00:30Hello again. Welcome to what I hope is another enchanted episode of Countdown, a show that has been frozen into
00:37the Channel 4 schedule for nearly 42 years. And in our 42nd year, we're putting up some wicked ratings and
00:44that's thanks to you. So cheers for that. Right, over to Rachel Riley. Frozen, enchanted, wicked, all connected to the
00:53Queen of Broadway, who's celebrating her birthday today. Who am I talking about?
00:58I'm talking about Idina Menzel. Yes, indeed. And isn't it funny? Because if I talked about, say, for example, a
01:04Eurovision-loving penguin who listened to a lot of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, you wouldn't know what I
01:09was talking about.
01:10Right. And in this case, it's Broadway, musicals, Disney, and Frozen, which I have no knowledge of. But in your
01:17world, she's a megastar, Hollywood Walk of Fame.
01:20You know the voice from Frozen, but she was the love interest and she marries Prince at the end of
01:25Enchanted. I've spoiled Enchanted if you've not seen Enchanted, sorry.
01:29And she was the wicked stepmother in Cinderella. I mean, she's frozen. She's Queen Elsa. She's the Queen. What else
01:36can you say about her? She's amazing.
01:37Thank you, Rachel. As we get over to Dictionary Corner and, of course, centre of our stage, as always, is
01:43our G of the D, Susie Dent.
01:45And entering, I think, stage left would be the entrepreneur, would be the chef, would be the musician, would be
01:51the great Levi Roots.
01:52Yeah.
01:56OK, well, listen, entering every single day this week so far is our champion. So, Crono, you is back with
02:02us. How are you feeling after three wins?
02:04I feel settled down for a bit.
02:06Oh, well, beware everybody then if you're starting to settle in. Listen, you moved to London back in 2022 and
02:13I know one of your favourite things are the museums of London.
02:16If you could only visit one, where are you taking me?
02:19Tate Modern.
02:20Oh, interesting. Why are they taking Modern?
02:23I just like the artwork. It's really modern. It's so...
02:26They have different types. It's just... And I like the venue as well.
02:30So, it's perfect for... To have a day out, just go inside and chill and have a good day.
02:36Yeah, I love it. Excellent stuff.
02:38Well, listen, let's hope you're not consigned to history today.
02:41You'll need to become an Octo-Champ at the very least to make this end of series final, as we
02:45have it already.
02:47Bill Thornton is looking to stop you in your tracks. How are you doing, mate?
02:51Yeah, good. Thanks, Colin.
02:52And you're a huge music fan. You even do some radio in Rotherham.
02:56Yeah, yeah. About 12 months ago, I sent an email to a local radio station to look at being a
03:01presenter and ridiculously they took me on.
03:03So, yeah, I do a couple of shows a week now.
03:05Bell and Crono. Good luck.
03:10Crono, you know the score by now.
03:13Afternoon, Rachel. May I have a consonant, please?
03:15You may indeed start today with R.
03:18And another?
03:20S.
03:22And another?
03:24H.
03:25And a consonant, please?
03:35L.
03:37And another?
03:39W.
03:40And a vowel, please?
03:43E.
03:44And a consonant, please?
03:47Lastly, T.
03:49At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
04:22Time's up, Crono.
04:23Seven.
04:24And Bell?
04:25Seven.
04:25Yeah, good start. What have you got, Crono?
04:27Washlet.
04:27Let's get you on the board here, Bell.
04:29Howlers.
04:30Howlers, for sure. I make plenty of those, but I'm not sure if I've been to a washlet. Let's get
04:35to Susie then.
04:35No, I like the idea of one, but it's not in the dictionary, unfortunately.
04:38Sorry about that, Crono.
04:40Well, that's a rare occasion that happens with Crono, but let's find out, Levi, what else there was.
04:45Yeah, we've got an eight here. It's not a good word. It's loathers, but it's there. Eight for eight.
04:50There you go, Bill. Let's get more letters.
04:53Hi, Rachel.
04:53Hi, Bill.
04:54Can I have a consonant, please?
04:55You can indeed. F.
04:57And a vowel.

05:00Another vowel.
05:02A.
05:03A consonant.
05:04S.
05:05A vowel.
05:07I.
05:08A consonant.
05:10D.
05:11Another consonant.
