00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:32Now, it's the last day of November and therefore tomorrow sort of Christmas begins in a sense
00:37and it's day one with the advent calendar.
00:41In the old days, of course, you opened one and there was something in there.
00:45Nowadays, Rachel, apparently, and I'm reading this because I don't know personally,
00:50but it's not just chocolates.
00:51You can get whole sets, you can get cosmetics, you can get all sorts of more and more and more
00:57extravagant things behind every little door.
01:01Are you still happy with the chocolate or do you want a diamond behind each door?
01:05A diamond today, that would be quite nice.
01:07But what are you going to get on Christmas Day if that's the advent calendar?
01:10No, you're right.
01:11They do wine ones and they do beer.
01:15I'd be happy with just a Countdown Numbers game a day.
01:18Simple things.
01:19I think we could probably organise that for you.
01:22Now, here we are.
01:23Bradley's back.
01:25Bradley's back.
01:26Bradley Horrocks, student from Bolton, a maths student.
01:29And really, he's frustrated Rachel a bit because he's only slipped up a couple of times.
01:36So you've had a bit of a sort of slack time.
01:38Not had much to do.
01:39Garcia Bradley.
01:41But there we are.
01:42He's back and on form, breaking through the 100 barrier every time, bar one.
01:47And the thing is, he's on five wins.
01:50Yes.
01:50Brilliant.
01:51Well done.
01:51Well done, Bradley.
01:52You're welcoming Leah Holroyd today, a freelance educational designer from Frinton-on-Sea who's
01:59worked all over the world, Australia, Germany and Mongolia.
02:02Now, two questions.
02:04First of all, educational design.
02:08So you're working on online material.
02:10Is this the point?
02:11That's right.
02:12Yeah.
02:12So I work with different organisations, universities, publishers, that kind of thing to try and build
02:18online learning that's hopefully interesting and stimulating and that people actually learn
02:24from.
02:24And when you were travelling, you were taking that, you were working in that sector whilst
02:29travelling?
02:30Some of it.
02:31So when I was in Australia, I was working for a university as an educational designer.
02:36Mongolia was a bit different.
02:37I'd just got my degree, wasn't really sure what I wanted to do.
02:41So a friend and I just packed our bags and set off and we went to Mongolia for a month
02:45and did work experience with a TV company there.
02:48That must have been interesting.
02:50It was incredible.
02:50How's your Mongolian?
02:52Or is it Chinese?
02:53A bit iffy.
02:54No, Mongolian, yeah.
02:56They used the Cyrillic alphabet.
02:59Not very fluent in Mongolian, but it was a great experience.
03:02We drove around in a news van.
03:05You know, we went and filmed in the desert.
03:07We stayed with a nomadic family.
03:09It was, yeah, it was incredible.
03:10It's a very different place, isn't it?
03:12I went once and it's a different planet.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Brilliant though.
03:17Brilliant.
03:18Let's have a big round of applause for Lear and Bradley.
03:28And there's Susie.
03:31And there also is Dr Linda Papadopoulos, who's been with us for the last four days.
03:36And it's been a real pleasure.
03:39A real pleasure.
03:40And there's more to come.
03:41And then before we let you out of the studio at the end of the day,
03:45you'll have to sign a promise to come back and see us again too.
03:48Oh, absolutely.
03:49I've had the best time.
03:50It's been great.
03:51It's been great for us.
03:52Now, Bradley, letters again.
03:54Hi, Rachel.
03:55Hi, Bradley.
03:56Can I have a vowel, please?
03:57Start today with I.
04:00And a consonant.
04:02F.
04:03And a vowel.
04:05E.
04:06And a consonant.
04:08V.
04:10And a vowel.
04:12U.
04:12Another vowel.

04:16A consonant.
04:18N.
04:19A consonant.
04:21M.

05:02Seven.
05:03Leah?
05:04Just a five.
05:05And that five?
05:06Found.
05:08Found.
05:09Unmoved.
05:10Unmoved.
05:10He remained unmoved.
05:12Very, very good.
05:13Now, Linda and Susie?
05:14Yeah, that's what we've got as well, unmoved.
05:17Unmoved.
05:17Anything else?
05:18No, that was our seven.
05:19It'll do seven points to Bradley.
05:21And Leah, your letters game.
05:23Hi, Rachel.
05:23Hi, Leah.
05:24Can I start with a consonant?
05:25Start with...
05:26G.

06:39Very good.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Any more eights, Linda, Susie?
06:43We got a nine.
06:44We got magnetist.
06:46Oh, wow.
06:47A magnetist.
06:49APPLAUSE
06:53And how does that work?
06:55A magnetist is an expert in magnetism, both in the physics sense, if you like, in terms
07:02of attraction, and perhaps in physical attraction as well, I'm not sure, but it can also mean
07:07a mesmerist.
07:09Oh, as in mesmerising.
07:11Mesmerising.
07:1315 plays eight, Bradley on 15, Bradley's numbers game.

