00:31Hello, everybody. It's Wednesday afternoon and we're ready to jive, talk our way through another countdown. Words at the centre
00:38of what we do. And it would be a tragedy if you tuned in to anything else. Thanks for being
00:43here. Hello, Rachel.
00:44The Bee Gees.
00:45Yes, the Bee Gees. But what I didn't fit in there was how can you mend a broken heart? Because
00:51in this day in 1971, that was the first US number one. That song doesn't register with me much. Do
00:56you register with you?
00:57Hmm. I'm terrible with music. Well, on that note, it's time for a music quiz. I know you'll love it.
01:03Perfect.
01:04Perfect. Well, we've got a perfect dictionary corner who can pick up the pieces of what you don't get. But
01:08I think, I have high hopes for you here. It's a sibling music quiz.
01:14Okay. So, these bands all have...
01:17Shall I get my guesses in before you ask the question? No, please don't, because you're probably right. It starts
01:21quite easy. These brothers ended up falling out and breaking up. And now, they're doing exactly what their biggest hit
01:29advised them against.
01:36No. Well, I'll wait. We'll wait. We'll be up for dictionary corner. These brothers ended up falling out and breaking
01:43up. And now, they're doing exactly what their biggest hit advised against. Okay, next.
01:49Despite sounding like a mousy cricket team, they actually had their biggest hit, singing about being family.
01:58Is this the sledge?
01:59Yes! Believe in yourself!
02:02Oh, sledging. Okay. I'm with you. I'm with you.
02:04I like that clue. That was good.
02:05This is more kind of cryptic crossword. You have to have a look at these to let them percolate.
02:09This is our new format idea. Just any quiz goes. I think it would be great. And that's what it
02:14should be called.
02:14Any quiz goes.
02:15Any quiz goes. Right. Well, let's go over to dictionary corner. First of all, let's do the formal bit.
02:20Good vibes always with Susie Dent as she works through the kinks of our contestants' words.
02:26And alongside her this week, a music broadcaster who knows her hearts from her hines. It's Clara Ampho.
02:32Hi.
02:34Delighted to be back.
02:35How do you not have a podcast called Amphotainment? Come on.
02:39Oh, I'm going to keep that one. I'm on fire today.
02:42I'm going to store that one. Thank you, Colin.
02:44Now, these brothers ended up falling out and breaking up now doing exactly what their biggest hit advised them against.
02:50Oasis, look back in anger.
02:51Oh, look back in anger.
02:53Yeah.
02:53That was the easiest one.
02:55I know, but Dale was trying to give me the answer and I can't cheat.
02:58Oh, obviously.
02:58Based on this show.
02:59Oh, our fourth choice director lets us down again.
03:02I know, I know.
03:03What a shame.
03:04I have to admit.
03:05Well, listen, Paul, hopefully he's not doing exactly that come three o'clock.
03:09Our new champion, Paul Johnson from St Helens.
03:13I love the fact that you do a little questionnaire before you appear on Countdown.
03:17And I think one of them says, what's your greatest achievement?
03:19And you said nothing.
03:20Nothing.
03:21You said, winning Countdown will be my greatest achievement.
03:24How are you feeling after yesterday?
03:26A bit more relaxed.
03:27You're up against Jim Seals today, originally from Wallington.
03:32Where's Wallington?
03:33It's in Surrey.
03:34It's just on the Surrey-Kent border.
03:36You were here ten years ago almost to the day.
03:40So you were very keen to get back on because that's the rule.
03:43Tell us what happened last time.
03:44Well, I played Mark Murray in Series 70 and he ended up winning the whole series.
03:50Lightning could be striking twice here.
03:52You just never know.
03:53Paul Johnson was brilliant yesterday.
03:54But we will find out Jim and Paul.
03:56Good luck.
03:59After just one win.
04:00No pressure there, Paul.
04:01Off we go.
04:02Hi, Rachel.
04:02Hi, Paul.
04:03Can we have a consonant, please?
04:04You can indeed start today with R.
04:06Another one.
04:09Another one.
04:10Another one.
04:12D.
04:14Vowel.
04:15E.
04:17Another one.
04:18I.
04:20Another one.
04:21O.
04:22Consonant.
04:24R.
04:26Another one.
04:27L.
04:30Vowel, please.
04:32And lastly, U.
04:34All right.
04:35At home and in this studio.
04:36Let's play.
04:37Countdown.
04:37Let's play.
04:38Let's play.
04:39Let's play.
05:04All right.
05:08Paul?
05:09Six.
05:10And Jim?
05:11Seven.
05:11The sixth, Paul?
05:13Period.
05:14And Jim?
05:15Prouder.
05:16Prouder.
05:17Very nice.
05:17How did you get on, Clara?
05:19Prouder as well.
05:19And I just had a dismal five with rules, so...
05:23Yeah, nothing going on, so let's move on.
05:25Good start, Jim.
05:26Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:27Good afternoon, Jim.
05:28Please may I start with a consonant?
05:30You may indeed.
05:31G.
05:32And another?
05:34T.
05:34And a vowel, please.
05:37A.
05:38And a consonant?
05:40H.
05:42And another?
05:44R.
05:45And a vowel, please.
05:47I.
05:48And another?
05:50E.
05:52A consonant?
05:54S.
05:57And another consonant, please.
05:59And lastly, M.
06:01And 30 seconds.
06:02We are finalized.
06:02We are finalized.
06:06We are finalized.
06:27MUSIC PLAYS
06:33Decent letters, Jim. How many?
06:35I try a seven.
06:36And Paul?
06:37An eight.
06:38And an eight? You don't even say try, Jim. What's a seven?
06:41Smarty.
06:42And to get those points back with interest?
06:44Ragclones.
06:45Two words we're going to have to have a look at, I think, Susie.
06:48Yes, we are.
06:49So, rag times, plural, is not in the dictionary.
06:52Rag times, singular, it's brilliant, seven, but not an eight.
06:55And smarty, you can have smarties, but not in...
07:00It's a Y in the singular, not an IE.
07:02So, sorry about that.
07:03Nil poise, nil poise.
07:06What did you spot, Clara?
07:07Mega hits on the music theme, I guess.
07:10Is that one word?
07:10Yes.
07:11Mega hits.
07:12Yes.
07:12Used to be hyphenated, for sure.
07:14Playing all the mega hits this lunchtime, the mega hits.
07:18Seven nil it stays on that subject.
07:20We're on the numbers, Paul.
07:23It's called six small.
07:24Six small, gambling early, I like it.
07:27Ten points are ten points whenever you get them in the game.
07:29Let's see if you can find some here.
07:31First numbers, nine, four, one, six, six, and ten.
07:37And the target to reach with them, 234.
07:41Two, three, four, numbers up.
07:44One, two, three.
07:47Two, four, three, four.
08:05Another one, two.
08:05One piece is on the on-site pole.
08:05Two, three, four.
08:06Two, three, four.

