00:31Hello, everybody.
00:32It is Wednesday, January the 14th.
00:34Countdown is here to hopefully warm up your winter's day
00:37to keep you company in these shortest of days,
00:40and we love doing it.
00:41Thank you so, so much for tuning in.
00:43Let's head over to the dictionary corner.
00:44Our guardian of the dictionary, Susie Dent, is there.
00:48Hot water bottle and electric blanket on full.
00:52I'm feeling that warmth all this week.
00:54It's the brilliant Mark Durden-Smith.
00:56And keep him warm by standing up is our Rachel Riley.
00:59How are you today?
01:00I'm well, how are you?
01:01I'm great, because today is organise your home day.
01:05So what I'm looking from you is just one, and me, one home tip
01:09that people at home will go, why did I not do that?
01:12Why did I not do that?
01:13Richard, give me a home tip.
01:14Oh, my best home tip for a tidy, organised house,
01:18never have kids.
01:19Don't have kids.
01:20Great advice.
01:22What about you, Susie?
01:24I used to mock my mother so much for having jars of things
01:27that went out of date, and I recently could not fit anything else
01:31in my rice and pulse and straw and stuff,
01:33so I decided to just check all the sell-by dates.
01:36I had something from 2012.
01:38No.
01:39Yes.
01:39So I just threw out...
01:42It was rice.
01:43So I threw out a lot of stuff.
01:44Mark?
01:45I'm not very well qualified for home organisation skills,
01:47but I've always thought if you put a tracker on each sock of a pair...
01:51Yes.
01:52..so you could just look at some app and go,
01:54where is that other sock?
01:55And it hones in and they become a pair.
01:57Goodness me.
01:59Right, let's simply reintroduce our current champion,
02:02Anne-Marie Whitehead, our brilliant baker,
02:04who at one stage was declared the best scone maker in Britain.
02:10Now, we loved your apple crumble cake you brought us.
02:13It was very nice indeed.
02:15So let's see if you can get a second win today.
02:17We all want you to make the end of series final eight
02:20because we'll get more baked goods off you.
02:23You're up against Sean Hawhey, who joins us originally
02:27from Straban in County Toreau, now living in Derry.
02:30How are you, mate?
02:31I'm very good.
02:31Good stuff now.
02:32We've got a proper academic background.
02:34You're a retired primary school teacher.
02:36Oh, I'm a dude, yeah.
02:37Yeah, tell me a bit about that.
02:39Well, I was originally a history and politics A-level teacher.
02:42Brilliant.
02:43For the first eight years of my career,
02:45but I went to the primary school in 1992
02:48and stayed in the same school for 30 years.
02:50So there's loads of people now in their 20s and 30s
02:53watching this going,
02:54oh, my God, there's Mr. Hawhey, he better be great.
02:57And that's where the pressure's coming from.
02:58Yeah, exactly that, exactly that.
03:00I always feel any teacher that comes on
03:02has the pressure of their pupils in former pupils.
03:05Well, let's see how it goes.
03:06Sean and Anne-Marie, best luck to both of you.
03:10Anne-Marie, let's get it.
03:12Consulate, please, Rachel.
03:13Thank you, Anne-Marie.

04:29Yes.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Right, this should be enjoyable. What have you got?
04:33We have an eight, and you don't have many of these, groupies.
04:38And what's the letter? The letter left over is the T,
04:41so I'm assuming you can't be groupiest.
04:43No, you can't.
04:44You have a group set, which I think is some of the stuff you need
04:47for a bicycle, brakes and pedals and things.
04:49And we also have pirogues, which are canoes made out of tree trunks.
04:53Right, not to be mistaken with pierogies.
04:55No, they're dumplings.
04:57Right, Sean, great start for you.

11:57So, you know, the challenge is, Dexter,

12:01We have an eight. We do.
12:02We do. It's undoable.
12:05Ah, yes, very good. Undoable.
12:08Yes.
12:10OK, Anne's off the board.
12:1220 points in it as we move
12:14on to those numbers.
12:16And you're picking them, Sean.
12:17One large, please, Rachel.
12:19Thank you, Sean. Just one large.
12:21Five little filled in by default.
12:24And these small ones.
12:25One, two,
12:27seven, ten,
12:29and two. And the large one, 75.
12:32And the target,
12:33471. 471.
12:35Numbers up.
12:36And the target,
12:38the slice of the ground.
12:39And the fire.
12:44And the target,
12:55the target with the heart.
12:56indeed.
12:57And the target with the.»
13:064-7-1 is what we're looking for here, Sean.
