00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown Wednesday afternoon, mid-summer, and we're ready to chill out together again with 15 rounds
00:38of letters and numbers. Thank you so much for tuning in. And hello, Rachel Riley.
00:42Hello, Colin Murray.
00:43Today is Tell an Old Joke Day, which is just brilliant. Old jokes are like your favourite pair of trainers
00:49or that cardigan or sweatshirt that makes you feel like you're at home.
00:53It's like, yeah, you're very familiar with it, but I do think there's an emotional attachment, the old jokes, because
01:00it might remind you of your grandma or stuff like that, Rich.
01:04Maybe. What have you got? What's your favourite?
01:05Oh, I've got loads. I've done a whole list. You know my favourite, but I'm going to save that for
01:09a second.
01:09I said to this train driver, hi, mate, I want to go to Paris. And he said, Eurostar? And I
01:13says, well, I'm on the TV, but I'm no Dean Martin. Come on.
01:17Man walks into a bar with a roll of tarmac under his arm. He says, one for me, one for
01:23the road.
01:24Oh, that is the king of the old joke.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Do you want to know my ones? Yes.
01:29Why can't atheists solve exponential equations?
01:33Why?
01:33Because they don't believe in higher powers.
01:35Yours are worse than mine. I never thought I'd say that.
01:37Yes, I'll take that as a proud crown of honour.
01:39Brings a lovely smile to the face, as does Dictionary Corner all this week.
01:43It's like an oasis of positivity, because we have our Susie Dent, our guardian of the dictionary,
01:49former fastest woman in the world, over 400 metres, Olympian, because once you're an Olympian, you're always an Olympian.
01:55Catherine Mary's here.
01:58Can I tell you my joke?
02:00Yeah.
02:00Why did the banana go to the doctor?
02:03Because he wasn't peeling very well.
02:05Yes.
02:07Everyone's got one, right? Everyone's got one.
02:08Fiona Wood, how are you today?
02:10I'm fine, thanks.
02:11I hope that relaxed you a bit.
02:13You're averaging north of 100 points per episode.
02:16You've got six wins in the bank, but I bet you wish you were home in your garden right now,
02:22just because you love it.
02:24Don't you grow all your veg and all that?
02:26Yeah, I do my best to try and grow something to eat.
02:28Yeah?
02:29What's easy to grow and what's been a nightmare?
02:32I'm not sure that anything seems to be easy to grow.
02:35You can spend six months tending to something and then you end up with nothing at the end of it.
02:39But the excitement from picking your own courgette or your own tomatoes is ridiculous.
02:45Yeah.
02:45Rather than when you can easily buy it in the shop.
02:47Love it.
02:48Character building.
02:49Fiona's going for a seventh win today up against Alan Turnbull.
02:53How are you today?
02:54Good, thanks, Colin.
02:55A bit nervous.
02:56So you're from the middle of nowhere.
02:58Well, you live in the middle of nowhere.
02:59Yeah.
02:59I live about half a mile from my nearest human, which is nice.
03:02Whereabouts is that?
03:04Near Llanduvery in Wales.
03:05And you keep ducks?
03:07I do, yeah.
03:09Muscovy ducks.
03:10Bigger than your average duck.
03:11And you're an outdoors type.
03:12I mean, I got a bit tired just having a look.
03:15Cycling, running, squash.
03:18Such a tough, tough sport.
03:19You give our cast Mary a run for money.
03:21What's your favourite thing to do to keep fit then?
03:24So I've got two puppies as of November last year.
03:27So running with them, tires them out and me.
03:30So that's good.
03:30I love that.
03:31Alan, I feel the best of luck to you today.
03:35Both of them get top filling with us as we get our first letters.
03:39Afternoon, Rachel.
03:40Afternoon, Fiona.
03:41I'll start with a consonant.
03:43Start today with P.

04:55Camped. There you go. Camped, blazing atrial.
04:58Six points for you. Yeah, sixes were there, but beyond that?
05:03As it's Olympic week starting, competed for eight.
05:07Oh, for goodness sake, competed for eight. Well done.
05:10APPLAUSE
05:13A good tent joke. A good tent joke.
05:17Who could resist a good tent joke, Rachel?
05:20I took a poll recently. It turned out 100% of the people in the tent were annoyed.
05:25Are you still working it out?
05:29More letters, Alan.
05:31Hi, Rachel. Hi, Alan. Can I grab a consonant, please?
05:35You can grab an F. And a vowel.

