00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Here we are, Friday, heading towards the weekend.
00:36Maybe a good time for some to go down and meet new people.
00:39And that is exactly the objective of something called Silver Sunday, founded way back in 2012, Rachel.
00:47It's very interesting, this.
00:48And it was at that time discovered that something like a third of the over-75s were lonely.
00:55And I can understand that.
00:56I'm over-75, and more and more of our friends, I guess, are being sort of widowed.
00:59And on Sunday, something like 1,000 events will take place all over the country.
01:06Dances and Tai Chi lessons, all sorts and sorts of other things.
01:10And last year, something like 50,000 over 75 sort of checked in, made new friends, joined new classes, joined
01:18new groups.
01:19And what a wonderful thing.
01:21Yeah.
01:21Excellent.
01:22I think the elderly, of which I can myself remember, are more adventurous.
01:27However, we've invested in chickens.
01:30Chickens?
01:30Well, we started with six chickens.
01:31The fox took three of them.
01:32Three.
01:32But nonetheless, we're bringing more in.
01:34It was two at last count.
01:36You've had three now.
01:37No, one came back.
01:38Have you tried to hypnotise any of the chickens?
01:41No.
01:42Have you seen that?
01:43You can draw a line down the pavement in chalk or something, and these chickens, videos of them just staring
01:48at it.
01:48Try it.
01:49Go home and hypnotise chickens.
01:50Well, we've got some paving stones that could do that.
01:53I love to pick them up and put them under my arm.
01:56It's lovely.
01:56Oh, OK.
01:57When you approach them, they sort of, they go right down low.
02:01And then you just scoop them up and put them under your arm.
02:03They're lovely.
02:04Maybe that's why one ran away.
02:05Maybe.
02:07Rachel, who's here?
02:08Paul Nixon is back, having scored a brilliant 126 yesterday from Surbiton and Actuary.
02:16Great win.
02:16Your fourth.
02:18Brilliant.
02:18And now you're confronted with Helen Millington, a full-time mum from Blagari in Perthshire.
02:25Are you telling me that Blagari is the centre, the world centre of berry growing?
02:31It's pretty famous for berries.
02:33Isn't that amazing?
02:33All sorts of berries.
02:34Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries.
02:38Brilliant.
02:38But it wasn't berries you were after when you took your husband and your two young children on a 4
02:44,000-mile trek round Europe.
02:46We did.
02:47We had a little road trip.
02:49We thought, let's challenge ourselves.
02:51Went all down to southern Italy, back through Switzerland, France, Germany, Luxembourg.
02:56Lovely.
02:57Well, listen, have a lovely journey today, as it were, both of you.
03:01Big round of applause for Paul and Helen.
03:09And over in the corner, Susie, of course, and joined once again with doctor and comedian, Dr. Phil.
03:15What about this silver sundae?
03:17No, I'm loving the silver sundaes.
03:18There was some research somewhere that showed that being lonely was as emotionally distressing as being punched by a stranger.
03:25Really?
03:25Isn't it an interesting comparison, isn't it?
03:27Because there's a huge amount of distress.
03:29But some people aren't lonely.
03:30You get other people who are very gregarious as they get older, and they want fewer friends.
03:33They don't want to be holding dinner parties all the time.
03:35So it's sort of swings and roundabouts.
03:37But there's nothing you can't do.
03:39Excellent.
03:39The only limits are in your imagination.
03:41Thanks, Phil.
03:42Now, Paul, off we go.
03:44Hi, Rachel.
03:45Hi, Paul.
03:45Can I start with a vowel, please?
03:47Start today with O.

04:46Well, Paul?
04:47I think I'll try a nine.
04:51It's a fair start.
04:52Helen?
04:53Just a six, I'm afraid.
04:54And your six is?
04:55Finger.
04:56Now, there's nine you're going to try.
04:59Coverings?
05:00Yes.
05:00Covering is there as a noun.
05:01Well done.

05:03Well done.
05:11That's a left hook.
05:13That really is.
05:15Now then.
05:15Coverings was our top one.
05:17That's it?
05:18Yep.
05:19So, Helen.
05:21We're going to have to fight back now, Helen.

06:36Strode.
06:37Your eight, Paul.
06:38Readouts.
06:41Yes, readouts.
06:42I was wondering whether it would be hyphenated,
06:43but it's in there as one word.
06:44Very well done.
06:45Well done.
06:46And in the corner, anything else?
06:53I have outstared, which I think you'll find us a nine.