13:09I think a 4-7-4.
13:11Oh, missed it by three, Anne-Marie.
13:13I've got nothing, sorry.
13:15Sean, for seven points.
13:187-1, 6.
13:20Yep.
13:20Times 75 is 450.
13:22450.
13:2310 plus 2 is 12.
13:25Yep.
13:26Plus 2, or sorry, times 2 is 24.
13:29And I add them all.
13:31Three away.
13:33Gets you some points.
13:34But, Rach, you're both having a wee wobble in the numbers here.
13:36So, 4-7-1?
13:38Yes.
13:38With this one, if you say 75 times 2 is 150,
13:43add the 7 for 1-5-7,
13:45and then the second 2 plus 1 is 3,
13:48and times those together, 4-7-1.
13:50Brilliant.
13:52And that is for the 10 points,
13:54but what matters here is Sean extends his lead.
13:57He's eyeing up that teapot.
13:59Take your eyes off it.
14:00We have a long way to go.
14:01We'll see what happens as we pause for our midweek chat
14:04with Mark Durden-Smith.
14:06And we're going to talk about sport today
14:08because that is your expertise,
14:10and that's what you're brilliant at,
14:12and particularly the rugby,
14:13which does take you all over the world, right?
14:16It does.
14:17It does.
14:18From time to time.
14:19Sometimes it's to Leicester.
14:22But more often than not,
14:23depending on who's got the rights and all that kind of stuff.
14:25No, I've had some nice journeys with the game,
14:28with the sport that I've always loved,
14:29always loved it from a child.
14:31The best memory I have, I think,
14:33is when Japan beat South Africa,
14:36the two-times world champions,
14:38in the 2015 World Cup,
14:40and I was only in Brighton for that,
14:41so nothing glamorous,
14:42but it was probably the biggest upset
14:44in Rugby World Cup history.
14:45And I remember standing there thinking,
14:47this is just magical,
14:48the last minute of the game.
14:49You know those dramas
14:50where it's literally on a knife edge
14:52to the final second.
14:53Japan score on the corner,
14:55the whole of the Amex Stadium,
14:57I think it's called now,
14:58went absolutely bonkers.
15:00And I remember we went off there,
15:02so we were sort of reflecting on this incredible story,
15:05this awesome sporting upset.
15:07And I was there with Francois Pinar,
15:10who was one of my pundits,
15:11who picked up the trophy
15:12when they won it in 1995,
15:13you know, Darling of the Rainbow Nation.
15:16George Gregan,
15:17who at that time was Australia's most capped player,
15:19139 caps.
15:21And then we went off air,
15:223, 2, 1, off air,
15:24great show, everybody,
15:25what an amazing moment.
15:26And this enormous human being
15:27walks up to the three of us,
15:29and he's a guy called Kobus Vesa.
15:31He's 6'6", and he's 20 stone.
15:33He's a South African.
15:34He went, I'm so angry,
15:35I just want to hit someone.
15:37And I'm thinking,
15:38well, he's not going to hit Pinar,
15:39and he's not going to hit Gregan.
15:41So I think,
15:43I'm in the firing line here,
15:44so I scarper pretty quickly.
15:45But that day was just magical.
15:47I mean, really,
15:48the idea of the Dave and the Goliath story
15:50we see so often,
15:51it was just that day,
15:53spine-tinglingly awesome.
15:54Great, Mark.
15:55Rugby journeys.
15:56Thank you very much.
15:57APPLAUSE
15:59Back to the game then.
16:01Anne-Marie needs to mount a comeback.
16:03She needs to find a lioness within.
16:05She trails at the moment by 27 points,
16:08but a long road ahead.
16:10Let's go.
16:10Consonant, please.
16:12Rachel.
16:12Thank you, Anne-Marie.
16:13D.
16:14And another.
16:16F.
16:17And another.
16:18K.
16:20A vowel.
16:22O.
16:23Another vowel.
16:25A.
16:26Another vowel.
16:27E.
16:29Consonant.
16:31T.
16:33And a final vowel.
16:36We've got two more spaces.
16:37So I.
16:38And a consonant.
16:40And lastly, C.
16:41Even more letters than you wanted.
16:43Let's go.
16:44We've got two more spaces.
16:46We've got two more spaces.
16:51We've got two more spaces.
16:55We've got two more spaces.
16:59We've got two more spaces.
16:59We've got two more spaces.
17:00We've got two more spaces.
17:00We've got two more spaces.
17:00We've got two more spaces.
17:01We've got two more spaces.
