00:17Thank you very much
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, how well organised are you?
00:36I read an article the other day about list making, how important it is.
00:40You know, shopping lists, to-do lists, you know those things you stick on the fridge with magnets
00:44to remind you to get the milk in and all the rest of it, which I always forget to do.
00:49But apparently a neuroscientist has decided that we're only ever capable of holding four things in our mind
00:57and therefore lists are very important.
00:59Four things in one's head at the same time.
01:01I struggle with one.
01:03Are you a list maker?
01:05But you can carry a hundred things in your head.
01:07Oh, you need a list and it's quite cathartic when you get to cross something off.
01:11And I am one of those people that put stuff on the list that they've already done
01:14just so you can feel like you've made progress.
01:16You don't.
01:17Yeah, but I find that you feel worried and, you know, if you've got lots of things to do
01:21and it's going through your head as you go to sleep, you can just write them all down.
01:24It's kind of quite liberating and you can worry about them tomorrow, especially when it comes
01:27to Christmas present shopping lists.
01:29Well, that's kind of beautiful.
01:30He always forgets someone and goes on the bottom.
01:32I hope my name's there somewhere, Rachel.
01:34It's being added right after the show.
01:36All right.
01:37I tell you, we have got one terrific player with us.
01:41We've got Bradley Horrocks is back and he's just three great wins, three centuries.
01:46We wish you all the best, but it gets tougher as time goes on.
01:49But you've been an absolute revelation.
01:51And you're joined, Bradley, by Laurie Dyer, a retired police officer from Hebden Bridge.
01:57You're involved in a Springer Spaniel rescue charity.
02:01In fact, you've written a book called Rescue Me.
02:03Now, it's a fundraising book.
02:05Can you explain to me the basics of this charity?
02:08Five years ago, I adopted our own dog, a dog called Dolly.
02:13And thinking of ways to try and raise money and awareness for the charity, I decided to write a book.
02:18Now, the book is Through the Eyes of the Dog.
02:21OK.
02:22It's a little escapade she gets up to.
02:24Some are made up, of course.
02:25Well, they're very keen, aren't they, Springer Spaniels?
02:27They're really desperate.
02:29And they love life.
02:30And they're often...
02:31They're very active dogs.
02:32Fantastic.
02:33Big round of applause, then, for Bradley and Laurie.
02:40And Susie's over in the corner, as indeed is Dr Linda Papadopoulos,
02:45who's been such a pleasure.
02:46It's the first outing, as it were, for Countdown.
02:50Are you enjoying it?
02:51So much.
02:52Amazing.
02:52And just watching how clever everyone is on this, just...
02:55Wow.
02:55You've been brilliant, Bradley.
02:56I look forward to seeing how you play as well.
02:58Well, you've been speaking to us with great clarity.
03:01It's been a joy having you here.

04:31Yeah. Very good. Any of us? Can we even match it, I wonder? Linda and Susie?
04:35Well, Bradley, you might kick yourself. You can put an N on the end of rosaria and have rosarian. It's

06:19Mm-hm.
06:20Yeah, and goriness is actually there for eight.
06:23Oh, wow.
06:24And that's really good.
06:26Well done, you two.
06:27Fourteen plays seven, and Bradley.
06:29First numbers game.
06:31Can I have the bottom row, please?
06:32You can, indeed.
06:34The bottom six little ones coming up for you, Bradley.
06:36And for the first time today, your numbers are...
06:39Ten.
06:41Five.
06:42Two.
06:43One.
06:44And four.
06:45And the target, 842.
06:48842.
07:20Bradley?
07:21Eight, four, one.
07:22One away.
07:23How did Laurie get on?
07:24No.
07:25Not for me.
07:25No.
07:27Bradley?
07:28Five times two.
07:30Five twos are ten.
07:32Plus four.
07:32Plus four, 14.
07:34Times by ten and six.
07:36Times by ten and six for 840.
07:38Mm, and then add one.
07:40And you are one away.
07:41841.
07:42Very good.
07:43Very good, but not quite perfect.
07:45Is it possible to be perfect, Rachel?
07:48Um, I finally had something to do.
07:50Quite pleased about that.
07:51If you say ten plus four is 14.
07:55Times by six is 84.
07:58And then times that by five for 420.
08:01Add the one for four, two, one.
08:04And times it by two, you get 842.
08:07Right, brilliant.
08:08Very good.
08:10So, Bradley on 21, Laurie on seven,
08:13as we turn to our first tea time teaser,
08:15which is Ray's tips and the clue.
08:17The tarts on offer raise a lot of tips for the cake maker.
08:21The tarts on offer raise a lot of tips for the cake maker.
08:39Welcome back.
08:40I left with the clue.
08:41The tarts on offer raise a lot of tips for the cake maker.
08:45And the cake maker would be the pâtissier.
08:48The pâtissier.
08:49So, Susie, pâtissier.
08:50This is to do with pastry, is it?
08:51It is, yes.
08:52Pact in French is pastry.
08:54That's somebody who works with pastry simply.
08:56So, 21 plays seven.
08:58And we turn now to, uh, Laurie.

