FunTranscript
00:30Good afternoon all.
00:32Welcome to Countdown today.
00:33Lovely to have you.
00:35Over there, look, see, our friend Susie F. Dent, lexicographer.
00:40Beside her all week, the presenter Ranveer Singh.
00:44There you are again.
00:45And our final stop, just right in front of Cecil, Rachel A. Riley.
00:51And a haiku to all of you, because all of us...
00:55That's what that was.
00:55There was four haikus to start the show, because we celebrated this last year.
01:00It was so much fun.
01:02Haiku Poetry Day.
01:03And we all...
01:04Do you remember you all made haikus up about each other?
01:06They were all very insulting and offensive.
01:09So we've all had a challenge this year to come up with a haiku about Countdown, the show.
01:15So a little bit of pressure, really.
01:17Do you want to go first, Rach?
01:17Go on, then.
01:18The clock tick-tocks down, Susie rifles through the words, Colin Witter's on.
01:24Yay!
01:24There you go.
01:25There you go.
01:26Technically, it was all about us again.
01:28We've got a Countdown.
01:29Come on.
01:30What about you, Sus?
01:33Rejoice in a world where the clock is our master, but time will stand still.
01:38Oh, look at that.
01:40Very nice.
01:41Well, you're always saying it's time out from the busyness of the day and things.
01:44I think that's true.
01:44Yes, indeed.
01:45It is indeed.
01:45Afternoon Company, for sure.
01:47So mine's this.
01:49Whiteley first always.
01:52Carol Cornflakes company.
01:55Sentiment for nine.
01:57Oh, I love that last line.
02:00That's brilliant.
02:00Sentiment for nine.
02:01Let me just check.
02:02Yes, sentiment's nine.
02:03That's nice.
02:04Very nice.
02:05What do you...
02:05Tell you what, we're all right at this.
02:07I feel quite moved.
02:08A little tear.
02:09A little tear there.
02:10So there you go.
02:11Right, what a big day it is for Ian Kinsella,
02:14who has seven wins in the bag.
02:17And what is such a high standard,
02:19we have a number one seed in Luke Selway.
02:22008 is his nickname.
02:23He scored a massive 913 points,
02:26and we thought he's going to walk the series.
02:28In comes Daniel Face.
02:30He gets 854 points.
02:32We think game on.
02:33So, Ian, you've scored 726 so far.
02:37So you need to score today 128.
02:40Just one more than your highest score.
02:42You'll become the number two seed.
02:45So that is...
02:46That's a heck of a...
02:47A heck of achievement if you do it.
02:50First of all, you've just got to beat a very able challenger.
02:53Gareth Griffiths joins us from Shrewsbury.
02:56I pronounce it Shrewsbury.
02:57Are you Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury man?
02:58I am a Shrewsbury man, I'm afraid, Colin.
03:00With all due respect, I'm going to stick with Shrewsbury.
03:02That's fair enough.
03:04And you're a bit of an action man.
03:05I mean, I don't...
03:06I can't even do all the list of activities that you do.
03:09Run me through the things you like to do of a month.
03:12Ah, sorry, I'm big into target sports.
03:14I've got archery, target shooting.
03:16Yes.
03:16I also do taekwondo.
03:18Right.
03:19I recently started pickleball as well,
03:21which is my current thing.
03:22Why not?
03:23Yeah.
03:24But I hear you're taking flying lessons as well.
03:27Yeah, very slowly.
03:28Right.
03:29Yeah, I think I'm on hour number four at the moment,
03:32but that's over the course of about 18 months.
03:33How many hours do you have to be up with an instructor
03:35before they go, OK, take the wheel?
03:39Well, actually, on the first lesson,
03:40they let me just fly it myself, kind of thing,
03:43but obviously with their own tuition alongside.
03:46And you were telling me that was a commercial airline as well.
03:49I can't believe they do that.
03:50Oh, yeah, 737, that's fine.
03:52Right, Gigi, best of luck to you.
03:54We're at the races, up against Ian.
03:56Good luck to both of you.
03:57APPLAUSE
03:59OK, Ian, the last time for now.
04:02Let's get the letters.
04:03How are you, Rachel?
04:04Hi, Ian.
04:04Could you have a consonant, please?
04:06You can indeed.
04:06Start today with C.
04:08And again.
04:09T.
04:10And another one.
04:12W.
