00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Tuesday, May the 28th.
00:35Let's get the maths right on this.
00:37We already have eight octo-champs in series 89.
00:40We've only got 17 shows left of this series.
00:45So it's rare to have eight octo-champs.
00:47Even more rare, Rachel, to have an octo-champ
00:50that didn't make the end-of-season finale.
00:52And I know all of this because I keep it in a spreadsheet.
00:56And this season is so hard to keep up with.
00:57And the spreadsheet is made possible, of course,
00:59if we go all the way back by the father of computers, Alan Turing.
01:03I know so everyone would credit him as his biggest achievement.
01:06The spreadsheet was made possible.
01:08Now we can keep track of our octo-champs.
01:10Thank you, Alan Turing.
01:11That's the only thing I use my computer for.
01:141936 was the day he submitted uncomputable numbers for publication.
01:20And as they say, the rest is history.
01:22Still affecting all of our lives today.
01:24Thank you, Rachel.
01:25Let's head over to Dictionary Corner.
01:27Looking fantastic, may I just say.
01:30Suzy Dent and Levi Roots.
01:32Keeping everything on track for us today.
01:34Only one computer needed.
01:36Thank you, guys.
01:39Excellent.
01:40We have a new champion, of course, in chrono.
01:42Youn, how are you, sir?
01:44I'm fine, thank you.
01:44Good.
01:45That chair suits you, I have to say.
01:46I thought you were great yesterday.
01:47And you and I have many things in common, including our love of Kylie Minogue.
01:52Tell me about yours.
01:53Well, I like her songs generally.
01:56You know, her greatest hits.
01:58Like, they're all really amazing.
02:00And then I'm really looking forward to seeing her later this year.
02:03We should go together.
02:04I'll dance for the first part.
02:06You dance for the second part.
02:07I'll get the dress.
02:08That's a deal.
02:08Be perfect.
02:09Happy days.
02:10Listen, well, let's see if you can hang about here.
02:12Because you're up against Claire McMaster, who is a lecturer in biochemistry.
02:18Well, we're going to talk about stuffed toys, aren't we?
02:21Yeah.
02:22So, tell me what the plushie community is.
02:24So, it's basically a load of adults who have cuddly toys, known as plushies,
02:30and they share pictures of them on social media.
02:33They interact with each other and sometimes meet up in real life as well.
02:37There's a huge mental health aspect of this, isn't there?
02:40Yeah, it just really helps people with their mental health
02:43by being able to kind of act like children, but in a safe space.
02:47So, it's really positive.
02:50Claire and Crono, best of luck to both of you.
02:52OK, let's get the first nine letters.
02:57Afternoon, Rachel.

04:14No alongs, unfortunately.
04:16Lasting great for seven.
04:17We had just a couple of eights.
04:19Yes, saluting was the best for me.
04:21Yeah, that's lovely.

05:44Well, Susie, shorter and you're a roaster, Levi.
05:48Like a good roast chicken, eh?
05:50I do indeed.
05:51There's also an eight as well, aerators.
05:54Yes.
05:54Yes, I might aerate your lawn if you're lucky enough to have one,
05:58so it's to introduce air into it.
05:59Let's get numbers for the first time today.
06:01Crono, you're choosing.
06:03May I have one larger and five small, please?
06:05You may do, thank you, Crono.
06:06One from the top and five little ones.
06:08And the first numbers of the day are 10, 8, 9, 1, 9 and 100.

06:558-2-7.
06:56One away, and Clare?
06:58I think I've got 8-2-6.
07:00For ten points, off you go.
07:02Erm, eight times a hundred.
07:04Eight times one hundred, eight hundred.
07:08Add the...
07:10Erm, ten.
07:13810.
07:14Add the nine and add the eight.
07:16Have you used the eight?
07:17Oh, sorry, Clare, it's two nines, not two eights.
07:21There you go, written down wrong, so seven points, Crono.
07:24Eight times a hundred, plus the ten, it's eight ten.
07:28And then nine plus nine minus one.
07:30Nine and nine minus one.
07:32Yes, it's one away.
07:33All the right numbers used, and using all those numbers,
07:36where do you get to?
07:37A couple of ways to get there.
07:38One of them, you could have said nine divided by nine is one.
07:42Add the one and the 100 for 102,
07:46times that by eight, what, 816,
07:49and add the remaining ten.
07:51Eight-two-six.
07:51Love it.
