00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:35Now, we all know there's a World Cup taking place in Russia this year.
00:38It's the World Football Cup, but there's one kicking off today in Manchester,
00:44and it's the Roller Derby World Cup.
00:48Amazing stuff.
00:4940 countries are piling into Manchester to take on each other to come away with the World Cup.
00:55And they're all women roller derbyists.
01:00And they roar around this track, this oval track.
01:03And in each team, there's one called a jammer.
01:06And it's her job to overtake all the members of the other team,
01:10whereas all the other members of her team are in the business of blocking everybody else.
01:16So, basically, it's rugby league on wheels.
01:20It's an amazing thing.
01:22And they all have these amazing names.
01:24For instance, let me try Scarlet Oscara, Payne Eyre, Lady MacDeath, and so it goes on.
01:31So, shall we wish them all a lot of fun and safe rolling today?
01:36I'm all for equal opportunity, sir.
01:37I think you should have a go, Nick.
01:39Hugh of the Skewer can be your name as you're rolling around.
01:42You look as though you could be in a roller skater when you were younger.
01:45Rach Hell Hath No Fury would be my name.
01:49Good luck to the England team, or the Britain team.
01:53Now, who's with us?
01:54Louise is back.
01:55Louise Reagan, good win.
01:58You had a good win yesterday.
01:59And you're joined now by David Shipley, a retired chemical engineer from Yarm.
02:03Where exactly is Yarm, David?
02:05It's on the south bank of the Tees.
02:08Oh, lovely.
02:09It's about the most northerly part of Yorkshire.
02:11It was.
02:12It's now changed.
02:13It's now part of Stockton on Tees.
02:15Oh, it's all changed.
02:16I didn't like when it changes.
02:16Someone messaged out the...
02:17No.
02:18No.
02:18Leave it alone, that's what I say.
02:20Well, you're very welcome.
02:21I'm glad you're here today.
02:22Let's have a big round of applause, then, for Louise and David.
02:25APPLAUSE
02:28Now, over in the corner, of course, life would never be the same without Susie Dent.
02:33Joined once again, of course, by Susanna Lipscomb, bringing history to life to us.
02:39Wonderful, wonderful.
02:40Have you back, Susanna.
02:42APPLAUSE
02:46Now, let's get down to business here, shall we?
02:48Louise.

03:22And here's the countdown clock.
03:25BELL RINGS
03:41Yes, Louise.
03:42Yes, Louise.
03:57Risky six.
03:58And David?
03:59A risky six.
04:00Now then.
04:01Sumpa.
04:03David.
04:03Amuser.
04:04Louise, what was yours, sorry?
04:06Sumpa.
04:06S-U-M-P-E-R.
04:08Um, that's not there, I'm afraid.
04:11I'm sorry about that.
04:13Um, and there's no amuser either.
04:15Sorry, David.
04:16What can we have, I wonder?
04:18We've got rampers, um, for seven.
04:22Yes.
04:23They are more commonly known as rampires, and it's essentially another name for rampart.
04:29So it's to do with fortifications, historically.
04:32Sure.
04:33Sure.
04:33Anything else?
04:34That was it?
04:34No.
04:35That's it.
04:37Now, David, your letters came.
04:39Good afternoon, Rachel.
04:40Afternoon, David.
04:42A consonant, please.
04:43Start with P.
04:45And a vowel.
04:47O.
04:48And another consonant.
04:51W.
04:52And another vowel.
04:54E.
04:55And a consonant.

05:00I.
05:02And a consonant.
05:05G.
05:06And a consonant, please.
05:08S.
05:10And a vowel.
05:11And the last one.

05:14Stand by.
05:15And a ??
05:41And ahof.
05:44And a Romanian W.
05:45And a consonant.
05:45Yes, David.
05:47Seven.
05:47Seven.
05:48Yes, Louise.
05:49Seven.
05:50David.
05:51Waspia.
05:52And?
05:53Waspia.
05:54And over in the corner, Susanna.
05:55Susie.
05:56Well, I have to jump in.
05:58I'm not going to be very popular in this game.
06:00Waspy is there, but it has a capital W, I'm afraid.
06:04It comes from the WASP.
06:06It's the white American Protestant, isn't it?
06:08It's the acronym.
06:09So, I'm afraid.
06:11Can't have it.
06:12What can we have?
06:14Susanna.
06:15Susie.
06:15Gawpers.
06:17Yes.
06:18And?
06:19Prizage, I think.
06:20Prizage.
06:20Yeah, Prizage.
06:22Reading off your screen.
06:23Yeah.
06:24An ancient duty levied upon imported wine.
06:27Okay.
06:28Now then, what are we going to do about this?
06:30Louise, we've got a numbers game.
06:35Hi, Rachel.
06:36Two large, four small, please.
06:37Thank you, Louise.
06:38Two from the top row and four little ones.
06:40And the first numbers game of the day is?
06:42Ten, seven, five, eight.
06:47And the large one's one hundred and twenty-five.
06:49And the target, eight hundred and fifty-nine.
06:52Eight, five, nine.

