00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio, the arena, the best arena in the world for words and numbers.
00:39But what about quizzes? Well, there's a tremendous quiz going on tonight down in London.
00:43It's to raise money for cancer charities and it's called the Bobby Moore Fund Sports Quiz.
00:49And it's down in the city and it's been hosted, Rachel, by your old mate, Jeff Stelling, who sat in
00:55this chair before me.
00:55What a wonderful presenter he was. And of course, Dan Walker, who so frequently sits over there next to Susie.
01:03Quiz, I love quizzes. I watch them on television all the time. Would I be any good? No.
01:09Popular culture, nothing. Football, no. And so it goes on. But you are pretty hot on quizzes.
01:16Mastermind, I hear, was a bit of a success.
01:18Oh, I've won a few, actually. I didn't win Mastermind, but I won the million pound drop and the chase
01:23as part of teams.
01:23It's always about the team collaboration. So I think I've won in the region of 150 grand or a bit
01:28more maybe for charities.
01:29Oh, good for you. And it's normally my favourite charity, Angus Lawson Memorial Trust.
01:33Excellent.
01:33It's quite nerve-wracking, though. Mastermind was the scariest with that actual beating drum. That's terrifying.
01:39I mean, the contestants talk about this clock, but the Mastermind chair, that's something else.
01:43Brilliant stuff. Good fun.
01:44Well done. Well, let's hope that Bobby Moore Fund Sports Quiz raises a shed load of money down in the
01:51city tonight.
01:51And well done, Jeff Stelling and Dan Walker.
01:53And over here we have two competitors. We've got an excellent competitor in James Riddle, a support worker from Glasgow,
02:01who's racked up five wins. Fantastic.
02:04Well done. Well done, James.
02:06You've been confronted, or you are now about to be confronted, by William Thompson, health and safety manager from Kilmarnock.
02:14Welcome.
02:15Welcome.
02:16Former tank commander in the British Army and has had operational tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
02:22Afghanistan. And you were in... What sort of tank did you have?
02:24It was a Challenger 2 tank.
02:26Is that a big, modern tank?
02:27It's the main battle tank of the British Army, yeah.
02:29It's the newest one.
02:30Are you the bloke that sits up the top with his head out of the tariff?
02:33I was, yeah.
02:33With big earphones on?
02:34Yep.
02:35Saying tally-ho.
02:36That's exactly the one.
02:38Brilliant stuff. Well, listen, you're both very welcome. Good luck to you both.
02:42And let's have a big round of applause then for James and William.
02:49Fantastic.
02:49Fantastic. Susie's over in the corner. Of course she is.
02:52And it's always just such a pleasure to welcome back businesswoman, TV personality, and my mate, the wonderful Margaret Manford.
03:00Welcome back, Margaret.
03:01Thank you very much. Lovely to be here.
03:07Such a pleasure. More from Margaret later.

06:11Well, I got vault men, but Susie won't let me have it,
06:14but I think men who work in vaults are called vault men.
06:16You won't let her have it?
06:18No, I'm being very mean.
06:20Sorry, Margaret.
06:21There is a seven there, Nick.
06:23A mantlet, M-A-N-T-L-E-T.
06:25It's a woman's short, loose, sleeveless cloak or shawl,
06:28or it can be a bulletproof screen on a military vehicle.
06:31I don't know if you came across that, William, but it's a mantlet.
06:34Is that right?
06:35Yes.
06:35In front of you, on the tank.
06:37Just the top of the gun.
06:38Is that right?
06:39Yeah.
06:39Amazing.

07:57Lovely.
07:58Well done.
07:59Well done, William.
08:0013 to 12 now.
08:01One point ahead.
08:03But let's pause for a second and hear what Rachel's got to say.
08:065-0-6?
08:07Yes, it was there.
08:09If you say 10 minus 3 is 7.
08:1175 minus 2 is 73.
08:14Times them together for 511 and take away the 5.
08:185-0-6.
08:19Fantastic.
08:19Well done.
08:21Thank you, Rachel.
08:23So one point in it, and William's ahead as we turn to our first tea time teaser,
08:28which is Sudan fire and the clue.
08:30We went out to collect money for a very worthy cause.
08:34We went out to collect money for a very worthy cause.
08:53Welcome back.
08:54I left with a clue.
08:55We went out to collect money for a very worthy cause.
08:59We went out to fundraise, actually.
09:03Fundraise.
09:03So, 12 for James.
09:06William on 13.

