00:17Good afternoon.
00:29Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:31I'm sure many, many people fantasize about making a sudden, dramatic exit from their jobs.
00:36There may be people watching who think, oh, I wish I could just get out of my job and run
00:42away.
00:42Well, it does happen, and it happened to a disgruntled air steward way back in 2010.
00:49He thought to himself, Rich, I've had enough of this.
00:52And so what he did was that he grabbed the intercom system and let loose a violent, abusive tirade against
01:02the airline.
01:02Then he knocked the other steward out of the way and grabbed a pint of beer, swallowed that.
01:07I think it's known as he necked that, threw open the door, released the slide that all these aircraft have,
01:16slid down it and pushed off.
01:17They were on the ground at the time.
01:19And he legged it.
01:20He legged it.
01:21Wonderful.
01:22Now, have you ever thought, do you know something, I want to travel the world, I want to do something
01:28completely different.
01:29You've always had actually very interesting jobs.
01:32Has it ever crossed your mind?
01:33No, I've had mostly very good jobs, but I did like the Twitter employee that, when he left, he deleted
01:39Trump's Twitter account for 12 minutes.
01:41That was a good one.
01:42And one of my very good friends, who will remain nameless, her boss was sexist, racist, type of phobe, everything
01:49you can be that is deplorable, he was.
01:52And he was horrible to the whole team, so she kept a log of when he said all these horrible
01:57things and wrote them all down.
01:58And then when she left, she went to HR and presented them with this case.
02:02And she thought nothing had happened, and she left very, you know, rather disgruntled.
02:05And then a couple of weeks later, he was sent on his way.
02:09Really?
02:09Yeah, so the whole office messaged her at that point, because they were all thrilled.
02:13Absolutely right.
02:13So, yeah, that should get our production team a little bit worried with your books that you're keeping on there.
02:18It's a lesson for them.
02:19The one upstairs?
02:19Exactly.
02:20We know who we're talking about.
02:23Begins with D, and it's, anyway, there we are.
02:27Certainly not D for dunce.
02:29It's certainly not D for dunce with our friend Damien.
02:32But talking about dunces, we certainly haven't got one in the corner in the form of Zartes Jemper, that's for
02:39sure.
02:39Welcome back.
02:41Five great wins all over 100, the highest being 130.
02:47It's fantastic.
02:48Thank you very much.
02:49Good privilege to have you on the show.
02:51Now, you're up against Dave Birch.
02:53Welcome, Dave.
02:55From Melton Woodbridge bus driver.
02:57Melton Woodbridge in Suffolk.
02:59That's correct.
03:00Yeah, that's brilliant.
03:01And you love a bit of karaoke down at the bell.
03:04I do.
03:04Is the bell in Melton Woodbridge, or where?
03:06Keirskine.
03:07Okay.
03:08And that's your local?
03:08Yeah, that's my local, even though it's nowhere near me.
03:11But you still go there and annoy the locals with your karaoke?
03:15Yeah.
03:16Brilliant.
03:16What's your favourite song?
03:17Bridge over Troubled Waters.
03:18Well, if you win today and overturn, you topple Zate, then we'll have you out here singing Bridge
03:24Over Troubled Waters.
03:25You're on.
03:25Is that a deal?
03:26Yes.
03:26Brilliant stuff.
03:27All right.
03:28We're over there, Mike.
03:29Now, who have we got over in the corner?
03:31Of course, we've got Susie, joined once again by wildlife and science presenter, the wonderful

06:54Sorry.

06:56What can we have?
06:57Liz, Susie?
06:59Yes, there is co-alite there, which is to combine, unite or merge.

10:45Excellent.

