00:00I'll see you next time
00:30Good afternoon, good afternoon, welcome to the Cagdine studio, 1st of February and our research department said let's see what sort of firsts have excited you.
00:42And the first one they've come up with was in 1953 Sir Edmund Hillary was the first climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest with old Sherpa tensing.
00:51I sort of remember that, it was nine at the time, but I definitely remember the next first which was a year later when Sir Roger Bannister, as he now is, was the first to run a mile in under four minutes, three minutes 59.4 seconds.
01:05And I remember sitting in my father's car, I don't know where we were, listening to it on the car radio, I remember, I would have been ten years old.
01:13That was down the Iffley Road wasn't it Susie?
01:15It was, it was in Oxford yeah, yeah, Iffley Road.
01:17And Chris Chatterway I think was the pacemaker wasn't he?
01:20I don't know who that was.
01:21I think he was, I think he was.
01:22And of course it was in 1996 that the Dolly the sheep became the first cloned mammal, I think the scientists that undertook that, revolutionary work died just last year actually.
01:33Oh right.
01:33Yeah, and Dolly, I don't know whether Dolly's still with us, but she's muttoned by now I would have thought.
01:39I think once they're past two years old they're muttoned, so yeah.
01:41Are they?
01:42I think so.
01:42But mutton is wonderful, you know, with capers, caper sauce, lovely, lovely.
01:47Now then, who have we got with us here?
01:49John Ashmore, series winner back in 98, just two years after Dolly was cloned.
01:54And you're a payroll card from Great Yarmouth, and you're interested in Scrabble, and I'm sorry to burden you with this,
02:01but apparently our research department has been probing your sex life, of which apparently Dolly had very little, and Scrabble helped it.
02:11What was all that about?
02:13Well, after I last appeared on Countdown, I got involved in tournament Scrabble, and in the course of that time I met Anne, who is now my wife.
02:19Excellent stuff.
02:21And you play volleyball in Holland, why?
02:23Well, I've played volleyball for many years, and some of the people in our club have gone over to this magnificent tournament on the Dutch island of Texel for many years.
02:33Right.
02:34And I've been over there about five times now, I think.
02:37It's not beach volleyball, is it?
02:38No, it's on grass court.
02:39Grass court.
02:40Well, well done.
02:40You're joined today by Kurt Bevans, a series winner from 2009.
02:45He's a trainee actuary, is that right, Kurt?
02:47That's right, yeah.
02:47And also a big darts man, you're a darts referee from York, formerly a maths teacher, but you've chucked that in.
02:53That's correct.
02:53What does a darts referee do?
02:56A few jobs, essentially.
02:57They add the scores up, work out what scores are left, sort out problems on stage.
03:01You have second referees as well, watching out if they go into the exclusion zone, they're too close, that kind of thing.
03:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:07Are they difficult to manage?
03:09They're quite big chaps, some of them, aren't they?
03:11Well, a lot of them are getting fitter, let's say.
03:14A lot of youthful people coming through.
03:17Yeah.
03:17There's a father and son, I watched the World Championships not that long ago, something to do with chains, who's that?
03:24Bobby George and his son, Richie George, that would be.
03:27Yes?
03:27Yeah, that's the other code, there's two codes for darts, and I'm on the other code to that one.
03:31Which code are you on?
03:33PDC, Professional Darts Corporation.
03:34And they are on the?
03:36BDO, British Darts Organisation.
03:37Oh, we don't talk about those then.
03:39I don't know about that.
03:40All right, and you apparently had an embarrassing incident during a darts game, are you prepared to enlighten us about that?
03:47Um, well, I was just practicing darts at university, and bent down to pick a flight up that had fallen off, and I heard a rip, and the back of my trousers had just gone straight.
03:55There you go.
03:56Um, and I had to spend the next few minutes walking around with a massive hole in the back side.
04:00Never mind, never mind.
04:01Best place to have one, I suppose.
04:03Anyway, what I'd like to think is that we can now have a big round of applause to John and Kurt.
04:11Brilliant stuff.
04:17Anyway, we were talking about first, we've got Susie over in the corner, joined on this wonderful Friday, the 1st of February, by the great Mark Foster.
04:26And you've had a few firsts in the pool, our most successful swimmer.
04:29I mean, frankly, the statistics are extraordinary.
04:33Five times Olympian, six times world champion, ten times European champion, eight times world record holder, and twice a Commonwealth champion.
04:42That's fantastic.
04:43And you've had, of course, the Olympics, and you grew in stature.
04:47You were already eight feet.
04:48You're about 12 feet tall now, because you were sitting there next to Claire Balding, a lovely woman, actually.
04:53I've met her a couple of times.
04:54She's a great character.
04:55Yeah.
04:56And you had a great time.
04:57The best time.
