00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34I read the other day a most extraordinary story.
00:3717 years ago, a young couple decided they'd take a sort of, you know, little trip.
00:42And they're still travelling.
00:4417 years later, Rachel, they're now family.
00:47They've got children, and they're just travelling, travelling, travelling, relying on the kindness of strangers.
00:54And, of course, you know, we're always so suspicious about people in different countries.
00:59Oh, no, you mustn't go here. You mustn't go there. They're very dangerous in South America.
01:02The truth of the matter is that people, generally speaking, are incredibly kind wherever you go.
01:08And I remember I once got myself into very deep trouble in the scrub, horrid deserts of Kazakhstan.
01:17What had happened was that I'd driven at speed over a huge hole in the road, which had a very
01:23sharp edge to it, and I'd written off two wheels.
01:27And I'll be very quick about this.
01:28Suddenly, a jeep pulled up, and a big chap with a big beard got out, got a big hammer out
01:34of his jeep, and he hit the wheels back into shape perfectly.
01:38And he gave me a big hug.
01:40I gave him $50.
01:43And we both parted, each thinking we were the luckiest people on earth.
01:47But he was a guardian angel.
01:49Have you ever had a sort of a guardian angel?
01:52No, I probably, on the other end of the spectrum, I remember being in London, and I'd forgotten my phone
01:55for a day, about to meet someone, and no-one would lend me their phone.
01:59Because, obviously, I looked so...
02:00You know, it's...
02:01Yeah, it's nice to go somewhere like that and have an absolute brilliant experience with someone you've never met.
02:06Don't even speak their language, and they could easily have left you.
02:08But in London, it could be a bit trickier.
02:10All right.
02:11Now, who have we got with us?
02:13Rachel, we have Bradley Horrocks back with us.
02:15Big day, Bradley.
02:16Hope you have a quiet weekend.
02:18I did, yes.
02:18No carousing.
02:19Definitely not.
02:20Because you've got seven wins.
02:21Today's the big day.
02:22Brilliant stuff.
02:23Now, you're up against Luke O'Reilly, an advertising copywriter from Dublin.
02:28Took up golf.
02:29Of course, the Irish, well, they love their golf.
02:31We do.
02:31But you took it only last year.
02:33I did.
02:34I kind of committed to it in January.
02:35And I've been playing as much as I can since.
02:38And apparently, you're on a handicap of 17 or 18, obviously.
02:41I was on 17 when I filled out the form to come on here, but I'm back up to 18
02:45now, so.
02:45That's not bad in a year, is it?
02:47No, it's not bad.
02:48Yeah, I'm enjoying it.
02:49Well, good luck to you.
02:50Good luck to you both.
02:51Let's have a big round of applause for Luke and Bradley.
02:57And Susie's over there.
02:59Welcome back, Susie.
03:00And Richard Madeley, of course, writer, broadcaster, you know, been around a long time.
03:06Window cleaner.
03:07And still looks 27 years old.
03:08Ha ha, as if.
03:09Amazing.
03:10All right.
03:11As if.
03:11More from you later.
03:12Richard, now then.
03:13Bradley.
03:14Off we go.
03:15Hi, Rachel.
03:16Hi, Bradley.
03:16Can I have a vowel, please?
03:17You can, indeed.
03:18Start the week with E.
03:20And a consonant.

03:23And a vowel.

04:18A seven. Luke?
04:20Risky seven.
04:21Bradley?
04:21Recited.
04:22Now, Luke?
04:24Erotics?
04:26Refer that to Susie.
04:28No, not there with the S, I'm afraid, Luke. Sorry.
04:31Bad luck. What can we have now? Richard?
04:33A couple of eights here we've got.
04:36Escorted. Escorted. And coteries.
04:40Coteries?
04:40Yes.
04:41Very good.
04:45Coteries. So, good start for Bradley there.
04:47Now, Luke, letters for you.
04:49Hi, Rachel. How are you?
04:50Hi, Luke.
04:51I'll start with a consonant, please.
04:54Right, lovely. It will start with T.

05:29We'll see you next time.
05:29We'll see you next time.

05:58Six.
