00:31Hello everybody, welcome to Countdown this Tuesday afternoon in June and look, let's just start by giving a very special
00:38mention to the producers.
00:40Amazing, smart, funny and obviously then Rachel, I'm not talking about the producers of this show, I'm talking about the
00:47film, the producers, Mel Brooks.
00:50I love the film, I mean I've not actually seen the original, I know that's terrible but I'm absolutely in
00:54love with the new one, the modern one with Will Ferrell and Nathan Lane and co.
00:58Yeah, love it, I can't believe you haven't seen the original but it's a Mel Brooks original with Gene Wilder
01:03and that's why I bring it up on this day, in 1933 the late great Gene Wilder was born.
01:09And I don't know if there's an official list of the most underrated or under decorated actors of all time
01:15but he might be top of my list.
01:17I mean whether it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of course there's Willy Wonka, the producers, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles,
01:26See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
01:27I mean he actually didn't make that many movies and so many of them great but that sort of balance
01:32he always had between humour and anxiety that he brought to everything he did and the timing is as good
01:39as anyone that's ever acted.
01:41It's quite niche isn't it, if you like that style of comedy then you're going to like all of his
01:44films.
01:45Well listen, in Dictionary Corner we've got someone who gets wilder about words with every single series, a countdown and
01:50we're on the tail end, the business end of 89 at the moment, Susie Dent is here.
01:55Now making her debut this week, we can add her to Countdown's wonderful list of Olympic gold medalists who've sat
02:01in that chair, Sam Quick is here.
02:03Hello.
02:06You're a fan of the Gene Wilder movies?
02:08I am, Willy Wonka is just the one isn't it and even the remakes they just for me don't ever
02:13live up to the original.
02:14No you can't match it, you can't match it's a one and only moment and you know he didn't make
02:18many films because his wife got very ill and he took years and years off to look after her and
02:22they were at home together for years and years and years and they painted together, they did a lot of
02:26charity work and it's quite an interesting story actually.
02:29Yeah, all round good egg isn't he?
02:31Yeah, good egg, yeah. Well Peter Young's a good egg, that's fair to say. Six wins on the board. You
02:38got a 99 yesterday, I'm not going to say you were a flake but it was touch and go wasn't
02:42it?
02:42Very much so.
02:44How you find, I mean it's in a nice way but I mean show one you brought a lot of
02:48nerves.
02:49Absolutely.
02:49Right, and then now do you feel like they're coming back as you get towards eight?
02:53A little bit yeah, because there's a possibility of cracking into that top eight so.
02:59Peter, there's a lot of pressure there but you can handle it and we're all with you, we're all friends
03:02now so you can relax.
03:03Going for your seventh win today and you're taking on Francis Scott who's originally from East Anglia, how are you
03:09sir?
03:10I'm very well thank you Colin.
03:11Good, you're a retired vicar.
03:12That's right.
03:13Excuse my ignorance but is there a retirement age for vicars? The most retired, the most just keep going really?
03:20Yes, I'm retired early just in case you were wondering.
03:24Oh yeah, I mean 40, 45, something like that.
03:2668 is my official retirement date but I had the good sense to marry a doctor so we were able
03:31to retire early and look after the grandkids.
03:33I love that, so I know you keep very fit. Is it true you climbed Kilimanjaro with broken ribs?
03:38Yeah, not when I set off but halfway up I tripped and cracked my ribs.
03:43Well listen, this is physically less strenuous but mentally probably similar.
03:47So let's see what happens, Francis and Peter.
03:50APPLAUSE
03:53And you're picking these first letters, Peter.
03:56Consonant please, Rachel.
03:57Thank you Peter. Start today with C.
04:00Another consonant.
04:02N.
04:04Consonant.
04:12N.
04:24And a consonant please.
04:26And a final N.
04:28At Hulmandin in the studio, let's play Countdown.
05:01How many, Peter? Just a seven.
05:03A seven from you and Francis? Just a six.
05:06A six is? Entail.
05:08Entail, and let's find out.
05:10Climate. Yes, climate is there,
05:12which changes the score.
05:14Seven-nil. Good start, champ.
05:16What about you, Sam? Did you get off to a good start today?
05:18I didn't, but Susie did.
05:21There's a nine to kick us off, actually.
05:23You're kidding me.
