00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio and our research department has been hired at it again and they report to me that it is alleged that the first, the debut performance of Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's great ballet, was performed on this very date in 1877.
00:47There's some conjecture about that but Carolyn who runs our research department is fairly firm on this.
00:53She thinks that this indeed is the very day and of course the story is of Princess Odette who's turned into a swan by some evil rotter, a sorcerer apparently.
01:03But ballet didn't take my fancy.
01:06Are you a dance fanatic, a ballet-a-main?
01:10Balletta-main?
01:11Yes.
01:11No, I am not.
01:12We'll come to Susie on that in a minute.
01:14OK.
01:14No, I think I'd be too distracted by how skinny they are and how tight the leggings are on the guys as well.
01:20Well...
01:20I think I wouldn't even get to the dancing.
01:23Yeah.
01:23There we are.
01:24I think we'll talk to Susie about ballet-a-mains later but in the meantime we've really got to introduce our contestants today.
01:31I'm starting with Dave Hoskerson, a semi-finalist from 2001.
01:37Is that right, Dave?
01:37That's right, yes.
01:38From Liverpool, an IT service manager but you did a good job against Mike White Oak.
01:44You scored 85 points and you came through on that score, I think.
01:49I did, yes.
01:50You're up against another formidable character in the person of Neil Zussman, a semi-finalist in 2009 from Halifax, a data analyst.
02:02And you beat, I think, Paul Keane in your last game by 18 points with a score of 99.
02:08So Dave came through with 85, you came through with 99.
02:12Not a big difference.
02:13You're up against, you know, even Stephen, I would have thought.
02:16Yeah, the standard's so high.
02:17Could go either way.
02:18Isn't it good?
02:19Yes.
02:19So...
02:20Great to watch.
02:21Well done.
02:21Big round of applause for Dave and Neil.
02:26Very good.
02:27And Susie's over there.
02:28Susie, did I get it right?
02:29You got it absolutely right.
02:30Thank you very much.
02:31A ballet enthusiast.
02:32And it comes from ballet mania.
02:35Is that right?
02:35It's working backwards in the mania.
02:37OK, jolly good.
02:38And you have the good doctor next to you, who has been a triumph once again.
02:42Oh, thank you.
02:43In solving the nation's problems this week.
02:45What have you got for us today?
02:46Or shall we come to that a little later?
02:48I've got some interesting stuff.
02:49I'm doing a show called Games to Play with Your Doctor.
02:51My simple game is when your doctor won't look at you, he hides behind the computer.
02:54You come up behind the computer screen and you go, beep-boo, like that.
02:57A very simple game, you'll get his attention.
02:59Well done.
03:00Now then, let's get this game underway.
03:02Dave, would you do the honours?
03:04Hi, Rachel.
03:05Hi, Dave.

04:22No, I'm going to have a guess.
04:23Is epi-dote a word for seven?
04:25Epi-dote, isn't it?
04:26It is.
04:26It's a lustrous yellow-green mineral.
04:29Fantastic.
04:29An epi-dote.
04:30Very good.
04:31Well done, Dr Phil.
04:32Anything else?
04:33Well, there's peridot as well, which is a semi-precious stone.
04:35So a few jewel-like things in there.

09:39What else have we got over in the corner?
09:41Well, I've got a viva.
09:42Facial reminds me of my viva, because in my anatomy, viva, as a medical student, I was asked what the branches of the third branch of the facial nerve.
09:49I said, I've got no idea.
09:50He said, well, any branch of the facial nerve.
09:51I said, well, I can't remember.
09:52He said, any nerve.
09:54Any nerve in the body.
09:55I said, well, no, my mind's got any part of the body at all.
09:57Name any part of the body.
09:59I said, no.

