00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:33Now, who amongst you would dare to open an umbrella indoors, walk under a ladder, or a new one on
00:39me, a new superstition on me?
00:42Apparently, it's very bad form to put new shoes on a table.
00:46Anyway, it's all about superstitions, which I think are crackers, but anyway, we'll come to that in a minute.
00:51There is a certain set of people who are allegedly notoriously superstitious.
00:56That's sports stars, sports stars, and you're a sports person.
01:00You may add to the ones I'm about to tell you about.
01:03Stringley Williams, apparently, wears the same sock right through a tournament.
01:06She presumably squeezes them out overnight.
01:09Mo Farah shaves his head before every race, which is something to do with aerodynamics, I imagine.
01:14And Cristiano Ronaldo has to step on the pitch with his right foot first.
01:22So, I walk under ladders as frequently as possible, and I'm constantly wandering around the house with an open umbrella,
01:29because I find it nuts.
01:32It doesn't do with a leak in the ceiling.
01:34But I spurn superstition.
01:37What about you?
01:37I can just imagine you walking around with a parasol for no reason at all.
01:42That's sweet of you.
01:42Anyway, go on.
01:43What about you?
01:44I don't know.
01:45I do the ones that everyone does.
01:46If I give someone a purse, I'd always put some money in it.
01:49And you can't give knives as a present either.
01:51You have to buy them back.
01:52But I think it's more tradition than superstition.
01:54I don't think anything's going to happen.
01:55You're a very rational person.
01:57I'm a very rational person.
01:58But my dad did wear.
01:59He had a 1990s, I think it was, Black Man United kit, which for about 10, 15 years, he had
02:06to wear every game.
02:08Is that right?
02:09Until at some point he gave up with it.
02:10But we had a good period over that.
02:12So, it could be all down to my dad for all I know.
02:14It worked.
02:15Well done.
02:15All right.
02:16Let's see whether we've got some superstition or indeed lucky people here.
02:20We've got Tony Manwani back, Rachel, training an HR consultant from Reading.
02:25Big first win yesterday, 98 points.
02:28Terrific way to kick things off.
02:30So, well done to you.
02:31You've now got to overcome Pamela Threlfel, an office manager from Blackburn, who has a passion for travel and cycling.
02:40Tell us a little bit about it.
02:41Where have you pedalled?
02:42I had a cycling holiday around Cuba.
02:45Yes.
02:46And one to Costa Rica.
02:47That's a good start.
02:49Were you on your own or in a group?
02:51No, in a group.
02:52It was an organised tour.
02:53In a sort of peloton.
02:54Yeah, OK.
02:55And Cuba.
02:56That would be fun.
02:57Where were you staying?
02:58Because there aren't that many hotels in Cuba from memory.
03:00In little hotels.
03:02Yeah.
03:02Started in Havana.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Went to the whole island.
03:05It's a great, great country.
03:07Lovely people, too.
03:08Yeah.
03:08Well done.
03:09All right.
03:09Well, good luck to you both.
03:10Let's have a big round of applause for Tony and Pamela.
03:18And over in the corner, Susie Dent, of course.
03:21Joined for the first time.
03:23Wonderful.
03:23Making her debut.
03:24The governess herself.
03:26Professional quizzer and chaser.
03:28The great Anne Hegarty.
03:29Welcome, Anne.
03:36The governess.
03:37I feel very nervous.
03:39I'm really going to behave.
03:42Now, then.

04:58Yes, both five.
04:59Can we beat six, Anne and Susie?
05:03We actually have seven.
05:05We have Mermaid.
05:07Mermaid.
05:07Mm.
05:08And the end, Susie?
05:09No, that was the best that we could do.
05:10Lots of sixes otherwise.
05:11It'll do.
05:12Mermaid.
05:13Thank you for that.
05:14Six apiece.
05:14And Pamela.
05:16Off we go.
05:17Hi, Rachel.
05:17Hi, Pamela.
05:18Start with a consonant, please.

