00:17Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to The Countdown in the studio.
00:33Now, I don't know whether somebody's having a bit of fun,
00:36but apparently, Rachel, today is clean out your refrigerator day.
00:41I can't believe it, honestly.
00:43But perhaps this was sort of dreamt up as a bit of a laugh.
00:46But I began to think, what are the most hated household chores?
00:50And apparently, I found a list, Rachel, apparently,
00:53taking out the bins, dusting those hard-to-reach places
00:58and changing the duvet covers.
01:00Now, I must tell you that the most hated of all is cleaning the oven.
01:06And I can also tell you that I've never done any of those things.
01:10I can imagine.
01:10It's true.
01:11Actually, that's not true.
01:12I have changed the duvet cover.
01:14And it's like fighting with an octopus, isn't it?
01:17Changing a duvet cover.
01:18Inside all this...
01:20Only with lack of experience, Nick.
01:22Now, what are your nightmare stories about cleaning household chores?
01:27Well, I don't even own an ironing board.
01:29I think ironing is just wasting your life.
01:32That's why everything's so tight.
01:33I don't have to iron it.
01:35That's my tip.
01:36Ironing?
01:37I have to...
01:39All my own ironing shirts.
01:40Blokes have to iron shirts.
01:42Shall I get a small violin out?
01:43Good, if you won't.
01:45How about Mr Lee, our wardrobe man?
01:46Mr Lee, Mr Sticky, as we call him, is much better than I'll ever be.
01:51So there we are.
01:52I'll have to save my bacon on that one.
01:54Who's with us?
01:55Graham is back.
01:56Graham Staples, a housing executive from Ballymena.
02:00And three wins, you're after your fourth today.
02:03Yeah.
02:03Somebody just whispered to me that you play in a banjo band in the Northern Ireland somewhere,
02:07or used to.
02:08Not quite banjo.
02:09It's a ukulele band.
02:11A ukulele?
02:12Yeah.
02:12All right.
02:13That's a ukulele jam.
02:14Good for you.
02:15Well done.
02:15You're joined by Ben Smith, a graphic designer from Liverpool, and you were at art school
02:20here, I think, in Salford.
02:22Is that right?
02:22In Salford.
02:22That's right, yeah.
02:23And now you're working in Liverpool.
02:25But what's interesting, you commute to work, and to sort of pass the time, you do a bit
02:30of cross-stitching, because you saw it at your grannies.
02:33Yeah.
02:33My grandma had this cross-stitch of a vase, and I thought it looked really nice, but I noticed
02:37the similarity between that and retro games, where each stitch is a pixel.
02:41So instead of doing vases, I do Mario, or Lemmings, or Tetris, out of cross-stitch.
02:46Good for you, because as you say, they're all, the whole screen's made up of pixels.
02:50Tiny little pixels, yeah.
02:51And they're all square, I guess.
02:52Yeah.
02:52Sure.
02:53Well, good for you.
02:53Big round of applause, then, for Ben and Graham Staples.
02:58And over in the corner, there she is.
03:01It's Susie.
03:02Joined for the last time, until we can get her back, it's Margaret Mountford.
03:06TV personality, businesswoman, lawyer, and all-round good stick.
03:14More from Margaret, but we've got to be ready to come back soon.
03:18She's a joy to have here.

