00:00Thank you very much.
00:31Well, good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:35Here we are, Monday in July, but way back in the spring,
00:39who could possibly have missed that extraordinary story
00:42about the woman who could feel no pain?
00:45She came from Inverness, she comes from Inverness,
00:47her name is Jo Cameron, she's 71,
00:50and she's one of only two people in the whole world
00:54who suffer from a rare genetic condition,
00:57which means that they can't feel any pain.
00:59Not only pain, actually, but it says here, fear or anxiety.
01:04And now, of course, the scientists are all fun trying to work out what she's got
01:08and whether they could put it into tablets and give to people.
01:10Amazing, really.
01:11But imagine sort of, she'd be sort of chatting to the cat
01:16and leaning on the hot plate.
01:18Yes.
01:18Amazing, isn't it?
01:20What about you and pain?
01:21I'll tell you the worst pain.
01:22May I get my story in first?
01:25Wimperingly painful.
01:27Wimperingly painful.
01:28Very simple, carpal tunnel stuff.
01:32I couldn't believe it could be so sore.
01:35Extraordinary.
01:36Have you endured almost intolerable pain?
01:38Not like that.
01:38My Zader used to get that, yeah.
01:40His hands used to cramp up
01:41and then you have to kind of straighten them out, don't you?
01:43Doesn't it pleasant?
01:44Yeah.
01:44Yeah.
01:44No, I've not had anything like that, luckily.
01:46The worst I've ever had is the football to the boob.
01:49I think we're going to move on.
01:51We're moving on slightly.
01:53He's back.
01:54He's back, Rachel.
01:55James Horton.
01:57Great score.
01:58125 on Friday.
02:00A great player.
02:00But now you've got to get past Ian Syme, who I think is a very, very...
02:06Not everybody represents Scotland at Bridge and has done so for something like 20 years.
02:11Is that right?
02:12That's right, yes.
02:12That's fantastic.
02:14A retired tax accountant.
02:15And now you've taken up teaching the game since your retirement.
02:20That's right.
02:21I think I teach people who have been playing for about five years
02:26and need to move out of the beginners' tournaments,
02:28which are clogging up for the new learners,
02:31and into the leagues and club tournaments and things.
02:33Anyway, well done for what you're doing for Bridge in Scotland.
02:37And have fun today, both of you.
02:39Big round of applause for James and Ian.
02:45Ian, I go in the corner, Susie, of course,
02:48and a fellow citizen of Edinburgh,
02:52the wonderful comedian and impressionist, Rory Bremner.
02:55Rory, welcome back.
03:02Wonderful.
03:04OK, James.
03:06You're no stranger to this.
03:07I'll leave you to get on with it yourself.

04:21Ian?
04:22In that case, a safe seven.
04:24And what would that be?
04:25Pirates.
04:26Pirates. Now, how much of a risk is this, James?
04:29Operatize.
04:31Hmm.
04:32Ooh.
04:34Yes, it is.
04:36No.
04:36Is there?
04:37No.
04:46That's brilliant. To turn something into an opera.
04:48Exactly right, yes. Put it into operatic form.
04:51And your nine in the corner?
04:53We weren't near operatize it. Very well done.
04:56That's brilliant.
04:57Yeah.
04:57That's brilliant. A bitter, bitter pill for Ian, that one.

06:24It's absolutely fine.
06:25Mm.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Rory?
06:29We had ungraded.
06:31Yes.
06:32Which I think that's how many?
06:34That's an eight.
06:34That would give you one more.
06:35Very good.
06:36Anything else, Susie?
06:36That was tops for us.
06:38I'm graded.
06:40Now, James, it's your numbers game.
06:43Four large again, please.
06:44Thank you, James.

07:37900.
07:39A 900.
07:41James?
07:44100 plus 75 is 175.
07:48Yep.
07:49Multiply by the 5 for 875.
07:52Yep.
07:53Add the 25 and take away the 1.
07:56Yep, two away. 899, lovely.
07:58Well done, well done.
08:00Rachel, can you make it 897?
08:03Yes, I've found a way.
08:05If instead you say 100 plus the 50 for 150,
08:095 plus 1 is 6 and times those together for 900,
08:14you have 75 over 25 left over for your 3 to take away for 897.
08:18Terrific.
08:19Lovely.
08:24And now it's time for our first key time teaser,
08:26which is Spook Crab and the clue.
08:28They took bets on who would win the fight and documented it all in this.
08:33They took bets on who would win the fight and documented it all in this.