04:13Vowel.

04:22T.
04:23And a consonant.
04:25H.
04:28And a consonant, please.
04:30Final, N.
04:31At home and in the studio.
04:33Let's play Countdown.
04:35MUSIC PLAYS
05:04In six...
05:06And Gareth? Just a six for me as well.
05:09Off you go, Ian. Twitch. And for you, Gareth?
05:11Whiten. Whiten and Twitch. Nice.
05:14Nice. So, listen, sixes, a little bit of an opening here,
05:18maybe, the upstage in the opening round?
05:20Would have been nice, but no, we had techno.
05:22Yeah. That's all kind of music.
05:24Hello.
05:25That's all in your six, anyway.
05:27Yeah, townie, lots of sixes.
05:29There you go, so both of you, as good as we can see,
05:31let's go again, Gareth.
05:32Hi, Rachel, could I get a consonant, please?
05:34Thank you, Gareth.

06:11Let's do it.
06:11It sounds like,
06:13you know,

06:15And finally...
06:40Doesn't' very calm,
06:43Gareth? Just a six again.
06:44And Ian? Seven. Six for Gareth? Penile.
06:48Seven for Ian? Implore. Implore!
06:51Very nice. Yeah, no worries. No worries at all.
06:54Can we match it? Nay, go further?
06:57Well, we had Pioneer for seven, didn't we, as well,
06:59but we also had an eight, Epimeron.
07:02Yes. E-P-I-M-E-R-O-N.
07:05And in insects, this is the posterior part of the thoracic segment,
07:10so the thorax, in other words.
07:13So a very specific part of an insect.
07:15Indeed it is. Very hard to find, indeed, I find, anyway.
07:19Let's get our first numbers Friday afternoon.
07:22Mr One Large is back. Here we go. One large, please, Rachel.
07:26I should have guessed One Large, Ian. Five little coming up.
07:30Let's see if it's easier or a challenge somewhere in between.
07:33We have ten, four, one, seven, seven and 50.
07:38And the first target today, 436.
07:41Four, three, six. Numbers up.
07:42Everything is super exciting.
08:12So you're prepared for this video.
08:13436, Ian? 436.
08:15And for you, Gareth?
08:16No, I didn't manage to get anything written down.
08:18The curse of the first numbers round, yes.
08:21Ian, off you go.
08:2210-1 is 9. Yep.
08:24Times 50.
08:27450.
08:27And take off to two sevens. Lovely.
08:30Well done, 436. Yes.
08:32APPLAUSE
08:33So let's get this tea-time teaser, Friday afternoon,
08:36and we're talking about Dots Ant, Dots Ant,
08:40just the one T in dots.
08:41Second thoughts about Mr Laurel?
08:43It's really obvious.
08:45Second thoughts about Mr Laurel?
08:47It's really obvious.
08:49MUSIC
08:56APPLAUSE
09:04Welcome back, everyone.
09:06Hopefully this tea-time teaser wasn't another fine mess for you.
09:09A reference, of course, to Laurel is Stan Laurel,
09:12and what's obvious is Stand Out,
09:14which Ian has been on Countdown now for seven shows
09:17and counting into this eight.
09:18And a really good start as he tries to become an octo-chump.
09:21Gareth's going to try and stop him already off the mark
09:23in choosing these letters.
09:24Can I get a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:26Thank you, Gareth.
09:27S.
09:28And a vowel, please.
09:29O.
09:31And another vowel.
09:32A.
09:34A consonant.
09:35C.
09:37Another consonant.
09:38T.
09:40Vowel, please.
09:42I.
09:44A consonant.
09:45S.
09:47Another vowel.
09:50O.
09:51And a final consonant, please.
09:53Final P.
09:54And here we go again.
09:56S.
09:56S.
09:57S.
09:57S.
09:58S.
10:25Gareth.
10:28Seven. Yes, some for you, Ian. Six.
10:30Really, the sixes? Costs.
10:32Oh, we expect so much from them every time. Gareth, the seven.
10:36Copitas. Copitas, Susie. Very nice.
10:38Slim stemmed glasses, they narrow slightly towards the top
10:41and usually used for sherry. All right, excellent stuff.
10:44Can we add to that? Can't beat that one. Excellent work.
10:46Look, just ten points in it. No, chickens counted here.
10:50Ian, let's get more letters. A consonant, please, Rachel.
