00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio on International Children's Book Day, which of course coincides with the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, that great children's writer.
00:42Global opportunity really to persuade young children to read more, read more, and also for people to start writing children's books. Extraordinary.
00:52I remember when my little grandchildren were young and we all went away for a few days, I made the mistake of taking Aesop's fables along, because of course they're all very short stories, but there's great moral to them.
01:04Were they interested? Not a bit. I'm reading to myself. And they're such great stories. We were reading them as children and I enjoyed them.
01:12I don't know. My grandchildren are interested in what is known as technology, and their mother says, there's no technology before lunch, and all this will carry on, but they take no notice of it.
01:23I don't know. What about you? I think you could write a great children's book harnessing your knowledge and love of mathematics. Have you thought about it?
01:32I've thought about doing some books to make maths more fun, yes. Maybe one day. It's an ambition.
01:39It would be.
01:39But not the writing kind of. I'm not really a fiction reader.
01:44No, but I mean, you could harness all your knowledge and turn it, because you love children too. I think you could be a huge success in that field.
01:52Thank you, Nick. One day I'll try.
01:54Let's see who's with us. Two new contestants. We've got David Wigley. David, how are you?
02:00Very well, thank you, Nick.
02:01A retired sales manager from Boughton-on-the-Water near Cheltenham. Boughton-on-the-Water is the most charming place.
02:07Absolutely.
02:07We were taken there as kids.
02:09Full of tourists, unfortunately, at times.
02:13I was one of those once.
02:14I was.
02:15I was one of those once. Very lovely. Lovely part of the world. And you belong to two bridge clubs, and you play online with friends from all over the world. That's a great thing.
02:24Yes, I've got friends in Canada, America, Hungary. In fact, the first person I played with
02:30lived in Beirut, of all places.
02:32Really?
02:33Yeah. So, very good.
02:35Excellent. Well, you're very welcome here.
02:37You're very welcome.
02:38And you're joined by Charlie Kavanagh, a sailing instructor from Enniscorte County, Wexford,
02:43who's done four Atlantic crossings and sailed around Ireland in 2017. Atlantic crossings. Big boats, small boats?
02:53Three times on the same boat, which is a 75-foot boat, and it was very comfortable. But the other time was on a small 34-foot boat, and it was going the opposite way, from Canada back to Ireland, and it was quite tough.
03:05Did you get some bad weather?
03:06We did. We had two mini-storms in the crossing, one particularly bad. We survived, and I'm here to tell the tale.
03:13I'm glad you are. I'm glad you are. Well, good luck, Charlie. Good luck, David. Let's have a big round of applause for two new contestants.
03:20Excellent. That's a long way in a small boat, I'll tell you. And over in the corner, Susie, joined once again by Jenny Eclair for the last time, but we'll come to that later on, Jenny.
03:36We look forward to talking to you at length.
03:38Me too.
03:39Now then, David, off we go. Letters game.

08:21And the clue, the robber was so inept when he was arrested, he still had this on his head.
08:27The robber was so inept when he was arrested, he still had this on his head.
08:31Well, welcome back.
08:48I left with the glue, the robber was so inept when he was arrested, he still had this on
08:52his head.
08:53He still had pantyhose on his head, apparently.

10:21We're happy with Drained, but not with Randier, because he's got two R's, I'm afraid.
10:25Oh.
10:25I'm sorry.
10:26OK.
10:27Not quite as round as you thought.
10:30Now then.
10:32Jenny, what have you got?
10:33Oh, I've bombed out of that round.
10:36I'm really sorry.
10:36I got confused.

14:16of a paint. Yeah.
14:17And I've been taking classes. And my big problem with painting in the past has been I have belonged
14:23to the school of flat art. Nothing has ever come out of the page. Yeah, I've had this very
14:29good teacher. And we started with faces. And we did eyes and ears. And we got onto noses.
14:36And we just did noses. And I, I, do you know, my nose, I copied my, and it came out of the
14:41page. And I pushed it up on Twitter. And everybody thought it was something else.
14:47They thought it was another protruding part of somebody's anatomy. But it wasn't. It was
14:52my nose. Oh dear. Did you get all sorts of sort of funny comments? I got all sorts of
14:56sauciness. Mm. And comment. How funny. Tell me this about, now how long have you been painting
15:02for under the tutors of, uh, of this particular art master? Well, mistress. Mistress. Um, I,
15:09I go to classes when I can in between, uh, jobs. Um, but I practice at home as well. And
15:18I just, I can feel my blood pressure dropping. I'm a very bad-tempered woman, Nick. I know
15:23that. I'm a furious girl. Um, so, it's so lovely to go somewhere and feel, feel my breathing
15:31come back. And, and my fists unclench. And I'm just in the moment. Well, I'm delighted.
15:40I might start selling stuff soon. I don't know. But are you pleased with the, the advance
15:46that you're making? The progress? I am making, I am making strides, yeah. I can make things
15:50now look like they're sticking out. Like noses, you mean? Like noses. Excellent. Well, I want

