00:31Hello, everybody. It's Tuesday, the 21st of April.
00:35This is the Major League of Quiz Shows.
00:37Countdown is here. Thank you so, so much for joining us
00:41as we introduce Dictionary Corner.
00:43In a league of their own all this week is Susie Dent
00:46and the legendary Richard Whitehead,
00:48while the natural, of course, when it comes to the numbers,
00:51is our Rachel Riley.
00:53And a slew of baseball movies, they're iconic baseball movies,
00:56but I maybe left out what many people would have a number one.
01:00It was released on this day in 1989.
01:03Field of Dreams.
01:05Evan Costner.
01:06Build it and he will come.
01:10It's interesting because as not a mainstream sport worldwide,
01:16although big in a lot of countries,
01:18but it translates right at the top of sports movies.
01:21Why is that?
01:24It's a strange one, isn't it?
01:25But we love a baseball movie, Rachel.
01:28I don't know. I've seen Moneyball.
01:29Great movie.
01:30I think that's probably the only baseball movie I've seen.
01:34Because the rules are really difficult, but actually,
01:36everyone can understand, I suppose, Richard,
01:38knocking the ball out of the park or getting a strike out.
01:41Yeah.
01:42And then also all the Americana that comes with it.
01:44I think all that nostalgic Americana helps as well.
01:47Yeah, it definitely does.
01:48Everybody likes that home run moment.
01:50Yeah.
01:50That moment of success.
01:52Yeah.
01:52But I'm a massive fan of, obviously, running films,
01:55obviously, related to me.
01:56One of the best, most iconic films ever,
01:59Chariots of Fire.
02:01You were going to say that.
02:02But every big film has one of those moments,
02:07those running moments.
02:08And I'm sure you can relate to the rocky moment.
02:11It's true.
02:12The running with the community, bringing people together.
02:14And that's obviously what my sport's all about,
02:16bringing people together and having success.
02:18I think if you were going, like,
02:19which sport makes the greatest movies,
02:22baseball's definitely in the top two.
02:24Boxing, actually, Susie, might shade it, though, right?
02:27Yeah, too much for me.
02:28I would stick with baseball.
02:30Bull Durham, for me, is such a good movie.
02:32But, yeah, just two bloody-the-boxing movies.
02:35But even the new ones, like F1.
02:37Yes, that's good.
02:38It's such a great film.
02:39Yeah.
02:40It brings the emotions to the front.
02:42And I watched that recently, travelling to a race,
02:45and it definitely got me in the zone, ready to compete.
02:48Yeah, good music.
02:49Chalked up another marathon.
02:50Absolutely.
02:51Well, listen, it's a different type of sport
02:53for our champion, Ian Ennis.
02:55Got his first win, won his teapot yesterday.
02:58You're retired now, sir.
02:59You're a bank official,
03:01but you continue to punish yourself
03:03as you're a qualified referee.
03:05How long have you been refereeing football?
03:07Well, in and around Aberdeen for 35 years.
03:12Well, listen, I referee this.
03:13You're not getting any stick today.
03:15You can give me all the stick you want at any stage.
03:17Well, you're up against Hera Raza,
03:19who joins us from Heroin, London.
03:22Hera, we have a lot to talk about.
03:23Good afternoon.
03:24Good afternoon, Colin.
03:27Hera runs a cake company.
03:29Come on!
03:30A cake decorator.
03:31Tell us a bit about that.
03:32How do you not eat everything?
03:34Oh, I'm so used to it.
03:36So when I get feedback saying,
03:37oh, I loved it, it was so nice,
03:39I'm just like, I'm so used to the cake and the taste,
03:41so it's nothing special to me,
03:42but I love creating new designs and stuff.
03:45That's what, it's a passion.
03:46Well, really looking forward to today.
03:48Hera and Ian, best of luck to both of you.
03:52Let's see if you can put the cherry on top of the ice
03:54and on the cake.
03:55Ian, your letters.

05:07Nice start.
05:08Ian.

05:09Posture, Hera.
05:11Same posture.
05:11Pass it on over to Ian and we are there.

06:00Let's do it.
