00:20Good afternoon and welcome to the Carradine studio.
00:24It's the start of a new week and it's also the start of Fairtrade Fortnite.
00:28Very important to Fortnite. Fairtrade's a wonderful organisation, the Fairtrade Foundation.
00:34And they they indicate a better deal for food producers.
00:39So important, not only in Africa, but also in South America, in the Caribbean and so forth.
00:44And I was in the supermarket the other day, Rich.
00:46I noticed there's Fairtrade wine from South Africa, but a lot of it is bananas and coffee, things like that.
00:53And it's so important because, you know, we all like cheap food.
00:57Of course we do. But also we've got to be fair to the to the producer.
01:02Oh, yeah, I think you're exactly right.
01:03And it's all about knowing and understanding where the food comes from, doesn't it?
01:06Because you just pick it up in the supermarket and you don't really think about it until you have weeks
01:09like this.
01:10And you keep telling us and we get educated and we see the sticker and we know that the money
01:14is going to the right people.
01:15Yeah. Rachel, we've got Philip back. Now, I hope Philip has had a restful weekend, Rachel.
01:21Have you, Philip?
01:22Yeah, certainly.
01:23Yeah. Lots of sleep because we've got high hopes for you.
01:27Last Friday saw another spectacular win, another century.
01:30And your ability with the conundrums is breathtaking.
01:35Took you 0.4 of a second to spot the conundrum on Friday.
01:40I don't mean to be putting the wind up your contestant, all right, but you were fantastic.
01:45Mick Armstrong.
01:46Hello there.
01:47Retired from Newcastle.
01:49Yeah.
01:49Don't you worry about Philip Aston.
01:53You'll do great.
01:54Okay.
01:55Yeah.
01:55And you like a bit of karaoke.
01:57Yep.
01:58And you like to perform dressed up as Elvis.
02:00Yes.
02:01Brilliant.
02:02Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.
02:03If you win today, and we've got high hopes for you, Mick,
02:06we'd like you to get out there and give us an Elvis number.
02:09How would that be?
02:10I'd do it anyway.
02:12No.
02:13You've got to win before you allow it out there.
02:15Let's have a big round of applause for Mick and Philip.
02:22Well done.
02:23Well done.
02:23And over the corner, Susie, having had a peaceful weekend.
02:26And also, Alice there, Stuart, newsreader and journalist.
02:29Welcome back.
02:29Thank you very much.
02:30Welcome back.
02:32All right.
02:33Without further ado, Philip Aston, take us away on a letters game.
02:38Thank you, Nick.
02:38Hello, Rachel.

02:56A.
02:57Consonant.
02:58B.
03:00Another consonant.
03:02F.
03:02And another consonant, please.
03:04And the last one.
03:05C.
03:06And here's the countdown clock.
03:091.
03:095.
03:26And anotherustain.
03:27A học.
03:27And another notification.
03:27There's aventa.
03:27Big chance.
03:27You'll see you next time.
03:27Bye.
03:27Bye.
03:31Bye.
03:38Well, Philip?
03:39Six.
03:40A six. Mick?
03:41Just a five.
03:43And your five?
03:44A bit.
03:46Philip?
03:46Teabag?
03:47Yes.
03:48Very good.
03:49Nice countdown.
03:49I can see Alice there nodding furiously there.
03:52Because I'd hit the ceiling again on that.
03:54I mean, an interesting group of letters in the sense you've got A-C-E and you've got G-A
03:59-T-E
03:59that might have been able to add to something.
04:01But couldn't find the prefix bit of it.
04:03So, teabag, I think, was as good as we got as well.
04:06Yep.
04:06So, well done.
04:07Well done.
04:08Thanks, Alistair.
04:09Now, Mick, your first letters game.
04:12OK.
04:13Hello, Richard.
04:14Hi, Mick.
04:15Can I have a vowel, please?
04:18I.
04:19And another one, please.
04:21O.
04:22And a consonant.
04:24S.
04:26Another consonant.

04:30A.
04:32Another consonant.
04:34J.
04:36Another consonant.
04:38R.
04:40And a vowel, please.
04:42I.
04:43And another vowel.
04:46And lastly, E.
04:49Stand by.
04:50Now, we'll find out.
05:21Mick.