05:53Stand by.
05:54And a consonant.
06:12And a consonant.
06:12And a consonant.
06:12And a consonant.
06:13And a consonant.
06:13And a consonant.
06:13And a consonant.
06:13And a consonant.
06:16And a consonant.
06:24Pamela?
06:25Seven.
06:26Seven, Tony?
06:27Yep, seven.
06:28Pamela?
06:28Outsell.
06:30And?
06:30Pallets.
06:31Now, we're up to sevens now.
06:33Anne and Susie?
06:34Anne?
06:35Um, Apostle.
06:38Yep, that'll give you another seven.
06:39Pulse eight also there.
06:40And Pullets, young hens less than one year old.
06:45Thirteen apiece.
06:47So, Tony, first numbers game of the day.
06:49Off we go.
06:50Yeah, six more ones, please.
06:51Six little ones to get you off unlucky.
06:53Give us some thirteen.
06:54Let's see.
06:55Thank you, Tony.
06:56First one of the day.
06:57Three, four, five, three, nine, and seven.
07:03And the target?
07:05593.
07:07593.
07:09593.
07:39Tony?
07:40Yeah, 594.
07:42594.
07:42Pamela?
07:43Nothing on that.
07:45No?
07:45Let's stick with Tony, then.
07:47Um, five times the three is fifteen.
07:50Yep.
07:50Plus the seven is twenty-two.
07:52Multiply by three is sixty-six.
07:55The other three, yep.
07:56Multiply by the nine.
07:57And multiply that by the nine for one away.
08:00Close, but not quite perfect.
08:02593.
08:02Rachel, can we turn to you?
08:04You can, indeed.
08:05If you say nine times three is twenty-seven, plus the other three is thirty, five times four
08:13is twenty, times those together for six hundred, and you conveniently have a seven left over.
08:18Oh, well done.
08:19Well done, Rachel.
08:22As ever.
08:23So, Tony takes the lead.
08:25Twenty points to thirteen.
08:26Pamela on thirteen as we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Holy Ox Tip.
08:31And the clue?
08:32If you love the archers, you'll probably know all about this.
08:36If you love the archers, you'll probably know all about this.
08:55Welcome back.
08:55And after the clue, if you love the archers, you'll probably know all about this.
08:59And the answer to that one, brace yourself, Susie, is Toxophily.
09:05Toxophily?
09:05Yes.
09:06Poisons or something?
09:07Toxophily is the love of archery, essentially.
09:10So, Toxon was a bow.
09:14Intoxicate used to be to kill somebody with a poison arrow.
09:17So, yes, all linked.
09:19So, the scores are twenty to Tony and Pamela on thirteen.
09:22Pamela, your letters go.
09:25Consonant, please.
09:26Thank you, Pamela.

10:32And your seven is?

10:53Well done.

12:22Anything else?
12:23Yeah, we were counting as well, otherwise counted.
12:26OK, Pamela on 28.

12:34Thank you, Pamela.
12:35One from the top throw, five not from the top throw.
12:37And this time, your selection is four, three, five, six, ten, and fifty.
12:45And the target to reach 914.

13:20Well, Pamela?
13:22914.
13:23And Tony?
13:24Yeah, 914.
13:25Now then, Pamela.

