00:18Thank you very much.
00:31Well, good afternoon. Welcome to Countdown Studio.
00:33A very interesting article I had read recently, Rachel,
00:36about young people who were more able to identify music
00:40from older generations than their own generation.
00:44Well, that's interesting.
00:45It was a survey, you got it, in New York between 18 and 25-year-olds
00:51and they were playing music and they were asked to identify them
00:54and they found it so much easier to name those songs
00:58from the 60s and 90s than from their own generation.
01:01And I personally find it very, very difficult,
01:05not so much with songs, but with orchestral music,
01:09even if I know it well, to actually recall the name.
01:14Do you suffer from that or is it just my own stupidity?
01:17With classical music?
01:18Hmm?
01:19No, with classical music I wouldn't be able to name anything.
01:21But the 60s and 90s stuff, I can totally relate to it
01:24because it's the stuff that's nostalgic that you hear when you're younger
01:26that resonates and that sticks in your mind, doesn't it?
01:29So all the stuff that my parents used to play,
01:30like the Four Seasons and the Beatles.
01:32Yeah, yeah.
01:33You know, you're going to know that for the rest of your life
01:34because it's the first thing you listen to.
01:36And then I went to, a few years ago, I went to a 90s night
01:39and heard songs that I hadn't heard since I was, you know, 10
01:42or since my teen years.
01:44And you know every single word
01:46because it just comes with that time of your life
01:47where you know the music.
01:49You've made a great point,
01:50which the authors of this particular report failed to make.
01:54Terrible.
01:54Poor.
01:55Poor.
01:55Poor.
01:56I should have a word.
01:57I know, I will.
01:58Certainly you're going to get involved in the next survey at that time.
02:01Rachel, we've got him back.
02:02James Horton from the University of Manchester,
02:05PhD student in Applied Mathematics, I understand.
02:08Yes, indeed it is.
02:10Well, it's proving its worth.
02:12It certainly is.
02:13Enjoying yourself.
02:14Two wins.
02:151-1-8 and 1-0 something?
02:171-0-3, was it?
02:181-0-3, yes.
02:19Well done.
02:20Well done.
02:20There's always somebody waiting to snatch your crown.
02:23And today it may well be Sonia Elston,
02:26a retired teacher from Ardfert in the county of Kerry.
02:31Is that right?
02:31Yes.
02:32But actually, you're an Englishwoman born in Lancashire?
02:36No, born in Yorkshire.
02:38Yorkshire.
02:38Yes.
02:39You don't leave it alone because down in Kerry,
02:41you organise the Jester of the Kingdom.
02:43Give us a sort of snapshot of what that is,
02:46the Jester of the Kingdom.
02:48Well, it's just a humorous poetry competition
02:51where poets write stuff like Pam Ayres
02:54and come along on a night and perform before judges
02:58for cash prizes.
03:00Excellent.
03:01And it's good fun.
03:01It's great fun.
03:03And this is annual thing, is it all?
03:05It is, yes.
03:06Oh, good fun.
03:07Yes.
03:07Well, look, have an enjoyable day here today, both of you.

05:20I had Frisk for five.
05:22One of the seven that we did have was Troikas, the Russian vehicles, Troikas.
05:27Yeah, should it be a three, of course.

08:08Seven, 20.
08:09Let's stick with James, then, shall we, for the moment?
08:1250 divided by 25 is two.
08:14It is indeed.
08:16100 plus two is 102.
08:19And then multiply that by seven.
08:21Perfect.
08:21714.

12:35A box.
12:38There's only one T, unfortunately.
12:40I have a bit of a blind spot myself on this one.
12:43But it's a double T when you're talking about abutting or abutted.
12:46But in the third person singular, it is just one T, I'm afraid.
12:50Sorry.
12:51That's hard luck indeed.
12:52Now, Rory and Susie.
12:53Rory?
12:55Heading for caustic but needed another C, so attics was also six.
12:59You had one.
13:00Yes.
13:01Cubits.
13:01Ancient measure of length.
13:03About the length of a forearm.
13:04A cubit.
13:05There you are.
13:06That's a cubit.
13:07A cubit.
13:09Depends who's a forearm.
13:10Really, whatever.
13:11That's very true.
13:12We'll take Rory's forearm as being the cubit.

14:32OK.

