00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Tuesday afternoon.
00:34If, of course, you're watching the old school way on the Gogglebox just after 2 o'clock Monday to Friday.
00:40But if you're watching later in the day or catching up later in the week, everybody's equally as welcome.
00:45Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:46And, Rachel, what we watch and how we watch it, there's so many options these days.
00:50But it's about quality content, which I think we are.
00:53And that's where it collides.
00:55I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on YouTube.
00:57The whole of the very first episode of Countdown is on there.
01:01The whole of Susie Dent's first episode of Countdown is on there.
01:05Baby Susie.
01:06And baby Susie and little baby Rich, because all of your first episode's on there as well.
01:10How about yours?
01:11Not a clip.
01:13When you search my name, it just comes up, we have no results.
01:18If I said to you, Mr. Beast, would that mean anything to you?
01:23No.
01:24Well, he's the multi-millionaire, one of the highest earners on YouTube.
01:30He's a YouTuber, more part of his elbow.
01:32He's 26 today.
01:34Right.
01:34In 2023, he earned $82 million, allegedly.
01:42Which, to put that into perspective, that's $7 million more than Susie.
01:46And only 26.
01:48Wow.
01:4826.
01:49What are we doing on telly, eh?
01:51We love it.
01:52Let's get over to Dixon Recorder.
01:54And, listen, get online.
01:56Get online and watch all of her first appearance on Countdown.
01:59And many more to come.
02:01Our Susie Dent, alongside, well, we know what will come up if we put her name into YouTube.
02:06She is a Eurovision legend.
02:08Cheryl Baker!
02:12Can't wait to have more chats with you today.
02:14And we've got our hands full, I have to say.
02:16Our returning champion, John Wittenstall.
02:20Not quite a crucial Countdown conundrum yesterday, but it was a bit of a rollercoaster, wasn't it?
02:25It was.
02:26It was a little bit up and down, and it could have gone either way, to be fair.
02:28Yeah, you did well.
02:30That was like a football manager's response, wasn't it, there?
02:33Every game's a tough call.
02:34You've just got to take them one at a time.
02:36That's what you have to do, actually, to become an octo-champ.
02:38Well, you're up against Janet Parton, who lives in Neath, originally from the Swansea Valley.
02:43How are you today?
02:44I'm fine, thank you.
02:45You know, I've got a hundred things to talk to Janet about that aren't on any of her notes.
02:50Right, check this out.
02:50You get your nails done on the Eurovision week in the same place as Bonnie Tyler.
02:55Yeah.
02:55Look at you.
02:56And her cleaner.
02:57And her cleaner.
02:59If you can win three, you'll be back here on Friday for your birthday.
03:03Get ready to lose your breath, by the way.
03:0779!
03:0979!
03:10I want to know what you eat every day and what you drink.
03:13Let me tell you, I'll be in the next 30 years.
03:15Sauvignon Blanc.
03:21I'll drink to that.
03:22Janet Bestelock and John.
03:27Off you go, John.
03:28Hi, Rachel.
03:29Hi, John.
03:29Can I have a consonant, please?
03:31You can indeed.
03:32Start today with G.
03:33And another one, please.

03:36And a third, please.

03:52A.
03:53Another vowel.

03:57And a final consonant, please.
03:59And a final M.
04:01At home and in the studio, let's play Cogedown.
04:34All right, time's up.
04:35How'd you get on, John?
04:37A seven.
04:38Oh.
04:39And for you, Janet?
04:41Just a six.
04:41Just a six.
04:42That was a, listen, very tricky first round.
04:44What's your word, Janet?
04:45Morale.
04:46Yes.
04:47And for you, John?
04:48Glamour.
04:49Yeah, well spotted.
04:50Well done.
04:51Excellent.
04:53Morale, just, just, it's a five, not a six.
04:57Just a...
04:57With an E, no?
04:58There's no E in here, unfortunately.
05:01All right, OK.
05:02Sorry, Janet.
05:02It's all right.
05:04That's all right.
05:05Don't worry.
05:06Lovely.
05:06Well, glamour's a good word to get on Eurovision week.
05:09Can you out-glam somebody?
05:11Oh.
05:12That's all I had, glamour.
05:13You did.
05:13You spotted that really early.
05:15You can't out-glam yet.
05:16You should be able to out-glam.
05:18You definitely should be able to out-glam.
05:19Yes.
05:20Excellent.
05:20Right, that's us done then.
05:21That was the top word?
05:22It was.
05:23Well done, John, you see.
05:25Best word we could find.
05:27So, Janet, let's go again.
05:28Your letters.