09:05I'm left with the clue.

13:16And 760. Let's hear from you first, then, Bradley.

13:2175 times nine, 675.
13:24Seven times five.
13:26Seven times five, 35.
13:28Add the Tom.
13:29710.
13:31And then add 50.
13:32And you are one away, 760.
13:35Pretty good. But 761, Rachel? Possible?
13:38Yes, this one was possible.
13:40If you say 7 minus 5 is 2.
13:43And then 8 divided by 2 is 4.
13:46Add it to the 75 for 79.
13:48Times that by 9 for 711.
13:51And then you can add the 50 for 761.
13:54Well done.
13:59Perfect, as ever.
14:01So, Bradley on 46, Leah 15.
14:03As we turn to Linda.
14:05And Linda, do you want to talk about the dangers online, particularly where young people are concerned, I think?
14:11Yeah.
14:12So, I finished a book recently called Unfollow.
14:16And one of the things that I looked at was identity formation.
14:19Now, identity is a really interesting thing, right?
14:22Because it's a thing that makes us different.
14:24But it's also something that binds us together.
14:26So, when we normally form it, what we do is we kind of try and figure out who we are.
14:30And then we hold it up to people around us.
14:32And people then reflect back and kind of say, well, I see that.
14:34Now, up until very recently, who would we hold it up to?
14:37Our parents, our friends, our teachers.
14:40So, people that kind of knew us.
14:42That had a vested interest in kind of forming us, reflecting back.
14:47Nowadays, young people are holding up these identities, are trying to develop to people they don't know, to the online
14:54world.
14:54And as a consequence, what we're finding is a sort of crowdsourcing of identity.
14:59So, instead of the important work of figuring out who am I, because a strong identity, and we know this,
15:04is what allows us to come out of our comfort zone.
15:07It allows us to take risks.
15:08It allows us to feel a sense of entitlement over what we believe in.
15:12But if we're not forming it properly, if we're crowdsourcing it, if the question we're trying to answer is, who
15:19do you want me to be, as opposed to who am I really, then there's a real problem.
15:24And I think this is one of the things that I look at a lot.
15:27I'm an ambassador for Internet Matters, which helps parents understand their children's behavior online.
15:34And we often look at issues, not just around sort of cyberbullying, but kind of these sort of deeper issues
15:40of what does it mean to be told that who you really are is not enough.
15:46So, I would urge, I guess, parents and kids out there to, you know, by all means, the online world
15:52is great and it's here to stay.
15:53But sometimes unfollowing what everyone wants you to be is not a bad idea.
15:58Well said.
15:59Well said.
16:01Thank you very much.
16:05Good sense.
16:06Good sense.
16:0746 to 15, Bradley's in the lead here.
16:11And we turn now to Bradley.

17:28Now, Linda and Susie, anything else?
17:30Just probate, yeah.
17:32Yeah, by the way, to be down to the six.
17:34It's like borate, which is a chemical salt.
17:36Almost preferable to probate.

21:13Yeah.
21:14Great pun.
21:15Yeah.
21:16Number of plants with star-like flowers or leaves.
21:19And apparently the young leaves of the common star warts are edible, either raw or cooked.
21:23Very good.

22:57We found tripod as another six.
23:00Yes.
23:01Anything else?
23:02No, just reminding me that potpourri originally meant putrid pot,