14:36And yesterday you spoke wonderfully and impersonated Tony Benn.
14:41And we all loved, and actually thank goodness he was never Prime Minister.
14:44But you've got another great person that you want to talk about today.
14:49Mr Mandela?
14:50President Mandela?
14:51My favourite Nelson Mandela story.
14:53Do you remember Frank Dobson?
14:55Yes.
14:55The Labour MP.
14:57With the beard.
14:57Yeah, it was old Frank Dobson.
14:59He was Health Secretary.
15:00We were talking about getting more money in the health service.
15:03And he met Mandela.
15:04He met Mandela twice.
15:05And the second time, Nelson Mandela said,
15:07Ah, hello, Frank.
15:09Good to see you again.
15:11And Frank Dobson, he was so nonplussed.
15:15He didn't know what to say.
15:16So there was an awkward silence.
15:17And Mandela said,
15:19You don't remember me, don't you, Frank?
15:24What a lovely story.
15:27What a lovely story.
15:28I remember watching when he came out of prison, that walk.
15:34It was just a great historical moment, wasn't it?
15:37It was a wonderful moment.
15:38I spent a lot of time in South Africa around the sort of turn of the millennium.
15:41And I used to often ring up restaurants and try and book a table as Mandela.
15:46I would like my usual table.
15:49Overlooking Robin Island.
15:53And I did run, you know, Roger Taylor, the drummer with Queen.
15:56And he was doing the Nelson Mandela concert.
15:59And myself and a friend back in England decided to play a bit of a trick on him.
16:03So I got my friend to ring up Roger's number.
16:05And say, Mr. Taylor, I've got the president of South Africa for you.
16:09Oh, he said, put it, put it through.
16:11So I said, is that not right, Roger Taylor?
16:15I would like you to play some requests for me.
16:19So, yes, of course, what would you like?
16:20Could you play, I want to break free.
16:26Very, very childish.
16:28I'm sorry.
16:28Great fun.
16:29I'm beautifully done.
16:31Very good.
16:32Thanks, Rory.
16:34Now, James, we're back with you.

17:55Swains, yes.
17:56And James?
17:58Cosines.
17:59Cosines is absolutely fine.
18:01I don't think it's hyphenated anymore.
18:02It's not.
18:03It's all one word.
18:04Yeah, very good.
18:05Cosines, good.
18:06Now, what of the corner?
18:07We had swains as well, but also casinos.
18:11Ah, casinos.

19:45Excellent.
19:45Well done.
19:46Well done.
19:51Yeah, and that stacks up the points, doesn't it?
19:54Brilliant.
19:5573 to seven.
19:56Good score as we turn to a numbers game for James.
20:01Full large again, please.
20:02Full large.
20:03Your favourite.
20:03All the top ones in two litlands.
20:05Thank you, James.
20:06This time we have five and four.
20:08And the big ones.
20:0925, 100, 50 and 75.
20:13And the target, 139.
20:17One, three, nine.
20:19One, three, nine.
20:22One, three, nine.
20:48Well, James?
20:49Just 140.
20:52140. How about Sonia?
20:54Nowhere, no. 129.
20:56129. Let's stick with James for the moment, shall we? James?
21:0075 minus 5 is 70.
21:03Yep.
21:0550 divided by 25 is 2.
21:07Here it is.
21:09And multiply them together to get 140.
21:11140, one away, yep.
21:13I tried. Can you track down that missing one, Rachel?
21:16There were a couple of ways. You could have said 100 plus 25 plus 4 for 129,
21:23and then 50 divided by 5 gives you 10 for 139.
21:28Well done.
21:31That's the way it's done, James.
21:34All right. 80 points is not bad, though.
21:36Let's have a tea-time teaser, shall we?
21:38Second of the day, and it's stiff root.
21:41And the clue, he could hold his own in the kitchen and would regularly prepare this.
21:46He could hold his own in the kitchen and would regularly prepare this.
22:07Welcome back. I left with the clue, he could hold his own in the kitchen and would regularly prepare this.
22:13Yes, he'd prepare soffrito.
22:15Susie Dent.
22:17Hmm.
22:17Soffrito?
22:18Well, it comes from the Italian meaning lightly fried, and in Spanish and Italian cooking,
22:23it's a mixture of lightly fried onions and garlic with tomatoes and other veg used as a base for soups
22:29and stews.
22:30Sounds nice.
22:30Sounds good.
22:31Hmm.
22:32Thank you, Soffrito.
22:34Now, Sonia, it's your letters game.

23:57Rory, Susie?
23:58Can't beat that.
23:59I can't.
24:01No.