05:12T.
05:14A vowel.
05:16A.
05:17And finally, another consonant, please.
05:19And lastly, G.
05:2130 seconds starts now.
05:23A vowel.
05:26A consonant.
05:36A vowel.
05:38A vowel.
05:39A vowel.
05:40A vowel.
05:41A vowel.
05:43A vowel.
05:44A vowel.
05:44A vowel.
05:48A vowel.
05:52A rép systems anymore.
05:53Give me a number, Bill. Just a five.
05:55Yeah. And Crono? Six.
05:57Six for you. A chance to get right back in it straight away.
06:00Bill, the five.
06:01Stade.
06:02What have you spotted there, Crono?
06:03Stadia.
06:04Very nice indeed.
06:05Nice.
06:06Yeah, plural of stadia.
06:07Yes. Word that was just never really used until around Italia 90.
06:11And then I felt that that word started to be used for the first time.
06:15Right, Levi, what can you add?
06:17Nothing beat the sixes, but audits is there.
06:20Audits.
06:21Right, seven, six, just the point in it.
06:23First numbers, Crono, and we'll need six from you.
06:26One large and five small, please.
06:28One large, five little.
06:30Coming up, first one of the day.
06:32And the numbers are three, one, one, nine, six, and 50.
06:39This could be tricky. Let's see.
06:42Target, 631.
06:43631, numbers up.
07:16631, the target.
07:18Crono?
07:18Nope.
07:19No?
07:19OK, good. Bill?
07:21636.
07:22That'll get you all five points away, so seven points.
07:26One plus one is two.
07:29Yep.
07:29Multiply by the six is 12.
07:3312.
07:3450 plus three is 53.
07:38Multiply the two together for 636.
07:41636, five away. Well done.
07:42Five away. OK, Rachel, better to test this. How did you get there?
07:45Yeah, I found one way, but with the two ones it's always hard.
07:47Yeah.
07:48If you say nine plus one plus three is 13, and then 50 minus the second one for 49, times
07:55those together for 637 and take away the six.
07:59631.
07:59Well done.
08:00APPLAUSE
08:02Let's get a two-time teaser.
08:04It's Ken spare.
08:05Ken spare.
08:07Ken's got a spare apron, but what's it called?
08:10Ken's got a spare apron, but what's it called?
08:28Welcome back, and it's straight to dictionary corner for this tea-time teaser.
08:32Ken's got a spare apron, but what's it called?
08:34Apparently, Susie, it's a prasking, P-R-A-S-K-E-E-N.
08:39Yeah, this is new for me as well.
08:40From Irish English, it's an apron, especially one made of a really coarse material.
08:45Nice. There you go. Thank you very much.
08:47OK, Bill, our challenger, has an early lead over our champion, Crono, and it's your letters, Bill.

11:12so
11:28Crono. Seven. Seven from you, Bill. Seven. What a battle this is, Crono.
11:32Trawler. Trawler. What did you find, Bill? A warbler. A warbler.
11:37Yeah, that was almost written out, wasn't it? Yes, that was ours as well.
11:41It was, yeah. Trawler, brawler. Lots of sevens.
11:44Loads of sevens. All right, eight points in it at the moment.
11:47So, Bill, you're holding on to that lead so far,
11:49but we're back to the numbers in your choosing.
11:51Two from the top, please, Rachel. Thank you, Bill.
11:54Two from the top, four knots.
11:55This time around, the four little ones are four, four, nine and two.
12:02And the large ones, 175.
12:05And with them, you need to make 552.
12:08552, numbers up.
12:39So, time's up, Bill.
12:405-5-1.
12:42One away. Little chance, Crono.
12:44554.
12:45Oh, two away.
12:46So, seven points for you, Bill, if you've managed this.
12:49Four times 100 is 400.
12:52400.
12:53Two times 75 is 150.
12:57Add them together for 550.
12:59550.
13:00And then I've used the four twice.
13:03That is very unfortunate, yeah, just the two fours.
13:06But also hugely significant, because here we go.
13:09Crono, you only left twice.
13:1375 times...
13:14Sorry, 9 minus 2 is 7.
13:169 minus 2, 7.
13:17And then 75 times 7 is 525.
13:20Yes.
13:20And then 100 divided by 4 is 25.
