00:30Hello, everybody. It's Thursday, the 23rd of April.
00:34This is Countdown.
00:36We're not going to ask you to subscribe, to sign up, to leave a comment, to like.
00:40Absolutely nothing like that.
00:42But maybe you want a cup of tea or coffee, and we just hope you enjoy the show.
00:46Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:47Over in Dictionary Corner is our doyen of that dictionary, Susie Dent.
00:52We have the Superman, Richard Whitehead, alongside and our Queen of Numbers, Rachel Riley.
00:58Now, today, the 21st, believe it or not, 21st anniversary of YouTube.
01:05Oh, my goodness me. Really, I stood the test of time.
01:09So let's celebrate with a quiz.
01:10I'm going to give you two videos.
01:12You just have to guess which one has more views at this exact moment.
01:17This is a bit of fun.
01:18So, some dude in 2012 at the Paralympics filmed Richard winning his gold.
01:24Even now, he's only got 45 subscribers, but he filmed it on TV and put it up, right?
01:30Versus Susie Dent's first appearance on Countdown.
01:34Now, the context is important there, and that's no word of a lie.
01:37Some dude, 45 followers, no rights, filmed it, put it up, right?
01:42Susie, this looks much more of a professional video.
01:45You know?
01:46So, what do you reckon, Richard?
01:48Come on, it's between you two here.
01:49What do you think?
01:50I think maybe Susie.
01:52You're being played.
01:53I'm with Richard.
01:54I'm just trying to work out the psychology of where you're trying to point us towards.
01:58Definitely trying to point us to the first one.
02:00Yeah, I'm fine.
02:01I'll take the bet.
02:01I'm going with Richard.
02:02You're going with Richard.
02:03Okay, well, Susie Dent's first appearance on Countdown at the time of viewing, which
02:07really, a couple of weeks ago, when I put this together, 320,000.
02:12And the dude who filmed him winning gold, 722,000.
02:16Yeah.
02:18It goes to show, like, you know, that immediacy of putting it up.
02:22All right.
02:23People like to see people do stuff.
02:25Oh, look, they fell over and all that.
02:26People love a bit of that.
02:27So, these two videos have that in it.
02:29Rachel Riley, this is the official Channel 4 video, by the way, right?
02:34There's no one doing any of that, right?
02:36Eating hot chillies on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
02:39That was rough, right?
02:41Or me, live, snapping my ligament in two during a BBC Five Live game of five-a-side football.
02:49It's a full-on-camera angle.
02:51And, again, that's the official BBC video.
02:55Which one did people want to ask for?
02:56I'm Rachel, definitely.
02:57It was one, this one.
02:57Sorry.
02:58Are you going for Rachel for this one?
02:59Oh, my goodness.
03:01I'll go the same, Rachel, yeah.
03:03OK.
03:03I mean, I think Sean had a hand in the chillies.
03:07And I think people might be searching for Sean, because everybody loves Sean and Mrs. Sean.
03:11So, I'm going to go with that one.
03:12It's actually so, so close.
03:15So, 514,000 people have watched the official chilli-eating video.
03:22But I'm afraid 2.9,000 people have snapped my ligament.
03:31So, yeah, well done.
03:32Good stuff.
03:3421st anniversary of YouTube.
03:36It's absolutely crazy.
03:38And hoping to create their own little moments as champion and challenger today.
03:41Andy Watts, a super fan of Countdown, got his win up yesterday in impressive style with a century.
03:48Welcome back, my friend.
03:49Are you well?
03:50Thanks, Colin.
03:51Very well.
03:51How are you?
03:51I like the fact you were all casual yesterday as challenger, now as champion.
03:55You're suited and booted.
03:56Let's go.
03:56It's time to take it serious, isn't it?
03:59Well, you're up against Tom Bashford, who lives in Oldham at the moment.
04:03How are you doing, mate?
04:04I'm well, Colin.