17:02We've got two more spaces.
17:06We've got two more spaces.
17:14Anne-Marie, how many? Six. And for you, Sean? Six as well. Six as well. Excellent.
17:19Points, Anne-Marie? Coated. No worries there, Sean. Ticked. Ticked. Yep, absolutely fine.
17:25We'll tick that off. Points. Good stuff. Primary school teachers are going to get ticked every time.
17:31Right, six points apiece. Dexterity Corner having a good day so far. Can we beat it?
17:36We have a magnificent seven. We do. And here's a fact for you. Factoid.
17:40Oh, factoid is there, yes. Steve Wright always think of it as factoids.
17:44Yes. But actually, the original meaning was unreliable information, not just a little fact.
17:49Oh, OK. But that's how he used it. That's how North Americans use it.
17:53So the original fake news then, the factoid. Yeah. Factoid.
17:56All right, more letters, please. Sean, you're picking.
17:59Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel? Thank you, Sean. L.
18:03And the second one. M.
18:07And a vial.
18:25And here we go.
19:03Sean?
19:04Seven.
19:05Anne-Marie?
19:06Eight.
19:07Oh!
19:08Sean, what's the seven?
19:09Deeming.
19:10Shall we hear what the champ has? Let's find out.
19:12Maligned.
19:13Well spotted.
19:15Excellent.
19:15Yes, good stuff.
19:19Well, maybe it'll be your first maximum of the week. If not, we'll move on.
19:23We've got one more eight.
19:24Yeah.
19:25Takes us back many centuries.
19:26A liegeman.
19:28So someone who owned or owed feudal service to an overlord.
19:33Right.
19:33Third numbers round of the day.
19:35And it's back with Anne-Marie, who's closed the gap to 19 points.
19:38Two from the top, please.
19:39Two from the top.
19:40No sudden moves.
19:41Two from the top, four little.
19:42Let's see if this changes the score line.
19:44Your small numbers are as follows.
19:47Four, eight, nine and two with a large one.
19:5075 and 25.
19:53And you need to reach 551.
19:55Five, five, one.
19:57Numbers up.
19:57Five, five, five, five.
20:28Five, five, one.
20:30Anne-Marie.
20:31Five, four, six, I think.
20:33Five, four, six would be five away.
20:35Sean?
20:36Five, five, zero.
20:37Oh, there you go.
20:38One away to steal the seven points.
20:41Nine minus two, seven.
20:43Yep.
20:44Times 75.
20:45Five, two, five.
20:47Lost 25.
20:47One away.
20:49Now, five, five, one.
20:52I'm going to tell you this, folks.
20:53She didn't even reach for the clipboard.
20:55She didn't even need the 30 seconds.
20:56So, is it obvious?
20:57Not obvious.
20:59One way.
21:00You could say two times four is eight.
21:03Times nine is 72.
21:0572 times eight is 576.
21:09And take away the 25.
21:11Five, five, one.
21:12Brilliant.
21:15Definitely not obvious.
21:17Well done if you got that at home.
21:18Second tea time teaser is herb at all.
21:21Herb at all.
21:23Not a herb at all.
21:24It's a fungus that sounds like a cosmic sport.
21:27Not a herb at all.
21:28It's a fungus that sounds like a cosmic sport.
21:47Hello again.
21:48Listen, eventually when aliens visit us, let's face it, they already have.
21:52We just don't know about it.
21:53But there may be something called Earth Ball interplanetary.
21:57But the fungus means it must be a mushroom.
21:58Yeah, lots of different types.
22:00They are found in Eurasia and North America and they grow on acidic sandy soil.
22:07Hence the name.
22:08There you go.
22:09Thank you very much, Susie.
22:10Six rounds to go.
22:11Sean, one finger on the teapot.
22:12Your letters.
22:14Constance, please.
22:15Rachel.
22:16Thank you, Sean.
22:16P.
22:18Second one.

22:25Again, sorry.

22:30And a consonant.
22:32R.
22:34Another consonant.
22:36T.
22:38Another consonant.
22:41S.
22:43And another consonant.
22:45Lastly, X.
22:47That's a stinker at the end, isn't it?
22:4830 seconds.
22:5030 seconds.
22:54Sean, how many?
22:54The tune of the word is
23:08Sean, how many?
23:20Eight. Well done, Anne-Marie.
23:23Eight. Eight. Same word, let's find out.
23:26Primates. Primates.
23:27Same word, yeah. Stop monkeying around,
23:29pass it over.
23:32Brilliant.
23:33Well done. Eight points.
