00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Tuesday afternoon.
00:34Two contestants hoping it will be a glory day for them.
00:38But either way, at the end of the programme, we'll send them both back to their hometowns.
00:42One of them dancing in the dark, the other one singing I'm on Fire.
00:46Well, let's get over to Rachel Riley. No doubt she'll cover me if I make a mistake.
00:50How are you doing, Rach? I'm good.
00:51I know there are loads of Easter eggs in there, dancing in the dark,
00:55but I'm terrible with music, so come on, tell me.
00:57So many tracks of songs from the great Bruce Springsteen album,
01:02Born in the USA, which is unbelievably so, 40 years old today.
01:10Over 30 million album sales and a huge part of my childhood.
01:13I think it was for a lot of 40-somethings because you get it out of the parents' record collection.
01:18And I have it in vinyl now.
01:21We've been talking about this off-air because I was showing you the Dancing in the Dark video,
01:25which I thought you would love.
01:26I know. Well, it was before I was born, but Courtney Cox was in it, aged 19, 20.
01:30And I didn't realise she was about to turn 60 this month.
01:32Yeah.
01:33Wow.
01:33Great record. I still love it. The cover's iconic.
01:36The tunes are timeless for me.
01:37And Bruce Springsteen still, look at 2023, selling out stadium after stadium from Murrayfield all the way down to Wembley.
01:45He is the absolute boss.
01:46But, Rachel, there's only one boss at Countdown.
01:49She's sitting over there.
01:50She rules with an iron fist.
01:52We dare not disagree.
01:53Don't look at her.
01:54Don't look at her.
01:55It's our Susie Dent, are you?
01:56I'm very well, thank you.
01:58Good.
01:58And the gaffer of an entirely different Channel 4 show is with us all of this week.
02:02And it's great to have him here.
02:03Christian Guru-Murthy.
02:06Are you a fan of the boss?
02:09Yes.
02:09And actually, well, I mean, it wasn't until a colleague of mine called Safraz Manzoor, who used to work on
02:14Channel 4 News and is now an author, sort of introduced us all to Springsteen because he was obsessed by
02:20him.
02:20And, of course, he wrote a book, which then became a movie, which Springsteen was in.
02:24Great story.
02:25Our new champion is Peter Young, who was either scoring nines or making up words or getting eights and not
02:32getting the numbers, then getting the numbers.
02:34As erratic teapot winners, we've had this series.
02:37How are you, Peter?
02:38I'm fine.
02:39Good.
02:40Good to have you back, you know, representing the Isle of Wight here.
02:43Forget about the USA.
02:44And you touched on it yesterday.
02:46You talked about the great food of the Isle of Wight, but also music and you're a big fan.
02:49Are you in a band?
02:50I'm in two.
02:51Yeah, tell me.
02:52I've been in several.
02:53Right, you take two of the less liked genres of music, folk and punk, but you can buy them and
02:58suddenly everyone's dancing.
02:59And it's, I mean, one sort of larger band, which is folk punk, and one little kind of punk trio.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Well, immediately, as soon as you say that, I'm thinking, in terms of bands, I'm thinking Gogo Bordello.
03:12Gogo Bordello, Dropkick Murphys, Sluggy Molly, obviously the Pogues.
03:16Brilliant.
03:16Yeah.
03:17So much fun.
03:18So much fun.
03:18That's great.
03:19Well, listen, you're up against Conor Cram, just 17 years old from Edinburgh, sitting as A-levels.
03:24Hello, young man.
03:25Hello, Colin.
03:26It's good to see you.
03:26Great to have you here.
03:27Now, why would a young person put themselves through this?
03:30You're already a qualified referee.
03:32Yes, that's correct.
03:34Now, given the money that is in play now, at the very top end of refereeing in the Premier League
03:39and then getting your Champions League games as well,
03:42would you think of it as a proper career?
03:44Yeah.
03:45That's the plan, is to take it on as a career.
03:48Yeah.
03:48Well, that's it.
03:48We can like him for now.
03:50Of course, if you ever become a professional referee, he'll hate you forever.
03:52But for now, Conor, I really like you.
03:54And it's good to have you here.
03:55Conor and Peter, best of luck.
04:00Let's do young.
04:01The day is young.
04:02Let's go.
04:03Hello, Rachel.
04:04Hi, Peter.
04:04I will have a consonant, please.
04:08Start the day with T.
04:10Consonant.
04:12M.
04:14Consonant.
04:16L.
04:17And a consonant.
04:19N.
04:20Vowel, please.