13:25And then add the other four is 29.
13:28Yes.
13:29And then add them together for 554.
13:32554.
13:34Yep, two away.
13:35What a rollercoaster that was, right?
13:37552.
13:38Well, a different way completely.
13:409 plus 4 is 13.
13:4313 plus 75 is 88.
13:4688 times 4 gets you to 352.
13:50And then you can say 2 times 100 in the tiny bit of space I have here
13:53is 200.
13:54And add them together for 552.
13:57APPLAUSE
13:59Really, we nearly fell the whole board.
14:02Great stuff.
14:02Listen, Bill, your lead has reduced to just one point,
14:05but that's a great start for a challenger.
14:07As we break for our daily chat with Levi Roots,
14:10and we're talking cricket today, because you don't just like cricket,
14:13you love it, to quote the song.
14:15Absolutely.
14:16And when I was growing up, even now, because now, you know,
14:19my era is in sports of footballers, as you know,
14:21I'm a big Guna fan.
14:22But as a kid growing up, it was cricket.
14:25Yeah.
14:25But in 2015, I was invited on the England tour of the West Indies.
14:30Oh.
14:30And the plan was for me to be cooking with the then England captain,
14:34Joe Root.
14:35So the thought of having a Root versus Root was a no-brainer for me
14:40to go along to the Caribbean to cook with him.
14:43So there we were on the beach cooking with the famous Joe Root.
14:47I was cooking lobsters, you know, with garlic and butter
14:50and doing jerk chicken, spicy jerk chicken,
14:52with England captain, and then to have a game of beach cricket,
14:56you know, on the beach with Joe Root.
14:58Wow.
14:58With me bowling tennis ball at this great man,
15:01and him absolutely whacking everything way out
15:05into the Caribbean turquoise seas, you know.
15:07Ball after ball, it was whack, whack, whack.
15:09But it was amazing, especially to be cooking with the great man himself
15:13on the beach in the Caribbean,
15:14and see how cricket is really in the Caribbean,
15:17whereas you've got football over here,
15:18you've got baseball in America and American football,
15:21but when you talk about Caribbean,
15:23and even now, it's still a very cricketer.
15:25So as we say, cricket, lovely cricket.
15:28Brilliant. Thank you, mate. Thank you.
15:30APPLAUSE
15:33Right, back to this game.
15:35Two cricket scores at the moment.
15:3628-27.
15:38Early doors.
15:39And here we go again.
15:41You're picking these letters.
15:42Crono, let's do it.
15:43May I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
15:45Thank you, Crono.
15:46G.
15:47And another.
15:50F.
15:51A vowel.
15:52A.
15:53And a consonant.
15:55S.
15:57And a consonant.
15:59L.
16:00A vowel.
16:02O.
16:03And another vowel.
16:05E.
16:06Consonant.
16:08N.
16:10And a consonant, please.
16:14And lastly, X.
16:16And here we go again.
16:17E.
16:18watts.
16:46And a consonant.
16:47And a consonant.
16:48Crono, give me a number. It's a six. OK, and Bill? Six.
16:51Six as well. OK, what have we got? Slogan.
16:54Slogan. Bill's going to pass a bit of paper over.
16:58All right, two slogans, what can we add?
17:00Well, I think I need an i5 for this one. I think so, too.
17:03We've got a nine here. Come on. Flexigons.
17:06What is a flexagon? OK, so a flexagon is a sort of flexible hexagon.
17:11So, in maths, it was a strip of paper that could be folded into the shape
17:17of a regular hexagon, but in lots of different ways.
17:19So it's flexible. Does that not make it like a septicant?
17:23It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't think so.
17:25This piece of paper was marked with equilateral triangles
17:28and they were alternately upright and inverted.
17:31It's a long, very complicated description, which you've forced me into.
17:35But, yes, you can make it into lots of different hexagons, apparently.
17:38I've not made one.
17:39And it was award-winning TV. Thank you very much. Right.
17:42One point ended as we get back to the letters.
17:44And, Bill, here we go.
17:46A consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Bill.
17:48L. A vowel. A. A consonant. M. Another consonant. S. A vowel. I. A consonant. M. Another consonant. D. Vowel.
18:08E.
18:09And a final consonant, please. And a final S.
18:13All right, starting that clock.