05:59And Bradley?
06:00I'll go with seven.
06:01Luke.
06:02Savant.
06:03And...
06:03Can you have it on mate?
06:06You can.
06:08Yes, to deprive someone of a mate.
06:10Very good.
06:11And Savant, Savant, very, very good, too.
06:14You could have put the E on to have the female version.
06:17Savant.
06:18Get you on further.
06:20I'd like...
06:20Richard?
06:21I'd like it the same as you.
06:22I just had Savant without the E.
06:24Of course.
06:26I know.
06:27So annoying.
06:27Happens all the time, Susie.
06:30What have you got?
06:30That was the best, actually.
06:32Otherwise, Vaughn's their six.
06:34Fourteen plays.
06:35Well, Luke yet to score, but loads of time for that.
06:38Bradley, how about a numbers game?
06:39I'll have the usual for the first pick, so...
06:41The usual?
06:42The bottom roll, please.
06:42All the bottom.
06:44Six little ones.
06:45Thank you, Bradley.
06:46And the first one of this week is ten.
06:49One.
06:50Three.
06:51Another one.
06:53Five.
06:54And seven.
06:54And the target, 469.
06:58469.
06:59One.
07:00Two.
07:12Two.
07:16Two.
07:31Yes, Bradley.
07:324, 6, 9.
07:33And Luke?
07:34Nowhere near.
07:35No?
07:36Down to you.
07:37Down to Bradley.
07:3810 plus 3.
07:3910 plus 3.
07:4013.
07:41Times by 5.
07:4265.
07:43Add the two 1s.
07:44Add the two 1s for 67.
07:46And times by 7.
07:47And the product of two primes.
07:48Everyone's favourite.
07:494, 6, 9.
07:50There we go.
07:514, 6, 9.
07:54Well done, Bradley.
07:56So, let's have a tea time teaser.
07:58First of the day, it's Penny Glut.
08:01And the clue?
08:02You make a play on words very mildly, but it reeks like this.
08:06You make a play on words very mildly, but it reeks like this.
08:28Welcome back.
08:29I lift you with the clue.
08:30You make a play on words very mildly, but it reeks like this.
08:37Pungently.
08:38Reeks pungently.
08:40My word.
08:42So, Bradley on 24.
08:43Luke gets a score, but there's still plenty of time for that, Luke.
08:46Try this letters game.
08:48OK, I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
08:50Thank you, Luke.
08:51S.
08:52And we'll go again.
08:55Z.
08:56And another.
08:58T.
08:59And another.
09:01B.
09:03And a vowel, please.
09:05E.
09:06And another.
09:08I.
09:09And another.
09:12A.
09:14And one more, please.
09:17O.
09:18And a consonant, please.
09:20And lastly, M.
09:22Stand by.
09:23I'll see you next time.
09:24Bye.
09:25Bye.
09:36Bye.
09:39Bye.
09:44Bye.
09:45Bye.
09:49Bye.
09:52Bye.
09:53Bye.
09:53Bye.
09:54Yes, Luke.
09:55I'm going to go for a risky seven.
09:57A seven and...
09:59Eight.
09:59And an eight.
10:01Luke.
10:02Maziest.
10:03Bradley.
10:04Atomizes.
10:06Atomizes.
10:07Oh, God.
10:10Very serious player.
10:11Now.
10:12Well, nowhere close to atomizers.
10:13You're incredible.
10:15I went from beast to boaties, but I'm not sure that the boaty-mate boatface sort of route works.
10:20Boaties.
10:20Yeah.
10:20Boat enthusiasts are boaties.
10:22Oh.
10:22Yeah, that's very good.
10:23All right.
10:24And mazius is also fine.
10:26Mazie can mean labyrinthine, or it can mean confused or dizzy in dialects as well.
10:31So, 32 points for Bradley.
10:33Now, letters for you, Bradley.
10:36Vowel, please.
10:37Thank you, Bradley.
10:38A.
10:39And a consonant.
10:41D.
10:42And a vowel.
10:44U.
10:45Consonant.
10:47P.
10:48Vowel.
10:50E.
10:51Consonant.
10:53T.
