00:30Good afternoon. Welcome to the last countdown of the week.
00:34Thank you so much for joining us.
00:36Thanks for being with us all week.
00:37Never take it for granted.
00:39And hello, Rachel.
00:40Hello, Colin.
00:41Now, we're on a roll literally today
00:43because today is a day for celebrating,
00:46albeit mainly in Sweden and Finland rather than here.
00:49But on the side, today set aside to celebrate the magic
00:52of the greatest breakfast pastry there is, the cinnamon roll.
00:57So it's Scandinavian cinnamon roll.
01:00It's weird, right?
01:01No, it's worldwide, but...
01:02Oh, OK.
01:03I mean, the United States has a very well-known chain, of course,
01:06that's all about cinnamon buns.
01:08I am a cinnamon addict.
01:10You know, I know I'm swimming in the tide of chocolate here in the UK,
01:14but I put it in everything.
01:15I put it in my coffee, my pastries, a cinnamon roll,
01:18if I can treat myself to that, all the morning.
01:21I even put a little bit in the McCurries.
01:24I lather my apple crumbles in it.
01:26But it's not loved as much in the UK, it feels.
01:30I try.
01:31I mean, every time it's, what is it, Halloween,
01:33that they get out the cinnamon lattes?
01:35Yes.
01:35And you go for it and you think, yeah, that sounds great.
01:37And you taste it and you remember why you don't have it the rest of the year.
01:39It's all taste, I suppose, but if scientists ever discover
01:43that there's this, like, amazing health benefit, the cinnamon,
01:46that's what I'm hoping, because I'll be, like, 145.
01:49I think there are.
01:50I mean, I love chucking them into a Moroccan tagine.
01:52Shall we just agree it's underrated?
01:54No.
01:55OK.
01:55Let me just introduce Dictionary Corner, then,
01:58which we liberally sprinkle over every episode of Countdown.
02:01It is our Susie Den.
02:03And we're wrapping our week up, of course,
02:04in the company of the wonderful Debbie McGee.
02:07APPLAUSE
02:09What's your go-to, Spice?
02:11Er, cinnamon.
02:13Thank you, Debbie, with an I.E.
02:15You can come back.
02:16You disappointed me, though.
02:18You gave it this great big build-up and saying that it's, you know,
02:21the celebration day.
02:22I thought you had a whole stack of them under your desk
02:24and we were all going to get one.
02:26I know, but you'd never get it if most places you went,
02:29you've got cinnamon, they'd look at you like you were strange.
02:31Yeah.
02:32Well, listen, I'll tell you who is here, Terence Newnham,
02:35who's won four so far.
02:37Halfway to becoming an Octo-Champ.
02:39Every day has been a different kind of adventure.
02:43And we've talked a lot about a lot of things.
02:45You had a break, which is always a great thing if you can get it,
02:48and you had five or six months out.
02:50You chose to spend them in South America.
02:52Why did you choose South America?
02:54It's just to be a little bit different.
02:55I knew a lot of people who had kind of done the South East Asia thing,
02:58the Vietnam, Thailand, and I felt like I'd been there,
03:00even though I hadn't been there.
03:01Yeah.
03:02So I thought, I'm going to go somewhere else.
03:03And I'd learn a little bit of Spanish, so I thought South America.
03:06Try it out.
03:07Okay, take me in the journey.
03:08Your favourite place?
03:10Ecuador, which was the last one on my round, and it's a beautiful country.
03:15It would have been even better, because at that stage,
03:17you would have been hankering to get home a little bit.
03:20Yeah, exactly.
03:20A little bit worn out, and it still was your best.
03:22Yeah, it was, and yeah, I had a terrible experience.
03:25I had all my possessions stolen on the bus to Ecuador.
03:28Oh.
03:28Overnight bus, you know, everything nixed.
03:30And I was ready to go home, but the Ecuadorian people were so nice
03:33that they encouraged me to stay.
03:35There's a reason for that, because I was reading about it scientifically.
03:39Ecuadorians are the nicest people in South America
03:41because they use the highest amount of cinnamon,
03:43and that's the reason why I care.
03:45There you go.
03:45Now I know.
03:46Your challenger today, the name's Bond, Greg Bond,
03:49and you've never heard that before, have you, in your life?
