00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Here we are today.
00:35What happens down in Regent's Park?
00:37Why?
00:37The taste of London.
00:39It's an extraordinary event, really.
00:40It attracts 50,000 people.
00:42They trot along and then they can taste the food and drink of the sort of restaurants and cafes and
00:47what have you in that part of London.
00:50It's thinking about eating in the open.
00:52I love eating outdoors.
00:53To eat out in the evening.
00:55Yeah.
00:55It's great.
00:56Candle on table.
00:57Oh, it's wonderful.
00:58The weather's good.
00:59Beautiful.
01:00Especially in this country because we don't get it too often.
01:02So as soon as there's one sunny day and we're all outside, it just makes you feel better, doesn't it?
01:05Absolutely.
01:06As long as I don't have to sit on the ground.
01:08There we are.
01:09All right.
01:10Rachel, Imogen's back.
01:12Two wins.
01:13Got a teapot and a win from Hale Barnes in Cheshire.
01:17You feeling good?
01:18I'm feeling reasonable.
01:19Well, you're a very calm, a calm customer, Imogen.
01:23Now, you're joined by Liz Smith, a customer service assistant from Marple near Stockport.
01:28Worked for a building society.
01:30The thing is that since the late 70s, you've been crazy for punk music and you love the Manic Street
01:37Preachers.
01:38That's who I've moved on to now, yes.
01:40Exactly.
01:41And you go to gigs as often as you can.
01:43I still go to gigs, yes.
01:44Excellent.
01:45Yes.
01:45Well, listen, have a lot of fun today.
01:47Both of you.
01:47Good luck to you both.
01:48Big round of applause for Imogen and Liz Smith.
01:57And over in the corner, Susie, of course, and with his cap on, is that brilliant comedian, poet, actor, and
02:03friend of the show, Rufus Hound.
02:05Welcome back, Rufus.
02:05Lovely to be here.
02:06Thank you very much.
02:10Always good to see Rufus.
02:11It really is.
02:12Now, Imogen, your letters game.
02:16Hi, Rachel.
02:17Hi, Imogen.
02:18Please, can I have a vowel to start?
02:20Start with A.
02:22And another.
02:24I.
02:25And another.
02:27E.
02:28And a consonant, please.
02:31M.
02:32Another consonant.
02:34R.
02:35Another.
02:37Z.
02:39And another.
02:41S.
02:43And a vowel.
02:45U.
02:46And a final vowel, please.
02:49And a final A.
02:52Stand by.
02:53Stand by.
03:19Stand by.
03:23Imogen.
03:24A six.
03:26Liz?
03:26And a six.
03:28Now, Imogen.
03:30Amuser.
03:32Liz?
03:33Amazes.
03:36Amazes, very good.
03:38I don't think you can be an amuser, annoyingly,
03:42because you'd think a comedian would be an amuser,
03:43but it's not in the dictionary.
03:46I'm afraid Imogen's not there. I'm sorry.
03:48Bad luck.
03:50What can we have? Rufus?
03:52Well, a very exciting seven. Samurai.
03:56All right. Well done, Rufus.
03:58There's six points to Liz, and it's Liz we turn to.
04:01Your letters game. Liz?
04:03Hi, Rachel.
04:03Hi, Liz.
04:04Consonant, please.
04:04Thank you. Start with C.
04:07And a consonant.
04:09F.
04:10And a consonant.
04:12B.
04:12And a vowel.
04:14O.
04:15And a vowel.
04:17E.
04:19And a vowel.
04:20A.
04:21And a consonant.
04:23S.
04:24And a consonant.
04:27T.
04:29And a vowel.
04:30And the last one, E.
04:33Standby.
04:35And a vowel.
04:53And a vowel.
04:54And a vowel.
04:54And a vowel.
04:54and a vowel.
04:55and a vowel.
05:05Liz?
05:06Five.
05:07Imogen?
05:08Five.
05:09And Liz?
05:11Feast.
05:12Yes?
05:14Coast.
05:15And coast.
05:16Yes.
05:17Feast and coast. Rufus and Susie?
05:20We have another six facets.
05:23Yeah.
05:24But nothing better than that.
05:26Thank you. Eleven plays five.
05:28Liz on eleven.
05:30Imogen, your numbers game.
05:32Please, Clare, I have five little ones and one big one.
05:35You can, indeed. Your usual now.
05:37Thank you, Majum. One large, five, little.
05:39And the first one of the day is one, three, nine, five, six.
05:46And the large one, seventy-five.
05:48And the target, nine hundred and forty-two.
05:50Nine, four, two.
06:25Nine, three, six.
06:27Nine, three, six, did you say?
06:29And Liz?
06:30I haven't got anywhere.
06:32So, we're with Imogen.
06:34Off we go.
06:35I did nine plus three.
06:37Nine plus three, twelve.
06:40Times seventy-five.
06:41Nine hundred.
06:42And then I did five plus one.
06:44Is six.
06:45Times that by the six.
06:47Or thirty-six.
06:48And six away.
06:50There we are.
06:51Rachel, can you get us nearer?
06:53Yes, Nick.
06:54If you say seventy-five plus one is seventy-six.
06:58Nine plus three is twelve.
07:01Times those together for nine hundred and twelve.
07:04And six times five gives you thirty to add on for nine-four-two.
07:08Perfect.
07:09Perfect.
07:12Thanks, Rachel.
07:14So, Imogen, just one point behind ten to Liz's eleven as we turn to our first Tea Time teaser, which
07:22is Rainy Ages.
07:24And the clue, he'll speak against others, but he wins Leo's friendship.
07:28He'll speak against others, but he wins Leo's friendship.
07:48Welcome back.
07:49I left with the clue, he'll speak against others, but he wins Leo's friendship.
07:52And the answer to that is that, er, he's a gainsayer.
07:58Gainsayer.
08:00Now, still that one point.
08:02Eleven to ten in Liz's favour.
08:05Liz, your letters came.
08:06Consonant, please.
08:07Thank you, Liz.

