00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Now, fathers of young children have got to be very, very inventive to keep them amused.
00:40Nobody could be more inventive than a young Japanese dad, who absolutely loved trains.
00:48Well, his son really loved trains.
00:50I mean, how he came up with this idea, I do not know.
00:53But anyway, he went off and he got himself a T-shirt with a train track printed across the back,
00:58which enabled him to lie on the floor, apparently, and allow his little son to run his trains over his
01:06back and off and all the rest of it.
01:09And our research department has come up with the idea that this was some sort of, I don't know, mutually
01:14beneficial thing,
01:15because he would get a massage at the same time.
01:18You know how big the Japanese are on their massages.
01:20Have you ever done something for somebody whilst at the same time gaining some benefit from it?
01:26Well, it's nice when you've got little ones around, isn't it?
01:28Because you can do all the stuff that you didn't do since you were a kid that you've wanted to.
01:32So my little nephew Finley's just turned three.
01:34Yes.
01:34So we took him to the petting zoo.
01:36And he loves that.
01:37So you can feed the goats and feed the sheep and see the cows.
01:41We got some chickens at home for the granddaughters.
01:44And she went off to get the eggs, which is the big thing.
01:48And as she went by, she picked up a chicken and stuck it under her arm.
01:52Fabulous.
01:53Fearless.
01:54That kids shouldn't be afraid of animals.
01:55I think it's marvellous.
01:56Lovely.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Unfortunately, we've got a fox.
02:00So we're down to four.
02:01That's another story.
02:02Who have we got with us?
02:03We have got two new contestants.
02:05Barbara Topping.
02:06How are you, Barbara?
02:07I'm fine, thank you.
02:08From Stockport, retired local authority manager.
02:11Yeah.
02:11Crown Green Bowling is for you, isn't it?
02:15Irwood Ladies and the Greater Manchester Transport.
02:18That's a mixed team, isn't it?
02:19That's a mixed team, yeah.
02:20Excellent.
02:21It's men and women playing against men and women.
02:23Sometimes we play against an all-male team.
02:26Oh.
02:27That's exciting.
02:28It can be tricky, but we're not a pushover.
02:31I'm sure you're not.
02:32You're joined by Phil Heyman.
02:34He's not a pushover either.
02:36Six foot four of him.
02:37Fourteen stone.
02:38A retired banker from Isleworth who rows with the Thames Tradesman's Rowing Club down
02:45at Chiswick.
02:46Is that right?
02:46Yes.
02:47That's good exercise, isn't it?
02:48It's tough.
02:49You're 58 and you're still at it.
02:51Good for you.
02:52Excellent.
02:52Well, look, good luck to you both.
02:54Neither of you will be a pushover.
02:56Let's have a big round of applause for Barbara and Phil.
02:59APPLAUSE
03:02And over in the corner, Susie.
03:04And he's back.
03:05Money-saving expert, TV presenter, the one and only Martin Lewis.
03:09Welcome back, Martin.
03:10Thank you very much.
03:13Always a pleasure.
03:15Now, Barbara, off we go.
03:17All right.
03:18Hello, Rachel.
03:19Hi, Barbara.
03:20Can I have a consonant, please?
03:23You can indeed.
03:23Start today with M.
03:26And a vowel.
03:28I.
03:28A consonant.
03:31T.
03:33A vowel.
03:35A.
03:37And another vowel.
03:39U.
03:42Consonant.
03:43S.
03:46Vowel.
03:48O.
03:50Consonant.
03:52L.
03:53And another consonant.
03:55And the last one.
03:56C.
03:57And here's the countdown clock.
04:00MUSIC PLAYS
