00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown on Wednesday, April the 10th.
00:34The entire studio adorned in different shades of pink.
00:38Not because Barbie 2 is being released, but because it is the International Day of Pink.
00:43A really good story behind it, actually, but truth is, we don't need an excuse to wear pink.
00:48A lot of our wardrobe is pink anyway.
00:50Yeah, I mean, you don't have to twist my arm.
00:51Did you know it came about after a couple of students witnessed a gay student in Canada being bullied for wearing pink?
00:59They then started to spread around the school, wear pink tomorrow to school in solidarity,
01:05and it started to spread, and the next day, almost, the entire school turned up in pink.
01:11So, therefore, the two bullies were highlighted for not wearing pink that day.
01:15And then it sort of spread through schools in Canada, spread throughout North America, and then it's quite a recent phenomenon, and then it's sort of become the International Day of Pink.
01:24It's a lovely story, isn't it?
01:26Really, it sounds like something out of a film, doesn't it?
01:27Yeah.
01:28A really good way to, you know, proverbially say no to the bullies.
01:32Yeah.
01:33Well, Rachel, bringing the pink in Dictionary Corner today as well, our J of the D, Susie Dent, making her debut this week.
01:39You'll have seen her on BBC Breakfast, you'll have seen her on This Morning, now you'll see her on Countdown, the NHS GP specialising in women's health issues.
01:48Dr. Naga Arif is back with us.
01:53We all look great today, apart from me, but there you go.
01:56Jessica, you look great today, our champion.
01:58How are you?
01:59I'm feeling pink.
02:01Tickled pink.
02:01Well, you should be, because I know you'll love these stats, but you've got 531 points so far, so you're averaging about 106.2.
02:09Let's see if this will be your last total today.
02:12We will find out.
02:13You're going up against Mark O'Shaughnessy from Wall's End and Newcastle-upon-Town.
02:17How are you, sir?
02:18I'm great.
02:18Thanks for having me.
02:19Good.
02:19Listen, and freshly married, and if we go all the way back to when you met your wife, Susie Dent plays this random part in it.
02:27Yeah, so when we actually got talking, just stumbled across each other in a local pub and just got talking.
02:35I just happened to ask her what she wanted to do in the future, and she said that she wanted to be a lexicographer.
02:40And I just said, oh, like Susie Dent.
02:43And she'd never had that response before.
02:44Nobody had recognised what a lexicographer was.
02:47So that's got us continuing the conversation.
02:49Yet despite the fact your entire happiness is tied into Susie Dent, you called your kids Taylor and Ellis.
02:55Lack of respect there, Mark.
02:56Lack of respect.
02:57Wait for a girl.
02:59Well, good luck to you today.
03:00And Jessica, let's do it.

12:49yes if you say ten over ten is one add the one to the six and the seventy-five for eighty-two
12:57eighty-two times nine is seven hundred and thirty-eight and then you can take away the fifty six eight eight
13:03what work
13:06it's forty-two place thirteen as we pause again to have a chat with our good doctor Arif
13:12now I've said at the top of every show specializes in women's health issues yet we haven't talked about them yet
13:18so let's do that let's do that today in particular misconceptions
13:22lots of misconceptions and myths and I make social content media content as well and I make it in different languages
13:28and I've written a book called the knowledge because what I decided to do is share my knowledge of women's health
13:32and the nuances is really different so one of the biggest thing I talk about is menopause and the nuances of menopause
13:39so if you look at language particularly when it comes to women's health in ethnic minority communities
13:45for me I speak Punjabi as a first language we don't actually have a particular word for menopause
13:50we sort of do so there's something called
13:53and in Urdu we were just saying this is banji banji is translated as barren and in Arabic the translation is the age of despair
14:03that's what happens when you're in the menopause and for me as a doctor it's a natural transition that happens
14:09it's a genetically programmed that women will go through this and perimenopause is when you have periods but menopausal symptoms
14:15varying from hot flushes to aches and pains and then the nuances is is that actually in ethnic minority women
14:22so if you look at black and Asian women they don't ever complain of hot flushes so as I was saying I grew up in a mosque
14:28and I went to the women at the mosque who were complaining of lots of symptoms and I said I think that's menopause
14:35and they looked at me and they just went no no no white women get menopause and that was when I realised oh my goodness
14:41the concept of symptoms means that they don't feel that it's something that happens to them
14:46because as I said to a woman who is from Dubai do you get hot flushes and she went stand in the 50 degree heat in Dubai
14:53you'll know what a hot flushes yeah so it's always constantly trying to fight those misconceptions
14:59of how symptoms are and whether you think they're valued enough to present to the doctor
15:04but it it's about action though isn't it yeah like you can talk all you want but things have to change
15:09and I feel they there are steps forward when it comes to menopause like there's a there's at least I know it doesn't
15:16cover all medication unfortunately but there is this kind of yearly price for prescription which is fairly new
15:21which while not perfect is it is a step forward right?
15:24It is and the fact that on countdown we're having a conversation about menopause I'm so happy about this
15:29because there are so many misconceptions and we think that it only happens to certain groups
15:34and in fact I was saying to a colleague of mine do you remember when we were at medical school we thought celiac only
15:39happened to Irish women or sickle cell only happens to black communities or thalassemia happens to Asian women
15:44and when we come back to menopause it happens to sort of a hundred percent of women who are menstruating who will go through that change
15:51but actually taking away the layers of misconception that we have around cultural things and then actually giving access to women to the care
15:59hormone replacement therapy is first-line treatment but also lifestyle understanding the nuances of their faith that might play a factor as well
16:06and if you look at sort of Chinese or Japanese women they think of this as a time of celebration it's amazing your periods have stopped
16:13this is great but it's a longer term health so looking after your brain your heart and your bone health which is so vital
16:19Right back to the game and we'll do our letters back to it Jessica
16:25I'll start at the consonant please Rachel thank you Jess W and another H and a vowel A and a consonant T and another consonant Y and a vowel E and another vowel O a consonant R

