00:31Hello, everybody. It's Thursday afternoon.
00:33Whether your day has been easy or an absolute schlep so far,
00:36you have arrived in the right place at the right time
00:39because Countdown is always a good idea.
00:42Hello, Rachel Riley.
00:43I've no idea what you're talking about.
00:45Well, New York is always a great idea.
00:48I'm taking you to Sex and the City,
00:50which premiered on this day in 1998.
00:53Let me not bore you by reaming off all the things.
00:56It's one and how many great series,
00:58because we know it was a phenomenon.
01:00But I want to ask you about this.
01:01And just like that, which was the name of the revival, the reboot,
01:06it got mixed reviews at best, yet it's still going.
01:09It got recommissioned, and actually the ratings are great.
01:11So is this a case of the critics getting it wrong?
01:14Well, I love Sex and the City.
01:15I watched it growing up, and it was, you know,
01:17it was time and a place.
01:18It was brilliant.
01:19And I think just like that,
01:21it's possibly the worst reboot of anything ever made
01:24in the history of television.
01:25It was the worst programme to come out of the television,
01:28which is crazy, because I can think of six more I've made alone.
01:31But there you go.
01:32Well, listen, do you know a show's huge, right,
01:34when you can go online that tells you which character you're most like?
01:37So of the four girls, right, that's all it is, right?
01:41We are clearly, like, there's no other characters we could be.
01:44You are a Carrie.
01:46I've got a large shoe collection, if that's what you're trying to say.
01:48That's definitely part of it.
01:49That is definitely part of it.
01:50I'm afraid I think I'm a Samantha,
01:52and that's what the test said when I was online.
01:54It said you are 100% living your Samantha life.
01:57So that's me.
01:59Do you agree, then, Susie, there's two left,
02:01so Susie is Charlotte, right?
02:03She's definitely Charlotte.
02:04She's more a Charlotte than we're a Carrie or Samantha.
02:06I would agree with that.
02:07So that means, in Dictionary Corner,
02:10joining Susie Dent all this week,
02:11let me introduce to you Miranda.
02:14Sorry, Chris and Guru Murthy, that's the only one left.
02:16Are you all right with Miranda?
02:17I like Miranda, so, yeah, that's fine.
02:19Right, love it.
02:19There you go.
02:20We've all got our Sex and the City characters,
02:22which I didn't think was going to happen today.
02:24Let's get to our two central characters of the programme,
02:26our champion and challenger.
02:28Peter Young has won three really eventful episodes so far.
02:33He's from the Isle of Wight.
02:34He loves his music.
02:35He loves his food.
02:37Best of luck to you today.
02:38You're going for four in a row.
02:39You're up against the beautifully named Lainey Kaleido,
02:43who lives in Surrey, originally from London.
02:46Now, there's a story behind this name, Lainey,
02:49and I love it.
02:50Tell us it.
02:51Well, I'm a big indie fan.
02:54I'm a musician and I'm into indie music,
02:56and I've been a lifelong fan of the band Ride.
03:00Yes.
03:00And I chose a track by Ride called Kaleidoscope,
03:04which I loved, I still love,
03:06and just decided to chop the scope off the end
03:08and be Lainey Kaleido.
03:10And for years, I had to sort of explain
03:12it's a band that used to exist,
03:14and then they got back together.
03:15What a beautiful, technicoloured name to choose for yourself.
03:19Says a lot about you.
03:20That's brilliant.
03:21So, Lainey, let's see how you get on today.
03:23Good luck to you against Peter.
03:24Let's do it.
03:26OK, our champion rides again.
03:29Let's have some letters.
03:30Hello, Rachel.
03:32Hi, Peter.
03:32Vowel, I think.
03:34Start today with E.
03:36Another vowel.
03:37A.
03:39Consonant.
03:41M.
03:42Vowel.
03:44E.
03:45Consonant.
03:47R.
03:48Consonant.
03:49T.
03:51Consonant.
03:52P.
03:55Consonant.
03:56R.
03:57And a final vowel, please.
03:59And a final I.
04:01At home and in the studio, let's all play Countdown.
04:35Peter?
04:36Eight.
04:37And Lainey, how many?
04:38Seven.
04:39Aw, what could start and it's not even going to score?
04:41We don't think.
04:42We don't think.
04:42What's the seven?
04:44Erm, I'll go with meteor.
04:46Meteor.
04:46So, some seven's written down, not just one, but the eight?
04:50Imparter.
04:51Imparter.
04:51Someone who imparts knowledge, for example, Susie?
04:55Not there, I'm afraid.
04:57They are always risky, these agent nouns,
05:00and that's not one that's in there, I'm sorry.
05:03So, meteor counts.
05:05What can you add to that?
05:07Well, there is an eight, which is sort of along the same lines
05:10of adding er to the end of a nice word.
05:14Tamperer.
05:14Yeah, some of you tampers.
05:16So, that's there for eight and emptier for seven.
05:18Good.
05:18Excellent, excellent stuff.
05:20Right, let's see what happens in round two.
05:22Lainey, what are you going to do?
05:23Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
05:24Thank you, Lainey.
05:25Start with G.
05:27And another...
05:31S.
05:33A vowel.
05:35A.
05:37Another vowel.
05:38O.