06:27ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
06:31Hera?
06:32A seven.
06:33An Ian?
06:34Only a five.
06:35The five is?
06:37Mines.
06:38And back-to-back sevens, what have you got?
06:40Insures.
06:41Insures.
06:42Very nice.
06:42Nice, well spotted.
06:44Insures gives our challenger an early lead.
06:46And we've only got sevens too.
06:48OK.
06:48It's great to have a fantastic sunrise.
06:50Yes, there you go.
06:51Well sold.
06:52Well sold.
06:53I like that.
06:53I want you to mime everything from now on.
06:57So we know that our challenger is hot on these letters,
07:02but what about the numbers?
07:03Ian's choosing.
07:04I'll go for three large.
07:05Three large.
07:06I like your style.
07:07And three little.
07:08We often get a mental workout with this selection.
07:10This time we have seven, two, nine.
07:14And the big one's 150, 75.
07:18But you need to find 464.
07:21Four, six, four.
07:22Numbers up.
07:24Time is great.
07:26I'd like you to read shortly.
07:44You must be worried about that.
07:45Well, first of all, you need to mud on.
07:45You take that?
07:46You.
07:51Let's see.
07:544-6-4, Ian.
07:554-6-3.
07:58Missed it by one, Hera.
07:594-6-4.
08:00Yes, once you see it, off you go.
08:02I did nine times 50, it's 4-50.
08:05Yep.
08:05Then add the seven times two.
08:07Seven times two, 14, 4-6-4, 10 points.
08:10Shake of the head from Ian.
08:12APPLAUSE
08:14Yes, the three lords, it was an embarrassment of riches there.
08:18Can be confusing, but well spotted by Hera.
08:21And the Tea Time Teaser is Love's Air.
08:23Love's Air.
08:24The birds love ticking to the air if and when released.
08:28The birds love ticking to the air if and when released.
08:39APPLAUSE
08:46Welcome back.
08:47Well, if you did get that Tea Time Teaser, I didn't.
08:50I'm lucky to have the answer written down here.
08:52A certain song is in my head.
08:54So, Volare is the song, which I'm guessing is connected to some form of flight.
09:01And is it Volarees?
09:03Yes.
09:04Flocks of birds kept in an aviary.
09:06So, there you go.
09:07There's the connection.
09:08It's all about love giving you wings, that song.
09:10Oh, but doesn't it always?
09:11Yes.
09:11Doesn't it always?
09:12Right.
09:14Fantastic stuff.
09:15Well, it's love at first sight with Hera, isn't it?
09:17What a great start.
09:1824-7 up.
09:19Long way to go, though.
09:20Let's see what happens with these letters.
09:22Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:23Thank you, Hera.
09:25D.
09:26And another.
09:28S.
09:29And a vowel, please.
09:30E.
09:31And another.
09:32O.
09:34Can I get a consonant?
09:35G.
09:37And another.
09:38R.
09:40Can I get another consonant?
09:42M.
09:43And can I get a vowel?
09:45E.
09:47And can I get one more vowel, please?
09:50And a final U.
09:53Here we go again.
10:25Hera, how many?
10:26An eight.
10:27Wow.
10:28Ian?
10:28Seven.
10:29Seven.
10:29Yes, what's the seven?
10:31Groust.
10:32And Hera?
10:33Gruesome.
10:34Superb.
10:34Well done.
10:35Well spotted.
10:38Gruesome for A.
10:39I know you had that in Dictionary Corner, but what else?
10:41Yeah, nothing else about us.
10:42No.
10:43Great old Viking word, to guru, to shudder.
10:45Top scoring word.
10:46Simple as that.
10:48Ian, you've got your work cut out for you.
10:50Let's see what happens with these letters.
10:52I'll have a consonant, please, Rachel.
10:53Thank you, Ian.
10:55N.
10:56And a vowel.
10:58I.
10:59And another consonant.
11:00T.
11:01And a vowel.
11:03E.
11:05And a consonant.
11:07S.
11:07And a vowel.
11:09A.
11:11And a consonant.
11:14T.
11:17And another consonant.
11:20Q.