10:55T.
10:55Vowel.
10:56I.
10:58Consonant.
10:59N.
11:00And a consonant, please.
11:02And lastly, R.
11:04Countdown.
11:05T.
11:06T.
11:08T.
11:08T.
11:08T.
11:09T.
11:21hacemos it.
11:22T.
11:23T.
11:35Yes, Bradley? Nine.
11:37A nine. Wouldn't you know it.
11:40Luke?
11:43Seven.
11:44Not bad. And your seven?
11:47Puritan.
11:48Mr Horrocks?
11:49Unpirated.
11:51Yes.
11:52Well done. It's in.
11:54Amazing.
11:59That's so unfair on Luke. He comes up with great words.
12:02And the youngest Horrocks comes in with a nine.
12:05Now, any more nines?
12:07As if.
12:08Did you get one?
12:09There is one. Not nearly as nice as Unpirated.
12:12It's very rare. It's repudiant.
12:15Repudiant. So R-E-P-U-D-I-A-N-T.
12:19And it's a rejection of something. It's all to do with repudiation.
12:23Thank you. Thank you.
12:25So, numbers. We're with the numbers now.
12:28And it's Luke's numbers game. Good luck, Luke.
12:30OK, Rachel, I'll go for two large and four small.
12:33Two large, four small, and that's definitely ten points in this one.
12:36Thank you, Luke.
12:37Right, they are seven, one, ten, five.
12:42And the big ones, 25 and 50.
12:44And your target, 602.
12:476-0-2.
12:496-0-2.
12:546-0-2.
13:19Yes, Luke?
13:216-0-2.
13:226-0-2. And Bradley?
13:246-0-2.
13:25Luke?
13:277 plus 1 is 8.
13:29Yep.
13:3050 plus 25 is 75.
13:32It is.
13:32Multiply those together.
13:34Well, 600.
13:35And then 10 divided by 5 is 2 and add it on.
13:37Well done.
13:39Lovely.
13:40Well done.
13:40Bradley?
13:41Same method.
13:42There we go.
13:48So, 60 plays, 10, and we turn now to Richard.
13:52Now, Richard, you have a serendipitous story for us.
13:56Yeah, I love serendipity.
13:57I love the word, actually, serendipity.
13:59It's a lovely, lovely, smooth, flowing word, isn't it?
14:03But I like the concept as well, because it allows us to speculate as to whether everything
14:08happens by chance, happenstance, or if there is some underlying pattern going on.
14:12And sometimes you can nudge fate just a little bit.
14:15And I read quite recently about this fantastic custom amongst American students in America.
14:21They don't all do this, but it's quite common to, on the day that you arrive at college,
14:26you write your name, your full name, on a $1 bill.
14:29It has to be a $1 bill by custom.
14:31And you spend it anywhere.
14:33And the belief is that if that dollar bill ever makes its way back to you in change,
14:38the person who gives it to you will be extremely significant in your life.
14:42It will be a meeting of someone who will change your life.
14:45That's the belief.
14:46And there is a true story about a girl, this only happened about two years ago,
14:49who about 12 years ago signed her dollar bill and spent it at the refectory shop or whatever,
14:54and then forgot all about it.
14:55And she got the equivalent of a degree, and she moved around America.
14:59And about 12 years later, she was working in an office in Austin, Texas.
15:04And she went to a clothing store and developed a bit of a crush on the manager.
15:09And one day, the assistant who normally served her wasn't there.
15:12So the manager, who she fancied served her, you see it coming.
15:15And she bought a pair of trainers, a pair of sneakers, and he gave her her change.
15:19And there was the dollar bill with her name on it.
15:21Amazing.
15:22And she just looked at him and said, you're the guy I'm going to marry.
15:26And they did.
15:27Brilliant.
15:27And they now have children.
15:29Isn't that sort of a great story?
15:31True story.
15:31What a great story.
15:33Anyway, thank you, Richard.
15:34I should look at my change every time.
15:37All right.
15:3860 plays 10.
15:39Bradley, surprise, surprise is on 60.
15:41We turn to you again, Bradley, for a letters game.
15:44Oh, please.