24:15Yes, Bradley?
24:16Try nine.
24:19Good man.
24:19Leah?
24:20Just a seven.
24:21And that seven?
24:22Notable.
24:23Notable, now then.
24:24Well, I've got un-notable.
24:27And you're in luck, Bradley.
24:28Yes, it's in the dictionary.
24:29Very, very good.
24:35Good man.
24:38That heaps the points on.
24:40That really does.
24:40And in the corner?
24:42We did the same thing, notable and then un-notable.
24:45Un-notable, too.
24:46Well done.
24:47So, Susie, off we go on one of your wonderful Origins of Words travels.
24:54Well, I talked quite recently about the enmity between the English and the Dutch,
24:58which has resulted in all sorts of rather unflattering idioms to do with the Dutch,
25:02including Dutch courage.
25:03But, in fact, we do owe an awful lot to the Dutch in a good way,
25:07because they gave us so many words that have come into our language
25:10and which have lost their Dutch ancestry,
25:12mostly because of the way that we pronounce them.
25:15So, just to give you a bit of example,
25:16if I asked you, is your boss a bit gruff?
25:19Maybe he's a bit prone to snooping.
25:22Or you might want to go for a booze cruise on his yacht.
25:25That contains at least half a dozen words that came over from the Netherlands.
25:30The boss of all Dutch words probably is the boss.
25:33It's from their word bus, meaning master.
25:35It travelled into the USA at the beginning of the 19th century,
25:39and it was very much restricted to workman's slang.
25:41So, it wasn't used at all in the current modern context until quite recently.
25:47But if he is addicted to snooping, he's not actually spying, as we might think today.
25:52The original meaning of snoop, from the Dutch snoop,
25:56was to eat on the sly by sneaking bits of food out
26:00and eating them when no-one was looking,
26:02something kids like to do all the time.
26:04I mentioned booze.
26:06Very, very much a Dutch word, where it meant to drink to excess.
26:09It was spelt rather differently, as you might imagine.
26:13And your booze of choice might be brandy.
26:16That was originally brandy wine from the Dutch brandjeveen,
26:19which was burnt wine.
26:21Burning because when you burn the alcohol off,
26:22and it condenses back as brandy, basically, some strong alcohol.
26:28Gin is flavoured with juniper berries,
26:31and it was traditionally made in the Netherlands,
26:34so we have them to thank for our gin and tonics as well.
26:36In the early 18th century, it was spelt Geneva, G-E-N-E-V-E-R,
26:40to do with juniper, but because people associated it
26:43with the Swiss city, it was called Holland's Geneva instead.
26:47So for a long time, if you wanted a gin and tonic,
26:50you would ask for a Holland's and a tonic.
26:52Many, many words to do with the sea and sailing,
26:55perhaps because of all the Dutch wars that went on on the sea,
26:58travelled across the North Sea to Britain.
27:01I mentioned cruise.
27:02That comes from nowhere, to cross.
27:03And a yacht ship was a fast pirate ship originally,
27:08and we get yacht from there.
27:10And finally, words for items of food.
27:12Now, you might think that a cookie is quintessentially American,
27:14but in fact, it started off as the Dutch koekje,
27:17which was a little cake,
27:19and that's how it travelled into English originally,
27:22before it became the biscuit that we know today.
27:25Cabbage salad, coleslaw, of course,
27:27and gherkin also.
27:29But probably my favourite is a bumpkin,
27:32because in Dutch, a bumpkin is a little tree or a little barrel,
27:36and either way, it began as an insult
27:37for a short, stout, rather dumpy man.
27:47Wonderful.
27:47I'm delighted to hear where yacht came from,
27:50because it's such an improbable word, isn't it?
27:53Yacht.
27:53It is, the spelling, yes.
27:54Pirate ship.
27:56Excellent.
27:56And a fast one at that.
27:5888 plays 28,
27:59and it is Leah's letters game.

29:08Lear?

29:10A seven, Bradley?
29:11Seven, not written down.
29:13What is it, Bradley?
29:14Leuters.
29:16And Lear?
29:17Leuters.
29:18Well, that's as well we heard about that.
29:21And Linda?
29:22Um, we got idoliser, idoliser, which would be an eight.
29:28Excellent.
29:32Excellent.
29:34So, Bradley, letters game, final one.
29:37Nudging 100 again.
29:39Good luck.
29:40Vowel, please.
29:41Thank you, Bradley.

30:51Ratia and Leah?
30:52And Katia.
30:55Yes, very good.
30:56Ratia and Katia.
30:57Anything else?
30:58Can we beat it?
30:58We got erotica for seven, but we also got an eight.
31:03Yes.
31:04If you scale back a little bit from retroactive, you can have retroact, and that would give
31:11you an eight.
31:11The example here is the new patent would retroact on them and expose them to penalties.
31:16I see.
31:22Retroact.
31:22An eight indeed.
31:24Leah, final numbers game to you.
31:27One big and five small, please.
31:28Thank you, Leah.
31:29One from the top row.
31:30Five little ones to finish the day.
31:32And this final numbers game is six, eight, three, ten, nine, and one hundred.
31:41And the target, three hundred and twenty-five.
31:44Three, two, five.
31:47Three, two, five.
32:15We have to do it.
32:15And this is a movie.
32:17Yes, Leah?
32:18Nope.
32:19No. How about Bradley?
32:22325.
32:23325. Bang on. Yes?
32:26100 times 3.
32:28100 times 3, 300.
32:3110 add 9, add 6.
32:33Yep. Well done, 325.
32:35Well done.
32:40Good score again, Bradley. My word, you are a power.
32:43As we go into the final round, fingers on buzzers, Leah and Bradley.
32:48Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:54Bradley.
32:55Liquidate.
32:57Liquidate.
32:58No sooner does it roll, then he sees it.
33:02Yes. Here we go. Liquidate.
33:11Highest score yet?
33:13One, two, two. Fantastic.
33:15Oh, Leah Holroyd.
33:16I know.
33:17He's good.
33:18He's not bad, is he?
33:19He's one of the best.
33:20He's got six now.
33:22And, I mean, really, he had a very bad time when he failed to get 100 the other day.
33:29I know. I felt sorry for him.
33:31So, listen, thank you so much for coming.
33:34And you take this goodie bag back to Frinton-on-Sea.
33:37And, with our very best wishes, travel safely.
