00:31What is this life if full of care? We have no time to stand and stare, thus wrote William Davis.
00:38Welcome to Countdown. Welcome to Countdown.
00:41And referring back to that poem, wouldn't it be great to have a simple life away from the hurly-burly
00:48of modern cities, working hard, furiously trying to keep up?
00:53Well, a young lady, she was called Sarah Moore, did so. She lived in Edinburgh and she said, I'm fed
00:59up with all this. I'm taking myself off to a lonely island, occupied, Rachel, by only 45 people, up in
01:06the north, Ronald say, the most northerly island in the Orkneys.
01:09Could I live on a remote island? I think I could, but there are a few things I would require.
01:15I think I'd require the internet, to be quite frank with you, to keep in touch, and two dogs.
01:20It'd probably give you more of an appreciation for the stuff we have here that we take for granted, but
01:24maybe not forever.
01:25I'm sure you're right. No, you'd need it to be a sort of a transition period, and then you'd be
01:30okay, but you'd be biting your nails during that transition period sort of thing.
01:35You'd better hope you like the other 44 on that island.
01:37For sure. For sure. No, one would have to work hard on that, I'm sure.
01:41Now, we've got two new contestants, Rachel. We've got Patrick Murphy, primary school teacher from Belfast, massive Celtic fan,
01:48and you made sure you indoctrinated your two boys to follow your passion. How did you manage to do that?
01:56When my two sons were born, separately, not twins, I was reading the history of Celtic Football Club to them,
02:02as they were actually being born.
02:05Lovely. Now, you're joined, Patrick, by Richard Anning, now retired, living in Chipping Norton, very much involved in a local
02:13Conservative Party, I think.
02:14I was up until about three or four years ago when I stood down. It was taking up quite a
02:19lot of my time, and being retired, there were other things I wanted to do,
02:23and I also drive a community bus once a fortnight.
02:27Oh, good for you.
02:28I feel like I'm putting something back into the local community.
02:31Good. All right. Well, good luck to you both. Let's have a big round of applause for Patrick and Richard.
02:40And Susie. Susie's over in the corner, joined once again. It's great to welcome her back.
02:46Broadcaster and motorsport presenter, Susie Perry. Susie, welcome back.
02:57A favourite guest. All right. Patrick, off we go. You know the score.

13:58to 26 as we turn to Susie so you recently met some ladies and women who compete in motorcycle
14:04road racing tell us about it well I did of all the years I've been involved in motorsport and bike
14:10racing and car racing I've never been to a road race a race that takes part place on on actual
14:16roads on lanes with road furniture like trees and gate posts and and everything's still there
14:21before you so you can imagine how terrifying this is on these country lanes and they do it in in
14:27Ireland they have 10 races and I got the opportunity to go to Cookstown just outside
14:32Belfast in Northern Ireland and I made a documentary called Queens of the Road and it was based very
14:37much on on three girl races and they're all incredibly different so I wasn't really quite
14:44sure what I was going to expect but so friendly the people welcomed me into the paddock and met
14:49three incredible girls a young girl called Melissa who's from Northern Ireland mid-twenties
14:55kind of probably the girl that you would expect to be doing something like that grown up in that
14:59environment but just shy of five feet and there she is clambering onto her big bike going out and
15:05riding with the guys the second girl that I met was a girl called Veronica she was from the Czech
15:13Republic and she came over in a truck with her boyfriend whenever they had any spare time to come
15:18racing in Ireland and had been adopted by the locals as well so they'd fallen in love with with Ireland
15:23but I think it was the third lady that I met that that really raised my eyebrows she's called Yvonne
15:30and she's 60 years old and she didn't ride a motorcycle until she was 47 so she said to me
15:37I
15:38have never been happier in my life than now racing at 60 years old and she was softly spoken really
15:46sweet
15:46just the most fabulous woman that you could ever meet so yeah it was fascinating to go and be a
15:53part of that
15:53grassroot stuff brilliant

19:35Lots of that about.
19:37Yeah.
19:42Now, numbers have come round again.

