00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio on Monday the 22nd of January.
00:36It may well be deep winter outside, Rachel, but I recently read an article about winter-warming foods.
00:45Nod vigorously as I read through them when you like a dish I mentioned.
00:49For instance, stews and casseroles. Perfect.
00:53Soups, pies, chilli con carne and simple bangers and mash.
00:59I love that sort of comfort food.
01:00But the interesting thing is that in a separate survey, soup flavours were rated.
01:05Now, this is what I cannot understand, Rachel. I'm sorry.
01:0937% of the vote voted for tomato soup coming out on top.
01:13I can't stand tomato soup. I turned it away.
01:17I can never find anything good to say about tomato soup.
01:20Not my favourite.
01:21No. Leek and potato came second with 17%. They should be much higher up the list.
01:27Followed by chicken soup at 16%. I like chicken noodle soup, I love.
01:31Bangers and mash if the sausages are good.
01:34Well, I don't eat meat anymore, and we've signed up for these veg boxes, which I'm completely obsessed by now.
01:39Yes.
01:39So every week you can change your order and various, but they send you this big box of whatever's in
01:43season.
01:44So it's a farmer who absolutely loves his vegetables, and everything's organic, and most of it's from the UK, with
01:50a few things coming from France.
01:52But everything tastes brilliant, and it comes, and it's all different sizes, and you've got to wash the mud off,
01:56and you get vegetables that you'd never pick out in the shops because you don't know what they are.
02:00I'd like a little bit of a rinse.
02:02Well, they're not all of them. You can wash your own carrots, Nick. Or you can get someone to do
02:07that for you, I'm sure.
02:08I have nothing to do with the kitchen. You're talking to a...
02:11Your partner's a father's daughter.
02:12She's good, but I'm a...
02:13She can wash the carrots. She'll be happy with the body carrots.
02:15I am a kitchen virgin. I don't go in there. It's a dangerous place.
02:19Fair enough.
02:19All right. Now, this is quite a dangerous place for anybody who's playing Chris Thorne today, sports events administrator from
02:26Chelmsford,
02:26who saw off a four-times winner, Mary. That was a fantastic thing.
02:31She was steaming ahead, and in you came sports-loving Chris Thorne. Fantastic. How did you feel today?
02:38Still a bit nervous.
02:39You had a quiet weekend, I trust?
02:41Yep. Drank lots of tomato soup.
02:43Well done. Well done.
02:45Now, Chris, you're meeting Terry Kelly today, a retired NHS manager from Widness, who retired about four years ago and
02:52loves travelling, love Rome.
02:53Tell us a little bit about why you love Rome so much.
02:56Well, I think, well, we love all things Italian, but Rome especially, so I find Rome culture fascinating.
03:03Mm.
03:04Particularly something like the Forum, when you think of the history behind that and the temples related to Roman mythology,
03:12and just imagining the place thronged with ancient Romans, trolling their way up to the Colosseum to see what was
03:19on that day.
03:20A bit like going to football today.
03:22It's a great civilisation, wasn't it? Of course, Rome's quite small, so you really can walk around.
03:26It is. It's a good place to walk around, and round every corner there seems to be another ancient monument
03:31or something worth seeing.
03:33Well, good luck to you both. Good luck to Terry and to Chris. Let's have a big round of applause.
03:41APPLAUSE
03:42Very good. Over in the corner, of course, Susie, and after a quiet weekend, I trust we have, for the
03:47last time, until we can get in back,
03:48antiques expert guru, Raj Bisram. Welcome back, Raj.
03:53APPLAUSE

13:24Good.
13:24But not quite there, is it?
13:265, 4, 2, Rachel?
13:27Yeah, there were some ways for this one.
13:29One, you could have said 50 plus 25 plus 1 is 76.
13:34Times that by 7 for 532 and add on the 10 for 5, 4, 2.
13:39Smashing.
13:435, 4, 2, indeed.
13:45So, 28 pays Chris's 38 as we turn to Raj.
13:51You take yourself off to Menorca once a year.
13:54What did you get up to there?
13:56Well, our family absolutely loved Menorca.
13:59And we've been going there for 30 years now.
14:01Very lucky to have a little place there.
14:06And our local town, called Escastel, they have what they call the Haleo every year,
14:11which is where the horses parade outside the town hall.
14:15And the horses rear up.
14:17And it's supposed to be very good luck if you can touch the horse's heart.
14:21It gives you luck for the rest of the year.
14:23And my wife and I have always gone to it, but we've always been in the crowds.
14:28And thousands of people go to this.
14:30And it's, like I say, it's right outside the town hall.
14:32And the mayor, there's a balcony.
14:34And the mayor always has his dignitaries up there.
14:37Anyway, this year I decided to go out there.
14:42And I went there three days before my wife.
14:44And I thought it would be a really nice surprise if I could actually get us on the balcony.
14:49So, you know, I haven't been in the TV world for very long, but I thought I'd try anyway.
14:55So I went to the town hall, asked to speak to the mayor.
14:58He wasn't there.
14:59But luckily, somebody recognized me.
15:02There was an English woman working in the office.
15:04And she said, oh, Raj, welcome to Menorca.