13:45And James?
13:46Exactly the same.
13:47There we go.
13:49Very good.
13:50Well done.
13:55Well done Ian.
13:56Off the blocks there.
13:57As we turn to Rory.
13:59Rory, you're a linguist.
14:00I think at university you read German and French?
14:03Yep.
14:03And now you've got a bit of Russian and you translate from English into these languages.
14:08Yeah, I was very lucky.
14:09We had a really good language teacher at school who's still alive called Derek Swift and he's
14:15retired, lives in Somerset now.
14:16And he just inspired us because teaching us French, we had 24 in the class and I think
14:2221 got A's at O level and he would just scribble on the board all the other different languages.
14:27He'll say, as you'll remember from your Serbo-Croat, I mean write something in Serbo-Croat or write
14:31something in Russian.
14:32And I was just inspired.
14:34It was wonderful.
14:34So, six of us did Russian in our spare time.
14:37But I've forgotten it all.
14:39I mean, you're another Russian speaker.
14:41I know.
14:42You speak Russian?
14:43I speak a little bit.
14:44It's a very difficult language.
14:47It's a difficult language.
14:48Very.
14:49Very.
14:49But do you think, has Pasha ever said this to you?
14:53I remember the wonderful moment of the first day of the appearance of the world, as a
14:58without a light light, as a pure beauty of the pure beauty.
15:02Never.
15:06She said three words and I didn't understand what she said.
15:09It's a love poem by Pushkin.
15:11How wonderful.
15:12And so if you ever meet this, it's worth learning.
15:15But he taught us also about just the fun with language with words.
15:18You know what the Russian is for station, right?
15:20Vauxhall.
15:21So the Russian for station is Vauxhall.
15:23And this is because there was a Russian delegation of politicians who came to London.
15:27They were traveling to Waterloo.
15:29And one of them said to their host, they said, what do you call this place here?
15:34And they were going through Vauxhall.
15:35So he said, oh, this is Vauxhall.
15:37He said, oh, Vauxhall.
15:38Vauxhall.
15:39And he thought he meant this.
15:40So it was the station.
15:42Yeah.
15:42So now the Russian for station is Vauxhall, which is brilliant.
15:46And, of course, you know the word bistro.
15:48Bistro comes from the Russian word for quickly, which is bostro.
15:53So bostro, supposedly, because when the Russians were passing through Paris after the Napoleonic
15:57Wars, they would go into the cafes, bang the table, go bostro, bostro.
16:01And that, supposedly, is the origin of a bistro.
16:05But language is full of these wonderful things.
16:07And that's what Derek Swift taught us.
16:09And that's why I love language.
16:11Lovely.
16:13I love you.
16:15Lovely.
16:16You get passion to say all that to you.
16:18I will.
16:18I will.
16:19Having got a translation underneath.
16:20He's been slacking.
16:21Brilliant.
16:2256 to 10.
16:24Now, James, your letters came.

19:16Suck with a phone.
19:17I don't think we could do better than that, could we?
19:20No, we couldn't.
19:21It was a tough one.
19:22Otherwise, Jan, two soaks and various fives.
19:24That's it?
19:24The soaks are the best, yes.
19:2669 plays 23.
19:28James, you're on home ground here.
19:30It's the maths game.

20:23Well, James?
20:249, 7, 3, not written down.
20:26Two away. And Ian?
20:28Not close enough.
20:29No. Over to you, James.
20:3250 multiplied by 25 is 1,250.
20:36Yep.
20:38100 plus 1 is 101.
20:41101.
20:43Multiply the 101 by 2 for 202.
20:47202.
20:48Take that off the 1,250 for 1,048.
20:531,000, yep, 48.
20:55And then take away 75 for 9, 7, 3.
20:57Well done. 9, 7, 3. Fantastic.
21:00Excellent. Well done.
21:04Is it possible to get closer, Rachel?
21:06That's probably the only time I had no idea what James was doing,
21:09but he got the best possible answer there.
21:11He did?
21:11So very, very, very well done.
21:12Well done, James. All right.
21:1576, base 23.
21:16As we go into our second Teatime Teaser,
21:19which is gave a drab.
21:21And the clue, he gave a drab impression of himself
21:24when he resorted to idle gossip and drivel.
21:28He gave a drab impression of himself
21:30when he resorted to idle gossip and drivel.
21:50Welcome back.
21:51I left you with the clue.
21:52He gave a drab impression of himself
21:54when he resorted to idle gossip and drivel.
21:57And the answer to that is that he resorted to bavardage.
22:03Now, what is a bavard?
22:05I don't know this word.
22:06It's a French word.
22:07OK, well, bavardage is simply idle gossip and gossip-mongering.
22:12And to be bavard in French is just to be really talkative and garrulous.
22:16OK.
22:16And that's where it comes from.
22:18Interesting.
22:19Yes.
22:19A new word, bavardage.
22:21OK.
22:2276 plays 23.

