00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon, and it's the third Monday in January.
00:35Known the world over as Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.
00:40Apparently somebody's tried to work out why that is, some sort of pseudoscience really,
00:45but the truth of the matter is that nobody knows.
00:49But I don't feel miserable.
00:50Well, I do feel miserable, Rachel H., because I'm something of a depressive in the mornings.
00:55But one only has to think, what's so bad?
00:59And then get in the shower.
01:01And as soon as I'm in the shower, all the worries of the world wash away.
01:05How about that?
01:06There's an image for everybody.
01:10No, but I think, you know, if we just concentrate and count our blessings,
01:13actually the world doesn't perhaps seem as bad as we think it is at the time.
01:17How about you?
01:18Do you worry about things?
01:20Not particularly, especially this time of year, because last week was my birthday.
01:24Yeah.
01:24This week's Pasha's birthday, so while everyone else is going on a diet and being all miserable,
01:27we're still partying.
01:28Well done.
01:29But I think you can't beat a good kitten or puppy or panda or cute animal video to cheer you
01:34up.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Or a hot shower.
01:35Anything that's going wrong, you just, or a hot shower.
01:37Yeah, each to their own.
01:38I'll stick to my kittens and you can, I don't know if you're Brillo padding in the shower
01:41or whatever you're doing to wash those troubles away, but it's working for you.
01:44Indeed it is.
01:46Every morning.
01:47Every morning.
01:48Whether you need it or not.
01:49Exactly.
01:50Jake was back, Rachel.
01:51Look at this young chap.
01:52Politics student from Newcastle.
01:55Big language student, two, seven languages.
01:57He's got 600s built and he's learning Welsh and he's on his fourth win now.
02:02But now you've got to get past Mary Bainbridge, a retired teacher from Lechlaid.
02:08Lechlaid, very pretty town in Blostershire and loves visiting friends all over the world.
02:13And as a teacher, you went off as a young woman.
02:17Yes.
02:18And taught in Uganda at the time of Idi Amin, my word.
02:22Well, I went there before Idi Amin and I'd been there three months when the coup occurred.
02:27All right.
02:27Yes.
02:28Well, good luck to you today, Mary.
02:31And let's have a big round of applause for Mary and Jacob.
02:37And over in the corner, sitting next to Susie Dent,
02:41and the wonderful Richard Arnold, journalist, TV and radio presenter.
02:45Look at him.
02:45So much fun.
02:49And to kick things off, it's Jacob's letters game.

12:46I did 100 times five.

12:49Seven times seven is 49.
12:52Yeah.

13:07That'll do.
13:08Well done.
13:08555 again.
13:13So, 42 for Mary, Jacob on 36, as we turn to Richard Arnold.
13:19So, somebody's talked you into taking your clothes off on television, Richard.
13:24I know.
13:24What's going on?
13:25What took you so long, Nick?
13:28Yes.
13:28I've had 21 years in breakfast television, and I've tried everything over the years.
13:33A little bit of you dies every time you go in there in the morning, because I'm always
13:36the last to know what's going to happen to me.
13:38And you open up the dressing room, and it's DR5, if you ever need anything, Susie.
13:43Direct line for you.
13:45And you walk in, and you'll see a costume in there, and you'll think, what on earth are
13:48we doing today?
13:49So, the last sort of 12 months have seen me dressed up as a shark for the launch of,
13:54wait for it, Sharknado 5.
13:56Charlize Theron, as well.
13:58They decide to style me out as the blonde bombshell herself, by giving me a wig that
14:02made me look like Grayson Perry.
14:05Tom Cruise, and a fake bottom.
14:07Who knew?
14:09That could never be said in the same sentence.
14:12But, someone on the internet, who clearly works as hard as I do, had established that
14:16there must have been a bottom double at one point in one of Tom's films.
14:20So, they took one of Kate Garraway's old bras, and stuffed it with padding, and started
14:26out into a bottom for me.
14:28It won't make rear of the year, but it was a moment my mum's cherished ever since she
14:33saw it on national television.
14:34But the real rub came, every pun intended, when they said, would you, I have a Love Island
14:39makeover.
14:41It was one of the biggest shows on TV last year, coming back to our screens later this
14:44year, as well.
14:45So, the Love Island maker involved me in a muscle suit.
14:49So, when they put this muscle suit on me, I mean, it was right up here, it was ridiculous.
14:52And I thought, you know what, if we're going to do this, we're going to go out, and we're
14:54going to do it in the bath.
14:57With a pair of shorts on, obviously.
14:59Quite.
14:59And they bronzed me up, and they actually painted on the abs.
15:03Yeah.
15:04A little bit of shading here, just to give a bit of lift.
15:06And I became known as the Dad Bod.
15:10Dad Bod.
15:11So, yeah, Dad Bod was born, and I got away with it.
15:15You are a card, you really are extraordinary.
15:18Come on, big round of applause for Richard.
15:24Game for everything.
15:25Richard Arnold, thank you so much.
15:26Now, Jacob, your letters game.
15:29Can I start with a consonant again, please, Rachel?
15:31Thank you, Jacob.
15:32M.
15:33And another.