12:10Zarte?
12:11Legions.
12:12And two legions.
12:15Two legions.
12:15All good.
12:16Any more?
12:17Yes, we had some legions.
12:20We had legions.
12:20Anything else?
12:22One eight, song-like.
12:24Oh, very good.
12:25Lovely.
12:30Zarte's all cross with himself now.
12:3249 to 25.
12:34Dave, your number's game.
12:37We've got one for the top and five anywhere else.
12:41You can indeed.
12:42Thank you, Dave.
12:42One large one.
12:43And this selection is four, eight, one, six, ten, and 50.
12:52And the target, 539.
12:55539.
13:06ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS
13:32539. Tell us how you reach that. 50 plus 4?
13:37I think Dave might kick himself. 54.
13:39Times 10? 540.
13:42Take one.
13:43Well done.
13:44Glad like this. Glad like this.
13:49Well done, Zati. 59 now to 25.
13:52And turning to Liz. Liz, last year you made the most wonderful programme about the Galapagos.
13:58Dream come true for me.
14:00Yeah.
14:00To actually get to go, but not only to get to visit one of the most magical wild places left
14:05on the planet,
14:06but to go on this state-of-the-art research vessel with all sorts of amazing bits of kit,
14:13two eight-ton submersibles, a helicopter, a wet lab for all our sampling.
14:17So for me, it was an absolute dream trip.
14:22But, you know, all the animals that live on the islands are already mind-blowing enough.
14:26It's what's beneath the surface that really will stay with me forever.
14:30So thanks to these incredible submersible vessels,
14:34on my first trip beneath the waves, we went 1,000 metres down to a place called the Bolivar Canal.
14:41It's a trench that separates two of the islands, Isabella and Ferdinand.
14:44And after 100 metres, it just turns pitch black.
14:47And it's been said before that when you go to those depths, you feel like as close as you can
14:54be on Earth to an astronaut,
14:55except you're exploring Earth's inner space.
14:58And it is incredibly surreal and incredibly special to feel like you're setting eyes on the first coral species
15:06that's ever been set eyes on or the first crustacean.
15:09And on many occasions, I was pointing to the scientists beside me.
15:12There's three of us, me, the scientist, and this fantastic submersible pilot.
15:16And I'm going, what's that?
15:16He goes, yeah, that's new.
15:17What's that?
15:17Yeah, that's new.
15:18You know.
15:19So that was pretty extraordinary.
15:21But the one underwater trip that will save me forever and really sort of blew my mind even more than
15:26that
15:27was witnessing a behaviour with Galapagos scalloped hammerhead sharks.
15:33They come from all different directions of the oceans.
15:36Up to 500 of them congregate en masse in an area of the Galapagos near a place called Darwin's Arch.
15:42It's sort of northwest from the main islands.
15:45And I'm not a very good scuba diver, but I couldn't pass out the chance to try and witness this
15:52for myself.
15:52And scientists are still trying to understand why they come together like this.
15:56But we basically, we dived and we saw them all swimming overhead in their hundreds.
16:02And what they think happens is it's basically a beautiful balletic courtship display where at the centre of this mass
16:09of sharks
16:10that are just slowly moving around, the more mature, fertile females are.
16:15And they're guarded by the younger individuals.
16:17And the males have to wind and fight their way through the mass of sharks to win the more mature
16:25females.
16:25So it's really natural selection at play.
16:28It's selecting at the weaker males and only the fittest, strongest males will get to mate.
16:34And it's considered one of Galapagos' most beautiful and wondrous natural wonders.
16:40I personally think it's one of the world's most magnificent natural wonders.
16:44It's really, really special.
16:45Wonderful.
16:46But you were in amongst them too.
16:47I was in amongst them.
16:48Very good.
16:49Well done.
16:54Lovely.
16:55Thank you, Liz.
16:56It's a great, great piece of film.
16:58Lovely.
16:59Now, Zate.
17:00It's a letters game.
17:02Start with the consonant, please, Rachel.
17:03Thank you, Zate.
17:05M.
17:06And another.

17:36T.
17:37And a second.
18:07Now then, Dave.
18:09Six.
18:10And that's six.
18:11Comments.
18:12Now then.
18:12Zate.
18:13Coziest.
18:14Mm-hmm.
18:15Coziest.
18:16Nice.
18:17Any advances?
18:18We had somites for seven.
18:22Yes.
18:23Susie?
18:24Yeah, they're body segments.
18:26So individual body segments in invertebrates such as earthworms.
18:30So you can clearly see each somite in their body.
18:33And each contains the same contents, basically.
18:36It's just repeated in an organism.
18:37Which is why Liz spoke so confidently about it.
18:40Yes, yeah.
18:40No, it's all about it.
18:41All right.
18:42Not really.
18:4366 to 25.
18:45Dave, your letters again.
18:46Let's start with a continent, please.
18:48Thank you, Dave.

