00:17Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:20It's the beginning of British Science Week.
00:24It runs all the way through to the 18th of March.
00:27Very important, very important.
00:28It's all about promoting the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths.
00:35And, of course, maybe, Rachel, and you'd be more experienced in this than I am,
00:39but perhaps in this country we've ignored to a certain extent those STEM subjects.
00:45And I think this is a very important initiative.
00:47Would you agree with me to actually get kids into and loving those subjects?
00:52Oh, 100%. Yeah, this is my topic.
00:54I could talk to you for the whole programme about that, especially girls.
00:57There's a lot of different people pulling together to try and encourage kids and girls to go into STEM subjects
01:01and then carry it on for longer and longer.
01:03But they just have to be exposed to it and find the part that they like.
01:07And I think they're encouraging people to go to museums this week.
01:10And my favourite exhibition is at the Natural History Museum every year.
01:14Have you been to the Wildlife Photography of the Year?
01:15I've seen some of the shots in the papers, but I've not been to the show.
01:20It's brilliant.
01:21Yeah, it's absolutely fantastic.
01:22And they just have some of the most beautiful pictures,
01:25whether it's eagle rays in the ocean in massive flocks
01:29or it's showing the plight of pangolins
01:32and all these animals that are being traded in different countries.
01:35It just highlights the natural world.
01:38It's just brilliant.
01:39But, yes.
01:40So there we are.
01:41I will stop because I could go on for a while.
01:43Wonderful thing to do.
01:45Absolutely.
01:45Well done.
01:46Thank you, Rachel.
01:47Now then.
01:48Zate.
01:49Oh, Zate.
01:52Seven wins, is it, or six?
01:53Six.
01:54Six.
01:54Brilliant.
01:55After your seventh today.
01:57Great career.
01:58Every time over 100.
01:59It's a matter of course nowadays.
02:01Let's see how your fellow countdowner, Steve Shingleton, gets on today.
02:07Have you been playing Countdown for a long time?
02:09I have.
02:10I have at home, yes.
02:12Lovely.
02:12And you're from Dartford, a house clearance operative,
02:15but also a singer in a band.
02:18Singer.
02:19And a guitarist.
02:20And a songwriter, too.
02:21I am, Nick.
02:22The crowbar surgeons, you call yourselves.
02:24The crowbar surgeons, yes.
02:25And are you playing locally, or are you...?
02:27I play locally, all over the country, up and down.
02:30Yeah?
02:30Not so much lately, but I have done, yeah.
02:33Lovely.
02:33Well, look, good luck to you today.
02:35You'll need a bit of luck.
02:36I know.
02:37You'll need a bit of luck.
02:37But anyway, good luck to you both.
02:39And a big round of applause for Steve and Zate.
02:46And there's Susie, sitting beside somebody who is a fan, a big fan of British Science
02:52Week, none other than science and wildlife presenter Liz Bonin.
02:58This is your line of country, isn't it?
03:04Of course, Liz, you and Rachel are big science fans.
03:07We are.
03:08We've been talking a lot about science and wildlife.
03:10I'm very lucky I host the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition awards every year.
03:15I've done it for five years now.
03:16And it's the most humbling gig of the year, and the one I relish and look forward to the
03:22most, to see such talented photographers and conservationists in one room, really doing
03:27everything they can to protect our planet.
03:30So, yes, it's a fantastic expo.
03:32Everybody should go and see it.
03:34All right.
03:35Now over to you, Zate Siempre.
03:37Take it away.
03:38It's a letters game.

06:36Now, what can we have?
06:37Susie and Liz, you conspired to produce something?
06:41Nothing better than megavolt.
06:43I should say, a million volts.
06:44That's the last thing you ought to be holding on to.