04:05Now, this is the time of year that you get your tennis racket out in the vapour.
04:09You're such a keen player.
04:10Tell us a bit about it.
04:12Yeah.
04:12All year round if I can, but I do play a lot more when the weather's nicer.
04:17So, who are you playing for?
04:18Because I think you want to play in the county championships this summer.
04:22That would be nice, yeah.
04:23They do an over-35s in Lancashire or in Bolton Arena every year.
04:29So, it would be nice to hopefully go a little bit further in that.
04:33Yeah, we'll see.
04:34All right.
04:34Well, best of luck with that.
04:35You will be receiving as challenger first.
04:37So, let's get on with Countdown.
04:40You serve, Andy.
04:41Let's have it.
04:42Hello, Rachel.
04:42Hi, Andy.
04:43Can we start with a vowel?
04:45Start today with O.
04:47And another one.
04:48I.
04:49And another one.
04:50E.
04:52And one more.
04:54A.
04:55And a consonant.
04:56D.
04:57Another one.
04:58C.
04:59Another one, please.
05:00R.
05:01Another one.
05:02D.
05:03And one more.
05:05Lastly, S.
05:06At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
05:08And one more.
05:15I'll see you next time.
05:17Bye.
05:20Bye.
05:23Bye.
05:31Bye.
05:33Bye.
05:34Bye.
05:36Bye.
05:39OK, here we go, Andy.
05:41Seven. And for you, Tom?
05:43Seven also. OK, what have we got, Andy?
05:46Caddies. Yeah, so you go on the golf, not tennis, and Tom?
05:49Caddies as well. Ah, pass it on over there.
05:51We'll build that trust nice and early.
05:54Excellent. Seven points each.
05:56Dictionary corner, what else? Yeah, we've got seven, but we've got a nice eight.
05:59Roadside. And roadside. Yeah.
06:02Tom, you're choosing for the first time, so let's get your letters.
06:04Hi, Rachel. Hi, Tom. Can I have a vowel, please?
06:06You can indeed. I. And a consonant.
06:10W. A consonant.
06:14T. And a vowel.
06:16E. Another one, please.
06:19U. And a vowel.
06:22E. And a consonant.
06:25M. And a consonant.
06:27C. And a consonant.
06:29And lastly, N. Now, let's do it.
07:09There you go.
07:10Yes.
07:11Only one of those you want to put in your food.
07:13What else you got?
07:13One more seven.
07:14Centime.
07:15Oh, centime.
07:16Is that the old French penny?
07:18Old French penny, exactly that.
07:20Seems so long ago now, doesn't it, the centime?
07:22The franc sticks in the brain,
07:23but the centime had to search for a bit.
07:25Yeah.
07:26All right, the slenderest of leads for Andy
07:29as we get the numbers for the first time today.
07:31What are you going to do?
07:32Four from the top, please.
07:33Four from the top.
07:33You can have four from the top.
07:35Definitely needs a better name.
07:37There we go.
07:37Two little ones.
07:39And they are one and nine.
07:41And then the big four.
07:4275, 100, 25 and 50.
07:46And the target, 239.
07:48239.
07:49Numbers up.
08:20239, Andy.
08:21Uh, 248.
08:23Ooh, nine away for you, Tom.
08:26236.
08:28236.
08:28Three away for seven points.
08:30Off you go.
08:3025 plus one is 26.
08:33Yes.
08:34Multiply by nine.
08:36234.
08:37And then 100 divided by 50 is two.
08:39And Addicton.
08:40Lovely.
08:40236, three away.
08:42Nice.
08:42And 239, Rach.
08:44I think this one took me 29 seconds and then I went,
08:46oh, 50 divided by 25 is two.
08:5075 minus two, so one is 74.
08:54Times that two is 148.
08:56And then add on the 100 and take the nine.
09:00239.
09:00Nice.
