00:31Well, good afternoon. Welcome to Countdown Studio.
00:34The point is, rules is rules.
00:37And if you break them, there's no good getting long-faced about it, Rachel.
00:40For instance, what about this Dominican singer?
00:43He had a ripe mardi, I think the expression is.
00:46He was going for a world record on the longest singing marathon.
00:51Basically, he stands there and he pumps out 5,000 songs.
00:54Well, it took him 106.7 hours.
00:57He must have had a lozenge or two during that, I would have thought.
01:01But anyway, he beat the previous record of 105 hours.
01:05And then he's feeling terrific.
01:07And then the judges say you're disqualified.
01:10He says, what are you talking about?
01:11They said, no, I'm sorry.
01:13Because you took longer than the allowed 30 seconds between songs.
01:19And he threw a wobbly.
01:20And frankly, I don't understand it.
01:24For 106 hours.
01:25I mean, to be quite honest with you, you know, Countdown, one game, and my voice is gone.
01:31I take an extract of time, which is actually terrifically good for the throat.
01:36Unfortunately, it is also a world-class laxative.
01:40So, there's a drawback wherever you look.
01:44Yes, and that's why we only see you from the waist up.
01:49Who's here?
01:53Stephen Mello's here after two good wins.
01:55Well done, Stephen.
01:57Yeah, A-level student from Yorkshire.
01:58Very good.
01:59Got your teapot, but don't relax.
02:01I won't.
02:02No.
02:03You're joined by David Nixon.
02:04Retired from the building trade.
02:06Comes from Romsey in Hampshire.
02:07That lovely part of the world.
02:09Lovely part of the world.
02:10But you're a runner, too.
02:11Yes.
02:12You belong to the Romsey Road Runners.
02:15And you're into an orienteering club with the Southampton Orienteering Club.
02:19That's right.
02:20Now, what's that all about?
02:22It's navigating with a map and compass around the countryside.
02:26Okay.
02:27Running, ideally.
02:28Running.
02:28So, you can go around the paths.
02:30You can go straight through the forest.
02:32Excellent.
02:32If there's a hill, you might be able to go around it or up and over it.
02:36Well, you're going to have to find your way through Countdown, which is also quite complicated.
02:39Let's have a big round of applause for Stephen and David.
02:47Stephen and David, indeed.
02:49And over in the corner there, we've got Susie.
02:52And until we can get him back, comedian, writer, good guy, Charlie Higgs.
02:57And welcome back.
02:58Welcome back, Charlie.
03:02All right, let's get down to business.
03:05Stephen, off we go.
03:06Hi, Rachel.
03:07Hi, Stephen.
03:07Can I start the day with a consonant, please?

04:19Yes, David.
04:20Unpaid.
04:21And unpaid.
04:23Yes, both nice.
04:24Charlie and Susie?
04:26A really horrible word, unpaint, is there for seven.
04:31In the old sense of to obliterate the painting or simply remove the paint from it.
04:34But a much nicer one is utopian.
04:37Yeah, very good.
04:38OK, six apiece.
04:40Good start there, David.
04:41David, it's your letters game now.
04:43Good afternoon, Rachel.