15:45Thank you, Bradley.
15:45E.
15:46And a consonant.
15:48D.
15:49And a vowel.
15:51A.
15:52And a consonant.
15:54S.
15:55And a vowel.
15:56E.
15:57And a consonant.
15:59J.
16:01Another consonant.
16:03R.
16:05A consonant.
16:07N.
16:09A consonant.
16:11And lastly, C.
16:12Stand by.
16:43Bradley.
16:44Eight.
16:45An eight. Luke? Seven. And that seven? Encased. Encased. Encased. And, Bradley? Reascend. Reascend. Brilliant. Excellent. All there. Very, very
16:59good.
17:05My word. Now, Richard? Got a seven. Creased. Creased. Erased. Is erased in there? Yes.
17:15A few sevens and dears. Encased also. But, excellent. We didn't see reascend. Very good. Yeah.
17:23Six to eight plays ten. And, Luke? Letters game. We'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Luke. L.
17:33And another? S. And another, please. M. And one more? L.
17:43And a vowel, please. U. And another? E. And another? A. And another? I. And a final consonant, please. And
18:01a final S.
18:02And the clock starts now.
18:04And one more?
18:05And another?
18:33Just like that.
18:35Yes, Luke.
18:36Seven.
18:37Seven.
18:38Seven.
18:39Luke.
18:41Sollies.
18:42And?
18:43We have Miss Sam.
18:45Erm, it's hyphenated.
18:47Ah, sorry.
18:49Very bad luck.
18:51And what can we have?
18:52Richard and Susie.
18:53I think we should have a minute's silence, because you've got one wrong.
18:56Strong.
18:57I managed to six.
18:58So I beat him.
19:00I've got smiles.
19:03Very good.
19:04Susie?
19:04Well, there's sallies for seven, but then if you put the M in, you can get it to an eight
19:09and have smallies.
19:10Not underwear, but people or animals of small size.
19:14No.
19:15Or unimportant or insignificant people.
19:16Sounds like slang.
19:17Smallies.
19:18Oh, well, this is full of slang.
19:19Oh, right.
19:20OK.
19:20Yeah.
19:21All right.
19:2268 plus 17.
19:23And Bradley, numbers game.
19:25One large and five small, please.
19:27Thank you, Bradley.
19:27One from the top pro.
19:29And five little ones.
19:30And four, the last numbers game from you for a while.
19:32They are ten, seven, three, four, one.
19:38And the large one, 75.
19:40And this target, 104.
19:43104.
19:43104.
20:15Now, Bradley.
20:16104.
20:17And Luke.
20:18104.
20:20Bradley.
20:21Ten times three.
20:2330.
20:24Add 75.
20:26105.
20:27And then take one.
20:28Very straightforward, yep.
20:30And Luke.
20:31A slightly different way.
20:32Seven plus three is ten.
20:33By ten is 100 plus four.
20:35Yeah, lots of ways for this one.
20:36Well done.
20:43So, let's have a tea time teaser with the score standing.
20:4578 to 27.
20:47Bradley on 78.
20:47And the tea time teaser is third eels.
20:51And the clue.
20:52You dropped your box full of eels and a third of them got away.
20:56You dropped your box full of eels and a third of them got away.
21:16Welcome back.
21:17I left with a clue.
21:18You dropped your box full of eels and a third of them got away.
21:23They slithered away.
21:24Slithered is the word we're after.
21:26Slithered.
21:2778 to 27.
21:29And it's Luke's letters game now.
21:31Luke.
21:32Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
21:34Thank you, Luke.
21:35R.
21:36And another.
21:38K.

21:44And one more, please.
21:47Y.
21:49And a vowel, please.

22:04And to finish, T.
22:06Stand by.

22:50Mm-hmm.
22:51So, we've got to beat six, Richard.
22:54Um, five.
22:54Royal.
22:55Thank you, Susie.
22:57Um, reality is there for seven.
22:59Reality.
23:00Yeah.
23:00Well done.
23:01So, 33 to 84.
23:03You're holding him under 100, which is very good.
23:05Well done there, Luke.
23:07And it's Bradley's letters game.
