00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio. It's Friday the 27th of October and it's National Mentoring Day.
00:39News to me, National Mentoring Day. And it's to recognise the invaluable contribution that mentors give.
00:47And of course it's good for the mentor as much as those that they're mentoring.
00:50I never did have a mentor, but I hope, I hope that I was quite useful when I was involved
00:56in The Apprentice
00:57and the youngsters would come and, you know, talk and I would introduce them, maybe give them a hint or
01:02two.
01:02I hope that was useful to them. I was mentor-less. How about you?
01:07Did you have one significant figure in your life that showed you the way?
01:10Well, I've got to give credit to our wonderful producer, haven't I? Everyone's mentor around here.
01:15Well, that's very true.
01:17Yeah, he's taught me how to carry on smiling and ignoring rude stuff when they're talking in my ear.
01:22Yes.
01:23And how to offend everyone. Equal opportunity is offensiveness. That's Damien.
01:28And what else has he given us?
01:29Just how to find the line of what should be said in the workplace and then just ignore it and
01:35worry about nothing.
01:36Exactly.
01:36I think you're right. He's a very unusual character, isn't he?
01:41But we love him. Do we love him?
01:43Yeah. He's listening, isn't he? No, we do. He's a one in a million.
01:48But he has taught me a lot of things that nobody else, anywhere near TV or workplaces or just any
01:54other human, would think to.
01:57Exactly. All right. Now, we've got a very special person with us. We've got somebody hovering on the very edge
02:02of being an octo champ.
02:04That'll be James Kennedy, a retired teacher from Kilcythe in Glasgow. Big day for you, James.
02:09Seven under your belt, one to go.
02:11One to go, yeah.
02:12Never relax.
02:13Absolutely not.
02:14You've done brilliantly well.
02:14No complacency.
02:15And you've done it in such a modest and self-effacing style that we're full of praise for you.
02:21Full of admiration for you.
02:22But you've got to get past Charlie Turner, young Charlie Turner, in his final year as a maths student at
02:28Warwick from Bishop's Crawford in Hertfordshire.
02:31Yes, just about in Hertfordshire.
02:32And a big cricketer. And captain's your university team.
02:36Yeah, I did that last year. That was a good bit of fun. Of course, all our games are during
02:41exam time.
02:42So you're in charge of getting this team together and it's sort of hunting around and saying, oh, no, I'm
02:47sorry, I can't play.
02:48I'm too busy revising and whatever and hunting for players.
02:51But no, it was really good fun and we had a fairly successful season. Didn't win the league, but we
02:56did pretty well.
02:57Well done. And now you're facing a world of work or are you going to rush off and do some
03:01postgraduate work?
03:03Not really entirely sure what I want to do, but maybe something in the city. Potentially become an actuary or
03:08something, maybe.
03:09Yeah. Why not? Why not? Very worthwhile job.
03:12No, an actuary. Very interesting job.
03:14Yeah. Just working out the possibilities and advising the insurance companies, essentially, I guess.
03:20Yes, insurance or investment or pensions, anything like that. It's a whole variety of things.
03:26Good luck. All right. Well, well done. Let's have a big round of applause then for Charlie.
03:30Charlie and James.
03:36Over in the corner, Susie. Of course, Susie's there. And with that great actor, John Chalice. Welcome back, John.
03:44Thank you. All right. Now, a big day for James Kennedy.
03:49Kick it off for us, James. Good luck.
03:52Can I have a consonant, please? Rachel.
03:55Thank you, James. Starts with A with C.

05:03I've got five.
05:04And our five?

05:08Caged.
05:09And caged.
05:10Yes.
05:11Pop the D in.
05:12Very good, yes.
05:13Now, what news from the corner, I wonder?
05:15Well, we've got another six.
05:18Cajer.
05:19A cadger.
05:20Someone who...
05:21A scrounger.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Yep.
05:23And caddy is also there for six.
05:25Ah, thank you.

05:26All right.
05:27So, Charlie, first letters game for you.

