00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34It's a Monday and therefore we should, by all rights, be bushy-tailed and bright-eyed.
00:38But apparently, Rachel, many of us are not.
00:41In fact, binge-watching, box-set binge-watching is the thing.
00:46And apparently 10 million Brits are just glued to their television one episode after the other.
00:53In fact, we're now known as box-set Britain.
00:55And I get it. I get it.
00:57And we sit there and we say, oh, let's watch Billions, which we enjoy.
01:01And then shall we watch another one?
01:03And then shall we watch another one?
01:05Are you into the box-set business?
01:06Well, plus now they start without you having to start them.
01:09They just kind of go, in five seconds, the next episode will start.
01:12So if you're not quick enough to the remote, it starts and then you're stuck there for another hour.
01:16And then another one and then another one.
01:17Yeah, yeah.
01:18Definitely guilty, yeah.
01:19What are your favourites?
01:20Well, House of Cards is one I've been watching lately.
01:23And Pasha said to me, I can't watch box-sets because I've got an addictive personality with them and I
01:27just stay up all night.
01:28And, yeah, I think he's proved himself right.
01:31Well done.
01:32All right.
01:32Now, we've got two new contestants, Rachel.
01:35We've got Tom Brodie, a geography student from Swansea University, from Newton Abba, big music fan, big festival fan.
01:42You were telling me earlier on that you actually were an official at last year's Glastonbury.
01:47And this year you went as a sort of a paying guest, as it were.
01:50Yeah.
01:50It's very hard to get tickets.
01:51So last year I went, got a free ticket, as long as I volunteered, put a high-vis jacket on,
01:56looked important and told people where the toilets were, basically.
01:59And the highlight was, in musical terms, anyway.
02:02Radio ahead, because I know they're not going to be around for much longer.
02:05So, yeah, that was exciting.
02:06That was exciting.
02:07Big moment, yeah.
02:08Good man.
02:08All right, well, good luck today.
02:09You're joined by Rob McCrudden, a retired support worker from Clare-Nethley.
02:14And Rob was a nurse in the UK and then you took yourself off to Holland, you were telling me.
02:19Tell us a little bit about that.
02:20Well, I met somebody over there when I was on holiday and they said, oh, I can get you a
02:23job as a nurse in Holland.
02:25Sadly, it didn't work out because I couldn't speak the language.
02:28But I did manage to get a job in a hotel in the restaurant as a trainee, Silver Service waiter.
02:33Right.
02:33And it was in 1972.
02:35So I was young and blond-eyed then and blue-eyed and I was a waiter and I was attending
02:41to this British couple.
02:42And I was very attentive to them all evening and I was stood in the corner of the room and
02:47at their beck and call I was.
02:49And at the end of the evening, they called me over and I said, yes, sir, madam, can I help
02:53you?
02:54And they said, yes, we would just like to say how well you speak English.
02:58You speak excellent English.
02:59And I was expecting a big tip.
03:01Well, you've got a big compliment.
03:03No idea.
03:03I said, well, it's better than nothing.
03:05Exactly.
03:06Well done.
03:06Well done, Rob.
03:07Now, a big round of applause for Tom and Rob McCrudden.
03:12Very good.
03:15And over in the corner, Susie, of course, joined once again with our distinguished guest, actor and writer, the wonderful
03:21John Chalice.
03:22Welcome back, John.
03:23Thank you so much.
03:26Down to business now.
03:28Tom Brodie, let us go.
03:29Hi, Rachel.

04:51Very good. Excellent. Yep, that's very good. Two good opening rounds there. Now, John and Susie?
05:00Well, personally, I was struggling and I got eventually to flank her, which is completely
05:06irrelevant now, isn't it? Because you got there first. It's very annoying. It's satisfying for you.

06:30Very good.
06:30Yeah.