10:53Thank you, Ian. T. And again.
10:55R. And again. G. And a vowel. E. And again. O. And again. U.
11:07And a consonant. R. And a vowel. O. And another vowel, please.
11:17And lastly, U. And half a minute.
11:20We'll see you down at the last record.
11:22We'll get back.
11:48MUSIC CONTINUES
11:51How many, Ian?
11:52I'll just stick with a six.
11:53Stick them with a six.
11:54Is Gareth going to pull off another seven here?
11:57Let's find out.
11:57It's a risky seven.
11:58But he's going to try audacious.
12:01Right, Ian, what's the six?
12:02Router.
12:03Router.
12:04What about you, Gareth?
12:05I'll put a G on the front of it for grouter.
12:07Grouter!
12:08It could definitely be a grouter.
12:09Yes, very well done.
12:12Back to within three.
12:13That's what we like to see.
12:15Anything else for me there, Ranveer?
12:16That was all we had.
12:17Yes.
12:18So well done, Gareth.
12:19Very good.
12:19Back to within three, Gareth.
12:21And on these numbers, your choice, what are you going to do?
12:23Can I just get two big ones and four small ones, please, Rachel?
12:26Two big ones, four small ones.
12:28Coming up, four small ones are seven, five, seven and ten.
12:34And the large two, 50 and 75.
12:37And the target, 644.
12:39644 numbers up.
13:12Can you give me 644, Gareth?
13:14I can't. I've had another shocker there. I can't get anywhere.
13:16Ian, what did you get? 643.
13:18643, off you go.
13:19So, 7 minus 5 is 2.
13:217 minus 5 is 2.
13:2310 minus 2 is 8.
13:24It is.
13:2575 times 8. 600.
13:28Add the 50.
13:30650.
13:30Take off to 7.
13:31Seven points.
13:33Lovely. And for 644, Rich.
13:35Well, this one's divisible by your favourite number.
13:377! 7!
13:38And you say, 10 plus 7 is 17.
13:41Plus 75 is 92.
13:43And times that by the second 7.
13:45644.
13:46There you go. Lovely.
13:50At 10 points in it, then.
13:52Ian really needed those seven points.
13:54And I wouldn't call it breathing space.
13:56But you both get a breather now.
13:58Because it's our last chat of the week with Ranveer Singh.
14:01What do you want to talk about today, or Ranveer?
14:03Well, do you know, the one thing that people always ask
14:05when you do breakfast television,
14:06or you get up at, sort of, 2am, 3am as a regular thing.
14:10It's like, you know, what's your work-life balance like?
14:12And I generally tend to say, there is none.
14:13You know, you sort of...
14:14You are very, sort of, upset by about 5pm,
14:17and you just want everyone to go away.
14:19But that is the time you've got to really kick in.
14:20But it's really interesting, because I've got older,
14:22because I've been doing breakfast telly for 13 years now,
14:25and journalists before that.
14:26But I now make really weird decisions about what I say no to,
14:32which, when I was younger, or even five years ago,
14:35I would have gone, don't be crazy.
14:36Like, why would you say no to that?
14:37And it just shows how, as you get older,
14:39you do make slightly different decisions in your career.
14:41So just very recently, I was asked...
14:45Oh, they called me up from work, and they said,
14:47would you mind flying to New York to meet Jennifer Aniston
14:51and interview her about The Morning Show,
14:53which is one of my favourite shows on Apple TV.
14:55It's about breakfast television.
14:57And within a heartbeat, I just went, no, are you all right?
15:00And I just thought, what is going on?
15:02But it was because, you know, I've got a 13-year-old son,
15:05and I just thought, well, I've got to go away the following day.
15:08So if I go away then, then I won't see him for two days.
15:10And I just... And it was a very easy decision.
15:12But it's really remarkable to me, you know, you think...
15:15..sometimes you pinch yourself about meeting Cynthia Erivo.
15:17Then the very next day, you pinch yourself going,
15:19why am I turning that down?
15:21But it's just a weird way that your career turns out.
15:23You just say no to stuff, that you have to...
15:25..you have to have priorities,
15:26especially when you work so early in the morning for so long.
15:29Obviously, being a parent changes everything,
15:31cos you value that time and, you know, being there for bedtimes
15:33and being there in the morning and all those different things,
15:35you try and get that balance right.