05:23A seven.
05:24Philip.
05:25Seven.
05:26Yes, Mick.
05:27Join us.
05:28Join us and?
05:29Noisier.
05:31Well done.
05:32And Alastair, Susie.
05:34One of those that peaks at seven, but it's quite a crowded little bit of territory there.
05:39Because joiners, yes, but you can also chuck it around and have rejoins.
05:44Yeah.
05:44That's also there.
05:45And ionise.
05:47Ionise is there, but you can also have ironise, so to use irony.
05:51Oh, that's rather nice.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Well done.
05:54So Mick on seven.
05:55Well done, Mick.
05:56Thirteen for Philip.
05:57Philip's numbers game now.
05:59Capital T, please, Rachel.
06:01Capital T.
06:02Three from the top and three a little.
06:03Thank you, Philip.
06:04And the first one of the week is ten.
06:07Ten.
06:08Four.
06:10One hundred.
06:11Seventy-five.
06:13And twenty-five.
06:14And the target, two hundred and seventy-one.
06:16Two, seven, one.
06:19Two, seven, one.
06:50Philip?
06:51I think two, seven, one.
06:52Not fully written down.
06:54Mick?
06:55No, Enya.
06:56No?
06:56Shall we stick with Philip, then?
06:58OK.
06:59Ten divided by ten is one.
07:01Yep.
07:02Seventy-five minus one is seventy-four.
07:05Seventy-four.
07:06Times four.
07:07Is two hundred and ninety-six.
07:09Minus twenty-five.
07:11Yep.
07:12Well done.
07:13Lovely.
07:13Well done, Philip.
07:15Well done.
07:19Good man.
07:20Excellent.
07:21So, Philip on twenty-three.
07:23Mick on seven as we turn to our first tea-time teaser, which is cause hoot and the clue.
07:27It would cause a bit of a hoot if she went to the shops in this.
07:31It would cause a bit of a hoot if she went to the shops in this.
07:35If she went to the shops in her housecoat.
07:59Housecoat.
08:01Now, twenty-three to seven.
08:03Mick's on seven.
08:04Mick, let's escape for you.
08:07Can I have a constant, please?
08:09Thank you, Mick.
08:10Z.
08:12And another.
08:14N.
08:15And another.
08:17D.
08:19And a vowel, please.
08:21O.
08:21Another vowel.
08:23E.
08:25Another vowel.
08:27O.
08:29And a consonant.
08:31P.
08:32Another consonant.
08:35S.
08:36And another consonant.
08:39And lastly, M.
08:41And the clock starts now.
08:43n.
08:45We'll be coming.
08:46Be quiet.
09:01Bye.
09:02Bye.
09:04Bye.
09:06Bye.
09:14Mick?
09:15A brisket, six.
09:16A six?
09:17Yeah.
09:18Seven.
09:19And a seven from Philip.
09:20Mick?
09:21Moosed.
09:23And spoon.
09:24Spoon, thank you.
09:25I love the idea of moosing about, but it's not in, I'm afraid.
09:30Moose is not there as a verb.
09:33Spoon's absolutely fine.
09:36To have two people to behave in an amorous way,
09:39or to spoon when you lie together in the sort of, you know, like spoons.
09:43That's absolutely fine for seven.
09:44You might also say he spooned two teaspoons of sugar into his coffee.
09:49You don't have to immediately go to the amorous side of things.
09:52That's true.
09:53That's in fact the primary meaning, yes.
09:56Is it?
09:57Yes.
09:58What else can we have?
09:59I feel like an interloper.
10:01You can have mopeds for six.
10:03I only mention it because I like saying mopeds, which is good.
10:05But you can have monopeds.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Monopeds, a creature gifted of one foot.
10:14Yes.
10:14Really?
10:15A monoped.
10:18Excellent.
10:19Well done.
10:19Very good.
10:20Very good.
10:2130 to 7.
10:22And Philip, your letters came.
10:24Consonant, please.
10:25Thank you, Philip.
10:26S.
10:27Another.
10:29M.
10:30And a third.
10:32T.
10:32A vowel.
10:34I.
10:35Another.
10:36E.
10:37And another.
10:38O.
10:39Consonant.
10:40R.
10:41A vowel.
10:44A.
10:44And a final consonant, please.
10:46And a final R.
10:48Stand by.
10:48A vowel.
11:02A vowel.
11:05A vowel.
11:06A vowel.
11:06A vowel.
11:06A vowel.
11:06A vowel.
11:06A vowel.
11:15A vowel.
11:17A vowel.
11:20Yes, Philip?
11:21Nine, I hope.
11:22Mick?
11:23I think I've got a nine as well.
11:26Brilliant.
11:27Yes, Philip?
11:28Amortiser.
11:30Exactly, Steve.
11:31You got it?
11:32Yeah.
11:32Show it to Philip.
11:34Amortiser.
11:35Are we good?
11:36We're not.
11:37I looked up.
11:38No.
11:38I did look it up, actually.
11:40Amortiser's absolutely fine to write off a debt, but amortiser is not in.
11:44I'm so sorry.
11:45Look at that.
11:46I shared your pain.
11:48I share Mick's pain, particularly, actually.
11:51What can we have, Susie?
11:53Well, as Susie said, you can have amortise, and the reason she was so quick to be able
11:59to say that was we actually looked at that as well, thinking it might, might work, but
12:03it's not there.
12:04There's another nice eight, which is atomiser.
12:06I think we were talking earlier about ionisation and stuff, but an atomiser for clearing the
12:13air and so on and so forth.
12:14But atomiser, I think, is very good.
12:17We're going to do 30 to 7, where we were, and it's Mick's numbers game.
12:22Mick?
12:22You can have two from the top and any other four, please.
12:25You can indeed.
12:26Thank you, Mick.
12:26Two large, four little.
12:27And this time, the four smalls are one, four, two, and ten.
12:33And the big two, 25 and 50.
12:36And the target, 454.
12:39Four, five, four.
12:40One, five, four, five, six, and the three.
12:43Two, three, four, six, and the three.
12:56Two, three.
12:58Two, three, four, six, and the four.
13:11Mick

