00:31Well, good afternoon. Welcome to the Countland studio. It's Friday, the 23rd of August, and we're moving into the August
00:37bank holiday. Hooray.
00:39And down in Oxfordshire, it's already started, actually, down in Kingham, because the big festival has already started.
00:46It's started by a cheesemaker, a well-known cheesemaker, by the name of Alex James.
00:52Of course, he used to be in Blur, and he's got this festival.
00:56And it's everything really for the game. It's rather old-fashioned in many ways. Let me list off to you
01:01some of the things.
01:02We've got the tug-of-war. Oh, yes. We've got the ring-toss, skittles, egg-and-spoon race.
01:09And I think back to my childhood, and actually, what is more exciting when you're a sort of seven or
01:16eight-year-old playing tag?
01:17What outdoor or even indoor games did you play? What were your favourites?
01:22Even as an adult, I was forced to do a three-legged race through Oxford in a bikini.
01:27Oh, dear. How did it end up?
01:29I think I won. I was quite competitive. It was when I became netball captain, and we did a handover
01:34ceremony.
01:34And every year, the girls arranged some different kind of initiation.
01:37And my one was to be strapped to a guy and leg it back across college, with a beer jacket
01:43on, thankfully, because it was still March in a bikini.
01:45Yeah. We'll play it in the interval.
01:48You're in the bikini.
01:51But first of all, we've got to welcome David Lawback, a retired bank official from Morton in Wirral.
01:57Well, close call yesterday, but here he is, with four wins. Halfway there.
02:03Halfway, OK.
02:04Fantastic. Well done. You're joined by Max McCabe, economic student at Loughborough from Royal Tunbridge Wells.
02:12Rugby player.
02:13Yeah.
02:13Yeah. And a weightlifter. I can see the weightlifter coming out in you. What are you lifting?
02:20So, we compete in two lifts. So, one is the snatch.
02:23So, I lift about 80 kilos. Yeah. And in the clean and jerk, my record is 104 kilos, so.
02:29Really?
02:29Yeah. So, it's not that great a total, but it's all right for the moment. I'm always improving.
02:33Well done. Well, I'm 82 kilos, so you can lift me over your shoulders a little later.
02:38Now?
02:38How's that?
02:38Now?
02:39Not now. I don't want to get dropped, but later on, when I finish the three-legged race with the
02:46Rachel.
02:47All right, big round of applause now for Max and David.
02:50APPLAUSE
02:54And Susie, Susie is over in the corner, of course she is, with antiques expert Raj Bisram.

04:07With that, I try and write me off.

04:16We'll see you next time.
04:18Yes, David?
04:22It's an eight.
04:24Max?

04:26And your six, Max?

04:32Auditors.
04:33Excellent.
04:33Well done.
04:33Well done.
04:39And over in the corner, Raj?
04:41We had auditors.
04:42Well done.
04:43That's it.
04:44That's all I've got.
04:45Yeah.
04:45Quoters as well, actually.
04:46Do you match those two?
04:49Eight points to David.
04:50Now, Max, it's your letters game.