06:32Well done. What have you got, Lainey? Sanding.
06:35Will it be a different word of the same? Agnosia.
06:38Agnosia. Susie? Yeah, that is very good.
06:40So, you know, anosmia is lacking a sense of smell.
06:44Agnosia is actually lacking the ability to interpret sensations
06:47and then to recognise things as a result.
06:50That's a beautiful word to find. That is wonderful.
06:52What did you see, Krish?
06:55Only another seven. Adagios.
06:57Adagios, lovely word to see. It is 14-7.
07:01It is the first numbers round of the day and it is Peter.

13:01And, Lainey, you're choosing.
13:02Let's go three large, three small.
13:05Why not?
13:05This is one of the more challenging selections often.
13:08Let's see what we have this time.
13:10Three little ones are eight, five and six.
13:13And then the big three, 100, 75 and 50.

13:20Three, six, seven.
13:21Numbers up.
13:22So I'm over.

13:56Lainey?
13:57I think I've got 3-6-7.
13:59Think. Thanks, Peter.
14:003-6-7.
14:01Let's turn that think to a no. Let's hear it.
14:036 times 50.
14:056 times 50. 300.
14:07Plus 75.
14:083-7-5.
14:09Minus the eight.
14:11Without any need to question yourself, yeah.
14:133-6-7.
14:14Well done. Peter, same way.
14:15Nope.
14:16Rally houses.
14:17Because it's me. 100 times 5.
14:19Of course.
14:20Took away the other two big ones.
14:21Times 5.
14:23500.
14:24Took away the other two big ones.
14:2675 for 50.
14:27And then took away the eight off them.
14:27Yeah, same result. Well done.
14:30APPLAUSE
14:32Not a surprise. Not a surprise at all.
14:34Listen, this series has been something else for Dictionary Corner debutants,
14:38and having Christian and Guru Murthy in Dictionary Corner this week
14:41has been a real treat.
14:42But I'm running out of room,
14:44and there's so much that I want to talk to you about,
14:46that are away from broadcasting,
14:49away from being a news journalist and presenter.
14:51I think we'll do music today,
14:53because we have two musicians here,
14:55and I can play Teenage Kicks in the Yugo-Laylee,
14:57so technically three musicians here.
15:00And you have such a love of music.
15:02Take me inside that.
15:03And he's also in a band. Have a listen to this.
15:05Well, I mean, I've always loved music,
15:07and I've always sort of taken out my frustrations on a guitar or a keyboard.
15:13You know, since I was a teenager.
15:14That was the way to kind of express yourself.
15:17And I...
15:18When I got my house, my sort of family house,
15:21I decided to... My study would become the music room,
15:24and we just sort of filled it with musical instruments,
15:25and got the kids to just go in there and try stuff,
15:28and pick things up and teach themselves stuff.
15:31And so, yeah, now my life is full of guitars and keyboards and nonsense,
15:36and I play a little bit with other people,
15:38but to be honest, now I kind of live vicariously through my kids.
15:41And my daughter, who's a student, is a brilliant singer,
15:44and my son's a brilliant guitarist.
15:47And he plays in bands and festivals and all sorts now.
15:50Yeah, but you have to tell me more.
15:52Right, Krishnan, you go into that room.
15:54What are you playing when you're there on your own?
15:57I'm kind of moody, but now, to be honest, it's mostly guitars.
15:59And I just pick up guitars and kind of sort of jangle around,
16:02and used to play a lot of sort of indie nonsense
16:06or a bit of teenage kicks.
16:08But now, really, because of my 16-year-old,
16:10who's got massively into blues guitar,
16:12I've been listening to a lot of blues,
16:13and I'm trying to learn a little bit of blues through him.
16:16So, and it's quite hard, and you really need to put in the time.
16:21But that's where the fun is.
16:23And the proper old-school stuff?
16:24The Muddy Waters, the B.B. Kings, the going right back...
16:27Steve Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, you know,
16:29all that kind of stuff.
16:30Fantastic. Wonderful. Thank you. Cheers, mate.
16:33APPLAUSE
16:36What do you reckon, Lainey?
16:37We could form a band, I think, in the studio today, couldn't we?
16:40Yeah, let's do it.
16:41Yeah, I don't think there's much need for the ukulele,
16:43but I don't mind. I could be the roadie.
16:45I'll do that. I'll set all the equipment up.
16:48Right, let's focus back in on the programme today.
16:51We have no idea whether we're going to finish with a leading man
16:53or a leading lady, we'll find out.
16:56More letters, please, now from you, Peter.
16:57A consonant, please.
16:59Thank you, Peter.