06:34Bye-bye.
06:38B.
06:40Well, Charlie?
06:41Seven.
06:42Yes, James?
06:43Seven.
06:44Charlie?
06:45Maroons.
06:47Now then, James?
06:48Sermons.
06:49Sermons, very good.
06:51Yeah, two good sevens.
06:52Two good sevens.
06:53Any more sevens, I wonder?
06:55Reasons, Oarsmen, quite a few sevens in it,
06:57but we couldn't get to an eight.
06:59No eight?
07:00Not yet.
07:00Sevens all round.
07:0113 plays seven.
07:03And now, James, it's the first numbers game to you.
07:06Can I have one big one and five small ones, please?
07:09Never do you, it's one large.
07:11Five little, thank you, James.
07:12And this time, they are five, nine, four, two, eight, and 25.
07:20And the target, 527.
07:22Five to seven.
07:54Yes, James?
07:56Five to six.
07:57One away.
07:58Now then, Charlie?
07:59I've got five to seven, but not run down.
08:01Don't worry about that.
08:02Let's hear from you.
08:04So, if we do five times four.
08:0720.
08:08Is 20.
08:10Nine minus eight is one.
08:11Yep.
08:12Add that on.
08:1321.
08:14Times it by 25.
08:15Five to five.
08:16And then add the two.
08:17Perfect.
08:18Five to seven.
08:18Well done.
08:19Well done.
08:19Well done.
08:21Well done, Charlie.
08:23Very good.
08:24That's maths for you.
08:2517 plays.
08:25Now, James, it's 13.
08:27As we go into our first tea time teaser,
08:29which is Downs Arms.
08:31And the clue.
08:32He puts down his weapon and has a little dance instead.
08:36He puts down his weapon and has a little dance instead.
08:56Welcome back.
08:57I left with the clue.
08:57He puts down his weapon and has a little dance instead.
09:01Because he's a swordsman.
09:04A swordsman.
09:06So, 17 plays 13.
09:07Charlie in the lead.
09:08Charlie, letters.
09:10I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
09:12Thank you, Charlie.
09:13S.
09:14And a vowel.

09:20And a consonant.

09:27And a third one.
09:29B.
09:31And a vowel.
09:33A.
09:34And another vowel.
09:37O.
09:39And one final consonant.
09:41And a final T.
09:43And here's the countdown clock.
09:47Are you going to stay out of jail?
10:14Bye!
10:17Yes, Charlie?
10:18I need a five.
10:20A five, James?
10:21Six.
10:22And a six.
10:23Charlie?
10:23Boats.
10:25And James?
10:26Beats.
10:27Yeah.
10:28Can we advance on six?
10:30Can we beat six?
10:31John and Susie.
10:34I've got six.
10:35Bethos.
10:36Bethos?
10:37Yeah.
10:38Yeah, very good.
10:39Time to climax.
10:40And about.
10:42As in thereabouts.
10:43But just two sixes from us is a tricky one.
10:45So James is back in the lead by two points.
10:47Nineteen to Charlie's seventeen.
10:50James?
10:51Letters for you.
10:53Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
10:55Thank you, James.
10:56M.
10:57And another.
10:59L.
11:01And another.

11:05And a vowel, please.

11:07And another.

11:47And a consonant.
11:48And a consonant.
11:48And a consonant.
11:48And a consonant.
11:48And a consonant.
11:49And a consonant.
11:51And a consonant.
11:56And a consonant.
12:00Yes, James.

