00:31Hello everybody, Monday afternoon. Welcome back to Countdown for what is our last full week of Series 89.
00:38There's a decent chance we're going to add a ninth octo champ in this series alone with only eight returning
00:45for our end of season finale.
00:48Now, Rachel, let's get the dates right here because our first quarterfinals next Thursday, the Euros begins this Friday.
00:55That's terrible luck for them because what's going on here is going to overshadow that.
00:59Yeah, we're going to put a terrible dent in their ratings for sure.
01:02Watch out, some of those group games, you're going to be in trouble.
01:06Listen, I want to, in the spirit of our European neighbours, one of the favourites actually for these Euros, it's
01:13Portugal Day today.
01:15And I don't know what your view is in Portugal. It is genuinely one of my favourite places on earth.
01:20Have you had experiences of holidays in Portugal?
01:23I've had a lovely time in Lisbon.
01:25Ah, you know, you've hit the nail on the head because everyone thinks fly into Faro, head out to the
01:30Algarve, which is great.
01:31But Lisbon is stunning.
01:33The castle overlooking this wonderful city and the architecture of us to die for, Rach.
01:38I mean, whenever I travel, it's all about the food, so the pastels and nada.
01:41Just those lovely little custard tarts, they're so delicious.
01:45What more do you need? Adventure, architecture and custard tarts.
01:48Exactly.
01:50The happiness of life right there.
01:52But listen, let's head over to Dictionary Corner then.
01:54And as you know, Susie Dent just cannot wait for the Euros to begin.
01:59She'll be watching every...
02:00She won't shut up about Italy, Albania this morning.
02:03Italy, this, Albania, that.
02:04Such a stato when it comes to the football.
02:08Just you concentrate and count down, all right?
02:10All right.
02:10I will try, just for now.
02:12Well, alongside you this week, making her count down, Debbie, is someone who actually will be watching every group team.
02:18So will I.
02:19You'd be lucky if you watched two or three.
02:21I'm talking every game for the person beside you.
02:23Dead rubbers, not a problem.
02:25She'll take the day off work for those as well.
02:27Sports fanatic presenter, but of course we have an Olympic hockey gold medalist in the studio, Sam Quick.
02:33APPLAUSE
02:36It's not a lie as well.
02:37I see your social media feed.
02:39I don't think there's a football match you miss.
02:41No, I love it.
02:41Susie's coming to mind for the opening game.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Right, let's introduce our five-time champion, Peter Young.
02:48One of the most unpredictable countdowners in recent history.
02:53And could he be?
02:54Three more wins.
02:55Our ninth octo-champ of this series, which is unimaginable.
03:00How are you today?
03:01Semi-comfortable, I suppose.
03:03Well, it's more than you were last week with your five wins.
03:06Listen, we know you love the Isle of Wight.
03:07We know you love the food.
03:08We know you love your music.
03:10You're also a Scrabble fanatic.
03:12I would hate to meet you online playing Scrabble.
03:14You must be good.
03:16I'm not great.
03:17I've been playing a little while now.
03:19But it certainly improves your word count and vocabulary and everything.
03:22Peter, let's stick to countdown today.
03:25You're up against Martin Jasper, who lives near Cambridge, but the key is he's from Plymouth.
03:30And when you're from Plymouth, you always fly that flag very proudly.
03:34I love that part of the world.
03:35How are you today, Martin?
03:36Oh, good, thanks, Colin.
03:37Now, listen, on the subject of football.
03:39Mr Jasper, was that a game that goes down in football folklore?
03:43And I can't believe you were there.
03:44The year was 1973.
03:47And Santos, with Pelé, Carlos Alberto, and just so many great players, played against Argyle.
03:55You were there.
03:56And we won as well.
03:573-2.
03:58Yes.
03:59We were 3-0 up at half-time.
04:01And they came back.
04:02Pelé scored a penalty.
04:03But we held on.
04:05And 38,000 fans there.
04:07It was a day to remember, yeah.
04:09And we're on a tour.
04:11This great Brazilian side, we're on a tour.
04:14There's all sorts of, you know all the stories.
04:16It's about piles of £50 notes from the door money.
04:20Good luck, Martin.
04:21Good luck, Peter.
04:24OK, are you going to do it?
04:25Are you going to become an octo-champ one game at a time?
04:29Your letters, please, Peter.