13:16Yeah.
13:17Well done.
13:20Sorry about that, Steve, because you're there, I think.
13:22I was.
13:23A little bit of a stumble.
13:24Yeah.
13:24Bad luck.
13:25Now, Liz, we turn to you.
13:29More about the Galapagos, the wonderful Galapagos.
13:33More about the Galapagos.
13:34I could talk about the Galapagos all day,
13:36but particularly in light of celebrating all things science this week.
13:40Whenever I'm asked who my heroes are,
13:43I always say it's the scientists that I meet in the field
13:46that are doing extraordinary things as we go about our daily lives.
13:50And when we were in Galapagos, one of our missions was to get to the top of Wolf Volcano,
13:55the highest volcano in Galapagos.
13:58It stands at a mighty 1,700 meters.
14:00It's often covered in this infamous Garua mist of the Galapagos.
14:04So it's very difficult to get there.
14:07Tourists can't visit there.
14:09And it's also an active volcano.
14:12So the year before we were there, it had erupted,
14:16and its whole, you know, one half of its caldera was completely singed.
14:21So we tried to land there to meet these amazing scientists
14:25who had made it up there and who had set up camp.
14:28And it took us three attempts to get there.
14:30And eventually, on our third day, we landed,
14:33but we had to have enough provisions in case the helicopter couldn't come back for days.
14:36And we were told, you're all right.
14:38You can camp on the side that isn't charred.
14:41And it's okay.
14:42It's not going to go off again, hopefully.
14:45And mind yourselves, here's a tick-removing device,
14:48because you're probably going to get about 50 ticks a day just being there.
14:52So really, it's not an easy job to do what these scientists do.
14:55And what they're up there for is to try and catch and give health checks
15:00to as many pink iguanas as possible.
15:02Now, the pink iguana is almost this mythical creature
15:05that only lives on this volcano, on this tiny island chain, on the whole planet.
15:11There's only 190 of them.
15:14They were only discovered in 1998, as recently as that,
15:19by a ranger who sort of said,
15:21I've seen these pink reptiles, and nobody believed them.
15:24And eventually, in 2009, scientists got up there, found one,
15:27and actually named it as a new species.
15:29So they're extremely rare, and very little is known about them.
15:32And the hope is that, by understanding more about them,
15:34they're going to move some of the pink iguanas to another part of Galapagos,
15:39so they stand a chance.
15:40If the volcano erupts again, it could wipe out the whole remaining 190,
15:44or if one disease hits, it'll wipe out the whole population.
15:47So they're trying to create genetic diversity by moving them.
15:50And that's why science is the most important,
15:55I don't call it a subject, it's a means of explaining the planet,
15:57but it's the most important tool we have at our disposal
16:00to understand and protect our planet,
16:03and that's why these scientists are my heroes.
16:05Well done.
16:06Oh, beautiful.
16:08Fantastic.
16:11Fascinating.
16:11Well, good luck to the pink iguana, for sure.
16:14Good luck to the pink, for her.
16:16Zate, 47, Steve on five.

23:28Very good. Can we match eight? Anywhere near it? Liz? Susie? We can with minstrel for eight.
23:37Minstrel. Lovely word. A minstrel. A minstrel boy. Seventy-six to nineteen. Zaté, your letters get.
23:47Start with a consonant, please. Thank you, Zaté. N. And a second. R. And a vowel. I. And a second.

24:59You did an H for chlorine, unfortunately. I'm sorry. Now, Liz and Susie, what have we got?
25:05Only recline for seven. And, yeah, there is a lovely adjective not used often enough.
25:13Irenic, which we'll give you another seven. So, it's E-I-R-E-N-I-C. And it means aiming
25:19or aimed at peace. It's quite nice.
25:23Very unusual. Yeah.
25:25Brilliant stuff. So, of course, standing 83 to 19. And now, Susie, we call upon you for your wonderful origins
25:30of words.
25:31I have a tweet in from Jake Bisham, who wondered where newfangled comes from. What's the fangled in newfangled and
25:41what is it all about? It's a good question.
25:43It sources a really, really old verb, fang, which meant – this is in the 9th century, so going back
25:51a long way.
25:51And, in fact, you can still find it in some dialects today. It meant to grasp or to seize or
25:57to catch.
25:57And it comes from a Germanic word, fangen, to catch.
26:03So, newfangled really emerged. First of all, it was newfangled, I have to say, as something that was newly seized,
26:09if you like.
26:10So, it was something that was a novelty. So, it was kind of caught onto or latched onto because it
26:16seemed new and exciting.
26:17And we all know all about that.
26:20So, you'll find lots and lots of proverbs warning people away from looking at newfangled because they were sort of
26:26fripperies or trumperies, as they used to be called as well.
26:30So, the first citation of newfangled, the adjective with an ED, is actually from a disputation of purgatory.
26:37And that was a polemic written in 1531 by an English Protestant writer who was called John Frith.
26:43And he said, let us see and examine more of this newfangled philosophy.
26:48He came unstuck because he was questioning the belief in purgatory and ended up being burned at the stake for
26:55it.
26:55But newfangled clearly wasn't taken particularly well when he was talking about purgatory.
27:02And just to say, that fang, that fangin, that fang word meaning to capture or seize, also, of course, gave
27:08us fang meaning a sharp tooth.
27:10It went on a long journey from something that was caught, it was applied to prey, and then to the
27:16teeth that did that catching and did that eating of the prey.
27:19So, strangely, strange to think that newfangled and teeth and canines of an animal come together, but they do in
27:25that single word.
27:26Perfect. Thank you.
27:3183 to 19.