08:06Two, three, four five.
08:06Three, four, four.
08:08Two, four, five, five.
08:09Two, three, four.
08:09One, two!
08:14Paul?
08:152, 3, 4. Yeah, Jim?
08:172, 3, 4. Yeah, it's a nice, easy one to start off in the numbers today.
08:20Paul? 6 times 10.
08:226 times 10. 60.
08:24Times 4. 240.
08:27Take away the other 6. Lovely, well done.
08:28Same way, Jim? Yeah.
08:31Lovely.
08:34All right, another challenger in the lead going into the first break.
08:38We're getting used to that.
08:40Vat Relic is your tea time teaser.
08:42Vat Relic.
08:43A green touch from top to bottom.
08:45A green touch from top to bottom.
09:03Welcome back.
09:04A green touch from top to bottom.
09:06Bit of French to get you there.
09:07Vertical.
09:08Vertical was your answer.
09:10Paul and Jim set for a close battle today.
09:14Mr Sales, you're picking these letters.
09:16Could I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:18Thank you, Jim.

09:20And another, please.

09:47And sax.
09:49And a vowel, please.
09:52And a vowel, please.

10:09And a vowel, please.
10:11And a vowel, please.
10:12And a vowel, please.
10:19Jim? Six.
10:21And for you, Paul? Six. OK, what have you got, Jim?
10:24Stools. Yeah. Paul?
10:25Ovates. Oh, ovates and stools.
10:31Yes, ovates, just check it's there as a noun.
10:34Yeah, a member of an order of Welsh bards recognised at an Eidsteadford.
10:37I'd forgotten that. Difficult to get beyond the sixth.
10:40Did Dictionary Corner manage it? We've got an eight, solvates.
10:43Ah. Yes, involved in chemical reactions.
10:46No-one came unstuck in that round. You get six points each.
10:49And we'll do more letters now, Paul.
10:51Can I have a consonant, please? Thank you, Paul.
10:54F. Another one.
10:56P. Another one.