05:56Max?
05:57A fancier.
05:58Mm-hmm.
05:59David?
06:00Furnaces.
06:02Well done again.
06:03Well done.
06:04Well done.
06:07And from the corner, what can we expect?
06:10He's good.
06:11Furnaces.
06:12Yep.
06:12That's all we've got.
06:13Very good.
06:14And now, David, it's your numbers game.
06:16Yeah, just one large and five small again, please.
06:19Thank you, David.
06:20Good one from the top row.
06:21And five little ones.
06:23And the first numbers of the day are five, six, seven, nine, one, and 50.
06:31And the target, 682.
06:34Six, eight, two.
06:35Three, two.
07:07Yes, David?
07:08I've got 686.
07:10Four away.
07:12Max?
07:12686 as well.
07:14OK.
07:15Both written down.
07:16And David?
07:196 plus 7 plus 1 is 14.
07:2314.
07:24Times 50.
07:25700.
07:26And take away the 9 and the 5.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Well done.
07:29Four away.
07:30And Max?
07:31I did 7 plus 6 is 13.
07:35Times by 50.
07:37650.
07:38And then the 5 minus 1 for 4.
07:41Multiplied by the 9 for 36.
07:43Yeah.
07:44And you haven't used any of those.
07:45Same result.
07:46Well done.
07:46Well done.
07:47Bit of drift, though.
07:48Rachel, what do you reckon?
07:49682?
07:50A couple of ways, Nick.
07:51You could have said 50 times 7 is 350.
07:56Take away 9 for 341.
07:59And then 6 minus 5 is 1 plus 1 is 2.
08:03And times those together.
08:04There it is.
08:05Perfect.
08:07682.
08:09Lovely.
08:10All right.
08:11So Max is off the block.
08:127 points to 23.
08:15David on 23.
08:16As we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Sea of Ruin.
08:20And the clue.
08:21He's heading for ruin by getting involved with these activities.
08:25He's heading for ruin by getting involved with these activities.
08:46Welcome back.
08:47Welcome back.
08:48I left you with a clue.
08:48He's heading for ruin by getting involved with these activities.
08:52These nefarious activities.
08:55Nefarious.
08:56So 23 plays 7.
08:59Max on 7.
09:01Now it's your letters go, Max.
09:03Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:05Thank you, Max.
09:06R.
09:07And another.
09:08D.

09:26M.
09:27And a final consonant, please.
09:29And lastly, J.
09:32Stand by.
09:34And a consonant.
10:00And a consonant.
10:03And a consonant.
10:04Well, Max?
10:05Just a six.
10:07A six. And David?
10:08Seven.
10:09Max?
10:10Ridden.
10:11And jointer.
10:14A jointer.
10:15Yes, absolutely fine.
10:17And the corner?
10:18I couldn't bet into that jointer, I'm afraid.
10:22Susie?
10:23There is an eight there, which I don't think any of us would approve of.
10:27A trendoid.
10:28And a trendoid is somebody who follows fashion blindly or excessively.
10:33A trendoid.
10:34Ah, right.
10:35Trendoid.
10:39Follower of fashion.
10:40There's a song about that, I think.
10:4230 plays seven.
10:43David.
10:45Your letters came, David.
10:46Consonant, please, Rachel.
10:47Thank you, David.
10:49S.
10:50And another.
10:52T.
10:53And a vowel, please.
10:54U.
10:56And a consonant.