04:22I.
04:23Vowel.
04:24A.
04:26Vowel.
04:28I.
04:29Vowel.
04:31A.
04:35A final consonant.
04:37A final S.
04:39Goodness me.
04:39At home and in the studio.
04:41Let's play kind of thing.
04:41I.
04:42I.
05:10I.
05:11I.
05:12Peter? Seven. And Connor? Six. And six for you. What have you got there, Connor?
05:17I've got manias. Manias. And Peter? Analyst. How are you spelling that?
05:22A-N-A-L-I-S-T. You either need a Y for someone who analyses things,
05:28or somebody who writes annals, you need the double N. So, I'm sorry, Peter.
05:32Well, let's analyse that. Manias, young man, get you your points on the board.
05:36Well done. And, Krishnan, can you find a seven or better?
05:38Well, you were so close to a nine, which would have been animalist.
05:44Oh, I had animals. I didn't see animalist. Oh.
05:48Yes, an animal liberationist, essentially, is an animalist.
05:52And there's a lovely eight there with talisman. Nice.
05:54Before, I didn't know the word animalist even existed,
05:57so you could have given me 30 minutes or when you got it.
05:59A lot of people at home might have animals, but the animalist is great.
06:03Fantastic work. Fantastic work.
06:05OK, young Connor Crabbe, you're picking these letters.
06:07Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel? Thank you, Connor.
06:11N. And another.
06:14H. And a vowel, please.
06:17U. And another.
06:21E. Consonant.
06:23T. And another.
06:32O. And a final consonant, please.
06:39And a final. D.
06:40T. On 30 seconds.
06:43T.
06:44T.
06:45T.
06:46T.
06:46T.
06:46T.
06:47T.
06:47T.
06:48T.
06:48T.
06:51T.
06:52T.
06:52T.
06:53T.
06:53T.
06:53T.
06:54T.
06:58T.
07:06T.
07:14T.
07:15I'll try a seven.
07:16I'm going to try a seven.
07:17And Peter?
07:18Nine.
07:19A nine.
07:20I wonder, will it exist?
07:21First of all, let's get the seven, Connor.
07:23I've tried Studion.
07:25I don't know if it'll be there.
07:27How are you spelling it?
07:28S-T-U-D-I-O-N.
07:31And what about Peter's nine?
07:33Unhoisted.
07:34Oh, you are such a risk taker, Peter.
07:38It's not there.
07:40Hoisted, obviously, there, but you can't unhoist.
07:43What about Connor?
07:44Yeah, that's not there either, I'm afraid.
07:46I can see that being in Latin somewhere back in ancient Rome,
07:49but not here.
07:50Sorry.
07:50Let's get some sense from Dixie Recorder.
07:53Come on, Krishna.
07:54Well, I think a punk folk hero might be a hedonist.
07:58Yes, very good for eight.
07:59Or you could have outshine.
08:01Outshine for eight as well.
08:03Outshine.
08:03You can't add the D on, which is what we were both wondering over here.
08:06But, yeah, we'll give us an eight.
08:08You are outshining the rest of us at the moment.
08:11It stays 6-0.
08:12We get their numbers for the first time today.
08:14Peter, you're choosing.
08:16Six small.
08:17Six little ones.
08:19Yes.
08:19Get those gambles in early.
08:21Don't have to tell you twice.
08:22First numbers of the day.
08:24Three,
08:24one,
08:25five,
08:26three,
08:27four,
08:28and eight.
08:30Relatively small ones.
08:31The target,
08:32673.
08:33Six,
08:34seven,
08:34three.
08:34Numbers up.
08:43Six,
09:02seven,
09:03three.
09:06with six small.
09:08Peter?
09:08No.
09:09Nowhere near it.
09:10Connor?
09:10No.
09:11Nowhere near it.
09:11Thank you for not wasting any time.
09:13We can just go straight to Rachel Riley.
09:16Well,
09:17if you say
09:17five plus one is six,
09:20times that by three for 18,
09:22the second three for 21,
09:23times that by four for 84,
09:25and times that by eight,
09:27you get to 672,
09:28but this was impossible.
09:29You could have got to one away.
09:30Great effort, though.
09:33So seven points,
09:34the most that you could have managed at home.
09:36Six points is all we've handed out
09:38in our first three rounds.
09:39So let's get a tea time teaser.
09:41It's chess duel.
09:42Chess duel.
09:44This will leave you feeling utterly deceived.
09:46This will leave you feeling utterly deceived.
10:03Well, welcome back.