15:37But I also just find now, I'm approaching sort of 50 now, I'm 49,
15:42that all roads lead home, and that wasn't the case.
15:46When I was in my 20s, in my teens, all roads led out.
15:49LAUGHTER
15:49Anywhere but home.
15:51But now I find no matter what I do, before I look at the job,
15:54I'm looking at where's my road back home and can I get home?
15:57I'd rather be in my own bed at 2 in the morning.
15:59And I bet everyone watching is like this.
16:01As you get older, you go, how do I get back home?
16:04I think that's probably not a bad mindset.
16:08Yeah.
16:09I think it's just even, like, nights out, you know.
16:11Me and all my friends now, we're just like,
16:13we think we're going to go out till 2.
16:15We're not.
16:16We're home by half ten.
16:17Yeah, absolutely.
16:18Hot water bottles and having a chat on the sofa, you know.
16:21It's just...things change.
16:22Wonderful. Thank you, Raffir.
16:24APPLAUSE
16:26All right, well, Ian, the champagne has been on ice, right,
16:29to become an octo-champ.
16:30He's got a ten-point lead at the moment.
16:33Champ, your letters.
16:34A consonant, please, Rachel.
16:36Thank you, Ian.
16:37V.
16:38And again.

16:54And a consonant.

17:01Start the clock.
17:03MUSIC PLAYS
17:32That's it, Ian.
17:34Seven.
17:34Seven from you, Gareth.
17:36Just a five for me.
17:37Tricky round, the five is?
17:39Waste.
17:40And the seven?
17:40Stowage.
17:41Stowage.
17:42All there, yes, very good.
17:43Yeah, very good.
17:44Seven points for Ian.
17:45Anything else?
17:46Tangos.
17:47Yes.
17:48Lovely.
17:49A little shimmy there.
17:50We've had cherries.
17:51We've had tangos.
17:52We're definitely heading for a hangover, Anvir.
17:55Friday.
17:56It's a Friday feeling.
17:57I'm sorry to keep you.
17:58We'll let you go, sir.
17:59It's good to wind things off.
18:00I've got a sherry and a tango waiting.
18:02Come on, Gareth, hurry up.

19:07What have you got, Gareth?
19:08Gimlet.
19:09Gimlet.
19:10And for you, Ian?
19:11Amulet.
19:12An amulet.
19:12Yes.
19:13Both are absolutely fine.
19:14Gimlet is a tool used for boring.
19:17It's also a cocktail.
19:19Amulet is a talisman, yeah.
19:20And are we all done with those?
19:22No, we had an eight, actually.
19:23Yes.
19:24Come on.
19:25Megalith.
19:25Megalith, such good words.
19:27It's a stone in a prehistoric monument.
19:29Wonderful work.
19:30Wonderful work from Dictionary Corner.
19:32Stay strong until the end of Friday
19:34as we get our third numbers round of the day.
19:37But the last one Ian's picking for a while,
19:39so let's get it.
19:39One large, please, Rachel.
19:41For the road, one large, five little.
19:44Thank you, Ian.
19:45And this time we have seven, eight, nine,
19:49one, six and 100.
19:52And the target?

19:55725.
19:55Numbers up.

20:25940.
20:2510. 935.
20:267-2-5 the target, Ian. 7-2-4. Missed it by one. Gareth? I had 7-2-4 but
20:33I can't
20:33remember it. Ah, the pressure, the 30 seconds, yeah. Off you go, Ian, with your
20:39physical look. 100 times 7, Rachel. 700. And then I'm hoping plus the rest is 24.
20:479-8-1-6, yep. Yeah. This was fiddly, wasn't it? A little annoying but I could
20:55say it wasn't a problem for you. Well, if you say 100 plus 6 is 106, times by a
21:027 is 7-4-2 and then take away the 8 and the 9. Ah, brilliant, brilliant. Lesson
21:10learnt as we get this Tea Town teaser, which is some iron, some iron. Credence
21:14Clearwater saw a bad one. If you know your music, you've got it. Credence
21:19Clearwater saw a bad one.
21:36Hello again. We wish we were on on Saturdays and Sundays but we're into the last part of
21:40Countdown for this week and the Credence Clearwater reference, of course, was the bad moon rise
21:46and Susie loves that song. Now, before the sun sets, well, we have a new octo champ, an Ian
21:51Kinsaleh. He's got a 24-point lead at the moment. We've six rounds to go. Gareth, you're
21:56putting up a good fest of it so far. Let's get more letters.