23:09Vowel, please.
23:10Thank you, Bradley.

24:14Bradley, five.
24:16A five, Luke.
24:18I'm going for a seven.
24:21Good man.
24:22Bradley, very well.
24:25Luke O'Reilly.
24:26It depends, because I've forgotten whether there's one or two,
24:29but Warrior.
24:30Yes.
24:31Very well done.
24:33Well done.
24:36Good man.
24:39Well done, Mr O'Reilly.
24:42Brilliant stuff.
24:43I think you've got the horrocks all wobbly now.
24:47What's happening over in the corner?
24:49No.
24:49Nothing with me.
24:50I've just got...
24:51I've had too many of the same letters, like, say, three.
24:54It always throws me.
24:55I feel I have to kind of use them up.
24:56So I just got nowhere.
24:58Ran out of steam.
24:59What did Susie...
25:00I was with Warrior as well.
25:02Yeah, used all the art.
25:03So 84 to 40, as we turn back to Susie.
25:07What have you for us today?
25:09Well, I thought I'd talk over the next couple of days about the trouble that lexicographers
25:14sometimes get themselves in.
25:17One of the most common questions that you get asked if you work in dictionaries is,
25:21how do I get my new word into the dictionary?
25:24You know, can I get it in?
25:25Here it is.
25:26It's brilliant.
25:27And the answer is always no.
25:28Of course, if it's used...
25:30If a word is used often enough over a certain period of time, then it stands a good chance
25:33of going into the dictionary, but not until then.
25:35So we don't listen to petitions.
25:38But it turns out if it's an inside job, you might just get a word in.
25:42In 2013, a movement sprang up in Australia that carried the slogan, Stop Fubbing.
25:49P-H-U-B-B-I-N-G.
25:52Fubbing was a blend of phone snubbing.
25:55In other words, you're snubbing someone by just looking at your screen.
25:58The word just took off, literally.
26:00And it was only probably a couple of months later, after the advertising agency had really
26:06propelled this into the language, that Macquarie Dictionaries owned up.
26:10And so it was all part of a dictionary campaign to update your dictionary.
26:14And it was a completely made-up word by a group of linguists in an office somewhere.
26:18And they had done what we always say is impossible.
26:20But eventually, we all had to eat our words.
26:22Because if you look in the Oxford Dictionary here online, you will find that fubbing is
26:26in.
26:26And it's one of the very, very few examples of a word that's been artificially created
26:30and has successfully gone into the dictionary.
26:32Well, well, well.
26:39Thank you, Susie.
26:41So, 84 playing 40, Bradley on 84, and it's Luke's letters game.
26:45Yes, Luke.
26:47OK, Rachel, I'll start with a consonant, please.
26:49Thank you, Luke.
26:50M.
26:52And another.
26:54P.
26:56And another.
27:04And a vowel, please.
27:07And another.
27:08I.
27:09And another.
27:11E.
27:13And another.
27:15O.
27:17And a consonant, please.
27:18And lastly, S.
27:20Countdown.
27:21All right.
27:52Yes, Luke?
27:53Six.
27:54And Bradley?
27:55Stick with eight.
27:57Why not?
27:59Luke?
28:00Spires.
28:02Now then, Bradley.
28:03Promises?
28:04Yes.
28:05Very good.
28:06Very, very good.
28:07Can we match it, I wonder?
28:09Richard and Susie?
28:11Well, I just got all the fives.
28:12I've got paws and mopes and more of...
28:16Susie, do you have promises?
28:18I do, and the question that Bradley is definitely going to ask is,
28:22can you put the extra e in and have promise e's for nine,
28:25and the answer is you can.
28:27Yeah.
28:27Wow, look at that.
28:29Very nice, Susie.
28:32Excellent.
28:33Bradley, final letters game for you.
28:35Vowel, please.
28:36Thank you, Bradley.
28:37I.
28:39And a consonant.

28:56A vowel.
28:57E.
29:00Consonant.
29:02N.
29:04Another vowel.
29:06And to finish, E.
29:09Stand by.
29:10T.
29:11T.
29:12T.
29:13T.