10:04It's probably a good origins of words, actually,
10:06for Susie for a future episode
10:07on this tea time teaser.
10:09It will leave you feeling utterly deceived.
10:11Hocus,
10:11which I just immediately go hocus pocus
10:13and all sorts of sorcery and stuff.
10:15That is where it comes from.
10:16And hocus pocus was,
10:17obviously, a conjurer's exclamation,
10:20but it goes back to a fake Latin prayer.
10:22But I will go back to that one day.
10:24Well, listen,
10:24both champion and challenger,
10:26Peter and Connor,
10:26need the magic up some more points.
10:28Young Connor,
10:29you're in charge of these letters.
10:31Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
10:33Thank you, Connor.
10:34T.
10:35And another.
10:37J.
10:38And a vowel, please.
10:39I.
10:40And another.

10:46Vowel.
10:47O.
10:49O.
10:50Consonant.
10:50R.
10:51And another.
10:53T.
10:54And a final consonant.
10:57A final P.
11:00Thanks, Rachel.
11:00H.
11:26All right.
11:31Time's up there, Conor. How many?
11:33Just four.
11:34Four from you. And Peter?
11:36Seven.
11:37And a seven. Right, the four, Conor.
11:39Just passed.
11:40Yes, no worries. And the seven?
11:42Protist.
11:43Let's see.
11:46Absolutely fine.
11:47From biology, a single-celled organism such as a protozoan or a simple alga.
11:52Very good indeed.
11:53Well done indeed.
11:54Takes the seven points.
11:57For you, Krishnan?
11:58Well, you could have added eight.
12:01Because if you're singing Born in the USA, you might be Patriots.
12:06Very good.
12:08Patriots. Great spot. Great spot for Patriots.
12:11Fantastic. And with just the J left over, as good as it gets.
12:14More letters now from our champion, Peter Young.
12:17May I have a vowel, please?
12:19Thank you, Peter.
12:19E.
12:21Vowel.
12:22I.
12:24Vowel.
12:25E.
12:27Consonant.
12:28M.
12:30Consonant.
12:31T.
12:33Consonant.
12:35V.
12:36Vowel.
12:38U.
12:40Consonant.
12:42R.
12:45And a final consonant, please.
12:48A final T.
12:49And a half a minute.
13:11And a half a minute.
13:21Peter.
13:22Six.
13:22And Connor.
13:23Just four again.
13:24Don't worry about it, mate.
13:25What's the four?
13:26Time.
13:27Time.
13:27And we've got time.
13:29That's the good news.
13:29Peter.
13:30And mutter.
13:31Yes.
13:32Can't be mutter, but I did check.
13:34All right.
13:34Could we get beyond six, though?
13:36Yes.
13:37There are a couple of sevens.
13:39Emitter.
13:40And emitter.
13:41Double T.
13:42Or termite.
13:43Two sevens.
13:44It's the six that counts here.
13:46Still very close indeed.
13:4613 plays six.
13:49After a crazy first numbers round,
13:51it's up to you, Connor,
13:52whether you want it to be more straightforward.
13:54Can I have two large, please, Rachel?
13:56You can, indeed.
13:57Too big for little.
14:00And the second numbers of the day are
14:01seven, one, five, eight, one hundred and fifty.
14:08And this target, 292.
14:11292.
14:12Numbers up.
14:13.
14:13Hang on.
14:42Hang on.
14:43And that's time. Conor. 292. 292 for the ten points. And Peter. 292. Well done. Off you go, Conor.
14:498 minus 5 is 3. Yep. Times 100 is 300. And then minus a 7 in the 1 for 292.
14:57Loads of ways for that one. That's one of them. Yeah. And Peter. 5 plus 1. 6. Times 50. 300
15:04again.
15:05Minus 8. We knew what was coming. 292 once more. Well done.
15:1010 points for Peter Young and Conor Crabbe. And what was a very nip and tuck game today.
15:16Time to have a chat with Christian. And as we did yesterday, weirdly moved on the bikes because it was
15:20World Bike Day.
15:21So I want to focus on you today and chat. Maybe a little bit about your long and storied career.
15:28Well, I mean, I started when I was very young, when I was 18.
15:31Because I'd started going on telly when I was about 15, 16 as part of the audience of a debate
15:38programme called Open to Question on the BBC.
15:42And I then became the presenter of that because I wrote to the BBC and asked them for some work
15:47experience.
15:48And at the end of the work experience, they said, we're actually looking for a new presenter for that show.
15:52Wow. And they screen tested me and gave me a job.
