00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio. It's the 1st of March. That means it is World Book Day.
00:36And as part of the day, 15 million one pound book tokens are being distributed to schools all across the
00:43country.
00:43And these can then be used to buy a book from a selected list of 10 books, books by Julian
00:50Clary, Claire Balding and so forth.
00:52It's a wonderful thing to encourage people to read. And I don't know about you, but gosh, I used to
00:57read voraciously.
00:58But I can't read as much as I used to because my poor peepers aren't as good.
01:03But I go on a tablet now. And that's one of the joys of it, of course, because you can
01:07download it in an instant.
01:09You can have 100 books on the tablet and you can alter the font size and, of course, the background
01:14light.
01:15So it helps the elderly like me.
01:18Plus, when you're reading all your dodgy novels, you don't want anyone else to know about.
01:21Well, there is that too.
01:22Pretend that you're reading something intellectually.
01:24Exactly. You don't put your, you know, your tablet in a brown paper cover.
01:30That's what I used to. There we are.
01:32But do you think it's a good idea? I'm sure we all accept that it's a brilliant idea to, you
01:37know, for kids to learn to read and enjoy reading.
01:39Yeah, it's about finding the right book for kids as well, isn't it?
01:42I've been involved with the Premier League Primary Stars, which any school that wants to apply for it gets a
01:46whole free box of books as well.
01:48And there's all things about footballs and Cressida Cowell's got How to Train Your Dragon and David O'Doherty and all
01:53kinds of different genres to find the right book for the right child.
01:57That's a lovely idea.
01:58Very nice. Yeah.
01:59Very good idea.
02:00Now, I'll tell you what would be a good idea to wish Philip Astin.
02:04Good luck today. Recent graduate from Biddeford, who is now on six wins. Fantastic. Looking for your seventh. Well, good
02:12luck to you.
02:12Thank you very much.
02:13You've been a great player here.
02:14And you're joined by Zarte Siempre, a marketing manager from Dadford in Northamptonshire, I think.
02:20It's technically Buckinghamshire, but it's right on the border.
02:22All right. And your scariest moment was performing comedy to a three-figure crowd. That's not three people, but actually.
02:29No, no.
02:30A hundred plus.
02:31Yeah, I think the biggest one I did was about 250, so.
02:35Not bad.
02:36Yeah. Not done it for a few years now, but it was great fun.
02:40Do you get a kick out of it?
02:42Yeah, absolutely. I sort of quite like things that make me feel a bit on edge.
02:47Yeah. Take a risk, why not?
02:49Absolutely.
02:50Anyway, good for you. Well, good luck to you.
02:51Thank you very much.
02:52Big round of applause for Philip and Zarte.
02:59Thank you very much.
03:01Susie. Of course, Susie's there with TV and radio presenter.
03:06Classical musician, the wonderful Mylene Clowns. Welcome back, Mylene.
03:13A wonderful young woman.
03:15Now, Philip, let's get.

04:23Yep, eight.
04:24Now, Philip.

04:27Both of you.
04:29And over in the corner, Susie, you happy with that?
04:33Very happy, yes, excellent.
04:35Mountain under the sea.
04:36Now, what have we got?
04:38Mylene?
04:38I've also got a mountain under the sea.
04:41Good.
04:42Anything else?
04:43There are a couple more eights.
04:44Tinamous, ground-dwelling tropical American birds.
04:48Look a little bit like a grouse, apparently.
04:51And if you unscramble those letters, you can also have manitoos,
04:54which are good or evil spirits viewed by North American Indian peoples.
05:01And it's eight apiece.
05:03Eight apiece, and it's Zatay.
05:06Afternoon, Rachel.

05:37You.
06:09Yes, Sate?
06:10Eight.
06:11Eight and?
06:12Eight.
06:13Sate?
06:14Probates.
06:15Now then, pastor eight.
06:18Yes, South African word.
06:20It is the residence of a minister of one of the Dutch reformed churches.
06:24Yeah, indeed.
06:28Sixteen apiece and the corner.
06:31Mylene, Susan?
06:31Probates are going for eight.
06:32We've got some sevens.
06:34Yes, riposte and boaster.
06:36Both there.
06:36Thank you, Mylene.
06:38Sixteen apiece.
06:39And, Philip, first numbers game for you.
06:41Capital T, please, Rachel.
06:43Your favourite.
06:43Thank you, Philip.
06:44Three large ones, three little ones.
06:46And the first one of the day is one.
06:48Another one.
06:49Oh, dear.
06:50Nine.
06:51Seventy-five.
06:52Fifty.
06:53And twenty-five.
06:55And the target?
06:57769.
06:59769.
07:30Well, Philip.
07:31769.
07:32And, Zate?
07:34769.
07:35Philip?
07:36OK.
07:37Fifty divided by twenty-five is two.
07:39Yep.
07:40And then, 75 plus two is 77.
07:4377.
07:44Nine plus one is ten.
07:46Times them together for 770.
07:49Lovely.
07:50Minus the other one.
07:51Perfect.
07:51769.
07:52Well done.
07:52And same way.
07:54Very nice.
07:55Well done.
07:59Well done, Zate.
08:01Both of you level pegging at 26 points apiece.
08:04As we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Glenn Fungi.
08:08And the clue?
08:09Glenn's a fun guy, but his mushrooms are starting to take over.
08:13Glenn's a fun guy, but his mushrooms are starting to take over.
08:33Welcome back.
08:34After you have a clue, Glenn's a fun guy, but his mushrooms are starting to take over.
08:39In fact, they're sort of engulfing everything.
08:43Engulfing is what we're after.
08:44So, 26 points apiece.
08:48That's quite something, actually.
08:50Zate, well done.
08:51Letters game.
08:53Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
08:54Thank you, Zate.
08:55N.
08:56And another.