21:59Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Gareth. G.
22:04Vowel. U.
22:06And another vowel. E.
22:09Consonant, please. Z.
22:13Consonant, please. R.
22:15R. Another vowel. O.
22:20Consonant, please. N.
22:23Another vowel. I.
22:27And a final consonant, please.
22:30Final D. 30 seconds.
22:3275 seconds.
22:33Oh,
22:34I remember she got a would.
22:36Keep going.
23:00Let's do it.
23:01And God Edition.
23:03Gareth? Just a six.
23:05And for you, Ian? Eight. An eight. Look, he's on fire again.
23:08Gareth? Dozing. What have you spotted?
23:12Groundy. Groundy. My goodness me.
23:14Could it be connected to sport? Could it be connected to coffee?
23:17Probably none of the above. Tennis. Absolutely.
23:20The first is correct. It's a stroke played after the ball is bounced
23:24as opposed to a volley. So, what most shots are.
23:26Do we have anything else over in the dictionary corner?
23:28Or is that the ace? That beat us, yes. Very good.
23:30Oh, good. Lovely. 58, 26 more letters, please, Ian.
23:33A consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Ian. T.
23:37And again. D. And again. N.
23:41And a vowel, please. A. And another. E. And another. I.
23:48And a consonant. L. And a vowel. A.
23:56And a vowel, please. And lastly, E. And let's play.
24:31THE END
24:33Ian, give me a number. Eight. And Gareth?
24:36Just a six for me. Do you know what I mean?
24:38I know. What have you got there, Gareth? Linted.
24:41Yeah, it's all in the detail, isn't it, here? What have you got?
24:44Dentalia. Come on, Suze.
24:46Well, no linted, unfortunately.
24:50Dentalia... Yes, the plural of dentalium.
24:53And it's another term for a tusk shell,
24:56which is a burrowing mollusk, believe it or not.
24:59Goodness me. Amazing. Sensational.
25:01APPLAUSE
25:03But... Yes, yes, there was a nine in there.
25:07Come on.
25:08Suze's prowess can leave us all feeling a little bit alienated at times.
25:12Oh, what a spot.
25:13Cos she's so clever. What a spot, well done.
25:15APPLAUSE
25:17Alienated for nine as we stay in Dictionary Corner.
25:20What a one-two punch that is. A maximum from Dent and then Origins Awards.
25:25Um, Vilhelmina Smith has asked about the expression
25:30Close But No Cigar.
25:31She said,
25:32It makes no sense to me, but then I am Dutch.
25:35Which is fair enough.
25:37So, it originated in North America.
25:40Many of my origins in recent times have, actually.
25:43And, obviously, Close But No Cigar, you've come so close,
25:46tantalisingly close to succeeding, but you haven't quite made it.
25:50And it emerged, as you probably guessed, from carnival culture in 20th century America.
25:55And it's a kind of vanished world, if you like.
25:57But if you go back to the carnival games, the fairgrounds, et cetera,
26:02you would find lots of games, as you would now,
26:05coconut fries, et cetera.
26:07Uh, and various prizes were offered.
26:10So, candies, they would call it, were offered for ones that were sort of fairly easy.
26:15Maybe the hoopless stalls.
26:17Then, um, you would get the finest prizes of all, which would be the big stuffed animals.
26:21I think those are still the ones that we all want to get.
26:23And that sets for if you really, really excel at something.
26:25The ones in the middle were the cigars.
26:28But the crucial element was, of course, you had to actually win to get the cigar.
26:33Nothing, nothing to do with coming close.
26:36So, you could knock down two bottles out of three, you would get close, but no cigars.
26:40So, you get the idea.
26:41And, uh, and then, of course, the cigars, thankfully, fell out of fashion.
26:45Uh, you know, the kind of image of it remained with us still,
26:49but the literal application didn't.
26:51So, that's it, yeah.
26:52Going back to all the carnival days, which actually,
26:54and I do this on another occasion, has given us lots and lots of phrases in English.
26:58I'd love to do that, because that's really surprised me.
27:00Um, and it's a beautiful origin, because I thought it would just be,
27:04the cigars are very much old-fashioned celebratory thing, isn't it?
27:07Yeah.