12:57so
13:15Well, Laurie?
13:163 or 7.
13:17Yes, and Bradley?
13:193 or 7.
13:20And Laurie?
13:214 minus 1 is 3.
13:22Yep.
13:23Times 100.
13:24300.
13:24Plus the 7.
13:25Save the rainforest for this one.
13:26There we go.
13:27And Bradley?
13:27The same method?
13:29Yeah.
13:30Nice.
13:31Nice.
13:34So, just 7 points in it as we turn to Dr Linda.
13:38You wrote your PhD on?
13:42Psychodermatology.
13:43Right.
13:44So this kind of, it's a big long word for something,
13:47it's actually really close to my heart.
13:48So, my cousin, who's like my sister, I'm very close to,
13:52developed a skin condition when she was a young teenager called Didyligo
13:56with a deep pigmentation disorder.
13:58So she's got quite Mediterranean skin like me.
14:00So you can imagine what that looked like when you have white patches.
14:03And it really affected me as a youngster because I saw how it affected her.
14:07It affected how confident she was.
14:10It affected how she felt about herself.
14:11So when I went off to study, I thought, I want to look at the impact of the way we
14:16look
14:16on the way we feel.
14:17But interestingly enough, while I was doing my studies, I began to keep hearing stories
14:22and reading research and to speak to people.
14:24And they would say things like, well, my condition started after my partner died
14:28or after a traumatic divorce.
14:30So it seemed to me that the way you think, the way that you manage stress
14:34can have a profound effect on your health and, in particular, your skin.
14:38So for many years now, that's an area I've been involved in.
14:42And actually, one of my doctoral students years ago, we put her in a dermatology unit
14:48at a hospital and waiting times fell by six months because people were able to recognize
14:54that my anxiety and my eczema, for example, are related.
14:58So maybe if I can manage my stress, maybe if I can use behavioral techniques,
15:01it can actually affect it.
15:03And then you kind of set up, instead of a vicious circle, a positive circle.
15:06So instead of, I'm stressed, my skin gets worse, so I become more stressed,
15:10so my skin gets worse, you break that.
15:12And, you know, you work on the stress so your skin gets better,
15:14so you feel more in control of the stress, and it sets up a virtuous cycle.
15:18Thanks, John.
15:19Very good.
15:26Brady, 38 place, 31.
15:27Bradley, narrowly in the lead.
15:30And now, Bradley, it's your letters game.

16:49How are you spelling that?
16:50R-O-W-T-H-I-E-S.
16:53Bradley, it's there in the singular, because it's an adjective,
16:57so R-O-W-T-H-Y or I-E as you're spelling it,
16:59meaning plentifully supplied with something abundant,
17:02but not an hour, I'm afraid.

21:35I left with the clue.
21:37His desire to get as much money as possible
21:38was insatiable.

21:44Greediest.

