00:17Thank you very much
00:31Good afternoon, welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34It's Friday and, ah, the weekend is full of glitz and glamour.
00:39Oh yes, for instance, coming in from Tel Aviv is the Eurovision Song Contest
00:45with all those extraordinary, extravagant performances,
00:47not just vocally but also in appearance-wise, presentation.
00:50And good luck to our very own Michael Rice, who will be performing,
00:55trying to bring something home for us for once.
00:57It's been a long time, Rachel.
00:59But also, down on Sunday, if you can't make it to Tel Aviv
01:02or you can't bear to switch the television set on,
01:05down in Hove, on the seafront there, there is something called the Superhero Run.
01:10Now, the thing is that lots of mums and dads and their kids
01:13will dress up in their favourite superhero costumes,
01:16make a dash for the finishing line.
01:18Fun, and it's all for charity, why not?
01:20And if you happen to be in Hove, who would you dress up as?
01:24Who is your favourite superhero?
01:26My favourite superhero has got to be Deadpool.
01:29Who?
01:30Do you know Deadpool?
01:31No.
01:31Oh, it's the film for you, Nick.
01:33Go on.
01:34What does he look like, or he, or what is it?
01:36Well, Ryan Reynolds plays Deadpool,
01:38and he's kind of the superhero, anti-hero hero.
01:41Yes.
01:41He's very rude.
01:43Right.
01:43Very rude.
01:44Like that.
01:44And very rude.
01:45Excellent.
01:46That's pretty much all you need to know about Deadpool.
01:47Very funny.
01:48I'll do it?
01:49Yeah.
01:49Perfect.
01:50Yeah.
01:50All right.
01:51I'll tell you who has been really extraordinary.
01:53Well, you know, as well as I do, because he's here.
01:55He's back.
01:56It's Elliot Mellor.
01:58Well done, Elliot.
01:59What a performance that was yesterday.
02:01Extraordinary.
02:02Brilliant stuff.
02:03Math student at Manchester Met from Oldham.

02:08You feeling comfortable?
02:11Fairly.

02:17Good luck today.
02:17And you're joined by John Hadfield.
02:19Welcome, John.
02:20Hello.
02:20Come up from Westbury in Wiltshire with that beautiful white horse cut in the Chalk Hill there.
02:26It's lovely.
02:27And apparently, it says here, you've retired, actually, because you used to work near Heathrow,
02:32I think, didn't you?
02:33But now you're the town crier for Westbury.
02:36Is that right?
02:37Oh, yay!
02:38Oh, yay!
02:39Oh.
02:40Oh, yay!
02:44Oh, I wondered whether you were going to stop or not.
02:46Good luck, John.
02:48Have a lot of fun today.

13:53And then multiply by 7.
13:55Yep.
13:55That's it.
13:56889.
13:56Lovely.
13:57Well done.
13:58Well done.
14:01OK.
14:02So, rather neatly, 71 plays 17 as we turn to Dr Phil.
14:08Now, I've been going around the country, as you know, collecting a people's plan for the
14:12NHS to make up one of my Edinburgh shows.
14:15I'm just going to show you a couple of these are tips from the audience on how to save the
14:17NHS.
14:18I'm suspecting one of these came from a doctor.
14:21It said, patients who come in with a list of three or more problems per 10-minute consultation
14:25should also bring the doctor a gin and tonic or a bottle of Prosecco.
14:29That's a nice idea to improve the NHS.
14:31This one, I think, is slightly more poignant.
14:33This is from an audience member who says, we're from the United States of America, where
14:36the health plan is, one, get sick, two, go broke, three, die.
14:40Whatever you have in the UK, it's better than what we have here.
14:42So, sort of reminds us how lucky we have to have the NHS.
14:46But I was thinking, really, what is the National Health Service for?
14:49In theory, it's there to service health.
14:51And in the same year it was founded, the World Health Organisation defined health as
14:55a complete state of physical, psychological and social well-being, which is almost carte
15:00blanche to take any problem you like to the doctor at all.
15:03And I was thinking about this.
15:04We were talking about it the other day.
15:05And I can remember a person who came to see me when I was a GP because they didn't believe
15:09in God anymore.
15:10And I said, why don't you go and see the vicar?
15:12And they said, well, he's only open from 10 till 12 on a Sunday, and it's rather a long walk.
15:16And to be fair, her church was a long way away.
15:19So we had a little search around to see if we could find a nearer church.
15:22And there was a fairly new church in the town called the Church of the Holy Kiss, which
15:27was accepting new people.
15:29And she went along to that and really, really enjoyed it.
15:31And it was a lovely new congregation, and they accepted new people.
15:34And after every congregation, they'd give them a hug and they'd give them a kiss, an entirely
15:38platonic kiss.
15:39And this really improved her psychological and social well-being.
15:42But there was one gentleman there who used to linger a bit on the kiss.
15:46It's very difficult, isn't it?
15:47When you're having a platonic kiss, and it's entirely a friendship-based thing, he would
15:50linger a bit long, and she would feel slightly uncomfortable.
15:53And he did it three times in a row, and she warned him not to, and she slapped his face.
15:57And there was a complete kerfuffle, and they were both temporarily banished from the church.
16:02I only found out about this because the lovely old man came to see me, 93 years old.
16:06And this old boy, bless him, he couldn't move his neck.
16:09He'd lock in for the platonic kiss, but he couldn't move his neck, so he would lock in a bit
16:12longer.
16:13Once I realised that, I got the two of them together, and she would give him a neck massage
16:17before the church service started, so he'd be able to do his kisses without lingering.
16:22Now, this was probably completely non-medical.
16:25People would say that was a waste of NHS resources.
16:27But actually, they both were much happier for what was an entirely social intervention,
16:31not medical at all.
16:32But I still think that lies at the heart of the NHS.
16:34It's actually about relationships, and it's about doing what matters most to people.
16:39And that may be entirely non-medical, but I would still argue that that's an appropriate
16:42use of NHS resources.
16:44Fantastic.
16:50Very good.
16:5271 plays.
16:5317.