09:06Yes, Liz.
09:07Uh, seven.
09:09And?

09:13Cruiser.
09:14And?
09:15Scowler.
09:16Uh, absolutely fine.
09:18Happy enough?
09:19Yes.
09:20Happy.
09:20What about Rufus?
09:22Rufus.
09:22Well, a lovely eight with procures.
09:25Yes.
09:26But a nine.
09:27Oh, no.
09:28Susie?
09:29Um, yeah.
09:30Croupier.
09:31Or croupiers.
09:32Croupiers.
09:32Oh, well done.
09:33Perfect.
09:34Good win.
09:38Croupiers, indeed.
09:39Still that one point in it.
09:41Liz leads by a point.
09:43And it's Imogen we turn to, to try and wrestle back the lead.
09:47Imogen, off we go.
09:48Please, clear the vowel.
09:50Thank you, Imogen.
09:51E.
09:51And another?

09:54And another one?

10:09O.
10:11A consonant?
10:13S.
10:14And a consonant to finish.
10:17And to finish, M.
10:19Stand by.
10:21A consonant.
10:23One.
10:37One.
10:43One.
10:45One.
10:50Imogen?
10:51A six.
10:52A six? Liz?
10:53A five.
10:54Your five?
10:55Mouse.
10:56Now then, Imogen?
10:58Shaken.
11:00Oh, I've seen the Amazon end.
11:02Oh, bad luck.
11:04Oh, bad luck. That is bad luck.
11:08Rufus, what have you done?
11:09Coombs?
11:10Coombs. It's not that exciting.
11:12Really, it's a monetary unit of Mauritania.
11:15Yeah. But, K-H-O-U-M-S. Coombs. I'll give you six, at least.
11:19That's extraordinary. Where you got that from, I've known.
11:21Well, Mauritania, clearly. Coombs. Well, well, well.
11:2523 to 17. Liz has built a lead.
11:29And now it's her numbers game. Yes, madam?
11:31Two from the top and any of the four, please, Rachel.
11:33Thank you, Liz. Two large, four little.
11:36And the second numbers game of the day is 8, 1, 10, 4, 50 and 100.
11:45And the target, 493.
11:48493.
12:18That's why we take a look at the Olympics check in 2020.
12:21Liz?
12:22493.
12:23And Imogen?
12:24493.
12:26Yes, Liz?
12:2750 times 10 is 500.
12:30500.
12:318 minus 1 is 7.
12:33Yep.
12:33Take that off.
12:33Simple as.
12:34Well done.
12:35Yes, Imogen, same way?
12:36Exactly the same.
12:37There we go, just for good form.
12:43Very good.
12:44Still, 33 plays 27 six points in it
12:48as we turn to Rufus.
12:50Now Rufus, what are you up to?
12:53Well, this week it's poems and jokes
12:55around the themes of photographs
12:57for literally no reason at all.
13:00But in thinking about photographs,
13:02there was a true thing that happened to me
13:05and changed an enormous part of my life
13:08and I've tried to recreate it here in poetic form.
13:12Right.
13:13Wish me luck.
13:16I was travelling back from a gig one bank holiday.
13:19How it had gone, I failed to recall.
13:21But let's just assume I'd been thanked and applauded.
13:24A signed photo of me now hangs on their wall.
13:26So, there I was, 25, sat on the district line,
13:30doing my damnedest to travel correctly,
13:32avoiding eye contact with all other passengers,
13:34not eating or talking, just staring directly.
13:37All my attention poured into the book I read,
13:40head tilted downward, devoid of emotion,
13:42when suddenly, up in the carriage away ahead,
13:45began to sense something was causing commotion.
13:48Like any experienced grizzled tube traveller,
13:51not for one moment would I show concern.
13:53I ascertained quickly the palaver seemed innocent
13:55and back to the book, my attentions were turned.
13:58Yet, mere moments later, disruption took hold again.
14:01This time, by golly, it seemed to be nearer.
14:04Still far enough off that I knew not what caused it,
14:06the source of the trouble seemed not any clearer.
14:09So, back to my book, but with some trepidation
14:12and worries within me now turning to dread,
14:14as for the third time in as many a minute,
14:17an audible fracas made me turn my head.
14:20Now, this kind of behaviour has only one destiny,
14:22the sort that leaves every traveller annoyed.
14:25Some scoundrel was making requests of commuters
14:28with laughter emerging and fresh Polaroids.