09:03For 239, as we get this tea time teaser,
09:06auto mint, auto mint.
09:08In the words of Sheryl Crow,
09:09change would do you good.
09:11In the words of Sheryl Crow,
09:12change would do you good.
09:29Welcome back, everybody.
09:30Thursday afternoon's Countdown.
09:32Mutation was your first tea time teaser.
09:34And we have a game on our hands today.
09:36Our challenger, one point lead as you pick these letters.
09:40OK.
09:40Rachel, can I start with a consonant, please?
09:41Thank you, Tom.
10:07And here we go.
10:42How many, Tom?
10:44Six.
10:44And for you, Andy?
10:45Seven.
10:46The sixth, Tom?
10:47Ragout.
10:48And for the lead to change hands again?
10:51Three.
10:51Three?
10:52The two H's.
10:54Hmm.
10:54Yeah.
10:55Unfortunately, sorry.
10:57And I think our ragout is going into a nice ragout, is it?
11:00Ragout is a lovely stew.
11:02But that'd be really terrible if we were like,
11:04you have to pronounce it exactly right.
11:06We know what you mean.
11:07There's no other way you could spell it.
11:09So there you go.
11:10Lovely stuff.
11:11For you, Richard, can we go further?
11:13No better than a six, but author.
11:15Oh, OK.
11:17It's as saucy as it gets, so let's go for more letters now.
11:20Andy, it goes to show even the champion can make a mistake writing the letters down.
11:25Basics first, Andy, off we go.
11:27We'll start with a vowel, please.
11:28Thank you, Andy.
11:29A.
11:29And another one.
11:31O.
11:31And another one.
11:32E.
11:33And a consonant.
11:35Y.
11:36And another one.
11:37S.
11:39And another one.
11:40N.
11:41And a vowel.
11:43I.
11:44And a consonant.
11:46P.
11:49And...
11:50..a consonant, please.
11:52Lastly, M.
11:54Half a minute.
12:26Andy.
12:27Seven.
12:28Tom.
12:29A six.
12:30Here we go again, a six.
12:32Monies.
12:32Monies.
12:33And is this seven OK?
12:34Let's find out.
12:36Moponies.
12:36We knew what was coming.
12:39So you've got a tises, 20 points, a piece.
12:43Richard, what are we going to throw in?
12:44Yes, we have some sevens.
12:46Yes.
12:46The seven was...
12:47The other one was eponyms.
12:49Eponyms.
12:49So these are, you know, names or nouns that are formed after the name of a person.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Absolutely.
12:55So all square?
12:56This might separate you.
12:57Let's find out.
12:57Tom, your numbers.
12:59I'd like three large, please.
13:01We've had four large, and now we're going down to three.
13:04It doesn't necessarily make it any easier.
13:05Let's see.
13:06The small ones, one, eight, two, and the big ones, 50, 75, and 25.
13:13And the target, 999.
13:16Nine, nine, nine.
13:18Numbers up.
13:19The small ones, one, nine.
13:50999, Tom.
13:51Yes, no, no, no.
13:52And Andy.
13:53Didn't.
13:541,000.
13:55Missed it.
13:56Yeah, missed it.
13:56Woo!
13:57Tom, off you go.
13:59So 25 plus 75 is 100.
14:01There's going to be some self-kicking, I think.
14:04There we go.
14:05And 2 plus 8 is 10.
14:06Yeah.
14:06Multiply for 1,000, and then subtract the 1.
14:09Well done.
14:10This is a good game.
14:11LAUGHTER
14:13APPLAUSE
14:13All right, time for a Thursday afternoon chat with our dictionary corner
14:17gets Richard Whitehead, and we'll eventually get to how prosthetics
14:23in Paralympic sport have advanced so much.
14:25But you were born 76, I think.
14:29I was, yeah.
14:30Yes, we're the same generation.
14:31It's a great year.
14:32Right?
14:32Not as good as 77.