11:116, 2, 1, a bit away.
11:13Yes, Neil?
11:146, 1, 8, not written down.
11:156, 1, 8.
11:16We're going to hear from you, then, Neil.
11:184 minus 1 is 3.
11:204 minus 1 is 3.
11:21Times 8.
11:2224.
11:23Times 25.
11:24600.
11:25Add for two nines.
11:26Yeah, and you're one away.
11:28Very good.
11:30And it's possible, perhaps?
11:33Perhaps.
11:33I will have another quick look.
11:35Very good.
11:3619 to 13, Neil Leeds now,
11:39as we turn our attention to our daily surgery.
11:44Yes, Doctor?
11:45Yes, we know how I work hard to have a theme for my presentations,
11:48and obviously on Monday we had Tickling It Better.
11:50Susie's still really into this.
11:52You're like, look at that.
11:52I'm going to try not to make a noise.
11:53It's just wonderful.
11:54So we had Tickling It Better, then we had Knitting It Better.
11:56Yes.
11:56My theme today, don't be aghast, is Kissing It Better.
12:00Ah.
12:02It's something that the nurse always said, your mum often did.
12:04I've offered it to patients.
12:05I've now been referred to the General Medical Council, so I don't mean literally, but I
12:09mean those acts of kindness that make a real difference.
12:11I have this wonderful patient.
12:12They all called Maureen today.
12:14Maureen is tired all the time.
12:15It's the most common mnemonic in medicine is TAT, tired all the time.
12:19And they go through all these treatments and all these investigations.
12:23You usually end up with teeth, which is tried everything else, try homeopathy.
12:26But Maureen, she came to see me.
12:28She was tired.
12:29She was so tired, she didn't think she could walk home.
12:31And I thought it was a random act of kindness.
12:33I had to go out on all my visits.
12:35And I thought, well, I'll give her a lift home, because she couldn't afford the money
12:37for a bus or a taxi.
12:38So I got about six visits to do, and I know where Maureen lives.
12:41And I had quite a low seat car there.
12:43And I realised when I got her in the front seat, the mistake that I'd made, because I
12:46drive her around to her house.
12:48Her hips are below her knees.
12:49I can't get her out of the car.
12:51I've got six visits to do.
12:52And Maureen is stuck in my car.
12:55And I can't, with all my might, get her out of the car.
12:57So the only thing I could do was drive around on all my visits.
12:59And I thought, this is going to be awful.
13:00But in fact, she'd lived in Keynesham all her life.
13:04She knew absolutely everything.
13:05She knew all the little shortcuts to go.
13:07And all the patients I visited, obviously, she knew where the houses were.
13:10It was quite awkward in terms of a confidentiality thing.
13:12But she could tell me all sorts of bits of information, what they were like.
13:15And it was wonderful.
13:16She told me where to have a really good pub lunch, where no other patients would go in
13:19and spot me.
13:19I had a whale of a time, just through that slightly random act of kindness.
13:23If you put kissing it better into your favourite search engine, rather than anything
13:28disgusting, you get the name of a wonderful charity that I'm now a patron
13:30of.
13:31And it builds on this principle of putting kindness and humanity back into health
13:34care.
13:35And it's run by a couple of nurses, one of them called Jill, whose mother had
13:39dementia.
13:39And she noticed that in care homes and in hospital wards, those little things to
13:44change the environment can make a big difference.
13:45So she encourages young people to go into hospital and play Scrabble or word games
13:50with people in care homes.
13:51She gets people to come in and sing.
13:53So she'll get volunteers to come in, choirs to come in and sing.
13:55She gets manicurists from the local community to come in and do people's nails.
13:58So think about it.
13:59Go on the website and think what you could do in your local hospital or your local
14:02care home.
14:03Just to go in there.
14:04You might have a skill.
14:04You might be able to sing or play or demonstrate or just sit down and read or play Scrabble.
14:09Take some lovely scented flowers in there.
14:11It just could make a huge difference and something very simple that you could do to turn around
14:14the NHS.
14:15Very, very good.
14:16Well done.
14:19Now then, Rachel.
14:20Can I only find one way?
14:22There might be more.
14:23But if you say eight minus one is seven.
14:25Times four is 28.
14:28Times 25 is 700.
14:30And then nine times nine is 81.
14:34And you can take that away.
14:35619.
14:36Very good.
14:37We only want one way, really.
14:39One way is perfectly good.
14:41And now it's time for tea time teaser, which is mild beam.
14:44And the clue.
14:45You can have a mild beam or a bright beam with this bulb.
14:48You can have a mild beam or a bright beam with this bulb.
15:07Welcome back.
15:08I left you with the clue.
15:09You can have a mild beam or a bright beam with this bulb.
15:12What sort of bulb?
15:13A dimmable bulb.
15:16Dimmable.
15:16Now then, Neil, 19 to Dave's 13.
15:20Plenty of time.
15:21Plenty of time for Dave.
15:23But now it's Neil's letters game.

16:43And had condoled, as in express sympathy.
16:46A bit like Kiss It Better, express sympathy for somebody to condole.
16:49I had crooned and noodles.
16:50He crooned into his noodles.
16:52That's what I will do on a Thursday, generally.
16:54Very good.