14:32And as he got nearer, I witnessed this chap's M.O.
14:34The pair next to me, he approached, if you please,
14:37and said,
14:37I am this evening's official photographer.
14:40Cuddle up closely, look here, and say cheese.
14:43Well, the man was so charming, the people obeyed him.
14:45They squished in together, the man's camera flashed.
14:48Then out popped a little white blank piece of paper,
14:51and everyone smiled and none felt abashed.
14:53Then the blank piece of paper began to develop.
14:56The lensman hurrahed as the picture transpired,
14:58and he said, as he handed the couple their photo,
15:02you two be lucky, no payment required.
15:05Well, my jaw hit the floor, as I'm sure you'd imagine.
15:08The hell kind of con is this huckster up to?
15:10Making folk happy, then taking their picture,
15:13and not taking money from them?
15:15What voodoo is this that I'm seeing?
15:18My internal cynic trying to deduce the cove's motivation,
15:21when he turned and he saw me sat next to some stranger
15:24and asked us to cluster for his next creation.
15:27But we don't know each other, I said with a start.
15:30That doesn't matter, he calmly opposed,
15:32and the fella sat next to me, clearly agreed,
15:34and he smiled for the camera, put his arm round me, and posed.
15:38And the picture got taken and handed, not to me,
15:40but to the chap sat in the seat to my right.
15:42The tube at a station stopped, opened its doors,
15:45and the Polaroid offerer began to alight.
15:48Well, it wasn't my stop, but confusion reigned over me.
15:51Something within me could not let it go.
15:53What the hell was he up to?
15:55Random photography?
15:56This bloke's up to something, but what?
15:58I didn't know.
15:59So I leapt out and chased him halfway down the platform.
16:02He wasn't that quick, he had two heavy bags.
16:04And I asked, what was all that about in the carriage?
16:07I mean, people enjoyed it, but something just nags.
16:10Why were you doing it?
16:12How do you afford it?
16:13It doesn't add up as a thing people do.
16:15Plus, talking to strangers on underground trains,
16:18what the hell kind of hustle you work in?
16:20Who are you trying to screw?
16:22The fella just laughed and laid down his belongings
16:25and explained with increasingly trademark good humour
16:27that he worked in promotions for some massive firm
16:30selling drinks sold in pubs direct to consumers.
16:33The camera and two sacks of Polaroid film
16:36had been given, along with instructions,
16:38to photograph drinkers and hand them a coupon
16:40that qualified them for reductions.
16:42But after an hour of traipsing about
16:44and finding each boozer deserted,
16:46he decided to call it a night and go home.
16:49And that's when his mission converted.
16:51He'd sat on that tube feeling bored and dejected,
16:54looked at his counterpart travellers
16:56and wondered if strictures for travelling by tube
16:59inadvertently kind of unravelled us.
17:02We sit there, said he, staring down at the ground,
17:05wishing the journey would end.
17:07But what if some bloke asked you just for a joke
17:09to act like a stranger's your friend?
17:12Well, I felt certain at first I'd be yelled at or worse,
17:15but after a few it got going.
17:16The pit started flying, odd people make friends
17:19and miserable folk were now glowing.
17:21I gave people a reason to lower their guard
17:24just for a moment or two,
17:26then gave them a keepsake reminding them
17:28that it's the very best thing we can do.
17:31And with that, grabbed his packs full of Polaroid film
17:34and headed away to Mile End.
17:36But not before taking our picture,
17:38two strangers who just made a friend.
17:41Oh, well done.
17:49Thanks for that poem.
17:51It was brilliant.
17:53Right.
17:5433 to 27.
17:56Liz still in the lead.
17:57Imogen, your letters game.
17:59Please could I start with a consonant?