23:34Can we go beyond that?
23:36We had another eight. I like that one.
23:39Colin must have made a few of those in his youth.
23:41I think so too. Mixtapes.
23:43Brilliant, yes. Not just in the youth.
23:45I used to do it every Thursday night
23:46on Five Live. It was great fun.
23:48Yeah, we did. And we love that, but you can't be a
23:50mixtaper. I can't be a mixtaper, but
23:53also, in case our viewers are wondering,
23:55you can have matrices,
23:57and that will give you another eight.
23:59Matrices or matrixes.
24:01Lovely. Right. Anne-Marie,
24:03you're going to be a memory if you don't change the script
24:05any time soon. Let's go.
24:06Consonant, please. Thank you, Anne-Marie.
24:09S.
24:10And another.

24:19Vowel.
24:21O.
24:22Another vowel.
24:24U.
24:25Another vowel.
24:26I.
24:28Another vowel.
24:30E.
24:31And the final consonant, please.
24:33Final T.
24:34And good luck.
24:36Bye.
25:06Anne-Marie?
25:07Six.
25:08Yeah, Sean?
25:09Also six.
25:10Not easiest round, Anne-Marie?
25:12Wisest.
25:13And for you, Sean?
25:14Sweets.
25:15Sweets, U-S spelling...
25:17S-U-A-T-E-S.
25:18Absolutely fine.
25:19Dixon, Reek Corner, I have confidence in you, I believe in you.
25:22Going to take us beyond the six.
25:24Confidence well placed, Colin.
25:25Yes.
25:26Softies.
25:27Yes.
25:28Nice.
25:29We're all softies.
25:30We are.
25:31Yeah, big softies.
25:33That would have got you seven points.
25:34Twenty-six points, the difference.
25:37Four rounds to go.
25:38Susie, origins of words.
25:40Where are we going today?
25:41Well, Linda Hayes from Bristol is where we're going.
25:45And Linda says,
25:46Reading my book, I came to the sentence,
25:48her head held high, but she was still a ragamuffin.
25:52Susie, do you know the origin of this word, ragamuffin?
25:55And it's actually a lovely example of how names in the dictionary give us our very first record very often
26:05of a particular word.
26:06And so it was with an Isabella ragamuffin who lived in the 14th century who was recorded on the court
26:11rolls.
26:12There was a Richard ragamuffin as well.
26:14So that gives us a clue that the word was already in the ether, but we just don't have a
26:18printed record of it yet.
26:20So the first element is clearly rag, because even medieval times, this was all about poverty or low status.
26:27And the muffin part is a bit mysterious.
26:30So it may have just been there for the sound of it, may come from an unknown dialect word.
26:35We're not completely sure.
26:36But by the 16th century, the end of the 16th century, it started to mean what we think of today.
26:41So a sort of slightly ragged, probably a poor person, a child in tatters, etc.
26:47So Isabella ragamuffin may have been a poor person on the street.
26:51And the word has really softened since then.
26:53So you might find it as an affectionate nickname for a child, you know, come here, you little ragamuffin type
26:58thing.
26:58But, yeah, I've got a sad story in a way.
27:00Thank you, Susie.
27:04All right.
27:05Sean has 60 points, our brilliant challenger from Derry.
27:08And Anne-Marie, our new champion on a crucial countdown conundrum yesterday, is in a little bit of trouble.
27:15Four rounds to go.
27:16Let's see.
27:17It's not over yet.
27:18Sean, your letters.
27:19Consonant, please, Rachel.
27:20Thank you, Sean.
27:21C.
27:22Another consonant.
27:24N.
27:25And a vowel, please.
27:27A.
27:27And another vowel.
27:29O.
27:30And another vowel.
27:31U.
27:32Consonant, please.
27:34G.
27:35And another consonant.
27:37D.
27:38Another consonant.
27:40V.
27:43And a vowel.
27:46Lastly, E.
27:47And countdown.
27:48The.
27:50sam.
27:51The.
28:06And a vowel.
28:19Sean, six. Anne-Marie? Six. Well done, both of you. Sean? Canoed. Canoed. Canoed. Are you canoing as well? I'm
28:28canoing as well.
28:30Two canoes. What else? We did get a seven. Uncaged a seven. Uncaged. And decagon as well. Ten-sided.
28:39Yes, of course. Decagon's there too. Two sevens. But six is a good stab, given those letters. And it means
28:46the gap's still 26. That's all Sean wants to say at the moment. So, Anne-Marie, if there was a
28:51last chance saloon, well, you've got three of them coming up and you need to have a drink in each
28:54one. Start with these letters. Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Anne-Marie. L. And another. W. And another. R. And
29:07another.