14:35And I can't imagine you were given anything as a minor that would approach anything you
14:41could run fast with.
14:42Because you're so far away from British athletics in any way being properly funded.
14:48No, it's not.
14:49The battle to get the right equipment to do it must have gone on, must be a couple of
14:52decades long, right?
14:53Yeah.
14:53When I started my running journey, it was trying to find the technology that was readily available.
15:01Now, the NHS didn't provide that at that point.
15:04And so I had to run on my knees, generally, on these sports cups, so I didn't have the
15:11sports prosthetics to enable me to run out on the road.
15:15And so I did that in the gym and late at night.
15:18And then when I got my kind of moment, when I was given the actual prosthetics, that gave
15:25me that real platform to shine.
15:28And then the moment came in, obviously, in 2012, where, obviously, I had my platform.
15:33But marathon running was all about kind of me challenging myself to be the best form
15:40of a person, as well as an athlete that I could be.
15:42But I think going back to those moments of really struggle, that's what I think about
15:48when I'm on the start line of every marathon that I run now.
15:51Because I know that whatever I'm going through in this next 26 miles isn't going to be as
15:56tough as when I was a young boy that didn't have the technology available.
15:59Brilliant.
16:00Lovely, lovely stuff.
16:01Thank you, Richard.
16:05Lovely to have Richard Whitehead with us all week.
16:07What a treat it is.
16:08Let's get back to our letters.
16:10And Andy, our champion, playing catch-up.
16:12Start with a consonant this time, please, Rachel.
16:15Thank you, Andy.
16:15G.
16:16And another one.
16:18Z.
16:19And another one.
16:22And another one, please.
16:28And another one, please.
16:31And a further one.
16:38And another consonant, please.
16:41A final R.
16:43Start at the clock.
16:44Music.
16:45Music.
16:47Music.
16:56Music.
16:58Music.
16:59Music.
17:00MUSIC PLAYS
17:14Andy? Six. Yes, Tom? Six as well.
17:17Yeah, hard to get beyond it, Andy?
17:20Troop, O-U-P-E. And for you, Tom?
17:23Tongue. And tongue, all right.
17:26Not worried about sixes, really. Can you get beyond it?
17:29Not for us, no. I was looking for Pertune, as in Oppertune, et cetera,
17:33but not there, so six with the top.
17:35Not even a flower, not a part of the body. Not a chemical element.
17:40All right, ten points still, the difference.
17:42And, Tom, maintaining that lead.
17:45That's all you need to do, get your letters.
17:47Consonant, please. Thank you, Tom.
17:49H. And another, please. L.
17:52And again. R.
17:56And one more, please. D.
17:58A vowel. I.
18:02And another, please. E.
18:05A vowel. O.
18:08And a vowel. I.
18:12And a consonant, please.
18:14Lastly, C.
18:16And kind of.
18:18And a vowel.
18:45And a vowel.
18:47And a vowel.
18:48Tom? I'll stick with a six. Andy? And a risk of seven. OK.
18:52Tom, the safer six? Heroic. And the risky seven. Will this be heroic?
19:00Quiet. Quiet.
19:03No. It isn't there, I'm afraid.
19:07And it's worked out very well for Tom Bashford.
19:10What can we add in there, Susie and Richard? Got an eight? Yes.
19:14Chloride. And you've gone there.
19:16There you go, we pre-empted it. Chloride's there. Fantastic for eight.
19:21All right, numbers playing a huge part today, as always,
19:25and Andy's in control of them. One large, please.
19:28One large. Interesting tactic. 16 behind and going for the one large.
19:33Let's see how that works. Five little ones.
19:36Three, six, six, four and seven.
19:40And a large one, 25. And the target, 239.
19:44Two, three, nine. Numbers up.
19:46One large.
19:48The target, four or five.
19:49Two, three.
19:50Two.
19:54Two, three, nine.
20:07Two, four.