07:53APPLAUSE
07:55All right, first Tea Town teaser of this Tuesday afternoon

10:03Yeah, Clare, did you say intrude or intrude?
10:06So there is an eight for intrudes. Yes.
10:10Any other eights apart from the one that Clare just missed?
10:13None, actually. No, we're down to sevens with Duster and that kind of thing.

11:22It's all the time I can give you, Crono. How many?
11:25Seven, I think.
11:26Seven, you think? Clare?
11:27Just a six.
11:28Oh, the six is?
11:30Stolen.
11:30OK.
11:31Crono's not sure. You never know. What is it?
11:33Lancet.
11:34Lancet?
11:34Yeah.
11:35Yeah, absolutely fine.
11:36They are medical or surgical instruments.
11:40They're broad, two-edged surgical knives.
11:42Very good, indeed.
11:44Levi, what can we add?
11:46Yeah, a couple of eights.
11:48Lactones is my favourite.
11:50Yep.
11:51Chemical compounds.
11:53We also have acolytes.
11:55So followers, usually quite negative, so hangers-on, really, acolytes.
11:58Good stuff, all right.
11:5935 plays 14, 10 points up for grabs.
12:02Now, Clare, for the first time ever on national television,
12:05you're in control of the numbers.
12:07Can I have one from the top and any other five, please?
12:09You can, indeed.
12:10Another one large five.
12:12Little combo.
12:13And this time, your selection is five.
12:16Seven, three, four, six.
12:20And the big one, 50.
12:21And you need to reach 355.
12:24Ah, 355.
12:25Numbers up.
12:26And you need to reach 355.
12:573-5-5.
12:58Clare?
12:59Yeah.
12:59Well done.
13:00Crono?
13:00355.
13:01Yes, off you go, Clare.
13:0350 times 7.
13:04350 at the 5.
13:06We don't need ink for that one.
13:07Nice.
13:08Crono?
13:08I don't know why I'm doing this, but 7 times 3 is 21.
13:11All right, we do need ink.
13:127 times 3, 21.
13:14What's he doing?
13:1550 plus 21 is 71.
13:1771.
13:18And then times the 5.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Well done.
13:20Wow.
13:2310 points each is all that matters.
13:26Hey, Levi, yesterday we had a chat about your recent experience in the Big Brother house.
13:30What's your first memory growing up in Jamaica of food?
13:34Of the first person in your family that you ate and you fell in love with food?
13:38Yes.
13:39It was our national dish called ackee and soulfish.
13:42And ackee is a wonderful, it's a vegetable, but it's also a fruit as well too.
13:47And mix that with salted cod and it becomes, I think when the queen visited many years ago,
13:52she ate ackee and soulfish and it became the national dish of Jamaica.
13:57But my grandmother used to cook an amazing ackee and soulfish.
14:00And that was the first thing that I remember she ever sort of sat me down as a 10-year
14:05-old
14:05and taught me how to cook.
14:07She was mom and dad and everything to me.
14:09Because I didn't really know mom and dad when they left when I was five.
14:12And eventually when that ticket did come over for me, it was the saddest moment of my life.
14:16Yeah.
14:17I was shoved into school at the age of 11, couldn't spell my first name,
14:21and then discovered that my father had given me the name of Keith Graham.
14:26And I hated the name Keith.
14:28I just couldn't stand the name Keith.
14:30So I started to investigate.
14:32When I got a little bit older and I started my first band in school,
14:36all of us wanted to have a nice, cool name to be able to call ourselves back then.
14:40And I couldn't think of a cool Keith.
14:41I thought Keith Richard, he was cool.
14:44I thought Keith Moon, he was cool.
14:46But then I thought Keith Chegwin and I thought, no!
14:50It had to change.
14:51And of course, I started to sort of investigate and found out that
14:55Grahams were the Scottish, came from the Scottish names of the clan Scottish.
15:00And this clan, William D. Graham, was the first Graham in Scotland.
15:33Yeah.
15:35Wonderful, Keith.
15:36Love it, Levi. Thank you so much.
15:41All right, back to the game.
15:42Close enough still, close enough, Crono.
15:44You can't rest on your laurels.
15:46Let's get more letters.
15:46A consonant, please, Rachel.
15:48Thank you, Crono.
15:49D.
15:50Another.
15:52P.
15:54Another, please.
15:55G.
15:57A vowel, please.
15:59O.