08:084 times 25.
08:096 plus 1 is 7?
08:10Yeah.
08:11Multiply.
08:12Straight forward, 700.
08:13And Helen, same way?
08:14Yeah, same way.
08:15There we go.
08:16OK.
08:21So, there we are.
08:23Helen's safely away.

08:25Ball's 36.
08:26As we go in to our first tea time teaser, which is Ice, Die, Wed.
08:31And the clue?
08:32It sounds like both of us made the joint decision to put lots of chemicals on the garden path.
08:38It sounds like both of us make the joint decision to put lots of chemicals on the garden path.
09:00And the answer to that one is we decide.

10:38Er, should be able to spell it with a Z.
10:41Er, we can. Z or the S.
10:43Yeah, very good.
10:43Well done.
10:45APPLAUSE
10:51Good score.
10:54And in the corner?
10:55You can put the S on, Coalise, because it's a verb,
10:57so that will give you an eight.
10:58Ooh.
10:59But still, very well done.
11:01It certainly was.
11:0236 plays 17.

12:13Oh, well done.
12:14I'm very pleased about that.
12:16Paul?
12:18Ruminates.
12:19And ruminates.
12:28Two nines would have been too much.
12:31Now, your nine in the corner.
12:33Ooh, is that a nine?
12:35Anti-serum?
12:36Anti-serum.
12:36Anti-serum is a nine.
12:38Susie got that.
12:38It's raining nines.
12:40It's amazing.
12:41It's extraordinary, that, isn't it?
12:42Yeah.
12:4254 to 35.
12:44Helen, your numbers game now.
12:46One from the top and any other five.
12:49Thank you, Helen, potentially playing it safe.
12:51Let's see how this one goes.
12:54The five little ones are four, eight, six, two, and ten all even.
13:01And the large one, 75.
13:03And the target, 443.
13:054-4-3.

13:37Helen.
13:384, 4, 6.
13:404, 4, 6 and Paul?
13:424, 4, 3.
13:44Yes, Paul.
13:4575 minus 2.
13:4775 minus 2, 73.
13:49Times 6.
13:50Is 438.
13:52Then 8 divided by 4 is 2.
13:54Yep.
13:55And then 10 divided by that 2 is 5.
13:58Well done.
13:584, 4, 3.
14:00APPLAUSE
14:04So, Paul, 64 to Helen's 35 as we sweep our gaze towards Dr Phil.
14:11There you are.
14:12Hello.
14:13What have you got for us today?
14:14My hero at the moment is Jacinda Arden, who is the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
14:19And the reason she's amazing, well, many reasons she's amazing,
14:22but one of them is that instead of having an economic budget saying we must pursue economic growth,
14:28she's had a health and well-being budget.
14:30She says, our planet can't cope with the amount of economic growth it has,
14:33so we should focus instead on health and well-being, which I think is fascinating.
14:37But it is interesting, as I've said before, that it's very hard actually defining health.
14:41And the two definitions I quite like, health is our ability to adapt to change, particularly bad change.
14:46How do we bounce back when a bad thing happens in our life?
14:49That's like an evolutionary definition.
14:51And the other is our freedom to live a life that we have reason to value, which requires a bit
14:56of thought.
14:56The thing is, how does that equate to babies?
14:58If you ask a baby, are they free to live a life that they have reason to value, they'll look
15:03at you like that.
15:04And rather unbelievably, this is baby Phil.
15:06Can you believe that?
15:08So one of the other ways of looking at health, I think particularly with kids, is I call it the
15:12seed and the soil.
15:14If you ask children, if children plant a seed, they get obsessed with their seed and they can't understand why
15:18it isn't growing.
15:19And sometimes it's because they've planted a marble instead of a seed, so it's not going to grow.
15:23But they forget actually that 90% of our health is down to the soil and not the seed.
15:28So about 10% of it is probably genetic.
15:3090% of it is the environment we find ourselves.
15:33This is me at seven, altogether slightly different.
15:35Still, I'd moved to Australia by that stage, and I loved, I was a little Australian boy, I used to
15:41run out in the bush.
15:42In those days, kids took risks.
15:44We're very safe with our kids these days, and they shut themselves in their rooms, and they flip backwards and
15:49forwards, don't they, on their screens.
15:50And yet they don't go out, they don't experiment, they don't take risks.
15:53So although kids will say, I want to be safe, it's also really important that you let them take risks.
15:58The last thing I'll say is that we asked kids in 2005 what they wanted to do to be healthy.
16:05So there was a programme called Every Child Matters, and the Labour government brought it in.
16:09And there was a number of child abuse scandals, and they wanted to focus on every single child, and so
16:13they heard the voice of children.
16:15You listen to kids and ask them what they think they need to be healthy.
16:17They said, well, being physically healthy is really important.
16:20Staying safe, enjoying life and achieving through learning, making a positive contribution to society,
16:27and not having to worry about money.
16:29Isn't that interesting?
16:30So this is what kids came up with.
16:31That's actually what we all need.
16:33So as well as Every Child Matters, I think everybody matters.
16:36So one of my political parties, what I call the Radical Inclusion Party, or the Rippers.
16:41Doesn't sound so good, the Rippers, does it?
16:43But radical inclusion, I think, is important.
16:44So yes, our lives matter.
16:46Yes, we're really lucky.
16:47But let's share the luck and love so that everybody matters.
16:51Yes, sir.
16:57Very good.
16:58So, 64 to 35, Paul in the lead.
17:02Paul, your letters came now.