19:52Not more than five, but I've got ageist, which is an uncommon spelling of ageist without the E. But Susie's got something fascinating about cattle. Yes.
20:01Well, yes, a gist, if you pronounce it slightly differently, just means to take in livestock in return for payment. It's not that fascinating, but they used to do it a lot in the Middle Ages.
20:10Well, it's fascinated me. And me. Yeah. And you reckon it means what? To take in...
20:15It means to take in livestock, in other words, to look after cattle, etc., and to be paid for it.
20:20But you can be an ageist a gist and only take in young livestock.
20:24That's true. Very nasty. That's true. So if you're a farmer with grassland, you take cattle in to fatten them up.
20:30That's a gist. Yes. That's to a gist, yes. Very interesting. In fact, riveting. Thank you.
20:3534 to 32 says Neil's in the lead. And Dave, your letters game.

21:50Seven. Neil?
21:51Probably the same seven.
21:52OK. Dave?
21:54Parried.
21:55Parried.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Very good.
21:57So they're parrying each other here at 41 to 39, but in the corner.
22:02Anything else?
22:03Airdrop.
22:03Can I have that?
22:04Very good.
22:05Airdrop.
22:06That's a 17.
22:07Yes.
22:07You threw something out of an aircraft?
22:08Yep.
22:09To drop emergency supplies, for example.
22:10OK.
22:11It's an airdrop.
22:11So you've got a diaper, I've noticed that.
22:13I have got a diaper.
22:14Diaper for six.
22:15I knew them very well at one point.
22:16OK.
22:18Yeah.
22:19The trouble is, when you get to my age, you think you might be needing them before too long
22:23again in the future.
22:24Now then, airdrop.
22:25How kind.
22:2641 to 39, says Dave's in the lead, but now it's time for us to concentrate, sharpen our pencils,
22:31get our bits of paper out.
22:32Now, look towards you, Susie, for your origins of words.
22:35Well, I've been talking this week a little bit about expressions that come from the seas
22:42of nautical origin.
22:44And one that you might well guess, Phil certainly did, was learning the ropes.
22:48Why do we learn the ropes?
22:50And we do learn them because sailors used to in the 18th and 19th century.
22:54And in those days, and there were very large sailing ships that were propelled by these vast,
22:59vast sails.
23:00And they were all connected with a very intricate webbing of ropes.
23:04You use these ropes to speed up, slow down, turn around.
23:07And in fact, pretty much everything.
23:08And so they were absolutely essential to the good running of the ship.
23:12And needless to say, those who handled the ropes had to be very proficient and competent
23:17indeed.
23:18And only those who were the most trusted would be assigned to learn the ropes.
23:22But that's why we talk about it still, two centuries on.
23:25But handling these ropes would mean that you would be far from footloose and fancy free
23:29because they were so complicated.
23:31And this might well come from sailing days as well, because the foot in question is the
23:35bottom part of the sail of a boat.
23:38And if it became detached from the boom, the lower half of the sail was called footloose.
23:44And on some ships, such as the London Barges, there wasn't a boom at all.
23:48And so the sail was allowed to hang loose by the foot.
23:53And these sails, too, were said to be footloose, blowing happily in the wind and possibly fancy
23:57free.
23:58And we think that's where that one comes from.
23:59Well, that's a craft.
24:00That's wonderful.
24:01Thank you very much.
24:04Yeah.
24:05You couldn't have made that up.
24:07I mean, it's well done.
24:08Thank you very much.
24:0941 to 39 says that day's in the lead.
24:14Neil, it's a numbers game.
24:15Your numbers game.
24:16And there's Rachel.
24:16I'll go for six more, please.
24:18This has been a special.
24:19Thank you, Neil.
24:20Six little ones for us.
24:22And for this round, the little ones are seven, three, four, five, six, and another four.
24:33And the target to reach 237.
24:35237.
24:36237.

25:10237.
25:11237.
25:11Now then, Neil.
25:1225, 4's a 20.
25:1425, 4's 20.
25:16Plus 3.
25:17Plus 3, 23.
25:186 and 4 is 10.
25:196 and the other 4 is 10.
25:21Multiply them together.
25:22230.
25:23And add for 7.
25:24Nicely done.
25:25237.
25:25Very good.
25:26Yes, Dave?
25:27I did 4 times 4 times 5.
25:294 times 4 times 5 is 80.
25:327 minus 6 is 1.
25:34Yep.
25:3579 times 3.
25:3679 times 3.
25:37Well done.
25:38237.
25:39Very good.
25:41237.
25:42So, 51 to 49, says Dave, is just in the lead.
25:47But now it's time for a tea time teaser, which is Trap Iris.
25:50And the clue, does it assist a take-off at altitude?
25:53Does it assist a take-off at altitude?
25:56And the answer is airstrip.
26:18Airstrip.
26:19Now then, 51 to 49, my word.
26:22Close run thing here.