05:24Yeah, militants.
05:25Well spotted. Yeah.
05:27Well spotted.
05:29Yeah, it was a busy old set of letters.
05:32Completely missed that.
05:3318 points have you got it at home and are keeping score.
05:36Militants.
05:37Yeah, same as militancy, really.
05:39Just the use of aggressive or confrontational methods.
05:41Sensational.
05:43OK, Francis, more letters?
05:45Hi, Rachel. Start with the consonant, please.
05:48Thank you. Start with...
05:49And another one.
05:52And a third.
05:55Vowel, please.
05:58And a second.
06:00And a third.
06:05Consonant.
06:09Consonant.
06:10And a final vowel, please.
06:14And a final e.
06:16And 30 seconds.
06:18And a final vowel, please.
06:48That's time, Francis.
06:50Just five.
06:51And for Peter?
06:52Six.
06:52And the six for you, Francis, what's the five?
06:55Vens.
06:56And for the six?
06:57Venues.
06:58And venues?
06:58Of course.
06:59Yes.
06:59Ha, there you go.
07:01Six more points in the bank, Susie and Sam.
07:04Yeah, venues.
07:05And...
07:06You can stick a D in there, strangely, and have vendues.
07:11If you do it with a French accent, vendues, because it comes ultimately from French, and
07:15they're public auctions or sales.
07:17Great stuff.
07:17First numbers round of the day, then.
07:19Peter.
07:20Two large, please.
07:21Peter.
07:22Two from the top.
07:23Four not.
07:24And the first numbers of this contest are 1, 7, 4, 3, 50 and 25.
07:34And the target to reach 945.
07:37945.
07:38Numbers up.
08:05And the second numbers, look at all.
08:06I don't know.
08:07But I don't know.
08:09I'll test you. 9-4-5, Peter.
08:149-4... No, I've lost it.
08:169-4, no, is definitely not a number. So, Francis?
08:19No, I lost it as well. Sorry. You lost it as well.
08:22All right, there was furrowed brows. 9-4-5, double R, talk to me.
08:28If you say 4 plus 1 is 5,
08:3250 minus 5 is 45,
08:3545 times 3 is 135,
08:41and times that by... Oh, no, sorry, it's not.
08:43Er, it is. Times it by 7.
08:46And you do get there. 9-4-5.
08:47APPLAUSE
08:51And that's exactly why myself and 99% of the people watching
08:55didn't get it. That was so complicated. Well done. 9-4-5.
08:59Let's get our first tea-time teaser. It's rajthing.
09:02Rajthing. R-A-J. The bird has one last drink before retiring to bed.
09:09The bird has one last drink before retiring to bed.
09:29The bird has a night jar. Nothing to do with booze. It's, you know...
09:36Well, you have to be eagle-eyed to spot them, actually, in the UK. Pardon the pun.
09:41They're more like a kestrel. They're a nocturnal bird, Susie.
09:44I've been lucky enough to see a few.
09:46And they just hunt, I think, at sundown and sunup, as far as you remember.
09:49Yeah, they eat insects and have incredibly large eyes.
09:53So you've probably seen the European night jar.
09:54I was just looking up the jar bit, and I think it's because they have a really distinctive core.
10:00Not that it's jarring, but that's another name for a kind of very distinctive noise.
10:04Beautiful. We love our birds. We love our birds on the countdown.
10:07OK, let's get back to the game. Francis, going to get your points on the board here.
10:11I can feel it. Let's do it. Yes, please.
10:13Start with the consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Francis.
10:16C. And another one.
10:18N. And a third.
10:21K. And a fourth.
10:25G. Vowel, please.
10:29O. Second one.
10:31E. Third one.
10:34I. Fourth vowel.
10:39E. And a final consonant, please.
10:42And a final T. Thanks, Rich.
10:46O. Second one.
11:14S, R.
11:15That's it, Francis?
11:17Yeah, six.
11:18Six for you, and Peter?
11:19Dodgy seven.
11:20There's a lot of dodgy sevens there.
11:23Francis, the six?
11:24Teeing.
11:25Teeing, right, so you haven't taken a risk.
11:27Which one did you go for?
11:28Talking.
11:30He could have went for teching.
11:31He could have went for teaking.
11:35Could have went for talking.
11:36He went for talking, as in tick-talking.
11:39Yeah, and it's only there as tick-talking.
11:41It's not there as talking on its own.
11:42I'm sorry, Peter.
11:44So many people in the same place, Peter,
11:46but it's so much easier to risk it from the sofa.
11:49What is there?
11:50There is an iron, isn't there?
11:51Yeah.
11:51You're kidding.
11:52There is.
11:53So, genetic is there, but if you sort of twist it around a little bit,
11:57you can have ketogenic, which is to do with ketogenesis,
12:01and that, in turn, is the production of ketone bodies
12:03when you metabolise fats.
12:05Goodness me, ketogenic.
12:07Sensational work.
12:08Well done, Dictionary Corner.
12:09APPLAUSE
12:12And the good news is, Francis,
12:13I was right, it got you your first six points.
12:15Well done.