11:24And another vowel, I think.
11:28And a Greek.
11:29And a final B.
11:31And half a minute.
12:03Ian.
12:04Only a five.
12:05Yeah.
12:05And Hera.
12:06Same, just a five.
12:07Five as well.
12:08We'll keep it ticking over, Ian.
12:09Tease.
12:10Hera.
12:10Exactly the same.
12:11There it is.
12:12Don't tease us.
12:13Pass it over.
12:14Excellent.
12:15Just fives there.
12:17We've got an eight.
12:19Wow.
12:19Tetanise, yeah.
12:20What's that?
12:21Tetanise is to be affected by tetanus.
12:24There you go.
12:24Yes, muscle spasms.
12:25What a brilliant eight.
12:27Tetanise is there, but five points apiece for both Ian and Hera.
12:31And, Henry, you're choosing the numbers for the first time.
12:34Can I get an inverted T?
12:35Yay.
12:36You can indeed.
12:37Colin's happy.
12:37One from the top.
12:38Love her.
12:38And five little.
12:41And they are nine, two, four, seven, four and 100.
12:47And the target to make 140.
12:50140.
12:51Numbers up.
13:22A little target of 140, Herra, did you hit it?
13:25140.
13:26Well done, and Ian?
13:27Yes, 140.
13:27Well done, both of you, Herra, off you go.
13:29Er, 4 times 9.
13:314 times 9, 36.
13:32Plus the 4.
13:3340.
13:34Plus the 100.
13:35Straightforward.
13:36Mr Rinnis?
13:37I said 7 minus 2 is 5.
13:394 plus 4 is 8.
13:42And multiply those two together for 40.
13:44And add the 100.
13:46Lovely.
13:4710 apiece.
13:48Lovely.
13:48APPLAUSE
13:51All right, it's our time to have a chat with our Dictionary Corner guest,
13:55Richard Whitehead, our Superman.
13:57And I last saw you in December, and I said, what's going on?
14:01Oh, I've just ran my 20th marathon of the year.
14:04That's right.
14:04I think the London marathon this weekend will be 107, not that I'm stalking you, but, you know,
14:11big fan.
14:12Over 100, obviously.
14:14So 100's a big number.
14:15Yeah.
14:15But last year, I ran 20 marathons all over the world.
14:20A lot of the marathons that I ran last year were in places that I competed before, maybe
14:25won world championships on the track, or maybe swam, or did other sports at these venues.
14:30And what I wanted to do is go back and support that community, but also carry on my legacy
14:35of running, marathon running, because it's not just about the actual event itself, it's
14:40about everything else that it brings.
14:42And I was lucky enough to go to some incredible cities, countries, and have some experiences
14:47creating memories that will last a lifetime.
14:50A couple that I can mention that are memorable are I went to Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls, which
14:57is so picturesque, but also you're in a natural reserve when you're running, so you're open
15:04to the elements.
15:06So as well as running with 5,000 other runners, I had baboons.
15:10Yes.
15:11There were giraffes in the morning, there were elephants on the roads joining us in the journey.
15:17And obviously when I run, I run on prosthetics.
15:20So not only do the members of the public think, oh, there's somebody here running with these
15:25prosthetics, how does that work?
15:27Imagine what the baboons were saying.
15:30And that was one thing that I took away, that not only am I creating a lasting legacy
15:35for the public and community of Africa, also the wildlife as well.
15:39Yeah.
15:40And then also finishing my 100th marathon, 21 years to the day, in New York City.
15:47Yes.
15:48Where I did my first marathon.
15:50And I crossed that finish line thinking that after my first marathon, I didn't think I'd
15:56run two.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Everyone's very different.
15:59Everyone's a big challenge.
16:00But also, it's about celebrating and evaluating that success at the end.
16:05And I definitely do that.
16:05I enjoy what I do, but I also enjoy passing on those words of wisdom to people that haven't
16:11done them before as well.
16:12Brilliant.
16:12Love it.
16:13Thank you, Richard.
16:13No, thank you.
16:15Right, let's get back to this race, because wow, what a start Herra Raza has made on 47
16:22points.