04:30Yes, Barbara?
04:31A six, not written down.
04:34Phil?
04:34A five written down, but...
04:36A five written down.
04:37Phil?
04:38Coast.
04:39Now, Barbara.
04:41Mastic.
04:42Yes, mastic resin, for example.
04:45It's an aromatic gum that comes from the bark of a Mediterranean tree.
04:49Sure.
04:50Now, what's the corner got?
04:52Martin?
04:52Susie?
04:53Now, I often talk about reclaiming in the work I do, whether it's PPI or payday loans or
04:58various other things that go on there.
05:00But I could start to call it solatiuming.
05:03Is that correct?
05:04Yes.
05:04Solatium.
05:05Yes, solatium.
05:05Solatium is the word, not solatiuming.
05:07Solatium is an eight-letter word, which means...
05:09Yes, or solatium.
05:11I think maybe it's a sh there, but it's just for future.
05:14So, it's a thing given to someone as a compensation or consolation.
05:19So, it might be an apology.
05:20I guess it might be monetary.
05:21All right.
05:22Well done.
05:23Now, Phil, your letters came.
05:26Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:26Afternoon, Phil.
05:28Could I have a vowel, please?
05:30Start with E.
05:32And another?
05:34I.
05:35And another?
05:37E.
05:39And a consonant, please.
05:42D.
05:43And another?
05:45S.
05:46And another?
05:48T.
05:50And another?
05:53S.
05:55And another?
05:57C.
05:59And, finally, a vowel, please.
06:03And, lastly, O.
06:06Stand by.
06:08Let's go.
06:20Bye.
06:21Bye.
06:21Bye.
06:25Bye.
06:26Bye.
06:29Bye.
06:33Bye.
06:38Yes, Phil.
06:39Six.
06:40A six now, Barbara.
06:41Six.
06:42Phil?
06:43Costed.
06:44Same word, costed.
06:46There we are.
06:47Any advance on six?
06:48No, I had costed as well.
06:49I go with the money words.
06:50Phil's an ex-banker, so he probably does two on that one.
06:53But there's a couple of eights in there, aren't there?
06:55Yes.
06:57Cosseted is there.
06:58And the plural of diocese with an S on the end.
07:02And it can be pronounced either as dioceses or simply diocese again.
07:09Diocese, yeah.
07:11So, 12 plays six.
07:12Phil on six.
07:13Barbara's numbers game now, Barbara.
07:15Can I have two from the top and four from anywhere else, please?
07:19You can indeed.
07:20Thank you, Barbara.
07:20Two large, four little to kick us off today.
07:22And the first numbers are five, one, one, eight, 75 and 50.
07:30And the target, 809.
07:32Eight, zero, nine.
07:36Two large, three, four, one, eight, 75 and 50.
08:05Well, Barbara?
08:06805.
08:07What about Phil?
08:08Panic.
08:09Nowhere.
08:10Panic?
08:10Don't panic.
08:11Nowhere.
08:12Barbara?
08:131 plus 1 times the 8 for 16.
08:1816.
08:19Times the 50.
08:21800.
08:23Yep, 805.
08:24Four away.
08:26Close, but not quite on the ball.
08:28809.
08:29Rachel?
08:30I got to one away, so you leave it with me.
08:33Certainly will.
08:34Certainly will.
08:3519 plays 6.
08:36Phil on 6 as we turn to our first tea-time teaser, which is origanums.
08:42And the clue?
08:43He knew nothing about plants.
08:44In fact, he's rather stupid.
08:46He knows nothing about plants.
08:48In fact, he's rather stupid.
09:08And the answer to that is that he's an ignoramus.
09:13An ignoramus.
09:15I know somebody who's no ignoramus.
09:17She's spot on again.
09:18I know by that smile.
09:19Just a bit slow.
09:20If you say 75 divided by 5 is 15, add 1 for 16, times by 50 for 800, and add
09:29on the 8 and the 1.
09:308 and the 1.
09:31Perfect.
09:32Thanks, Rachel.
09:36Wonderful.
09:38And now, Phil, your letters again.
09:41Can I have a vowel, please?
09:42Thank you, Phil.
09:43A.
09:44And another.