12:04Yes, James.
12:04Malt.
12:05And?
12:06Quails.
12:07Quails.
12:07Very good.
12:08Mmm.
12:09Yep.
12:10Now, John and Susie.
12:12Hair.
12:13Well, can I have qualm?
12:15Qualms.
12:16You could have as well.
12:17Qualms.
12:17Qualms, yeah, yeah.
12:18That's something.
12:18Very good.
12:19And seven, squalid.
12:21Squalid.
12:22Oh, yes.
12:23Very good.
12:24All right.
12:2525, there's 23.
12:26James on 25.
12:27And now, Charlie, it's your numbers game.
12:29Good luck.
12:30Six small, please, Rachel.
12:31Thank you, Charlie.
12:32Six little ones.
12:33Changed from the one large we've been having lately.
12:35Right, they are four, ten, four, two, eight, and nine.
12:43And the target, 562.
12:47562.
12:48562.
13:18Yes, Charlie?
13:20Five, six, one.
13:21One away, James.
13:23Five, six, one.
13:24Both of you.
13:25So, Charlie.
13:26If you do nine minus two, seven.
13:29Nine minus two, seven.
13:31Times by ten.
13:3370.
13:34And then times that by the eight.
13:35And then times that by the eight for 560.
13:38And then four over four is one.
13:39Another one.
13:40Yep, it is indeed.
13:41And that gives you one away.
13:42Five, six, one.
13:43Same route?
13:44Same way?
13:45Yep.
13:45All right.
13:46Now, Rachel, can we expect any 5-6-2s?
13:52Difficult?
13:53Leave it with me.
13:53Yeah, 5-6-1 is a good effort, so.
13:55Certainly will.
13:56All right.
13:57So, 32 plays, 32 points in it.
13:59James in the lead at the moment.
14:01And we turn to John.
14:03Nyle and John, what are you going to talk to us about today?
14:08Oh, just so many people ask me where the dreaded voice came from.
14:17So many people seem to impersonate and do it much better than I do, actually.
14:21It was a bit alarming.
14:23And I'd always been fascinated by voices ever since I was a kid.
14:26And I was always told off by my parents for impersonating people.
14:30I still do it now.
14:32I've just been down in Dorset.
14:34And I found myself, you know, with that little West Country accent.
14:38It's just an acceptance thing, I think.
14:40But it always fascinated me.
14:42And I could impersonate the masters at school, which made me quite popular.
14:47Do you know?
14:49And it was quite a good defence mechanism, really, because I could be all the masters.
14:53And the one particular one was my chemistry master, who was very good at chemistry and a very nice chap.
14:58But he had a bit of an unfortunate whistle on his S's.
15:02You see, like this.
15:06And the strange thing was that my parents used to play tennis.
15:09Nothing strange about that.
15:11But at the tennis club, the groundsman there had a different problem with his S's.
15:17And they were quite cocky issues like that.
15:21So I sort of, I wondered what would happen if they met.
15:28I don't know if I should go there, really.
15:30But, you know, it was something like, good morning, Stanley.
15:34How are you today?
15:36Lovely weather for ducks.
15:38Yes, it might be lovely weather for ducks, but it's no good for cutting the grass.
15:43Yeah, as I see, I must be an advantage of being a chemistry master.
15:48I spend most of my time in the lab dealing with test tubes full of things like potassium cyanide.
15:55It's funny to mention potassium cyanide, because I'll use that as a poison for rats and weeds.
16:04Well, it's very nice to talk to you, Stanley.
16:08And I must be off now, so see you soon, I hope, Stanley.
16:12Yes, very much.
16:14Very good.
16:21I wish I'd never started that, you know, never mind.
16:25Lovely stuff.
16:26Lovely little whispers.
16:28So funny.
16:29Yes, yes, yes.
16:31So we'll leave you right there, John, because Rachel's been up to something.
16:345-6-2, Rachel.
16:36Possible?
16:36Yeah, there were a couple of ways.
16:38If you say 10 plus 4 is 14, 9 minus the other 4 is 5,
16:43times them together for 70,
16:45times that by 8 for 560,
16:48and you have the two left over for 5-6-2.
16:50Oh, well done.
16:51Well done, Rachel.
16:54Never foxed.
16:55Never foxed.
16:5632 plays 30.
16:57James in the lead only by two.
16:59James.
16:59Now, letters.

18:21Er.
18:21Anything else?
18:22Er, a couple of sevens, Nick.
18:24An ailment and aliment, which is an old word for food or nourishment.
18:28Aliment.
18:29So, 36 plays 38.
18:31Still that two points.
18:32Now, Charlie, try your hand at this letters game.
18:35Can I have a consonant, please?
18:37Thank you, Charlie.