16:23We saw similar yesterday from our now champion, Ian Ennis, and we also know, don't count your
16:28chickens.
16:28Let's get more letters.
16:30Ian.
16:30Could I have a vowel, please, Rachel?
16:32Thank you, Ian.
16:33I.
16:34And another vowel.
16:35O.
16:36And another vowel.
16:38E.
16:38And a consonant.
16:40T.
16:40And another consonant.
16:42R.
16:42And a consonant.
16:44N.
16:45And a consonant.
16:46S.
16:48And another consonant.
16:50K.
16:51And a vowel, please.
16:55A final I.
16:56The 30 seconds.
16:58The.
16:58This.
17:00The 30 seconds.
17:01The.
17:04The.
17:05The.
17:19And a consonant.
17:21Do.
17:29All right, Ian.
17:30An eight.
17:31Ooh, Hera.
17:32Just a six.
17:33The sixes?
17:34Ionise.
17:35Ionise for you.
17:37You spotted an eight, Ian.
17:38Hopefully stinkier.
17:40Yes.
17:41It's in the dictionary.
17:43We had that too.
17:45We had that.
17:45Is that a top score?
17:46Yeah.
17:47Well done, well done.
17:49Under pressure.
17:50You'll be gutted if you had stinker and you didn't put the I into that.
17:55I'm going to reduce it to sinker just because we were talking about baseball earlier and that's one of the
17:58pitches.
17:59But that's the only eight?
18:00That is the only one we can find.
18:02Stinkier.
18:04Right, more letters, please.
18:05Hera, you're choosing.
18:06Consonant, please.
18:08Thank you, Hera.
18:09C.
18:10And another?
18:11R.
18:12And a vowel, please.
18:14A.
18:15And another?
18:16E.
18:17And a consonant?
18:19G.
18:20And another?
18:21L.
18:24And a vowel?
18:26I.
18:28Another consonant?
18:30T.
18:31And can I finish off with a vowel?
18:35Finish with A.
18:37Kite guide.
18:38And a vowel, please.
18:42And a vowel, please.
18:42And a vowel, please.
18:46And a vowel, please.
18:49And a vowel, please.
18:50And a vowel, please.
18:50And a vowel, please.
18:51And a vowel, please.
18:51And a vowel, please.
18:52And a vowel, please.
18:52And a vowel, please.
18:52And a vowel, please.
18:52And a vowel, please.
18:52And a vowel, please.
18:53And a vowel, please.
18:53And a vowel, please.
18:54And a vowel, please.
18:55And a vowel, please.
18:58And a vowel, please.
19:03And a vowel, please.
19:09Herra? It's a six.
19:11And Ian? Nine.
19:12He thinks he's got a max... Actually, he doesn't think.
19:15He didn't say he thinks. He's sure he has it.
19:17What's the six, Herra? Taylor.
19:19Taylor, not a Clare. That's a surprise for a cake maker.
19:22But let's have it, Ian. I maybe should have said, I think,
19:25but it's cartilage. Cartilage is all there.
19:29APPLAUSE
19:33What a terrible nine to get in London Marathon Week, by the way.
19:37LAUGHTER
19:40So there you go, that's 18 points.
19:43Goes to show how well Herra's doing,
19:45because that puts our very good champion in just a one-point lead.
19:48But what a big turnaround that was.
19:51Excellent stuff with cartilage.
19:52Yeah, so just to say, Taylor not there with the E,
19:55but it doesn't really matter at this point.
19:57Just in case anyone was wondering.
19:59And I'm guessing nothing else near that. Nothing else.
20:01All right, one point then at one.
20:03Absolute doozy of a game. Let's get back to the numbers, Ian.
20:06Make it interesting, Rachel, go for six small.
20:10Six small. I do like your style.
20:13Nothing here is a cakewalk.
20:15Let's have a challenge.
20:17Seven, three, two, four, nine and four.
20:22And the target, 886.
20:25886.
20:26Numbers up.
20:28Seema of Cinem증.
20:31Live responses.
20:37Twenty woman.
20:37That's one or two of us.
20:43All right.