13:28Six threes are 18.
13:2910 times 50.
13:30900.
13:32And add the ten and the four.
13:34Lovely.
13:34Straight four, well done.
13:35Tony?
13:36Yeah, same way.
13:37Same way?
13:38All right.
13:42Still one point only separating them as we turn to Anne, Anne Hegarty, the Governors.
13:49I hear that your appointment to that great show was something of a whirlwind, happened all
13:55of a sudden.
13:56It was.
13:56It was very unexpected.
13:58Back in the 80s, I went on Mastermind.
14:01And I found out that there is a social group called the Mastermind Club.
14:06So I joined that.
14:07And in Manchester, we used to have meetings once a month in a pub in central Manchester.
14:12And it was kind of grinding to a halt.
14:16The same people were coming along and we'd run out of things to say.
14:18So one of our number, Glenis, said, can I bring some of my Mensa friends along?
14:24So we said, fine.
14:25And so it was, let's see, about the middle of April 2009, she brought along a friend called
14:31Margaret.
14:32And Margaret told me what I'd never known before, that there was, there's a high-level
14:37quizzing circuit in the UK.
14:38And they have these big quizzes once a month.
14:41So I went to the website address, she told me.
14:44And I realised that there was one near Liverpool the following month.
14:48So I went to that.
14:49That was the beginning of May 2009.
14:51Went along to that, did the quiz.
14:53And they were auditioning for the second series of Are You an Egghead?
14:57So I auditioned for that, got on.
15:00They said they were filming like 10 days later.
15:02So middle of May, I'm suddenly in London filming this.
15:07I ended up coming third in the entire series.
15:10That sort of put me on the map.
15:12And then the following month, beginning of June 2009, I went along to the World Championships,
15:20where I was actually the second highest scoring woman in the world.
15:24And then stepped into the bar for lunch.
15:27And I'm hailed from just inside the bar by what I've since described as the largest man
15:33I'd ever seen in my life, who said, hi, my name's Mark Labette.
15:38You just beat me.
15:39Who are you?
15:40So we chatted for a bit.
15:41And he said, I've just made this.
15:43I've just made a pilot series, 10 episodes of this new show called The Chase.
15:47And you should watch it because it's going to be really good.
15:49And it was shown just a couple of weeks later.
15:50So this is end of June 2009.
15:53And I watched it and thought, wow, yeah, yeah, that's good.
15:56And then beginning of July 2009, there is another of these big quizzes.
16:02And the woman who runs the circuit says to me, did you see that show at The Chase?
16:06And I said, yes.
16:07She said, what do you think about being a chaser?
16:10And I sort of went, um, yeah, that'd be good.
16:16So she said, well, let's see if it gets picked up and I'll put your name forward.
16:19So, uh, you know, within less than three months of meeting Margaret, I'm suddenly, I'm in the frame for this
16:26job.
16:27Fantastic.
16:27And then it all just kind of, it takes them a few months to decide to pick it up.
16:31And then there's a series of auditions and so on.
16:33But basically, yeah, it was just that fast.
16:35And changed your life then too, really.
16:37Absolutely did.
16:38Fantastic.
16:38Totally.
16:38Because it's running in Australia too, is that right?
16:40Um, yeah.
16:41In Australia, they show the British show, um, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
16:45And then The Chase Australia is on at five o'clock in the afternoon.
16:49And, uh, again, there are five chasers, three Australians and me and Mark Labette.
16:55Yeah.
16:55It's a great, great show.
16:57And the host, Bradley, is brilliant.
17:00He's funny, isn't he?
17:02He's so, so good.
17:03He's a lovely bloke to work with.
17:04And he's just like basically what you see there.
17:07He can't hold himself back.
17:08He's hilarious.
17:10Oh, absolutely.
17:11Brilliant.
17:12Thanks so much, Anne.
17:13More for you.
17:17Wonderful.
17:18Now, 38 to 37.

18:38We had two sevens.

18:44Increased amounts of glowiness.
18:45Yeah.

18:49Thank you for that.
18:51Anything else, Susie?
18:52No.
18:53Cowgirl.
18:54Yep.
18:5543.
18:56Look, Tony's broken away a little bit.
18:57Not much in it, really.

19:00Pamela.

20:06An eight.
20:07Tony.
20:08Seven.
20:09You're seven?
20:10Sanders.
20:11Now then, Pamela.
20:12A thunder.
20:13A thunder is absolutely fine, but it's a seven rather than an eight.
20:20Oh, sorry, Pamela.
20:22Oh, the pain.
20:23Anne?
20:26Yeah, we had a couple of sevens.
20:27We had Sundays.
20:28Yes.
20:30We also had Undress.
20:32Susie?
20:33No, that was it.
20:34Bad luck.
20:35A thunder was one there, so you've been two.
20:36And a thunder, yes.
20:39Fifty to thirty-eight.
20:40And now, Tony, it's your numbers game.
20:42Yep, six more again, please, Rachel.

20:46Thank you, Tony.