06:34We've got a seven and a fruiter.
06:37Yes.
06:38Yeah, very good.
06:39And furtive otherwise too, so a couple of them.
06:41All right, that'll do.
06:42Fourteen to seven.
06:44Now then, Tom, it's your numbers game.
06:46First of the day.
06:48Hi, Richard.
06:48Could I get two from the top and four from everywhere else?
06:50Two large, four little.
06:52Thank you, Tom.
06:53And the first of the week indeed.
06:54They are nine, five, four, three.
06:59And then the large two.

07:03And the target, 420.
07:05Four to zero.
07:38Yes, Tom?

07:47OK.

07:5175 plus 25, 100.
07:53Times four, 400.
07:56Sorry, that's four to one.
07:58It's nine plus nine times three.
08:00That's 28.
08:01Missed it clear.
08:01Sorry, Tom.
08:02Bad luck.
08:03Bad luck.
08:04Rachel, 420.
08:06Yes, if you start the same way, 75 plus 25, 100, and then add the five for 105, and then
08:13times that by four, you get 420.
08:15Fabulous.
08:16420.
08:17That's the way.
08:18Thank you, Rachel.
08:21So, Rob on 14, Tom on seven, as we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is lichen
08:27pie, or lichen pie, if you prefer.
08:29And the clue, is this the sort of person who always sees the bigger picture?
08:33Is this the sort of person who always sees the bigger picture?
08:53Welcome back.
08:54Warm welcome back.
08:55I left you with the clue.
08:55Is this the sort of person who always sees the bigger picture?
08:59And the answer to that one, of course, is cinephile, somebody who loves the cinema.
09:03Yes, cinephilia is the love of the silver screen, really.
09:06A cinephiliac, in that case, I guess.
09:08All right.

13:38Thank you. And Tom?
13:39Same way.
13:40There we go.
13:41OK.
13:46So, as we turn to John Chalice, the score's down, Rob, 39, and Tom on 24.
13:52Now, you've got some stories from the theatre for us, John, I think.
13:58Oh, yes.
13:59It's the early days in the theatre in the sort of far-off repertory companies.
14:08Some funny things happen.
14:09There's a very old actor lad here.
14:11No, no, he'd been in the business for many, many years.
14:15And he got about 962 lines in this particular play.
14:18And he couldn't remember all of them, you see.
14:22But he had a long, long speech, you see.
14:24And the three of us were sitting on stage listening to this speech.
14:28We were mercenary soldiers being told off by this old colonel.
14:32You see, you know, you people don't know how to be a soldier these days.
14:36And he waffled on and on.
14:37We were listening to him.
14:38But on one night, he just forgot the lines.
14:41He'd say,
14:41What was I saying?
14:47I remember in the old days, I had...
14:50There was a time when I...
14:52By this time, the prompter was supposed to pick up the script and give him the line, you see.
15:00But there was silence.
15:02If I'm just to see as I'm saying, I...
15:06Nothing.
15:07And eventually, this old actor lad here went off to the corner of the stage.
15:11And there was a black curtain there hiding the prompter from the rest of the theatre.
15:16And he twitched the curtain aside and he said,
15:18What's the line?
15:22And I could see the prompter in the corner with the book closed on his lap,
15:28looking up into the flyers like this.
15:30And he looked down and there was the actor saying once again,
15:34What's the line?
15:35And he went,
15:37Ten past ten, sir.
15:42And that was the end of that scene, you see.
15:45And terrible laughter ensued.
15:47And the old actor lad here, I think that was the end of his career.
15:49He never was on stage again.
15:51Lovely.
15:52Shock.
15:52Anyway, that's the sort of thing that can happen on stage.
15:56That was...
15:57That was wrapped.
15:57Lovely.
16:03Good fun, John.
16:05Lovely stories.
16:06Now, 39 plays 24.
16:08Robin the lead.
16:09And it's Tom's letters game.
16:10Yes, Tom.