20:44dated Tucker Hill.
20:47We're all ready to look for all the swell things.
20:48Here we go.
20:48One day they have a look.
20:49We're all ready to look.
20:49Yeah!
20:50THEY CONFER
20:59886...
21:00No, I've not got it, no.
21:01No, I didn't think so. Hera?
21:03No, nowhere near.
21:05Oh, my goodness me. 886, Rich.
21:08Yep, it was there.
21:10If you say 4 times 3 is 12, add 2 for 14,
21:1514 times 7 is 98,
21:1798 times 9 is 882,
21:21and you have a spare 4 for 886.
21:23Amazing. Brilliant.
21:25APPLAUSE
21:27Look at that massive ten points of your playing along at home
21:31as we get the second Tea Time teaser with still one point just in it.
21:36It's Ham Creed. Ham Creed.
21:39It sounds like a 24-hour walk, but it's a political step.
21:43It sounds like a 24-hour walk, but it's a political step.
21:49MUSIC
21:54APPLAUSE
22:02Welcome back. A very French-sounded Tea Time teaser
22:05connected to politics, Dimash.
22:07Dimash and Susie will explain all.
22:09Yes, it's a political step or initiative
22:11and it comes from the French for taking steps.
22:13You take steps to do something.
22:15Simple as that.
22:17All right, let's get back to this game.
22:18That's all that matters.
22:19We have six more steps for Ian and Hera.
22:22We have no idea who's going to be here tomorrow.
22:24One point in it, Hera, and you're choosing these letters.
22:27Can I get a consonant, please?
22:29Heguera.
22:30V.
22:31And another?
22:33D.
22:34And a vowel, please.
22:36U.
22:37And another?
22:38O.
22:39Can I get a consonant?
22:41N.
22:42And another?
22:44L.
22:46And a vowel, please.
22:48E.
22:48E.
22:49And one more?
22:51A.
22:52And then can I get a consonant?
22:55A final S.
22:57There it is, and here we go.
22:58Go, Go, Go, Go!
22:59Go, Go!
23:00Go, Go, Go!
23:00Go, Go!
23:29Hara? Just a six.
23:31Ian? Only a five.
23:32The five is? Sound.
23:34Sound. For you, what's the sound of this six?
23:37Valued. Valued? Yep, very nice.
23:39Yes, well done indeed. And look at that, the lead switches back.
23:42Hara's got a five-point lead. Awesome.
23:45All right, Richard Whitehead, what did you make of those nine letters?
23:47Yes, we had a seven, unloved, and we had an eight.
23:52Yeah, unsolved. Oh, thank goodness.
23:54I didn't want to finish on unloved.
23:57Yeah, unsolved. Much better, thank you.
24:00All right, back to it then.
24:01Let's see where the next twister turn is coming from. Ian?
24:05Good, I have a consonant, Rachel.
24:07Thank you, Ian. L.
24:08And a vowel.
24:10E.
24:11And a consonant.
24:13T.
24:14And a vowel.
24:16U.
24:17And a consonant.
24:19D.
24:20And a vowel.
24:22O.
24:24And a consonant.
24:26H.
24:26Another consonant.
24:29W.
24:32And a final consonant.
24:35Final R.
24:36And start the clock.
24:37T.
24:38Everything.
24:58No.
25:04Right.
25:05Well,
25:08Ian. I think I've got a seven.
25:10Hera. Seven. Let's hear it, Ian.
25:13Thrower. Let's hear it, Hera. Throde.
25:16Throde and thrower.
25:18OK, so there's no throde because it's through, unfortunately,
25:22and we've only got one R for thrower.
25:25Oh! Yes.
25:27So I have to rule out both, I'm afraid.
25:30So both were foul throws? Yes.
25:33What caught me a lie, then? We had a seven, didn't we?
25:35Yes. Hurtled. Hurtled.
25:38You hurtle towards the finish, don't you?
25:40Right. See, I'm just so confused now with hurdling.
25:43And, of course, hurtled. Yeah, hurtled.
25:46There you go.
25:47All right, so it's as you were on the scores.