10:08And another consonant, please.
10:11And the last one.
10:12S.
10:13Stand by.
10:44Well, Phil?
10:46I've got a 6.
10:47No, Barbara.
10:48I've got nothing.
10:49Bad luck, but don't worry.
10:51Lots of time for that.
10:52Phil, what is your 6?
10:53Aphids.
10:54Happy, Susie?
10:55Very, very happy.
10:56Now, Martin, what are you doing?
10:57Yes, I was in for the same, actually, but there is a longer one, and we sort of keep it
11:02on
11:02the botanical theme, don't we?
11:03Yes, we do.
11:05Padauks.
11:06P-A-D-A-U-K-S.
11:09They're large trees of the pea family, and they produce padauk itself, which is a wood timber
11:15resembling rosewood, native to the tropics.
11:17Well, well.
11:19So, 19th place, 12th.
11:22Phil clambering up there.
11:23Barbara, off we go.
11:25Let us go.
11:26Could I have a consonant, please?

12:03And habl else who sliced.
12:30For you all.
12:30I want.
12:31I want to ask you both.
12:31Well Barbara? Five. Phil? Seven. And a seven. Barbara? Adopt. Phil? Pointed. Yes. Straightforward? Yes it is. And in the
12:44corner? Yeah there's a few sevens in there. Painted is in there and Susie's deviant is in there too. But
12:52there is an eight as well Susie.
12:53Yes you can stretch and adopt a little bit and have adoptive and that will be their thing. Adoptive parent.
13:00Well done. So Phil you've drawn level. Nineteen apiece and now it's your numbers game. Off we go. Six from
13:12the bottom row please. Six little ones. Let's have a look. Wake our brains up. See if we have a
13:19challenge. They are. Three. Seven. Four. Six.
13:23Nine. And another seven. And the target. Eight hundred and fifty three. Eight five three.
14:01Phil? Didn't get within. No? Not close enough. Barbara? Not near enough. Right. Fortunately we have with us someone who's
14:11an expert. An expert. Yep. What does Rachel think or is this really a tricky one?
14:15I got two away but this one's impossible. Thank you Rachel. Nineteen apiece as we link to Martin. Now Martin.
14:24What have you got for us today? Sage words.
14:26So I campaign a lot for financial education. We've got it on the national curriculum. We've now put textbooks in
14:33every school in England and we're looking at doing Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland I hope in the next
14:39couple of years.
14:41And of course I have a six-year-old daughter so she has financial education at home because I'm her
14:46daddy.
14:47And one of the latest concepts we've been talking about is opportunity cost which is the posh name for what
14:52I tell her that you can't spend money twice.
14:54If you get pocket money you can choose to save it up to have something big or you can spend
14:58it now but then you won't be able to have something big.
15:00And this reminded me of perhaps my favourite ever personal story involving opportunity cost.
15:06It happened a decade ago. It was with one of my best friends and she hates me telling this story
15:12and denies it ever happened.
15:13So we went out with a friend and we've gone out shopping and she saw two pairs of boots.
15:20The first pair was a pair of black knee-length leather boots with a big zip on the side.
15:26The second pair was a pair of black knee-length leather boots with a big zip on the side.
15:31They looked virtually identical to me but trying to remember the prices it was something like one of them was
15:38priced £120 and the other was priced £70.
15:42And she was sitting there deciding between the two.
15:44So I said wait a second and I went out to the cash machine I got some money I came
15:47back and said what you have to understand is the choice isn't between the two pairs of boots.
15:52It's between this pair of boots and I held up the £120 boots and this pair of boots and I
15:58held up the £70 pair of boots and I had 50 quid in my hand and £50.
16:02And that's the real choice you're making.
16:05And she looked at me and she said I have never thought about it that way before.
16:11That's truly eye-opening.
16:13Then she bought the expensive boots.
16:20Now, 19th piece and now Barbara, it's your letters go.
16:26A consonant please, Rachel.
16:28Thank you, Barbara.

17:35Globes.
17:37Now then.
17:38Bloggers with one G.
17:40You do need the two G's, I'm afraid, Phil.
17:43Sorry.
17:43Oh, OK.
17:44Bad luck.
17:45What about the corner, Martin?
17:46Well, I just have a seven and I want to know if it's allowed.
17:50Is goalers a word?
17:53Uh, yes.
17:54Um, goaler is there in, um, the sense of, um, a player in ice hockey, in polo and in netball.
18:01And you, there were a few other sevens in there, weren't there?
18:02Um, yes.
18:03There is boogers.
18:05Well, there are boogers.
18:06Um, that's their seven.
18:07And also a solar bar, um, which is, um, a piece of the structure on the undercarriage of a train.

19:28Stomps.
19:29Phil?
19:29Postman.
19:30That's hundreds of letters.
19:33And there's a nine, though.
19:35There is, just to say, there's not two S's for stomps, I'm afraid, Barbara.
19:40But there is a nine.
19:42Yes, it's a chemical one.
19:43It has a silent P, and it's tomaine.
19:47So it's P-T-O-M-A-I-N-E-S.
19:49And it's a group of compounds of unpleasant taste and odour that you'll find in putrefying vegetable matter.
19:56Well, well, well.
19:58Amen.
20:01Thank you, Susie.
20:0325, place 26.

