00:31Hello, everyone. It's Tuesday 28th April. Thank you for tuning in. Countdown is up for the cup again and wild
00:37horses couldn't keep us away from the letters and numbers. So let's kick off with a courteous hello, of course,
00:43to our J of the D, Susie Dent. Let's say amen to the Reverend Kate Botley, who's back with us
00:50and making sure we never fall foul of the numbers. Well, nearly never. It's Rachel Riley. How are you today?
00:55Good. How are you? Yes, really, really good. We're going back to this day in 1923, which was not the
01:00first FA Cup final, but the first FA Cup final at Wembley, which Bolton beat West Ham, I think.
01:07And the reason why I say that, it's famous because 200,000 people turned up and it was chaos and
01:13a white horse called Billy pushed them all back. And it's known as the white horse final.
01:19It was also the first final that was on the radio. So it's when the FA Cup sort of became
01:24a national, iconic thing to this very day, I think anyway.
01:29But I think we think underdogs. If I say underdogs, go. I think of when Wigan beat Man City. Yeah.
01:35Ben Watson scored the winner that day.
01:36I think that's right up there with the greatest, just because of the gap there is, isn't there now, even
01:41if you're in the same division.
01:43Do you remember Wimbledon in the 80s beating Liverpool? The crazy gang, Susie. What stage of the FA Cup was
01:49that? Was that the final? That was the final, yeah. Amazing.
01:52Dave Besson saved the first penalty ever in an FA Cup final. Obviously not ever in the history of football.
01:57That would be strange.
01:59And it's weird because they actually finished 12th in the league that year. They were really good, that Wimbledon side,
02:04but they just got promoted.
02:05And I think it was because Liverpool were seen as, well, I'll give you the John Matson line, one of
02:10the greatest bits of commentary of all time.
02:12He said, the crazy gang have beaten the culture club. Even though I'm a Liverpool fan, let's give Wimbledon their
02:19flowers, of course.
02:20All right. Listen, our match-up today is absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure there is an underdog.
02:25Tom Bashford, three wins. Survived by the skin of your teeth. Scored an injury time with that crucial count.
02:34Hey, let's shout out the family because we've talked about your work and the chess and all that. We haven't
02:38done that yet.
02:39Who's cheering you on at home? At home's my wife, Toby, and our children, Theo and Tiwa.
02:43Oh, beautiful. Well, listen, if anyone's cheering on our challenger, Sue Lesser, from home, then I think they might be
02:52breaking a few laws because home is Armenia.
02:55Not originally, I have to say. You're from Liverpool, but living over there now and over here for a countdown.
03:01Of course. Came all the way over just to see you, Colin.
03:04Yes, I love it. What has you in Armenia?
03:06So, I'm a headteacher of an international primary school.
03:10Fantastic. Fantastic. And so, do the kids in your class, because of your love of countdown, do they know about
03:17countdown?
03:17That's how it started. I was substituting the teacher for year six and I had ten minutes to kill before
03:23playtime.
03:24And I asked them if they knew what countdown was. Of course, they didn't.
03:28So, we played a first game, a numbers game. And since then, they play it every single day.
03:33They asked me for more and more challenges. I have to go and play against them sometimes as well.
03:39And it was actually last year's class that forced me to apply to come on the show.
03:44Oh, that's sensational. Excellent. Rachel, do you want to say a quick hello to Sue in Russian?
03:49Здравствуйте и добро пожаловать в студию.
03:51I echo that. Let's get on with it. Sue and Tom. Best of luck.
03:57Tom, you've got to pick our first letters.
03:59Good afternoon, Rachel. Afternoon, Tom.
04:00A consonant, please. Start today with L.
04:04And another consonant.
04:06T. And another.
04:10S. And a vowel.
04:12A. And a consonant.
04:16P. And a vowel.
04:19O. And a vowel.
04:22U.
04:23U. Another vowel.
04:27E.
04:28And a consonant, please.
04:30A final N.
04:32At home and in the studio, let's play Kind Dime.
