00:31Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, I don't know, maybe they think Pete Townshend's coming back,
00:38but some engineers decided that they would build, Rachel, an indestructible guitar.
00:43Remember, you used to smash them up.
00:44Right.
00:45Expensive sort of pastime, really.
00:46Anyway, these engineers, in a sense, they were showcasing the advantages of metal 3D printing,
00:53and they wanted to sort of demonstrate that, actually, they could make a guitar that was incapable of being destroyed,
00:58even if it was bashed against hard surfaces, and they did it.
01:01It was absolutely extraordinary.
01:03They used titanium 3D printing to manufacture all the components and build this guitar,
01:07and then they tried to destroy it, and they couldn't.
01:09Mind you, they didn't give it to Pete Townshend, so there's still that little test afterwards.
01:14But it's quite extraordinary.
01:15Apparently, you can sort of, heaven forbid that it'll ever come to fruition, but you can 3D print a gun
01:21that works.
01:22Well, more interesting than that, you can 3D print organs now.
01:25Is that right?
01:26Yeah, they've done it.
01:27I think some researchers in Israel have made something or other, but hopefully it will really help with organ transplant
01:35and all sorts of stuff.
01:35You can print actual human tissue.
01:37It's incredible.
01:38Amazing.
01:39Amazing.
01:40Science, there's no end to it.
01:41It'll go on and on and on.
01:42It's extraordinary.
01:44Nothing's impossible, it seems.
01:46Nothing's impossible.
01:47Do you hear that, Sarah?
01:49Nothing's impossible.
01:50You could come through and become an OctoChamp.
01:53Mind you, the way you gamble, I'm not sure about this.
01:55Anyway, Sarah DeLapp, marketing officer from Gateshead, works at the University of Newcastle.
02:00Yeah, that's right.
02:01And you've got three good wins tucked under your belt.
02:04I didn't mean to tease you, because you're playing very, very well.
02:06It's very true.
02:07You enjoy yourself?
02:08Yeah, very much so.
02:09Excellent.
02:09You're up against Hattie Wright, caffeine assistant and freelance proofreader, but importantly, critically, you love cricket.
02:17Absolutely.
02:18Absolutely love it.
02:19And you've taken up playing at club level.
02:20Which club is that now?
02:22It's in Whittington, a village just outside Litchfield.
02:24Excellent.
02:25Have fun today.
02:26Enjoy yourself.
02:27Enjoy yourself.
02:28Thank you very much.
02:28Think of it as being in a cricket match, both of you.
02:31Let's have a big round of applause now for Sarah and Hattie.
02:39And Susie's there.
02:41And shortly, we'll be saying farewell to this wonderful Dictionary Corner guest of ours, Annika Rice.
02:47It's been a joy having you here.
02:48Actually, I've had a lovely time.
02:50Good.
02:50You should see what goes on under the desk here.

04:18Erm, hmm, I don't think it's there, Hattie, unfortunately.
04:22Erm, if you're wearing stole, at the moment you can't be described as stalled, do I?
04:28Oh, shame.
04:29Shame.

06:11Thank you for that.
06:12And also vintages.
06:13Anything else, Susie?

06:47Three, four, three.
07:18Sarah?
07:19No, nowhere near.
07:21Hattie?
07:21Likewise, nowhere near 360.
07:23Is it possible, even?
07:25Rachel, what do you think?
07:26If you add the three and the one and times them all together,
07:29you get 480, but that's the best you could do.
07:31That's pretty good.
07:32That's pretty near, but anyway, there we are.
07:3413 plays seven, and it's time for our first Tea Time teaser,

09:44Yes, very good.
09:45Annika, what do you think?
09:46Well, I think the best we've got is idiopt.
09:49Which is, is that when you're colourblind?
09:51It is, exactly right, yeah.
09:53Somebody who's colourblind is, one term for it at least, is an idiopt.