29:09S. A vowel. O. Another vowel. A. Another vowel. E. Another vowel. U. And a final consonant, please. Final Y.
29:28And last letters.
29:29S. A vowel.
29:31S. A vowel.
29:31S. A vowel.
29:32S. R. And another.
30:02Six. Six. Sean? Six.
30:05And a six to tick the teapot, Anne-Marie?
30:08Lowers. Lowers is there. Sean?
30:11Sirely. Ooh. Sirely.
30:14I'm sure that will be there as an adverb.
30:16Yeah, absolutely. It is. Well done.
30:20How do we get all those letters?
30:22When Susie came up with this, I thought, Susie doesn't know how to spell.
30:26She's spelt illusory, which is a seven, with an E,
30:29and I thought, I'm sure it's illusory. That was a double L.
30:31It is. Illusory is not that.
30:34No, so this is slightly different.
30:35Illusory is kind of, in the imagination, it's fantasy,
30:38but illusory is the same as elusive.
30:41Ah, there you go. It's hard to catch.
30:43Excellent stuff. Well, you did catch it for a really good seven.
30:47And the elusive, Sean, is our new champion
30:49with two rounds to go, and you're picking these last numbers.
30:54Bit of a victory lap. One large, Rachel?
30:56Just one larger and five little. Coming up.
30:59A little bit of practice, just for fun.
31:02Final numbers today.
31:03Four, eight, three, ten, nine, and the big one, 100.
31:07And the target you need to make, 523.
31:10It's 523, last numbers.
31:12One large message of voice.
31:15Baltimore, three, four.
31:28Another question.
31:29Any other�� saw there ever be parts of the economy.
31:37Another question.
31:37It must be fun at morning and big skipps alone.
31:40Angela Mosh with a terribleiki.
31:425-2-3, Sean.
31:445-2-5.
31:465-2-5, it's two away.
31:48And for Anne-Marie?
31:495-2-0.
31:50Sean, off you go for seven points.
31:53Actually...
31:54..got 5-2-3 on us, declared.
31:56Anne-Marie, let's take the points.
31:588-3 is 5.
32:008-3, 5.
32:02100 plus 4 times 5 is 520.
32:06Yep, 520.
32:09Nice.
32:10That'll get you seven points just to top that score up a bit
32:13as we get 5-2-3 from Rich.
32:15Well, you were on the right track.
32:168-3 is 5, but keep it simple.
32:19Times it by the 100 for 500 and then you have 9, 4 and 10.
32:23Give you the 23.
32:25Yeah, well done.
32:28We've still got ten points to hand out.
32:30Anne-Marie, let's give this everything finger on the buzzer.
32:33You too, Sean, because this will be your first Countdown Conundrum.
33:06No luck anti-demon.
33:09becomes Mark Durden
33:12Smith. I can't believe I've got
33:14this right because I just said, Susie, is it
33:16nominated? She went, tell Colin, is it?
33:18Let's have a look.
33:19There it is.
33:22That was a miracle.
33:23Anne-Marie, listen, you might not be an octo-champ
33:26but you'll always be a champ in my eyes.
33:28Thank you for the apple crumble cake.
33:30You're welcome. And just for just, you know, just bringing
33:31your personality here has been great. So thank you so much.
33:34Thank you. Cheers. And Sean,
33:37switching chairs, there's not
33:38a single kid can make fun of Mr. Hawhey
33:40today. Always tomorrow.
33:42Yes, there's still time.
33:44We'll see what happens. I'm going to see you
33:46for that, MDSSD.
33:47Yeah, see you there. And Rachel, just before we go
33:50on organise your home day,
33:51I've got one more for you that I hope you will like.
33:54And it's something that maybe you have and you go, of course,
33:56but I don't think many people have them.
33:57And it's just a really simple
34:00two pound, three pound thing.
34:01Do you know the little tea bag
34:03holders? So you make your tea and you put
34:05your tea bag on it. And it's a very
34:07old fashioned thing, but I think
34:09they're priceless because your tea stains
34:11your countertops
34:13and I have one. And it's a
34:15real game changer that. Do you have one?
34:17Take your tea bag out, put it in that.
34:19Just put it in the bin. What if your bin's over there?
34:21Just move your bin to a better place.
34:24All right. Glad I brought that up. We'll see you
34:25tomorrow. Same time, same
34:27place from your home to our studio.
34:29We'll be waiting on you. You can count on us.