15:29memorabilia yes but then let's delve into a lesser told Sam quick story which is

21:093-3-4 is nine away. Francis?
21:12No, I didn't get there.

21:3254.
21:33Yeah, nine away, squeaking in with a few points there, and the lead.
21:36Could be vital, eh? Could be vital.
21:38So how do we get this 3-2-5?
21:40Yeah, a couple of ways I found.
21:42If you say 4 times 3 is 12, add the second three for 15 and the 10 for 25,
21:49and then 6 plus 7 is 13, and you're back to regular one large.
21:533-2-5.
21:54Yeah, well done.

22:21Fatherly.
22:27Hello again.
22:28An applicable Tea Time teaser, seeing as we have a retired vicar in the studio.
22:32No maths, just an important figure.
22:35Fatherly.
22:36Fatherly.
22:36And if you're trying to work out the clue, father figure.
22:39I did not work that out.
22:40Rachel told me during the break.
22:42Six rounds to go.
22:43Francis, your letters.
22:45Let's change things up with a vowel, please.

23:48Francis? Seven. And Peter? Seven. Here we go, Francis. Motored. Yes, and for Peter? Doormat. And doormat. Great under pressure,
24:00both of you. At two sevens, anything to equal it or better it? Go one further. Eight, which is... Go
24:08on, how do we say it? Moderato? Yes, exactly right. It's from Italian, like many musical directions, it means to
24:16go at a moderate pace.
24:17Thank you very much. Well, I wouldn't say we're doing that, are we? 46, 44. Two points in it. We're

25:28Peter, how many?
25:29Seven.
25:30And Francis?
25:31Seven.
25:32Here we go again.
25:33Peter?
25:34Pleased.
25:34Yes, and Francis?
25:36Pleased.
25:36Yep.
25:37Doesn't please either of you, that.
25:39We stay two points apart into Dictionary Corner.
25:42Just seven.
25:43Yeah, just seven.
25:44We were pleased, we were very pleased, and we had elapsed as well.
25:47And that's it.
25:48Right, my goodness me.
25:49Right, 53-51, you're both over half a century.
25:52It's nip and tuck, it's so tight.
25:54There's four rounds left.
25:55Peter's going for his seventh win, and we're right at the end of Series 89.
26:01So it really is nail-biting.
26:02But we're going to increase the torture for you,
26:05because we're going to stop for our origins of words.
26:08So I always think it's either beautifully placed
26:10or quite cruelly placed in close games like that.
26:13So what are we talking about?
26:15Yes, I will go quickly.
26:17Well, I'm not quite sure what Stella Garside was thinking
26:20when she emailed to ask this question.
26:22She said,
26:27So thank you for that, Stella.
26:30And words for silliness, I was thinking,
26:32have had quite strange histories over the course of their lifetime.
26:35So if you take daft or daft,
26:37that would have been a real compliment
26:40in Anglo-Saxon society,
26:42because it meant mild and gentle and pleasing.
26:47Batty is much, much more recent.
26:49So the first record that we have in the dictionary is 1901
26:52for bats in the belfry.
26:55So it is one of those many metaphors for people
26:58who just perhaps aren't quite thinking straight.
27:01You know, we have lots.
27:02And many of them are actually euphemisms for mental illness,
27:06because it was seen as a real taboo.
27:08And thankfully, it's not now.
27:10Our mental health is actually seen as something really important
27:12that we need to preserve.
27:13But if you go back over time, it was a taboo.
27:16And bats in the belfry,
27:18simply you've got sort of birds going around in your head
27:20was the idea there.
27:21Cuckoo, very similarly.
27:23So bat has been a synonym for being slightly daft
27:27since the early 20th century.
27:29And one last cuckoo fact, because I love this.
27:31Our coccyx, our coccyx bone is named after the cuckoo.
27:36Apparently, to early medics,
27:38it reminded people of a cuckoo's beak.
27:40Love it. Thank you.
27:43Well, Peter and Francis just about holding on to their sanity,
27:47under real pressure here.
27:48Four rounds to go.
27:49So let's get on with it.
27:50Two points to difference.

28:57Time's up. Francis?
28:59Seven. Peter? Five.
29:02The five is? Atlas.
29:04And for the lead to change hands yet again, Francis, the seven?
29:08Assault. Assault.
29:09Yeah, very good indeed. Brilliant, well done.
29:14I'm going to get you back into the lead by five points.
29:17What a game this is. Sam, quick, can you add anything to this round?
29:20No, it was assault on my senses.
29:21Yeah. All right, last letters. Let's go, Mr. Young.
29:25Consonant, please. Thank you, Peter.
29:28C. And another one.
29:31X. And another one.
29:34N. Vowel, please.