16:00Another.
16:01U.
16:03Consonant, please.
16:05S.
16:06A consonant, please.
16:08D.
16:10Vow.
16:11A.
16:12And another vowel, please.
16:15Lastly, E.
16:16And here we go again.
16:48Time is up, Crono.
16:50Six.
16:50And for you, Claire?
16:52I've only got five.
16:53Oh, what's the five?
16:54Spade.
16:55Spade and six?
16:56Dodgers.
16:58Dodgers.
16:58Yep, very nice.
16:59Nice.
17:00Lots of sixes in there.
17:02Nothing further, as far as we could see.
17:05At 51.24.
17:07Claire, you're up.
17:08You're choosing.
17:09Vowel, please.
17:10Thank you, Claire.
17:11I.
17:12And another.
17:14E.
17:15Consonant.
17:16N.
17:18Another consonant.
17:20R.
17:22Consonant.
17:23W.
17:25Bowel.
17:27A.
17:29Consonant.
17:30V.
17:33Another consonant.
17:36G.
17:37And a final consonant, please.
17:40And a final.
17:41D.
17:41And start the clock.
17:43And start the clock.
18:13Clare?
18:14Seven.
18:14Seven from you.
18:15Crono?
18:16Eight.
18:16An eight.
18:17OK, Clare.
18:18Big seven.
18:19Tangier.
18:19An even bigger eight.
18:21Watering.
18:21Watering, indeed.
18:22Well done.
18:23Very nice, indeed.
18:24Fantastic.
18:27Yes, we've got the IMG in there.
18:29Unfortunately, we've got the V as well.
18:31So, I'm guessing there's not a nine in there.
18:34No.
18:35But a couple of...
18:36Well, a couple more eights for you, which were quite nice.
18:38Yeah, wavering.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Wavering and averting.
18:43And one you might not guess is in the dictionary, twangier.
18:47Twangier?
18:47Yes.
18:48Like a guitar's twangier.
18:49A guitar might be twangier, or according to the dictionary,
18:51also, if you have a nasal twang.
18:53So, yeah, so a voice might be twangier.
18:56Excellent.
18:56There you go.
18:56Every day's a school day.
18:58Where are we at, then?
19:00Numbers, I think.
19:01So, it's you, Crono.
19:02May I have one large and five small to beat?
19:04You may, indeed.
19:05Thank you, Crono.
19:06One large, five little coming up once more.
19:09And these five little numbers are five, one, nine, six, and four.
19:15And the large one, 100.
19:17And the target, 766.
19:21766.
19:22Numbers up.
19:53766, Crono.
19:55764.
19:55Oh, he missed it by two.
19:57Clare?
19:57Nah.
19:58Oh, seven points for you, Crono.
20:00You got out of jail here.
20:026 plus 1 is 7.
20:04Yes.
20:04And then 100 plus 9 is 109.
20:07Yep.
20:08Times the 7 for 763.
20:10763.
20:11And then 5 minus 4 is 1.
20:12Add it on.
20:145 minus 4 is 1.
20:16764.
20:17And there it is.
20:18Right, Rachel.
20:19Take it to the limit one more time.
20:20Yep, a couple of ways.
20:22One of them, 100 minus 5, 95.
20:269 minus 1 is 8.
20:28Times those together for 760.
20:31And add on the 6 for 766.
20:33Yeah.
20:34APPLAUSE
20:36And with that, we've already reached our second tea time teaser of the afternoon,
20:40which is Elite Tot.
20:42Like a kid.
20:43Elite Tot.
20:43The answer will come out in the wash with an odour.
20:46The answer will come out in the wash with an odour.
20:58APPLAUSE
21:05Hello again.
21:06That break was mainly myself being ridiculed by not getting this tea time teaser.
21:10The answer will come out in the wash with an odour.
21:13It's toilette, toilette, and the reference is eau de toilette.
21:17Eau de toilette, yes.
21:19What's the difference between eau de toilette and perfume?
21:23So eau de parfum is quite strong, or at least it has more fragrance in it.
21:27It's usually more expensive.
21:28Eau de toilette is a bit lighter and a bit more diluted.
21:31Thank you very much.
21:32Crono-Yoon is smelling his second victory, but not quite there yet.
21:37Still time, Clare McMaster, so let's do it.
21:39More letters.
21:40Consonant.
21:41Thank you, Clare.
22:03And a final consonant, please.
22:06And a final X.
