00:32Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:35Friday, which means only one thing, the weekend's on its way, and for many, of course, a night out.
00:41And a report, Rachel, recently decided to investigate the cost of the average UK night out.
00:48And surprisingly for some, it turns out that it's £69 exactly.
00:54There you go.
00:55Do you get out and about much, and if so, what do you get up to?
00:58We like going out for dinner.
01:00We like trying different food, but it doesn't really matter how much you spend.
01:02We've been out for the poshest dinner where you get a tasting menu and you get all the wine.
01:07And then Tasha's been really hungry, so we've ended up in Chinatown on the way home.
01:10I'll tell you what I did do.
01:11I took myself off to Vietnam, which is just a delightful place.
01:16And it had grilled chicken.
01:18So I'll tell you the story.
01:20So this grilled chicken, I said, I'm not altogether sure with this cut of chicken.
01:24I've never seen a big piece of chicken.
01:27Anyway, further investigation proved that it was actually a crocodile.
01:31Oh, right.
01:32River chicken.
01:33I've quite enjoyed it.
01:35With a beer.
01:36Who's here?
01:37Two new contestants.
01:40Rachel, we've got Gail Farnworth from Blackpool, retired now, but has an allotment.
01:45I do, yes.
01:47I've got friends with allotments in the city where there are no gardens and all the rest of it.
01:51And it's such an important part of their life, actually.
01:53And it's sort of therapeutic, too, to see the vegetables growing and the flowers and the fruit and all the
01:59rest of it.
01:59They love it.
02:00Yes.
02:01The harvesting's the best bit.
02:03Yeah.
02:03And it's better than going to a gym.
02:05Excellent stuff.
02:06All right.
02:06Well, you're very welcome to the Countdown Studio.
02:09As is Philip Catton, now retired from Harrow in Middlesex, I think.
02:14Used to work in the supermarket business.
02:15Yes, that's right.
02:17OK.
02:17And you like going back to the Philippines, where your wife comes from.
02:20Is that right?
02:20Yeah, that's right.
02:21That's brilliant.
02:22And whereabouts in the Philippines do you go?
02:24It's in the south part.
02:26It's a place called Davao.
02:29Excellent.
02:29Excellent.
02:30Well, you're very welcome.
02:31You both are.
02:32Let's have a big round of applause for Philip and Gail.
02:39And over in the corner, Susie, of course, with professional quizzer, Paul the Sinner Man Sinner.
02:44Welcome back, Paul.
02:45So, we'll be back.
02:49Wonderful.
02:50Gail, how about a letters game?
02:53Good afternoon, Rachel.
02:54Afternoon, Gail.
02:55Could I have a vowel, please?
02:57Start today with A.

04:09Just a six.
04:10And your six is?
04:11Toured.
04:13And?
04:14Jousted.
04:15Jousted?
04:16Yeah.
04:16Very nice.
04:17Jousted?
04:18Yes.
04:19Now, Paul and Susie?
04:20I've got sevens, jousted, detours.
04:23Is rousted a word as well?
04:24Yes, rousted someone out of bed.
04:25I think Susie's gone one better.
04:27Yeah, there's a few eights there.
04:29Adjuster, an insurance adjuster.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Readjust.
04:33Yeah.
04:33And to outreads, which is a bit of an odd one, but it's to outdo somebody in reading.
04:38Very good.
04:41Thanks, Susie.
04:43Thank you indeed, Gail.
04:46Off to an early start.
04:47Now, Philip, it's your chance.
04:48Your letters came.
04:50Good afternoon, Rachel.
04:52Afternoon, Philip.

05:51Bye.
06:00Philip?
06:01Er, I've got a six, Nick.
06:03A six and?
06:04Just a five.
06:05And your five is?
06:06Roams.
06:07Now, Philip?
06:08Er, claims.
06:11Erm, how did that sound?
06:13A couple of eights.
06:14I've got clamours for eights.
06:16Yep.
06:16And then Susie's got an altogether more poetic word.
06:19Erm, well, quite like clamours, but a solarium is there as well
06:22for another eight.
06:23A solarium.
06:28You'll find him in the solarium.
06:30Yeah, seven plays six.
06:32Philip on six.
06:33Gail, your numbers game.
06:34Two large and four small, please, Rachel.
06:37Thank you, Gail.
06:37Two from the top and four little.
06:39And the first numbers of the day are five, seven, six, six,
06:45and the large two, 175.

06:55We'll be back.
07:07Bye.
07:08Bye.