11:19Lastly, N.
11:21And half a minute.
11:21I'll wait for a minute.
11:22A.
11:23A.
11:35A.
11:37A.
11:38A.
11:39A.
11:51A.
11:53Time's up, Paul.
11:54That's just a six.
11:55Six from you and Jim.
11:56Just a five.
11:57A five, what's a five?
11:58Famed.
12:00And six to pull it back to within one point.
12:03Deacon.
12:03Deacon, one for the Queen fans.
12:05How did you get on there, Claire?
12:07Have decamp in six.
12:09Yeah.
12:09Or another six pomade for your hair.
12:11Is that it?
12:11Yes, just sixes.
12:13All right, all right, that's good.
12:14That's good, back within one point.
12:16So let's go numbers.
12:17Let's see if we can shake it up, Jim.
12:18Could I have one large, please, Rachel?
12:21You can indeed.
12:21One from the top this time.
12:22Five little coming up.
12:24And for the second time today, the numbers are one, five, seven, five, two, and the large one, 50.
12:33And the target, 974.
12:37974.
12:37Numbers up.
13:08Nine, seven, four, Jim.
13:11980.
13:12Six away.
13:13Paul?
13:14973, not written down.
13:16973.
13:16One away.
13:17Off you go.
13:18Five plus five.
13:19Five plus five is ten.
13:22Times two.
13:23Times two is 20.
13:2450 minus one.
13:2650 minus one, 49.
13:28Times 20.
13:30Four, 980.
13:33Then takeaway seven.
13:33Yep.
13:34Nine, seven, three.
13:35One below.
13:36Now, 974, Rachel.
13:38Yes, it was there.
13:40We're 50 times five is 250.
13:44Take away seven for 243.
13:47Then the second five minus one is four.
13:49Times those together for 972.
13:52And add on the two.
13:53974.
13:53Yeah.
13:57Dick Shinry Corner debut this week for Clara Ampho.
14:00Loving having you there.
14:02We've been talking music most of the week, rightfully so.
14:04And you look at this summer Olympics at the moment.
14:07You know, we had the Euros.
14:09But every summer is busy for anyone in the music business because of the festivals.
14:12Let's do festival stories.
14:14Yeah.
14:15I'm sure you've got quite a few of them.
14:17Escaping from portaloos, for sure.
14:20Nothing will ever prepare you for the smell of a portaloos being drained at a festival.
14:25Not one of my favourite things.
14:27But, you know, needs must.
14:28Yeah.
14:29Needs must.
14:30But, no, festivals are just great.
14:31It's just an escape, isn't it?
14:33You know?
14:33Why do we love it then?
14:34Because you're right.
14:35Like, you don't shower for three or four days.
14:37You know, I hate camping in tents.
14:40Hate it so much.
14:42The conditions, the toilets stink.
14:44What is the other side of that?
14:46Like, why have we put ourselves through that?
14:48I think as you feel like a little kid again, it's an escape.
14:51It's like you're just in a nice little bubble, you know?
14:53You think about your big festivals like Glastonbury and the like.
14:56It's just a lot of like-minded people just wanting, you know, a bit of a dreamland kind of state,
15:02I think.
15:02Yeah.
15:03I also think, like, any huge group of people singing along is worth all that effort.
15:08I don't even have to like the band.
15:10No, truly.
15:10And I think also the funny thing is all the bands that people think they don't like,
15:14they end up loving by the end of a big festival.
15:16Like, ugh, can't believe these people are headlining.
15:17And then by the end, everyone's like, come together now.
15:20And it's great.
15:21That's Glastonbury every year.
15:22Can't believe they're headlining.
15:23Field's full.
15:24100,000 people.
15:25I couldn't possibly comment.
15:28For yourself, then, what's your festival highlight of all time, just as a music fan?
15:33Do you know what?
15:34I think one of my big festival highlights was every year with Glastonbury, you always have to have a big
15:39live link when you're very aware.
15:41Everyone's watching.
15:41It's really loud.
15:43You can barely hear yourself.
15:44You can barely hear the TV director in your ear.
15:46But when you make those counts and it doesn't clash, it's a great feeling.
15:50I sweat as a presenter for you when they go, Clara's there.
15:54And because I know that your timing may as well not exist.
15:58Exactly.
15:59Because they're relying on the headline artist being prompt and ready to go on stage.
16:04And that must happen once out of every ten.
16:07So, like, you know you're going to have, like, just that.
16:11You could have that situation where, and you've had it, actually.
16:14We've had to throw back.
16:15So, pop star's shoe's fallen off.
16:16Okay, fill for five seconds.
16:17Okay, the drummer has dropped his drumstick.
16:19Just carry on filling.
16:20Keep going, keep going.
16:21And then when you make it, you just, the sigh of relief.
16:25It's like there's nothing like it.
16:26And you always get a nice cheer from everyone who's watching.
16:28But Elton John, I think, was definitely a highlight.
16:31That was fab.
16:31And I loved how he just brought out the artists that nobody had predicted.
16:38It wasn't the big, obvious old names he brought out.
16:41He's like, here's a young singer.
16:42I've been working with you.
16:43I love just bringing people on stage.
16:45Very much summed up him and his legacy as well.
16:47Exactly.
16:47He still cares about new artists and new music.
16:49And it's really inspiring.
16:50Brilliant.
16:51Love it.
16:51Thank you, Clara.
16:55Clara, our headliner this week, as we get back to the game,
16:58and we don't know who's going to steal the show here.
17:00Paul, you're back in the lead.
17:01It's been nip and tuck, though.
17:03It's your letters.
17:04Okay, a consonant, please.
17:05Thank you, Paul.
17:06T.
17:07Another one.