04:34Dime.à
05:05Tom. An eight. An eight. What a start, Sue.
05:08Yes, possibly an eight. Brilliant. Tom. Lapstone.
05:12Lapstone. What about yourself, Sue? Unplates. Unplates.
05:17Unplate is not there. You can unplate, but not unplate.
05:22Nothing lost, though, really, because we already knew Tom had the eight.
05:25So, certainly, that's the right tactics. Well done for that.
05:27And can we add anything? Yeah, there's another eight in there as well.
05:31There's auto pens. Auto pens, yes.
05:34Yes, nice. And I liked polenta.
05:37Yes. I thought that was lovely. We love polenta.
05:38Yeah, yeah. Sue, off you go. Your letters.
05:41Okay. Hello, Rachel. Hi, Sue.
05:43Hi. Could I have a consonant?
05:45Start with F. And a vowel?
05:48A. And a consonant?
05:51R. And a consonant?
05:54M. And a vowel?
05:57E. And a consonant?
06:00C. And a vowel?
06:04A. Consonant?
06:07T. And a final vowel, please.
06:09A final?
06:10I.
06:12Here we go.
06:12T. And a vowel.
06:14T. And a vowel.
06:43And that's time, Sue.
06:45Just a six.
06:46And for you, Tom?
06:47A six as well.
06:47Yes, we'll get rid of that word, just, Sue.
06:49What have we got?
06:50Camera.
06:51Camera.
06:51And for you, Tom?
06:52Camera as well.
06:53Pass it all over there.
06:54A couple of cameras.
06:56Can you flash us anything else, Kit?
06:58No, there's not really much else.
06:59We got a metric, but it feels like there should be more there, right?
07:04Definitely did.
07:05We were an N away from Armenia,
07:07which would have been a nice way to welcome Sue officially,
07:10but there you go.
07:11Tom, let's get our first numbers of the day.
07:13Four from the top, please.
07:14Your favourite.
07:15Four of the big ones, two of the little ones.
07:18First numbers of the day are two, two, 75, 100, 50 and 25.
07:26And the target, 498.
07:29498.
07:30Numbers up.
08:02Four, nine, eight.
08:03Tom, 498.
08:05Yes.
08:05And Sue?
08:06498.
08:07Lovely.
08:07Look how happy.
08:08First numbers round.
08:10Sue's like, yes, farewell.
08:11Off you go, Tom.
08:12OK, so 50 plus 75 is 125.
08:16Yep.
08:17Divided by 25 gives you five.
08:19It does.
08:20Multiplied by 100.
08:22500.
08:23Subtract two.
08:25Lovely.
08:25498.
08:26And for you, Sue?
08:28Slightly differently.
08:29So I added up all of the four big numbers.
08:31So 100 plus 50 plus 25 plus 75.
08:37250.
08:38Yeah.
08:38Times by two.
08:39500.
08:40And then minus the other two.
08:41Yeah.
08:42This was quite friendly.
08:43Quite a few ways for this one.
08:44Well done.
08:44Yay.
08:47Lovely start again with today's show as we get our first tea time teaser.
08:51Nothing to do with football lists, but Prem Dish.
08:53Prem Dish.
08:55Went to catch seafood to make a premium dish.
08:58Went to catch seafood to make a premium dish.
09:16Welcome back, everyone.
09:17Prem Dish became shrimp.
09:19I said it wasn't connected to football, but going to test your football knowledge.
09:23It's quite close to home for you.
09:24Well, I'm from Southend.
09:26My mum and I both work at the Southend United.
09:28From my knowledge, we've only played Manchester United-Southend once.
09:31It was an FA Cup upset.
09:33Southend, I want to say they won 1-0 with a Freddie Eastwood goal,
09:37something like that.
09:38But we definitely lost as a Man United fan.
09:40And, well, you had your loyalties stretched there,
09:45but it's because of the shrimpers.
09:46Yeah.
09:46Yay.
09:47Brilliant.
09:47All ties together.