25:12While we listen to your origins of words.
25:15Well, a couple of viewers have emailed in, including Anne and John Berry,
25:20to ask what we're doing when we beat about the bush.
25:22Why do we beat about the bush?
25:24And English is full of hunting metaphors.
25:27It's a highly important aristocratic pursuit, whether or not we agree with it nowadays.
25:32But to beat about the bush is from hunting, from birds hunting, in fact.
25:36And it is simply, as you might guess, some of the participants rousing the birds
25:40by beating the bushes and causing them to fly off so that others can catch the quarry in nets.
25:47And, of course, today, still, grass hunting and other forms of hunt still use this method of beating,
25:51and they have beaters.
25:54It drew me on to red herring, because red herring has been, I suppose, inevitably,
26:00one of the main sources of red herring's an etymology throughout the ages.
26:04We've never been quite sure where it comes from, and there have been so many guesses.
26:07But we think we have now cracked it.
26:09It goes back to William Cobbett, who is a radical journalist, hated the English political system,
26:16which he lampooned and called the old corruption.
26:19He was deeply out of love with politics of hysterics in the 19th century,
26:24and he wrote a story, perhaps fictional, we're not sure,
26:28in a political weekly about how, as a boy,
26:30he had managed to deflect hounds from chasing a hare by dragging a red herring,
26:36i.e. a highly smoked herring, across the trail.
26:39The reason he told this story is he wanted to use it as a metaphor to really give the press
26:45a hard time,
26:46because they'd allowed themselves to be misled by false information about a supposed defeat of Napoleon,
26:53a different one to the one we know,
26:54which made the press take their eye off very important domestic matters.
26:59And he said that they had deliberately created this red herring in order to deflect interest in what was really
27:06going on at home.
27:07And, of course, we talk about political red herrings to this day,
27:09and the phrase simply slipped into the mainstream from there.
27:12Oh, very good.
27:19Two points in it.
27:20Laurie, I'm just trading by two points, and it's Laurie's letters game.

30:44Could I have two large, four little, please?
30:46You can indeed, Laurie.
30:47Two large, four little, the last all-important numbers game.
30:51And they are...
30:52Eight, three, four, five.
30:56And the large one's 75 and 100.
30:59And the target to reach 922.

32:03Your maths saved you.
32:05Amazing.
32:0682-70 as we go into the final round.
32:08So, fingers on buzzers.
32:11Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:44Bradley?
32:46I'll try a gentling.
32:48Let's see whether you're right.
32:50No.
32:51Bad luck.
32:53Down to you, Laurie.
32:58Hardly fair, that was it.
33:00Now, in the audience, we're foxed up here,
33:02but who in the audience will take it on?
33:05Who'll crack this conundrum?
33:08No.
33:08I see a movement to my...
33:10Yes, Rachel?
33:11Is it negligent?
33:12Let's see whether you're right.
33:15Negligent.
33:16Oh, well done.
33:17Well done.
33:21Well done, Rachel.
33:22Now, Bradley, you came through.
33:25Just.
33:25Wow.
33:26He's a great player.
33:27I'll come back to you in a second, Bradley,
33:28because I think Laurie Dye is a great player.
33:30Played like a master, because you held him right back.
33:33This is the young chap that scored over 100 every time.
33:35He's been out three times.
33:36He's now on four wins.
33:37You held him back to 82.
33:40And only then because of his maths, really.
33:42He does.
33:42He's very well.
33:43Well, you know, congratulations on that performance.
33:47Take this goodie bag back to Hebden Bridge.
33:49Good luck with your Spring Espanol charity.
33:51Real pleasure.
33:52And we shall see you tomorrow.
33:53So, hmm, four wins.
33:56Tough, isn't it?
33:57Getting tough now.
33:58Yeah.
33:59All right.
33:59Well, well done, anyway.
34:01Well done.
34:01See you tomorrow.
34:02And we'll see Linda and Susie tomorrow also.

34:05We look forward to that.
34:06Of course we do.

34:10Yeah, I finally had something to do.
34:11I knew the day would come one day.
34:13Yeah.
34:14Nice to be needed.
34:15He's pretty strong on the maths, that's for sure.
34:17He's very, very good.
34:18All right.
34:18See you tomorrow.
34:19Thank you tomorrow.