25:50Five points in it, four rounds to go, and origins of words.
25:54Hard to top yesterday. Let's find out.
25:56Aw. Well, this one comes from Irene Nelson in Birkenhead,
26:00who's wondering about being left in the lurch,
26:02which neither of our contestants are today, and I will explain,
26:06because this comes from a very old game,
26:10and particularly a dice game, which was called lurch, we think, in French.
26:15And it was a little bit like backgammon.
26:18So it described the game, but it also described a position in the game
26:21where one player fell so behind in the scoring
26:25that it was going to be impossible for them to catch up.
26:28So they were in the lurch.
26:30In other words, they were in a position where, you know,
26:32they'd been abandoned pretty much.
26:34And it's from there that we get the idea of being left in the lurch,
26:37and sort of, you know, it's hopeless.
26:38It's a hopeless situation.
26:40And it was Shakespeare, really, who, as so often,
26:43propelled it into general usage.
26:44So he mentions it in 1596.
26:48He has characters who are left in the lurch.
26:50And then it migrated from dice from the table to, as I say,
26:54any situation where you're just in difficulty.
26:57And it's a really nice one because it's one of many words
27:00that have come to us from games.
27:02So another dice game gave us hazard.
27:06And hazard was a game where the rules were so random
27:09and so arbitrary, you didn't really know what was going on,
27:12but it was called that.
27:14And, of course, chess, another game,
27:16has given us so many words in English.
27:18So every meaning of check, believe it or not,
27:20goes back to chess and the idea of checkmate,
27:23which, of course, means the king is dead,
27:25from the cheque tablecloth to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
27:28who counted his money on a cheque tablecloth,
27:31to stopping the king's progress so we check the progress,
27:34and so on.
27:35So games have been really important in the evolution of English.
27:37Yeah, absolutely.
27:38Thank you very much.
27:41And just like we talk about,
27:42we always underestimate the youth of this world,
27:45but just like Vinyl made such a huge comeback,
27:48board games are massive now.
27:51Shops opening where you can go in and have community games.
27:54We have one in the village near us.
27:56And also just, you know, any major store now you go into,
27:59so you've got walls full of these, you know.
28:01Yeah, it's brilliant.
28:02Anyway.
28:03All right.
28:04Five points in at four rounds to go.
28:06Let's get back to it.
28:08Hera, look so, so close to that teapot.
28:11Off you go.
28:11Can I get a consonant, please?
28:13Thank you, Hera.
28:14P.
28:15And another.
28:17H.
28:18And a vowel, please.
28:20I.
28:21And another.
28:22O.
28:23And a consonant.
28:25T.
28:26And another.
28:27R.
28:28Then can I get a vowel?
28:30A.
28:31And one more vowel.
28:34O.
28:37And a consonant.
28:39O.
28:40And a final L.
28:41O.
28:41Good luck.
28:42Amen.
28:55Amen.
29:12önem,
29:13Hera?
29:13Er, just a six.
29:15And Ayn?
29:16Six as well.
29:17Yes.
29:18I bet you were both thinking you were going to lose points here,
29:20but it was really tricky.
29:21Hera?
29:22Patrol.
29:23And for you, Ayn?
29:24Portal.
29:25OK, so, so close.
29:26Portal and patrol.
29:28And this was tricky.
29:30It was.
29:30It was, yeah.
29:31Yes.
29:32We were both struggling around that six, yeah, portal as well, yeah.
29:35That's it?
29:36Yeah.
29:36We can't even get to seven.
29:37All right, very, very good indeed.
29:38Under pressure.
29:39Both Ayn, by the way.
29:40He's a new champion.
29:41So, the pressure's there as well, as with Hera.
29:44Three rounds to go.
29:46Final letters, Ian.
29:48At least you get to choose these.
29:49A consonant, please, Rachel.
29:51Thank you, Ian.
29:52G.
29:53And a vowel.
29:56I.
29:57And a consonant.
29:58F.
30:00And another consonant.
30:03N.
30:04And a vowel.
30:06E.
30:08And another vowel.
30:09A.
30:11And a consonant.
30:13T.
30:16Another consonant.