06:10Actually, I'm going to overrule.
06:12It was inevitable.

06:14So, aye.
06:15Three vials minimum.
06:17Let's do it.

06:59What have you got?
07:01Violest.
07:02Violest, Susie.
07:03Yes, the most vile.
07:05Absolutely fine, because vile is one syllable.
07:07So, I have to have it in the dictionary.
07:09Well done.
07:10Excellent stuff.
07:11All right.
07:11How did you get on there, Cheryl?
07:13Are you bringing home the bacon?

07:19Yay, piglets.
07:21Lovely word.
07:22Lovely word.

07:27OK, can I have the C, please?

08:29Yep, straightforward enough.
08:30Four, five, one.
08:31How about you, Janet?
08:32Four times 100.
08:35Plus 50.

12:31I love that you're using your fingers.
12:33I'm looking for Rachel to do that in the next numbers.
12:35Eight hundred and forty-five.
12:37Brilliant work.
12:38Regaling and relaying for two eights.
12:41Very good indeed.

13:417.45, the target. Janet?
13:43No, I've gone wrong.
13:45What about you, John?
13:47No, I lost it last minute.
13:48Oh, my goodness. Well, there you go.
13:50You had 30 seconds, Rach, for 7.45. How'd you get on?
13:54You're going to have to leave it with me, actually.
13:56Yeah, tricky than it looked.
13:58All right, Rach, happy days.
13:59Good timing for that, because it's our chat with Cheryl Baker.
14:02It's Eurovision week, all roads leading to Malmo in Sweden.
14:0650 years, of course, since Abbas Waterloo won the Eurovision,
14:09which we'll talk about on Friday.
14:11But we're still sort of wallowing a little bit in the glory of last year
14:15and Liverpool hosting the Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine.
14:19Did you get to go inside the arena?
14:20Tell me about what it was like actually being there.
14:23I went in a few times, actually.
14:24The first time Mike, Jay, and I were invited to participate
14:29in the semifinal, I think it was the...
14:31Yeah.
14:32I can't remember if it was first or the second semifinal,
14:34but anyway, we had to rehearse it.
14:37So we went into the auditorium and we were told where we had to go
14:41and we were dressed in ordinary clothes, you know,
14:44just tracksuit bottoms and things and T-shirts and we walked in
14:47and there was this buzz started.
14:50You know, people were going...
14:53And I kind of noticed it and then it got louder
14:57and then people started applauding.
14:59Now, I don't know if you're aware, but in every single semifinal
15:03and rehearsal, the auditorium is full.
15:06They sell tickets to the fans.
15:09And this whole place started applauding and cheering
15:13and it's making me cold.
15:14Now, I started crying.
15:16Oh!
15:17It makes you realise just how important
15:20the Eurovision artists are to the fans
15:23and they were really cheering and I went, oh!
15:26It took...
15:27It absolutely took the rug from under my feet
15:29and Jay and Mike, you know, we were astonished.
15:32It was wonderful.
15:33It's the love of the Eurovision...
15:34I said this last year and it's set most years,
15:37whether it's on TV or radio, I always say it's like,
15:39it's a place I want to live, you know,
15:40because I don't think there's any fights breaking out
15:43at Eurovision parties, do you know what I mean?
15:44No, everybody cheers everyone else on,
15:46no matter what the country, you know?
15:48Yeah.
15:48Everything about it is beautiful.
15:51It's the music, whether you like it or you hate it,
15:54it's really celebrated and it brings everybody together
15:57and I just wish politics was like that.
15:59Yeah, we could swap it round.
16:01Maybe we only give the politicians one day a year
16:03and we give Eurovision 364.
16:06I love it.
16:07Thank you, Cheryl.
16:117, 4, 5.
16:12Was that enough time, Rach?
16:13Yes, and I won't sing you the answer, but...
16:16No, please do.
16:16If you say 50 minus 9 is 41,
16:216 times 3 is 18,
16:23times those together for 738
16:25and add on the 7, 7, 4, 5.
16:28Yes.
16:31Well, euphoria for Rachel,
16:33and if this was Eurovision,
16:34you'd stay tuned right to the last jury vote, wouldn't you?
16:37It's 32 plus 31.
16:40Our champion with just a one-point lead
16:41and, John, you're choosing these letters.
16:43Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
16:45Thank you, John.