09:58A.
09:58A.
10:09A.
10:11A.
10:11A.
10:12William, just a five.
10:14A five, James?
10:15Seven.
10:16And a seven.
10:17William, radio.
10:19And royalty.
10:21Royalty.
10:22Very nice.
10:23Very neat.
10:24Yep.
10:25And what about the corner?
10:26Margaret, Susie?
10:27Well, I only had groat.
10:30Just a little groat?
10:31Just a little groat.
10:34And Susie?
10:36Well, I have to disallow royalty, having thought that was great,
10:39because actually you need two Ys and we've only got one.
10:42So, easily done, I missed that too.
10:44But there is, there was a six adroit, skilful.
10:47Yes.
10:48But you can make that into an adverb and have adroitly,
10:50as in he managed the situation very adroitly.
10:53Indeed.
10:54Go ahead.
10:57So, William on 18, James on 12,
10:59and it's James' letters game.
11:01Yes, James.
11:02I'll start by a vowel, please, Rachel.
11:04Thank you, James.
11:04I.
11:06And another.

11:11Another consonant.
11:13S.
11:14A vowel.
11:16U.
11:18And another vowel.

11:23And another consonant.
11:25W.
11:27And a consonant.
11:29And the last one.

12:06And William? Just a six.
12:07And that's six.
12:08Trees. Yes.
12:12Earwigs. Earwigs.
12:13Earwigs.
12:14What have we got in there?
12:16I heard nothing.
12:18Uprays, and that will give you a seven.
12:20And gawpers as well, people who gawp.
12:22That would be gawpers for seven.
12:24Gawpers, thank you.
12:25So, James is back in the lead, 19 to 18.
12:29And it's William's numbers game.
12:32Yes, William?
12:32I have one large and five small, please, Rachel.
12:35You can, indeed. Thank you, William.
12:37Again, one from the top five, a little.
12:38And this time, your numbers are nine, seven, four, six, three.
12:45And the large one, 100.
12:48And the target, 763.
12:51763.
13:23Yes, William?
13:247, 6, 3.
13:26And James?
13:277, 6, 3.
13:27So, William.
13:297 times 100.
13:307 times 100, 700.
13:33And 9 times 6 is 63.
13:359 times 6 is 54.
13:37Sorry.
13:397 times 9, sorry.
13:40You've used your 7.
13:43Yeah.
13:44Yeah.
13:45Sorry, William.
13:46Oh, dear.
13:46James.
13:47James?
13:47100 plus 9.
13:49There we go.
13:49109.
13:50109.
13:50And that times 7.
13:51Perfect.
13:52Well done.
13:53Well done.
13:54Well done.
14:08Well done.
14:09I talk about the giant's causeway and the legend of Finn McCool.
14:12Because I went to the causeway in July.
14:14Lovely, sunny weather.
14:17And I don't know if some people haven't been there.
14:19It's an amazing structure created by a volcanic eruption about 50 million years ago.
14:25There's these hexagonal basalt columns.
14:27And it's so regular, because they're man-made.
14:29And you get the same structure on the Scottish island of Staffa.
14:34And the legend, of course, which explains how the causeway came about, is that the Irish giant Finn McCool wanted
14:41to fight the Scottish giant Ben and Donner.
14:43And he built a causeway to get across to Scotland to fight him.
14:47But as he started off shouting at Ben and Donner, come out and fight, he realised that Ben and Donner
14:51was an awful lot bigger than he'd expected.
14:53So he ran back to his wife and said, what shall I do?
14:56And she said, dress up as a baby and get into bed.
14:59So he did.
14:59Ben and Donner comes thumping on the door and the wife, Una, says, come in, Finn's out, but do take
15:05a seat and have this griddle cake I've baked for Finn's tea.
15:09So he takes a mouthful of this and she's put the iron griddle inside it.
15:12So he breaks his teeth and he thinks, gosh, Finn must be pretty tough if he can eat this.