06:47letters. What is it?
06:48Haute, with an E on the end. Haute. And Fiona? Habitue. My goodness me. Haute, H-A-U-T-E,
06:56is in the dictionary. It's absolutely brilliant.
06:57But the other French word, does pipit, is also in the dictionary. And habitue is a frequent visitor to a
07:04particular place.
07:05So you are a habitue of the Countdown Studio. Wonderful. Well done.
07:10APPLAUSE
07:10Anything in dictionary corner to add? Anything in English?
07:13Nothing beyond that. We had ought, A-U-G-H-T, but habitue, top set. Well done.
07:19Right. Let's get on to the numbers for the first time today. Fiona Wood, if you please.
07:23One large and five small, please. Thank you, Fiona. One large. Five little. And for the first time today, your
07:30numbers are five, seven, five, two, seven, and 100. And the target? 471.
07:40Four, seven, one.
07:41Four, seven, one. Number's up.
07:42To be here.
08:10Whoo, three.

08:12All right, 4-7-1, Fiona.
08:154-7-2, not written down.
08:17Missed it. One away. Alan?
08:194-7-2.
08:20Fiona, off you go.
08:215 times 100 is 500.
08:23Yep.
08:257 plus 7 is 14, times 2 is 28, and take it away.
08:29One above. 4-7-2.
08:31And for Alan?
08:32Different way. 100 times 5 is 500.
08:357 times 5, 35.
08:387 times the second 5.
08:394-6-5, add the 7.
08:42Yep, the second 7.
08:43Wow.
08:44Another one away.
08:454-7-1 is no laughing matter here.
08:48Well, if you say 100 minus 7 is 93,
08:52times that by one of the 5s for 465,
08:56and then you can add the second 7 to the second 5
08:59and divide it by 2 for 6 to add on for 4-7-1.
09:02Nice.
09:05OK, first tea tank teaser of this afternoon.

10:56Fiona.
10:58Elects.
10:58Right, there you go.
11:00Comets and Elects.

11:11Seven points for yourself if you manage to get that.
11:13At home as we get more letters, Fiona, we never stop.
11:16Let's go again.
11:17I'll start with a consonant, please.
11:18Thank you, Fiona.

11:49And half a minute.
11:50Dontn.
12:04I didn't feel right.
12:05Oooh.
12:17Yeah.
12:19And another.
12:19Fiona? Six. Alan? Just a five. The five is? Fakes. And the six? Assume. Fakes and assume. Dictionary coin. Yes,
12:30we have a seven. Unmasks. Unmasks. Yeah. It's playing around with that UN for ages. I thought you were. Yeah.
12:38Well done. Well spotted. Unmasks. I like the fact snakes is there as well. Nice little six.
12:43All right. 32. 13. Second numbers round. It was your friend last time, Alan, and seven points and you get
12:50to choose. One from the top and your choice. So five little. Yeah. Not much of a choice there, Alan.
12:57One large five little coming up and they are one, four, three, two, three. Quite small and 75. And the
13:07target 724. 724. Numbers up.
13:42How'd you get on, Alan?
13:43Nowhere near. Fiona? 720.
13:46Four away for seven points. 75 minus two minus one is 72. Yep.
13:54And four plus three plus three is ten and multiply. Yep. 720. Four away.
14:00Excellent. How did we get to 724? The coast is clear for the Riley again.
14:03You can get to one below. Just 723. This was impossible. That's it. All right. Brilliant. We'll move on. 39
14:09.13. Fiona extends her lead a little bit. And all this week, building up to Friday's opening ceremony of Paris
14:172024. Great to have an Olympian in Dixonry corner.
14:20Kath Mary. And we went all the way back to when you went bronze in 2000. One of the most
14:25iconic races. And we tend to get quite giddy about the Olympics.
14:29So it's a Wednesday. We've been here a while. I want to look at the other side that we don't
14:34talk about as much. So like the Athletes Village, for example.
14:37There's a reason why you don't talk about the Athletes Village. There tends to be a little bit of controversy.
14:42Sometimes it's not clean water or it's just... What's been your experience?
14:47Well, you can just imagine you're putting a load of athletes from a variety of sports literally into this venue
14:55for a period of time. You have a massive food hall which caters for everybody across the world with all
15:00the different foods you eat, including some famous fast food restaurants as well for a little treat after you've competed.
15:06But the thing with the Olympics is everybody competes at different times. So for athletics, we're the second week of
15:13the games on the timetable.
15:14So... And the swimmers, for an example, are the first week. And we've always seemed to have an issue with
15:20the noise of the swimmers when they finish their competition and the athletics hasn't started.
15:24In particular, I remember a certain world record holder in the triple jump, Jonathan Edwards, who was on the back
15:31straight in Sydney on the 25th of September.
15:33I ran past him when I won my medal. He was winning the gold medal in the men's triple jump.
15:37And I remember him really vividly not being particularly happy with the noise that the swimmers were making who were
15:43in the house kind of across the road from us because they'd finished and we hadn't competed yet.
15:47So, oh, it can be absolute carnage with so many things going on.
15:51And think of the level of excitement, but also nerves that go around Olympic Village. It's a crazy place. It's
15:57surreal.
15:58Family show. But I heard that because the swimmers always go first and a lot of swimmers are reaching their
16:05peak at like 19, 20, 21 in the party zone.
16:09I heard they're infamous for the parties.
16:12You've heard that?
16:14Yeah.
16:15Swimmers like a bit of party.
16:17Yeah.
16:18Athletes do when we finish in track and field.
16:20Yeah, we do like a little bit of a letting our hair down moment at the end of such a
16:24big deal.
16:25I just want to confirm this. Once we're off air and the mics are turned off, you'll tell us who
16:29party with who, won't you?
16:30100%.
16:31Thank you. That's brilliant. Thank you, Kath.
16:35Back to the game. Fiona, it's on you.
16:38Consonant, please.
16:39Thank you, Fiona.
16:40V.