09:49Lovely.
09:49As we get back to the letters, and Sue, you're going to choose these.
09:51Could I have a consonant, please?
09:53Thank you, Sue.
09:55N.
09:56And a vowel.
09:57E.
09:58And a consonant.
10:01L.
10:02And a vowel.
10:03A.
10:04And a consonant.
10:06N.
10:07And a vowel.
10:09I.
10:10And a consonant.
10:12G.
10:13And another consonant.
10:14R.
10:15And a final consonant, please.
10:17A final W.
10:19And let's play.
10:20And let's play.
10:51That's time.
10:52Sue.
10:52I have a seven.
10:54OK.
10:54And Tom.
10:55An eight.
10:56An eight.
10:57OK.
10:57For you, Sue.
10:59Railing.
11:00And for you, Tom.
11:01Learning.
11:02Learning, of course.
11:03And I think Sue might be learning something here as well.
11:07Yeah, I need two I's, but I think Sue realised that, yes, for railing.
11:10But learning, excellent for eight.
11:11And that was as good as it got for us.
11:12Still waiting her first maximum of the week.
11:14But the week is young as we get more letters from Tom.
11:17A vowel, please, Rachel.
11:18Thank you, Tom.
11:19A.
11:20And a vowel.
11:21U.
11:22And another.
11:23I.
11:24And a consonant, please.
11:26P.
11:27And another.
11:28R.
11:29And another.
11:31D.
11:32And another.
11:34X.
11:35And a vowel.
11:37E.
11:38And a final vowel, please.
11:40And a final O.
11:42In half a minute.
11:43To be.
11:58Here is a note.
12:01Help us.
12:01To be.
12:01To be.
12:01To be.
12:03To be.
12:14All right, Tom.
12:15Six.
12:15Sue.
12:16Six.
12:17Six as well.
12:18All right, Tom.
12:19Poured.
12:20Poured.
12:21And for you, Sue?
12:22Dopia.
12:23And dopier, as we head to Dictionary Corner.
12:26Yeah, we've got radio for five, proud for five,
12:30but diaper as well.
12:32So that's as good as we could do.
12:34And diaper.
12:35All right.
12:35Well, listen, we should move on from that.
12:37It was a bit of a stinker, just like that diaper.
12:39And we'll get more numbers now from Sue.
12:41Could I have two large and the rest small, please?
12:44You can indeed, two from the top row this time.
12:47And four not.
12:49And your small numbers, nine, one, four, and nine.
12:53And the larger than 25 and 100.
12:56And the target, 253.
12:59Two five three, numbers up.
13:01Two four, most of theKAI And that's a number that is on the list of the district,
13:09array and the whole.
13:10Maybe 21 in the city.
13:11One, two, I'm to-
13:11Could you have one or two, and you'll be gone into the city?
13:24I'll get one, two, and I'll get anybody out of the country.
13:29You'll get one of the three of them.
13:29One, two, three, three, four.
13:312, 5, 3, Sue.
13:33Mm, 2, 5, 4.
13:35Yeah. Tom?
13:36The same, 2, 5, 4.
13:372, 5, 4. I'm hoping it's impossible.
13:40What a tricky one. Sue?
13:42So I did 9 plus 1...
13:449 plus 1, 10.
13:46Times by 25.
13:48Mm-hm. 250 plus 4.
13:51Want to wait?
13:52Tom?
13:53My way as well.
13:53Yeah. All right.
13:56One of those ones, you just would have assumed
13:58it was going to take us all five seconds,
14:00but 2, 5, 3?
14:01You'll have to leave it with me.
14:03That makes me feel so much better.
14:06And it's a good time, and of course,
14:07because we're going to head to Dictionary Corner
14:08for our unpredictable afternoon chats
14:12with the Reverend Kate Botley, what we took...
14:15By the way, before we do that,
14:17we aren't coordinating our outfits.
14:19That's two days in a row.
14:21Please don't put any pressure on me for tomorrow, will you?
14:24Let's just say we get a hat-trick.