20:08One, two, three.
20:11One, two, three.
20:16Two, three.
20:16And that's time we're looking for 239, Andy.
20:19239.
20:20And for you, Tom? 240.
20:22Oh, he's missed it. So, Andy, you've been all right with the one large?
20:256 minus 4 is 2.
20:28Yep.
20:28Times the 7.
20:2914.
20:31And then 6 plus 3 is 9.
20:33The second 6.
20:34Times the 25.
20:36225.
20:36And add them together.
20:37And those tactics have paid off. Well done. 239.
20:40APPLAUSE
20:42And just like that, back to within six points.
20:44So, let's get this tea-time teaser with six rounds to come after the break.
20:48It's Read Poet. Read Poet.
20:50And the read is R-double-E-D.
20:53Expelled from a country, it's what the workers in the canteen do.
20:57Expelled from a country, it's what the workers in a canteen do.
21:02MUSIC
21:16Hello again. Yes, the poor tea, but who will we be expelling from this studio in six rounds from now?
21:23I have no idea. Our champion, Andy, on 36.
21:2710 points in the last numbers round, so important.
21:30Tom, though, holding the latest challenger, 42.
21:33And it's your letters, mate.
21:34Consonant, please.
21:35Thank you, Tom.
21:37And a consonant.
21:39And a consonant.
21:40Another.
21:41W
21:42And a vowel.
21:44A
21:46And a vowel.
21:47E
21:48Another, please.
21:50I
21:52And a consonant.
21:54S
21:56And a consonant.
21:57T
21:59And a consonant, please.
22:01And lastly...
22:03S
22:03And 30 seconds.
22:06MUSIC
22:36Tom.
22:37A
22:37Tom.
22:38Andy.
22:39Risking eight.
22:39Tom, what's your word?
22:40Fastens.
22:41And for you, Andy?
22:43Fawniest.
22:44Oh, tawniest, definitely.
22:46I don't think...
22:47No, not fawny, I'm afraid.
22:50Not there.
22:51So it didn't pay off for you.
22:52Tom's very happy.
22:53He's got that lead out to 13.
22:55Was there anything beyond a seven?
22:57Well, never gamble on your fitness, which is a seven.
23:01And then we've also got...
23:02Yes, nasties.
23:04Be aware of the nasties in your food.
23:06All right, we'll focus on the positive, shall we,
23:07and just get more letters from Andy.
23:09Start with the vowel, please, Rachel.
23:11Thank you, Andy.
23:12O
23:12And another one.
23:14U
23:14And another one.
23:16E
23:16And a consonant.
23:19N
23:19And another one.
23:21P
23:23One more, please.
23:24S
23:25A vowel.
23:27A
23:29A consonant.
23:31P
23:32And a consonant, please.
23:34Lastly, L.
23:36And let's play.
24:06This temely.
24:06A consonant.
24:08Andy? Six. And for Tom?
24:10I'll try a seven. Andy? Plains.
24:12The stretch that lead even further, Tom.
24:15Nopales? Yeah, how are you spelling that?
24:17N-O-P-A-L-E-S.
24:20N-O-P-A-L-E-S, absolutely fine, yes.
24:22Those are the edible fleshy pads of a Mexican cactus.
24:25Very nice indeed. Very good.
24:27APPLAUSE
24:29The rest of us are just eating apples,
24:31but you're having something very special indeed.
24:34Can we add anything? Just one more. Oh, lovely.
24:36One more seven, yes. APOLUNE.
24:38It's a nice one. A-P-O-L-U-N-E.
24:40The point at which a spacecraft in lunar orbit
24:42is furthest from the moon. That's beautiful.
24:4536.56. 20 points.
24:47Four rounds to go. Origins of words.
24:50Susie Dent. Well, I love how some of the questions
24:53that occur to our lovely viewers are when they're doing
24:56very everyday things and they suddenly think,
24:57oh, I wonder where that comes from.