16:51And a vowel.
16:53O.
16:54And another.
16:56A.
16:57And another.
16:59O.
17:01And a consonant.
17:03T.
17:04And a final vowel, please.
17:07And a final A.
17:09And here we go.

17:29And a vowel.
17:30And a vowel.
17:41Fiona. Five. Yeah. Alan. Only four. A four? Hoot. Yeah. And Fiona, I can only spot one, surely it's the
17:50one. Tooth. Yeah.
17:53I mean, I'm sure Susie and Cass will come to the rescue, but... We won't. No. It's really difficult to
18:01even get a five out of that one.
18:02Yeah. It's tooth or nothing. Right. All right. 44-13. Alan, let's just forget about that round and move on.
18:09Start with a consonant, please. Thank you, Alan. R. And another. D. One more. X. One more. N. And a
18:25vowel, please. O. One more. E. And another. I. And a consonant. L.

19:13And another.
19:14E. And another.
19:15Alan? Six. Six from you. Fiona?
19:19I think I might have an eight. OK, what's the six, Alan?
19:22Exiled. Yes, you might get those points, depends on this eight.
19:26Delirion. Oh, delirious, we know. Delirion.
19:31How are you spelling it? D-E-L-E-R-I-O-N.
19:35Not there, I'm afraid. Closest the dictionary has is deletion,
19:38which obviously we can't have, so they can do. Sorry.
19:41Were you thinking of Back to the Future, the DeLorean?
19:43I don't know, unless you're thinking about delirious.
19:45Maybe I'm getting a bit delirious.
19:47You wish you could go back in time. About 30 seconds.
19:50Yeah. That's good for you, Alan. Happy days.
19:53Take care. We will exile that word. We'll give you your six points.
19:56And Kath, can we add anything?
19:57I don't even know what this word means, but red line?
20:00Red line, yes. Lots of different meanings,
20:02but the main one is to drive above the maximum revs per minute.
20:08Right. Not recommended. No.
20:10Let's motor on then. Fiona, numbers.
20:13I'll have one large and five small, please.
20:16Thank you, Fiona. One from the top five.
20:18Little, let's find a possible one.
20:20This time, your selection is ten.
20:22Six, six, nine, four and fifty.
20:27And the target, 475.
20:30475. Numbers up.
20:32Here's the one.
20:46It's going on.
21:00We can get away with it.
21:02Fiona? 475.
21:05Well done. And Alan? No, I failed.
21:08No, you did not fail. I did. I will not have that word used on Countdown.
21:13You just didn't get there in time. Fiona?
21:166 minus 4 is 2. Yeah.
21:1950 divided by 2 is 25.
21:2210 plus 9 is 19. And multiply them together.
21:25That's the trick, 475.
21:27APPLAUSE
21:29The second three-time teaser is Ably Auto.
21:32Ably Auto. A-B-L-Y.

23:29Yeah, just another six from us.
23:32Mopery?
23:32Mopery.
23:33Is it to mope about?
23:35Dejection.
23:35It's this inner state of mope.
23:37Engaging in mope.
23:38Like Alan when he doesn't get...
23:40He mopes a bit.
23:41Don't they?
23:42Mope-ery.
23:42It's mope-ery for you when you don't get those numbers.
23:45I want to just give you a little hug every time you don't get the numbers.
23:49OK, one more letters round for now, Fiona.

