00:12Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:14I don't know whether you've noticed, but there seems to be an awful lot of inspirational quotes
00:18being bandied around on social media these days,
00:22but some have been rather amusingly, Rachel, misattributed.
00:26But it's not all down to people.
00:28Some institutions, the mighty U.S. Postal Service,
00:34and they issued a stamp, actually, of the Postal Service,
00:37with an image of Maya Angelou on the stamp,
00:42and the quote,
00:42A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it's got a song.
00:47Great quote, but not hers.
00:50Have you picked any out of the amusement?
00:53Yeah, I thought Oscar Wilde said,
00:54Be yourself, everybody else is taken.
00:57That wasn't him.
00:58If you Google it, there's about 300 million websites that think it was Oscar Wilde.
01:02It's a lovely...
01:02And then the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results,
01:07wasn't Einstein.
01:08That's one that's always attributed to him.
01:10Do they say who it should be attributed to?
01:13It probably does, but I can't quite remember that.
01:15I can only remember the misattributed one.
01:16No, quite.
01:17It's fun, isn't it?
01:18But the quotes, I mean, the Oxford Dictionary of Quotation is fantastic.
01:22And do you know about, I don't know, 20% of it is down to Shakespeare.
01:26It's amazing, in all his plays and poems and so on, it's what have you,
01:31how many have lasted and are still being quoted.
01:34Fantastic.
01:35Now, you know that we've got an extraordinary young man back with us.
01:39It's Philip Aston from Biddeford.
01:41Four magnificent wins.
01:43You've played brilliantly.
01:44The last game, all the others, I think, you were kicking in over 100.
01:48Yeah.
01:48And then you had a little bit of, I suppose, tension.
01:54Yeah.
01:55And you didn't quite make the 100.
01:56Well, good luck to you today.
01:58Yeah, thank you.
01:58Even if you gain no further, you'll be an exceptional player and remembered for a long time.
02:03Thank you so much.
02:04How old are you, Philip, if I may ask?
02:0619.
02:0619.
02:07You're a great guy, a great young man.
02:09You're joined by Derek Matthews, retired software developer from Lytham St. Anne's.
02:14Welcome, Derek.
02:16And you're a dancer and you play Melodian for a few groups of Morish dancers.
02:21First of all, a Melodian.
02:23It's a squeeze box.
02:25Melodian's a squeeze box.
02:26It's a bit like an accordion, except it has buttons down the side rather than a keyboard.
02:30Okay.
02:30It plays a different note to go in.
02:32And is that a sort of an essential part of a Morish dancing troupe?
02:36It's very popular amongst Morish dancing.
02:38All right.
02:39And a history of Morish dancing goes back a long way?
02:42Nobody really knows how far back it goes, but yes, it certainly goes a long way back.
02:45A long, long way.
02:46Extraordinary.
02:47Well, good luck to you both.
02:48Good luck to Derek and Philip.
02:50Big round of applause for these two brave contestants.
02:55And over in the corner, Susie's there, as is.
02:58And I love this.
02:59Mylene Klass, you're extraordinary.
03:01And in no particular order, you're a musician, singer, model, TV presenter, businesswoman,
03:07DJ and mum.
03:08It's a fantastic collection of...
03:09They don't give us that list, but they've been very kind.
03:11Well, I think it's true.
03:13You're very welcome.
03:15In Dictionary Corner, anyway.
03:16Thank you very much.
03:16Well done.
03:19Now, Philip, off we go.
03:22It's a letters game, as you well know.
03:24Thank you, Nick.

06:26Susie, anything else?
06:27No, that was as good as it got.

07:45time.
07:46And the clue, he has to shout a lot of drivel all the time because he's this.
07:51He has to shout a lot of drivel all the time because he's this.
08:12Welcome back.
08:12I left with the clue.
08:13So, he has to shout a lot of drivel all the time because he's this.
08:16Because he's what?
08:17Because he's the mouthiest.
08:20Very aggressive.
08:22Mouthiest.

09:41What would that be, Philip?
09:43Stumpier.
09:44Stumpier.
09:44Derek?
09:45I've also got Stumpier.
09:46Nice.
09:47Well done.
09:49Very good.
09:53Well good.
09:54Very good.
09:54Mylene and Susie?
09:56Stumpier over here as well.
09:57Do you want Stumpier?
09:57Yes.
09:58And almost nothing else.
09:59That's it?
10:00Four Stumpies?
10:02Extraordinary.