09:10And another.
09:11E.
09:12And another.
09:14A.
09:16And a consonant, please.
09:19D.
09:20And a final vowel, please.
09:23And a final O.
09:25Stand by.
09:27And a vowel.
09:49So,
09:57Yes, Zotie?
09:58Seven.
09:59Seven.
09:59And, Philip?
10:00Seven.
10:01Zotie?
10:02Aneroid.
10:03And?
10:04Avoider.
10:05Both fine.
10:06Avoider.
10:06Two good players we've got here.
10:08My word.
10:09Now, in the corner, Mylene.
10:12Another seven.
10:12Invader.
10:13Invader, yes.
10:15And Susie and the Yoss?
10:16Yes, you know, seven and iron,
10:18which is a support for wood.
10:20It's like a metal stand in a fireplace.
10:22Oh, yes.
10:23You normally have two of them.
10:25You do.
10:25Normally have two, and that will give you seven.
10:28All right, 33 apiece.
10:29Philip, your letters game.
10:32Consonant, please, Rachel.
10:33Thank you, Philip.
10:34P.
10:35And another.
10:37M.
10:38And a third.
10:40N.
10:41A vowel.
10:43I.
10:44Another.
10:45A.
10:46Another.
10:47E.
10:48And another, please.
10:51A.
10:51Consonant.
10:52K.
10:53And a final vowel, please.
10:55And a final I.
10:57And here's the countdown clock.
10:59Oh, yeah.
11:01The.
11:02The.
11:04The.
11:12The.
11:19The.
11:20The.
11:30Philip.
11:31Seven.
11:32Seven.
11:33Zate?
11:33Seven.
11:34And Philip?
11:35P-I-man.
11:37And Zate?
11:38Pikeman.
11:39Pikeman, excellent in the dictionary.
11:41Philip, how are you spelling yours?
11:42P-E-A-I-M-A-N.
11:46Yes, it's another word for P-I.
11:49And a P-I is a healer or a medicine man in parts of South America.
11:56Amazing.
11:58Amazing.
12:02And a pikeman?
12:03Pikeman is a man who used to work at the turnpikes.
12:06Oh, not with a pike in battle?
12:10Possibly, both have both meanings.
12:11No, keeper of a turnpike or a soldier on with a pike, so either way.
12:15It'll do.
12:15Yeah.
12:16But well done there, Philip, for a particularly obscure one.
12:19And what else have we got, I wonder?
12:21We were with Pikeman as well.
12:23Pikeman?
12:23Yeah.
12:24Pike girls.
12:25All right.
12:2540 apiece.
12:27And Zate, numbers for you.
12:29Thanks, Nick.
12:30Could I have a backwards white hole, please?
12:322-1-2-1.
12:33You can, indeed.
12:342-1.
12:36And 2.
12:37So you wanted 2 from the top.
12:39Yeah.
12:40Right, I got there.
12:41We have 6, 2, 8, 10.
12:46And then the large ones, 25 and 75.
12:48And the target, 419.
12:514-1-9.
13:24Now then, Zate.
13:254-1-9.
13:26And Philip?
13:274-1-9, but it's not written down.
13:30Let's hear from you.
13:31Philip?
13:32OK.
13:33I did 75 times 8 is 600.
13:3975 times 8, 600.
13:4210 minus 2 is 8.
13:44Yep.
13:45Times 25.
13:48200.
13:49No, I've gone wrong, I'm afraid.
13:50Oh.
13:51Bad luck, Philip.
13:52Wow.
13:54Zate?
13:5575 times 6 is 450.
13:57It is, indeed.
13:58Take 25.
14:00Take 8.
14:02And add on 2.
14:02Perfect.
14:03Well done.
14:03419.
14:04Very well done.
14:09Well done.
14:10And for the first time in a long time, you've sprung ahead of the wonderful Philip by 10 points.
14:1650 to 40.
14:18So, let's give you both a rest as we turn to Mylene.
14:21Mylene, you started as a musician, as a toddler at the age of 4.
14:25And now...
14:26On my dad's side, there's six generations of classical musicians.
14:30Right.
14:30So, I remember just being handed mandolins, violins, just take your pick and have a go.
14:36And look what happened.
14:38And now you're turning it on your children.
14:40Well, both of my girls are obsessed with unicorns and dolphins and have no interest in showbiz.
14:47They actually both want to be marine biologists.
14:49Right.
14:49But we do have a lot of music in our household.
14:52And I thought I was done with all of my exams.
14:55Because the feeling of walking into a violin exam or a piano exam, I can't think of anything worse.
15:00All of that time that you've crammed and played.
15:03And then sometimes nerves can get the better of you or not.
15:05And I thought I was done with it.
15:06But now my daughter's taking her exam, actually in three days' time.
15:10And I'm the piano accompanist.
15:12All right.
15:13I think I'm more nervous than she is.
15:15So, I've got to go over it all...
15:16I've got to go through it all over again.
15:18And that you hope that they'll keep it up, obviously.
15:20Because so many children learn and maybe don't love it as much as your children.
15:24As soon as they can give it up, they do.
15:26I think one thing that I hear so much of, actually, is just how many people say...
15:31I used to play the piano, the recorder.
15:35Maybe not so much the recorder.
15:37But a lot of people say that they wish they'd never given it up.
15:40And I think it's a great social tool.
15:42If there's a piano in a bar, I mean, the night can go on.
15:46But also, I think it helps with your maths.
15:48Because it's quite an abstract form when you're looking at what the value of each note is
15:52or how to put them all together.
15:54All the way through to storytelling.
15:56I think it gives you so many different skills.
15:59So, it's definitely something, whether or not they go into it in a full-time profession.
16:03I mean, they're so little.
16:05But definitely something I'll encourage and try and maintain.
16:08Well, let's all wish your daughter...
16:09Good luck.
16:10Great good luck.
16:11And she's watching, I'm sure.
16:13You do very well.
16:18Mum expects.
16:19Oh, I'm more worried about what I'm going to be playing.
16:22Now then.
16:2350 to 40.
16:24Zate in the lead.
16:26Philip finding himself in a very strange place.
16:28It's your letters game.
16:29Philip.
16:30Consonant, please, Rachel.
16:31Thank you, Philip.
16:37And a final vowel, please.
16:55And a final E.
16:57Countdown.
17:28Philip.
17:29Eight.
17:30And eight.
17:30Zate.
17:31Eight not written down.
17:33What would that be, Zate?
17:35Sautéing.
17:37Yes.
17:38Two great players, these guys.
17:42They know their way around.
17:44Mylene.
17:44Susie.
17:45Sautéing seems to have taken it.
17:47Exactly that, with the accent on.
17:48We had that.
17:49Sautéing.
17:5158 to 48.
17:52Ten point difference.
17:53Zate, your letters game.
17:56Start with a vowel, please, Rachel.