11:14As in the tree variety.
11:16Sure.
11:17Burrito, yeah.
11:18Exactly.
11:19Shady garden alcove.
11:20That's lovely.
11:21A couple of sixes, ratios and orbits.
11:2524th place, 12.
11:26Hattie?
11:27Hattie, your numbers game.
11:29If I could have one from the top and five small, please.
11:32You can indeed.
11:32Thank you, Hattie.
11:33One large, five, little.
11:34Let's get something more sensible than that last one.
11:37This selection is six, two, one.
11:41Another one, oh dear.
11:42Three and the large one, 75.
11:44Might be OK, the target.
11:46308.
11:48308.
11:51I'm sorry.
12:12I'm sorry.
12:20Yes, Hattie?
12:213.08, Nick.
12:22Thank you. Sarah, yeah?
12:233.08.
12:23Off we go. Hattie?
12:25If we go 75 times 3 plus 1 is 300.
12:30It is.
12:30And then plus the 6 plus the 2 is 3.08.
12:33Worked out all right in the end. 3.08.
12:35And Sarah?
12:36Yeah, the same way.
12:37Yeah.
12:37Wonderful.
12:38Oh, good.
12:42So 34 to 22 sees Sarah in the lead as we turn to Annika,
12:47and we ask Annika, could you have become a Bond girl?
12:52Well, there's a story.
12:54First of all, how excited are we all about Phoebe Waller-Bridge writing
12:58or helping, you know, input into the next Bond movie?
13:02Oh, my goodness, I find that the most thrilling thing
13:04that I've heard for a long time.
13:06Because one thing she does, as we saw with Killing Eve,
13:10which I'm sure you've all watched,
13:11is she has created in Villanelle the most amazing international assassins
13:17and a millennial psychopath, extraordinary character.
13:21And also Fiona Shaw and Sandra Oh,
13:22they all have these amazing, feisty, unique individual characters.
13:28You know, it's so far removed from the old sort of Bond girl,
13:32James Bond oeuvre.
13:35And it did remind me of when I actually was called in by Cubby Broccoli
13:40to talk about the next Bond movie.
13:42So I was pretty excited.
13:43I was sort of, I think I was in my late 20s.
13:46So I charged along and we had a bit of a chat
13:49and then they put a camera in front of me.
13:52And Cubby said, so how would you feel about being a Bond girl?
13:55And I went, what?
13:57I don't want to be a Bond girl?
13:58I really, I was such an ardent feminist,
14:01while I still am, but particularly in my 20s,
14:04as you can imagine.
14:05And the thought of sort of being a Bond girl
14:07was just so bad to me.
14:10And of course, now that I'm so much older,
14:12I'm thinking, why was I, you know,
14:14I would have been in really good fun.
14:16So I'm quite cross at my younger self.
14:18But I'm very thrilled, looking forward now,
14:20that that whole genre is going to be rewritten.
14:24And the Bond girl is going to become the most coveted role
14:27for any actress to have, don't you think?
14:29It's really just going to turn it on its head.
14:31What was Cubby Broccoli's reaction to somebody saying,
14:35no, thank you, very well?
14:36He was a bit surprised.
14:37I bet he was.
14:38And I said, look, I could do all my own stunts.
14:42I want to be an international assassin or a spy,
14:46you know, hang out of a helicopter.
14:48I don't want to just sort of hang around
14:50waiting to have sex with James Bond.
14:52It just wasn't what I wanted to do at that phase of my career.
14:55You know what I mean?
14:56Anyway, but now, of course, because, you know,
14:59back in the day, all these wonderful opportunities
15:01came my way the whole time.
15:02And I was just like, no, no, no.
15:05And now I'm thinking, oh, I'd like to do the whole thing again.
15:09Maybe it would have been fun after all.
15:11I could be a Bond granny.
15:13No, you're far too young for that.
15:15Maybe I'll talk to Phoebe about that.
15:17Lovely.
15:18It's like an older Bond girl written in.
15:20Well done.
15:20But anyway.
15:26Sarah, let's just go.
15:29A vowel, please.
15:30Thank you, Sarah.
15:31E.

16:31Thank you, Sarah.
16:32Luna.
16:33And Hattie.
16:34Naylor.
16:35Yes.
16:36Both good.
16:37And in the corner?
16:38Quite useless in the corner for me, but Susie has got this.
16:43I don't even know what that means, Susie.
16:44Bit of a countdown regular, this one.
16:46It's an aileron, which is a sort of flap on an aeroplane wing.
16:50It's a kind of trailing edge of an aeroplane wing, so it's used to control the roll.
16:53OK.
16:54Before he plays 28, Sarah maintains her lead.
16:57Hattie, your leftist game now.
16:59I'll start with a vowel, please.
17:01Thank you, Hattie.
17:02I.
17:02And another.
17:03B.
17:04And another.
17:05A.
17:07And a consonant, please.
17:08R.
17:10And a vowel, please.
17:12O.
17:13And a consonant, please.
17:15C.
17:16And a consonant, please.