13:34and Philip on 40
13:35as we turn to Alistair
13:37Alistair, what have you for us today?
13:39Well, actually it was something that happened on Friday
13:41when Philip used the word aileron
13:44and I think I said to you at the time
13:45it reminded me of having grown up
13:47as the son of a Royal Air Force officer
13:49and what a fantastic life that had meant
13:52and I can remember as a very, very young boy
13:55living up on what was RAF Lucas
13:58I think the Army now have it
13:59in Scotland
14:00and it was a fighter station
14:02and it's where those beautiful aircraft from the old days
14:05things like javelins
14:06and if you don't know them, Google them
14:08because they're a joy to behold
14:10and later on, lightnings
14:11that used to go hurtling up
14:12as the modern ones still do
14:14when a Russian bomber
14:16strayed into UK territorial airspace
14:19but later on
14:21he'd moved on up through the service
14:22and had got promoted to be a wing commander
14:25and he was officer commanding operations
14:27at RAF Scampton
14:28which is where the Dambuster 617 Squadron were based
14:31but in my teen years
14:32it was a Vulcan station
14:34so they had nuclear weapons
14:37ready to go
14:38at three minutes notice
14:39and one day he took me for a tour of this aircraft
14:42and it was amazing
14:43upstairs, downstairs
14:44pilot and co-pilot there
14:46engineer navigator down here
14:48Bombay and what have you
14:49and he said
14:50and over here is a little device we use
14:52for heating up cans of soup
14:54because they were up there for hours on end
14:56and hours on end
14:57and various other bits and pieces
14:58and I spotted this curious device
14:59that reminded me of one of those things
15:02I have on things like ocean liners
15:04where you flip the lid off
15:05and say
15:05full steam ahead
15:06full steam ahead
15:06and I was about to do it
15:07he said
15:08don't touch that
15:11and I thought it was another major security thing
15:13he said
15:13no no
15:14it's where we have a pee

20:13And the clue, the pie went unsold even though it was still perfectly good to eat.
20:18The pie went unsold even though it was still perfectly good to eat.
20:39Welcome back.
20:40I left with the clue, the pie went unsold even though it was still perfectly good to eat.
20:45And the answer to that is that it was unspoiled.
20:49Un-spoiled.
20:51So 56 to 41, Philip still in the lead and it's Mick's chance.