05:49Brilliant. If you're a day animal, diurnal.
05:53All right, fantastic. Sam, not an easy first round.
05:56That seven was sensational. Do we have anything to add?
05:59Not bad. The way I wrote it down, I was thinking cannula,
06:02but then there was no C. But then we realised there was annula.
06:05Yes, ring shapes.
06:06It's tough. Here we go, more letters. Martin.
06:10Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Martin.

07:13Martin. Seven. Well done. Peter. Eight. Oh, look at that. Martin, what's the seven? Painter. Painter. And Peter? Petaline. Petaline,
07:22Susie. Petaline. It's an excellent eight. And it describes something which is related to the corolla of a flower. So
07:32it's kind of petal-shaped, essentially.
07:33We were one G away from the easiest nine-letter in Countdown history. Everyone would have got repeating. I thought
07:40it came out a G. Right, let's switch over to the numbers. Well, we never know what Peter's going to
07:46do. Do I just like to mix it up? Let's find out. One large and five small, please. Thank you,
07:49Peter. One from the top. And five little coming up. First one of the week is ten. Three. Two. Seven.

08:46seven points each. Peter.
08:48100 times three. 100 times three, 300.
08:53And then I did, uh, eight times seven.
08:56Eight times seven, 56.
09:00Use three twice.
09:01Oh, that's not going to work. That's only the start of your torture, by the way.
09:06Uh, Martin, for seven points.
09:08Um, 100 times eight over two.
09:12100. 400.
09:14Times eight over two, 400.
09:15That's seven, that's three.
09:16And seven and three, yeah, one away.
09:19Three, eight, nine, Rach.
09:20Well, I was busy for 30 seconds with the wrong numbers.
09:23But now we've got these numbers.
09:24You can say seven times two is 14.
09:28Take away ten for four.
09:29Times it by 100 for 400.
09:32And take away the eight and the three.
09:36APPLAUSE
09:38And let's get our first Tea Time teaser.
09:41Drops the.
09:41When someone drops the vase, it can become this hundreds of years later.
09:46When someone drops the vase, it can become this hundreds of years later.
09:59APPLAUSE
10:06Welcome back.
10:07When someone drops the vase, vase, vase, vase, I don't know which one it is,
10:11it can become this hundreds of years later.
10:13A lot to talk to Susie about.
10:15So the answer is potsherd.
10:16Or potsherd.
10:19Potsherd.
10:19Yes.
10:20I'm happy to stick with potsherd.
10:22OK.
10:22And you to correct me.
10:23Yes.
10:24Um, what's it mean?
10:24So the S belongs to the sherd because it's a riff on shard,
10:28and that will explain a little bit better.
10:30So it's a broken piece of pot, essentially, of ceramic material.
10:34Um, especially if you're doing an archaeological dig,
10:36you will find lots of potsherds.
10:38All right.