18:46And a six.
18:48What's that six of yours, Tom?
18:49Unites.
18:50And, Rob?
18:51On wisest.
18:52That is brilliant, I have to say.
18:54We didn't see that one.
18:56Just have to check to see...
18:58Ooh.
18:59It's not specified.
19:03Unwise is there, but it's got more than single syllables,
19:05so the comparative superlative have to be specified
19:08for me to be able to allow it.
19:10So I feel very mean doing this, but I have to say no.
19:12I'm sorry, Rob.
19:13OK.
19:13That's very bad luck.
19:14Yeah.
19:15Very bad luck.
19:16And?
19:17There's a seven there, Westies.
19:19Not the dogs, they've got a capital W,
19:22but these are, in Australian slang,
19:24people from the western suburb of a city,
19:26so they're normally seen as being sort of the peasants,
19:29if you like, the outcasts,
19:30so a bit of a derogatory term.
19:32And there's another word that you may not like, Nick,
19:34but it is there for eight.
19:36Newsiest.
19:37Yeah, I'm not too bothered about that.
19:38OK, good.
19:39Newsiest.
19:39No, that's right.
19:40So, 47, please.
19:4230.
19:43And now, Tom, it's your numbers game.
19:46One from the top.

20:55Yeah.
20:57Then take 3 times 2.

21:10We throw yourselves,
21:11we throw ourselves indeed,
21:13at your feet, Rachel.
21:15971.
21:15I think you might kick yourselves.
21:17If you say 100 minus 3 is 97,
21:21times it by 10 for 970,
21:24and then you have your pick 3 minus 2 is 1.
21:28Oh, well done.
21:29Perfect.
21:31Well done, Rachel.
21:33Perfect.
21:34As ever.

25:12Well done. Increases your lead now, too.
25:1561 plays 37.
25:16And we look to John, who's busy writing something down.
25:20Any good?
25:22No, I think I've marked this one out as sidearm.
25:25Mm-hm. Yeah.
25:26Yep, sidearm. Pistol.
25:27Mm. Yep, that's a good seven.
25:30A couple more sevens.
25:31Myriads and Admires.
25:34And also Mardy, is there? I like the word Mardy.
25:36Such a Mardy. 61 plays 37.
25:41And, Susie, it's time for your origins of words.
25:45Well, I'm going to tell a story that draws an unlikely link
25:48between Gotham City, the Batman movies, and ladies' underwear.
25:54It goes back, believe it or not, to a sleepy little village
25:57in Nottinghamshire, which goes by the name of Gotham.
26:01And in the medieval period, the people of Gotham,
26:04they got a bit of a reputation for being very, very foolish.
26:08But it may all have been a slightly subtle ruse,
26:10because at the time, King John, who was the villain
26:12in all the Robin Hood stories, wanted to build a public highway
26:16through the village of Gotham, and this didn't go down very well
26:18with the villagers.
26:19So they may have wanted to feign madness,
26:21because at this time, madness was thought to be highly contagious.
26:25So, clearly, if they were thought to be mad,
26:28then King John would not want to go anywhere near them,
26:30and the ruse worked, didn't go through,
26:32and it remained a slightly sleepy village.
26:34If you go forward a few centuries from that time,
26:38and you'll find somebody called Washington Irving.
26:41And Washington Irving was living in New York,
26:43and he worked on a satirical magazine,
26:44which is called Salma Gundy.
26:46And in one of the issues, he referred to New York as Gotham,
26:51and he spelt it the same way as Gotham.
26:52And he knew his history clearly,
26:55because he was implying that actually anyone who wanted to live in New York
26:59must be just slightly foolish and a little bit mad.
27:02It was picked up, it seems, in the 1930s
27:06by the creators of Batman,
27:10who remembered the satirical magazine
27:11and thought it was the perfect name for New York City.
27:14Whether or not they knew the foolish connotations or not, who knows?
27:17Anyway, to finish off with the ladies' underwear,
27:19Washington Irving was also, through his character Dietrich Knickerbocker,
27:23the one who gave us Knickerbockers,
27:25because from the characters, the Dutch settlers of New York
27:28wore these particular trousers.
27:30Knickerbocker, many, many centuries later,
27:32was then shortened to knickers.
27:34So Gotham in Batman has, yes,
27:37some very tenuous link with a pair of ladies' knickers.
27:41But I like the story.
27:43Well done.
27:45Lovely.
27:50Brilliant.