07:25Yes, Gell?
07:26Er, no, I'm way off.
07:28How about Philip?
07:30Er, I've got six, four, seven.
07:32Six, four, seven?
07:33Yeah.
07:34Let's try that then.
07:35Yes, Philip?
07:36Er, six times a hundred is six hundred.
07:40Yep.
07:40And then six times seven is forty-two.
07:44And add on the other five.
07:47Well done.
07:47Two away, six, four, seven.
07:48Very good.
07:49Well done, Philip.
07:50Well done.
07:50So, Rachel, six, four, nine.
07:52How tricky is that?
07:53Er, there are a couple of ways.
07:55And I can see someone with his hand up who may have one in the studio.
07:58I'm very excited.
07:58I think I've got this one.
08:00Right.
08:00Off you go.
08:01Seven times a hundred is seven hundred.
08:03Seven hundred.
08:04Takeaway, seventy-five is six, two, five.
08:07Yep.
08:08Six, fives are thirty.
08:10Takeaway, six is twenty-four.

08:17Well done.
08:18Well done, Paul.
08:22Excellent.
08:23Excellent.
08:23So, thirteen plays.

08:26Philip in the lead as we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Diver Rise.
08:30And the clue.
08:30Did he lay down his sword and shield here somewhere in Middlesbrough?
08:34Did he lay down his sword and shield here somewhere in Middlesbrough?
08:55Did he lay down his sword and shield here somewhere in Middlesbrough?
09:00And the answer to that is Riverside.

10:47Yeah, a couple of sevens.
10:48Well, fancied.
10:50Yep.

10:51Defiant.
10:52And yet again, Susie's got one better.
10:54Er, was there a note there with infected?

11:52And a consonant.
12:04J.

