00:30Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Friday afternoon, our last show of the week before we head into the weekend.
00:37And you join us on International Karaoke Day. Empty Orchestra. Rachel, that's what it means. Empty Orchestra. Japanese origin. And
00:46I know you've been waiting for this all Series 90. It's time for a quiz.
00:50A quiz. Yay. Music. Oh, no. I'm in trouble. Well, shall we bring in Susie Dent and comedian Chris McCausland
00:57and we'll have a three-way battle. All right. First one to shout it out. Here we go.
01:03Tell me why. It's Backstreet Boys. I don't want it that way. Yes. Come on. Here we go. This is
01:11You'll Be Covered in Glory if you get this, Rachel.
01:14So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
01:18Hello. I want to dance with somebody. Oh, the denticles! Yes! I'm going to end it there. I'll save a
01:27couple for the end of the show, but I'm going to end it there. Susie Dent. Whitney. Whitney Houston.
01:31Yes. Well done to you, Chris McCausland. Shame. Do you know what? I was thinking, yay, I've made it to
01:37Friday, but I wish you'd let me go home on Thursday.
01:42Brilliant. You like a bit of karaoke, Chris? Nah. Well, if Fiona Wood was doing karaoke, I'm guessing you'd do
01:48a little respect by erasure.
01:51Well, no, I can't sing, so I usually keep well clear of karaoke. The only song I've ever done is
01:56of Santa Baby on karaoke.
01:59Your favourite song, Noah, that's how we get to know each other, people. I love this. It is erasure, though,
02:04isn't it? Yes, it is. I love erasure.
02:05I love it. There you go. Musical start to today's show. Well, listen, if there was a song that summed
02:11up our challengers a day,
02:13it would be Redemption Song by Bob Marley, because Omer Azzam from Cheshire was here in, was it 2006, my
02:21friend?
02:21That's right, June 2006. And Omer lived up his name because he had a mare.
02:26Aw. Yes, this Watch Redemption, you were telling me all about it.
02:29So, you had the second lowest score in the series, is that right?
02:31It's 33 points, yes. Listen, whatever happens today, we just want you to enjoy it.
02:35You're up against your run into a great champion. Yes. In Fiona Wood.
02:39But we will give you a little respect, we'll give Fiona a little respect and we'll enjoy the day.
02:43So, good luck to Omer and good luck to Fiona.
02:47APPLAUSE

05:33And for Fiona?
05:34Social.
05:35Oh, well spotted.
05:37Social.
05:38We could have done with an E at the end there.
05:39It would have helped a lot.
05:40But a great six from Fiona.
05:42Chris and Susie, what we send?
05:44We've got a seven.
05:45Possibly my favourite type of awareness.
05:47It's spatial awareness.
05:48Yay, spatial.
05:49Nice.
05:50Not a big jump from social to spatial there.
05:5413-7.

08:38Hey.
08:46Hey!
08:49Hey!
08:50Hey!
08:52Time on that one, Omer?
08:54Going to risk an eight. Fiona? Seven.
08:57A seven is? Tiptoes.
08:58This is a risk, isn't it? I can't wait to hear it.
09:01Goopiest? Goopiest.
09:03Gloopy I know, so I wasn't holding out much hope for a goopy,
09:05but it is in the dictionary. The bad news is that goopier and goopiest are not.
09:10So I have to say no, I'm so sorry.
09:12That was a rollercoaster. She can get a bit Simon Coyle at times.
09:16It was yes, it was no, it was there you go, but unlucky.
09:18Well done for taking a risk with that, so we're on our tiptoes for seven.
09:22Anything else, Chris? No better than a seven, have we?
09:25We've got egotist. Yes, potties.
09:27Potties, yeah. Right, let's just move on, get more letters, Fiona.
09:33Have a consonant, please. Thank you, Fiona.
09:35R. And another.
09:39D. And another.