22:09Mick?
22:09Wasted with an eye.
22:11Yes.
22:12Philip?
22:13Stadium.
22:15Yes, both very good.
22:16Can we beat it, I wonder?
22:18Alistair, Susie?
22:19I don't think we can.
22:21We got wasted with the eye as well.
22:25Missed date?
22:26Mm-hmm.
22:26Missed date?
22:27Yeah.
22:28Absolutely fine, too.
22:29Put the wrong date on something.
22:31Couldn't get beyond seven, Nick.
22:32No.
22:32It'll do.
22:33Thank you very much.
22:3563 to 48.
22:36Philip, off we go.
22:38OK.
22:39Consonant, please.
22:40Thank you, Philip.

22:50Another.
22:51E.
22:52And another.
22:53U.
22:54And another.
22:56I.
22:57Consonant.
22:59S.
23:00And a final consonant, please.
23:02And a final R.
23:04Countdown.
23:05And a final R.
23:35My word.
23:36Philip.
23:37A dodgy seven.
23:39Mick.
23:39The six.
23:40And your six.
23:41Rushed.
23:42Rushed.
23:43And?
23:43Sudsia.
23:45Sudsia.
23:45Well, it's not that unlikely.
23:49Um.
23:50In fact, it's there.
23:51Yeah.
23:51Very, very good.
23:52Frothy.
23:53Sudsia.
23:54Well done indeed.
23:55Sudsia.
23:56Now.
23:57Alistair and Susie.
23:58Shires is rather nice.
23:59Yes.
24:00Up from the shires.
24:01Down from the shires.
24:02Shires of old England and the rest of it.
24:04But we cannot get beyond that number.
24:06So.
24:06Here we are in dictionary corner and we are defeated.
24:09Well done, Philip.
24:11Susie.
24:12Come.
24:12Give them a rest.
24:14Uh.
24:14We had a nice email in from Mike and Liza.
24:17Or Liza.
24:17I'm not sure which.
24:18But Lewin.
24:19Um.
24:19So thank you to them.
24:20Um.
24:20They say we're regular watchers and we're wondering the other day where going cold turkey comes from.
24:25Why turkey and not so broccoli?
24:27The most popular suggestion that you will find if you go looking for this is that it derives from, um,
24:33the combination of goosebumps and what William Burroughs called the cold burn that drug addicts suffer.
24:39Um.
24:40When they try to, um, give up their habits.
24:43It sort of is linked in with the idea that there's a cold, clammy feel to the skin really.
24:48Rather like a turkey that's been plucked or even been refrigerated.
24:51So all in all, very, very unpleasant.
24:54But, uh, there is a problem slightly with this theory and that's because, um, it ignores the fact that cold
25:00turkey was around for quite a few decades before this drug addiction sense came in.
25:05Um, so if you look to a cartoon in 1920, uh, you'll find someone saying, now tell me on the
25:11square, can I get by with this for the wedding?
25:14Don't string me.
25:15Tell me cold turkey.
25:16Uh, and another one, um, goes back earlier, still to 1910, uh, when somebody lost $5,000 cold turkey.
25:24And it's used there in the sense of losing it absolutely outright.
25:27So sort of similar sense, if you like, to the way we use it today.
25:30But why turkey?
25:32Which is Mike and Eliza's question.
25:34Uh, well, there's one theory attached to this and it's quite a nice one that goes back to a much
25:38older idiom.
25:401800s we're talking now in North America and talking turkey.
25:44And to talk turkey, you might think is a bit like gobbledygook, uh, as in talking, you know, absolute rubbish,
25:49but it's the exact opposite.
25:51It means to talk frankly and directly.
25:53And there's a tale attached to it, which involves a Native American and, um, and a white American who went
26:01hunting together and decided to divide the game.
26:04The white man was said to say, I'll take the turkey and you take the buzzard, or you take the
26:08buzzard and I'll take the turkey.
26:10Uh, so trying to trick, uh, the Native American.
26:13And the Native American looked at him apparently very sternly and said, talk turkey to me.
26:19In other words, tell me straight.
26:20And it's possible that from that story, whether or not it actually happened, the idea of talking frankly and plainly,
26:27um, then went into talking cold turkey.
26:30Uh, and then the idea that we have with drug addicts today.
26:33So to follow a course with absolute directness, um, whatever the consequences.
26:37It's a very, very convoluted story, but it might just be behind the idea of, um, giving something up and
26:44the horrible consequences that come with it.
26:46It's worth it in the end, but it's not nice doing it.
26:48Oh, very well done.
26:49Lovely.
26:5470 plays.
26:5548.
26:56And Mick, penultimate letters game for you.
27:00Another vowel, please.
27:02Thank you, Mick.

