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01:27that went out of date, and I recently could not fit anything else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.
03:14Start today with T.
03:42At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
03:46.
03:47.
03:47.
04:17I'm Anne-Marie.
04:18Six.
04:19Go on with a six.
04:20What have you got, Sean?
04:21I've got seven.
04:22Seven.
04:22The six is?
04:24Purges.
04:24And a good start for a challenger here, Sean.
04:26Goiters.
04:27Goiters.
04:28Yes, very good indeed.
04:29Yes.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Right, this should be enjoyable.
04:32What have you got?
04:33We have an eight, and you don't have many of these, groupies.
04:38And what's the letter?
04:39The letter left over is the T, so 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 for a bicycle, brakes
04:48and 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.
04:5914 rounds to go.
05:00Your letters.
05:01Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
05:03Thank you, Sean.
05:04D.
05:04And another one.
05:07T.
05:09And a vial, please.
05:11E.
05:12And another vial, please.
05:15A.
05:16And another one.
05:18E.
05:20And a consonant.
05:22N.
05:24And another one.
05:26P.
05:30And one more.
05:39Lastly, S.
05:40And start the clock.
05:40S.
06:12Sean, how many?
06:13I've got eight.
06:14Eight for you.
06:14And Anne-Marie?
06:15Dodgy seven.
06:16A dodgy seven.
06:17Let's hear how dodgy it is.
06:19Spatted.
06:20Spatted.
06:20And for you, Sean?
06:22Patented.
06:23Ah, patented.
06:24There you go.
06:25Patented, brilliant.
06:26Spatted, absolutely fine.
06:27If you have a spat, you have a quarrel about something,
06:30it's not very important.
06:31And so they spatted about it would have been fine.
06:33OK.
06:34Anne-Marie, let's get numbers.
06:35Just one from the top, please, Rachel.
06:37No early gambles.
06:39One large, five little coming up.
06:41But how safe is it?
06:43Numbers one, two, two, seven, four and 25.
06:48And the target, 612.
06:51612.
06:52Numbers up.
06:52Tip number two.
07:236-1-2, Anne-Marie.
07:256-1-1, I think.
07:27Missed it by one, Sean.
07:29No, sorry, I haven't.
07:31Oh! Anne-Marie, for seven points, get you on the board.
07:34Right, seven minus one is six.
07:37Yes. Times four.
07:3824.
07:40Times 25.
07:41Times 25 is 600.
07:43I think I used the four twice, I was adding the rest of them on.
07:47Yeah, you've just got two twos left, so I think you've snookered yourself.
07:50Oh, Rach, Rach will take you to 6-1-2, no bother.
07:53Yes, well, you want to add 12 to the 600,
07:56so if you say 25 times four is 100.
08:00Again, make your six for seven minus one,
08:02but before you times it by that,
08:03add the two here for 102,
08:05times it by six, and you get straight to 6-1-2.
08:08Nice.
08:10Your two-time teaser is resist, end, resist, end.
08:15You can try to resist, but at the end of the day,
08:18this comes to us all.
08:19You can try to resist, but at the end of the day,
08:22this comes to us all.
08:39Yes, welcome back.
08:40It comes to us all.
08:42I think we all got that one very quickly.
08:44Tiredness, tiredness.
08:45Well, listen, none of that yet.
08:46We're at the early stages of today's countdown.
08:49Just three rounds in,
08:50and our challenger, Sean, 15 points up.
08:54And imagine there's many stories to be told still
08:56before we say goodbye.
08:57So let's have the next one from Sean.
09:00Constance, please, Rachael.
09:01Thank you, Sean.
09:02B.
09:02And another one.
09:04And another one.
09:05And a vial.
09:07I.
09:08Another one.
09:10U.
09:11And another one.
09:13I.
09:15Consonant, please.
09:17Q.
09:18Another one.
09:20M.
09:23One more.
09:24R.
09:28And a vial, please.
09:30And final A.
09:32And half a minute.
09:33And half a minute.
10:04Sean, how many?
10:05Only five, can't.
10:07Really difficult, this one.
10:08Anne-Marie?
10:08I've only got four.