06:16Fiasco.
06:18And fiasco.
06:19Fiasco, very, very good.
06:22Yes.
06:22Wides also fine.
06:23Turn from cricket.
06:24Board judge to be too wide.
06:26Exactly.
06:26What about the corner there?
06:28Charlie?
06:28Can't do any better than that.
06:30I just had a five sewed.
06:32Suzy?
06:33Fiasco is the only one that we had as well.
06:35That's it?
06:36Yeah.
06:36All right.
06:36Let's go for a numbers game.
06:38Stephen?
06:39Could I have six more, please, Rachel?
06:41You can, indeed.
06:42Your favourite.
06:42Thank you, Stephen.
06:43Six little ones.
06:44And for the first time today, the numbers are one, five, three, six, seven, and two.
06:53Quite small.
06:54And target, 950.
06:56Nine, five, zero.
07:30Nine, four, five, I think, but not written down.
07:34Five away, David.
07:35Nothing, I'm afraid.
07:37No, we'll stick with Stephen, then.
07:39Yes, Stephen?
07:40I did six plus two plus one.
07:42Six plus two plus one is nine.
07:44Multiply by the three.
07:46Multiply by three, 27.
07:48And multiply by the seven.
07:50Multiply by the seven for 189.
07:52And then multiply by five.
07:55And multiply by, yeah, five for 945.
08:01Well done.
08:02So 945.
08:03But what about 950, Rachel?
08:05Well, 950 is actually impossible.
08:06This is the best you could have done.
08:08That's it.
08:08So very well done, Stephen.
08:09Yeah, well done, Stephen.
08:10All right.
08:10Nineteen plays six.
08:12As we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is tool bangs.
08:15And the clue, sail in these might drive you bananas.
08:19Sailing in these might drive you bananas.
08:39Welcome back.
08:40I left with the clue, sailing in these might drive you bananas.
08:44And the answer to that is longboats.
08:46Sailing in longboats could drive you bananas.
08:50David, your letters game.
08:53I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.

10:13Also a seven.
10:14David?
10:15Version.
10:17Stephen?
10:18Ravines.
10:19And ravines.
10:20Very nice.
10:21And Charlie and Susie?
10:23There is a nine there, Nick.
10:25Yes, it's overstain.
10:27And it is a term from histology, which is the analysis of tissue samples,
10:31where the tissue is deliberately stained to excess,
10:34so that when you remove the stain, you can differentiate certain elements within it.
10:39I understand.
10:39Very good.
10:43Let's hope it's never necessary.
10:45I don't like the sound of that very much.
10:4726, base 13.
10:49Stephen, let us go.
10:51Could I have a consonant, please?

12:01Let's hear yours first, David.
12:03Brigades.
12:05Very good.
12:06Now, yes?
12:07Brigades as well.
12:08Brigades.
12:10Yep.
12:10And over in the corner.
12:12Susie managed to make a longer word.
12:13I had bridges, and you made abridges.
12:16Yeah, I'll give you another eight.
12:18Very good.
12:18Well done.
12:19APPLAUSE
12:22She always likes to give you that little bit extra, Susie.
12:26It's in her nature, you know.
12:2834 plays, 21.
12:29David, your numbers game.
12:31All right, thank you.
12:32And two large numbers and four small ones, please, Rachel.
12:37Thank you, David.
12:37Two from the top and four little ones.
12:39And this time the small ones are three, three, ten and five.
12:45And the large two, 75 and 100.
12:48And the target, 927.
12:50927.

13:24Well, David?
13:25Um, 927.
13:28Well done.
13:29923, not written down.
13:31923, right.
13:33Take it away, David.
13:34Um, 100 times, um, 10.
13:381,000.
13:39Is 1,000.
13:41Take away the 75.
13:43925.
13:44925.
13:465 minus 3 is 2.
13:48Yeah.
13:49And that is on.
13:50Perfect.
13:5197.
13:51Well done.
13:52Well done.
13:53Well done.
13:56Well done, David.
13:5834 now to your 31.
14:01I come back very, very strongly as we turn to Charlie.
14:04The Fast Show.
14:06What a triumph that was.
14:07It was so popular.
14:08It was so good.
14:09And then, so good, in fact, you started bringing in, you know, Hollywood stars.
14:14We did manage to get Johnny Depp onto the Fast Show, which was quite exciting.
14:20He'd got to know the show.
14:21He's a big anglophile and he hangs out with a lot of rock musicians.
14:25And it was the kind of show that bands would watch on the tour bus and in the hotels.
14:29And he said, yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:30I really want to come and do the show.
14:32So we wrote a sketch.
14:34We had the characters that suit you tailors.
14:37Basically, very simple sketches.
14:39Somebody would turn up in their shop and they'd abuse them for about three minutes.
14:43So we thought, well, that would be fun with Johnny Depp.
14:47And he said, yeah, I can do it.
14:49We were recording a new series.
14:51He says, yeah, yeah, I could actually do it on this one day.
14:54He was filming two films at once.
14:56He was flying into England to get some prosthetic fingernails fitted, as you do when you're in Hollywood.
15:03But he said, yeah, I could come to you from the airport and we'd film the sketch in the afternoon.
15:08But, you know, it's interesting.
15:10Everybody wants to be a celebrity.
15:11They think they're going to have this great, glamorous lifestyle.
15:14But, you know, your life is not your own.
15:17He had this one little gap in the day.
15:19And we did.
15:19Robbie Williams also turned out to be a fan right at the height of his fame.
15:23Yeah.
15:25And we were set up to do a comic relief sketch with him.
15:30But we had to film it like 10 months in advance.
15:33So when he turned up on the day, we were filming on location at Hampton Court.
15:36We said to him, why are we having to do this 10 months in advance?
15:40And he said, well, I could show you my diary for the next two years and I could show you
15:44what I'm doing on every hour of every day at that time.
15:48This is the only time I could do it.
15:50I kind of thought, you know what?
15:51I don't really want to be this famous if this is what your life turns out like.
15:56Absolutely.
15:56You know, there's a terrific saying.
15:59I think it was John Updike.
16:00He said, celebrity is a mask that eats your face.
16:04You take it off.
16:05It's nothing.
16:06It's all gone.
16:07God, I'm going to burst into tears now.
16:09Do you want to cry with me?
16:12Thank you, Charlie.
16:18Thank you, Charlie.
16:20Now, this is a close run thing here.
16:2334 plays 31.