14:25The purple and yellow that I know you've got planned for tomorrow
14:27really does not suit my complexion.
14:31What are we talking about today?
14:32Well, I'm no fashion designer, of course, thank goodness.
14:35And I have done some weird jobs in my time.
14:38I worked in a shop once.
14:40I bet you've done some strange jobs, have you?
14:42You're asking the wrong person, ask the other two.
14:44You've done some strange jobs, Rachel.
14:47I once didn't get a job removing staples out of documents,
14:50which is how I ended up working at South United that summer.
14:52Oh, my goodness.
14:53I was a grave digger. There you go.
14:54Oh, were you? Oh, goodness, I wish I'd known.
14:57You probably could have undercut some of the people
14:59that I have to pay for.
15:02I'm still available.
15:04Vickering is a weird job.
15:05This is a bit of a strange job.
15:06I've also worked in a sausage factory.
15:08That was a bit of an odd one.
15:09Shops, that kind of thing.
15:11I've been a teacher.
15:13So, Sue, if you need any supply teachers coming in,
15:15I'm very happy to do that.
15:16Hold on a second, Kate.
15:17You can't go from grave digger to sausage factory and teacher.
15:20That's a weird job.
15:22Yeah, I mean, I'll turn me on to anything.
15:23Me, I'm a Swiss army knife of a woman
15:25is what I like to think of myself as.
15:27But I think one of the weirdest jobs I did
15:29was I was in charge of pastoral care
15:32in a vocational college.
15:34So it was plumbers, plasterers, builders,
15:36car mechanics, that kind of thing.
15:38And they were always looking for people to practice on.
15:40So my car, you know, the oil was changed
15:43almost like every other day, you know.
15:46And the plasters and stuff were always looking
15:48for somewhere to practice.
15:49But the best people were the beauty therapists.
15:52They were...
15:53So my nails were always perfect.
15:55My hair always looked immaculate.
15:57All that sort of stuff.
15:58But the best day of the year was when they brought in
16:00someone from their family to practice on.
16:03And so Keely's nanan turned up one afternoon
16:06with two carrier bags and a pack-a-mac like this.
16:08And she was going for a full makeover.
16:11When she came out, she was just...
16:12Keely had spent all afternoon with her nan
16:15doing a makeover on her, making her look absolutely stunning.
16:18So her hair and make-up and nails, all that kind of thing.
16:21And I went over to Keely's nanan.
16:23I said, oh, you must be so proud of what Keely's achieved today
16:26because you look gorgeous.
16:27And she went, yeah, she's done such a lovely job,
16:30but I had to draw the line at waxing.
16:35Absolutely brilliant.
16:37I won't, because these two are sick of hearing my story
16:39about when I get waxed.
16:40I'm going to just leave that alone.
16:42And let's just say I didn't last the full waxing.
16:45No, we don't want to go there.
16:47Let's just say it was hairy.
16:49We're going to move on.
16:51Thank you very much, Kate.
16:54Good news, because I want to say it 253, Rich.
16:58Yes, I was trying to find nine times 28 plus one,
17:01but nine minus one is eight.
17:0325 minus eight is 17.
17:0617 times the second nine is 153.
17:09And then you can add on the 100 for 253.
17:13Yes, brilliant.
17:16Well, just a reminder of our scores.
17:18Our champion, Tom, is on 45.
17:20Our challenger, Sue, who's joining us from Armenia,
17:23is on 29.
17:24Just 16 points in it.
17:26And just is the right word.
17:28See yesterday's show for evidence of that.
17:30Tom, you're picking these letters.
17:31Let's start with a vowel, please.
17:33Thank you, Tom.
17:34E.
17:35And a consonant.
17:37T.
17:37And a vowel.
17:40O.
17:41And another vowel.
17:43E.
17:45And a consonant.
17:46S.
17:48And a consonant.
17:49B.
17:51Another one, please.
17:52N.
17:54And another, please.
17:56L.
17:57And a consonant.