07:29857.
07:30857.
07:32Louise?
07:34100 times 8, 800.
07:37Yep.
07:377 minus 5 is 2, and times the 25.
07:42Is 50.
07:43And leaving the 10.
07:44Lovely.
07:45One away, 860.
07:47Well done, Louise.
07:48Now, Rachel, 859.
07:51Yes, this one was possible.
07:53If you say 100 plus 7, 107, times it by 8, 856.
08:00And then 25 plus the 5 is 30, divided by the 10 is 3 to add on 859.
08:06Perfect. Well done.
08:09Well done, Rachel.
08:10As ever.
08:11Let's have a tea time teaser.
08:13It's open reach and the clue.
08:16No need to make a phone call to tell of your safety.
08:19You've got this.
08:20No need to make a phone call to tell of your safety.
08:24You've got this.
08:42Welcome back.
08:43Warm welcome back.
08:44And after you have the clue, no need to make a phone call to tell of your safety.
08:47You've got this, you've got a chaperone, chaperone.
08:53So, Louise, on 7, David gets a score.
08:56Try this, David.
08:57It's a letters game.
08:58Rachel, I'll have a consonant, please.

10:05And that's six. Blamed.
10:07Now. Mislead.
10:10Very nice.
10:11Can we match it, I wonder? Susie?
10:13Susanna? Disable
10:15for seven. Yeah.
10:17But it's a shame that we
10:19can't have proper nouns, because otherwise
10:21we could have it at Ambleside. Ambleside would have been
10:23lovely. Lovely. But yes,
10:25just disable for seven. Thank you.
10:27Thank you. Seven apiece. And
10:29Louise, off we go. Let us go.

11:38Yes, Louise.