17:54these modern types of music that only young people know about.
17:59What do they call it? Reggaeton. Oh, really? And I think it's actually got nothing to do with reggae.
18:06Yeah, not really. You're right. Puerto Rican origin, fusion of Latin rhythms, dancehall and hip-hop or rap.
18:15Brilliant. Reggaeton. And it's a nine. Cracking word there. Well done. 40 plays, 37, three points in it. David? David,

25:30Six.
25:31You're six?
25:33Um, modish.
25:35Modish, yeah.
25:36Now, Stephen.
25:37Mikados?
25:38Yes, the Japanese emperor is very good.
25:41Well done.
25:42Well done.
25:43You're back in the lead, Stephen.
25:4564 to 61.
25:47Susie, let's rest them for a moment.
25:50We're fighting away here.
25:51What have you for us by way of your origins of words?
25:55More on the theme that I often come to you because I really love it.
25:59It's words that wear their hearts on their sleeve, but we just pass them by because we don't quite recognize
26:05the obviousness of it.
26:07And I'm going to start with the beef eater.
26:09The beef eaters that you will find at the Tower of London, a really curious nickname, if you like.
26:14Actually, more than a nickname.
26:16They use it themselves, really.
26:18But it does have everything to do with eating beef.
26:21And we know that the French still call us occasionally les roast beef because we were well known for the
26:28roast beef that we ate.
26:29But how did that work with the beef eaters?
26:31Well, it first came about as a reference by Cosimo III de Medici.
26:35He was the Grand Duke of Custody who came to the royal household in 1669.
26:41And he referred to the yeomen of the guard in those days.
26:44And he said a very large ration of beef is given to them daily at the court and they might
26:48be called beef eaters.
26:49And for a long time, actually, it was an insult for a well-fed servant.
26:54They were fed proper beef, whilst the lowlier members of the household would be fed the off cuts, if you
27:00like.
27:00But anyway, the crucial thing is they really did eat beef very often.
27:05Offal is a combination of off and fall.
27:09Very obvious because it's the refuse or rubbish that's left after the best cuts of meat have been taken.
27:14So they let it fall off because it was worthless.
27:17And while cupboards were boards or tables for cups, a sideboard was a dining table.
27:22And it would be placed at the side of a room or to the side of the main table, if
27:26you like.
27:26Because, again, it was for the people who were considered to be of less importance.
27:30So they were put to the side.
27:32The sideboard was where they ate.
27:33Put to the side for a reason.
27:35That's wonderful.
27:36Very good.
27:42As you say, it all becomes very clear, doesn't it?
27:45Obviously.
27:46Wonderful.
27:4764 to 61.