20:46Dick used a lure when fishing to catch this.
20:50APPLAUSE
21:04Hello again. Interesting Tea Time teaser.
21:08Dick used a lure, apparently, when fishing to catch this.
21:12And is it luderic or luderic, Susie?
21:14Luderic, I think, but although you can pronounce it either way.
21:17And it's an edible herbivorous fish of Australasian coastal waters.
21:22And its name comes from an Aboriginal language, Ghanay.
21:24Yeah. Yeah. Never had one in my life.
21:26Nor me. Never seen it in a menu. Nothing.

23:01We couldn't get further than seven, did we?
23:02We got recount, counter or trance, which I hadn't heard of before.
23:07It's a trance someone is to win decisively.
23:10Yeah, like, you know, 8-0 in the football is a trance scene.
23:12That's a trance.
23:1473-29 is not a trance scene,
23:16especially after we've seen what Jessica can do.
23:19Six wins under the belt already.

24:26That'll do us, Jessica.
24:27A seven.
24:28Ah, well, you don't sound sure.
24:30Yeah, I'm not sure.
24:31Mark?
24:32I'll play just a five, then.
24:34Yeah, you may as well, eh? What's the five?
24:36A scone.
24:37I wonder if you've got to say a word written down that I have. Go ahead.
24:40A tones.
24:41No, a tones, Susie.
24:43A tones is six, with two T's.
24:45Oh, that, a tone.
24:47Er, no. It's not there, I'm sorry.
24:49Yeah.
24:50Negat, what actually is there?
24:51You can only find seven, contest.
24:53But your five counts, Mark.
24:55Good tactics, good tactics.
24:56Four rounds still to go as we get our origins of words.
25:01Susie Dent, what are we talking about today?
25:03Well, I'm doing a bit of an improv.
25:05I decided to concentrate on pink,
25:09because we were talking about various associations with pink.
25:11Obviously, that was the theme of the top of the show.
25:14And it's a lovely thing, because, you know, people say,
25:17what came first when it comes to orange, the colour or the fruit?
25:20And the answer is always the fruit.
25:22We name the colour after that.
25:25And pink is quite similar, actually.
25:27You might think, what came first?
25:28The pink, where there's a flower, which is beautiful,
25:31usually pink, but it can also be purple and white as well.
25:34So, did that come first, or did that come after?
25:37You might think after, but, no, it was the flower that came first,
25:39and we named the colour after it.
25:41And very similarly, in other languages, they call this colour rose.
25:46So, they think of a pink rose and, you know, straight forward from there.
25:52And it was Shakespeare who began to use pink in a slightly different way.
25:55So, in his time, if you said that this was the flower of our times,
26:00it means the very, very best of our times, the supreme example of something.
26:05And he, as he did so often with his wordplay, he kind of punned on that.
26:09And he said in Romeo and Juliet, I am the very pink of courtesy,
26:13because he knew the pink that was the flower that gave us the colour in the end.
26:17And that's what really gave us the inspiration for saying, I'm in the pink.
26:21I'm in, you know, great health, flourishing, et cetera,
26:25which has survived to this day.
26:27And you might also think, if you're a gardener, about pinking shears.
26:30When you pink a flower, you cut it.
26:33And if you pink as material as well,
26:36you're sort of cutting little eyelets into it, almost.
26:39Not quite sure where that comes from.
26:41We don't think it is the colour.
26:43And it might simply be onomatopoeic.
26:45Pink, pink, pink, pink, sort of like a little cut, possibly.
26:48And that also gave us the pinky that is our little finger,
26:52because it kind of looks like a finger that has been cut off.
26:55Fantastic. Thank you.
26:56APPLAUSE