20:12Thank you, Barbara.

21:01Five, two, seven.
21:02Off we go.
21:0575 multiplied by seven.
21:08Five, two, five.
21:09And then I had four minus one for three.
21:14Yep.
21:15Take away from the five for the two.
21:17Perfect.
21:18Five, two, seven.
21:19Lovely.
21:20Phil?
21:20I started off the same, but I had five minus four to get one.
21:25And then you add it to the one.
21:27Same in a different order.
21:28Perfect.
21:33So, there's nothing in it.
21:3535 plays 36.
21:36Phil maintaining his one-point lead as we turn to our second tea-time teaser, which is Nebula

22:08Welcome back.
22:09I left you with the clue.
22:10He won't be playing that piano any time soon.
22:13It's beyond repair because it's untunable.

23:45Can't beat that at all.
23:46That's very good there.
23:47Anything else, Susie?
23:48We have urinal to match the latrine for six and neutral for seven.
23:53So, 43 to 36.

24:26T.
24:27And finish with a consonant.
24:29And finish with S.
24:31Stand by.
25:03Barbara.
25:04Five.
25:05Five, Phil?
25:06Five.
25:07Yes, Barbara.
25:08Moist.
25:09Moist indeed, yes.
25:11Phil?
25:11I've got feast, F-I-E.
25:13Let's do.
25:14Like a fiesta, but you need the A at the end, I'm afraid, Phil.
25:19Sorry.
25:20Mm-hmm.
25:21Martin?
25:21Yeah, I've got a seven, actually, so I'm feeling quite pleased with myself.
25:24Homey-ist.
25:25Homey-ist.
25:26Homey-ist, yes.
25:26Synonym for home-y-ist.
25:28Yes.
25:29Anything else, Susie?
25:30Seven was the best we could do.
25:31OK.
25:3248, page 36.
25:33Susie, we're back with you.
25:36Your wonderful origins of words.
25:37I know you've been working hard on this.
25:39What have you produced for us today?
25:41A query from Polly Edwards, who asks why we might describe ourselves as being deaf as a
25:46post.
25:47What has a post got to do with it?
25:49And obviously, no-one wants to go deaf, but if you do, you at least have plenty of ways
25:54to describe it, because it turns out that similes about deafness are everywhere in English.
26:00Shakespeare spoke of his characters being deaf as an adder, and that came from the belief
26:05that snakes couldn't hear at all.
26:08Other expressions draw on the deafness of inanimate objects.
26:11That's where the post comes in, so deaf as a doorpost or deaf as a post is a really common
26:16one, and it follows the same idea as dead as a doornail, as if something is completely
26:20lifeless, and so it literally can't do anything.
26:24It's totally inanimate.
26:25And that proverbial inability to hear when it comes to posts is also there in between
26:30you, me, and the gatepost, the idea that they will keep confidences safe, because they
26:35can do absolutely nothing with them.
26:37But that Shakespearean idea of being deaf as an adder made me think about other animal
26:42metaphors and other animal imagery that you'll find in English, and it gives me a chance to
26:46tell you some of my favourites, which you might recognise.
26:49Licking something into shape, one of my all-time favourites, goes back to the medieval belief
26:54that bear cubs are born as blobs, essentially, and need to be licked into bear shape by their
27:00mums, which I think is very beautiful.
27:02And the swan song as well.
27:04Swan song is a performer's last act, or parting words, etc., and that goes back to, again,
27:11the idea around the Middle Ages that swans are mute all their lives, and just on the moment
27:16of death, they sing the most beautiful, mournful song, and that is their swan song, as it's
27:22kind of like a passing gift to the world, if you like.
27:24And, in fact, swans have a range of vocal sounds, but it's a beautiful image, and I think,
27:30you know, there are just sort of wonderful stories that are kind of hidden behind some
27:33of our ordinary metaphors, and they're definitely worth looking into.
27:37Perfect.
27:41Thank you, Susie.
27:4448 to 36, now, in the final straight, Phil.
27:47Letters game.
27:49Please now have a vowel.
27:50Thank you, Phil.
27:51U.
27:52And another.
27:53A.
27:55And another.
27:56E.
27:58And another.
28:00O.
28:01And I'll have a consonant next, please.
28:05R.
28:05And another.
28:07N.
28:09And another.
28:10R.
28:12And another.
28:15G.
28:16And a final consonant, please.
28:19A final T.
28:21Stand by.
28:21All right.
28:54Six. Barbara? Seven. Phil? Garnet. Now? Grouter. A grouter? Very good. Yes, well spotted. You can be a grouter? You
29:04can be a grouter. Martin? There are a couple of eights in there. One of them is outrager. Yeah. Outrager.
29:12And there's also? To outrage. Normally used to the gun. Sure. But grouter is usually the tool rather than the
29:18person using it. Okay. Thank you for that.
29:21But 55 plays 36. Barbara's sprinted ahead. And it's her letters game final one of the day, Barbara. Could I
29:29have a consonant, please, Rachel? Thank you, Barbara.
29:33Y. And another one.
29:35D. And another.
29:39R. A vowel.
29:43E. And another vowel.
29:46I. And another vowel.