03:51Never in my life, Colin.
03:52Yeah, it's a great second name to have, though, isn't it?
03:54It's fab.
03:55So tell me who's watching at home, cheering you on today.
03:58So my wife, Amanda, and our little miniature Schnauzer, Winston.
04:02Yeah, didn't care about Amanda, just wanted to get to the dog there.
04:05Brilliant.
04:06Right, so how old's the miniature Schnauzer?
04:08He's five.
04:09He's five, goodness me.
04:10Do you have him from when he was a pup?
04:12We did.
04:13Cracking little guy.
04:13Yes.
04:14Got his own temperament, his own attitude.
04:17And is he settled now?
04:18Oh, very settled.
04:20Very settled.
04:21Rules the house.
04:22Yeah, don't you recognise your voice watching?
04:24Definitely.
04:25Yeah, I think they do, don't they?
04:26They do.
04:26From a young age.
04:28Excellent stuff.
04:29And, Greg, Terence, best of luck to both of you.
04:31OK, for our eyes only, Terence, nine letters, please.
04:36Afternoon, Rachel.
04:36Afternoon, Terence.
04:37Let's start with a consonant, please.
04:39Start today with R.
04:41And another.
04:43T.
04:44And a third.
05:08At home and in the studio last time this week.
05:11Kind of.
05:42Terence?
05:43Just a six.
05:44And Greg?
05:45Six.
05:46And a six.
05:46Here we go.
05:46Let's get you both on the board.
05:49Meteor.
05:49A meteor.
05:50And Greg?
05:51Mentor.
05:52And a mentor for a meteor, and we're on the board.
05:54Brilliant.
05:55Debbie?
05:55Yeah, I had meteor, two, and then cornet we came up with, didn't we?
06:00That was the other six.
06:01That's it?
06:02Yes.
06:03No sevens were those letters.
06:05Not that we could see.
06:05Goodness me, if you managed it at home, do let us know, as we get more letters now from Greg.
06:10A consonant, please, Rachel.
06:12Thank you, Greg.
06:13S.
06:14And another.
06:16T.
06:17And a third.
06:19C.
06:20And a vowel, please.
06:22O.
06:23And another.
06:24U.
06:25And a third.
06:27A.
06:27And a consonant.
06:29R.
06:30And a vowel.
06:33O.
06:34And a final consonant, please.
06:35Final H.
06:3730 seconds.
06:3830 seconds.
07:09Just a five. And for you, Terence? Six.
07:12OK, the five, Greg, is... South. And the six?
07:15Starch. And starch.
07:18A nice, stiff six from you.
07:21Debbie? We've got a stiffer seven, I'm afraid.
07:24Cahoots. Cahoots? In cahoots.
07:27You're in cahoots. That's right, it's two of them.
07:29They are in cahoots, so no wonder they're getting longer words.
07:33All right, 12 plays six.
07:34It's a slight lead for Terence, and it's your numbers.
07:37Thank you. Let's go two large, four small, please.
07:40Let's. Thank you, Terence.
07:41Two large for a little first one of the day.
07:44And the little ones are six, nine, five and eight.
07:49And the big one, 75 and 25.
07:52And the target for you to reach 338.
07:55338. Numbers up.
08:25138. New England.
08:273-3-8, the target. Terence?
08:31No, 3-4-1. OK, so just three away, though, Greg?
08:34Nowhere. Nowhere. So that's seven points, Terence.
08:38OK, 75 times 5. 75 by 5, 3-7-5.
08:42Yeah, minus the 25. 350. And minus the 9.
08:46Yep, three above.
08:47Rachel, take me to Broadway.
08:5175 minus 25 is 50.
08:53Add 5 for 55.
08:56And then you can times that by 6 for 330.
08:59And add on the 8, 3-3-8.
09:01Excellent.
09:02APPLAUSE
09:04I would have got you ten points at home.
09:06But here's your tea time teaser. Let's start this up.
09:09It's Chaos Tent. Chaos Tent.
09:12A talk with Mick about the bird.
09:14A talk with Mick about the bird.
09:25APPLAUSE
09:32Welcome back.
09:33The Mick you were looking for was Jagger.