18:05Peter? Seeping. And Lainey? Pausing. OK, over to Dictionary Corner.
18:09You happy with those? Very happy with both. Good stuff.
18:12And Krishna? We can't beat them, I'm afraid. We also have pausing and guineas.
18:17Yeah. Yeah. That's her lot. That's it. That'll do.
18:20That's on the money. We'll get on with it. Lainey, straightforward round.
18:24Let's see if it's another one. OK, consonant, please, Rachel.
18:27Thank you, Lainey. S. And another. M. Another one. T. And another. L.

18:56And start the clock.
18:57And start the clock.
18:57And start the clock.
19:28Lainey? Eight. What a spot that is, Peter. Eight. Eight as well. OK, Lainey?
19:33Mealy-est. Mealy-est. Same. OK.
19:38There you go. Mealy-est, Suzie. Just give us the definition of that for everyone at home.
19:42Well, it can be very literal, so pudding can be mealy if it contains lots of meal.
19:46But if someone's complexion is a little bit pale, it can also be a bit mealy.
19:51Yeah, used like that. Yeah.
19:54Surely, surely, Krishnan, you've got nothing for me.
19:56OK, no, no. Emili-est is as good as it gets, I think.
20:00Not surprising. Not surprising. Right, 64, 39. Let's go back to the numbers.
20:05And, Peter, we're going to need six.
20:07Two large, please.
20:08Thank you, Peter. Two from the top. And four not.
20:11And this time around, the selection is five, ten, nine, ten, 25 and 50.
20:21And the target you need to reach, oh, no, 750.
20:26Seven, five, zero. 30 seconds for that.
21:007-5-0, let's just confirm it all. Peter?
21:037-5-0.
21:04Yes, and Lainey?
21:057-5-0.
21:06Yeah, let's get it over with.
21:06Peter?
21:0710 plus 5 times 50.
21:09Yep, no need to be even in this world to solve that one.
21:12Yeah, Lainey?
21:12I did 50 plus 25 times 10.
21:15Lovely.
21:16Excellent.
21:1774 plays 49.
21:18Let's get you into our last commercial break of the day with this Tea Time teaser, Lawn Feud.
21:24Lawn Feud.
21:25Just in time for Wimbledon, this one.
21:27Everything about her was simply perfect.
21:30Everything about her was simply perfect.
21:47Hello again.
21:48Everything about her was simply perfect.
21:51Lawn Feud becomes un-flawed.
21:53Un-flawed.
21:55OK.
21:56No such thing as a flawless countdown performance.
21:5974 plays 49.
22:0125 points.
22:02The difference is still close enough to keep it interesting.
22:05And, Lainey, you're on the letters.