29:14T.
29:14T.
29:15T.
29:35So mid今回 the pick up over a Tuesday.
29:35I'll get the word back and the year.
29:35T.
29:39Tawaday Basically H.
29:41Bradley?
29:42Seven.
29:42A seven.
29:43Luke?
29:44Six.
29:45And your six?
29:46Finite.
29:47Finite and?
29:48Er, pianeta.
29:50How are you spelling that?
29:51P-E-I-N-E-T-A.
29:55Er, yes.
29:57Er, this is a new one on me.
29:59Very, very good.
29:59In Spain and Spanish-speaking countries, it's an ornamental comb that is traditionally worn.
30:05Yeah, very, very good.
30:06Well, well.
30:07APPLAUSE
30:12Where did that come from, then, Richard?
30:15Extraordinary.
30:16How many languages do you speak?
30:18Just the one.
30:20Now, Richard.
30:21I matched your type-in.
30:23That type-in.
30:23Very good.
30:24Anything else?
30:25No, we couldn't beat Bradley.
30:27That was excellent.
30:27No, that was excellent.
30:29Right, 99.
30:3099 to 40.
30:32I tell you what, Luke, you may feel hard done by it, but you've done very well indeed.
30:37It's a numbers game, and it's got your name on it, Luke.
30:40Er, OK, Rachel, I'll go for two big and four small, please.
30:44Thank you, Luke.
30:45Two large, four little for the final one of the day.
30:47And this selection is four, ten, five, one, and the large one, 75, and 50.
30:56And the target, 268.
30:59Two, six, eight.
31:00Two, six, eight.
31:31Yes, Luke?
31:322, 6, 9.
31:332, 6, 9. And Bradley?
31:352, 6, 8, I think.
31:37All right, let's try.
31:3910 over 5.
31:4110 over 5 is 2.
31:4350 minus that 2.
31:4550 minus 2, 48.
31:47Times by 4.
31:48Times by 4 is 192.
31:51Add the 75.
31:53And add the 75 for 1, 2, 6, 7.
31:56And then add the 1.
31:57And you've got 1 left over. 2, 6, 8. Lovely.
31:59Well done.
32:06Well done, Bradley.
32:08Well done indeed.
32:09109 to Luke's 40 as we go into the final round.
32:13I don't need to spell it out.
32:14It's fingers on buzzers.
32:16We're about to spin today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:51Bradley?
32:53Humpiness.
32:55Let's see whether you're right.
32:56Otherwise, I'll have to give the rest of the time to Luke.
33:01No.
33:01Down to you, Luke.
33:02Take your time.
33:07Yes, go on.
33:08Pinus ham.
33:11No.
33:12Sadly not.
33:13But who in the audience?
33:15Yes, madam?
33:17Misshapen.
33:18Misshapen.
33:18Let's see whether you're right.
33:20Well done.
33:21Well done.
33:22Well done.
33:26So, Bradley Horrocks bested at the final throw, my word.
33:30But actually, you might like to know that you'll be back here next week in the quarterfinals
33:34as, I might add, our number two seed.
33:37But I'll come back to you in a moment.
33:39Luke O'Reilly, it might have been a slow start, but you did very, very well indeed.
33:43Thanks very much.
33:44Up against his character.
33:45Yeah, he's fantastic.
33:47Yeah, in a league of his own, I think.
33:48Well, I think you did very well.
33:49Thanks very much.
33:50You were getting there.
33:51And then a bit more time.
33:52I had good fun.
33:53Take the scooter bag with you.
33:54Yeah.
33:55Thanks very much.
33:56Cheers.
33:57Bradley's great, great performance, frankly.
34:01We've said it all.
34:02You're our number two seed.
34:03And we'll see you next week in the quarterfinals.
34:06See you then.
34:06Brilliant stuff.
34:08What a good player.
34:09Richard, what do you think?
34:10Well, I'm glad he's not on tomorrow.
34:12Well, you'd be dazzled, wouldn't you?
34:14Yeah.
34:14It's just extraordinary.
34:15Amazing, amazing.
34:16See you tomorrow.
34:17Yeah, see you tomorrow.