10:10The four is?
10:11Male.
10:11Yes.
10:12And for you, Sean?
10:13Quail.
10:14Quail.
10:15Yeah.
10:15What about you?
10:16I think I did what you're not meant to do on this game.
10:18I saw a Q, I saw a U, I saw an I, I saw an L.
10:22And I thought, just ask for a T, please.
10:23And then that didn't happen.
10:25So then I got, we got panicked.
10:26So I'm going to, over to you, Susie.
10:28Yes.
10:28Well, we had lumbar, lumbar, puncture, lumbar, support for six.
10:32That's six, well done.
10:33But there is actually a seven there as well, which is bulimia.
10:36All right, well done.
10:37Still digging off the mark, then, is our Anne-Marie.
10:39It's common, Anne-Marie.
10:40Consonant, please, Rachel.
10:42Thank you, Anne-Marie.
10:43M.
10:45And another.
10:46D.
10:47And another.
10:49L.
10:50And another.
11:04And a final consonant, please.
11:09Final B.
11:11And here we go.
11:42Anne-Marie.
11:44Six.
11:44Yes.
11:45And Sean.
11:45Six as well.
11:46Six as well.
11:47Here we go, Anne-Marie.
11:48Handle.
11:49Handle for you.
11:50And Sean.
11:51Unload.
11:51And unload.
11:53Yes.
11:54Six is not bothered with anymore.
11:56There's loads of those.
11:57So, you know, the challenge is, Dixnery Corner, come on, pull your weight.
12:01Dazzle me.
12:01We have an eight.
12:02We do.
12:03We do.
12:04It's undoable.
12:05Ah, yes.
12:06Very good.
12:06Undoable.
12:07Undoable.
12:08Yes.
12:10OK.
12:11Anne's off the board.
12:1220 points in it as we move on to those numbers.
12:16And you're picking them, Sean.
12:18One large, please, Rachel.
12:19Thank you, Sean.
12:20Just one large, five little filled in by default.
12:24And these small ones.
12:25One, two, seven, ten and two.
12:30And the large one, 75.
12:32And the target, 471.
12:35471.
12:35Numbers up.
12:36And the target, 471.
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.
13:18Seven minus one, six.
13:20Yep.
13:20Times 75 is 450.
13:22450.
13:2410 plus two is 12.
13:26Yep.
13:27Plus two, or sorry, times two is 24.
13:30And I have 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 two is 150.
13:43Add the seven for 1-5-7.
13:46And then the second two plus one is three.
13:48And times those together, 4-7-1.
13:50Brilliant.
13:52And that is for the ten 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 with 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.
14:14Which 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, depending on who's got the rights and all that kind of stuff.
14:25No, I've had some nice journeys with the game, with the sport that I've always loved.
14:29Always loved it from a child.
14:31The best memory I have, I think, is when Japan beat South Africa, the 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 in rugby World Cup history.
14:45And I remember standing there thinking, this is just magical.
14:48The last minute of the game.
14:49You know those dramas where it's literally on a knife edge to the final second.
14:53Japan score in the corner, the whole of the Amex Stadium, I think it's called now, went absolutely bonkers.
15:00And I remember we went off air.
15:02So we were sort of reflecting on this incredible story.
15:05This awesome sporting upset.
15:07And I was there with Francois Pienaar, who was one of my pundits, who picked up the trophy when they
15:12won it in 1995.
15:13You know, darling of the Rainbow Nation.
15:16George Gregan, who at that time was Australia's most capped player, 139 caps.
15:20And then we went off air.
15:22Three, two, one, off air.
15:24Great show, everybody.
15:25What an amazing moment.
15:26And this enormous human being walks up to the three of us.
15:29And he's a guy called Kobus Vesa.
15:31He's six foot six 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, well, he's not going to hit Pienaar.
15:40And he's not going to hit Gregan.
15:41So I think, I thought, I'm in the firing line here, so I scarper pretty quickly.
15:45But that day was just magical.
15:47I mean, really, the idea of the David and the glass story we see so often.
15:51It was just that day, spine-tinglingly awesome.
15:54Great, Mark.
15:55Rugby journeys.