11:40And?
11:41Negative.
11:42Well done, David Drake.
11:43And negative.
11:43Well done.
11:48Well done.
11:49Now, in the corner, Susanna.
11:51Negative was our biggest one as well.
11:53So, otherwise, we've just got some sevens with vintage and pageant.
11:58Pageant.
11:59Fifteen plays seven.
12:01David in the lead.
12:02And it's David's numbers game.
12:04Yes, David.
12:05One large, please.
12:06And five from the bottom row.
12:08Thank you, David.
12:09One big one.
12:10Five little.
12:11And these are numbers for you.
12:13You are ten, eight, four, another four, three, and a large one, 25.
12:20And the target, 532.
12:23Five, three, two.
12:24You are ten, eight, four.
12:28You are ten, eight.
12:30Five, three, and a large one.
12:33Five, three, and a half.
12:40Five, three, and a half.
12:47Five, three, and a half.
12:49Five, four, three, and a large one.
12:50You and a half.
12:50One, two.
12:52никак, four, three, and a half.
12:52Yes, it is.
12:53So, that's all.
12:53So, however, the redone year has less.
12:55David. 532, but not written down very clearly.
12:59And Louise? 533, but not written down.
13:02All right. Well, David, let's hear from you first.
13:053 times 25.
13:073 times 25, 75.
13:10Minus 10.
13:11Minus 10, 65.
13:13Times 8.
13:14Times 8 is 520.
13:16And I think I've got a 4 and a 10 left.
13:18Sorry, 2, sorry, what have I got left?
13:21You've got two 4s left.
13:23In that case, I've gone wrong, haven't I?
13:26Sorry about that.
13:27Oh, dear.
13:28Louise?
13:298 plus 10 plus 3 is 21.
13:338 plus 10 plus 3, 21.
13:36Times the 25.
13:37Times the 25 is 525.
13:40And add the remaining 4s.
13:42And then you've got two 4s.
13:444, yes, one above.
13:46So 532, Rachel, can you deliver us to that?
13:51Leave it with me.
13:52Certainly will.
13:53Certainly will.
13:54So it's one point between David and Louise.
13:56It's 15 to Louise's 14 as we turn to Susanna.
14:00Susanna, what have we got today?
14:03Well, I thought I'd talk about our idea of the witch, the stereotype of the witch, which
14:08comes from the 16th and 17th centuries, where they did think of the witch as a sort of poor
14:14elderly crone and generally would consider her to be someone miserable and ugly and perhaps
14:20with a physical deformity of some sort, like a crippled leg or a hair lip.
14:24And this represented itself in the trial numbers.
14:27So the majority of witches were over the age of 45.
14:31In Essex in the 1640s, for example, most of them were between the ages of 50 and 70.
14:36And they were mostly women.
14:39So across Europe, over 70% of those accused were women.
14:42And in some places, like in Essex, like places in Poland, in Hungary, it was more like 90%.
14:49So menopausal and postmenopausal women are disproportionately represented among those being accused and executed.
14:55But the fact still remains that across Europe as a whole, one in five, 20 to 25%, were men.
15:03And in some places, it was even higher than that.
15:06So in Finland, half were men.
15:09In Estonia and Moscow, it's something like 60 and 68% were men.
15:14In Normandy, men outnumbered women, three to one.
15:18And in Iceland, the most astonishing of all, 92% of those accused were male.
15:24And the reason women are generally accused more is because they were thought to be more credulous,
15:31more easily seduced by the devil, more easily tempted to sin.
15:34But the point is, men could be too.
15:36And so they might well become witches.
15:38And we do use the term witches for men, not wizards.
15:41So you have, of course, the Faustian Pact.
15:43And we've got a story from 1589 of Peter Stumpf and Benberg,
15:47who confessed after some pretty horrific torture to being a werewolf
15:51and eating two pregnant women and 14 children and then was brutally executed.
15:56But the most terrible deviation from the stereotype of all was children.
16:01So there are cases when children were accused of witchcraft.
16:04There's a case in Würzburg in 1627 to 29 in which 40 children were executed as witches.
16:10But the fact remains, most of them were women and most of them were over 45.
16:15What a terrible thing.
16:17Extraordial.
16:21Lovely.
16:22Now, I know what's lovely.
16:24Rachel has cracked it.
16:25532?
16:26Yes, I often get accused of witchcraft.
16:28But I've, yeah, not guilty.
16:30I finally got this one, though.
16:3125 minus 4 is 21.
16:34Times by the other 4 is 84.
16:37Minus 8 is 76.
16:39And then 10 minus 3 is 7.
16:42And times them together.
16:43Superb.
16:46Thank you, Rachel.
16:48Thank you, Rachel, indeed.
16:50So, 15 plays 14.
16:51David on 15.
16:52And it's Louise's letters game.

18:10Sure. Outdrive it. Excellent.
18:13Well done.
18:14Anything else there? Susanna, anything else?
18:17No, we've only got overdid.
18:19We're obviously thinking of the alcohol over here.
18:22Overdid it. All right. Thank you.
18:25So, 23 to 22. David, one point in the lead.
18:28And it's David's letters game. Yes, David?

19:46Smutted for seven.
19:47Yes.
19:48And?
19:48The smutted sky, so full of soot or flakes of dirt, if you like.
19:55And there's another ancient Roman word, testudo, T-E-S-T-U-D-O.
19:59It was a wheeled screen with an arched roof, used to protect troops when they were laying siege.
20:05They were very clever, those Romans.
20:08So, 29 plays 28.
20:11David's still one point in the lead.
20:12Louise, your numbers game.
20:14Hi, Rachel.
20:14I think I have my usual two large, four small, please.
20:17Thank you, Louise.
20:18Two from the top row.
20:19Four not from the top row.
20:20And this time around, they are four, five, one, three, and a large two, 25 and 50.
20:28And your target, 429.
20:31Four to nine.
20:33Four to nine.
20:34Four to nine.
21:03Louise.
21:04429, Nick.
21:06And David.

21:08So, Louise.
21:095 plus 3 is 8.
21:11Yep.
21:12Times 50 for 400.
21:15And add the 25 and 4.
21:17Perfect.
21:18429, well done.
21:19And David.
21:20Same way.
21:21There we are.
21:26My word.
21:27Still just one point in it.
21:2839 placed.
21:2938.
21:30As we turn to our second.
21:31And tea time teaser.
21:32Which is by actions.
21:34And the clue.
21:34You can tell by his actions.
21:36That he's never going to change.
21:38He's known for this.
21:40You can tell by his actions.
21:41That he's never going to change.
21:43He's known for this.
22:03He's known for his obstinacy.
22:11Obstinacy.
22:12So, 39 to 38.
22:14David on 39.
22:16Yes, David.
22:17Let us go.
22:18Rachel, I'll have a consonant, please.