10:32Here's the countdown clock.
10:34.
10:35What if you want to talk?
10:58Well,
10:58let's go.
11:05Philip.
11:06I'm going to try a nine.
11:07Good man.
11:08Now then.
11:09Seven.
11:10And your seven?
11:11Virgin.
11:12Philip.
11:13I've extended it to virginal.
11:15And you'd be right, it's in the dictionary.
11:17Very, very good.
11:18Well done.
11:24Excellent.
11:26Now, what else have we got there?
11:28Mylene, Susie?
11:29You got a good one, didn't you, Susie?
11:31Well, I've got ovaries for seven.
11:34But virginal, yes, you might even have got there before us, I think, Philip.
11:37Brilliant for nine.
11:38Is our friend Aileron in there somewhere?
11:41Ailerons as well.
11:42Very good.
11:42I'll give you an eight.
11:44Excellent.
11:44Very good, chaps.
11:4648 to 25.
11:48And Derek, your numbers game.
11:50Try six more numbers, please.
11:52And your Derek gambling time.
11:53Six little ones.
11:54Good decision.
11:56Right, for this round, they are five, nine, ten, eight, four, and three.
12:04And the target, 747.
12:07747.
12:08747.
12:08747.
12:20847.
12:36847.
12:39Derek?
12:41746.
12:42746, Philip?
12:43747.
12:45Right.
12:46Off we go.
12:479 times 8 times 10 is 720.
12:50Yep.
12:515 plus 4 is 9.
12:53It's another 9, yep.
12:55Times 3 is 27 to add on.
12:57Lovely.
12:57Well done.
12:58Very, very good.
12:59Well done.
13:02Well done, Philip.
13:03So it's 58 to 25.
13:05As we turn to Mylene.
13:07Classic FM, 25 years running and you've got your own show.
13:11I've been with them for 11 years now, so I've had my own show with Classic for 11 years,
13:15which is a dream come true for me growing up looking for a radio station that played classical music.
13:21But to celebrate our 25 years, we were invited to Dumfries House,
13:26where Prince Charles and Camilla were holding a party for us.
13:30And I was requested to play the harp.
13:33So far, so good.
13:34But to travel from London to Scotland with my harp didn't seem like a great idea.
13:39My harp is 120 years old.
13:40She's like a little old lady that sits in the corner.
13:42So I borrowed a harp and I got to Dumfries House.
13:46And it's a harpist's worst nightmare.
13:48There was no tuner.
13:49So I spent the rest of the day trying to find a pair of pliers until someone at the local
13:54conservatoire appeared and gave me a tuner.
13:57And just as we were about to start the rehearsal, one of my strings went.
14:01So we had to then try and locate a harpist who could then provide strings.
14:06We did.
14:07Tuned the harp up.
14:09And I would say from the moment that Prince Charles walked in, followed by Camilla to take his seat, the
14:15string went again.
14:16No.
14:17Just as we were about to go live to the nation.
14:20And I played the piece all around a missing C string, which is possibly my worst nightmare.
14:26I'm sure, Derek, as a musician, you'll understand that if one of your keys gets stuck, it's just a hideous
14:31nightmare.
14:32But we got through it.
14:33And what an amazing experience to play the harp in the tapestry room for the Prince of Wales.
14:40It's in the depths of the night when you have a nightmare.
14:44And that's the sort of nightmare that springs up, isn't it?
14:47You're charging around looking for a string, looking for pliers.
14:50They're coming.
14:51The doors are open.
14:52The doors open.
14:53The room fell silent.
14:53I'm supposed to play.
14:55And the string went doing.
14:56It was horrible.
14:57But you carried it off.
14:58That's quite something.
14:59It was a really lovely thing to be able to do.
15:02And, I mean, to say he was sitting as close as you are to me, he was nearly playing the
15:07harp with me.
15:08And then you dragged that naughty harp back to London.
15:10No, I left the harp there.
15:11It wasn't mine.
15:12I don't know what became of it.
15:14All right.
15:14It's probably on a pyre now.
15:15Well, you're a brave, a brave musician.
15:17Big round of applause now for Mylene.
15:23What a nightmare.
15:24But you carried it off.
15:25Of course you did.
15:26Of course you did.
15:27All right.
15:28So, Philip on 58, Derek 25, and it's Philip's letters again.
15:33Consonant, please, Rachel.
15:34Thank you, Philip.