11:05I.
11:06And a consonant.
11:08D.
11:10And a vowel.
11:13E.
11:15And another consonant, please.
11:17And lastly, N.
11:20Stand by.
11:20And a vowel.
11:39And a vowel.
11:40And a vowel.
11:40And a vowel.
11:40And a vowel.
11:40And a vowel.
11:40and a vowel.
11:42And a vowel.
11:51David?
11:53I think an eight.
11:55And Max?
11:56An eight as well.
11:58Mm-hm, David?
11:59Outspend.
12:01Max?
12:02Pondiest.
12:04Outspend is there to spend more than somebody else.
12:07And Max is just pondiest.
12:11Somebody who's pond-like could be the pondiest person.
12:14It's not there, unfortunately.
12:16Sorry about that.
12:18Bad luck.
12:19Raj?
12:20Is it unpoised?
12:21OK?
12:21Yes, excellent.
12:22That's a really good eight.
12:23Well done.
12:24All right.
12:25Max?
12:27Your numbers game has come round.
12:30Can I have four large and two small, please?
12:32You can, indeed.
12:33Thank you, Max.
12:33Four large, two small.
12:35Gambling early.
12:36Let's have a look.
12:36The two little ones are seven and one.
12:40And then the big four.
12:41Fifty, twenty-five, seventy-five and one hundred.
12:45And the target, one hundred and thirty-four.
12:48One, three, four.
12:51Fifty, twenty-oh.
12:51And the four.
13:13We still see the bridge.
13:13Three, four.
13:15Two, three.
13:15Two people are unبي lore.
13:15Well done.
13:15trophy.
13:15Three, two.
13:16One, three things are watching this game and this.
13:19Someone, two, three, five.
13:20Well, Max?
13:221, 3, 3.
13:231, 3, 3 and David?
13:24Yeah, the same, 1, 3, 3.
13:26Max?
13:2850 plus 75.
13:3050 plus 75, 1, 2, 5.
13:32Plus the 7 and the 1.
13:33Yep, 1 away, 1, 3, 3.
13:35And David?
13:37Yeah, the 100 plus the 25, plus the 7 and 1.
13:40Lovely, same thing, yep.
13:41So, Rachel, 1, 3, 4.
13:44Yes, Nick, if you say 75 minus 1 and minus 7 is 67,
13:49and then 100 divided by 50 is 2 and times them together, 1, 3, 4.
13:54That's the way.
13:55Well done, Rachel.
13:59Spot on as ever.
14:01And now, with the score standing 45 to 14 in David's favour,
14:05we turn to Raj.
14:07You've brought something to show us.
14:09I have, Nick.
14:10I've brought some silver spoons to show you.
14:13The first one is a seal spoon, and this is about 16.90.
14:19And can you imagine?
14:20This is what you carried around with you.
14:22For a middle-class gentleman, he would have this in his pocket,
14:26and he would literally carry it around everywhere.
14:28So wherever he went, an inn or a hotel, wherever he was staying,
14:31to friends' houses, they would carry their own spoon with them.
14:34And this has got a rather large bowl.
14:37But why it's called a seal spoon is because on the end here,
14:40this is where his initials would have been.
14:43So this would have been his initials.
14:45This one's actually plain.
14:46So he hasn't actually...
14:47No one's put their initials on this.
14:48Or his family's crest as well.
14:51So literally, this would be their mark.
14:53So they would put it into some wax and put it down there.
14:57And these are really collectible now.
14:59They're quite rare.
15:00This one, for example, would be valued somewhere between £1,000 and £2,000.
15:05But one sold last week for just over £10,000.
15:08So they are becoming very valuable.
15:12The second one is an 18th-century spoon.
15:16And this is called a moat spoon.
15:19And again, moat, as soon as you'll know the word for moat,
15:23it means particles of dust.
15:25And this was actually for tea dust.
15:27This was used to...
15:29Once you poured the tea into the cup,
15:31this was used to take the tea leaves out of the cup
15:34and all the dust as well.
15:36And here, on the end here, we've got this...
15:39almost like a little arrow at the end here.
15:41And what you did was, if the teapot, the spout got blocked,
15:45this was used to clear the teapot.
15:47So quite a functional thing.
15:48And the last one is a 19th-century spoon, more up-to-date.
15:53And this came about in the middle of the 19th century.
15:58And it's called a berry spoon.
15:59And it's actually used for eating fruit.
16:02Because in the mid-19th century,
16:04fruit was much more available in this country.
16:07So these are nice little bits to collect.
16:09Lovely.
16:10You know, if you haven't got a lot of money
16:11and you want to collect silver,
16:13this is where to start.
16:14That's fun.
16:19And I didn't realise they carried their spoon with them,
16:22sort of thing.
16:23Yeah, one like this in the early days.
16:25Yep, this would be carried around with you all the time.
16:27And wherever you were, you'd get it out to you.
16:29Brilliant.
16:30Thank you very much.
16:31Now then, where are we?
16:3245 to 14.
16:33David on 45.
16:34And it's David's letters game.
16:36David.
16:37Consonant, please, Rachel.
16:39Thank you, David.

16:41And another.

17:47Thank you, David.
17:48Charges.
17:49And charges?
17:50Yeah.
17:51Again, had charges, Nick.
17:53Susie?
17:55We had a countdown favourite that's not come up for a while, actually.
17:59Gheraus.
18:00G-H-E-R-A-O-S.
18:02It's for Bengali term.
18:04And in Indian English, it's a protest in which workers stop their employers leaving work.
18:08Until their demands are met.
18:10That's right, yeah.
18:11Lock them in.
18:12Yeah.
18:12Well, well.

19:23Yes, six.
19:24Max.

19:38Pension and Susie.