18:21And a final consonant, please.
18:24And a final Z.
18:26Stand by.

18:59A seven, Philip?
19:01Seven.
19:02Now, Zate?
19:03Leotard.
19:04Two leotards here.
19:06Not too many over there, I imagine.
19:08Two more over here.
19:09You've got two as well.
19:10Four leotards.
19:12Heavens above.
19:13All right.
19:1465 to 55.
19:16Philip, your numbers game.
19:18For what could be my last pick.
19:20Six more from the bottom row, please.
19:22Six more gambling time.
19:24Thank you, Philip.
19:25It's not...
19:25It's only ten points in it.
19:26Let's go to level things up.
19:28Right.
19:28We have one, four, six, three, two, and five.
19:35All quite small.
19:35And the target, 543.
19:38Five, four, three.
20:10Philip?
20:11Um, 540, not written down.
20:14Three away.
20:15Zate?
20:16Five, four, three, possibly.
20:19Go then.
20:21Six times five is 30.
20:23Yep.
20:24Four plus two is six.
20:25I think you have it.
20:27Times them together for 180.
20:28Yep.
20:29Add the one and times by three.
20:31Very well done.
20:33Have fun.
20:33Wow.
20:34Wow.
20:39Zate siempre.
20:4175 to 55.
20:42This is, uh, remarkable.
20:44Now, it's time for our second tea time teaser, which is cured raft.
20:48And the clue, they fixed the raft, but it wasn't completely broken in the first place.
20:53They fixed the raft, but it wasn't completely broken in the first place.
21:14Welcome back.
21:15Welcome back.
21:15I left with the clue.
21:16They fixed the raft, but it wasn't completely broken in the first place.
21:19It was merely fractured.
21:22Fractured is the word we're looking for.
21:25Zate on 75.
21:27Philip on 55.
21:28Zate.
21:29Start with a vowel, please.
21:31Thank you, Zate.
21:32U.
21:33And a vowel.
21:35I.
21:35And a third.
21:37O.
21:38And a consonant, please.
21:40T.
21:41And another.
21:42L.
21:43And another.
21:45N.
21:46And another.
21:48R.
21:48And a vowel, please.
21:51E.
21:52And a final vowel, please.
21:54And a final U.
21:56Stand by.