15:56From the audience to present in the show.
15:58And it was the week before my A-level results came out where I was supposed to go off and
16:03be a doctor.
16:04So that kind of changed everything. It was just sort of a summer job after my exams.
16:10Sort of right place, right time. Had some great times.
16:13But it's strange because you would never really get the situation, I think.
16:16But you've four people who would be, I suppose, described as forms of presenters who all managed to get to
16:23this place accidentally.
16:25None of us trained to be on television at all.
16:27And that's rare. You know, that none of us harboured an ambition to be on TV when we were choosing
16:32our life path.
16:33And we've all ended up here.
16:35I certainly was ill prepared for it when I got into it by accident.
16:38You have to learn quickly, don't you?
16:40You do. And you just learn on the job.
16:42The thing about journalism is, you know, it is a trade traditionally, you know, and these days people go off
16:48and do degrees and postgraduate journalism certificates and all the rest of it and then come into it.
16:53But, I mean, lots of us have just kind of learnt how to do it by doing it.
16:58Yeah.
17:00And it's endlessly fun.
17:02You know, I mean, I've been doing it a long time now, but it's still new.
17:05And that's why you carry on doing it.
17:06Yeah, that experience you can't buy, as you say, learning on the job.
17:09But, hey, the right TV audience at the right time, sliding doors moment.
17:14There you go.
17:14Change your life forever.
17:15Brilliant.
17:16Krishnagurimurthy.
17:2223 plus 16 in a game today.
17:24It is gloriously unpredictable with Peter Young as champion.
17:27And it's your letters.
17:30Right.
17:30One vowel.
17:32Thank you, Peter.
17:33E.
17:35Consonant.
17:36G.
17:37Consonant.
17:39R.
17:41Consonant.
17:42N.
17:44Consonant.
17:45D.
17:47Vowel.
17:49A.
17:51Vowel.
17:53E.
17:56Consonant.
17:57C.
18:00Vowel.
18:02Lastly, O.
18:05Here we go.
18:10hah.
18:11E.
18:12E.
18:13E.
18:30C.
18:35E.
18:37Peter? Seven. Connor? Six. The six is? Ranged. Ranged. And the seven? Grandy.
18:44Grandy. Very nice. Very nice indeed. That gets you seven points on the board.
18:50Quite a lot going on, quite a lot of near misses with those letters.
18:53But how did you get on there, Krishna? First of all, I went for grenade as a seven.
18:57Yeah. But there is an eight, which doesn't really sound like English.
19:01But renegado. What's that mean? Yes, it's a Spanish version of a renegade.
19:05How does that find its way into the Oxford English Dictionary?
19:08Because it will have been used often enough.
19:10That will be one of those words that become naturalised in the language.
19:13Renegado, yep. Every day.
19:15It's not a day goes by, I don't hear it being used.
19:17At 30.16, more letters, please. Connor Crabb.
19:21Still within touch and distance, my friend.
19:23Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel? Thank you, Connor.
19:26R. And another.
19:29V. And a vowel.
19:32I. And another.
19:34A. Consonant.
19:37N. And another.
19:40S. Vow.
19:44O. And a consonant.
19:48G. Final consonant, please.
19:51A final C.
19:53And start the clock.
19:56We'll see you next Sunday.
19:59We'll see you soon.
20:02We'll see you soon.
20:05We'll see you soon.
20:25Time's up, Conor, how many?
20:27Seven.
20:27And for you, Peter?
20:28Eight.
20:29Oh, Conor, what's the word?
20:30Copings.
20:31Copings.
20:32Let's cope with this eight.
20:33Copcing.
20:34And corpsing over the dictionary corner.
20:37Yeah, copings, I wasn't expecting to be in there as a noun.
20:40You can put the S on, though, because it is the top of a brick or stone wall,
20:45so that is good for Seven, but corpsing does trump it,
20:47because we are used to corpsing in the Countdown Studio.
20:50It's laughing when you shouldn't, essentially.
20:55We have the odd corpsing moment during this show.
20:57Oh, quite a few.
20:58There's a few.
20:59There's a few people do not get to see.
21:02Right, corpsing gets you a big eight points.
21:04That was very, very good, Conor.
21:05Unlucky.
21:06And Peter will return to the numbers now.
21:08One large and five small, please.
21:10You're not gambling this time.
21:11You just want straightforward ten points.
21:13Let's see if we can find them.
21:14That's not what Conor wants.
21:16Five littles this round.
21:17Eight, nine, four, three, seven.
21:22And a large one, 100.