27:36BELL RINGS
28:06Well, Mick.
28:07It's a risky seven.
28:09Philip.
28:10Seven.
28:11Affirm seven.
28:12Mick.
28:12Pondent.
28:14And Philip.
28:15Odonata.
28:16Pondent is not there, unfortunately.
28:19Such a mixture of pendant and fondant, um, but not there, I'm afraid.
28:23Odonata, excellent.
28:24It's all to do with an order of insects, um, including dragonflies and damselflies.
28:29And it goes back to the Greek for tooth, believe it or not, because of their mandibles.
28:34They're very, very good.
28:35Very good.
28:36And there we go, into dental and all sorts of other things.
28:38Yes, exactly.
28:40Susie and Alistair.
28:41I feel I've had my teeth pulled upon this one.
28:44Mm-hmm.
28:44Because we, we did get it, but we did not get any further.
28:48So, 77 to 48.
28:51Philip, final letters game for you.
28:54Philip.
28:54OK.
28:55Consonant, please.
28:56Thank you, Philip.

29:16And a final S.
29:18Stand by.
29:20BELL RINGS
29:50Philip.
29:51Seven.
29:52Mick.
29:53I'll risk a seven as well.
29:55Philip.
29:56Sun-like.
29:58Now then.
29:59Relinks.
30:00What does Susie think?
30:01Um, what's yours, Philip?
30:02Sun-like.
30:03S-O-N-L-I-K-E.
30:05Like a sun.
30:06I see what you mean.
30:07Um, believe it or not, it's there.
30:09Yeah, yeah, excellent.
30:11And a relinks is also there, so yes to both.
30:13Well done, both of you.
30:15And in the corner?
30:16We got relinks.
30:18We did not get sun-like, which is brilliant.
30:21But we can, on this occasion, at last, go one better.
30:25Well done.
30:26And therefore, ignite our passions and raise the temperature with kerosene.
30:31Oh, kerosene.
30:33Perfect.
30:36Kerosene.
30:38Excellent.
30:39Susie, anything else?
30:40No, I was just looking, it goes back to the Greek for wax, because paraffin, paraffin
30:45in its solid form is wax-like.
30:46Yes, indeed.
30:47Kerosene.
30:48Brilliant.
30:4984 to 55.
30:51Mick, here we go.
30:53Final numbers game for you.
30:54Two from the top again and four from anywhere else.
30:57Two large four, little coming up for you.

32:06Yep.
32:06Nice and straight forward.
32:07Lovely.
32:08Well done.
32:11So 94 to 65 as we go into the final round.
32:15Now, fingers on buzzers.
32:18Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:24Philip?
32:25No, no, no.
32:26I've gone wrong.
32:27Sorry.
32:27Down to you.
32:28Now, take your time, Mick.

32:45Stupefied.
32:45Let's see whether you're right.
32:49Look at that.
32:50Oh, well done.
32:55Philip was crossing it.
32:56He snatched at it.
32:57Yeah.
32:57But he knew with his...
32:58Listen.
32:59I've kept him under 100.
33:00You beat Philip Aston on the conundrum.
33:03What's bad about that?
33:05Champion.
33:05Champion.
33:06It is champion.
33:07And you also kept him down under 100.
33:10I think you should get a medal for this.
33:12Definitely.
33:1375 you scored as well.
33:14It's fantastic.
33:16Philip, I'll come back to you in a minute.
33:17He's a wonderful lad.
33:18Well done.
33:19I wish I could give you a T-pop at the can't.
33:21No, it's all right.
33:21No, they finally give T-pop.
33:23It was my ambition to come on, yeah?
33:25You did it.
33:26Yeah.
33:26And you did yourself proud as well.
33:28Take this goodie bag back to Newcastle.
33:31Listen, it's fantastic.
33:32Nice to see you.
33:33No, thanks.
33:34I've really enjoyed myself.
33:35We've enjoyed having you.
33:37It's been really good.
33:37Brilliant stuff.
33:39Now, well done, Philip.
33:41Four in a row.
33:42Fantastic.
33:42But he kept you under 100.
33:44He did.
33:44You don't want to get, you know, too many of these characters.
33:47I know.
33:47Yeah.
33:48Anyway, you're halfway there and we'll see you tomorrow.
33:50Congratulations.
33:51Alistair, we won't see you tomorrow, sadly.