18:15A consonant.
18:25Aency.
18:46I'm afraid that's all the time I can give you, Bill.
18:48How many?
18:49I'm going to try a seven.
18:51He's going to try a seven.
18:52Chrono.
18:53Eight.
18:53Look at that.
18:55Try, try and try again, Bill.
18:57What have you got?
18:58Medials.
18:59Medials.
19:00OK, we'll check it anyway.
19:01Chrono, what's the eight?
19:02Miss Leeds.
19:03Miss Leeds.
19:04Miss Leeds, absolutely brilliant.
19:06Yeah, well done.
19:08APPLAUSE
19:09What a moment.
19:10What about medials?
19:12So, we're talking about injury, aren't we?
19:14I hear it in football, the medial injury.
19:16Is it the knee, maybe?
19:18Not there as a noun, so you can't put the S on it,
19:20but it is definitely there as an adjective.
19:22Situated in the middle or near the median plane of the body
19:25or the midline of an organ.
19:26Miss Leeds, though, changes the score,
19:29so, Chrono, you're back into lead.
19:30This is great fun for us neutrals, for you two.
19:33Not so much.
19:34Chrono, more numbers.
19:35May I have one large and five small, please, Rachel?
19:37You may, indeed.
19:38Holding your nerve, not changing any tactics.
19:40One large, five small ones more.
19:42And these five small ones are nine, three, eight, six and ten.
19:48And the big one, 75.
19:50And you need to reach 611.
19:53611, numbers up.
19:54So, let's go.
20:25And there it is. 6-1-1. Crono?
20:286-1-1. Nailed it. Bill?
20:316-1-1. Nailed it as well. Crono?
20:3375 times 8 is 600. 600.
20:36And then 3 plus 6 is 9. Yeah.
20:40And then 9 divided by 9 is 1. And then add to 10, and then...
20:45Lovely. 6-11. Well done.
20:47Bill Thornton, same way? Same way, yeah.
20:51APPLAUSE
20:56There you go. Both didn't blink.
20:58What a final part we have in store with six rounds left
21:01after we get our second tea-time teaser of the afternoon,
21:04which is Coat Desk. Coat Desk.
21:07It's not a fizzy drink made from beef cubes.
21:09It's a form of defence.
21:11It's not a fizzy drink made from beef cubes.
21:14It's a form of defence.
21:24APPLAUSE
21:31Hello again. It's not a fizzy drink made from beef cubes.
21:34A form of defence. It is stockade. It is stockade.
21:38And holding the line so far, but only just, is our champion, Crono Yoon.
21:42He's on 51 points.
21:44Bill Thornton, 44.
21:46And here we go. Bill, your letters.

22:20MUSIC PLAYS

22:50Tricky round, Bill. Seven.
22:52Crono? Just a six. Yeah, what's a six?
22:542-10, T-O-U-C-A-N. Yeah, yeah.
22:56Yes, brilliant, the bird. And, Bill?
22:59Caution. Well done, excellent. Good start.
23:04Yes, the ION coming in to play. Anything else that you could pull out of there?
23:08You can just flip it around a little bit.
23:10Yeah, auction. Auction, caution.
23:1251 points each. What a battle, this is.
23:14Crono and Bill, let's keep it going. More letters, please, champion.
23:18May I have a consonant, please, Rachel? Thank you, Crono.
23:21N. And another.
23:23P. And another.
23:27T. And a vowel.
23:30U. Another.
23:33I. And another.
23:36E. And a consonant.
23:41S. And a vowel.
23:44I.
23:46I.
23:47And a consonant, please.
23:49Lastly, N.
23:51A countdown.
23:52And a consonant.
23:52hashtag.
24:01All right.
24:02And another.
24:21One, next time.
24:23Really interesting letters. Crono?
24:25It, I think.
24:26He thinks an it, so there's jeopardy here. Bill?
24:28Seven.
24:29Seven. So the sure seven, you got caution for the points last time,
24:32now you're using caution. What is it?
24:35Puniest.
24:35Yes, puniest, without a doubt, came out in the first seven letters.
24:39What are you going to go for here?
24:41Puniest.
24:41I can see the fear on your face there, Crono.
24:44It's in the dictionary, yeah? Well done.