19:47Charlie?
19:47Booted.
19:48And?
19:49Pooted.
19:50Do sixes now.
19:52Well, you can have, with apologies in advance,
19:55to poot is to break wind, so you can have pooted if you like.
19:58But that's still just a six.
20:00Thank you for that.
20:02Just two points in it, James.
20:0344 to Charlie's 42.
20:05And now, your numbers game.
20:07Can I have one large one and five small ones, please?
20:11For old time's sake, thank you, James.
20:12One large, five, little again.
20:14And this time they are six, ten, two, another two, four,
20:21and the large one, 100, all the evens, and the target, 606.
20:26606.
20:58Now, James, let's rattle through this very quickly, shall we?
21:01All right.
21:02And 606.
21:03And James?
21:04100 times six, plus four, plus two.
21:07Yeah, very straightforward.
21:08OK, Charlie.
21:09Yeah.
21:09There we go.
21:10Yeah.
21:11No arguing over that.
21:12So, still two points, 54 plays 52.
21:15As we turn to our second tea time teaser, which is dire meals.
21:19And the clue, the holiday rep said the meals were very good.
21:22He clearly lied.
21:24The holiday rep said the meals were very good.
21:27He clearly lied.
21:44Welcome back.
21:45Welcome back.
21:46I left you with the clue.
21:47The holiday rep said the meals were very good.
21:49He clearly lied.
21:53Because he was a misleader.
21:55It was a misleader.
21:57Misleader, anyway.
21:58There we go.
21:59Charlie, your letters came.
22:02A consonant, please, Rachel.

23:37Well done. Now then, Susie? That's nautical rope, that kind, just to spoil the joke, I know. And a couple
23:48of eights, tramline and terminal. Well done. Oh that's brilliant. Brilliant job, well done.

25:11Charlie?
25:11I've got an eight.
25:13Good man.
25:14Now then, James?
25:16A tangles.
25:17Tangles, Charlie.
25:19Lengthens.
25:20Lengthens.
25:20Oh, Charlie, there's only one N.
25:22Oh.
25:23Oh, I'm sorry.
25:25That is bad luck.
25:27It's really bad luck.
25:27Lentz would give you a seven.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Yeah.
25:31That's tough.
25:32Now, John.
25:34We've got the Liggetts.
25:37A legate, yeah.
25:38A legate, L-E-G-A-T-E-S.
25:40Yeah.
25:41A member of the clergy represents the Pope.
25:43Yeah.
25:44But just sevens, together with Lentz.
25:46That's it?
25:46Yeah.
25:4868 to 52, James has stretched out a bit of a lead there as we turn back to Susie and
25:54her origins of words.
25:55Yes, Susie?
25:56Well, I've been browsing through the Oxford Dictionary's blog, which I recommend quite often.
26:00It's a free site with lots of lovely facts and stories about the English language.
26:04And this one reminded me of all the words that have passed into English from movies and movie making or
26:11filmmaking.
26:12So since its really inception in the early 20th century, lots and lots of words have travelled into English.
26:19Cliffhanger.
26:20That, of course, came from shots of people literally hanging onto a cliff by their fingertips.
26:25It became a famous film with Sylvester Stallone as well.
26:28Something might end up on the cutting room floor.
26:30We might just say that.
26:32That obviously refers back to parts of the film that were literally cut out from the reel and discarded onto
26:38the floor.
26:38We talk about things being in the can, referring to the canister in which a film reel is held once
26:43editing is complete.
26:45But this one that took me by surprise, and I didn't know this one, and I love it.
26:49We talk about the silver screen.
26:50Well, that goes back to people first visiting the pictures, as they were called.
26:55And movie screens were coated with reflective metallic paint, so it resulted in a really highly reflective silver surface that
27:03better displayed the projected images, so from the screen projector.
27:08And obviously, as technology moved on, then that died out.
27:11So there you go, just a smattering of words that have crossed into English from the cinema.
27:15But I like silver screen.
27:16I didn't realise it was literally silver to begin with.
27:19Very good.
27:19Well done.
27:23So 68 to Charlie's 52, and Charlie, it's your letters game now.
27:28Charlie.
27:29I have a consonant, please, Rachel.

31:03No, I stand corrected.