17:18And a consonant.

17:22And a final M.
17:25Stand by.
17:42Satshore.
17:43One time.
17:54Adjust your name.
17:55And you'll be right back.
17:55You'll be right back.
17:55And a couple of seconds, please.
17:57Well, Hattie?
17:58Seven.
17:59A seven, Sarah?
18:00Seven.
18:01Hattie?
18:02Claimed.
18:03Thank you, and?
18:04Miracle.
18:05Very good.
18:05Very good, and in fact, you could put a D on the end of that,
18:08I have miracled.
18:09Perfect.
18:09Yes, you can.
18:11Susie, anything else?
18:12Yeah, there is a nine there, Nick, in fact.
18:15It is the name of the class of antibiotics,
18:18and we probably best know erythromycin from this family,
18:22and it's a macrolide.
18:24Macrolide.
18:26APPLAUSE
18:3147 to 35, and it's Sarah's numbers game.
18:34Yes, Sarah?
18:35Er, two large and four small, please.
18:38Gone away from the six small this time.
18:40It's all right.
18:40Tried it, didn't like it.
18:41Might come back to it later.
18:42Right, the four little ones are 10, 7, 5, and 10,
18:47and the big two, 25 and 100.
18:50And the target, 945.
18:54945.
18:54TPA 5.
19:23TPA 5.
19:24Well, Sarah?
19:26Um, 935.
19:29Just in. Hattie?
19:30950, I think.
19:32Yes, let's try.
19:34100 times 10 is 1,000.
19:36Yep.
19:37Minus 25 is 975.
19:42Um, 7 times 5 is 35.
19:45It is.
19:47No, I've gone wrong, sorry.
19:49You gave me 950.
19:50That is 940.
19:52Rather than your 950.
19:53That's right.
19:54Oh, what a shame.
19:55What a shame.
19:56Sarah?
19:56I've declared wrong as well, sorry.
19:58Have you?
19:58Yeah.
19:59Oh, that's a relief, Hattie.
20:01Let's rely on Rachel.
20:02Rachel, what is this 945 that's proving such a nightmare?
20:06Sorry to rub it into Hattie, but you did have a spare 10 you could have added on there.
20:10Oh.
20:10Very honest.
20:11Oh, no.
20:12And what you could have said was 100 minus 10 plus 7 is 97.
20:18Times that by the other 10 for 970 and take away the 25.
20:23Yes.
20:28Thank you, Rachel, for unravelling that, my word.
20:31And now it's time for our second Tea Time teaser, which is One Crocus.
20:36And the clue?
20:37The series of lessons for the prisoner was held in this area.
20:41The series of lessons for the prisoner was held in this area.

21:01The series of lessons for the prisoner was held in this area.
21:05It was held on the concourse.
21:08Concourse.
21:1047 to 35.
21:12You're not beat yet, Hattie, not by a long show.
21:15It's your letters game.

21:44Stand by.
21:45KIDS médias.
21:47KIDS.
21:49Are you kidding?
22:07Do you ever have any problems on leisure?
22:09I'm not.
22:13You're OK.
22:15I'm not.
22:16Hattie.
22:17Five, Nick.
22:18A five, Sarah.
22:19Six.
22:20And a six, Hattie.
22:22Last.
22:23Yes, Sarah.
22:24Cubist.
22:27Um, I think that is fine.
22:29Yes, I thought it might be a capital C, but it's not, sorry.
22:32They're very, very good.
22:33Annika.
22:34Halibut.
22:36A nice halibut.
22:38Yes.
22:38I know that would be nice, wouldn't it?
22:40I'm quite peckish after all this hard work.
22:43And Susie?
22:43Uh, no, the hallie in there is holy.
22:46So it was a holy butt, not the butt that we know today, but a flatfish, because it was
22:49only eaten on holy days.
22:51Well, that's true.
22:52A holy butt.
22:54Fifty-three to thirty-five, Sarah.
22:56Your letters came.
22:59Uh, consonant, please.
23:00Thank you, Sarah.
23:01D.
23:02And another.