21:23And the target to reach 136.
21:26136.
21:27Numbers up.
21:29106.
21:29Oh,
21:57there, hey.
21:59136 is the target, Peter?
22:02136.
22:02And for you, Conor?
22:03136, not written down.
22:04Not written down, off you go then, Conor.
22:06I was thinking 100...
22:09Wait, no, I've forgotten. Sorry.
22:11Oh, don't worry, you can have those mind-blank moments all the time in this show.
22:15Peter?
22:164 times 9...
22:1836.
22:18That's 100.
22:19Easy done, easy done, Conor, let me tell you.
22:21Well done, 10 points to Peter.
22:23APPLAUSE
22:25Now, our second Tea Time teaser is a musical slant to it,
22:30but not as obvious as you think.
22:33So, it's New Order, New Order, but think beyond that band.
22:37The clue is, how does it feel? Dion thought to himself.
22:40How does it feel? Dion thought to himself.
22:58Welcome back, everybody.
22:59How does it feel? Dion thought to himself.
23:02So, even though New Order was the teaser, it was nothing to do with them,
23:05it was Dion and Wanderer.
23:07The Wanderer, an iconic track first recorded by Dion, not written by him,
23:11but recorded by him. Right, 48 plays 16, six rounds to go.
23:16Conor, let's have some fun, it's your letters.
23:18Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
23:20Thank you, Conor.
23:41A consonant, please.
23:45And a final vowel.
23:48A final vowel.
23:50And good luck.
23:52And good luck.
24:23Time's up, Conor.
24:24Just a five.
24:25A five there, and Peter.
24:27Five as well.
24:28Yeah, difficult round, Conor, not just a five.
24:30It's going to be a good score. What have you got?
24:32Woody.
24:33And for you, Peter?
24:34Endow.
24:35Do we have anything else there, Krishnan?
24:36A little bit better, not much better. Wooden.
24:39Wooden, just there you go.
24:40Would have given you a six.
24:41Very good indeed.
24:43Six is the best that we can do.
24:44That's the best we can do.
24:45All right. More letters, please, Peter.

25:52Time's up. How did you get on there, Peter?
25:54Nine. A nine. And Connor?
25:56Six. The six is? Great.
25:58On fire here, isn't he? Let's have it. Outrangers.
26:01Is it in? Yes, it is in the dictionary. Well done.
26:06All right, well done. 18 points if you manage to get a maximum
26:10in a regular round. Very, very good indeed from Peter Young.
26:15I'm assuming, well, who knows? Is there any other nines?
26:18No. Have a nice eight. Yeah.
26:20Let's just move on. At four rounds to go,
26:22Origins and Words time though, Susie Dent. Are we going to the emails?
26:26We're going to the tweets, actually. Very modern.
26:29Nice tweet from Greg, who was surprised to hear his friend
26:35use nonplussed to mean couldn't care less.
26:38He said, well, I use it to mean actually I was completely perturbed.
26:42Which one is right? And the answer takes me to two of my favourite subjects.
26:47So, U.S. English versus British English.
26:50And lost positives, which the Countdown team are very familiar with.
26:54So, etymologically, we are actually correct in British English
26:57because nonplussed goes back to the French non plus, meaning I can no more.
27:02So, if you are nonplussed, you are in a state of complete confusion and perplexity.
27:07And you don't know how to act. You can sort of act no more, if you like.
27:10But in the U.S., they have started to view the non as a kind of normal negative prefix.
27:17So, they think if you are nonplussed, you probably could have been plussed.
27:21And it means that, you know, you really couldn't care less.
27:24Your nonplussed is like, ah, c'est la vie.
27:26In fact, the complete opposite of the original intention of the world.
27:30But you can see the word.
27:31You can see these, you know, this very clear gap arising in lots of different ways.
27:37And it is quite confusing whether we'll follow suit or whether they will turn back.
27:42Who knows? But they are, at the moment, diverging quite significantly.
27:46And the reason lost positives come into it is the question, can you be plussed?
27:50Well, no, because it began with nonplussed in French.
27:53So, it doesn't belong with the gruntled and the wieldy and the pecunious
27:57and the couth and the gormful and the ruthful, etc.
28:00It's not one of those yet.
28:02I mean, it's possible that the word will disappear
28:04because people are unsure about its meaning.
28:07But it's one of those rare examples where, actually,
28:10the US English has not got it quite right.
28:12And we did.
28:13Nice. There you go.
28:14Started with a tweet. Thanks for that. Lovely.
28:16APPLAUSE