30:18X.
30:19And another consonant.
30:23Final.
30:24W.
30:25Last letters.
30:25I.
30:26I.
30:28I.
30:32But.
30:34I.
30:35They.
30:51I.
30:52I.
30:54I.
30:55I.
30:55I.
30:56That's time in...
30:58Six.
30:59Herra.
31:00Seven.
31:00In.
31:01Waxing.
31:02Waxing.
31:03And we'll be waxing lyrical about this if it's in the dictionary.
31:06Wafting.
31:06Yes.
31:07Wafting.
31:07Very good.
31:09We didn't need that.
31:11Come on, Susie.
31:12Wafting the air.
31:13Let's waft with a clap.
31:18That makes a gap to 12.
31:19Of course, it could still be a sting in this countdown till,
31:22but anything else to add?
31:23Yeah, no.
31:24So, fixate a six and then the same.
31:27So, well done as a seven.
31:28Absolutely brilliant.
31:29Yes, OK, 12 points in it.
31:32So, if Herra can just match in with the numbers,
31:35there will be no crucial countdown conundrum
31:37and our challenger will become champion.
31:39But it's been that type of game, hasn't it?
31:42Herra's been excellent.
31:44Let's see what happens.
31:45We need your decision.
31:47Can I get two large for some more?
31:49You want as simple as possible to see over the line.
31:52Let's see if we can find it.
31:54Final numbers.
31:55Six, two, three, one.
32:00125.
32:02And the final target.
32:031-5-1.
32:051-5-1.
32:06Numbers up.
32:072-5-1.
32:092-6.
32:142-5-1.
32:152-6-1.
32:184-1.
32:181-5-1.
32:294-7-1.
32:301-5-2.
32:313-5-1.
32:321-5-2.
32:342-6.
32:342-5-1.
32:354-7.
32:36So, I think.
32:381-5-1, Hera?
32:391-5-1. Yeah. Ian?
32:411-5-1. Yes, my goodness, Hera.
32:43That's exactly what you wanted.
32:45You can have your cake and eat it right now.
32:47So, I did 25 times 2 plus 100 plus the 1.
32:51Just what the doctor ordered. Same way.
32:53Yeah, exactly the same. Of course, yeah.
32:56Ten points each.
32:58APPLAUSE
32:59So, this isn't crucial, it's more the icing on the cake.
33:03Fingers on the buzzers, please.
33:04Ian and Hera, it's time to reveal our Tuesday afternoon countdown conundrum.
33:20Ian?
33:21Is it stallingly?
33:23Is it stallingly?
33:24No, Hera, rest her time to you.
33:27Go on.
33:28Is it lastingly?
33:29Is it? Yes!
33:32APPLAUSE
33:34Brilliant, brilliant work.
33:35Ian, I mean, it was such a contest yesterday.
33:38That was, you know, cartilage, I thought, was going to hamstring Hera,
33:43but it didn't work out that way.
33:44But, I mean, you must be so proud of that.
33:46Yeah, I mean, I came on, I didn't expect to maybe win at all, probably.
33:50And the teapot is great.
33:52It's just fantastic.
33:54Right in the window of the house in Aberdeen.
33:55Happy days.
33:56And well done to yourself.
33:58It was well won today.
33:59Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
34:00Enjoyed it.
34:01Well done.
34:01Hera, I know we'll talk about it tomorrow because you'll be back.
34:04It's a big countdown family, by the way.
34:07Big countdown family.
34:08And we'll get into that tomorrow when you're here.
34:10But congratulations, you're a countdown champion.
34:13Well done.
34:16And that is us done for today.
34:20Richard Whitehead, Susie Dent, enjoy your reading.
34:23We'll see you back here tomorrow.
34:24Will do.
34:24And you, Rach, have a really good one.
34:26See you tomorrow.
34:26What a Tuesday afternoon we've had.
34:28We can't wait for a midweek countdown.
34:30Same time, same place.
34:31We'll see you then.
34:32You can count on us.
34:34You can contact the programme by email at countdown at channel4.com.
34:39You can also find our webpage at channel4.com forward slash countdown.