19:22There is.

20:49And literal?
20:51Yes, it can be a talia. That's in the dictionary.
20:53Literal, yeah. Very good.
20:54Well, they're not budging, are they?
20:56No, Rufus, Hound and Susie.
21:00You can be volatile.
21:02Yes.
21:03Especially if you're a violator.
21:05Yeah.
21:06One of the problems.
21:08Very much so.
21:10Susie, anything else?
21:11No, a couple of eights.
21:12Thank you. Thanks, Rufus.
21:13Now, 46 to 40.
21:16Imogen, your numbers game. Good luck.
21:19Describe the usual.
21:20The usual. One large and five little. Thank you, Imogen.
21:23And this time around, they are eight, three, ten, ten, four.
21:31And the big one, 75.

22:11Thank you, Liz.
22:13No.
22:14Nope.
22:14I haven't got anything.
22:15Oh, dear.
22:16Imogen, here's your break.
22:1810 minus 4.
22:2010 minus 4 is 6.
22:21Times 75.
22:23450.
22:24Take away 10.
22:25440.
22:27Take away the 8 minus 4 is 5 and then take that away.
22:31Perfect.
22:32Well done.
22:334, 3, 5.
22:34Well done.
22:40Well done, Imogen.
22:41That was the break.
22:42You were looking for 50 plays.
22:4446, you're four ahead as we link to our second tea time teaser,
22:52which is earns high in the clue.
22:54He earns a high wage for singing old songs about corned beef.
22:58He earns a high wage for singing old songs about corned beef.
23:25The answer to that is he's rehashing.
23:34Rehashing, so 50 to 46, Imogen in the lead.

24:53Yes.
24:54Absolutely fine.
24:56Can we match five in the corner there?
24:58Rufus, Susie?
24:58There is a last minute seven.
25:00Oh.
25:01Not one that many of us will probably need, but it's gallipot.
25:05G-A-L-I-P-O-T.
25:07Hardened resin deposits formed on the stem of the maritime pine.
25:12Well, what?
25:14A gallipot.
25:17Thanks for that.
25:18Only one point in it now.
25:20Liz clinging on to a regained lead.
25:23Fifty-one to fifty.
25:25Imogen, your letters came.