15:16And she says, I'm sorry you've got to wait, but just come and have a look at the baby.
15:19So he goes and has a look at the baby.
15:21And he says, if the baby's this size, what on earth size is the father going to be?
15:25So he runs back to Scotland, tearing up the causeway behind him, which is why it's disappeared.
15:30And Finn, I won't say like the Irish, but Finn, brave now the danger has passed, gets out of bed
15:37and picks up a clod of earth and throws it off to Ben and Donner.
15:40And where it lands, it becomes the Isle of Man and the hole it made is Loch Ney, which is
15:44the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles.
15:47So, and legends always are created to explain facts, aren't they?
15:54And I think this one explains the causeway in the Isle of Man and Loch Ney.
15:58But it also possibly goes to explain that women are cleverer than men.
16:05So what do you think?
16:07I have no doubt about it whatsoever.
16:09I've long subscribed to that theory.
16:11It's brilliant stuff.
16:12Tell me this, Margaret.
16:13I've never been to the giant's causeway.
16:15I'll take you.
16:16Please do, because I want to see whether the little article I read recently, a lot of people, particularly Americans,
16:24are complaining that the giant's causeway isn't as big as they're led to believe in the brochures.
16:30Is it huge?
16:31It's, it's, no, it's not.
16:34I mean, the tallest columns are 12 metres high or something.
16:36So to an American, that's probably quite short, isn't it?
16:40It is the existence of the formation and the regularity that's amazing.
16:45But if they're expecting something that's, you know, the size of the Great Pyramid, then they're going to be mistaken.
16:50I think so.
16:51I think the tourism office has been sort of blowing up the pictures a bit.
16:55Thank you so much.
17:01Lovely stories.
17:02Lovely stories.
17:0318 plays 29.
17:04James on 29.
17:06And it's James's letters game now.
17:08Yes, sir.
17:09Start with a vote, please, Rachel.
17:11Thank you, James.
17:12Oh.
17:12And another.
17:14E.
17:15And another, please.
17:17A.
17:18A consonant.
17:20L.
17:21Another consonant.
17:23D.
17:24And another.
17:25C.
17:27Another vowel.
17:29I.
17:31And a consonant.
17:33T.
17:34And a consonant.
17:35And lastly, B.
17:38Stand by.
17:39T.
17:40T.
18:10Well, James, I'll stick with a safe seven.
18:13A seven, William. Seven.
18:14Two sevens. Yes, James.
18:16Located.
18:17And William.
18:18Bloated.
18:21Happy enough, Susie?
18:22Yep, very happy.
18:23Now, what have the combined brains in the corner produced for us, I wonder?
18:29Well, I had bloated as well, so...
18:32Bloated?
18:32Bloated.
18:34Yep, a couple more sevens, dialect and citadel,
18:38anagrams for each other, and a last-minute eight as well.
18:42To co-alight means pretty much the same as coalesce,
18:45to combine, unite or merge,
18:47and it's there as a verb, so you can have co-alighted.
18:49Co-alighted.
18:50APPLAUSE
18:53So, 36 plays 25.
18:56William, your letters game.
18:59Consonant, please, Rachel.
19:00Thank you, William.
19:02S.
19:02And another.
19:04F.
19:06And another.
19:08C.
19:09And a vowel.
19:11O.
19:11And another vowel.
19:14A.
19:16And a consonant.
19:18H.
19:20And another vowel.
19:22E.
19:23And a consonant.
19:25T.
19:26And a last consonant, please.
19:28And lastly, L.
19:31Stand by.
19:32We'll see you next time.
19:34We'll see you next time.
19:35We'll see you next time.
19:36We'll see you next time.
19:40We'll see you next time.