19:41There's opaline, which means the same as opalescent,
19:44and spaniel as well.
19:4758 to 20, and into another numbers game for David.
19:52Yes, David.
19:53Yes, just one large and five small again, please.
19:56You're usual.
19:56Thank you, David.
19:58One from the top this time.
19:59And these five little ones are three, two, seven, five, four,
20:06and the large one, 75.
20:09And this target, 811.

20:52So, 7 plus 5 is 12.
20:547 plus 5, 12.
20:55Times by the 75.

20:59I've gone wrong, then.
21:01Sorry, Max.
21:02Oh, bad luck.
21:048-0-8, David.
21:0675 plus 5.
21:0880.
21:09And then 7 plus 3 is 10.
21:12Yeah.
21:12So, multiply for 800.
21:15And 4 times 2 is 8.
21:17Lovely.
21:183 away.
21:19Well done, indeed.
21:21Well done.
21:22But 8-11.
21:25Rachel?
21:25It was, then, Nick.
21:27If you say, 3 times 5 is 15.
21:30Minus 4 is 11.
21:32Times 75 is 825.
21:36And 2 times 7 is 14, to take away for 8-11.
21:40Perfect.

21:54The girl had a portion of this from the hotel dessert cart.

25:32Very good.
25:33Yeah, good seven.
25:34Now, Raj.
25:36I've got an eight.

25:38Palliest.
25:39Palliest.
25:39Yes.
25:40Very good.
25:41Friendliest.
25:41Palliest.
25:42Solid stuff.
25:43Susie?
25:44And that's nicer than legalist.
25:46But that's another eight.
25:47Somebody who is excessively subservient to the law, should we say.
25:52Very good.
25:53So, 72 to 27.
25:55Susie, your origins of words have spun around again.
25:59Oh, happy day.
26:00What have you got for us?
26:01I'm going to talk about revenge today.
26:04And revenge over the centuries had quite an interesting ride, really.
26:08But back in Roman times, they would take a small sheet of lead.
26:12They would scratch into it a message in which they cursed their enemies.
26:16They would roll it up and then they would throw it into the nearest sacred spring.
26:20And these were known as the curse tablets.
26:23I don't know if Raj has come across them, but many of them are still around today, really,
26:27as a record of that kind of human anger.
26:30I've never seen one.
26:30You've never seen one.
26:31They're really interesting.
26:32And at the Roman baths, in Bath, you'll find some 130 ancient curse tablets have so far been fished out.
26:40And there are probably far more in there yet to be discovered.
26:42And they date from around 2,000 to 1,700 years ago.
26:46They were called defixiones in Latin, which means fastened,
26:50because it was believed that evil would bind themselves to these curse tablets
26:53and then be let loose upon the enemy.
26:55So we get the idea of fixation from as well.
26:58The reason sacred springs were chosen is because this was hot springs and hot water kind of rising from them
27:05were seen as just so, it kind of defied human logic, really.
27:09And so they thought there must be something godly and spiritual about this.
27:12This was a place where the god resided.
27:14So you could then make your appeal to the god to take your revenge upon the enemy.
27:19But the reason behind most of these curses are not quite as sensational as you might think.
27:24It was mostly theft, and particularly theft of money, blanket, tools, clothes, cloaks, bathing tunics as well.
27:32Well, but the curses themselves were really, really strong.
27:35So a citizen called Dr. Medes had his gloves stolen, and he asked that the person who'd stolen them should
27:40lose his mind and his eyes.
27:43That's written on there.
27:44And there's another one that says,
27:45So those who have deprived Vino of her property, may they have worms and maggots penetrate their hands and feet
27:51as well as their limbs and marrows.
27:53So it was all pretty dramatic stuff, and fairly disproportionate as well, given the nature of the crime.
27:59But a curse time was absolutely fascinating.
28:01So if you've ever come across one, it's probably worth it.
28:02I'll have to check the bath tonight.
28:04Yeah, just in case.
28:06Very good.
28:07Very good.
28:11Well done.
28:12Thank you, Susie.
28:13So David on 72, Max on 27, and Max, it's your letters game.
28:18Can I start with a consonant, please?

32:18Times 10.
32:19280.
32:209 minus 8 is 1 to add on.