18:00Lastly, N.
18:01And start the clock.
18:13T.
18:33Tom.
18:34A seven.
18:34Seven for you.
18:35Well done.
18:36Sue.
18:36Five.
18:37Yeah, difficult round there, Sue.
18:38What have you got?
18:40Stone.
18:40Yes, and for you, Tom?
18:42Bonnets.
18:43Bonnets.
18:43There you go.
18:44Bonnets.
18:45Lovely bonnets.
18:45Yeah, nice word.
18:46So bonnet picks up points.
18:48Gives you a little bit more of a cushion.
18:50What have you got there, Rev?
18:52Enobles for eight.
18:53Very nice.
18:53I can't take credit for that one.
18:55Sorry.
18:56OK, I'll take credit then.
18:57Yeah, you do it.
18:57Cheers.
18:58I'll have that one.
18:58I did great there.
19:00Let's get more letters.
19:01Sue, you're up.
19:02Consonant, please, Rachel.
19:03Thank you, Sue.
19:04F.
19:05And a vowel.
19:06A.
19:07And a consonant.
19:09S.
19:10And a vowel.
19:12I.
19:13And a consonant.
19:15T.
19:16And a consonant.
19:18H.
19:19And a vowel.
19:21A.
19:22And a consonant.
19:24T.
19:25And a final vowel, please.
19:27And a final I.
19:29And a vowel.
19:30And a vowel.
19:49T instrumental.
20:01Another tricky one here for us, Sue.
20:03Yeah, just a five.
20:04Yeah, Tom?
20:05A six.
20:06Well done, he's on form today, Sue.
20:08Not much you can do about it.
20:09What's your five?
20:10Shift.
20:11Yeah, that's why I had two and put the bigger shift in.
20:14Faiths.
20:15Faiths.
20:16Very nice.
20:16Look me straight in the eye, Kate.
20:18Did you get it?
20:19I was close.
20:21I've got faith.
20:22Oh, you've got to have faith.
20:23You've got to have faith.
20:24Someone once said that, I just didn't quite get the S on the end in time.
20:29Love it.
20:30But Susie just pulled it out of the bag in the last minute.
20:33Go on, you have it.
20:34Go on, you tell him.
20:35No, it's just a seven.
20:36Fattish.
20:36Oh.
20:37Fattish.
20:37It's a bit odd.
20:39Fattish worms is the example here.
20:41Oh, yeah.
20:42Fattish and cuddly.
20:43Like plump and cuddly.
20:44Yes.
20:44Yeah, okay.
20:45Why are you looking at me?
20:4758, 29.
20:48My goodness, look at that.
20:49Back to the numbers already.
20:51The last round was fun and games.
20:53I mean, oh, Tom's going to make it probably difficult.
20:55Off you go.
20:56Three large this time, please.
20:57Dialing it down.
20:58There's three from the top, three little.
21:00Doesn't make it any easier often.
21:02The three small ones, eight, seven and two.
21:05And the big ones, 25, 50 and 100.
21:09And the target this time, 901.
21:12901, numbers up.
21:13And the big ones, maybe 10.
21:449-0-1 with three large. Tom?
21:47Just 900. 900, one away. Sue?
21:509-0-2.
21:52That's often the case, isn't it? One the other way, so Tom first.
21:552 plus 7. 2 plus 7 is 9.
21:58Multiply by 100.
22:00For seven whole points. And Sue?
22:03Very similar. 7 plus 2 is 9, times by 100,
22:08and then 50 over 25 is 2. Add it on.
22:12Like that. You got to one away, and you thought,
22:14no, I'm going to go one the other way.
22:16And that still gets you seven points.
22:18Oh, I love your style, Sue. I wish I could give you more.
22:20But seven points each, and...
22:23It's unexpected, tricky rounds.
22:26Well, three large can have its moment.
22:28This was impossible, so one away is best you could have done.
22:30Well done. Excellent, well done.
22:32APPLAUSE
22:33All right, 65-36.