29:50And consonant.
29:53S.
29:54Vowel.
29:56I.
29:57And finish with a consonant.
30:00And finish with N.
30:02And it's counter.
30:03It's counter.
30:05It's counter.
30:06It's counter.
30:22It's counter.

30:29It's counter.
30:35Well, Barbara?
30:36Seven, not written down.
30:38Phil?
30:39Seven written down.
30:40Barbara?
30:42Yardies.
30:43And Phil?
30:45Insider.
30:46And insider?
30:49Yardies, unfortunately, they're in the dictionary, but they're capitalised,
30:53which is really bad luck.
30:55Sorry about that.
30:56And Martin?
30:57There's the Roman coin.
30:58I think it was a small denomination, Roman coin.
31:01Denari is in there.
31:03With a double I at the end.
31:05That's the plural, yes.
31:06An ancient Roman silver coin.
31:07Originally worth ten asses.
31:09OK.
31:09Yeah.
31:10That's quite a big coin.
31:12How much would you pay for an ass?
31:15Well, it depends whether it's a nice one or not.
31:2355 plays 43.
31:25Now, Phil, numbers game, last one.
31:27Could I have the bottom row, please?
31:28You can indeed.
31:29Six little ones gambling time.
31:31Hopefully a crucial conundrum coming up.
31:33Let's see if we can get a possible one.
31:34Final numbers are three, nine, five, seven, four, and six.
31:41And the target, 865.
31:44865.
31:45What?
31:58The bar.
31:59What?
32:00What?
32:17Phil?
32:18Did they?
32:19Could they?
32:20Barbara?
32:20I lost it.
32:22Lost the plot there.
32:23Doesn't look easy.
32:25But let's see whether Rachel can unpick that for us.
32:29Rachel?
32:30I got to one away again, so leave it with me.
32:33Certainly I will.
32:34Certainly I will.
32:3555 to 43.
32:36In we go.
32:37Final round, chaps.
32:39Barbara?
32:39Finger on buzzer.
32:41It's there somewhere.
32:42I found it.
32:43Well done.
32:44Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:17Well, we're foxed up here, but who in the audience will I'll unpick this for?
33:22Yes, madam?
33:23Disarming.
33:24Disarming.
33:25Let's see whether you're right.
33:27Disarming, indeed.
33:33Thank you, madam.
33:35Thank you, indeed.
33:36So, Barbara, 55, and Phil on 43.
33:40Phil, we've got to say goodbye.
33:42You were running close together all the time, but eventually you got pipped.
33:47You got pipped.
33:48But thank you very much indeed for coming.
33:49Good luck with the rowing.
33:51And you take this for a bit of ballast, the goodie bag.
33:54You can put that in the bottom of your boat.
33:56Thank you very much for coming.
33:58Well done.
33:59Well done.
34:00You feeling good?
34:01I've got more nervous as the game's gone on.
34:04You have a quiet evening, and we'll see you tomorrow.
34:07OK.
34:08Well done.
34:09Martin, more advice tomorrow?
34:10Yes, hope so.
34:11Look forward to it.
34:12Susie, see you tomorrow.
34:13See you then.
34:13And Rachel, too, of course.
34:15Yes, I've got about a gazillion ways for one away, so I've got homework for tonight.
34:18All right.
34:19We'll talk about it tomorrow.
34:20All right.
34:21Join us then, same time, same place.
34:23You be sure of it.
34:23A very good afternoon.