19:08F.
19:09And a vowel.
19:12A.

19:59Yeah.
19:59Six.
20:01Well, Liz and Susie, any loaves?
20:03I had loaves for seven, but Susie, you have an eight.
20:05I think hatfuls is another seven, and then there is an outflash, therefore eight, which
20:11is an outburst or outbreak, an outflash.
20:20An outflash.
20:21Quite.
20:2273 to 32.
20:24Zate, your numbers game.
20:27Don't need to ask now, do I?
20:28Two, one, two, one.

21:14Now, Zate, 326.

21:18I think I've got it, not written down.
21:20Well, let's try it.
21:21Dave?
21:22Four times seventy-five.
21:24Four seventy-fives are three hundred.
21:28And then, oh.
21:31We're going to have to push you.
21:33What did I do?
21:34Fifty minus.
21:35Got to go.
21:37Now then, Zate.
21:38Fifty times five.
21:40Fifty times five, two fifty.
21:43Add seventy-five.
21:44Three, two, five.
21:45Four, take three.

25:00And a final vowel, please.
25:01And a final vowel, please.
25:11Well, Zate?
25:12Just a five.
25:13Dave?
25:14I've only got four.
25:15And you're four?
25:16Gate.
25:17And you're five?
25:18Amigo.
25:19And over in the corner, Liz, what news?
25:22Just another five, Mago.
25:24Yeah, Susie?
25:25Yeah, two meanings, very distinct.
25:27The Barbary ape, or a grotesque Chinese or Japanese figurine represented in a sitting position.
25:35Really?
25:36Yes.
25:36Ninety-five to thirty-two.
25:39Susie?
25:40What have you lined up for us today?
25:43What are you going to tell us about today, in your wonderful origin of words?
25:47I have a big etymological mystery.
25:50It's a phrase of expression that's attracted more conjecture, possibly, than almost any other, apart from cloud nine, any other
25:58idiom that I can find.
25:59And that's the whole nine yards.
26:02So many theories abound for this one.
26:05And I thought I would whiz through a few of them and then maybe point to one that could be
26:10the best explanation of it, although we're still not completely sure.
26:14One is that the whole nine yards was the rubbish required to fill a whole dustbin lorry, that it was
26:20the standard amount of cloth needed.
26:22Now, cloth certainly was made originally in multiples of three, so the whole nine yards was said to be a
26:28standard measurement, perhaps to make a three-piece suit.
26:31So that sounds quite plausible.
26:33The volume of size required for a rich man's grave, which is quite an interesting one.
26:39There is some record showing that if you were wealthy, you might be able to afford nine yards of earth
26:44around you, or at least of space around you, which is a little bit morbid.
26:48One of the most plausible ones, actually, is because it came about pretty much in print after World War II,
26:56is that during World War II, the .50 caliber machine gun ammunition belt could be let out exactly nine yards.
27:02So it's said that soldiers would say to each other, give them the full nine yards for the enemy.
27:07But that one is definitely close to the top of plausible ones.
27:11But, intriguingly, fairly recently, some new evidence has come to light, and that's about some jargon in the space program
27:17in the 1960s.
27:19And there was an article, How to Talk Rockets, that was a glossary of, as they say, jargon that was
27:24spoken by astronauts.
27:26And it defined the whole nine yards as an item-by-item report on a new project.
27:31And the conjecture is that the report would have been written on folded stacks of perforated printer paper.
27:37That could be let out the whole nine yards.
27:40But who knows, perhaps it did originate with NASA.
27:44Only time will tell.
27:45I won't say watch this space, news is a very bad pun.
27:47But that could be, that could be the origin of it.
27:51Wonderful.
27:53Wonderful.
27:56And could be so recent, too.
27:59So recent.
28:00Amazing.
28:0195 to 32, look at Zate knocking on the door there.