17:25Another one.
17:27T.
17:28Vowel, please.
17:30And the last one, E.
17:32And here we go.
17:34What's next?
17:38And here we go.
17:38What's next?
17:39What?
17:58MUSIC PLAYS
18:04It's all the time we can give you, Paul.
18:06Seven. Seven. And Jim? Seven.
18:08Seven, Paul.
18:09Shuttle. And Jim? Thistle.
18:12Shuttle and Thistle.
18:13Very nice. In a world of sevens, I didn't have those two,
18:16so that's great. We're definitely going to get more.
18:18What have we got? We also have hostile for seven.
18:21Yeah. Yes.
18:23Holiest. Holiest.
18:24Out hits. Very nice.
18:26Do you remember the out? Yep.
18:28Out hits. A lot going on there.
18:30There were. Lots of sevens. No eights?
18:31No, not that we could see. Not angry, just disappointed.
18:34We'll move on. Get more letters. And it's you, Jim.
18:36Could I begin with a consonant, please, Rachel?
18:38Thank you, Jim.
18:40N.
18:40And another?
18:42V.
18:43And a vowel, please.

19:34And a vowel.
19:41How did you get on, Gem?
19:42Seven.
19:43And Paul?
19:44Seven, not really dull.
19:45OK, what did you not write down?
19:47Oversaw.
19:48What did you write down?
19:49Wonders.
19:50Wonders and oversaw.
19:51Very nice indeed.
19:53Clara, enlighten me.
19:54Are we sticking to sevens?
19:57We're sticking to sevens.
19:58We only really had oversaw, didn't we?
20:00Yeah, wardens.
20:02Yeah, variational wonders.
20:03But no, still stuck on seven.
20:05That's it.
20:05That means you're at the top of your game.
20:06Both of you.
20:07Let's do it again, Paul.
20:08Numbers.
20:09Let's go four large.
20:10Yeah, gambling time again.