26:37Right.
26:38Imogen.
26:38Spiders?
26:40Liz?
26:40Sorry, I think I've made a mistake.
26:43Oh, bad luck.
26:44Wilfus, what have you got?
26:46Tucked away.
26:47Er, well, we had spiders as well, and upsides for seven.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Upsides.
26:53Yes.
26:55So, 57 to 51, Imogen has lengthened the lead now by six points as we turn to Susie and her
27:03wonderful origins of words.
27:05And today, Susie?
27:05Today, I'm going to look back in commemoration of Captain James Cook.
27:11Captain Cook charted the coasts of New Zealand, as we know, explored the east coast of Australia
27:17and claimed them for Britain.
27:20And if you look through the Oxford English Dictionary, you'll find that he gave us some of the earliest,
27:24if not the earliest records of taboo, tattoo, albatross, cannibalized, chocolate, gum, mangrove, and mockingbird.
27:33And because he detailed all of these, all of these kind of words that quite often he encountered
27:38in the indigenous languages of the lands that he visited.
27:41And also, when he went to the east coast of Australia, he, as I said, encountered kind of indigenous languages
27:47that were there, and they were unknown to anyone on the ship, ancient languages, many of them.
27:52And the only prolonged contact that he had was in far north Queensland, where he stayed for two months
27:58to repair his vessel after it nearly broke on the Great Barrier Reef.
28:02And here, Banks and Parkinson, his two colleagues, made lists of words that were used by the people
28:07to describe the everyday things of life.
28:09And they noted, on the endeavour, they noted this extraordinary animal that looked like a greyhound,
28:16but kind of hopped around.
28:17And, of course, that in the local language was kangaroo, and the closest that they could come up with was
28:22kangaroo.
28:23And they took a skin back to England, and it was painted by George Stubbs,
28:26and that's how, really, it became the symbol of a whole new nation.
28:30Oh, interesting.
28:36Thanks, Susie.
28:3751 plays 57, Imogen on 57.

29:52And cloned.
29:53We happy?
29:54Very happy.
29:55Yeah.
29:55What about the corner?
29:57We can clone more sixes with coined and docile, but I don't know that we could condone them.
30:03Which is there for seven.
30:06Well done.
30:07Well done.
30:07And now, Imogen, final letters came for you.
30:11A vowel, please.
30:13Thank you, Imogen.

30:50Bye.
31:06OK.

31:10Bye.
31:11Bye.
31:12Bye.
31:12Bye.
31:13Bye.
31:15Bye.
31:17Yes, Imogen?
31:19A six.
31:20Liz?
31:21Five.
31:22And Liz's five?
31:24Shown.
31:25Imogen?
31:26Wines.
31:27Yes, wines, definitely there.
31:30Well done.
31:30Yeah.
31:31Well done.
31:31Swain, weens, but for seven.
31:35You can put an A in wines, just to give you one more,
31:39and it's Wahinis, Maori or Polynesian women.
31:44Or in surface slang, it's also just a young woman, a wahini.
31:47Oh, well done.
31:48Yeah.
31:48Thanks very much.
31:49So 69, Imogen's built a lead here, 69 to Liz's 57.
31:55And now the final numbers game.
31:57Liz?
31:57Two from the top and any other four, please.
32:00Two from the top four, little.
32:01Your last chance to force the crucial conundrum.
32:04Give that, Liz.
32:04Final numbers are six, seven, four, and another six,
32:09and a large two, 50 and 100.
32:12And this target, 702.
32:14Seven, zero, two.
32:17Six, seven, zero, four, and a large three.
32:20Okay.
32:39Bye.
32:48Yes, Liz.
32:507.02.
32:51I think so. Imogen.
32:527.02.
32:53Let's get the misery over with Liz.
32:567 times 100.
32:58700.
32:59And 6 times 4 is 2.
33:02Add them together.
33:03Say that again.
33:036 minus 4 is 2.
33:056 minus 4.
33:05Add them together.
33:067.02.
33:07Simple.
33:08And Imogen?
33:10Exactly the same.
33:11There we go.
33:12So 79 to 67 means that Imogen has avoided a crucial countdown conundrum, but not the conundrum itself.
33:22Fingers on buzzers, chaps.
33:24Let's roll today's countdown conundrum.
33:35Yes, Liz.
33:37Thatching.
33:39Let's see whether you're right.
33:42Look at that.
33:44Oh.
33:51Well played, Liz Smith.
33:53Well played.
33:54Look at that.
33:55You ended up 77 to 79, but you got the conundrum.
33:59You played very well, and in the lead for a long time as well.
34:02So I hope you enjoyed it today.
34:04I did, yes.
34:05And here's a goodie bag for you to take back to Marple.
34:08With our very best wishes.
34:10And we shall see you not tomorrow, because tomorrow we go into the build-up to the finals,