22:09Oh.
22:10Right, good luck, everyone.
22:11See you next time on.
22:11Thank you, buddy.
22:16Bye.
22:21Bye.
22:22Bye.
22:31Bye.
22:34Bye.
22:36Bye.
22:39Bye.
22:41How many, Clare?
22:43Just a six.
22:44Just a six for you.
22:45Crono?
22:46Seven.
22:46And seven.
22:47OK, the six, Clare?
22:48Spited.
22:49Yes, and for you, Crono?
22:50Deposit.
22:52And deposit.
22:52Yeah, absolutely fine.
22:54Both fine.
22:56Good stuff.
22:56Anything else, Levi?
22:58There's a seven in Modeste.

24:21Yes, parcels and princes as we head over the dictionary corner.
24:24Nothing better than an eight, couple of eights. Pelicans.
24:27Yep, pelicans, replicas, some nice eights there, actually.
24:31Kaplan's as well, small fish of the North Atlantic.
24:34Nice, whole bundle of eights, whole bundle of eights.
24:37All right, fantastic stuff.
24:38Susie, let's stay with you for Origins of Words this Tuesday afternoon.
24:42Where are we going?
24:43Well, a lovely email came from Peter Teague into the Countdown office,
24:49and it is slightly sad.
24:50He talks about his wife and he enjoying concocting questions
24:55for a dictionary corner that he hoped would be of interest
24:58to the other few million Countdown fanatics
25:01that watch your programme, he says.
25:03Countdown was recorded daily and watched over supper time.
25:06Sadly, my wife was taken from us last year
25:08after 69 years of happy marriage.
25:10But I would still like to know, this is obviously a question
25:13that they both came up with, how vice comes to be used in vice squad,
25:18vice admiral, and the engineer's vice is fitted onto the workbench
25:21to hold wood or metal for processing.
25:23And it's a really good question because they seem so different.
25:26And, indeed, they are in some cases.
25:28So, in the sense of immorality, your vices, your peccadillos, I suppose,
25:35they come from the Latin vicium, which meant the same thing, really,
25:39a sort of sin, if you like.
25:40And that vicium also gave us vicious.
25:43So, the original meaning of vicious was showing vice,
25:47so having some kind of immorality inherent in you.
25:49But it was extended to mean savage and particularly bad-tempered horses
25:55for quite a long time.
25:56And then only later in the 19th century did it come to mean spiteful
26:00and vicious in the more modern sense.
26:02The tool sense that you might find on a workbench,
26:06that was originally a word for a screw or a winch.
26:10And that comes from an old French term.
26:12Again, it comes from Latin.
26:14The Latin vitis, which meant a vine.
26:16So, if you imagine a grapevine,
26:17and it has very spiral tendrils quite often,
26:20which looks a little bit like a screw.
26:22So, that is where that one comes from.
26:24So, those are both very different.
26:26Then we get to vice admiral, vice president, etc.
26:30Now, this is yet another meaning and yet another origin,
26:33because it all goes back to another Latin.
26:36I mean, you can see how productive Latin is in all of this.
26:39Another Latin word meaning in place of,
26:43which makes sense if you're a vice president,
26:44you're acting on behalf of somebody above you.
26:47If you take it all the way back to a very ancient root,
26:50it's to a verb meaning to bend or to wind.
26:53So, you are sort of around the corner from someone else, almost.
26:58And this was the same vice that gave us vicarious,
27:01where you're sort of feeling on behalf of someone else,
27:04but also a vicar, which is weird,
27:07because a vicar stands in for somebody else, notably God,
27:12but they are seen as being a sort of deputy to someone else,
27:15either someone higher above them in the church,
27:17or indeed, as I say, to God.
27:19That, actually, if you throw them all together,
27:22although they come from different Latin words,
27:24they may ultimately all go back to the same ancient root.
27:28Goodness me, so entwined. Thank you.
27:30Yes, you are.
27:30APPLAUSE
27:32I'm going to jump into the wrong conclusion then.
27:34How does ad vice tie into all of that?
27:37Oh, ad vice, that's a really good question.
27:39So, that means, again, if you go back to that ultimate root,
27:42meaning to turn, and ad means to,
27:45so you are turning to somebody to give them advice
27:48or to take advice from them.
27:50Fantastic.
27:51Well, my advice for you, Claire McMaster,
27:52is enjoy every second of our last four rounds,
27:55and let's get your letters.