25:14six or more please just on a fair six that is unfair that's it nothing no nothing better than that
25:21or the raisin if you're if you're partial to a raisin or two four rows to go susie origins of
25:27words
25:28yeah a lovely question from heather wood in sligo
25:31uh came my way and what heather asked if anything connects the many meanings of
25:36bay as in uh an inlet by the sea uh the laurel shrub uh the horse with the brown chestnut
25:45body and
25:45black mane and tail the verb to bay for the moon or bay for blood and to be at bay
25:51and i would love to say
25:54what i do quite often say on the program that they're all connected and they're all part from
25:59the same family and they've they've had this wonderful journey to take them in different
26:03places but actually once we look at all the different meanings you'll have a very good idea
26:07as to how complicated english can be so i'm going to kick off um hounds have been baying since medieval
26:15time and it probably was born for its sound so like bark quite a harsh guttural sound bay although
26:21it's a little bit softer it probably was supposed to reproduce the sound of of a of a hound and
26:28when
26:28people bay for blood which heather mentions there or indeed when they bay for the moon which means
26:33something is completely futile that too is looking back to the hounds um essentially as does um in
26:41fact being at bay because it originated in hunting and when you were at bay you are cornered really um
26:47is the idea and you're forced to face your attackers um but if you're held at bay you're sort of
26:53held
26:53back just as a hound might be sort of holding you in place so to speak now that's that one
26:58the geographical
26:59bay um goes back to a french word uh bay actually traveled through spanish but that's it we don't
27:05know its journey before then but it doesn't seem to be linked to the barking bay then you have the
27:09bay
27:10tree uh now that comes from a latin word baka which meant a berry and believe it or not that
27:15means that
27:16the bay tree is a relative of the baccalaureate which was a degree that was conferred upon scholars
27:22and they were given a laurel uh wreath uh with with the berries on to uh to celebrate it then
27:28you have
27:28bay for the horse chestnut colored um now believe it or not that is linked to the bays on a
27:35snooker
27:35table because although the bays on the table today is very green originally it was actually a chestnut
27:42colored when it covered billiard tables and finally that bay is also at the root of the english word bay
27:48described uh to describe a brown horse with a black mane and a tail so you can see all these
27:54different threads almost running parallel through the centuries and all of them from different sources
27:59thank you two points in at four rounds to go we have been sport last week and this week let's
28:08go
28:09uh could i start with a consonant please rachel thank you jim m and another n and a vowel please

30:45Big round this, Paul?
30:47Just a five.
30:48A five, a little bit of pressure, Jim.
30:49Just a four.
30:51Oh!
30:52The four?
30:53Wage.
30:53Wage.
30:54And Paul, earning your money?
30:56Tweak.
30:57Tweak?
30:58Tweak.
30:58Just a little tweak and you're out of the crucial territory.
31:02Oh, my goodness me.
31:04I love rounds like that.
31:05I love rounds like that.
31:06OK, how do we get on, Susie and Clara?
31:08We have a six in uptake.
31:10An uptake, very good.
31:12The uptake and people signing up for something or whatever.
31:15And that's it.
31:16Pupate is another one when a larva becomes a pupa.
31:20There you go.
31:20But, yeah, just sixes for us.
31:22All right, we may not get a crucial today,
31:25but, Jim, not all is lost.
31:27Last numbers you're choosing.
31:29Could I have six more, please, Rachel?
31:30Yeah, it's gambling time, do or die.
31:33Six little ones coming up.
31:35The final numbers of the day.
31:37Three, nine, four, six, ten.
31:42And another three.
31:43And the target to reach.
31:45Ooh, 947.
31:47947, last numbers.
31:4910,000.
31:5010,000.
32:19And that is time.
32:22Jim.
32:22No, lost it.
32:23Lost it, and therefore lost this encounter, Paul.
32:26Lost it as well.
32:27Yeah, it's just, you were right to go six smaller,
32:30or the equivalent, you know, or four larger, whatever.
32:33I think there may actually be scrapes
32:35in the back of that clipboard.
32:37That was that tense watching you.
32:38Did you get there?
32:39You could have got to one away.
32:41So this was impossible.
32:42You could have got to 948.
32:44And that's it.
32:45But I say you could have, because I didn't.
32:48This was really tricky.
32:49Really tricky, but no-one in the world
32:51could get that bang on.
32:52So 947 is impossible.
32:55And the dream, 10 years on, ends for Jim.
33:00But much better performance this time around.
33:02And still 10 points up for grabs.
33:04So let's do this, because it could be another 10 years, Jim.
33:07Paul, you ready?
33:08Good.
33:09Let's do today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:26Paul.
33:28Premiered?
33:29Premiered.
33:29Let's have a look.
33:30Brilliant.
33:34Good stuff.
33:3578-53, the final score.
33:37Really doesn't tell the story.
33:39That sigh of relief from Paul speaks volumes.
33:42But Jim, you know, it may be that lightning has just struck twice,
33:47because Paul could be there, thereabouts, the way he's going.
33:50Oh, you'd be gutted if he was series champion.
33:53Oh, my goodness.
33:54Lightning strikes twice again.
33:55Thank you, Jim.
33:56Lovely to see you.
33:57Paul, we'll see you tomorrow.