24:59And that's exactly what happened to Michael Collins from London,
25:01who was having breakfast and was eating lots of different berries.
25:06And so he was wondering, where do we get raspberry, gooseberry, strawberry from?
25:09He said, I get blackberry and blueberry.
25:11Those are a bit obvious, but what about the others?
25:13And it's a really good question.
25:15And it's quite puzzling in lots of different cases, as you will see.
25:18I'll start with raspberry.
25:20So we do know that in English,
25:23in sort of middle ages, medieval times,
25:24it was a raspis berry, which is a little bit odd.
25:28And this is where it gets interesting, because the origin of raspis is a little bit unclear.
25:32But we think it may go back to a French word, raspy, meaning to scrape.
25:38And that in turn gave us, if you have a raspy voice, it's a bit grating,
25:43it's a bit harsh and croaky.
25:44And if you think about a raspberry, it's not smooth like a cherry or a grape.
25:48It's got all these little duplets on it.
25:50So it's a little bit rough around the edges.
25:53So it may be that that bumpy texture gave us the raspis berry,
25:56and then it was shortened to raspberry.
25:59So far, so good.
26:02Then we have the gooseberry.
26:03And that has puzzled etymologists for a very long time,
26:06because we cannot see what it has to do with geese at all.
26:10But what probably happened is that in French, it's grise.
26:16And because it's quite difficult to pronounce,
26:19and we famously struggle with foreign languages,
26:23we thought grise might sound a little bit like goose.
26:26And so we put that in instead.
26:28That is probably the biggest possibility, the most plausible possibility.
26:32And we know we've done this for a very long time.
26:34We always talk about asparagus originally being sparrow grass,
26:37because we couldn't pronounce the French from which it came.
26:40So we think that's where gooseberry comes from,
26:42that it isn't actually anything to do with geese.
26:45And finally, the hardest of the lot, really, is the strawberry,
26:49because there are so many different reasons, we think,
26:51as to why strawberry came about, or at least possibilities.
26:55One is that you often scatter straw around when you're growing strawberries.
27:00You can mulch straw.
27:02Maybe it's a straw-like appearance, which would bring us back to raspberries.
27:06The honest answer is we don't really know.
27:08And for something so old, the fruits have been with us for a very long time,
27:12we can't give you a definite answer.
27:13Thanks, Susie.
27:16All from an email from a breakfast table.
27:19So whether you watch the early morning countdown,
27:21the afternoon countdown, or in your own time,
27:23the emails are 24-7.
27:26To ask Susie a question is countdown at channel4.com.
27:30Countdown at channel4.com.
27:31Use the number four, and that's also how you say hello for the first time,
27:35and then we begin the process of you being on the programme.
27:38Which is lovely. There you go.
27:40Right, four rounds to go.
27:41Will we have a new champion? Certainly not done yet.
27:4420 points is nothing in countdown land, Tom.
27:47So stay on your metal. Let's go.

28:47TEST.
28:48Tom?
28:49A six. Andy?
28:51Six. Let's tick those scores up.
28:53Looker. Looker. And for you, Andy?
28:55Same. Looker. Have a look. You be a looker.
28:57I'll give you the points. Excellent.
28:59Six points each, so six is not really interesting.
29:04Yeah, we couldn't really beat six.
29:06Groove? Groove.
29:07Nice. Like a rookie, but we couldn't get beyond that.
29:10No. All right, here we go, Andy.
29:12Last letter's your choice.
29:14Start with a consonant this time, please.
29:16Thank you, Andy. S.

29:43Last letters.
29:44A an consonant.
30:12Ah, maybe.
30:13You can say,
30:14The first one will only show this down for us.
30:14Andy? Seven. Tom? Seven.
30:18What have you got, Andy? Braised. Braised.
30:21And Tom? Braed.
30:24And braed. Can you spell that for me, Tom?