30:20What?
30:21I.
30:22I.
30:26I.
30:27I.
30:28I.
30:29Peter? Six. Six. And Francis? I'll try six.
30:33Peter the six? Carton. And for you, Francis?
30:36Atonic. Atonic. OK.
30:40Big moment there, Susie. It's in the dictionary.
30:43And I should know this, cos in linguistics it means without an accent or a stress,
30:48but also physically it means lacking muscular tone.
30:51Goodness me. Yeah. Goodness me.
30:53And obviously cartons there and a few other sixes I can see,
30:56but what about anything above that? We've got another six,
30:59which is still along the lines within the body. Aortic. OK.
31:04And we could scramble to a seven with a word from Botany, Cortina.
31:09Nothing to do with cars. And in some toadstalls,
31:11you know you have that sort of web that extends through the stalk.
31:15That is your Cortina. Well, goodness me.
31:18Five points in it. Two rounds to go.
31:21The stakes so high, but one round at a time.
31:24Francis, and its last numbers.
31:26Let's try three large, three small, please.
31:29Thank you, Francis. You've taken your life into your own hands
31:31with a little bit of a gamble there.
31:33Let's see if we get that crucial conundrum or not.
31:35Final numbers.
31:36Ten, six, seven.
31:38And the big one.
31:3975, 150.
31:41And the target, 803.
31:45803.
31:46Numbers up.
31:47The anchors over.
31:50The
31:56cameras are raised here.
31:57Everyone is flying off happening through the picnic,
31:57there is just a few puccane 。
32:04We've turned off.
32:04There is absolutely more.
32:05In few, 30 years,
32:05They're doing some work since啦.
32:05And the way.
32:15But now we're talking about crunching,
32:18Time's up. 8.03. Francis?
32:21800. Peter? No, lost it.
32:23Lost it. So, the opposite.
32:25We will have a new champion if you register this. Go, Francis.
32:2910 plus 6.
32:3010 plus 6. 16.
32:32Times 50. And that wins you your T for 800.
32:38Goodness me, goodness me.
32:40Never a dull moment with Peter Young.
32:43Never a dull moment. Fantastic.
32:46Eight zeroes, three, then, please.
32:48I round a couple of ways.
32:49Easiest was probably 75 plus 6 is 81.
32:53Times by a ten for 810. And Tate for 7803.
32:57Brilliant. Well done. Well done to you.
32:59APPLAUSE
33:01All right, let's save the eulogy for a bit.
33:03Peter and Francis, let's get your fingers on those buzzers
33:06as we reveal Tuesday afternoon's Countdown Conundrum.
33:13BUZZER
33:13Go on, Peter.
33:16Intention.
33:17Is it intention?
33:18It is.
33:20APPLAUSE
33:22There you go. Well, it means you've only lost out by two points.
33:26I'm not annoying.
33:28Yes. I mean, let's do this.
33:31Let's do this.
33:32First of all, I want to say, Francis, well done to you.
33:34And no pressure on you, because there's not eight episodes left of this series.
33:38So if you're going to become an Octo-Champ, you're going to have to come back for Series 90.
33:42So we'll see you tomorrow, OK?
33:43Yep.
33:44And we were talking before today's show, actually, Rachel and I.
33:48Peter, if you could have just made the final eight, you could have beaten anyone,
33:51because so erratic a player.
33:54It's been amazing to watch.
33:56The craziness.
33:58Absolutely crazy. I've loved having you here. How's it been for you?
34:01It's been an adventure.
34:02You've just been great to have here. Thank you, mate.
34:04Thank you. Cheers. Thank you. Well done.
34:06APPLAUSE
34:07All right, brilliant. Sam, Susie, we'll see you tomorrow.
34:10Yes, look forward to it.
34:11I think, Rachel, I feel like we can finally relax a little bit.
34:14We know it's going to be eight Octo-Champs in our end of series final.
34:18It's been crazy.
34:18Well, what I've learnt from this experience is you can never rely on a man
34:21whose favourite dessert is garlic-flavoured ice cream.
34:23You don't know what you're going to get.
34:26Goodness me. The whole way through, we never knew.
34:29Loved it. That's why we love Countdown.
34:30It'll be another adventure tomorrow.
34:32Susie, Rachel and I will be waiting here for you. You can count on us.