17:15A final N.
17:16Thanks, Rachel.
17:49Time's up. John. Seven. Seven from you. Janet. Seven. Eight. Eight. Eight it is, just about. What's the seven? Tenors.
17:59And what's this eight? Senators. Senators. Excellent. Well done. Very good English.
18:07Eight points. Big senators. What do we have over there, Cheryl? Senators. Yeah, and treason for seven. And that's the
18:15lot. Well, there you go.
18:15Those words should definitely not go together, should they? At 39 plus 32, lead changes hands. Very close call. John,
18:22you had one in your last game as well, so you're used to that. Janet, you're picking the letters.

21:55I've just got loads of one aways again.
21:57You have to leave it with me.
21:58That's already a multiple of 7, isn't it?
22:00Yeah, it is a multiple of 7.

24:01Er, five, not written down. OK, John, what's yours?
24:04Brace. Brace. And for you, Janet? Brace.
24:07Just show your brace over to John.
24:10Yeah, that's fine. Excellent. Well, it's five, not a brace.
24:12Well done. Can we beat that? Brace yourselves, people.
24:16Just, by one. Yes. Carby. Oh. Carby.
24:20I question that. Is that actually a word? Yeah, it is.
24:23It's not slang for a carbohydrate.
24:25It's actually, in Australian and New Zealand English, a carburettor.
24:28Thank you so much, Susie. Seven points in it.
24:31Let's score again, John. Can I have a consonant, please?
24:34Thank you, John. R. Another one, please.
24:38L. And a third, please.
24:41D. Can I have a vowel, please?
24:44A. And another one, please. E. And a consonant.
24:49C. Another consonant.
24:52N. N. And a vowel. U. And a consonant, please.
25:01And a final, R. And kind time.
25:04A. You could.
25:35John.
25:36Seven.
25:37Yes.
25:37Janet.
25:38I'll stick with the seven.
25:40John.
25:41Unclear.
25:42Unclear.
25:43Janet.
25:44Unclear.
25:44Well, it needs to be clear to John.
25:47Yep.
25:47Excellent.
25:48Seven points each.
25:49Unclear.
25:50If only for four vowels there.
25:52The letters would have fallen lovely.
25:54How do we get on in the dictionary corner?
25:56Unclear, I've got.
25:57And there's, um, uncared.
25:59An uncared.
26:00Uncared four.
26:00Yep.
26:01That will give you another seven.
26:02That's our lot.
26:03That's our lot.
26:04All right.
26:05We're in a bit of a holding pattern here, aren't we?
26:06We have four rounds left, but origins of words time.
26:09Suze.
26:09So, um, I finished with, uh, Northumbria yesterday.
26:13Um, pen.
26:14So you will find pen in many Cornish names.
26:17And it's actually one of the very few, uh, Celtic words that actually, um, survive.
26:22Um, and pen simply meant headland.
26:24And penzance was pen-sance, which actually meant holy headland.
26:29Um, which explains that one.
26:31Um, pressed.
26:32Uh, pressed is usually a corruption of priests.
26:34So preston, which actually, um, uh, a ton, meaning a farm or estate, T-U-N, belonging to a priest.
26:42That was how, um, that one originated.
26:44Stoke, uh, usually comes from, um, an old word, old English word, stock, S-T-O-C, which meant, um,
26:50a hamlet.
26:50But particularly one that was dependent on a larger settlement nearby.
26:55So Basingstoke was a kind of outlying settlement, uh, of, of a bigger one belonging to Bazaar's people.
27:01So you can see, again, how the founder of these settlements was really important in terms of names.
27:06Tree, T-R-Y at the end, is derived from a Saxon word for tree, because trees were often used
27:11as meeting places.
27:12So Coventry was actually the tree, uh, where people would meet and belong to Coffers people.
27:19And finally, wick, uh, lots of different meanings.
27:22The beginning of name, it, um, meant, sort of, vicinity.
27:25At the end of the name, it meant a trading place.
27:27So Norwich was an important trading place.
27:30Um, or a port like Greenwich.
27:31It can mean lots of different things.
27:33But, um, I know I've whizzed through these, but I hope I've given people a few clues.
27:37So when they next pass by somewhere, they'll think, I know what that means.
27:40Hopefully.
27:41Hopefully.
27:45Seven points in it with four rounds left.
27:47And, Janet, it's your letters.