15:56Thank you very much.
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, but a long road ahead.
16:10Let's go.
16:10Consonant, please, Rachel.
16:13Thank you, Anne-Marie.
16:13D.
16:14And another.
16:16F.
16:17And another.
16:18K.
16:20A vowel.
16:21O.
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.
17:14Anne-Marie, how many?
17:16Six. And for you, Sean?
17:18Six as well. Six as well. Excellent. Points, Anne-Marie?
17:21Coated. No worries there, Sean.
17:23Ticked. Ticked. Yep, absolutely fine.
17:25We'll tick that off. Points. Good stuff.
17:28Primary school teachers are going to get ticked every time.
17:31Right, six points apiece.
17:33Dexterity Corner having a good day so far. Can we beat it?
17:36We have a magnificent seven.
17:37We do. And here's a fact for you.
17:40Factoid. Oh, factoid is there, yes.
17:42Factoid. Steve Wright always think of it as factoids.
17:44Yes. But actually, the original meaning was unreliable information,
17:47not just a little fact. Oh, OK.
17:49But that's how he used it. That's how North Americans use it.
17:53So the original fake news, then, the factoid.
17:55Factoid. All right. More letters, please.
17:58Sean, you're picking. Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
18:02Thank you, Sean. L.
18:03And the second one?
18:05M.
18:06M. And a vial?
18:09B.
18:11And another vial?
18:12A.
18:13One more, please.
18:15E.
18:16And a consonant?
18:18D.
18:19Another one?
18:21G.
18:23And another one?
18:25N.
18:26And a vial, please.
18:29Lastly, I.
18:30And here we go.
18:59And here we go.
19:02Sean?
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.
19:14Excellent.
19:15Yes, good start.
19:19Well, maybe it'll be your first maximum of the week.
19:22If not, we'll move on.
19:23We've got one more eight.
19:24Yeah.
19:25It takes 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 scoreline.
19:44Your small numbers are as follows.
19:47Four, eight, nine, and two, with a large one, 75, 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.
20:47Plus 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, Rachel.
22:15Thank you, Sean.
22:16P.
22:18Second one.
22:18M.
22:21Vial.
22:23A.
22:24Again, sorry.
22:26E.
22:27And another vial.
22:29I.
22:30And a consonant.
22:32R.
22:34Another consonant.
22:36T.
22:39Another consonant.
22:41S.
22:47That's a stinker at the end, isn't it?
22:4830 seconds.
22:49That's a stinker at the end, isn't it?
23:19Sean, how many?
23:20Eight.
23:21Well done.
23:22Anne-Marie?
23:23Eight.
23:23Eight.
23:24Same word.
23:24Let's find out.
23:25Primates.
23:26Primates.
23:27Same word, yeah.
23:28Stop monkeying around.
23:29Pass it over.
23:30HE LAUGHS
23:32Brilliant.
23:33Well done.
23:33Eight points.
23:35Can we go beyond that?
23:36We had another eight.
23:38I like that one.
23:39Colin must have made a few of those in his youth.
23:41I think so, too.
23:42Mixtapes.
23:43Brilliant, yes.
23:43Not just in the youth.
23:45I used to do it every Thursday night on Five Live.
23:47It was great fun, yeah.
23:49Yeah, we did.
23:49And we love that.
23:50But you can't be a mixtaper.
23:51I can't be a mixtaper.
23:52Yeah.
23:53But also, in case our viewers are wondering,
23:55you can have matrices,
23:56matrices,
23:57and that will give you another eight.
23:59Matrices or matrixes.
24:01Lovely.
24:01Right.
24:02Anne-Marie,
24:03you're going to be a memory
24:04if you don't change the script
24:05any time soon.
24:06Let's go.
24:07Consonant, please.
24:08Thank you, Anne-Marie.
24:22And a final consonant, please.
24:33Final T.
24:34And good luck.
25:06Anne-Marie?
25:07Six.
25:07Yeah, Sean?
25:09Also six.
25:10Not easiest, right, Anne-Marie?
25:12Wisest.
25:13And for you, Sean?
25:14Sweets.
25:15Sweets.