24:46APPLAUSE
24:49And it does what it says in a tin.
24:51Absolutely.
24:51The person who makes the most puns.
24:53Well, just, yeah, something that contains a lot of puns.
24:56It could be the punniest poem you've ever read.
24:58Right, there you go.
25:00Puniest gets the job done for you to take an eight-point lead.
25:03Still crucial countdown, conundrum, territory.
25:05Four rounds left, one origin of words before that, Susie.
25:10And what are we going to do?
25:11I'm going to talk about, oh, I don't know,
25:14it's something that is so obviously an eponym.
25:15So an eponym is a word based on a person's name.
25:18And yet I never really thought about it.
25:20And English is full of eponyms.
25:22So you have Everest, you have the Malapropism,
25:25named after Mrs Malaprop.
25:27But others, I guess, have stories that are less well-known.
25:30And this was one for me, and it's the Ferris wheel,
25:32because I never actually thought, who or what is the Ferris?
25:36And we have to go back to the 1889 World Fair,
25:39which was held in Paris.
25:40And its majestic centrepiece was the Eiffel Tower.
25:44Eiffel Tower, of course, named after, is it Gustav Eiffel?
25:48And he suggested an even taller Eiffel Tower.
25:51But that one was rejected in favour of an enormous rotating wheel.
25:56And that was proposed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr.
26:01And the original Ferris wheel, as it came to be called, was vast.
26:05It could hold up to 60 people in each of its 36 cars.
26:10What?
26:10Yeah.
26:11So I think there were something like 40 seats,
26:13but you could pack 60 people in.
26:16Each passenger paid 50 cents, and the ride lasted 10 minutes.
26:20Imagine that these days, when most rides seem to be about 30 seconds.
26:24It became, unsurprisingly, an overnight sensation,
26:28and over 1.5 million people paid for a ride on the Ferris wheel.
26:33Sadly, the Ferris wheel didn't stick around for too long,
26:36and it was demolished in 1906.
26:38And even more sadly, George Ferris died with significant debt,
26:41aged just 37.
26:43But his name lives on as a generic term,
26:45one of our favourite fairground rides.
26:47Wow.
26:48Lovely.
26:48You're welcome.
26:51When it comes to today's countdown,
26:53we have been going round and round,
26:54having a way between champion and challenger,
26:57and it's now your champion with his nose in front,
26:59but only by eight points.
27:01Crono and Bill, get ready for this.
27:04Four rounds.
27:05Bill, your letters.
27:07Consonant, please.
27:08Thank you, Bill.

27:33All right, let's play.
27:48MUSIC PLAYS
28:05Last time up, Bill.
28:06Er, five.
28:07Chrono?
28:08Seven.
28:09Seven.
28:10OK.
28:11What have you got, Bill?
28:12It's something I wasn't, which is ready.
28:14LAUGHTER
28:15Good, you've still got a sense of humour about it.
28:18The seven.
28:18Trained.
28:19Well done, yeah.
28:20Trained.
28:21Well done.
28:22I think a bit of pressure there, though.
28:24Let's go to Dictionary Corner.
28:25Yeah, we've got a couple of eights.
28:27My favourite is Detainer.
28:29Detainer, and then swap it round for Retained.
28:31Retained, exactly, yeah.
28:33I thought we were going to have a couple of eights on Retained there,
28:36but it's so difficult, isn't it, under this pressure?
28:39All right, great stuff.
28:40And, Crono, that's good news for you,
28:42because you're outside of that crucial countdown,
28:43conundrum territory.
28:45But for how long?
28:46Let's keep going, Crono.
28:47May I have a consonant, please, Richard?
28:49You may, thank you, Crono.
28:50N.
28:51And another.
28:53H.
28:54A vowel.
28:56U.
28:57And another vowel.
29:00E.
29:01Consonant.
29:03T.
29:04Another.
29:05P.
29:07And a vowel.
29:09I.
29:11And a consonant.
29:13L.
29:15And a vowel, please.
29:19Lastly, E.
29:21Last letters.
29:52Next slide, everybody.
29:53Give me a number, Crono.
29:55It's just a six.
29:56Bill? Six.
29:57Crono?
29:58Unpile?
29:59Yes, and for you?
30:00Pliant.
30:01And to dictionary corner.