09:35A talk with Mick about the bird.
09:36He's a rolling stone.
09:38And, Susie, it's Stone Chat.
09:40I managed to get the tea time teaser, but I've no idea which bird that is.
09:44Oh, and you love your birds.
09:45Well, the reason this is such a great name,
09:47it's a songbird of the Thrush family, but apparently it's cool.
09:49Sounds like two stones being knocked together.
09:51Fantastic. That's brilliant.
09:53That's beautiful. Hopefully you got that at home.
09:54But if you didn't, you can always get what you want.
09:56Let's get back to the game and Greg.
09:59We'll start with the consonant, please, Rachel.
10:00You try sometimes, you'll get an L.
10:03And another.
10:05T.
10:06And a third, please.
10:08R.
10:09And a vowel.
10:11U.
10:11And another.
10:13O.
10:14And another vowel, please.
10:16E.
10:17And a consonant.
10:19P.
10:19E.
10:20And another consonant.
10:22W.
10:23And a final vowel, please.
10:25Final A.
10:27Thanks, Rich.
10:28genetic.
10:30Is.
10:40MUSIC PLAYS
10:59Greg? Just a five. Terence?
11:03I'll stick with a six, then.
11:05OK. Greg, what's the five? Water.
11:07What's your safe six? Patrol.
11:09What were you going to risk? Outleap.
11:13Oh, outleap.
11:15I think... No, it's not there.
11:19I thought that would be...
11:21Yeah. Have a chance, anyway, but it's not there.
11:23Well, because... Well missed.
11:24The reason why we think it's in is just anybody who watches
11:27any type of track and feed it.
11:29Yeah.
11:29Like, it's been used forever.
11:32You know, back to the days of Linda Leap Davis,
11:34outleapt everybody else.
11:36Yeah, you can outjump.
11:37You make a good point. It isn't called the long leap.
11:40So maybe you're right.
11:41Maybe you're right.
11:42Maybe we should just dial back the disdain for that a bit, Terence.
11:46It doesn't matter. Your six is in there,
11:48but were there any sevens or above?
11:50No, just sixes, really.
11:51I had petrol and you have...
11:53Yeah, the pigeon called the powder.
11:55Thank you. Thank you very much.
11:56Yeah, that was Colin, actually, the powder.
11:59Well, that's true.
12:00I don't know what you mean.
12:01Let's get more letters, Terence.
12:02A consonant, please, Rachel.
12:04Thank you, Terence.
12:05R.
12:07And another.
12:08T.
12:09And a third.
12:11S.
12:12And a vowel, please.
12:14E.
12:15And another.
12:16I.
12:17And another.
12:18O.
12:20A consonant, please.
12:22Z.
12:23And another one.
12:25S.
12:27And another consonant, please.
12:29A final M.
12:30Let's do it.
13:02Terence.
13:03Seven.
13:04And for you, Greg?
13:05Six.
13:05The sixes?
13:07Sizes.
13:07Very good, but...
13:09Stories.
13:09Stories.
13:10Yes.
13:11So you're fine.
13:12You got the Z in, which, you know,
13:14we can't give you bonus points,
13:15but I didn't have anything good with the Z in it,
13:17so there you go.
13:18Anything else you spotted?
13:19I'm going to let Susie do this one.
13:23Mestizos.
13:24Mestizos.
13:25Mestizos.
13:26Yeah, that's there for eight.
13:27In Latin America, they are men of mixed race.
13:30Mestizos.
13:30Thank you very much.
13:31It's 32-6.
13:32Not looking the rosiest for you at the moment, Greg,
13:34but a long way to go, and it's your numbers.
13:37Two large, please, Rachel.
13:38Two from the top, and four Lytland's coming up.
13:42And the small ones, four, five, five, three.
13:47And the big two, 75 and 50.
13:50And the target, 585.
13:54585.
13:55Numbers up.
14:26585.
14:28How did you get on there, Greg?
14:29Think I have 585.
14:31And for you, Terrence?
14:32I also think I have 585.
14:34Greg, you go first, then.
14:35OK, 4 plus 3 is 7.
14:37Yeah.
14:38Times the 75 for 525.
14:41525.
14:42Add the 50 for 575.
14:44Yep.