10:05Interesting. Half a minute.
10:07Yeah.
10:22Oh.
10:36Lordran, it's the other one
10:38Fiona. Eat. An eight.
10:41Omer. Got to try an eight.
10:43Fiona, you're eight. Relished.
10:45Omer, you're eight. Shielder.
10:46A shielder.
10:48Oh!
10:51It's not there. These are all
10:52entirely plausible words, it's just
10:54they're not in the dictionary, which is
10:56really bad luck, so I'm so sorry.
10:58So you've relished that round. Well done. Eight points
11:00for Fiona. She's on fire here.
11:03Anything else for us from Dictionary Corner?
11:04Well, we did have one more eight,
11:06which is slightly celestial,
11:08sidereal, and
11:10it is with respect to the distant stars.
11:13We will move on and get back
11:14to the numbers. Second time today,
11:16Omer, you're choosing, you're in control, my friend.
11:19Two large and four small,
11:21please, Rachel. Let's get you over halfway
11:22to your 33. Two large, four little
11:24and beyond.
11:26For this round, we have six,
11:29seven, three,
11:31seven, and the big two,
11:32175,
11:34and the target,
11:36223.
11:38223. Numbers up.
11:40223.
11:42235.
11:47238.
11:56269.
11:58329.
12:06329.
12:08451.
12:10223 the target small but a bit tricky Omer 224 one away Fiona 224 one away so
12:17for seven points Omer take it away 75 times three is 225 yep and seven minus
12:24six is one take it away one above and what about you Fiona slightly more
12:29complicated three times a hundred minus 75 and then minus 7 over 7 yep same
12:38result nice and 223 should not be that difficult with those numbers but it is
12:43it was harder than it looked wasn't it if you say 7 plus 7 is 14 times that by 3
12:50for
12:5042 and then add everything together add the 6 for 48 and a 75 and the 100 for
12:56223 magic darts well done Rachel 45 plus 14 as we have our final chat of the week
13:06with Chris McCausland you Chris and I sort of have a little chat you know at the
13:10start of the week and and he says look here's here's a whole load of stuff I
13:14could talk about and I always choose the positive stuff but as he didn't play
13:17along with our karaoke quiz at the start you cheated nearing the literature exam
13:21and I'm outing you today on the program so yeah I mean this feels like the place
13:26to bring it up doesn't it I am English literature was never a subject I could
13:32get on board with in school all them old books and I could see back then I was
13:36losing me sight and reading wasn't enjoyable it was a chore and and a lot
13:41of them books are just yeah they're just hard to get on with aren't they it's I
13:45remember being given the tempest and I got to page three with zero
13:51comprehension and all I learned from that is never try and read a book where the
13:55title is two words and you don't know what one of that words means and the other
13:59word is the and we were giving this up to kill a mockingbird we were given that
14:04and I just didn't fancy it and so I didn't bother reading it but because I
14:09was losing me eyesight I was allowed to use a laptop for me exam to type out my
14:14answers rather than having to do handwriting so I got a digital copy of the
14:19book and hid it away on the laptop didn't read the book and then the GCSE English
14:24literature exam the question would say something like what was the mood when boo
14:27Radley blah blah blah and I'd go command F fine boo Radley they come up and I
14:33quickly read it and then right boo Radley I'm ashamed to say that I cheated in my
14:41GCSE English literature literature exam and I still only got a C
14:55I'll hang my head in shame man you see Omer no matter what score you get in today's show at
15:03least you did it

16:15OK.
16:16Omer.
16:17Safe seven.
16:17Of course, why would you?
16:19When she told you it was dodgy, why would you take a risk?
16:21What's your seven?

16:24Now, I don't know whether it will be dodgy with our Fiona.

16:35Yeah, very good indeed.
16:36Well done.
16:39And a lentil was a capital letter there.
16:41Ah, yeah, no, I understand why.
16:43United Arab Emirates, et cetera, but it is used more generically, I guess.
16:47Omer, that was a bit of a gut punch, wasn't it?
16:50What do we have there, Chris McCausland?
16:51Well, me with my cheated C in English literature got trees, but I believe the trainees is also in there,

23:33OK, so we need yours first.
23:35Replotted?
23:36I think it might be the same.
23:37Yep.
23:38It is.
23:39We know you can plot.
23:40You could be a plotter.
23:41In past tense, you may have plotted.
23:43But can you replot?
23:44You can!
23:45Yes!
23:48What's going on?