18:05Gusher.
18:07Gusher, yeah.
18:08Elliot.
18:09Reusage.
18:10Okay.
18:11Gusher is in.
18:12An oil well from which oil flows profusely.
18:17Reusage is there.

20:05Yeah.
20:05Very good.
20:07Dr. Phil?
20:08I was a bit stumped by that.
20:09What's that?
20:09Where's you've got there?
20:11I have lassies.
20:12Lassies.
20:13Not in terms of the dog,

21:315 minus 4 is 1.
21:335 minus 4 is 1.
21:37Divided by 1.
21:39Divided by 1 is 1.
21:40Plus 4.
21:41Plus the other 4 is 5.
21:44And then 10 plus 100.
21:46No extra points for using all the numbers, but...
21:49LAUGHTER
21:51Well done, John.
21:53All right.

25:27good convert an atom into ions by removing electrons indeed and over in
25:32the corner dr. Phil Susie no that was that's not one as well ionized we
25:36couldn't beat that that's it yes thank you so 107 plays 33 well done Elliot and
25:41now we take a pause to listen to Susie to enjoy Susie's origins of words yes Susie
25:49well a little bit of Roman history I love my ancient Romans and ancient Greeks
25:54because so much of what they did and the way they spoke inform English as it's
25:58still spoken today and I'm going to take a very ordinary verb and that's to
26:02oscillate and oscillate is to swing backwards and forwards usually between
26:06two points and but the story behind it is really nice I think you might not
26:11easily guess that the offs part in it the OS comes from the Latin for a mouth it
26:16actually was also the root of orifice oral and instantly usher as well because the
26:22Romans used it for the sort of opening or a door that idea of a mouth and take a
26:27little bit further and also also meant more broadly a face and it's sort of
26:33diminutive form so it's kind of sweet form if you like was an oscillum which was a
26:37little face and this word was applied again in Roman times to a mask of the
26:42wine god Bacchus Bacchus known for his love of wine and for loosening
26:47inhibitions in general sort of merry-making really and this mask was hung up in
26:52vineyards as a good luck charm and he was revered particularly because according to
26:56mythology he taught people how to cultivate wine as well as ensuring a really good
27:01harvest so he would show them how to prepare wine from the fruit and but also
27:05to as I say to ensure that everything went smoothly and the little mask this
27:10oscillum would swing to and fro in the breeze hanging down from the vines and
27:14the little trees and before long oscillum was turned into a verb oscillaria
27:18which meant to swing and that's how we get oscillate which first passed into
27:22English is a scientific term sort of to move to and fro like a pendulum but today it's
27:27used a little bit more loosely but I love the idea that just goes back to this
27:30little mask and just swinging in the wind
27:33well well well
27:34very extraordinary so that's the mask was actually hung in order to swing in the
27:43wind presumably yeah well it's just it was just hung there as a good luck charm
27:48really and then the breeze would swing it to and fro and that's how we get it yeah
27:52it's remarkable thank you for that 107 plays 33 John your letters go

31:14John, your numbers game.
31:16Go on.
31:17Let's have three from the top.
31:20Three from the top and three little.
31:21And then any other three.
31:22And Elliot's hoping for a nice one, because he's on for a possible maximum ever score on countdown.
31:27So let's see what we have here.
31:29The last numbers are seven, one, and another one.
31:34Fifty, seventy-five, and twenty-five.

31:40Three, two, nine.
32:15Three, two, seven.
32:17Elliot.
32:18Three, two, nine.
32:20Three, two, nine, Elliot.
32:21Off we go.
32:22Seventy-five divided by twenty-five.
32:25Is three.
32:26Fifty minus three.
32:27Forty-seven.
32:28Multiply by seven.
32:29Nice target for this one.
32:30Three, two, nine.