12:05R.
12:07Yes, Gail?
12:09A five.
12:10A five and Philip?
12:11A six.
12:13And a six, Gail?
12:14Acorn.
12:15Acorn, Philip?
12:16A lancer.
12:18Lancer.
12:21A lancer.
12:22Yes.
12:23Why not?
12:24Soldier of a cavalry regiment, armed lancer.
12:28Yeah.
12:29I could only match that, Cornet and Oracle,
12:31but Susie's got a beautiful seven.
12:34Well, delicious seven is calzone.
12:37And there's another seven there with corneal.
12:39Corneal.
12:40Thank you very much, Susie.
12:4219 to 13.
12:43Philip's building a bit of a lead, six points.
12:45And now it's Philip's numbers game.
12:48Off we go, Philip.
12:50Can I have one large and five small, please?
12:53Thank you, Candy.
12:54Thank you, Philip.
12:54One from the top, five little ones.
12:56And this time your little ones are six, two, seven, nine, and eight.
13:02And the large one, 100.
13:04And this time the target, 824.
13:07Eight, two, four.
13:09Thank you, Philip.
13:39Well, Philip.
13:41I think I've got eight, two, four.
13:43All right. And, Gail?
13:45Eight, two, four.
13:46Off we go then. Philip first.
13:48I did eight times a hundred is eight hundred.
13:51Yep.
13:52And then I added nine, seven, two and six.
13:56And I added the rest on. Yeah, well done. Eight, two, four.
13:59Now, Gail.
14:00Exactly the same.
14:01There we go. Thank you.
14:02So, that leaves us 29 to 23. Still that six points in it.
14:07Philip in the lead and we turn to Paul.
14:09Paul, what have you got for us today?
14:11Well, it's a Eurovision theme today.
14:14So, in that spirit, I'll give you facts about the United Kingdom and the Eurovision Song Contest that may be
14:19of interest and might come up in a quiz.
14:21Right.
14:22Number one, we once got nil point, tragically, an act called Gemini, represented the United Kingdom in 2003 and failed
14:31to trouble the judges in any way at all.
14:34What people don't know is this was utterly deserved because Gemini spelt their name J-E-M-I-N-I.
14:41And Eurovision is much like Countdown. If you misspell words, you get no points whatsoever.
14:46So, there is entirely deserved.
14:48Number two, Cliff Richard famously was in the Eurovision Song Contest with a song Congratulations.
14:54Those of us of a certain vintage will remember that.
14:56But he was also in it another time in 1973 with a song called Power to All of Our Friends.
15:01And that was co-written by somebody called Guy Fletcher.
15:05And Guy Fletcher's son is the beloved children's entertainer, Mr. Tumble.
15:10So, Mr. Tumble's dad wrote one of Cliff Richard's entries in the Eurovision Song Contest.
15:16Number three, we all remember that ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with a song Waterloo.
15:22They didn't deserve to in the sense that the opening line, my, my, a Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender, is not
15:28historically accurate.
15:30Napoleon did not surrender. He fled. He did not surrender the Battle of Waterloo.
15:34But a lot of people don't remember is that Britain's entry was somebody almost as famous as ABBA.
15:39And if I give you a clue that this singer's grandfather won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1954,
15:47you'll know that the answer is...
15:50Olivia Newton-John.
15:52Oh, is that right?
15:53Yeah, not a lot of people know that Olivia Newton-John actually represented Great Britain,
15:57or United Kingdom rather, the Eurovision Song Contest,
15:59but she's the granddaughter of the nuclear physicist Max Bourne.
16:03So when people call Olivia Newton-John Olivia Neutron Bomb,
16:07what they're actually forgetting is that her grandad helped create the Neutron Bomb in the first place.
16:12Extraordinary.
16:13So all you have to do when you're looking at a list of Eurovision Song Contest winners
16:16is click, click on the words and click on stuff and you find out amazing pieces of information.
16:21You've made me all dizzy.
16:22That's extraordinary.
16:29That's an amazing collection of facts you've just unearthed.
16:32Well, thank you very much.
16:32That's what I do for a living.
16:33Quite extraordinary.
16:34Amazing.
16:35Thank you, Paul.
16:36Now, down to business here.
16:3829 to 23.
16:40Philip in the lead.
16:41Gail.
16:41Now, you're going to have to chase after our Philip here.
16:43Well.
16:44Off you go.
16:44Let us go.
16:46A vowel, please.
16:47Thank you, Gail.
16:56And the last one, S.
17:15Stand by.
17:46Yes, Gail?
17:47Just a five.
17:49A five.
17:49Philip?
17:50A six, no.
17:51And a six.
17:52Gail?
17:53Music.
17:54Yes, for me.
17:55Minces.
17:56Minces.
17:58Minces.
17:59Yes, we like that word.
18:00Yeah, that's all I got, but Susie's gone one better.
18:04Cinemas are there for seven.
18:05Cinemas.
18:06Yes.
18:07I'm off to the flicks.
18:08Cinemas.
18:0935 to 23.
18:10Well done, Philip.
18:11And now it's your letters game.
18:13Good luck, Philip.
18:14Could I start with a consonant, please?
18:17Thank you, Philip.
18:18G.
18:19And another.
18:22H.
18:22And another.
18:24M.
18:26And a vowel.
18:28A.
18:29Another vowel, please.
18:31O.
18:32And another.
18:33I.
18:35A consonant.
18:37T.
18:39And another.
18:41V.
18:42And a final vowel, please.
18:45And a final A.
18:47And here's the countdown clock.
19:19Well, Philip?
19:20Just a five, Nick.
19:22A five, Gail?
19:23And a five.
19:24Yes, Philip?
19:25Might.
19:26And might.
19:27Two mites?
19:27Two mites.
19:28You can just show Philip your might, as it were.
19:33And over in the corner there.
19:35I don't think we could do any better.
19:37We do have a word much favoured by those who are obsessed with the life cycle of a butterfly.
19:41Yes.
19:42Yes, Imago.
19:43Yeah.
19:44That's the final fully-fledged stage of an insect, like a butterfly.
19:48And also Ogham, O-G-H-A-M, which is or was an ancient British and Irish alphabet.
19:54Well, well.
19:55Thank you for that.
19:5640 to 28.
19:58Philip building there.
19:59And it's Gail's numbers game now.
20:02Yes, Gail?
20:04Two large and four small, please.
20:05Thank you, Gail.
20:06Two from the top four.
20:07Little and again coming up for you.
20:09And this time they are 10, 8, 5, 1.
20:14And the big one's 25 and 100.
20:17And the target, 619.
20:206, 1, 9.
20:21And this time they are 10, 8, 5, 1.
20:52Well, Gail?
20:54Er, 618.
20:55And Philip?
20:57617.
20:58And 17.
20:59I'm going to go with Gail for the minute.
21:01Er, 5 plus 1 times 100.
21:045 plus 1, 6 times 100, 600.
21:06Add the 8 and the 10.
21:07Yep, what a way.
21:08Well done.
21:10Well done.
21:11But Rachel, Rachel will crack it for us, I think.
21:14Yes, 619?
21:15Yes, I found a way.
21:17If you say 10 divided by 5 is 2.
21:208 less 2 is 6.
21:22100 less 1 is 99.
21:256 99s are 594.
21:28And add on the 25.
21:30619.
21:31Perfect.
21:32Thank you, Rachel.
21:36Spot-ons ever.
21:38There we go.
21:39So, 5 points in it.
21:4040 plays, 35.
21:41It's returned to our second tea time teaser, which is Lost Shirt.
21:44And the clue.
21:45She didn't have much shopping to do, but she was a candidate for the prize.
21:50She didn't have much shopping to do, but she was a candidate for the prize.
22:10Welcome back.
22:10I left with the clue she didn't have much shopping to do, but she was a candidate for the prize.
22:17She was on the short list.
22:19Short list is the answer to that one.
22:22So, 40 plays, 35.
22:23Philip in the lead.
22:24Philip, well done.
22:25And now it's your letters game.
22:27Could I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?