23:07E.
23:07Another.

23:12Uh, consonant.

23:14And another.
23:15N.
23:17And another.
23:18R.
23:19And a final vowel, please.
23:21A final O.
23:23Stand by.
23:24R.
23:24So what?
23:51A final vowel, please.
23:55Sarah.
23:56Try a seven.
23:57Thank you, Hattie.
23:58Five again.
23:59And your five is?
24:01Fried.
24:02Fried.
24:03That's right.
24:03Sarah.
24:04Foodier?
24:05Oh.
24:06Um.
24:08No, it can be a foodie, but not foodier than the next person, I'm afraid.
24:12Sorry.
24:12Now then, the corner.
24:14Fronted.
24:15Yes.
24:16Yeah, that's the best we could do.
24:18Seven, that's it.
24:19Nothing else?
24:19It's really tricky, isn't it?
24:21Fifty-three, page 40, and Susie, we turn to you for your origins of words.
24:27I have an email from Bill Salomon in Cambridge, and it's the kind of email that linguists love,
24:33but that might send the geek needle into the red.
24:35So just bear with me.
24:36I hope I don't lose you along the way.
24:37But he asks if I can demystify words beginning with WH, which are often questioning words
24:43like why, when, and where.
24:45And I'm asked that sometimes, I'm more often asked why all our negative words start with
24:52an N, never, not, neither, et cetera.
24:56And you have to go right back to the, almost to the beginnings of language, really, and
25:00the Indo-European languages.
25:02So those are about 3,000 years old, but their ancestor, which we've had to completely reconstruct
25:08because there's no evidence of this whatsoever, but there is enough evidence that you can kind
25:12of piece together.
25:13It's almost like an invented language, but which is based on reality.
25:16And that's called Proto-Indo-European.
25:19And that's believed to have been spoken well before 4,000 BC, in a region to the north
25:24and south of the Black Sea.
25:26Lots of branches in there.
25:27You'll find Indic, which includes Sanskrit, Iranian, Armelian, Italic, which includes Latin
25:34and the Romance languages, Celtic.
25:36I could go on, but Germanic is in there.
25:39And Germanic is the one that we're interested in because that includes English, German, Dutch,
25:42et cetera.
25:43And if you look at the Proto-Indo-European language, you'll find that all their questions
25:48begin with a Q, W.
25:50And somehow that morphed into all those different families into various different letters, but
25:56they're all consistent across the questioning words.
25:58So in English, it's W, H, as Bill says.
26:02In French, it's a Q, so you have quoi, laquelle, et cetera.
26:07In German, you have a D, so you have ver, varum, et cetera.
26:10In Welsh and Cornish and Breton, you have a P.
26:12So they've all changed, but all of them are consistent.
26:15They start with the same letter.
26:16And it's probably simply because of a logic, of some kind of internal logic, that we will
26:21always start our questions with, in terms of the questioning words, with a consistent
26:26letter right across them.
26:28It's just, that's as much as we can tell, sort of human logic at play there.
26:32And the reason negative words in English tend to begin with an N is because most of them
26:37began life as contractions of other things.
26:40So not is nay, meaning not ought.
26:44Nay, ever was never.
26:46Nay, either was neither.
26:47Nay, or was nor.
26:49Nay, one was none, et cetera.
26:50So they all kind of squashed together.
26:52And again, it's that logic that we all started with, that negative prefix.
26:56And that kind of shortening is quite common.
26:58I'll just end with one last bit before I lose you all together.
27:01But when we talk about something that is alone or somebody that's alone, that used to be all
27:07one.
27:08And we put those two together.
27:09And eventually the A dropped off and we got lonely as well.
27:13So it's a complicated thing, language.
27:15But the thing I love about it is that that kind of WH, it starts with all our questions,
27:19has its basis in a language that was well, you know, spoken in 4000 BC, which is quite
27:25mind-blowing, I think.
27:26I love that.
27:28It's a question.
27:35Dr. Dent.
27:36Oh, no, sorry, very geeky.
27:38Amazing.