12:23It's absolutely fine.
12:24Now, Margaret and Susie, can we match that?
12:27Well, match it with poultar.
12:30P-O-U-L-T-E-R.
12:33Yeah.
12:33Another word for a poultarer, so a dealer in poultry or game.
12:37That would give you another seven.
12:38And tadpole also there for seven.
12:40Tadpole. Very good.
12:4329 to 20. Graham is still in the lead by nine.
12:46So, Ben, it's your numbers game.
12:48One large and five small, please, Rachel.
12:51Thank you, Ben.
12:52One from the top row.
12:53Five not from the top row.
12:54And this time, they are ten, nine, seven, four, two, and 25.
13:04And the target, 863.
13:07Eight, six, three.
13:08Eight, six, three.
13:38Well, Ben?
13:40No, too far away.
13:42Graham?
13:43And too far away as well.
13:44So, we throw ourselves at your feed, Rachel.
13:48Yes, you could have said seven plus ten is 17.
13:53Times two is 34.
13:55Times 25 is 850.
13:58And then you have nine and four to add on for 863.
14:01That's superb.
14:05Wonderful.
14:07Really wonderful.
14:0929 plays 20.
14:11What do we do?
14:12Let's talk to Margaret.
14:14Now, Margaret, I hear you've got a job as a tourer, a tour operator.
14:20Not tour operator, but tour guide.
14:22Tour guide.
14:22Just for a day.
14:23New experience for me.
14:24I had lots of help, of course.
14:27I took a group round a Roman villa in the Bay of Naples.
14:31And everybody's heard of Pompeii and Herculaneum that were destroyed when Vesuvius erupted.
14:36But there were a lot of villas destroyed as well, because that area was where a lot of wealthy Romans
14:40had their seaside villas.
14:43And the one I went round was at a place that used to be called a Plontis, which is at
14:47or more likely under the modern town of Torianunziata, which is just north of Pompeii.
14:53And this was a wonderful villa.
14:55It had a 61-metre swimming pool.
14:57So that shows you the sort of scale of which they lived.
15:01But one of the interesting things about this villa is that it was empty when Vesuvius erupted.
15:06So you don't get the casts of the bodies like you did at Pompeii.
15:11You don't get skeletons like you did at Herculaneum.
15:13The villa was empty, and it didn't have any furniture in it, either, or crockery or pots and pans, anything
15:18like that.
15:19It had all been taken away.
15:22And one theory is that it had been bought by new owners who decided to throw everything out and replace
15:27it all with new stuff.
15:29And that may relate to who may have owned the villa before, because there's a theory that it was owned
15:34by Poppeia, who was Nero's second wife, Nero who fiddled while Rome burned.
15:39And, of course, Nero was very unpopular.
15:41And after he died, his name was scratched out of all the inscriptions where it was, and his face was
15:46cut off carvings and so on.
15:49And if you bought a villa that had been owned by his wife, well, you might have got a bargain
15:53in the same way that possibly if you bought a house where a murder had been committed, for example.
15:58Well, you'd pay a low price for it, but you'd want to change everything.
16:02It's well worth a visit.
16:03I'd recommend it.
16:04Not necessarily with me as a guide, but with others.
16:07We'd demand you as a guide.
16:09That's wonderful.
16:10Thank you very much.
16:18Wonderful.
16:20We'll all go.
16:22You can show us round.
16:24Now, 29 plays 20.
16:26Ben on 20.

17:35Just five.
17:37Five. Ben? Five.
17:40Graham? Chump.
17:42Now then, Ben. Chime.
17:45Chime. How tricky is this?
17:47It's quite tricky. Margaret?
17:49Well, there's another legal one, which is a bit longer. Impeach.
17:52To impeach somebody, yes.
17:54It comes from the French en péché, meaning to hinder or prevent.
17:5834 plays 25. Graham on 34. Ben, your letters game.

20:3310 plus 1 is 11.
20:35It is.

23:15Sorry.
23:16That's right.
23:16Oh, that is painful.
23:18Now, then.
23:19In the corner.
23:20Well, I wanted to know if one time was a word.
23:22Oh.
23:23So you'll probably tell me it's not.
23:24Oh, one word.
23:25No.
23:25It's got a hyphen.
23:26Yeah.
23:28I surprised myself by coming up with moisten.
23:30That was there for seven.
23:32But we had an eight, which was semitone.
23:35Semitone.
23:35Semitone.
23:36In music.