15:06And I said, well, I've actually been coming for a number of years.
15:09And I said, I was after an invite onto the balcony.
15:14Anyway, she said, I'm sure the mayor would love to have you.
15:17Can you come back tomorrow and meet him?
15:18So I went back the next day.
15:20Mayor said, of course, we'd love to have you there.
15:23And when my wife arrived, I had this surprise, which I didn't tell her.
15:27And we went to the – and normally we're fighting through the crowds.
15:30And I managed to get to the front door of the town hall.
15:33And there was a policeman there.
15:34And I pulled out the tickets.
15:35My wife said, what are you doing?
15:36I said, I've got us some tickets from the mayor.
15:38And we went up.
15:39And it's a bit like I can imagine, you know, we're on this balcony.
15:42And there's thousands of people below.
15:44And people started to point.
15:46You know, they're always pointing up.
15:47And, you know, I thought maybe, you know, they were pointing at me.
15:50But hey-ho.
15:51So anyway, afterwards we were treated – had a lovely evening with the mayor.
15:56And then I'd booked a table for dinner.
15:58So my wife and I, we go to the restaurant.
16:01And it's outside on the bay at Caliphons.
16:04And we're having dinner.
16:06And she's asking me, you know, how did you wangle those tickets?
16:10And I said, I was explaining.
16:11And a woman who I'd noticed with a group of people while we were up on the balcony had been
16:16pointing up.
16:17I could see her at the corner of my eye.
16:18And she came towards our table.
16:20And she – and I was thinking, you know, my wife's saying, I think she may have recognised you.
16:25And she came up.
16:26And she stood in between the two of us.
16:28And she looked at me.
16:29And she said, my friends and I, we saw you up on the balcony.
16:33And there's a bit of discussion going on.
16:37And we wondered, are you Ian Wright?
16:43But it doesn't finish there.
16:45Because I said, obviously, I'm not.
16:48I said, I'm not.
16:49But my wife said, yes, you are.
16:51And I thought, I said, no, I'm not.
16:54But what I didn't realise is my wife had heard, are you all right?
16:59So – so I – so the – she asked again.
17:02She said, no, he's not.
17:04I said, no, I'm not.
17:05She said, yes, he is.
17:06And eventually the woman said, I'm pretty certain you're not.
17:09And she just walked away.
17:11Brilliant stuff.
17:11So what I did was, Nick, what do you think?
17:14Ian Wright.
17:15Ian Wright.
17:20Now, 38 to 28.

25:02Bye.
25:09Bye.
25:15Welcome back.
25:15well Chris it's five Terry I justify Chris avoid and frond frond no rush
25:25could we beat it I've got a five radio and Susie a single six and possibly
25:32ordain is there to all day yes thank you mmm 73 to 40 as we break to hear
25:41Susie's origins of words yes Susie well I had a tweet in from John Ashworth who
25:47asked for the origin of playing a blinder and it's actually quite simple
25:52when you think about it something that's good or perhaps in a difficult piece of
25:58play in a in a sporting match where you really have overcome the odds to play
26:02something that is dazzlingly good and the dazzling is what it's all about because
26:06that is why it is blinding so it's as simple as that but it got me thinking
26:09about other superlatives because English is a wash thankfully with lots of
26:13superlatives we tend to stick to the tried and tested but there are many that we
26:17can use and we like in slang to flip bad for good so bad itself means good sick
26:23wicked etc but we've lost some of the wonderful terms that we used to have so
26:28Lollapalooza which you will still find in the dictionary and it's a term from the
26:33US from the early 1900s for something outstanding that's Lollapalooza it's
26:37simply a fanciful formation but I like it or it may be so hot it's mustard and
26:41mustard was another slang term in the US for something outstanding and that's
26:46where we get cut the mustard from mustard being it's so hot it's really really good
26:51and cutting in that sense is the same as she cuts a fine figure so though it seems
26:55strange cutting the mustard it's actually quite simple when you analyse it and the
26:59outstanding thing may be peachy that's simply a play on words on something sweet or
27:03juicy or in the olden days it could also be a carbuncle something was great was a
27:08carbuncle and that's very strange to us today because we associate carbuncles
27:12with something entirely negative but originally described a large precious
27:17stone of blazing fiery red color and it was a mythical gem it was believed to give
27:23out light in the dark and the lesions of the skin that we associate with
27:27carbuncles today are so called simply because they are flaming red they are very
27:30inflamed more obviously wonderful superlatives are a corker something so
27:35fizzy it pops and a rip snorter originally a dashing riotous fellow and he had a
27:41screamer too a screamer was actually also once a term for an exclamation mark
27:45believe it or not but perhaps the most enduring term of approval of all which has
27:50lasted for such a long time and can be used by any generation is cool and that
27:54may well go all the way back to the late 1800s and have started off in British
27:58public schools but it really was propelled into the mainstream in the jazz era of the
28:0430s and 40s by Charlie Parker and his ilk so the lexicon of superlatives goes on and
28:09on and on and let's keep celebrating them because there are so many out there we
28:13could use very good
28:14so we're going through to 40 Chris in the lead all right and it's Terry's letters game