25:26James.
25:27Eight.
25:28An eight.
25:29And Sonia.
25:31A dodgy seven.
25:32And your dodgy seven is?
25:35Foister.
25:36A foister.
25:38Somebody who foists something on somebody, is it?
25:40James.
25:41Rotary.
25:42Yes, rotaries is excellent.
25:45No foister, unfortunately, not in the dictionary.
25:47Sorry about that, Sonia.
25:48Rory, Susie.
25:50We had frostier.
25:52Yep, that's another eight.
25:53For eight.
25:54And we also have the Australian term, well, farters, it can be what you think it means,
25:59but also in Australian English, it's a bed or a sleeping bag, a farter.
26:02And to hit the farter is to go to bed.
26:05That would be Australian.
26:06Only in Australia.
26:07I'm just going to hit the farter, mate.
26:11Yeah.
26:12God bless them.
26:1395 to 14.
26:15Good score there.
26:16Susie, what dish have you prepared for us today?
26:21Well, I could answer with frog's legs, because I'm going to talk about frogs today in English.
26:27And I'm going to start with the expression, having a frog in your throat.
26:30And there's quite a strong belief that that goes back to medieval superstition, when physicians would try to cure a
26:38sore throat by putting a frog into the mouth and letting it secrete whatever it secreted.
26:45And that would sort of magically cure the virus.
26:48Sounds completely preposterous, and the dates don't quite match, but it is true, there is evidence that actually holding a
26:56frog in a child's mouth in the 1600s was indeed meant to cure some kind of viral infection.
27:03But as I say, the dates don't quite match, but certainly medieval belief in the power of frogs was pretty
27:08strong.
27:10Moving on, I should just say that the word frog comes from a very, very old word meaning to leap,
27:15which makes utter sense.
27:18And frog marching.
27:20Frog marching originated as tribal slang amongst London police officers, so you would find this in a prison, because police
27:28officers very often would carry a reculcitrant prisoner or a drunken prisoner indeed.
27:33They would get four of them, and they would each hold the limb so that the prisoner would be facing
27:37downwards, and the prisoner would essentially look like a splayed frog.
27:41And then it turned into the slightly less frog-like manoeuvre of pinning someone's arm behind their back and frog
27:47marching them that way, and of course we use it figuratively today.
27:50But going back to the frog in the throat, as I say, probably nothing to do with the live frog
27:54that was once held in the mouth, and everything to do simply with the fact that you sound a bit
27:58croaky.
27:59A bit croaky.
28:0695 to 14.
28:08Now, Sonia, penultimate letters game.
28:11Off we go.
28:12Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel?

29:23One, two, three, four...
29:24Seven.
29:25And James?
29:27Yeah, I'll just stick with a safe six then, I think.
29:31And your safe six is?
29:32Place.
29:34Sonia, what sort of risk have you taken here?
29:37Planed.
29:38With an I.
29:39Oh, no, it's absolutely fine.
29:40And so, playing in the olden days was to lament.
29:42So, it's fine.
29:44Oh, well done.
29:45Well done.
29:45Excellent.
29:46You've got one over, James.
29:47That's brilliant.
29:49Now, what of the corner?
29:51Rory?
29:52We had eight.
29:53Yes.
29:54Unplaced.
29:55Very good.

31:28And then in comes James.
31:29What's this nine of yours?

31:33Have you got that over there?
31:34Yes.
31:35Well done.
31:36Brilliant.
31:37Well done.
31:37Brilliant.
31:38It's a large Eurasian North American diving duck.
31:41Well done.
31:42Well, well done.
31:44And James.
31:46All right.
31:49Into the final numbers game.
31:51Sonia?
31:53Two large ones, please.
31:55Thank you, Sonia.
31:56Two large, four little.

32:05And the target to reach 742.

32:52Plus 50.
32:54750.
32:55Minus 3 plus 5.
32:57Lovely.
32:57Minus 3 plus 5 for the 8 and 742.
33:00Perfect.
33:01And straight into James and...
33:03Exactly the same.
33:04Same way.
33:04Yep.
33:05Well done.
33:06OK.
33:09So it's James' highest score so far.
33:121, 2, 3.
33:13Sonia's a very creditable 31, bearing in mind James' performance.
33:17As we go into the final round, things on buzzers.
33:20Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:30Yes, James?

33:37Well done.
33:42Very well played, James.
33:441, 3, 3.
33:46Great score.
33:47A great score.
33:48And Sonia, you played very well against a bit of a mastermind here, really.
33:53But thank you so much for coming.
33:55You take this goodie bag back to Ardford in County Kerry, in the Kingdom of Kerry.
34:00And thanks for coming.

34:15See you then.
34:16He's gaining strength.
34:17He is.
34:18But Sonia could well have taken home a teapot on a normal day if James wasn't around, spoiling
34:23the party.
34:23Exactly.
34:24Typical maths student, that.
34:26Absolutely.
34:27We'll see you tomorrow.
34:28See you tomorrow.
34:29Join us then.