22:28W.
22:31And a vowel, please.
22:33O.
22:34Oh, and a consonant, please.
22:37And the last one?
22:37B.
22:39And good luck, everybody.

23:13Six for you. And Peter? Seven.
23:16Seven. The six is? Vision.
23:18And your seven? Bovines.
23:20Yes! Holy cow! Well spotted.
23:25That's a seven with bovines.
23:27Absolutely. Any animal of the cattle group.
23:30Krishnan, how did you get on in that round?
23:32Bovines is as good as we've done as well.
23:34This is a superb performance. 81 plays 49 with five rounds left to go.

24:13OK, kind down.
24:14So, this is going to be right a ride.
24:15Let's start with this.
24:19So take a ride, we'll be right back.
24:26Bye-bye.
24:29Bye-bye.
24:30Bye-bye.
24:31Bye-bye.

24:44How many, Peter?
24:46Eight.
24:46An eight.
24:47And Lainey?
24:49Seven.
24:49A seven.
24:50What's the seven?
24:51I'm not sure if it's a word.
24:53Tenard.
24:54Tenard.
24:54T-N-O-R-E-D.
24:56OK.
24:56And what's the eight, Peter?
24:58Retinoid.
24:59Retinoid.
25:00Well, we're going to have to have adjudication on both of those, Susie.
25:03We are.
25:03There's no tenard, I'm afraid, Lainey.
25:06I'm really sorry about that.
25:07And retinoid, you need two eyes, which we don't have.
25:10Right, there you go.
25:11It's all yours, Krish.
25:12Whatever you say, Kynes.
25:13Well, there were a few.
25:14I mean, the first one we got, which is an eight-letter word, was trendier.
25:18Oh, yes.
25:18Krish has been very modisex.
25:20He got that within two seconds.
25:21Yeah.
25:22Yeah.
25:22You could have also had oriented.
25:24Yeah.
25:25Or this might be your favourite, nerdier.
25:28I'd rather be trendier.
25:31Krishnen, come on.
25:32Why not trendier instead of nerdier?
25:34You're right.
25:35You're right.
25:36Right, the scores stay exactly as they are.
25:38Four rounds still to play.
25:39And Susie, Origins Awards for this Thursday afternoon.
25:42Well, I'm very glad that we sneaked nerdier in there,
25:44because actually I'm touching on nerds today,
25:46because I am totally happy to be a nerd and a geek in the sports and all of those.
25:51And the various words we describe such people with,
25:55so those thought to have an extreme interest in knowledge
25:58or sort of to be, you know, slightly work-obsessed.
26:01I've had quite an interesting story over the years,
26:04and I've often spoken about the geek, which has come a very long way.
26:09So most of us these days are quite proud to be a geek, but not so.
26:12A few centuries ago, when they would perform at freak shows up and down the country
26:16and they were fools or simpletons,
26:19the word comes from the word gek in dialect, meaning just that,
26:22and they would perform incredibly extreme and quite horrible acts on stage,
26:27such as biting the heads off live snakes and that kind of thing.
26:30So that was the original geek.
26:32And then somebody so extreme and obsessive, it became applied to knowledge.
26:37And now, as I say, it's become suddenly very cool,
26:39which I think is a lovely thing.
26:41But I'm going to end with nerd.
26:43Where does nerd come from?
26:44And it's such a lovely word, but it's also a bit of a mystery.
26:48So it appeared quite early on in a story by Dr. Seuss called If I Ran the Zoo,
26:52and in it, a nerd is a really strange kind of animal.
26:55So it doesn't have any connection to the kind of slightly obsessive person
26:58we associate the word with today.
27:00There is another theory, which is that it belongs to the 20th century ventriloquist
27:07called Edgar Bergen, whose dummy was called Mortimer Snurd.
27:12So who knows?
27:13That one is still up for grabs and the detective work goes on.
27:17But, yeah, they've had a sort of journey which is sort of veering
27:21towards the positive, spectacularly so, when it comes to geek.
27:23And I think anybody who embraces knowledge in the way that all these people do
27:27is quite a cool person.
27:28Thank you, Susie.
27:31Well, we encourage nerling out with us here in Countdown,
27:34and there's a couple of different ways that you can do that.
27:37You can be part of our geek club.
27:38One, you can just come on the programme, which starts with a simple email.
27:42Or, secondly, you can have Susie nerd out over a word
27:45that you're unsure of the origins of words.
27:46And that is the same thing from the same email address,
27:49which is countdown at channel4.com.
27:51Use the number four there for those who are visually impaired.
27:54It's countdown at channel4.com.
27:56And we are open to everybody.
27:58So come on in.
27:59The water's warm, isn't it, Lainey?
28:01It's your first time here.
28:02Fun?
28:02Yes.
28:03Lots of fun.
28:04But even better if you put it off an epic comeback.
28:06So let's start with your letters.
28:08OK.
28:09Consonant, please.
28:10Thank you, Lainey.