29:01I'll try an eight as well.
29:03OK, Janet, what's the word?

29:06Posties.
29:07And what about yourself, John?
29:09Ponyist.
29:11Ponyist.
29:12Oh, so they're both sevens.
29:13Both sevens, yeah.
29:14P-O-S-T-I-O-S.
29:16Thanks for verifying that, Janet Forrest.
29:19Appreciate it.
29:21Love her.
29:22I love her.
29:23I'm not sure ponies would be in, actually.
29:25Posties certainly would be.
29:26So sorry about that.
29:28We could stretch you an eight, couldn't we?
29:30Well, we've got soapiest.
29:31Yes.
29:32Yeah, very good.
29:33Soapiest melodrama you've ever seen.
29:35And we have panties and pasties.
29:36Oh, you've got an interesting combination, right?
29:39Nerves shredded.
29:40Missed declarations everywhere.
29:43It's only going to get worse, you two.
29:44John, your letters.

30:51Six. Six from you. I'm taking nothing for granted.
30:55John? Lime mist. And for you, Janet?
30:58Metals. Do you need any spelling? Are we good?
31:01No, all good. All good for those. Excellent. Yes.
31:04Six points each. I think I'm more nervous than both of you.
31:07Goodness me. Right, what do we have over here?
31:10Cheryl? I only had metals. Oh, you've got weasel.
31:13Weasel, but it really did look as if there should be more there.
31:16Yeah. But yeah, just six is for us to do.
31:18Absolutely. There you go.
31:19Well, we're testing your metal here.
31:21The gap remains the same. Two rounds to go.
31:23Janet, you're choosing the last numbers.
31:25One from the top and any of the five, please, Richard.
31:28Playing it cautiously. We've odds on for a crucial conundrum.
31:31Let's see if we get there. Final numbers today are
31:34nine, eight, six, four, three, and 100.
31:40And the target, 772.
31:44772, last numbers.
31:45And the target, 792, last numbers.
31:46And every day, 70, 80, 81.
31:51And every day, 71, 70's, 70, 81, 70, 80, 80.
31:52And every day, 70, 81, 80, 81, 80, 81, 80.
31:54impressionable.
31:55And every day, 70, 81.
32:08The 100, 81, 80.
32:12Now, that's great.
32:14Toast the 85, 80, 80.
32:15And our new data comes to the 89, 80, 81.
32:177-7-2. Janet?
32:207-6-9.
32:22Three away and take a breath. John?
32:247-7-3.
32:26Ooh, for seven points to draw level.
32:30Eight times 100.
32:31Eight times...
32:33And then three times nine is 27.
32:35Take it off.
32:37Take it off.
32:38Even Stevens.
32:39Wow. Wow. 7-7-2, Rich.
32:41Yes.
32:42Um, well, nine times eight gets you your 72.
32:46And three plus four gets you seven.
32:48So times that by 100 and add them together.
32:54Well, in print, Janet and John have had some adventures,
32:58but none quite like this.
33:0071 points each. Fingers on buzzers.