29:36I don't talk to her. She's so white now. How does she smell? Smells good. She smells very good, because she gets washed.
29:46You wash your dog? No. I have somebody else do it. A small boy comes in and washes her dog for you. You must be rich.

31:19Tankard is in there for seven as well.
31:21All right.
31:2270 plays 65.
31:24Neil's stolen a five-point lead as we come into the last numbers game of the day.
31:29Neil?
31:30Six more again, please.
31:31Six again.
31:32Worked well for both of you last time.

32:27Six over two is three.
32:29Times nine, times ten.
32:31Times nine, 27, times ten, 270.
32:34Yes, Dave.
32:35Exactly the same.
32:36Same route.
32:36Well done.
32:38APPLAUSE
32:38Very good.
32:42So, 80 plays 75.
32:44As we come into the final round, it's conundrum time.
32:48Gentlemen, fingers on buzzers.
32:49Let's reveal today's countdown.
32:51Crucial countdown.
32:53Conundrum.
32:53Yes, Neil?
33:00Stage hand.
33:02Stage hand.
33:03Let's see whether you're right.
33:05Well done.
33:06Well done, Neil.
33:07APPLAUSE
33:07Well done.
33:12Good performance.
33:13Brilliant.
33:14And you, young man, are meeting Jonathan Rawlinson in the quarterfinals tomorrow.
33:19So, early to bed tonight, if he's of kind.
33:22Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
33:23Very good.
33:24Very good.
33:24And I'm sure he is too.
33:26Dave, good performance, but O'Neill was on form today.
33:30He was too good for me today.
33:31He was good.
33:32All right.
33:32So, listen, take this teapot home with you and take the trophy to gaze at.
33:37It's made of Crips now, don't you know?
33:39Yeah.
33:39You'll enjoy that.
33:40Travel safely home.
33:42Susie, see you tomorrow.
33:43See you tomorrow, Nick.
33:44And Dr. Phil, we want to talk.
33:46Have we got a minute to talk about your, um, your tour?
33:50Yes.
33:51Next time, in the autumn.
33:52It's the idea that the whole of medicine can be turned into a game.
33:55Yes.
33:56Diagnosing your doctor is an interesting one.
33:58Is your doctor sicker than you are?
33:59That's quite fun.
34:00How clean is your doctor?
34:01That's another one.
34:02You know when you go and have your ears tested?
34:05They always put this thing in your ear and they go,
34:06Ooh, there's a little bit of wax in there.
34:08Yeah.
34:08It's not your wax.
34:09It's a bit of wax left behind in the earpiece.
34:12So, lots of games that you can play.
34:13You check his earpieces, smell his thermometer, have a little check of his telescope.
34:16There's lots of games.
34:17So, it's basically reducing the whole of the medicine.
34:19So, tomorrow, I'm going to be teaching you how to make your own diagnosis,
34:21how to diagnose your doctor, how to get the best treatment,
34:24all using, uh, apps on a mobile phone.
34:27Excellent.
34:27In fact, you can diagnose anything.
34:28Brilliant.
34:28And I'll be using this tomorrow night.
34:30In Guildford, I'll be tickling people in the audience at the Yvonne Arno Theatre.
34:33Yes.
34:33Some seats still available near the front.
34:35LAUGHTER
34:36Excellent stuff.
34:38We'll see you tomorrow.
34:39Brilliant.
34:40Brilliant.
34:41And these two, now, tomorrow, Neil's back again.
34:44Yep.
34:44No rest for the wicked.
34:45I know.
34:46Excellent stuff.
34:47And we'll see you tomorrow again.
34:48See you tomorrow.
34:48Look forward to it.
34:50OK.
34:50Tomorrow, same time, same place,
34:54Neil Zussman and Jonathan Rawlinson will fight to the death,
34:58and we hope that you'll be, uh, here to watch the fun.
35:01Look forward to seeing you then.
35:03Good afternoon.
35:04APPLAUSE
35:05And if you've ever heard the words disappearing bathroom
35:17and wondered what, or indeed where it is,
35:20then tonight at nine, back for a new series,
35:22George Clark's Amazing Spaces has all the answers.
35:26Next is afternoon.
35:27A place in the sun, home or away.