20:31Just bounce that off, David, over there.
20:32Yep.
20:33And, Rachel, 5, 6, 1.
20:35Yes, there were a couple of ways.
20:37You could have said 5 plus 1 is 6 times 4 is 24.
20:4375 minus 24 is 51.
20:47And 10 plus 1 is 11.
20:49And 51 times 11 gives you 5, 6, 1.
20:52That's it.
20:53Perfect.
20:53Wonderful, Rachel.
20:57But now it's time for our second Tea Time teaser, which is Eco Charge.
21:01And the clue, she'll charge around outdoors looking for the hidden treasures.
21:06She'll charge around outdoors looking for the hidden treasures.
21:09That's because perhaps she's a geocacher.
21:34Yes, it's someone who is involved in the pastime of geocaching, and that's when items are placed
21:40in a container and then hidden at locations, and the coordinates are then posted on the
21:44internet.
21:45Oh, little caches here and there.
21:46So it's like a giant treasure hunt.
21:47Yeah.
21:48Clever.

24:39Not fair, I'm afraid, David.
24:41Did you mean the animal?
24:43Yeah.
24:44OK, that's T-A-P-I-R.
24:48Now, Jenny?
24:49Pirate for six.
24:51Very good.
24:52And Susie?
24:53There is wappity, which is a red deer that you'll find in North America.
24:57That will give you another six.
24:58And also wiretap, that's there for seven.
25:01Wiretap.
25:02Very good.
25:03So, Charlie on 62, David on 35, as we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins of words.
25:09And today, Susie?
25:10Well, today, in turn, I'm going to look to Colin Hiscock, who emailed to ask,
25:16why the word deer is used to mean both expensive and used as a term of affection.
25:23And it's a strange thing.
25:24The French use the words in exactly the same way.
25:26So, two meanings.
25:27Cher, as in that's expensive, and mon cher, as in my dear, my darling.
25:32And so, if you look back in the Oxford English tradition, you will find that deer goes back
25:38to the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic influence of those sort of invading tribes.
25:43And it's had quite a journey, deer, if you trace it through.
25:47And the very first meaning was glorious, noble, honourable, or worthy.
25:52In other words, it meant something that was valued.
25:54It was of great worth, precious, really, and very valuable.
25:59And this idea of being held in high estimation then passed gradually into a sense of personal affection,
26:04so personal attachment to somebody.
26:06And that became, as I say, the predominant notion behind it.
26:09So, to be held dear was to be thought precious, used as somebody to whom you're greatly attached.
26:15And, again, the idea of value.
26:17Deer was also used as an attribute of life and love.
26:20So, you would call someone dear heart.
26:22You would talk about your dear heart's blood, anything that was dear to you.
26:25And you'll find this sense in, as I say, riding for dear life.
26:29That sense is preserved in that expression, too.
26:32So, through all of these, you can see how this sense of something that was highly valued came to mean expensive as well.
26:38High-priced, costly, because when we value something, it's usually because it's quite scarce,
26:44and it's, as I say, highly valued and therefore quite expensive, the opposite of cheap.
26:50I mention that scarcity, because when we talk about a Darth of something, that's pronounced slightly differently.
26:55But dear is at its heart as well, because it started at a time when things were expensive through scarcity.
27:02And, finally, we have, oh dear, dear, dear, dear me, that kind of thing.
27:06That sort of exclamation of surprise, astonishment, etc.
27:09And that is probably simply a shortening of dear Lord.
27:12Oh, well done.
27:14Lovely.
27:17Wondrously done. Thank you, Susie.
27:1962 to 35. Charlie on 62.