04:58Well, the next best thing to do in it is actually talking about it, but I might have achieved all those things, but I've never won a countdown teapot.
05:05I'll see if I can't find one for you.
05:07There's no old broken ones out the back.
05:08I'll see what I can do.
05:09In the meantime, we've got to kick this game off.
05:12Now then, John, would you be good enough to do that?
05:15Can we start with a consonant, then, please, Rachel?

11:38No capitals there, as in the Medusa.
11:40Named after Medusa.
11:42Serpent-headed.
11:43Exactly, from myth, but no, no capital letter anymore.
11:46All right.
11:4730-all, tight game.
11:49John?
11:50Rachel awaits you.
11:51It's a numbers game.
11:53I'll have three from the top, please, and three small ones.
11:55Thank you, John.
11:56Three large ones and three little ones for you.
11:58And for the first time in this contest, the numbers are three, six, seven, 50, 75, and 100.
12:08And your target, 107.
12:11107, oh, dear.
12:12107.
12:43Very good, John. I didn't see you writing it down.
12:46I might just scribble something down that says 107.
12:49Well done. Kirk?
12:50Yeah, the same.
12:51You got it? All right. Well, let's hear from John first.
12:54Strangely enough, I added 100 to 7.
12:56I don't think we need to write that one down.
12:59And Kirk, did you struggle at all?
13:02Yeah, I did the same way. Why not?
13:03Why not? Seems a pity to get stressed over it.
13:06So, 40 all, but now it's our turn to talk to Mark.
13:10Mark, I think that when the opening ceremony of the Games was being televised,
13:16you were also on television with young Rachel Riley. Is that right?
13:20We were, indeed, yeah.
13:21Tell us about that.
13:22We're a partnership.
13:23I think actually Rachel got asked who she wanted to do the show with.
13:26Yes.
13:26And she said, I'm this really intelligent guy.
13:29Yes.
13:29But I will not go on that show without as my right-hand man.
13:32Well, what actually happened was they said that we had to share a dressing room.
13:35And I thought, who do I know that's an underwear model?
13:39And Mark agreed.
13:40Well done. Now, come on, tell us a little bit more about this.
13:42It was called?
13:43It was called The Million Pound Drop.
13:44Well done. And it was a charity thing?
13:46Yeah, it was.
13:47And you two teamed up, and what happened?
13:49Well, basically, the money we raised, or any of the couples, there were about six different couples,
13:53and the money that we all raised was going to be doubled and then given to the Paralympic sport.
13:58I think it was 12 different charities all involved in Paralympics or Paralympic sports, yeah.
14:02We got through to the end, and we won £50,000.
14:04That's terrific.
14:05I was going to say, actually, earlier, when Kurt was mentioning being on the hockey
14:09and playing darts in his trousers going,
14:13I once got on the block in China for a World Cup competition.
14:16Take your marks, bent down, and my trunk's ripped at the back.
14:20Which, obviously, I didn't know had happened at first,
14:22and this sort of laughter and stuff started,
14:24and someone came and tapped me on the side and said...
14:27And, of course, all my teammates were laughing their heads off at the other end, so...
14:30There was no hint of a breeze, only.
14:35No, we were indoors.
14:36Oh, I see. There we are.
14:38What a shame.
14:39It's now time for a tea-time teaser.
14:41Let's see what we've got for you here.
14:43Royalty is the teaser, and the clue.
14:44Between one and six, depending on how it falls.
14:48Between one and six, depending on how it falls.
15:05Welcome back.
15:06I left you with the clue.
15:07Between one and six, depending on how it falls.
15:10And the answer is aleatorie.
15:14Aleatorie?
15:15Susie?
15:15It's a great word to learn, this one.
15:17It's an adjective, and it means depending on the throw of a dice or on chant.
15:22So, random.
15:23And it goes back to the Latin.
15:24I remember.
15:25Aleatoriest.
15:26Very good.
15:26The dice cast.
15:27Crossing the Rubicon.
15:28Crossing the Rubicon.
15:30Aleatoriest.
15:30Well done.
15:31I knew I sort of knew it somewhere.
15:33Aleatoriest.
15:34The dice cast.

16:59No, we have something quite similar.
17:01I'll just double check that it's in.
17:02I'm pretty sure it is.
17:03Um, it is, yes.
17:07Very, very good.
17:08Very good.
17:08What have you got?
17:09Well, if we were at a swimming championships, Susie would win bag fours or medals?

20:17I remember scurrying around the dictionary before.
20:20It is.
20:21It's a term from botany, and it's a plant species of variety known only in cultivation,
20:25so one which has no wild ancestors.
20:27Very good.
20:28OK.
20:29Well done, Kirk.
20:31Well done.
20:32But anything else in the corner?