19:57We'll see you next time.
20:02William?
20:04Safe six.
20:05James? Seven.
20:08William? Floats?
20:10James? Locates?
20:12There again.
20:14Yep. Very good.
20:15And Margaret? Susie?
20:17Nothing longer? No.
20:20Just more sevens from us.
20:21Satchel, clothes and loads.
20:24Well done.
20:25Thank you. 43 to 25.
20:27James?
20:29Your numbers game now.
20:31That's right. Two large and four small this time, please, Rachel.
20:34Thank you, James. Why not? Two from the top to mix it up in four little.
20:38And these four little ones are six, two, three and four.
20:43And the big ones, 50 and 25.
20:46And the target, 610.
20:48Six, one, zero.
21:20Well, James, 612.
21:22Six, one, two.
21:24William?
21:25608.
21:27Six, zero, eight.
21:28Let's start with James then, shall we?
21:30Six times two, 12.
21:32Six, two is a 12.
21:33Times 50.
21:34600.
21:35Then four times three.
21:36Add it on.
21:37Yep.
21:37Two above.
21:38And William?
21:40Four times three is 12.
21:42Yep.
21:43Times 50 is 600.
21:44It is indeed.
21:45Six plus two is eight.
21:47Add it on.
21:47And two the other way.
21:49There we go.
21:50610, Rachel?
21:51Yep.
21:52If you split this multiplication, say 50 times six is 300.
21:57Add three for 303.
22:00Then times by two for 606.
22:02And you can add the four on for 610.
22:04All right.
22:04Well done.
22:07Perfect as ever.
22:09Perfect as ever.
22:1050 plays 32 as we turn to our tea time teaser, which is greets his.
22:16And the clue, he greets his tour guide and gets ready for a day around the city.
22:20He greets his tour guide and gets ready for a day around the city.
22:40Welcome back.
22:41I left with the clue.
22:43He greets his tour guide and gets ready for a day around the city because he is a sightseer.

26:06had odors for
26:07six well done thank you 61 plays 37 and we're back with Susie for her wonderful origins of words now
26:17let's sit back and enjoy this Susie uh well with we are with Tom Adams who emailed in and said
26:24why
26:24is a boyish girl called a tomboy uh in other words is there any reason why Tom is the name
26:30used to
26:31ascribe to masculine qualities if you like um and you find it in Tom Cat as well so he was
26:36wondering
26:36about that um so I looked in the Oxford English Dictionary and the first mention of tomboy is from a
26:41comedy
26:42uh performed in 1556 so we're going back a long way uh and the quotation is is your all your
26:48delight
26:48and joy in whisking and ramping abroad like a tomboy uh but there were no girls uh in the offering
26:55here
26:55this was uh said to a boy so the tomboy was in fact male rather than female and that's because
27:00the
27:00original meaning of the word was of a rude boisterous boy or a rapscallion or indeed a waghalter a waghalter
27:07was
27:07a mischievous joker so mischievous that in the grim humor of the times he was thought to be fit for
27:13the gallows and that's actually where we get wagged today for a comedian um going back to tomboy
27:18within a few decades it had flipped gender and it had taken on the meaning of a female who behaves
27:24like that spirited boy defined in the dictionaries a wild romping girl um gender switches or gender
27:30fluidity like these are not uncommon at all in the history of English so uh you will find for example
27:34the first harlot was a man uh the first meaning of punk was a promiscuous woman of course nowadays it
27:42can be um either either sex a punk a punk rocker um and even girl could apply to both sexes
27:48when it
27:49first came around so it's quite common in English to find these sort of flips but the tom part of
27:53the
27:53equation i think that is what tom adams actually was wondering about and you will find that in tom cat
27:58tom foolery tom dick and harry and that's because the name is simply used as a generic label for the
28:04common man if you like the man of the people it wasn't just tom jack was also used in this
28:09way
28:09if you think about jack of all trades or a lumberjack and the idea is that they were the ordinary
28:13man and
28:14just used as i say as a generic name but quite why we have tomboy and not tom girl is
28:20always a bit of
28:21a mystery and anyway we might want to forget the whole idea of tom boys these days because girls can
28:26do anything as we know
28:31of course the british soldier was always i guess in the first world war more than the second was tommy
28:36tommy atkins yeah tommy tommy atkins yeah 61 plays 37 james on 61 william let us go