25:30And let's give them the rest as Susie entertains us with her wonderful origins of words.
25:36Yes, Susie?
25:36We'll have to thank Ron Bamford, who emailed in and asked where the expression fobbed off comes from.
25:45And I have been delving into this.
25:47There's an excellent website run by Gary Martin, and he is a true word detective.
25:52And I have to give him credit for some of the details in this, because it's quite interesting.
25:55You have to go back to a pleasant May morning, 1381.
25:58And the King's tax collector, who was seen as being a real meanie, unsurprisingly, John Brampton, rode into the Essex
26:06village of Fobbing.
26:08And he was there to collect the poll tax of three groats from each and every one of the villages.
26:15Understandably, they were not best pleased.
26:17And it's said that they rose up.
26:20They sent him packing.
26:21And so the peasants' revolt began.
26:24If you ask anyone in the village there, they might well tell you that story, that he was fobbed off.
26:29In other words, he was packed away and fobbed off with nothing in his pockets.
26:34But sadly, and this is often the case with phrases that you'll hear from your local tourist office, it's not
26:40true.
26:41And you have to go back to the 16th century, so a long time ago, where fob meant to delude
26:47or to deceive, pretty much the same meaning as today.
26:51And that was some 200 years after Brampton was sent packing from the village of Fobbing.
26:56The word probably comes from Germany, which is foppen, their word there.
27:00And that meant exactly the same thing, to cheat somebody, to hoax them.
27:04And the English playwright Robert Greene used the term in some romantic prose.
27:08This is 1583, and he said, I will not fob you with fair words and foul deeds.
27:13So that sounds pretty familiar.
27:14Now, he was best known for a pamphlet that he wrote where he attacked Shakespeare.
27:20But nonetheless, Shakespeare was quite happy to pick the word up, and he used fobbed in a speech by Mistress
27:25Quickly.
27:26That's in Henry IV, part two.
27:27I have borne and borne and borne, have been fobbed off and fobbed off and fobbed off from this day
27:32to that day, that it is a shame to be thought on.
27:35So, sadly, nothing to do with the village of Fobbing, lovely as that would be.
27:40Shakespeare knew that, probably, and has everything to do with the simple idea of trickery and deception, much as it
27:46is today.
27:47Very interesting.
27:51Thank you so much.
27:5351, please.
27:5436.
27:54Patrick, on 51.

29:07Five and six?
29:08Six.
29:09Richard?
29:10Scone.
29:11Now then.
29:13Incest?
29:15Incest?
29:15Yes.
29:17Absolutely fine.
29:18And Susie?
29:20Um, townies.
29:21That's what my mum used to say, she was a townie,
29:24because she came from the town rather than the country.
29:26Anything else, Susie?
29:27Very good.
29:28There is a secento, S-E-I-C-E-N-T-O.
29:31That will give you an eight.
29:32The style of Italian art and literature of the 17th century.
29:36All right.
29:38Thank you for that.
29:4257 to 36, Patrick in the lead.
29:44Patrick, final letters game.

30:55Patrick?
30:56Taylor?
30:57Now Richard.
30:59Vittler?
30:59V-I-T-T-L-E-R?
31:02Um, E-R.
31:05Sadly, it isn't there.
31:06It was not a bad guess at all,
31:08because Vittler used to be a variant spelling of,
31:11we pronounce it Vittles, but Victuals.
31:13But Vittler is not there.
31:15Bad luck.
31:16Bad luck, Richard.
31:17Bad luck indeed.
31:18So 62 to 36.
31:21And Susie in the corner?
31:22Virile for six.
31:25Yep, six is the best Nick Litter as well.
31:27Just sixes.
31:28All right.
31:29So into the final numbers game.
31:31Good luck, Richard.
31:33One large and five small again, please, Rachel.
31:36Same again.
31:37Thank you, Richard.
31:38And the final numbers game of today is five, nine, six,
31:44another six, three, and 75.
31:48And this target, 787.
31:51787.
31:52Thank you, shut them up.
31:52787.
32:20787.
32:23Richard?
32:24No, I've lost it.
32:26How about Patrick?
32:27No, I lost the two.
32:29We're going to have to rely, as we do from time to time, with Rachel.
32:33Is it possible, Rachel?
32:35I've got to run away, so leave it with me, Nick.
32:37Certainly will.
32:38All right, so 62 to 36.
32:40Patrick on 62 as we go into the final round.
32:44Gentlemen, fingers on buzzers.
32:46Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.

33:13Let's see whether you're right.
33:17Well done.
33:18Very good.
33:23I'm pretty quick with it, as well.
33:25Pretty quick with it.
33:26Eight seconds.
33:27Not bad.
33:2862 to 46.
33:30And so it is, Richard, that today is not your lucky day.
33:34No, I've enjoyed it very much.
33:35I'm glad you have.
33:36Well done, Patrick.
33:38I'll come to you in a second.
33:39Richard, you take this goodie bag with our very best wishes.
33:41Thank you very much.
33:42Thank you very much indeed for coming.

34:0975 minus 9 is 66.
34:12Divided by 3 is 22.
34:15Times those together for 792 and take away the 5.
34:19Well done.
34:24Never fogged.
34:25Thank you, Rachel.