25:16You are spelling...
25:16S-U-A-T-E-S.
25:18Absolutely fine.
25:19Dixonry corner.
25:20I have confidence in you.
25:21I 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.
25:3526 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,
25:57And it's actually a lovely example of how names in the dictionary give us our very first record,
26:04very often, of a particular word.
26:06And so it was with an Isabella ragamuffin, who lived in the 14th century, who is 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.
27:09And 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.
27:23Another consonant.
27:24N.
27:25And a vowel, please.
27:27A.
27:27And another vowel.
27:29O.
27:29And another vowel.
27:31U.
27:32Consonant, please.
27:34G.
27:35And another consonant.
27:37D.
27:39Another consonant.
27:40V.
27:43And a vowel.
27:46Lastly, E.
27:47And countdown.
27:50One
27:50other consonant.
27:50One
28:20Six. Anne-Marie? Six. Well done, both of you. Sean? Canoed. Canoed. Are you canoing as well? I'm canoing as
28:28well. Two 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.
28:49So, Anne-Marie, if there was a last chance saloon, well, you've got three of them coming up and you
28:53need to have a drink in each one, starting with these letters. Consolant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Anne-Marie.
28:59L. And another. W. And another. R. And another. S. A vowel. O. Another vowel.
29:15A. Another vowel. E. Another vowel. U. And a final consonant, please.
29:27Final Y.
29:28And last letters.
29:29Final Y.
29:30Final Y.
29:38Final Y.
29:58Tod
30:00Anne-Marie? Six. Six. Sean? Six.
30:05And a six to tick the teapot, Anne-Marie?
30:08Lowers. Lowers is there. Sean?
30:11Sourly. Ooh. Sourly.
30:14I'm sure that will be there as an adverb.
30:17Yeah, absolutely. It is. Well done.
30:18APPLAUSE
30:20How do we get all those letters? When Susie came up with this,
30:23I thought, Susie doesn't know how to spell,
30:25because she'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. It is.
30:32Illusory is not that. Yes.
30:34No, so this is slightly different.
30:35So illusory 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.
31:13A little more question.
31:42What's the features of the Marlowe Catrap?
31:425-2-3, Sean. 5-2-5. 5-2-5, it's two away. And for Anne-Marie? 5-2-0.
31:50Sean, off you go for seven points. I actually got 5-2-3 on us declared.
31:56Anne-Marie, let's take the points. 8-3 is 5. 8-3, 5.
32:02100 plus 4 times 5 is 520. Yep, 520.
32:09Nice. That'll get you seven points just to top that score up a bit
32:13as we get 5-2-3 from Rich. Well, you were on the right track.
32:168-3 is 5, but keep it simple. Times it by the 100 for 500
32:21and then you have 9, 4 and 10. Give you the 23.
32:25Yeah, well done. We'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.
32:53And we'll see you soon.
32:53And we'll see you soon.
33:07No luck anti-demon becomes Mark Durden-Smith.
33:13I can't believe I've got this right because I just said,
33:15Susie, is it nominated?
33:16She 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.
33:30And just for just, you know, just bringing your personality here
33:32has been great.
33:33So thank you so much.
33:34Cheers.
33:35And Sean, switching chairs.
33:37There's not a single kid can make fun of Mr Hawhey today.
33:41Always tomorrow.
33:42Yes, there's still time.
33:44We'll see what happens.
33:45I'm going to see you for that, MDSSD.
33:47Yeah, see you there.
33:48And Rachel, just before we go on 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 two pound, three pound thing.
34:01Do you know the little tea bag holders?
34:04So you make your tea and you put your tea bag on it.
34:06And it's a very old fashioned thing.
34:08But I think they're priceless because your tea stains your countertops.
34:13And I have one.
34:14And it's a real game changer, that.
34:16Do you have one?
34:17Take your tea bag out, put it in that.
34:19Just put it in the bin.
34:20What if your bin's over there?
34:21Just move your bin to a better place.
34:24Right.
34:24Glad I brought that up.
34:25We'll see you tomorrow.
34:26Same time, same place from your home to our studio.
34:29We'll be waiting on you.
