Ulstered.
27:47I was deaf, and he didn't mean that.
27:48I know.
27:49I think it's a generation thing.
27:50But I can bring the two together, because I think...
27:52while we were partying, we were also supposed to be collecting money for charity.
27:55Oh!
27:56That sense...
27:57is recorded since the 19th century, and I was at university just about after that.
28:02And I'll just finish with Wags to Riches, which is lovely.
28:07Think of...
28:07You know, you've got details like Cinderella, don't you?
28:09But it's actually a really ancient concept, and you will find this whole theme...
28:12going on throughout ancient tragedies and comedies.
28:15But the phrase was recorded in the late 19th century...
28:17when there was actually a play called From Rags to Riches...
28:20and that is recorded in an American newspaper.
28:22Thank you, Sydney.
28:23Right.
28:27Four rounds to go.
28:28Chris made up a bit of ground there just before Origins of Words.
28:31So...
28:32You know, it's the hope that kills you.
28:33Let's go.
28:34Ha ha ha!
28:35Start with the consonant, please, Rachel.
28:37Thank you, Chris.
28:38D.
28:39And another.
28:41S.
28:42And a third.
28:43M.
28:44And a vowel, please.
28:47M.
28:48O.
28:49And another.
28:50I.
28:51And a third.
28:52E.
28:53And a consonant.
28:54D.
28:55And a third.
28:56E.
28:57And a third.
28:57G.
28:58And another consonant.
28:59G.
29:00And a final consonant, please.
29:02E.
29:03A final H.
29:04Let's play.
29:05E.
29:06E.
29:07There.
29:08I.
29:09I.
29:10I.
29:36Six.
29:37Six from you, Jessica?
29:38Yeah, six.
29:39Six as well.
29:40So, sharing the spoils, Chris?
29:42Side.
29:43Yep.
29:44And for you, Jessica?
29:45Homies.
29:46Homies.
29:47All good?
29:48Yes, indeed.
29:49Excellent.
29:50Hope my homies get on.
29:51We've got midges for six.
29:52Six.
29:53And our triumph is a seven which is Hoddy's...
29:56Hoddy.
29:57Hoddy's.
29:58Hoddy's.
29:59So, they are bricklayers, labourers or assistants.
30:01Hoddy's.
30:02Yeah.
30:03And I'm sure they've got a slang for that.
30:05And then I discounted it.
30:06But Hoddy's is there.
30:07I had to ditch me because I was looking at all the Hoddy's.
30:09Moddy's and all sorts.
30:10Yeah.
30:11Hoddy's.
30:12No Goddy's, no Moddy's, but we've got the Hoddy's.
30:13Hoddy's.
30:14Yeah, we've got Hoddy's.
30:1683.54.
30:17Another letters round.

31:42No pulse.
31:43I'm afraid.
31:44Because that's it.
31:45You cannot catch up, Jessica.
31:46The gap's too big.
31:47But it's been good.
31:48You've stuck with her and she is formidable.
31:50So you should be pleased with that.
31:51Let's get the final numbers.
31:52Going from you.
31:53Could I have two large please, Rachel?

32:5375 by six, 450.
32:56Four times ten.
32:57Four tens are 40.
33:01And...
33:01Add them together and add the six.
33:03You've used your six.
33:04I've used it twice.
33:05Sorry, Chris.
33:06Okay.
33:07Spoke too soon there.
33:08Jessica.
33:09Ten over two.
33:11Ten...
33:11Ten over two is five.
33:12Times the hundred.
33:13Five hundred.
33:14Subtract the four.
33:15Well done.
33:15That'll do it.
33:16Yeah.
33:19And that means back-to-back...
33:21One hundred's for Jessica.
33:24Sensational stuff.
33:25But Chris...
33:26Ten points still going, begging.
33:27Let's see if you can snap them up.
33:29Jessica, this will beat your...
33:31score of 109 yesterday.
33:33Let's reveal Thursday afternoon's Countdown Conundrum.
33:36Go on, Jessica.
33:39For one ten.
33:40Festering.
33:40Ah, thank you.
33:41I think you might be right.
33:42APPLAUSE
33:46Well done, Jessica.

33:55Yeah, she's a good competitor.
33:56Well done to you.
33:57Safe home, mate.
33:58And Pam and Susie, we'll see you one more time tomorrow.
34:00Yes.
34:01A little...
34:01I'm looking forward to it.
34:02Rachel, question for you.
34:03What's the last movie that you went to see in the cinema?
34:05I...
34:06It was Barbie.
34:07Yes.
34:08Well, mine was very kind of...
34:11Typical, manly...
34:12Right.
34:13...going to the cinema.
34:15Mean Girls, the musical.
34:16And it was fabulous.
34:19On that bombshell, Susie, Rachel and I back...
34:21Same time tomorrow, we'll look dashing in Count On Us.