29:22And the same word?
29:23Super.
29:23Well done.
29:24Two super sleuths.
29:26And over the dictionary corner,
29:27Christian, anything better?
29:29There is a seven.
29:30Luteus.
29:31An old word.
29:32It is a very old word.
29:34For an orange-yellow or greenish-yellow colour.
29:36And say it again.
29:38Luteus.
29:38L-U-T-E-O-U-S.
29:40Luteus.
29:40Yes.
29:41It sounds like some sort of Roman emperor or something, doesn't it?
29:44Doesn't it?
29:44Luteus Maximus.
29:45Luteus meant yellow in Latin.
29:47He-he!

31:03Mm, not just.
31:04That's very good.
31:04Don't you worry about that.
31:05What's the six?
31:06Steams.
31:07Steams.
31:08And for you, Peter?
31:09Massage.
31:10Massage.
31:10Very nice.
31:11You don't look to be sweating, so have you got something better?
31:14Not better, but similarly on seven, too much steam, you could blow your gaskets.
31:21Well found.
31:22Well found.
31:23All right, 94 plus 55.
31:25Two rounds to go, including these numbers, and Lainey, the pleasure's all yours.
31:31Let's go three large again.
31:33Three large.
31:34And three.
31:35Little one more, little mathematical challenge for the day.
31:38And the final numbers are eight, ten, three, one hundred, fifty and twenty-five.
31:44And your target, 952.
31:48952.
31:49Numbers up.
32:19Nine-five-two, Lainey.
32:21Nine-five-three.
32:22Yeah, one away, Peter.
32:24952.
32:25Bang on, let's hear it.
32:27Eight minus three is five.
32:29Eight minus three, five.
32:31A hundred minus five, 95.
32:34Yeah.
32:35Times the ten.
32:37950.
32:3850 over 25 is two, add it all.
32:40You're getting better as the week goes on.
32:44That is your best number so far.
32:46Your century is up.
32:47That deserves another round of applause.
32:49Well done.
32:49Well done.
32:51And listen, that is no shame in that score.
32:54A big 55 is a fantastic losing score from Lainey.
32:57And you can add ten more to it now.
32:59Let's get your finger on the buzzers.
33:01Peter, you get to play along as well.
33:03Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:31Lainey.
33:33Slow Finch.
33:34Slow Finch.
33:36Let's have a look.
33:37No, rest of the time to you, Peter.
33:44And time's up.
33:45No luck for Peter.
33:46What was it?
33:48Oh, a clown fish.
33:50We feel like clowns.
33:52The joke is on us.
33:54So nobody gets that very fun countdown conundrum.
33:57But Peter wins his fourth show.
33:59Lainey, let me tell you, that is a really good champion we have at the moment.
34:04So having you here has been music to our ears.
34:06So thank you very much.
34:07Thank you so much.
34:08I've had loads of fun.
34:09Krishna and Susie, see you tomorrow.
34:11See you then.
34:12Rachel, we're all done.
34:13Just like that.
34:14It's all over.