14:44And add the two fives.
14:45Lovely.
14:46One way to get there.
14:47Same way?
14:48Exactly the same way.
14:49Nice.
14:50Yep.
14:50Well done.
14:5310-point seats in the bag.
14:55Last chat of this week with Debbie McGee.
14:59You know, these days, you know, we live in the era of accessible superstars, don't we?
15:04And I'm not saying we see them in the local shop, but you can follow their getting out of bed
15:08in the morning and Instagram and all that type of stuff because of social media.
15:12But you're the era, we didn't meet famous people, like, but they weren't coming to where we were and there
15:17was no social media or internet or anything.
15:19You must have met, because Paul and yourself were superstars in your own right, you must have met some unbelievable
15:25people.
15:26The list, you must watch TV now and go, know them, met them, met them.
15:30I know my head's just about to hit, Susie.
15:33Yeah, yeah, I suppose I've met nearly everybody in show business and, you know, in America as well.
15:40But the only time, I think I'm a person, and I hope I am, that treats everybody the same.
15:46Yes.
15:46And so, although I had a radio show for a long time, and whenever I interviewed any of the guys
15:53that I'd fancied when I was a teenager, I did know I wasn't quite the same as I was with
15:59everybody else, you know, because you are a bit.
16:01But the only time I think I really embarrassed myself and I became a different person was meeting Paul McCartney.
16:08And it was sort of early days and not that many people knew me, and we were doing a Royal
16:12Variety performance.
16:13And we went early to watch everybody else rehearsing.
16:17So we were in the auditorium, but, you know, on a side aisle.
16:21And Paul McCartney came up and started chatting to my Paul.
16:25And then my Paul went as if to say, oh, and this is Debbie.
16:29But Paul McCartney went, oh, hello, Debbie.
16:31And I literally went, you know, go, go, go.
16:34And my knees went, and I was, in my head, I was thinking, oh, my God, Paul McCartney knows my
16:39name.
16:39Yeah, crazy.
16:40So it happens to everybody.
16:42But, listen, I've never met anybody who told me about meeting Paul McCartney and didn't say he was lovely.
16:47Oh, yeah, absolutely lovely to everybody.
16:50I judge everyone in show business is how they treat the crew and everyone.
16:55And Paul McCartney treated everybody the same.
16:57Yeah, and that's a good thing.
16:59Although I can't help but feel your favourite Susie a little bit over me this week.
17:03That's because I'm nice to the crew, Colin.
17:05I dare you.
17:06I saw how you treated the crew.
17:08Oh, how dare you.
17:10Oh, my goodness.
17:11Me and the crew are like that, let me tell you.
17:14I've noticed.
17:15I love it.
17:15Debbie, hopefully we'll see you back in Countdown again soon.
17:17Oh, I hope so.
17:18I've loved it.
17:21Work to be done still.
17:23And also for Greg, who's playing catch up.
17:26We'll see what happens.
17:27Terence, your letters.
17:28Consonant, please, Rachel.
17:30Thank you, Terence.
17:54Let's do it.
18:24We'll see you next time.
18:26Terence, how many?
18:27Just five.
18:28And Greg?
18:29Four.
18:30And a four, OK, the four.
18:31Full.
18:32Funny I could have grown up in the horse, you'd have had five.
18:35Terence?
18:36Fauna.
18:37As in flora and fauna, but did you flower any sixes?
18:41Yes, a couple of sixes.
18:43Yeah, not brilliant ones.
18:45Panful.
18:45Yeah?
18:46Yeah, put on a panful of water, for example.
18:48And nounal, relating to nouns.
18:51Yes.
18:52Excellent stuff.
18:53All right.
18:5347, 16.
18:56Six is the best we could do there.
18:57Hopefully a kinder selection here, Greg.
19:00A consonant, please, Rachel.
19:01Thank you, Greg.
19:02H.
19:03And another.
19:04G.
19:05And a third.
19:07S.
19:08And a vowel, please.
19:09I.
19:10And another.
19:11O.
19:12And another.
19:13A.
19:14And a consonant.
19:16B.
19:17And another consonant.
19:18L.
19:19And a final vowel, please.
19:21A final E.
19:23And let's do it.