23:57My goodness me.
23:59Well, I'm feeling it.
23:59Looks like we're not focusing on you.
24:01But you know how great you are.
24:03Don't you worry.
24:03Just to check out any other nines.
24:06No, not really.
24:07Loads of them, Colin.
24:08Loads.
24:08You haven't got time to get into them.
24:1187.
24:11Wait for it.
24:1355.
24:14With four rounds left,
24:16as Susie gives us our final origins and words of the week.
24:19Well, we had a lovely email from Tony.
24:22No surname given, which is absolutely fine.
24:24And he has two questions.
24:25And it brings us back to sailing.
24:28We had yesterday a lot of expressions and words to do with sailing,
24:31just in the rounds.
24:34And these are two more.
24:35So he says,
24:36I recently discovered that under the weather might have been where six sailors went below deck.
24:41And so were under the weather.
24:43Also, please could you tell me where when the sun is over, the yardarm comes from.
24:49Which means it's time for a tipple, essentially.
24:51But I will finish that with that one.
24:53And start with under the weather.
24:56Well, there is a very strong theory, at least a very popular one,
24:59that ailing sailors would go below deck in order to recover,
25:05to escape the weather decks,
25:07or alternatively to sort of forestall seasickness,
25:11which was still an occasional problem.
25:13But there are lots of 19th century examples of under the weather
25:17having nothing to do with sailing or poor health.
25:21So it's been used in relationship to political parties
25:24and being sort of slightly weak and ineffective,
25:28and financial troubles.
25:30And even in an article in 1826,
25:33under the weather, it was used to mean drunk.
25:35I mean, that's not exceptional,
25:37because almost everything can be used to mean drunk,
25:39if you look at it in English.
25:41But it does make you think,
25:42well, does it really then have to do with the seas?
25:45But there are a few clues,
25:47because sailors use the words in a very literal sense.
25:50Sometimes, if they have to stop due to bad weather,
25:53they will say they've stopped under stress of weather.
25:56So it's possible that under the weather came from that.
25:58And also, they use weather in a slightly different way,
26:01not just to what's kind of happening weather-wise,
26:04as we would say, or in the sky.
26:05So the weather side of a ship is the one that faces the wind.
26:09It's the windward side.
26:10And that gets more kind of rough, if you like,
26:14than the leeward side, which is the sheltered side.
26:17So all of that maybe does make sense,
26:20that maybe it is inspired under the weather
26:22that you literally are kind of, you know,
26:24in a sort of storm and feeling ill at ease
26:26and slightly stressed.
26:28So that's where that one may have come from.
26:31And the one about when the sun is over the yard,
26:33absolutely, definitely, that one did originate on the seas.
26:36And it's thought to be in the North Atlantic,
26:38when the sun would rise above the upper mast arms,
26:43or the spars, of square sail ships at around 11am.
26:47So the sails are called yards.
26:50So the yard arm are the spars on those sails.
26:52And this coincided with the forenoon, kind of stand-easy,
26:56when officers would go below deck
26:57and have their first tot of rum of the day.
27:00So when the sun is over the yard arm,
27:02that is when it is allowed.
27:03And we use it to mean, I think it's gin o'clock.
27:06Yeah, thank you.
27:10Well, we're toasting both Fiona and Omer today,
27:13because it's been a really fun Friday show.
27:16Two different stories going on here, isn't there?
27:18Omer, let's get more letters.

28:24Yeah, Fiona? Six.
28:26Well spotted. What's the five, Omer?
28:28Junes. And for Fiona?
28:29Assure. Assure. Susie?
28:33Junes, not going to be there, unfortunately, with a small j.
28:38And what was yours, Fiona? Assure.
28:40Assure, yeah, very good. It was really tricky, this one,
28:42to find anything at all.
28:44Really awful round that. Chris, did you pull anything else out of the bag?
28:47We've got snares, and that's about it.
28:49There you go. You drummed that up. It's 93.55.
28:53There's three rounds to go, Fiona. Let's truck on.