22:36Six rounds to go as we get this tea-time teaser,
22:38which is use belly. Use belly.
22:42It wasn't Oliver's dog.
22:44Actually, it was Oliver's dog.
22:46It wasn't Oliver's dog.
22:48Actually, it was Oliver's dog.
23:06Hello again, the Countdown Studio.
23:09We've all got a collective headache trying to work this one out.
23:12So, it wasn't Oliver's dog, actually it was Oliver's dog.
23:16Bullseye is the name of the dog, and I think Rachel's nailed it.
23:20Go ahead.
23:20All right, in Oliver Twist...
23:22The film.
23:23Bill Sykes, his dog is called Bullseye,
23:26so it's not Oliver Twist's dog, but Bill Sykes was played by Oliver Reed.
23:29That's it.
23:30So, we couldn't have just had the clue,
23:32stay out of the black and in the red,
23:33and then we wouldn't have had to have this conversation at all.
23:36Right, six rounds to go.
23:38Sue, keep the faith.
23:40Let's go. Nine letters from you.
23:42Can I have a consonant, please?
23:43Thank you, Sue.

24:43Time's up, Sue. Seven. Seven for you. Brilliant. Tom. Seven as well.
24:48Yes. What have you got there, Sue? Diluter. A diluter.
24:52Well, I'm a diluter. I love my cordial, but I'm not sure if it's in the dictionary.
24:55We'll find out. Tom. Erudite. An erudite.
24:58Ooh, very posh. Diluter in the dictionary, all fine. Yeah, no problem there.
25:03Excellent stuff. What else can we throw in?
25:05Well, we've got guilt, of course, which is what sometimes people feel,
25:09but we could extend it to guilted. More letters now. Tom, you're up again.

25:54MUSIC PLAYS
26:10Tom. Seven.
26:12Sue. Seven.
26:14Yes. Come on, Tom.
26:15Storage.
26:16No problem, Sue.
26:18Storage.
26:19Yes.
26:20There you go. Plenty of room for everybody.
26:22How did you get on the dictionary corner?
26:23Oh, well, I got greats for six, but we also love tow rags as well.
26:30Isn't that nice?
26:30Is that acceptable?
26:31I mean, it's not as good as you snake mackerel.
26:34But I think we use tow rag as the type of thing you say,
26:38kind of quite lovingly, their nephew or something.
26:39You know, tow rag.
26:41Yes. Be careful.
26:43It does say derogatory in the dictionary.
26:44Yes.
26:45But, yes, I agree.
26:46It's on the kind of slightly milder end of the scale.
26:49Yeah, I think we can use it quite like rapscallion or something like that.
26:52Yeah.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Surely.
26:54All right.
26:55Well, listen, that's a little limber up for you, Susie,
26:57because it's time for Origins of Words.
26:59Yes, I'm going to ask the million-dollar question, which is where does that phrase come from?
27:04And I think most of us probably would guess and would think of a programme, a quiz, a show that
27:10many of us enjoy.
27:11But actually, it started off with a very different quiz programme in the 1940s.
27:16And it was on American radio, and it was called Take It or Leave It.
27:22And it featured progressively difficult questions, so a very recognisable format.
27:27And the contestant could either take the money and run, or they could leave it and try and go on
27:31to the next question.
27:33And it started with $1 and ended, remember, this was the radio in the 1940s, with the top prize of
27:38$64.
27:39And that would be awarded if the hardest question was answered correctly.
27:43It was so successful, it was transferred over to TV.
27:46And, of course, they had to up the ante there.
27:48So it became the $64,000 question, which was a huge amount of money in those days.
27:54Really, really popular show.
27:56It became embroiled in a big scandal as to whether contestants were being fed answers.
28:00It sort of affected quite a few shows, particularly in the US at that time.
28:04But it survived the phrase, at least, those kind of disgraced origins, and continued to inflate with the times.
28:12And so today, we're simply much more likely to hear about the million-dollar question.
28:16But I, for one, did not know the history and didn't know it all began with $64 in the 1940s.