25:08Right, off we go.
25:10Ordinates.
25:11David.
25:11And D rations.
25:13And D rations.
25:14Susie?
25:15Absolutely excellent.
25:16Yes, well done.
25:18Well done.
25:21And how many other lines have we in the corner, I wonder?
25:25One more.
25:25Yes, if you move those around, you can get notarised.
25:28Perfectly good.
25:29Three nines.
25:3060 plays 61.
25:31David's still in the lead.
25:33Let's turn to Susie and give them a rest.
25:35Susie, what have you for us today?
25:37I have some silent letters for you.
25:39Because for the last few days, I've been talking about how tricky English is.
25:43Such an irregular language.
25:45And silent letters are some of the things that puzzle people so much.
25:49Because we have no idea why they're there.
25:51And some languages are entirely phonetic, or certainly more phonetic than others.
25:55And lots of words in English are phonetic.
25:57They sound as they're written.
25:58But there are so many others that aren't.
26:01And a reason for this, again, is that English has absorbed so many words from different cultures.
26:06And quite often we have absorbed letters, which we then don't pronounce.
26:09Because it's too difficult to get round our native tongue.
26:13So if you take the word know, to have knowledge with its silent K, that's just one example.
26:18You've got knight and knee and knives and knit and knock.
26:22You have a silent G in gnat and gnome.
26:25B in subtle, numb and L in salmon.
26:28An N in solemn, a W in answer.
26:31And so it goes on and on and on.
26:33So I thought I'd take some of these examples and explain why they're there in the first place.
26:38English is predominantly Germanic language.
26:41So around the 5th century, the Jutes came over from Jutland.
26:44That's parts of northern Germany and Denmark now.
26:47And they settled in Kent.
26:49The Saxons came over from Saxony in Germany.
26:52They settled south of the Thames.
26:54And the Angles came over from what is now Schleswig-Holstein in Germany.
26:58And they settled in northern and central England.
27:00He had all these Germanic tribes coming in.
27:02And the result is an awful lot of silent letters that we took from German.
27:07But they weren't always silent.
27:08So to take knight, the German word for a boy or a knave was knesht.
27:13And for a while, when that was twisted around our tongue and became knight, we pronounced it knight as well.
27:22Likewise, we took a knife.
27:24We ate with a knife before we had knives.
27:27And we went on to our knies to pray.
27:29And the Anglo-Saxons talked about knitting, which turned out to be knitting in the end.
27:34Knott in ropes or strings.
27:36That gave us knitting and knots.
27:38So that explains that.
27:40The W in answer, likewise, is Germanic.
27:43And the easy way of remembering that is that it's very much linked to swear with the W in that
27:48as well, which we do pronounce.
27:50So it comes from un-swearing, which we took from German.
27:54And to answer originally was to respond to an accusation in court.
27:58So if you remember that legal sense of swearing and answering to rebut an accusation, you remember that W.
28:04But over the next few days, I'll take some more silent letters and explain why they're there and possibly why
28:09we don't pronounce them anymore as well.
28:11I love that.
28:1661 plays 60.
28:17Louise on 60.
28:18And it's David's letters game.
28:19David.
28:20A consonant, please.
28:21Thank you, David.

28:49And lastly, you.
29:14Stand by.
29:19David.
29:21Four.
29:22And Louise.
29:23I think mine's even a risky four.
29:26David.
29:27Fent.
29:28Now then.
29:28Team with, um, double E.
29:30Team.
29:31Teaming with mine.
29:31It's teaming exactly.
29:32Absolutely fine.
29:34Now, can we get beyond four, I wonder.
29:36Susanna.
29:36Just, just allow Fent.
29:38Fent would be lower than I, but not without, I'm afraid, David.
29:40Bad luck.
29:40Now, what can we have, I wonder?
29:42You've got six.
29:43Mentum.
29:44Yes.
29:45Yes.
29:46Mentum is, um, part of the mouth part, um, in some insects.
29:49Part of the floor of an insect's mouth.
29:51How useful.
29:53That's it.
29:54That's our six.
29:55You've thought the countdown, anyway.
29:55All right.
29:5664, then, to 61.
29:58Louise is, uh, three ahead.
30:00And it's Louise's letters game.

31:25to something, you salinate it.
31:27And likewise, saltine, also.
31:28So, saltine is one of those salty biscuits you can buy
31:31in New York. All right.
31:32So, David, on 68
31:34to Louise's 64.
31:36My word, we're moving into a crucial
31:38sort of situation here, perhaps. David,