14:55Their first countdown of the week as we get our first chat with Sam Quick.
15:00As you know, it's not me just saying it because you're here.
15:03I'm not an after-timer in this.
15:05I love hockey.
15:06I genuinely think it's the most underrated Olympic sport.
15:10And it's the toughest.
15:11It is so tough.
15:13I remember.
15:14Wow.
15:14Honestly, because I know you're telling the truth.
15:16Because I remember before hockey was cool before we won the medal.
15:19I remember you were interviewing quite a lot of our players.
15:22And I remember you talking about it on 5 Live Sport.
15:26I remember two moments from London 2012, which was Kit Richardson whilst having her jaw wired up and playing two
15:34games later.
15:35Yeah, ridiculous.
15:36And I also remember a player's head being sliced open in a group game and a little lady ran out
15:42onto the pitch with a bottle of water, poured it, got the blood off the pitch.
15:46The player was back on 10 minutes later with staples in her head.
15:49One of those blue towels that you get, you know, you just get in school, just dab it up.
15:52Yeah.
15:52Off we go.
15:53Yeah.
15:53Yeah, hard as nails, Kate.
15:55Oh, we talk about golden generations.
15:59And that truly was.
16:01I mean, if that women's hockey team hadn't have picked up a goal, that would have been a feeling like,
16:06oh, my goodness, what a such a shame.
16:09Because at last, this team that could challenge the likes of the Netherlands.
16:12What was the whole Rio experience like?
16:14Oh, it was crazy.
16:15We had a tournament called the Champions Trophy about a month before and we came six and that's basically the
16:23top nine teams in the world at that time.
16:25So we came six.
16:26So everyone had written us off really for the Olympics thinking, you know, we're a month out.
16:30They're not even making a semifinal.
16:31Then there's no chance they're going to go and win a medal at the Olympics.
16:35And it was bizarre, actually, because we all knew we were selected for the Olympics, but publicly people didn't know.
16:40And we were quite chill and it was a different approach.
16:42It was very much player led.
16:44And then when we got to the Olympics, it was a case of, OK, let's have the first week getting
16:48to see the Olympic village, all the excitement, pick up all your freebies.
16:52Once that's out of your system, we set a date where we thought, OK, now we're here to do business.
16:57No outside distractions, no distractions from inside the village.
17:01And we just took one day at a time.
17:03And before we knew it, we were on an unbeaten run and we were about to face the Netherlands, the
17:08world number one in the final,
17:10who were on for their third consecutive Olympic gold medal in hockey.
17:15So, again, everyone was, you know, they've got no chance.
17:18But the stars aligned.
17:19It was a great match.
17:21Three all in normal time and then went to penalties and beat them.
17:25Brilliant.
17:25One of the truly great Olympic moments.
17:30Right, Peter, you're still going for gold.
17:32You've got your nose in front and it's your letters.
17:35Consonant, please.
17:37Thank you, Peter.
17:38Y.
17:39And another one.

19:04so game over for both of you.

20:22Excellent.
20:23Two eights, anything else?
20:25We just had one more eight, baritone.
20:27Beautiful.
20:28Still at 15 points, the difference being that case for a while.
20:32Peter, let's see if the third number's round changes that.
20:35One large and five to more.
20:37Thank you, Peter.
20:37OK, so one from the top and five not.

21:36There it is, well done.
21:38APPLAUSE
21:40And a nice second Tea Time teaser, given the Euro start this Friday.
21:45It's suede end, suede end.
21:48The plain brown loaf wasn't one of the tournament favourites.
21:53The plain brown loaf wasn't one of the tournament favourites.
22:15Because it was unseeded.
22:21It was unseeded.
22:22Right, 15 points still.
22:25And the underdog's making a right fit.
22:27You're hanging in there, Martin. Keep the faith. Let's get more letters.
22:31Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
22:34Thank you, Martin. R.

23:05E.
23:39Same again. Martin, what's the word?
23:42Chirrut. Yes, and what about you?
23:44Chirrut. Let's have a look.
23:45There you go. Look at that. Spirit of togetherness.
23:47Over the dictionary corner.
23:49Yes, we didn't see that one, actually. The cigar, the chirrut.
23:51Very good indeed. We had a different one.
23:54Yeah, watcher with an O.
23:55Yeah, which is the one for me.
23:57You know, the greeting.
23:58Began is what cheer.
24:00How are you back now?
24:00Oh, you mean kind of like the...
24:01I would say that's a bit of a Cockney thing, the old watcher.
24:04Yeah, watcher.
24:05How are you doing if you're saying hello?
24:07But anyway, you can spell it with the E-R and that will give you a seven.
24:09Goodness me. I wonder what you were on about there.
24:11Brilliant.
24:12Right, let's get more letters now.
24:14The pressure growing with every round here, Peter.