29:47Jessica? Just a five this time. A five. I'll let you say just there.
29:51And Mark? Five. Five. Jessica? Badge. And Mark? Badge as well.
29:58Pass that over. Yeah. All right, Dictionary Corner,
30:01you're in a big conversation, or have you spotted something that isn't dog pie?
30:04We were discussing Love Island, cos I said pied, cos they're pied.
30:09Is it a lot on Love Island? Pied off.
30:13Not that sense in the dictionary, but pied is there for a four,
30:15and we can only go one better with five-paged. But, yeah, really tricky.
30:19Not to go on about it, but that comes from proper old school,
30:22being custard pied in the old silent movies and stuff.
30:28There was a lot of that one. It was all slapstick humour back in the day.
30:31There you go. Language goes full circle.
30:3384 plays, 45. And Mark, last numbers. Another ten points.
30:39Let's go three from the top, this time, please, Rachel.
30:42Three large, three little to mix it up,
30:45but the final one of the day. And this last selection is four,
30:49seven, seven, 50, 100, and 75. And the target, 578.
30:58Five, seven, eight. Numbers up.

31:245, 7, 8. Mark?
31:33Um, not... Not anywhere near.
31:36It's been a long afternoon. It has. Jessica? Yeah, 5, 7, 8.
31:39Off you go. 7 times 75.
31:425, 2, 5. Add the 50. 5, 7, 5.
31:45The other 7 minus 4 is 3 and add it on.
31:495, 7, 8. Well done again.
31:51APPLAUSE
31:54Nice one. Gets you to 94.
31:56Jessica, only once have you been below 100 in all of your wins so far.
32:00So that's a little mini-challenge for you to push this one into three figures.
32:03But Mark, if we just rewinded the clock 20 minutes,
32:06the idea of you getting over 50,
32:08you would have bitten the arm off for that, wouldn't you?
32:11Yeah, absolutely. I think she's a great contestant.
32:13Yes. Well, listen, more power to your elbow for getting close to the half-century
32:17and you can surpass it now.
32:19Let's get your fingers on the buzzers.
32:21We've got an important ten points to play for in our Countdown Conundrum.
32:33Jessica?
32:34A Reign.
32:35A Reign.
32:36Let's have a look.
32:37A Reign.
32:38Again, the ING, fool's gold, that's why I didn't get it.
32:44Mark, were you stuck on the ING there?
32:46I was thinking the ING, that's what it was.
32:48Now, only one last thing for you to do after the credits roll is,
32:51obviously, your wife Annabelle's here.
32:53It's all coming full circle from that first meeting.
32:55You can have a picture with Susie Dent.
32:57It was meant, it was fate, it was written in the stars.
33:00That's a reason the comment itself.
33:01Highlight of the day.
33:02I love it.
33:03Oh, thanks, cheers.
33:04Right, Jessica.
33:05Four seconds.
33:06Jessica, I'm guessing you're going to be the highlight of our day again tomorrow.
33:10Six wins.
33:11It feels ages ago we said you've got to get through the whole week.
33:14So we're in touching distance now.
33:16I know, I'm terrified, to be honest.
33:18No, listen, that's not unusual.
33:20You would be our seventh octo champ of this series,
33:22which is a thing I get very excited about,
33:24because we've so long to go.
33:25But everyone tightens up a bit.
33:27Everyone tightens up when they get towards that full-time whistle,
33:29so that's natural.
33:30We'll see you back here tomorrow.
33:32Negat and Susie, we'll see you back as well.
33:35Yeah, look forward to it.
33:36And, Rachel, what is on International Day of Pink?
33:39Strange question, but I think a valid one.
33:41Your favourite pink thing?
33:43Erm, can I go with the Aerosmith song pink?
33:46Yeah, of course you can.
33:47There's so many beautiful things.
33:48The cherry blossom.
33:49Lovely, beautiful.
33:50Especially, you know, sort of as we get out of those cold winter months,
33:53as we did, and you see the first cherry blossom,
33:56and it lifts the mental health.
33:57But surely the flamingo.
33:59I mean, when does that not make you happy when you see a flamingo?
34:03Well, the hungry ones will be white, so I don't know if that's...
34:06You know, with your pernickety animal facts,
34:09I'm not sure you can have that one.
34:10That's great knowledge.
34:11I've never been so fond of you.
34:12That's absolutely right.
34:13I love a white flamingo as well.
34:14All right, we're going to fly away.
34:16We will be back tomorrow.
34:17You know it.
34:18Rachel, Susie and I, you can count on us.