30:02OK, so that is pliant with an E.
30:05Yeah, I don't think we're going to find it spelt that way.
30:09We're not, unfortunately.
30:12I'm just going to look up unpile as well.
30:14It's huge.
30:14Is there?
30:15Huge. Is it there?
30:16It is there.
30:16I wasn't sure about unpile.
30:18No, it is there.
30:19Yeah, to remove from a pile or demolish a pile, either way.
30:21It's in.
30:22Goodness me, you two.
30:23Well done.
30:23That's 21 points.
30:24That means you're halfway to become an octo-champ, Crono.
30:27I didn't think that was going to happen.
30:28It just takes a couple of rounds, doesn't it?
30:30It really does.
30:31Right.
30:32Levi, did you do better in that round?
30:33Yeah, just a couple of sixes, yeah.
30:35Lupine and Plinth.
30:37Plinth.
30:37Excellent.
30:38All right, Bill, it's just for fun now, but it's your numbers.
30:40I'm going to go out and a blaze of failure, Rachel.
30:42Please, four large.
30:44No, we're going to be optimistic.
30:46A blaze of glory with a four large.
30:47You're setting yourself up for it there.
30:49Let's see what we've got.
30:50Final numbers today.
30:51Three, nine, 50, 75, 25 and 100.
30:58And the target we need with them, 590.
31:01590, numbers up.
31:05Five, five, six, four large.
31:05Five, six, five, six, five, six.
31:335-9-0 with four large. Was that a good decision, Bill?
31:36No.
31:38Nothing. 5-9-7.
31:40Oh, listen, that could work. Seven away, Crono.
31:43Same. 5-9-7.
31:44Ready to see, Bill? It did work, sort of. Let's hear it.
31:47OK. 9-3 is 6.
31:50Yep.
31:51Times 100 is 600. 600.
31:53And 75 over 25 is 3 and take it away.
31:57I'd say that was a blaze of mediocrity.
32:00I'll settle for that.
32:01Same way, Crono? Yep.
32:03Well done. Well, to rub salt into both of your wounds,
32:06Rachel didn't even use the clipboard,
32:08so before I hit that button, you had the answer.
32:11Yeah, well, if you say 50 plus 9 is 59,
32:15and then you can say 100 plus 75,
32:18all divided by 25 is 7, add it to the remaining 3 for 10,
32:22and times them together, 5-90.
32:24APPLAUSE
32:27Right, 77 at 56.
32:30Really hard-fought game today.
32:33Not a crucial Countdown Conundrum, but still,
32:35let's get the fingers on the buzzers,
32:36let's see who can decipher these nine letters into just one word.
32:40Let's reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:43CHIRPING
32:44CHIRPING
32:48CHIRPING
32:49Chrono.
32:50Wideness.
32:51Wiredness. Let's have a look.
32:53It's not! Time back on, Bill.
32:55BONUS
32:56PICzej cheezes
32:56END
33:22F
33:23HE LAUGHS Of course it is!
33:26APPLAUSE
33:28Brilliant work, just 11 points in at the end.
33:31And, Bill, it often happens with a challenger,
33:34cos you're fighting a lot more nerves than Crono is now as our champion.
33:38It was just two rounds, wasn't it? You went missing.
33:40Yeah, I just started thinking how much I was enjoying myself
33:42and how nice everybody is and lost concentration.
33:45Can't happen, can't happen.
33:47But Crono, in a series with eight octochamps already,
33:51you're halfway to giving us one heck of a headache.
33:55Well done to you, mate. Well done.
33:56Tomorrow for the five, you'll run the week.
33:58One mesh at a time. Brilliant.
34:00All right, Levi, Susie, see you tomorrow. Yeah, see you then.
34:02You know that Let It Go track we were talking about at the start?
34:06I do. How many times do you think you've heard that in your life?
34:0913,000,000,000.
34:11Because it's been recorded into a flabbergasting 25 different languages.
34:18Yeah, we went to the Disney exhibition and you can listen to it
34:20and you can see the different actresses singing them through.
34:23Of course, we've got a dolly that goes through a few different languages
34:26just because the button's broken, but...
34:27What kind of hell is that?
34:29My goodness. Right, we will let it go for now.
34:32We'll be back tomorrow, same time, same place.
34:34You can count on us.