25:01Wonder.
25:01And for you, Fiona?
25:03Dwindle.
25:04Dwindle.
25:04So could someone be a dwindler?
25:06Yeah, I knew that was coming.
25:07Er, no.
25:09Fiona, that's why you're sitting there and I'm sitting here.
25:11Well done not to put the R on the end of that.
25:13To dwindle.
25:14It's lovely, isn't it?
25:15Yes.
25:15Just fade away.
25:16We have one more seven to add.
25:18Yeah.
25:19We do, obviously, inspired by Aston Villa this season with the likes of Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.
25:25Worldie.
25:26A worldie.
25:27A worldie goal.
25:28Well done.
25:29But no dwindler in there.
25:31So let's move on and let's get our origins of words for this Wednesday afternoon.
25:36Suze?
25:36Yeah, no specific correspondent at this time.
25:39But I was just asked by someone at an event that I went to whether there's a link between verse
25:46and reverse, as in verse, poetry and reverse.
25:52And it's a really good question.
25:54And you will find in old poems lovely sentiments like you and I are verse and reverse of the same
26:01coin, which is quite lovely.
26:03Anyway, are they related?
26:06And the answer is yes.
26:07Yes.
26:07So do you remember quite recently on the programme I was talking about words that are linked to farming?
26:13We had aftermath, which was an after mowing.
26:15Broadcast.
26:16Broadcast.
26:16I listen to everything.
26:18You do.
26:20Broadcast, which is used for the sowing of seeds.
26:23And this is another one.
26:24And I really love this because it's quite unexpected.
26:27But in Latin, versus meant both a turn of the plough and a line of writing.
26:35Because once you get to the line of writing, you turn your pen and you go back to the start
26:39again, which is lovely.
26:40So if you imagine a field and a tractor coming back and forth, that's exactly what we do with our
26:44quill, with our pen, with our pencil.
26:47And it almost always had that kind of metaphorical meaning, verse.
26:52It almost always applied to writing of some kind.
26:55And then it narrowed in on poetry.
26:57And at the root of versus, which we have kept in English, as in, you know, against.
27:03We have a competition here with Alan versus Fiona, for example.
27:07It all goes back to a Latin word, vertere, meaning to turn.
27:09And it is the most productive source of words in English.
27:14Probably not the most, but one of the most.
27:16So you've got versatile, where you can turn to anything.
27:20You've got aversion, which is one turn or example of something.
27:24You have pervert, to turn bad.
27:27And reverse is all about turning back.
27:30So that's exactly, again, if you think back to the farmer, they are almost, they're not quite reversing as we
27:36would imagine it today.
27:37But you were turning back again, just like a line of poetry.
27:39Thank you, Susie.
27:41APPLAUSE

32:11So here we are at that stage.
32:12Fiona is on 91, Alan is on 35.
32:16Well, our champion's been averaging north of 100 so far.
32:20She already has her seventh win, but can she get another century?
32:23Or will Alan Turnbull stop her?
32:26Finger on the buzzers as we reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:02Right at the death.
33:03Cushioned.
33:04Let's have a look.
33:07Brilliant!
33:09Oh, that's brilliant.
33:12Oh, I didn't get...
33:13Fiona, I didn't get anywhere near that.
33:15No.
33:15Go on, give us a big smile.
33:17Yes, come on.
33:18Well, listen, I would like to send you back to Wales
33:21with our love for, in no particular order,
33:24Nathan Thatcher, Darwin, Captain Tom and Baby Tom.
33:29That's a mixture of dogs, ducks and husbands.
33:32You can attach the right names.
33:34But love to the entire family.
33:36It sounds like one...
33:37I've got a picture of a very idyllic life there
33:39in the middle of nowhere.
33:40Alan, thanks for coming and seeing us.
33:42Cheers.
33:42Appreciate it.
33:43Huge day tomorrow, Fiona.
33:45Huge day tomorrow.
33:46Not for you, for me, because if you become an Octo Champ,
33:49I need to give you a nickname.
33:50So I'll have to have a think.
33:52Second name's Wood.
33:53There's a lot of options there.
33:54Cannot wait.
33:55See you tomorrow, our Fiona.
33:58See you tomorrow, Kath and Susie.
34:00Yeah, see you then.
34:01Listen, I don't want to bring the mood down

34:06but I'd just like us to take a second just to remember
34:09and say RIP to Borland Water.