30:00Goodness me. Fiona. Down to four. Yeah. Omer. I'll stick with the four. Fiona. Ior. Yes. And Omer. Four. And
30:11what else is four or more than four? I can't pretend I got this one because I've no idea what
30:16it means. Biriam. Yes, Biriam, we'll get you to a six. It is from microbiology and it's the complete form
30:23of a virus outside of a host cell.
30:25I love it. Okay, listen. Fiona's done and dusted. 97. Halfway to becoming her first octal champ of series 90.
30:32But Omer, who would have thought it after the first few rounds? You could double the score that you got
30:37last time you were here and all you have to do is get through this numbers round and you're choosing.
30:42Two large and four small, please, Rachel. Two large. Four small. Hopefully another ten points. Hiding in the slot. Final
30:48numbers of the week. Eight. Eight. Seven. Ten.
30:54Ten. Fifty. And twenty-five. And the target. One hundred and forty. One hundred and forty. Numbers up.
31:02One hundred and fifty. And the target. One hundred and fifty. The target. One hundred and forty.結果.
31:32OK, low target there at 140.
31:35Omer?
31:35Yes, 140.
31:36And Fiona?
31:37Yes, only just.
31:38Right.
31:39A bit of a panic up with both of you there.
31:41A few ways to get there, but Omer, how'd you go?
31:4450 over 25 is 2.
31:46Yep.
31:47Add that to the 8 and the 10 to give you 20.
31:50And times by 7.
31:51Lovely, 140.
31:53And Fiona?
31:548 times 25.
31:56It's 200 minus 50 minus 10.
32:00Lovely.
32:00Same result, 140.
32:05And with that, Fiona's broken the centuries.
32:07He's on 107.
32:08And Omer's broken the centuries as well.
32:10If you had to gather both of your scores, 2006 and today,
32:13we take it where we can get it.
32:1569 for Omer.
32:16Ten more points up for grabs.
32:18Fingers on the buzzers, please.
32:19For the last time this week, let's reveal the Countdown Conundrum.
32:49Omer, let's have a look.
32:52Oh, come on.
32:54Come on.
32:55Come on.
32:56It is obscene.
32:58It really is.
32:59Oh, I've only scored 33 the last time.
33:01You were up against Fiona.
33:03We feared the worst.
33:04That's sensational.
33:05It goes to show.
33:06It's not all about winning and taking home a teapot.
33:08That was a delight today.
33:10How are you feeling?
33:11Feeling great.
33:11Feeling redeemed.
33:12Yes.
33:13How many people, be honest, friends and family said,
33:16Omer, don't go near that show again?
33:17All of them.
33:18Where are they now, eh?
33:20Shame on you.
33:21Shame on you.
33:22Omer, you get a round of applause.
33:23Well done.
33:25Fiona, we are so excited about you.
33:28Feels like Series 90 is properly underway with Fiona.
33:31Halfway to being an octo champ.
33:33So that house that took four years to build,
33:35you can only go back there Saturday, Sunday,
33:37and we'll see you Monday, all right?
33:39And Chris and Susie, thank you.
33:42And Rachel, should we let them in
33:43for more International Karaoke Day lyrics?
33:46Oh, yes, please.
33:46All right.
33:47Well, Chris didn't get any last time.
33:49Let's see how he gets on this time.
33:50Right.
33:50The lyric is...
33:52A smell of wine and cheap perfume.
33:56Oh, yeah.
33:57Bon Jovi?
33:58It's not Bon Jovi.
33:59You're out.
34:00Keep the faith.
34:02Don't give up.
34:02That's Bon Jovi as well.
34:04Keep the faith.
34:07Don't stop believing.
34:10Yes.
34:11Love it.
34:11Listen, Chris, whatever comes your way this year,
34:13there's so many exciting things.
34:15Don't forget about us.
34:16We really want to have Chris back.
34:17We love him in Dictionary Corner.
34:18Thanks for having me.

34:23Not at all.