30:27B-R-A-A-I-E-D.
30:30Wow, this is fantastic.
30:32It's a word from South African English,
30:34and to brae is to grill meat over an open fire.
30:38Wonderful stuff, wonderful stuff.
30:39Anything you do now will pale in comparison.
30:42I've spent a lot of time in South Africa myself.
30:45So, obviously, know off that word as well.
30:48Oh, you do? Brilliant. Did you get it?
30:49No, I didn't.
30:52I can't admit that, for sure.
30:54So, we've got a couple of eights. Yes.
30:57A-bases. Yes. And...
30:59Sidebars. Yes, indeed.
31:01I have one with you about every minute.
31:04Right, 20 points in it.
31:0620 points still remaining.
31:09So, Tom, you can see that finish line,
31:10but as Richard Whitehead will tell you,
31:13don't you dare start celebrating until you cross it first.
31:16Let's see if you can do that.
31:17Your numbers.
31:18Too large, please, Rachel.
31:19Too large.
31:20Four little.
31:21You want the most straightforward one possible.
31:23And doesn't.
31:25Let's see.
31:25Final numbers.
31:26Nine, three, eight, four, 50, 100.

32:02Thank you,
32:04you too!
32:059-4-7, Tom.
32:07Yes, 9-4-7.
32:08And Andy?
32:09Yep, 9-4-7.
32:10You didn't want it that easy. Off you go, Tom.
32:139 multiplied by 100.
32:15900.
32:16Plus the 50 and subtract the 3.
32:18Yeah, just what you wanted.
32:20Exactly the same way.
32:21Yeah, pass it over anyway.
32:23It's all right.
32:24A little cursory nod and ten points each.
32:27APPLAUSE
32:29Well, we have a new champion, but we'll talk about that in a second.
32:31Let's get the last ten points dished out.
32:34Andy, Tom.
32:36Fingers on the buzzers.
32:38Let's reveal our Countdown Conundrum.
33:08MUSIC
33:10No luck for Andy.
33:11No luck for Tom.
33:13He's drawing a blank in the studio.
33:15Excellent.
33:16Now, you've got a little bit of a Thursday afternoon mystery.
33:18Let's reveal it.
33:19Oh!
33:20There you go.
33:21Stinker.
33:22An absolute stinker of a conundrum.
33:26But listen, Andy.
33:27I'm so glad you got the teapot, cos I think, like, you'll treasure it forever.
33:32And yesterday, you're just phenomenal performance.
33:35So I'm really pleased for that, cos I know how big a fan you are.
33:38So take it home with you.
33:39Look after it.
33:40It was the teapot that I came for.
33:41I was here 11 years ago and I've been that thirsty for a cup of tea.
33:47LAUGHTER
33:49So I'm delighted.
33:50That's what I came for and one game was always going to be enough for me.
33:54Listen, well done to you.
33:55Brilliant work.
33:56Brilliant work.
33:56And Tom Bashford, you've got that teapot.
33:58But let's see how far you can go.
34:01Keep that tennis racket away for another day at least.
34:04And we'll see you tomorrow.
34:05Well done.
34:05Thanks, Colin.
34:06Excellent.
34:06One more day for Richard Whitehead.
34:08Susie Dent, we'll see you tomorrow.
34:09See you then.
34:10And all done, Rachel.
34:11And third time's a charm.
34:12I expect Andy back in another ten years.
34:14You're wrong.
34:15Two wins.
34:16And then ten years after that, three wins.
34:18We'll keep building it up.
34:19So another challenger tomorrow who could be our series champion.
34:22That's the magic of Countdown.
34:24You just don't know what's next.
34:25But it's nothing if you're not watching along.
34:27So hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.
34:29We'll be waiting for you.
34:30You can count on us.
34:32You can contact the programme by email at countdown at channel4.com.
34:36You can also find our webpage at channel4.com forward slash countdown.