28:20There you go.
28:21Well, listen, we'll get back to our questions now on Countdown.
28:23Thank you, Dave.
28:26Four rounds to go, 79.
28:28Look at Sue, already on 50, already got the half a century up and enough road left.
28:33You could pull a maximum out and it would change everything, Sue.
28:36So let's get your letters.
28:38Can I have a consonant, please?
28:39Thank you, Sue.
28:40N.
28:41And a vowel.
28:43E.
28:44And a consonant.
28:46M.
28:46And a vowel.
28:48O.
28:49And a vowel.
28:51Found him.
28:52A.
28:52And a consonant.
28:55K.
28:56And another one.
28:58S.
28:59And a vowel.
29:01O.
29:02And a final consonant, please.
29:04Final G.
29:0630 seconds.
29:10wszystkie.
29:35To the whole Weiterää.
29:36To the ruins.
29:37Sue? Seven. Tom? Six. The six is? Omegas. And for you, Sue? Smokage. Oh, it's a risk. I love it,
29:47though.
29:47Oh, it's not there, but... Yeah. You killjoy. We've might have taken the risk, but not there, Sue, sorry.
29:54OK. But Omegas gets the job done. Yes, yes. Last letter to the Greek alphabet. They're very good indeed.
30:00And all done. We couldn't do any better. There you go. Last letters for Tom. Start with a bow, please.
30:05Thank you, Tom. I. And a consonant. R. And a consonant. S. And a vowel. A. Another vowel, please. E.
30:19And another vowel. I. And a consonant. D. And another consonant. R. And a consonant, please.
30:29Lastly, M. Taxing last letters.
31:02Tom? I'll stick with a seven.
31:04Tom? And Sue? Seven. What have you got there, Tom? Married. And Sue? Married.
31:10And married. You don't have to show it. Absolutely. Seven points each in the bi-dictionary corner.
31:16There is actually marrieds. So, people who are marrieds. You could say we were young marrieds at the time.
31:23If there is a plural noun, believe it or not, that would be an eight.
31:25Can't be that many E.D.'s that you can put an S on the end.
31:29To make an noun. I think you're absolutely right. Lovely round. There you go. Over as a competition, but not
31:34as an enjoyable afternoon, let me tell you.
31:36It's worth flying in from Armenia for this. Enjoy every second, Sue. We are. It's the last numbers.
31:42Can I have two large and the rest small, please, Rachel?
31:45Thank you, Sue. Two from the top. Four, not final numbers today.
31:48Are five, eight, nine, one, and a large two, 75 and 50.
31:55And the target, 733.

32:337-3-2.
32:34Oh, missed it by one again? Mm-hm.
32:37Tom? I think I've got it.
32:39Oh, he only thinks. Let's find out.
32:41So, nine times 75.
32:429, 75, 675.
32:44Plus the 50. 7-2-5.
32:47And plus the 8.
32:48You know you had that. Well done. 7-3-3.
32:51And with that, our champion Tom chalks up a second century. Well done.
32:56Yeah, 102 plays 57 and still 10 points worth grabbing.
33:02You don't need to tell Sue. Fingers on the buzzer already.
33:06Tom joins her and we reveal our countdown conundrum.
33:15Tom? Lessening. Yeah, let's have a look.
33:19And it is.
33:22There you go. So close yesterday.
33:25Came back with a statement win today, didn't he?
33:28With 112. Halfway to becoming our sixth octo champ of this series.
33:33With time running out quite quickly.
33:35Well done, Tom. Halfway there. We'll see you tomorrow.
33:38And Sue, we are so delighted that you would come from Armenia to be on the programme.
33:42We don't take that lightly, do we? No.

34:00We have to pay for Cape Botley.
34:02We'll see you both tomorrow.
34:04Yes.
34:04And thank you to Sue for a beautiful blanket with the Armenian alphabet on it.
34:07So I'm very chuffed with that. Thank you.
34:09You're welcome.
34:09I got sweets.