16:08Bye-bye.
16:10Bye-bye.
16:11Bye-bye.
16:25Bye-bye.
16:33Yes, Philip.
16:34Try an eight.
16:35An eight, Derek.
16:36Six.
16:37And that's six.
16:38Retain.
16:40Philip.
16:41I've made it up, I think.
16:42Rabatine.
16:44How are you spelling it?
16:45R-A-B-A-T-I-N-E.
16:48Erm, not there, I'm afraid, Philip.
16:52OK.
16:52Sorry.
16:54Don't worry, Susie's not letting me have mine either.
16:56What was it?
16:58Britain.
16:59Capital B.
17:01Sorry.
17:03Susie, Meany, what have you got?
17:05I have inertia.
17:07Inertia.
17:08It's fair for seven.
17:08Not something you could ever be accused of.
17:10Anything else?
17:11Barnet for six.
17:13Barnet, fair.
17:1458 to 31.
17:16Derek on 31.
17:17Derek, your letters game.
17:19Could I have a consonant, please?
17:20Thank you, Derek.
17:21H.
17:22And a vowel.

17:45N.
17:46And a final consonant.
17:49Standby.
17:50And a final P.
17:52Standby.
17:54We'll be back.
17:54A.
18:21Bye.
18:23What did you make of that, Derek?
18:25A six.
18:26A six, Philip?
18:27Six.
18:29Derek, Chappell, and Alcove.
18:32Very nice, yes.
18:33Very good.
18:34Very neat.
18:36Now, Mylene and Susie, what have you...
18:39I got Alcove as well, but Susie's got a great one.
18:44Planche.
18:44If you're a gymnast, you might know this one.
18:46Planche is French for plank.
18:48And it's when you're on the parallel bars,
18:51or you can be on the floor as well,
18:52but it's when the body's held parallel to the ground.
18:55OK.
18:56A planche.
18:56That will give you a seven.
18:58Thank you very much.
18:5964 to 37.
19:00And now, Philip, your numbers game.
19:03Capital T again, please, Rachel.
19:04Capital T again.
19:05Thank you, Philip.

19:07And these three little ones are one, four, another four,
19:12and then a large.

19:58Yes, Philip?
19:59I hope this is right.
20:004 plus 1 is 5.
20:01Yep.

23:54you. Whenう of my life.
23:54well Philip seven a seven Derek seven Philip limited and Derek same word very
24:03nice neither of them are at all limited actually now Mylene and Susie oh I'm I
24:12don't have anything what is your pal god Susie tiddlier if you're tiddly you're
24:19slightly drunk slightly tipsy and you can be tiddlier than the next person tiddlier
24:24why thank you 81 to 49 and it's Susie we turn to now for her wonderful origins of
24:32words what have you for us today Susie well I'm going around some flowers today
24:38and it was prompted by Charlotte Littlefair from Newcastle upon Tyne so she's a keen
24:43gardener and she says please could you shed some light on the origins of common
24:47flower names I once stumbled across the French for dandelion peace on Lee and
24:51was reminded of the old wives tale that they make people wet the bed and it's
24:55true they are diuretics she says dandelion sounds like don Lily in the bed is there
24:59a connection and sadly not it's cut from don the Leon a lion's tooth because the
25:05the leaves of the dandelion are shaped a little bit like a lion's tooth at least
25:10that's what they thought in the Middle Ages and flowers themselves an anthology
25:14was originally a bouquet of flowers so I'm going to give you a bit of an anthology of
25:18names of flowers very quickly Adonis was a Greek youth who was so handsome that even
25:25Aphrodite who's the goddess of love fell madly in love with him and he was killed in a boar
25:29hunt she was so stricken with grief that the gods of the lower world allowed him to come
25:36up and share part of the year each year with her and from his blood from Adonis's blood
25:41sprang an anemone which is Greek for wind which is a very beautiful story and I think I've told
25:46before the story of hyacinthus who was loved by Apollo but killed accidentally by discus and from
25:52his blood Apollo caused the hyacinth to spring each year so two beautiful myths that lie behind two
25:59flyer names and the other extreme cowslip old English this time very unromantic it means cow slime or dung
26:07because the cowslip grows especially where well in pastures apologies for that one the fox glove
26:13is quite a nice one used for heart disease and but the blossoms look a little bit like the empty
26:18fingers of a glove and the fox might be a reference to folk fairy folks it was believed that these
26:26were
26:26the gloves of fairies which is quite sweet and iris named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow
26:31marigold named after the Virgin Mary and the color gold and the botanical name of marigold I should just
26:38say calendula that comes from the Roman calends the first of the month so named because like a little
26:43calendar they bloom each month which is quite pretty and finally pansy which Charlotte also mentioned in
26:49her email which is very pretty a poetic mind once fancy that the dainty flower had a thoughtful
26:54pensive face it goes back to the French ponce meaning thought and Ophelia of course famously
27:00said that she said rosemary for remembrance pansies for thought so beautiful beautiful stories like
27:06behind so many things in our garden there are hundreds hundreds more but I hope I've satisfied
27:10some of Charlotte's questions well done thank you
27:16I'm sure she'll be delighted I'm sure she'll be delighted now then Derek let us go a consonant please