25:10Thank you, James.
25:12Mishrule.
25:13And?
25:14Moilers.
25:15And moilers.
25:16Yes, moilers and toilers, people who work very hard.
25:19OK.
25:20Yes.
25:21Now, anything else, Susie?
25:23No.
25:24Can't beat that, I'm afraid.
25:2789 plays 30.
25:28Susie, what have you been toiling over, or even moiling over?
25:34I'm going to talk a little bit about the history of the Goths.
25:41There's a lovely definition in the Urban Dictionary.
25:43It's not the Oxford Dictionary this time, which I just think is lovely.
25:46So I'm going to read it out to you.
25:48Goths understand that the best and most lasting joy is tinged with a little sadness,
25:52and that all love is bittersweet.
25:55Sunlit skies are beautiful, yes, but so are dark, cloudy ones.
25:58What is white without black?
26:00What is a rose without thorns?
26:02And so it's all about embracing the shadows as well as the sun, which I think sums it up beautifully.
26:07So you will have guessed that Goth is short for Gothic, the medieval term for architecture and literature.
26:14There's been talk of the Goths since Viking times.
26:17No one quite knows where Goth itself comes from as a name, but of course they go back to ancient
26:22history.
26:23They were a Germanic tribe.
26:25They invaded Rome in the 3rd century.
26:27They were said to have had a role in the fall of the Roman Empire.
26:30And the Romans, of course, considered them to be uncivilized barbarians.
26:35They didn't like them at all.
26:36Barbarian, of course, goes back to the Greek for a foreigner that just spoke ba, ba, ba, ba, ba,
26:40and they couldn't understand what they were saying.
26:42And that was pretty much how the Romans perceived the Goths.
26:46And if you fast forward to medieval Europe, in spite of the power that the Goths had begun to wield,
26:52Gothic architecture was still seen as really uncultured and barbaric,
26:56as opposed to Renaissance architecture, which had gone before it.
26:59And that architecture, in turn, led to all the horror-based fiction, romance with dark elements as well,
27:06so mystery, suspense, and terror and horror, as they say.
27:09And music, of course, inspired the current Goths, or the modern-day Goths, more than anything.
27:14So there was Gothic rock, which was an offshoot of post-punk era,
27:16so you had De Cure and Joy Division and Bauhaus.
27:19They were all early influences.
27:22So it's a word and a movement, really, that's travelled just throughout history.
27:26I mean, it's such a long way.
27:27And the word itself contains over a thousand years of drama,
27:30and it's really kind of meandered and twisted and turned on its way.
27:34So, yes, I just think it's fascinating.
27:37Brilliant stuff. How interesting.
27:41How interesting.
27:46Well, well.
27:4889 plays 30.

29:01What's your seven?
29:02Matters.
29:03Thank you, matters.
29:04Now then, what sort of risk is this?

30:48Six.
30:49And your six is?
30:51Weapon.
30:51Weapon, indeed.
30:53Now, James, auto pen?
30:57Yes.
30:58So, it's a mechanical device that automatically reproduces your signature,
31:02and it's used typically in situations where you have to sign huge volumes of documents, etc.,
31:08and then you will use an auto pen.
31:10American presidents have got a thing for them, haven't they?
31:13I use it a lot.
31:15You got one?
31:16Helps if you can't write, so...
31:18Or read, so...
31:20Very good.
31:20We only had weapon for us.
31:23That's six letters, so it's not enough.
31:27To beat auto pen.
31:29Very good.
31:30Well done, Laurie.
31:32114 plays, 30.
31:33Ian, into the final numbers game.
31:35Off we go.
31:37One large, please, Rachel.
31:40One large, five and a little for the final time today.
31:42And this last selection is three, ten, eight, four, six, and 25.
31:50And the target, six hundred and thirty-seven.
31:54Six, three, seven.
31:57Whitasy...

32:29Just one away.
32:31And James?
32:316, 3, 7.
32:33Yes, how did you get there?
32:3625 multiplied by 6 is...
32:38450.
32:39Add the 10.
32:41160.
32:42Multiplied by 4.
32:446, 3, 7.
32:45And then take away the 3.
32:46Perfect. 6, 3, 7.
32:48Well done.
32:48Excellent start.
32:54Well done, James.
32:55Excellent.

33:10Let's see whether you're right.
33:12Underline.
33:18Very good.
33:22Well, James, I think you're getting into your stride now.
33:26I think you've done very well.
33:28Oh, Ian Syme.
33:29Nobody wants to take this chap on, and unfortunately...
33:32Actually, you did very well.
33:33Thank you very much for coming.
33:35Take this goodie bag back.
33:36Great luck with driving on the great game of Bridgen in Scotland.
33:41Thank you very much.

34:06Yes.
34:06See you both.
34:06See you then.
34:07And Rachel.
34:08Yes, and I'm going home to Badger Pasha to read me some Pushkin.
34:11So far, all I'm getting is Russian nursery rhymes about animals, so I need to up the level.
34:15Perfect.
34:15Tell us how you get on tomorrow.
34:17See you then.
34:17See you then.