21:31Well, Tony?
21:32Three, nine, six.
21:34Ooh, three away. Pamela?
21:36No, nothing.
21:37No? Well, with you, Tony.
21:39OK, six multiplied by two.
21:42Twelve.
21:42And then take away the one.
21:44Eleven.
21:45And then multiply by the four and by the nine.
21:47Yep, four and the nine, you get three, nine, six.
21:51It's a winner, but not quite there.
21:54Three, nine, three, Rachel.
21:55Well, the same kind of sum more economically.
21:57If you say six times six is thirty-six, nine plus two is eleven,
22:03and then you get to Tony's three hundred and ninety-six,
22:07but you have a four minus one for you three to take off.
22:10Super.
22:15As ever, thanks, Rachel.
22:17Fifty-seven to thirty-eight, Tony in the lead,
22:19as we turn to our second tea-time teaser, which is Dr Coconut.
22:23And the clue, you'll find at one of these in a concert hall,
22:26but not on a bus.
22:27You'll find one of these in a concert hall, but not on a bus.
22:47Welcome back.

22:49I left you with the clue.

22:55You'll find a conductor in a concert hall, certainly, but no longer on a bus.

25:45Invasion.
25:45Oh, very good. Invasion. Thank you. All right. So, 70 to 51, Tony in the lead as we turn to
25:57Susie for her wonderful origins of words. Anne's linguist, you'll love this. It's a highlight. Yes, Susie, what have you
26:04got for us?
26:05I have an email from Janice Roberts, who is a very keen snooker player, and she was wondering about the
26:12origin of the word cue, the cue that you use in billiards and snooker, and also simply about the name
26:17snooker and billiards too.
26:19I'll start with cue. This cue in snooker and billiards is not the same as the actor's cue. That was
26:25actually, in Shakespearean text, you can still see it, written as the letter cue in the margins.
26:31And it was explained as a contraction for the Latin word quando, so what or when, and that's where we
26:37think the actor's cue comes from.
26:39But the cue in billiards and snooker is from the French cu, spelt like our own cue, and it simply
26:46means a horse's tail.
26:48And it was originally a sort of a buttress, if you like, or a support for the butt of a
26:55lance on a suit of armour.
26:57It was also used for a plait of hair on a wig, anything that essentially looked like a tail, which
27:04seems a little bit strange.
27:05But if you think about the shape of a snooker cue or a billiard cue and the tapering rod of
27:11wood that's used in the game, it makes sense that it looks a little bit like an animal's tail.
27:15Up until then, incidentally, the cue itself was known as the billiard in French, spelt billiard, and that's where we
27:22get our term billiards from.
27:24Snooker is a little bit trickier, a little bit more elusive for etymologists.
27:29We know that it was a really popular activity sport amongst British army officers during the riot.
27:35It was stationed in India, and there were many variations on the traditional billiard games, including a game called Pyramids,
27:42but there were very many of them.
27:43But one variation that was said to have been devised in an officer's mess in Madhya Pradesh during the 1870s
27:49added coloured balls in addition to the reds and black, which were used for pyramids.
27:55And a snooker is said to have arisen around that time because it's said that Colonel Sir Neville Chamberlain, who
28:02was an officer in the Devonshire Regiment, was playing this new game when his opponent failed to pot a ball,
28:08and he called his opponent a snooker.
28:10And snooker at that time was slang for a rookie, really, somebody who was young and inexperienced, a rookie officer.
28:17And it said that that officer, said to be a snooker, then somehow his nickname got translated or transferred over
28:24to the game itself.
28:25As I say, complicated history, slightly elusive, but that is our best guess.
28:30Wonderful. Thank you, Susan.
28:32So good.
28:36Very good. I always thought the snookers probably came from the Americans.
28:40It sounds it, doesn't it?
28:41But, yeah, there are many, many theories attached to it, but the records do show that that game took place
28:46and this officer was called a rookie, a snooker.
28:48A snooker. Neville Chamberlain, did you say?
28:50Not Neville Chamberlain.
28:52Well, yes, he was called Colonel Sir Neville Chamberlain, but I don't think he was the...
28:55He might have been an ancestor of our friend from Munich, yeah.
28:5970 plays 51, Tony on 70.