24:41And a final consonant.
24:44Final N.
24:46Let's play.
24:46Let's play.
25:16That's it.
25:17Time up, Peter.
25:18Eight.
25:19What a time to get an eight, Martin.
25:21Eight as well.
25:21And what a time to match it, Peter.
25:24Deficing.
25:24And Martin.
25:25There we go.
25:26He just won't go away.
25:28Our Mr. Jasper.
25:30Fantastic stuff.
25:31Right, to Dictionary Corner.
25:32One eight in the bag already.
25:34Sam, what can we add?
25:35That one, didn't you?
25:36Yeah, straight away.
25:37Yeah.
25:37And fancied.
25:39Nice fancied.
25:40Quite fancied, that.
25:41Yeah.
25:42Right, 15 points in at four rounds to go.
25:46Nice start to the countdown week.
25:48But Susie, what are you going to do with our origins of words?
25:51Well, I am going to take you to drinks that were thought to be medicinal and very good
25:58for you.
25:58And one word that comes up on Countdown a lot is moxie.
26:02There's only five letters, but it's a lovely one.
26:05And it is used to mean gumption or courage.
26:08But originally, for about a century, it was a soft drink that was particularly popular
26:13in New England, in the US.
26:16Apparently, it didn't taste great.
26:18So one critic described it as getting some really old beer, mixing it with a little battery
26:23acid, and you'll get the general idea.
26:25So not particularly nice.
26:26But it was actually a patented medicine, and it was thought to cure all sorts of ills.
26:33In other words, you know, if you were ailing from anything, take some moxin, it will make
26:38you feel better.
26:39And it was marketed as moxie nerve food.
26:42So it was thought, again, to be particularly calming.
26:45And it was hugely popular all over the US.
26:49But a Food and Drug Act that was passed in 1906 put an end to all these medicinal claims
26:55because they were found to be spurious at best.
26:58And from then on, it was sold as this soft drink.
27:02And then it slipped into the language to mean something that gives you courage and gives
27:06you sort of, as I say, a little bit of extra.
27:09So, yes, it's interesting that they have these histories where these claims were made for
27:13them that weren't always borne out, but people bought them in droves because they were good
27:17for the body.
27:18Brilliant.
27:20APPLAUSE
27:22Thank you very much, Susie.
27:24Peter Young, a five-time champion, hoping to make it six today.
27:28But Martin Jaspers seems to have been 15 points behind for so many rounds now.
27:33Once you've settled in, four rounds to go, Martin.
27:36If you can get it within ten, we'll have a crucial countdown.
27:38Conundrum, and it's your letters.
27:39Could I have a consonant, please?
27:41Thank you, Martin.
27:42M.
27:43And another consonant?

27:45And another place?

28:36Thanks again.

28:44Yes, and peter moodiest. Yes, we address is no we're moodiest and with the cue there, Sam

32:49109 for you which would be your highest score so far by one point if you can do it
32:54So let's reveal an almost crucial but not quite
32:57countdown conundrum
33:05Martin for the 94
33:07Halaquidden
33:08Let's have a look
33:09fantastic
33:11APPLAUSE
33:13you see the first thing you think before a single round's being played is I hope I don't get zero
33:19Yeah
33:19Then the second thing you think is, I'm so glad I've got points on the board.
33:23Yeah, 50.
33:24How do you feel when you score 94 and lose?
33:27Well, it's just special coming on the show that I'd watch every day
33:32and really like, so that's worth it.
33:35I wish we had some sort of wild card we could hand out to some contestants
33:38and say you don't have to wait ten years, but, you know, rules are rules.
33:42Martin Jasper, thank you so much for being here.
33:44A Pelé-esque performance you didn't quite win.
33:47Thank you very much.
33:49Peter, listen, that is sensational.
33:51Another win in the bag for you.
33:52We're pushed all the way today, eh?
33:54Six now, two more.
33:56That goal becomes smaller and smaller, Peter, with every single win.
34:00Let's see what happens tomorrow.
34:01Sam, lovely to have you in the studio.
34:04Thanks for having me. It was fun.
34:05See you tomorrow, Denticles.
34:06See you then.
34:07I got one of those boring facts for you to finish the show that I love,
34:10that you go, oh, just roll the titles.
34:12And it's about Portugal and Portugal Day.
34:15Portugal is home.
34:16I love this, to the world's largest cork forest.
34:20They're a huge provider of cork.
34:22So the next time you pop open a bottle, i.e. in about half an hour from now,
34:27it's a great chance that you may be popping a cork from Portugal.
34:31Well, I'll check it out next time.
34:33Yeah, I told you that would be the response.
34:35Let me put a cork in it.
34:36We'll see you tomorrow.
34:37You can count on us.