24:20Stand by.
24:22Stand by.
24:52Graham?
24:53I'll stick with a five.
24:54Five and Ben? Five.
24:57Yes, Graham?
24:58Ovoid. Ben? Civil.
25:00And civil? Yeah.
25:03Five. I know.
25:04What do you think? Margaret, can we beat five?
25:06No, we were livid.
25:09Livid, well done.
25:10Susie, anything else? A little bit lucid,
25:12but that's it for five. And that'll do.
25:14Yeah. Thank you. Sixty plays
25:1638. Susie, we're
25:19back with one of your wonderful Origins of Words.
25:21And today?
25:23Well, I've been reading a great
25:25book written by someone that Margaret and I have both
25:26met, actually, Peter Jones, who's very much
25:28interested in bringing the classics
25:30to everybody.
25:32Because not only linguistically do we owe the classics
25:35a lot, but also just in culture as well.
25:37And so I'm going to talk about the Romans
25:39again. In Roman times,
25:41whatever a father's special
25:43qualities, the key
25:45to a successful family was the
25:47wife's capacity to produce children.
25:49That was just all
25:49important. I suppose in some cultures
25:51not much has changed.
25:52But fertility itself
25:54comes from the Latin
25:55pharaoh, meaning I carry.
25:57It's linked to
25:58ferry, and indeed
25:59the fare that you might
26:00pay to travel in the
26:01ferry. And they were
26:03all very relevant to a fertile
26:04woman. But
26:05this is because on her depended the
26:07continuation, not just of the
26:08family, but of
26:09citizen children, and so the
26:11Roman state, and of the gods that
26:13they worshipped, etc. So it was this
26:14sort of very complicated, interwoven
26:16thing that was all
26:17important. And the word for
26:19blessed, Felix, which of course
26:21gave us Felicity and
26:23Felicitas, applied to her. But if
26:25you go all the way back to that
26:28very ancient route, you'll find it's
26:30linked to femina, so we get
26:31feminine from that. That was a
26:33woman.
26:34Fecundus, which means
26:35fecund, and
26:36foetus as well. They're all
26:39linked. They all go back to the same
26:40ancient route meaning to suckle. But
26:43I thought I'd mention that link
26:44with foetus because, you know, the
26:46word afeet, we talk about
26:47something over-refined today as
26:50being slightly afeet, or maybe
26:51just a little bit feeble. But
26:53actually for the Romans, that was
26:54the worst fate of all, because it
26:56literally meant out-wound. It's
26:58linked to foetus. It means worn out
27:00by bearing too many children. So a
27:02woman will be afeet, essentially
27:04barren because she had just
27:05produced too many offspring.
27:08But onto a slightly happier note
27:10when it comes to children, if
27:13children were lacking or didn't
27:14quite have the qualities that were
27:15hoped for, they would be adopted
27:17quite regularly from other
27:19families. Margaret will know this
27:20to ensure the survival of the
27:22line. But I mention this because
27:23adoption, if you look back to its
27:25root in Latin, it's actually really
27:27lovely because it means to choose
27:29to come to. So you were choosing
27:30someone to come to your family,
27:32which I think is a really nice way
27:33of looking at it. And it was all
27:36about, as I say, helping the family
27:37to succeed, and often it wasn't
27:38babies that came over, but it was
27:40adults. So adults would be adopted
27:42into a family. And Tiberius,
27:44Caligula, Nero, Hadrian, so many
27:47people were adopted into another
27:49family in order to keep up the
27:51power if the womb of the all-important
27:53mother hadn't quite done its job.
27:56Well, well, well.

31:10Well, back to the law for orbiter, as in orbiter dicta.
31:15Yeah.
31:16Which means what again?
31:17Something that's said that isn't part of the main argument.
31:20Okay.
31:20It's sort of said on the side.
31:22I see.
31:23Susie?
31:24Oh, you can put another R in and have orbiter.
31:26That would give you a seven.
31:27Oh, yes.
31:28An orbiter.
31:29That which orbits.