20:34Mark's got a cracker.
20:35Yes, Mark?
20:36Glycine.
20:37Yes.
20:38Yeah, it's a brilliant seven.
20:39I did spell it wrong, but I had the right letters in there.
20:41You did.
20:42Susie then put me right, so.
20:44I see.
20:44It's an amino acid, the simplest naturally occurring amino acid.
20:49You'll find it in those proteins.
20:50Isn't it French for wisteria as well?
20:52I could be.
20:53It comes from the Greek meaning sweet.
20:55I think it is, but I could easily be wrong at this time of the day.
21:0163 plays John's 48.
21:03John, your letters game.
21:06Consonant, please.
21:07Thank you, John.
21:08N.
21:10Another consonant.
21:12P.
21:13And one more.
21:14R.
21:17Vowel, please.
21:19E.
21:20Another vowel.
21:22E.
21:23And one more.
21:25A.
21:27Consonant.
21:29F.
21:31Another consonant, please.
21:33L.
21:35And we'll finish with a consonant.
21:38And finish with X.
21:39And it's countdown clock time.
21:41And it's countdown clock time.
22:09Interesting.
22:13John?
22:14Just a six.
22:14A six.
22:15Yes, Kirk.
22:16The same.
22:17John?
22:18Flaxen.
22:19Flaxen.
22:20Yes.
22:20And reflex.
22:21And reflex.
22:23Yes.
22:24Anything else?
22:25No better.
22:26So, reflex is there, and that gives a 69 to Kirk.
22:2954 to John, as we turn to you, Susie, for your origins of words.
22:34Delight us.
22:35Well, I'm not sure I'll delight you with this one.
22:37And I heard the Chancellor using this expression a little while back, talking about cutting benefits.
22:44And he said he made no bones about cutting them, you know, universal benefits, because some people didn't need them.
22:50And it got me thinking, well, where does that expression come from, to make no bones about something?
22:54And one theory is that it comes from the gambling table.
22:57And even today, you might hear someone say, roll those bones when they throw the dice.
23:02And bones, with this sense, goes right back to the 1500s.
23:06And so, potentially, if you make no bones, you're not trying to influence the course of the dice by any of the superstitious practices that people use.
23:13They, you know, blow on the dice, or they roll them in their hands, turn them up to show a particular number, et cetera.
23:18It's a nice theory, but the records don't quite fit.
23:21And we do know that proverbial bones are everywhere in English.
23:26We talk about having a bone to pick with someone, which is having a bone of contention to pick at or gnaw at, a bit like a dog.
23:32And back in the 1400s, another phrase was to find bones in something, as if you came across a bone while drinking a bowl of soup, which made it quite difficult to eat.
23:41And that's where this making no bones comes from, because to make bones is to make difficulties.
23:47To make no bones means you have no difficulty or misgivings at all in saying something which is quite difficult and which you're going to deal with.
23:55Good.
23:56There you go.
23:56You've got it now.
24:01Very good indeed.
24:02Well, Kirk, 69 plays 54, and it's your numbers game.
24:05So, there's Rachel.
24:06Talk to her.
24:08Just one large, five small, please, Rachel.
24:10Thank you, Kirk.
24:10Or the Kirkulator, as I'm sure you love to still be called.
24:14One large and five small coming up for you.
24:16And for this round, they are nine, six, ten.
24:20Another nine, another six, and the large one, 25.
24:25And the target, 735.
24:27735.
24:27735.
24:37Yes, Kirk?
25:00735.
25:01Well done, John.
25:02Yep, 735.
25:02OK, Kirk.
25:04Nine minus six is three.
25:06Nine minus six is three.
25:08Times nine.
25:08Times nine, 27.
25:10Times 25.
25:11Times 25 is 675.
25:13And then six times ten is 60 to add on.
25:15And the other six times the ten, 60.
25:18And you're well done.
25:20Yeah, you're there.
25:20735.
25:21Very good.
25:22And John, now a different way.
25:24Nine minus six is three.
25:25Nine minus six, three again.
25:27Times ten, times 25.
25:29Ten times 25 is 750.
25:31And take off the other nine and six.
25:33And the nine and the other six for 15 to take away.
25:36Very good.
25:37Good turn.
25:40OK, so Kirk maintains his lead, 79 against 64,
25:45as we go into a tea time teaser.
25:46And the teaser is tea album.
25:48And the clue, go for a walk,
25:50but behind schedule by the sounds of it.
25:52Go for a walk, but behind schedule by the sounds of it.
25:55Welcome back.
26:11You'll remember the clue.
26:12Go for a walk, but behind schedule by the sounds of it.
26:16And the answer, of course, is ambulate.
26:18Ambling along, ambulating.
26:20Now then, where are we?
26:22John, take it away.
26:24Slightly behind.