23:40A seven.
23:41And a seven. Yes, Philip?
23:43A plumed.
23:45And?
23:46Implode.
23:48Implode. Well done.
23:50Yeah, that's very good. We've just got implode and impound.
23:54Thank you. All right.
23:56So, Gail has snatched the lead by two points, 42 to 40.
23:59Well done, Gail. It's your letters game now.
24:03Thank you. A vowel, please.
24:04Thank you, Gail.
24:05A.

25:05Well, Gail?

25:07No, Philip?

25:10And your four is?
25:11Soap.
25:12Soap.
25:13Gail?
25:14Pounds.
25:15Pounds.
25:16Pounds, yes, similar to the last one, really.
25:19Maybe the second time in a row.
25:20Yeah.
25:21Any advance on pounds?
25:23Boringly, no advance on that, I'm sorry.
25:25That's it?
25:25Yes.
25:26Moving on.
25:27Forty plays, 48.
25:29Gail on, 48.
25:31Susie, can we interrupt your reverie?
25:33For your wonderful origins of words.
25:37Well, I visited Belfast very recently, which is a beautiful city,
25:41and I had a lovely cab driver who said that if he didn't take a slight diversion
25:45and show me around the Titanic area, the Titanic museum,
25:48then his name would be Mud.
25:50And then we started to wonder where his name is Mud came from.
25:55And there is quite an interesting story behind it, potentially.
25:58And that involves a doctor called Samuel Mud.
26:01Now, Samuel Mud was imprisoned as a co-conspirator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
26:09So Paul will know much more about this event than I do.
26:12But John Wilkes Booth was the assassin.
26:15And it is said that in the process of shooting Lincoln, he broke his leg.
26:20And that night, on April 14th, 1865, rode to Mud's home for surgery on his fractured leg.
26:28Mud had already been seen, as the trial later proved, in the company of three of the co-conspirators for
26:35this plot.
26:36So he was imprisoned.
26:38However, no definitive proof really has ever existed.
26:41There's been a lot of doubt over his conviction.
26:43It's never been overturned, but he was eventually pardoned.
26:47So strangely, his conviction still holds, but he was eventually pardoned and released in 1869.
26:53But he was frowned upon, obviously, by the American population for his assassination.
26:58And so the story goes, if you say your name is Mud, you were likening the person to this sort
27:04of evil doer, if you like,
27:06who was a co-conspirator of Booth.
27:09However, it always falls to me to kind of pop the balloon.
27:12It is probable that actually because of the dates, which were good, well, I say five decades later,
27:19that you first start to find records of your name as Mud.
27:22It's probable that it just goes back to Mud being used as a general intensifier.
27:26Because in the 19th century, you would find lots of similes.
27:28Like someone would be as fat as Mud, as rich as Mud, as sick as Mud, etc.
27:32So it was just always something that wasn't very good.
27:35And the combination of meanings of this sort of worthless and inferior and extremely, I guess,
27:40was enough to get someone's name associated with Mud as an insult.
27:45And that is probably where it comes from.
27:47But nonetheless, we should remember Samuel Mud, whether or not he was actually guilty.
27:52Well, I know, that's it.
27:54Very good.
27:59Very interesting.
28:00Imagine riding a horse with a broken leg.
28:02Oh, that would be painful, I should think.
28:04And was he double D, Mud, or just one D?
28:07Double D.
28:08Double D.
28:08And I don't think he rode on a horse.
28:10I think he...
28:11Oh, in a carriage, you mean?
28:12Yeah, I think so.
28:13OK.
28:14Whatever.