16:38And another vowel.
16:38And now.
16:39Yes, Jacob.

16:59Impolite, yep.
17:00That was our big one.
17:01All right.
17:02So 50 to 36, my word, things are getting tight.
17:05Now, my word, have a care, Jacob.
17:07It's Mary's letters game.
17:09Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
17:12Thank you, Mary.

18:21Yes.
18:22Duskier.
18:23Yeah.
18:24I could go on, Nick.
18:25What about Susie?
18:27There's an unusual one in there.
18:30It's still a seven, but it's dudeism.
18:32And that is the condition or quality of being a dude.
18:36I quite like that one.
18:38Dudeism.
18:39It's the indefinable characteristics of being a dude.
18:41Too many.
18:42But dudeish behaviour generally is dudeism.
18:45What is a dude's behaviour?
18:47I think it's going to say something quite old-fashioned in here.
18:50I think it could be blocked.
18:51No.
18:52Stylish, confident, sometimes elaborately dressed,
18:57but it's a whole lot more than that.
18:57Is it a sort of dandy?
18:59It used to be.
19:00It used to be, yes, like a sort of macaroni.
19:02Oh, hey, dudes.
19:03Nonetheless, very American.
19:06It is, Susie.
19:07I don't care.
19:07Fifty-seven plays, forty-three.

24:15I bet they've scored heavily in the corner.
24:18Richard?
24:19If you put jail together with jilt, yes, eight, but no.
24:25But you can't.
24:26But you can't.
24:26So, jail.
24:28And Susie?
24:29That was a jilt, yes.
24:31Lots and lots of fours.
24:32We couldn't do better than that.
24:33Well done.
24:34Sorry.
24:3471 to 64, Susie.
24:37Come, take the pressure off of them.
24:38They're heading for a crucial conundrum if they're not careful.
24:42So, now it's your origins of words, Susie.
24:45Well, I was talking a while ago about the origin of paying through the nose,
24:49which is a rather strange expression, where that came from.
24:51And I didn't quite have time to throw in some more nosy facts,
24:55because Richard said to me he's long been teased for his nose.
24:58I'm not quite sure why.
25:00I thought I would just explain a little bit about how nose operates in English,
25:05because there are so many, literally hundreds and hundreds of expressions,
25:08which involve our nose in some way in the English language.
25:12So, you can get up someone's nose, you can have your nose in front,
25:15you can have your nose out of joint, you can win by a nose, look down your nose,
25:19or stick your nose up.
25:21You can lean into shock with your nose.
25:22You can.
25:23You can keep your nose clean, or you can cut off your nose to spite your face.
25:28And that's really, really old.
25:30But, in fact, it wasn't recorded until 1785 in Francis Grosse's favourite classical diction of the vulgar tongue,
25:37which he collected all the vocabulary and the vernacular of the common people,
25:41as opposed to the literature that Samuel Johnson collected.
25:44And he was the first to mention it.
25:46He said,
25:46When someone cuts off his nose to be revenged of his face,
25:49said by one who, to be revenged of his neighbour, has materially injured himself.
25:54But, obviously, it was in circulation long, long before that.
25:58But you will also find noses hidden in other words, for example, nes.
26:02We talk about Loch Ness, Inver Ness.
26:04That actually is a form of nose, and it refers to a headland or a promontory nearby.
26:11Nozzle was a 17th century slang form of nose, and schnozzle is the Yiddish version.
26:16And lots and lots of noses in crime as well.
26:19So, you can be a narc, a snitch, or a snout.
26:24All of those are terms for someone who sticks their nose in, if you like, as an informer, in that
26:30sense.
26:30First, Nosy Parker appeared in the postcard caption from 1907,
26:34The Adventures of Nosy Parker, which referred to a peeping tom in Hyde Park.
26:40Now, nosy is self-explanatory.
26:42That's quite an old sense of, again, somebody who's quite inquisitive and curious,
26:46and possibly having a big nose, which you obviously haven't.
26:49But the common surname Parker was originally given to caretakers of parks or large enclosures of land.
26:56So, the idea was of a parkkeeper who liked spying, perhaps, voyeuristically,
27:00on couples who were canoodling in the park.
27:03Oh, I see.
27:07Perfect. Thank you so much.
27:09Brilliantly done.
27:1071 to 64, Mary on 71, and it's Mary's letters game.
27:16Mary.
27:16Consonant, please, Rachel.
27:17Thank you, Mary.
27:45And lastly, R.
27:47Stand by.
27:48We'll see you next time.
27:51We'll see you next time.
27:55Bye-bye.
27:59Bye-bye.
28:01Bye-bye.
28:03Bye-bye.
28:04Bye-bye.
28:04Bye-bye.
28:18Well, Mary?
28:20Six.
28:21Now, Jacob?
28:22Seven.
28:23Mary?
28:24Jens.
28:25And Jacob?
28:26Warners.
28:27Yeah, I think you can be a warner.
28:30You can.
28:31So, in the dictionary, somebody simply gives a warning.
28:34Very good.
28:35Well done indeed.
28:36And it takes you level pegging with Mary now.
28:3871 apiece.
28:39But before we carry on, let's turn to the corner.
28:43Narrows.
28:44Seven.
28:44Yeah.
28:45Yeah, and warrens as well.
28:47Rabbit warrens.
28:49Very good.
28:49So, 71 apiece.
28:51Danger zone.
28:52Jacob?
28:53Last letters came for you.
28:55Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
28:57Thank you, Jacob.
28:58G.
28:59And another one.
29:01W.
29:03And another one.
29:05P.
29:07And a vowel.
29:09A.
29:11And another vowel.
29:13E.
29:15And another vowel.
29:18O.
29:20And a consonant.
29:23H.
29:25Another consonant.
29:27L.
29:30And I will go for another consonant.
29:35And lastly, S.
29:37Stand by.
30:05And are you going for another vowel.
30:07And another vowel.
30:09Jacob, only a five on that one.
30:11Mary?
30:12Six.
30:13Jacob?
30:14Peels.
30:15Now Mary?
30:16Wales.
30:17Wales.
30:18Very good, yes.
30:20Richard?
30:21Shape.
30:22Shape and Susie?
30:24Galosh.
30:25You can have a single galosh and that will give you a six.
30:28He's only got one galosh.
30:30Mary has sped six points into the lead.
30:32Now 77 to 71 as we turn to the final numbers game.
30:36Mary?
30:38Five small ones and one big one, please, Rachel.
30:40Thank you, Mary.
30:41And your last chance to avoid a crucial conundrum.
30:43This final numbers game of the day is one, five, ten, eight, nine, and a large one, 50.
30:52And the target, 693.
30:55Six, nine, three.