22:31Eight and?
22:32Eight.
22:33Zate?
22:34Outliner.
22:35Yes.
22:36Same.
22:37There we go.
22:37Well done, Philip.
22:40Anything beyond Outliner or with Outliner?
22:43Nothing beyond Outliner, but there's within.
22:47Yes.
22:48At seven, there's routine.
22:50Susie?
22:51Yeah, that Outliner was our best, too.
22:53Well done.
22:53All right.
22:54So, 83 to 63.
22:56Philip, good luck with this letters game.
22:58Thank you very much.

24:02A while.
24:03Now then, Zate.
24:04Malefit.
24:06Yes.
24:08Well, Malefit, I think.
24:10It might be pronounced, but yes, excellent.
24:12A misfortune or a disadvantage.
24:14Right, that makes more sense.
24:16Malefit.
24:16Well done.
24:17Well done.
24:22Tremendous game.
24:23Ninety points now to 63.
24:26Now, in the corner.
24:28Susie's got a good one.
24:29Seven.
24:30Doesn't describe either of our contestants.
24:32Half-wit.
24:33That's for sure.
24:34Half-wit.
24:35Well done.
24:35That's it?
24:36Yes.
24:37Now then, Susie, don't go away.
24:39It's your wonderful origins of words.
24:42Well, I'm going to look at the strange story behind a proverb.
24:45And that proverb is, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
24:49In other words, beware of criticising someone if you yourself are vulnerable to exactly the same criticism.
24:55So, it makes sense, transparent sense if you excuse the pun, but there is actually an interesting story behind it.
25:03First of all, it started off with something a little bit different.
25:05It warned against throwing stones at an enemy whose head was made of glass.
25:10That's how it was in Chaucer's day.
25:12And then it crossed over to houses when the use of glass in domestic architecture was really increasing.
25:18This was around the 17th century when it really came to the fore.
25:21When the rich were afforded the luxury of fully glazed houses and windows, the poor still had to make do
25:27with no windows at all or wooden shutters, etc.
25:30But it was a real indicator of wealth if you could afford glass.
25:34And Thomas More in his Utopia wrote of a land where windows are made of glass to allow light in
25:40and the wind with it.
25:42Worth remembering that window actually goes back to vindalga, which is a very old word meaning the eye of the
25:49wind, which I always think is quite beautiful.
25:51But anyway, in Elizabethan England, glass windows were still a luxury, so much so that if you look at wheels
25:57of the time, you'll find that windows were bequeathed to heirs because glass was seen as being so valuable.
26:03So that gives you a little bit of background to the story, to the proverb, but it doesn't tell you
26:07the whole story.
26:08The reason why it began to involve glass houses probably may lie in the exploits of the Duke of Buckingham.
26:14He was a favourite and possible lover of James I, and James I called him Steeny after St Stephen, who
26:21had the face of an angel.
26:23So he was very enamoured of him.
26:25And when the Scottish-born king acceded to the throne in Britain and England in 1603, it said that London
26:33was flooded with Scotsmen.
26:34And at this time, James I didn't have a very good relationship with the Scottish nobility.
26:38He thought they were always trying to do him down, and he wanted to ingratiate himself with the English nobility.
26:43So the Duke of Buckingham, on his behalf really, mounted a campaign of harassment against all these Scots who had
26:50arrived in the capital city.
26:51And that included hiring mobs to go and throw objects at their windows at night, causing complete havoc.
26:59Unsurprisingly, the Scots retaliated, and it was completely chaos.
27:04But they went to the Duke's house, which was known as the Glass House, because it had so many windows.
27:09And they did exactly the same thing.
27:10They threw stones, anything they could find, at the windows and smashed them in the process.
27:15And it's said that when Buckingham then complained to the king, His Majesty is said to have uttered the lines,
27:21Steeny, Steeny, those who live in Glass Houses should be careful how they fling stones.
27:28Very good.
27:33Brilliant.
27:3590 plays 63.
27:36And now, Zate, it's your letters game.