29:00A five for you and Crono? Eight.
29:02An eight? My goodness me, Claire. Local.
29:05And what have you spotted Crono? Collaged.
29:07Susie, you're typing away furiously there.
29:09I am, because I thought there would be a verb to collage,
29:13as well as the noun collage, you know,
29:14the sticking different bits of material onto fabric, et cetera,
29:18but it's only there as a noun, so you can't put the D on it,
29:21I'm afraid, Crono. Sorry.
29:22Five-point scores, then. Anything in and around eights?
29:25Yeah, a couple of eights. Favourite of mine is caroled.
29:29Lovely. At Christmas time, singing carols.
29:31And collared. There you go. Collared by someone.
29:34Getting collared for misbehaving. Yes.
29:37All right, 80 plays 36. Last letters from you, Crono.

30:50I'm expecting nines. Crono? Five. Five there. Clare?
30:53I've got a five. I bet you it's the same word. Crono?
30:56Bave. And Clare? Bave. Excellent. Let's just have a look.
31:03Fantastic. Yeah, join the club. It was a washout of a round.
31:06It was. Washout. Nothing better than a five.
31:09No. A beaut. A beaut?
31:11That was not a beaut. No. But, yeah, just fives.
31:13Brilliant. OK, last numbers round then. And Clare?
31:16One from the top and any other five, please?
31:18Thank you, Clare. One final one from the top.
31:21And five more little ones.
31:23And for the final time today, they are nine, four, ten, ten,
31:29one, and a large one this time, 25.
31:32And you need to reach 776.
31:35Seven, seven, six. Last numbers.
31:53column, 56.
31:54And finally, go to England ìž isation in Dallas.
31:54Yeah, the journals.
32:07And the fantastic numbers are so popular,
32:07That is time. 7, 7, 6.
32:11Claire?
32:127, 7, 9.
32:13Three away. And for you, Crono?
32:157, 7, 5.
32:16One away. This'll get you seven points.
32:2025 times 9 is 2, 2, 5.
32:22Yep.
32:23And then 4 minus 1 is 3.
32:26And then times them together is 6, 7, 5.
32:28Yep.
32:29And then 10 minus...
32:30Sorry, 10 times 10 is 100.
32:32Let them together.
32:337, 7, 5, one below.
32:35And as everybody knows, looking at this, it's a multiple of something.
32:39So 7, 7, 6, please, Rachel.
32:42Well, ignore the multiples.
32:43That might get you in loads of trouble.
32:45But if you say 10 times 4 is 40, take away 9 is 31.
32:50And then 31 times 25 is 7, 7, 5.
32:53And you have a one left over, 7, 7, 6.
32:55Lovely.
32:57APPLAUSE
32:59Gorgeous, gorgeous.
33:00I did say yesterday, Crono, when he won his first countdown,
33:03that I thought he would do a century today.
33:06Well, you'll prove me right if you manage to pick up these last 10 points.
33:10Our champion will need it to get to 102.
33:12Claire, you can knock up half a century here if you get the conundrum.
33:16So let's get your fingers on the buzzers as we reveal this Tuesday afternoon's
33:20Countdown Conundrum.
33:39Crono, throw away.
33:40Let's have a look.
33:42Excellent.
33:45Well, Crono, it's not just about becoming an octo-champ now,
33:49because we have eight octo-champs.
33:50You've got a score as well, and you've done that today.
33:53Well done, Dee.
33:53We'll see you tomorrow.
33:54OK.
33:55Excellent.
33:55And, Claire, what a delight to have you with us today.
33:58Thank you very much.
33:59Love it.
33:59Great.
34:00Levi, Susie, see you tomorrow.
34:02Yeah, see you tomorrow.
34:02And we mentioned Alan Turing at the top of the programme,
34:06and some people might not know this,
34:08but are carrying Alan Turing in their pocket right now.
34:12Now, obviously, I didn't know this,
34:14but earlier on, during one of the commercial breaks,
34:16Susie got a wedge of notes out of her pocket,
34:18and she showed me off one of her £50 notes has Alan Turing on it.
34:22Very fitting tribute.
34:24There you go.
34:24Thank you, Susie, for showing us all that.
34:26Anytime.
34:26They're back in my pocket.
34:27They're back in there in the money clip.
34:29Absolutely right.
34:30We'll be on the money again, same time, same place tomorrow.
34:33You can count on us.