24:44Well, Paul?
24:45Er, eight, I think.

24:48Helen?
24:49Seven.
24:50And your seven is?
24:51Major.
24:53A joiner?
24:55No.
24:55A joiner.
24:56Very, very good.
24:57Yeah, it's one piece of land that adjoins another.
25:00Well done.
25:01Very good.
25:02Really good.
25:06Takes you over the hundred mark,
25:08one hundred and three to forty-five.
25:11And now, Susie, it's your origins of word slot.
25:14Off you go.
25:15Thanks, Nick.
25:16Well, I have an email from Irene Burnett,
25:19who asks,
25:20why when we book tickets for a bus,
25:21do we go to the ticket office,
25:23but when we book tickets for a show,
25:24we go to the box office?
25:27Look in the Oxford English Dictionary,
25:29which is always my first point of call,
25:30and you will find an entry in a diary from 1796,
25:35first printed record of the term box office.
25:38After we had nearly reached the box office,
25:40a cry of pickpocket raised a general confusion.
25:44At this time, the box office meant exactly that.
25:47It was an office or a kiosk where tickets could be purchased
25:49for the hiring of a theatre box.
25:52Anyone who wanted admission to the general stalls
25:54or anywhere else would go to the simple ticket office.
25:57So it was reserved really for the aristocrats, if you like,
26:01or the wealthy who could afford to go to this particular office.
26:04It was much less busy and kept aside for those
26:07who had reserved the most expensive seats.
26:10Over time, distinction faded,
26:12and the box office became really the primary term
26:14for the place where any seats could be booked.
26:16And then, about a century later,
26:18it took on the extended meaning of the financial element
26:22of a movie or a performance
26:25and the size of the paying audience.
26:27You might say it took a million at the box office, for example.
26:31So it was as simple as that, really, fairly transparent.
26:33But far away from the boxes, in terms of price,
26:36were the so-called gods, up in the gods,
26:39simply named, as you would expect,
26:41because they were so high up
26:42that they were thought to be close to the heavens.
26:45And then you had the peanut gallery.
26:47The peanut gallery housed the cheapest seats of all,
26:50and it was generally thought that this was the most rowdy section
26:53of the audience, where they had a lot to drink,
26:55they had a really good time,
26:57and peanuts were a particularly popular snack in vaudeville theatre.
27:00And any really unpopular act might find themselves
27:03pelted with peanuts by disgruntled spectators.
27:07So all hell broke loose very often in the peanut gallery.
27:09Which reminds me of one of my favourite words, Origins,
27:12which you'll have heard before, probably, exploding.
27:15To explode someone off the stage in Roman theatre
27:17was to slow hand clap them,
27:19make a lot of noise by clapping them off the stage.
27:21So explode and applaud were actually linked,
27:25so go back to the same latter verb, plaudere.
27:27And they made such a noise
27:29by chasing these poor performers off the stage
27:32because explosions came to mean some kind of detonation
27:34and to make a very loud bang.
27:36Excellent.
27:43Wonderful.
27:44Wonderful, as always.
27:46103 plays 45.