27:07You imagine the fat cat sitting around, they've closed a business deal.
27:10Hey, I have a cigar.
27:11Yeah.
27:11And you said North America.
27:12I assumed it was going to be a very sort of obvious...
27:15Yeah. ..definition, but completely wrong.
27:17So, that was brilliant.
27:18Yeah, fairgrounds.
27:19Great.
27:19Thank you so much.
27:21APPLAUSE
27:23OK, four rounds of Countdown left this week.
27:27We could be meeting two challengers on Monday,
27:30if Ian can get this over the line.
27:31Gareth, you're picking these letters.
27:33OK.

28:06Good luck.
28:08What?
28:36Do you have a drink?
28:37High syllable.
28:37Gareth? Just a five for me this time.
28:40A five there. It's late in the day, Ian.
28:42I'll stick with a six. A six there, which will steal the points.
28:45Gareth? Just snore. Snore? And for you, Ian?
28:49Learns. Yes, that'll be a six, and we're going to go further in Dictionary Corner.
28:52Yeah, just by one, we've got sevens, haven't we?
28:54We've got loanees. Yes.
28:56And we've got loners. Yeah, there you go.
28:59And that comes up quite a lot, you two.
29:00Slap on the wrists, slap on the wrists.
29:02Although we can confirm an octo-champ now, Ian, but let's save the celebrations.
29:08Three more rounds. And, Ian, let's get your letters.
29:11Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Ian.
29:13P. And again.
29:15T. And again.

30:15Yeah, what's the six?
30:16Pastel.
30:17And for you, Iain?
30:18Pulsate.
30:19Pulsate.
30:20Very nice.
30:20Nice final word for you to get.
30:2379-26 is seven as best as we have.
30:26We've got an eight.
30:27Look at this.
30:28You'd be winning today, you know, if we're keeping the scores across.
30:31We haven't said that this week, have we, with Iain's standard.
30:33But I think you might be winning today.
30:35What is it?
30:36Suitable.
30:37Suitable it is.
30:37A suitable eight as we get on to the last numbers.
30:41And, Gareth, you're going to choose them for us.
30:43Just two large and four small, please, Rachel.
30:45Two large, four small, coming up for you, Gareth.
30:48Final one of the week.
30:50Five, six, one, ten, one hundred and fifty.
30:56And the final target, 538.
30:59Five, three, eight.
31:01Last numbers.
31:01Or, four, five, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine.
31:03One hundred and five, seven, nine, nine, nine.
31:17And now, Gareth, you're gonna have a six, nine.
31:21The final target, five, six, nine, nine, ten, ten, ten.
31:21And, Gareth, you were gonna have a six, nine, ten, ten, ten.
31:32Five, three, eight, please, Gareth.
31:34Five, three, nine.
31:35Five, three, nine, one away, Ian.
31:37Same, yeah, five, three, nine.
31:38Five, three, nine as well, OK, seven points, eight.
31:40Off you go, Gareth.
31:41Six times 100 is 600.
31:43It is.
31:4550 plus six is 56.
31:4756.
31:48And then take that away from the 600 and the five.
31:51You've used the six.
31:54GASPED
31:54Missed it, Ian, off you go.
31:56100 times five.
31:58500.
31:58Plus 50.
31:59550.
32:00Take away the ten and the one.
32:02That'll do it.
32:03Well done, seven points.
32:04Well done, Rich. Big finish to the week.
32:06Five, three, eight.
32:07It was there.
32:08If you say ten divided by five is two.
32:11Take that two away from the 100 for 98.
32:1498 times six is 588.
32:17And take away the 50 for five, three, eight.
32:19Magic.
32:20APPLAUSE
32:22OK, let's get the final round out of the way.
32:26Our Gareth Griffiths with his finger on the buzzer,
32:28Ian Kinsella is going to hopefully wrap it up in style.
32:32Here's Friday's Countdown Conundrum.
32:38Gareth.
32:39Venerate.
32:39Stealing his thunder, but no rest of the time, Ian.
32:46.
33:10Wow.
33:11Time up.
33:11Nobody managed to get it.
33:14Did anyone in the studio get it?
33:15I think it's over-eaten.
33:17Over-eaten. Let's see if it is.
33:20Yes, well done.
33:23So there you go, an 86 for Ian.
33:26But first of all, Gareth, you keep flying high.