28:04Now, Dave, let us go.
28:07Can we start with a continent, please, Rachel?
28:10Hi, Dave.
28:11D.
28:12Avel.
28:14A.
28:15I can't spell my name.
28:17D.
28:17Give it a go.
28:19Continent.
28:20T.
28:22Vel.
28:24E.
28:25Continent.
28:26S.
28:28I'll do.
28:31Avel.
28:33U.
28:35A continent.
28:37R.
28:39Another continent.
28:41L.
28:42And a final...
28:45Vel.
28:46Please.
28:47A final I.
28:49Stand by.
28:50A.
28:51A.
28:53A.
29:05A.
29:20A.
29:20A.
29:20Well, Dave?
29:22Seven.
29:25And Zate?
29:26Eight.
29:28Dave?
29:29Trailed.
29:30Now then.
29:31Residual.
29:32Very nice.
29:33Lovely.
29:34Residual.
29:34Very nice.
29:38He's done it again.
29:39He's only done it again.
29:41What have we got in the corner there?
29:44Liz and Susie?
29:46So, one eight.
29:48Studlier.
29:49Yes.
29:51To be studly of a man is to be sexually attractive in a strongly masculine way.
29:57Studlier?
29:58More of a stud.
30:00Studlier.
30:01Well, I'm done.
30:02103 to 32.
30:04And Zate, your letters game.
30:07Start with a vowel, please.
30:08Thank you, Zate.
30:09O.
30:10And a second.
30:12E.
30:13And a consonant, please.
30:15R.
30:16And another.
30:17P.
30:18And a third.
30:20T.
30:21And a vowel, please.
30:24I.
30:25And a consonant.
30:26P.
30:27And a consonant.
30:29D.
30:30And a final consonant, please.
30:34And a final N.
30:37And the clock starts now.
30:38TAN.
30:40Oh, TAN.
31:07And a consonant.
31:10Zate?
31:11Seven.
31:11Seven, Dave?
31:13Seven.
31:14Zate?
31:15Tripped.
31:16And?
31:17Printed.
31:18Yes.
31:19Very nice.
31:20Good.
31:22Susie and Liz, what have you produced for us?
31:26We have a couple of sevens as well.
31:27A diopter, which is a unit of refractive power, actually with lenses.
31:32And peridot, a green semi-precious mineral.
31:36Peridot, indeed, yeah.
31:37Thank you very much.
31:38So, the score's standing 110 to 39.
31:42It's Dave's numbers game.
31:44Dave?
31:45Welcome to the top, please, Rachel.
31:47Five anywhere else.
31:48Thank you, Dave.
31:49One large, five little.
31:50And the last one of the day is two, one, eight, five, four, and 25.
32:00And the target?
32:01719.
32:03719.
32:04One large, five, four, and four.
32:34Well, Dave?
32:35No, nearly, but not quite.
32:38Not quite. Did Zate do it?
32:40Yeah, 719.
32:41And how did you do it?
32:4325 times 4 is 100.
32:45Yep.
32:455 times 2 is 10.
32:47It is.
32:48Take the 10 away from the 100.
32:4990.
32:50Times by 8.
32:51720.
32:52And take the 1.
32:53Perfect again.
32:55Perfect, perfect, perfect.
33:00Superb. 120.
33:01But it's 39.
33:03Well played, Dave, actually.
33:04As we go into the final round.
33:06Fingers on buzzers, guys.
33:08Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.

33:19Let's see whether you're right.
33:20I'm sure you are.
33:22Resourced.
33:22Well done.
33:28Well done, Zate.

33:36Kicked off with a 9.
33:39Very good.
33:39But you're up against a formidable player of all players.
33:43Stumbled on the numbers.
33:44Hmm.
33:45You played very well, though.
33:46It was great having you here as well.
33:48You take your scoody bag back with our congratulations and our best wishes.
33:52All right, then.
33:53Well done.
33:54Zate, siempre.
33:55Tomorrow.
33:56You've got six tucked away now.
33:58Tomorrow, seven.
33:59Fantastic performance.
34:00Thank you very much.
34:00I can't say any more.
34:03Have a quiet evening.
34:03I shall do.
34:04Lovely stuff.
34:04We shall see you both tomorrow in the corner.
34:06Susie and Liz, of course.
34:08See you tomorrow.
34:08All right.
34:09And, Rachel, I have nothing more to add.
34:11I think he's brilliant.
34:12Well, it was Philip's seventh game where Zate swanned in and stole his winning streak.
34:16So, he has to watch out still.
34:18Absolutely.
34:19Absolutely.
34:20It happens.
34:21Join us tomorrow.
34:22Same time, same place.
34:23See how Zate does then.