31:26Well, Mary?
31:28693.
31:29Jacob?
31:30Only 691.
31:32Mary?
31:349 plus 5 is 14.
31:36It is.
31:37Times 50 is 700.
31:40And 8 minus 1 is 7, and take it away.
31:43Well done, you're over the line.
31:44691.
31:45Well done.
31:52Well done, Mary.
31:5387 to Jacob.
31:5471.
31:56Final round, chaps.
31:57Fingers on buzzers.
31:59Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:06Jacob?
32:07Firepower.
32:08Firepower.
32:09Let's see whether you're right.
32:10Firepower.
32:11Here it is.
32:11Firepower.
32:20Well done, Mary.
32:22Beat a great player there.
32:23A great player.
32:24Already had four wins.
32:26Yes.
32:26And he was, he was, he was, well you were leading him all the way actually, and then he started
32:30to creep back.
32:31Yes.
32:31And then, oh, Jacob, I'm rather sorry for you because you know you've played so well.
32:38Been a very good contestant.
32:40You got a teapot at least.
32:41That is what I came for.
32:42Yes.
32:43You've got four wins.
32:45And actually, that one slip cost you one little slip.
32:49Always the way, isn't it?
32:51Listen, thanks for coming.
32:52Good luck with the Welsh.
32:54Good luck with the politics study.
32:56We look forward to seeing you in there on the green benches, giving him hell.
33:01How's that?
33:01In the years to come.
33:03Well done.
33:04Mary.
33:05Well done.
33:06Fantastic.
33:07We shall see you tomorrow.
33:08Yes.
33:08Well done indeed.
33:10We will not sadly be seeing Richard Arnold because it's our last time until you come
33:18back again.
33:19It's beautiful.
33:21I'll manage.
33:23Listen, it's been great fun having you.
33:25The stories are wonderful.
33:27I love it.
33:27And I know that, you know, you work very hard and you've got to get back and thank you
33:33so much for coming.
33:34My pleasure always, isn't it?
33:35Brilliant.
33:35And we'll see you tomorrow, Susie.
33:38Of course you will.
33:39All right.
33:39Are you seeing other people?
33:40I am afraid I am.
33:44Now then, Rachel.
33:46We're sorry to see Jacob go, actually.
33:48I know.
33:48He's a good player, wasn't he?
33:49I blame last week the break from Countdown.
33:51He was obviously at the darts, drinking beer, counting down from three-digit numbers rather
33:55than counting up.
33:56Exactly.
33:56It's all about the darts.
33:57All right.
33:58And tomorrow, who's there?
33:59Instead of Richard, we've got...
34:01We've got a Countdown newbie in tomorrow.
34:03We've got Raj Bizaram.
34:04Indeed.
34:05Let's hope he's as much fun as that Richard Arnold is.
34:08Anyway, we'll find out tomorrow.
34:10See you then.
34:10See you then.
34:11Join us then.
34:12Same time, same place.