19:26And aTER.
19:55All right, Greg.
19:56Just a five again.
19:57Five there, and Terence?
19:59A seven.
20:00And a seven.
20:01Greg, what's your five?
20:02Sable.
20:03Sable.
20:04And for you, Terence?
20:06Obliges.
20:07Obliges.
20:07Very nice.
20:08Yes, indeed.
20:09Well spotted, Debbie McGee.
20:10Susie Dent, this Friday afternoon.
20:12What have you got?
20:13We had a bullish, didn't we?
20:15Yes, we had a bullish and hoagies.
20:18We had an American hoagie, a bit like a sub.
20:20Really nice.
20:21Yes.
20:22But a massive one.
20:23The hoagies are really big.
20:25And I do know the New York Yankees fans who I interviewed once for a documentary.
20:29They're called the Bleacher Creatures, the rowdy section.
20:32And the head of the Bleacher Creatures was telling me they hollow out their hoagies,
20:36put beer cans in because they don't want to pay the prices at the baseball stadium.
20:41Right, 54-16, 10 points up for grabs, Terence.
20:45Number me.
20:47One large, five small, please.
20:49Numbered.
20:50Consider yourself numbered, Colin.
20:52One large, five little.
20:54And this time the small ones.
20:56Five, three, one, nine, four.
21:00And the large one, 75.
21:02And the target, 165.
21:05165, numbers up.
21:34And the target, 165, numbers up.
21:37165 for Terence.
21:39I think I've got 165, but not written down.
21:41And Greg?
21:42163.
21:43163.
21:44It might come in handy.
21:45Let's see if Terence has remembered this well.
21:47Let's see.
21:48Five plus four plus one is ten.
21:53Yeah.
21:53Times nine is 90 plus 75.
21:57Yeah, that's all there was to it.
21:58No need to doubt.
22:02All right, Terence, with a healthy lead as we get our last Tea Time teaser of the week,
22:06which is other free.
22:08Other free.
22:09Now, that's F-R-E-E, whereas the clue is the kids aren't three years old anymore for that
22:15reason.
22:15The kids aren't three years old anymore for that reason.
22:43Hello again.
22:44Greg, let's go.
22:45Start with a consonant again, please, Rachel.
22:47Thank you, Greg.
22:48N.
22:49And another.
22:51T.
22:51And a vowel, please.
22:53I.
22:54And another vowel.
22:56U.
22:56And a consonant.
22:58S.
22:59And another.
23:01V.
23:02And a vowel.
23:05And a final consonant, please.
23:10Final T.
23:12Let's do it.
23:13Well, I know.
23:15Let's do it.
23:21Bye.
23:24Bye.
23:26Bye.
23:29Bye.
23:38Bye.
23:41Bye.
23:42Bye.
23:44How did you get on, Greg? Seven. And Terence? Yeah, seven.
23:47Well done. Greg, let's get more points on the board.
23:50Invites. Invites. And for you, Terence? Also invites.
23:53Yep. And there it is, seven points each.
23:56Talk to me, my friends. Mm, very good.
23:58Yeah. So, yeah, we didn't have much else, did we? No.
24:01Yes, we had invest and unties and unities.
24:06Yes, and unities, so a few sevens there. All the sevens? Yeah.
24:10Nothing above that. And there you go, Terence.
24:12It's a healthy score, but I have high standards for you.
24:14I want to see you get over 100. Me too.
24:16I want you to set your highest score on your fifth win.
24:18So here we go, your letters. I'll give it a go.
24:21Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Terence.
24:23N. And another. T. And a vowel. U. And another. O. And a consonant, please.
24:33M. And another. D. Vowel, please. I. And another vowel.
24:42E. And a final consonant, please. A final G. And count down.
24:47So now we're going.
25:19Terence? Eight. Eight from you and Greg? Seven.
25:22And a seven, you see, seven's great, but not going to get you the points, Greg.
25:25What's a seven? Mounted. Mounted. And for Terence?
25:29Demoting. Well done. Very good.
25:31Well done. APPLAUSE
25:35So, eight, as good as it gets, but, well, decent letters, let's see.
25:39They were. That was our one eight, though, I have to say.
25:41Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Yeah.
25:43Didn't have anything particularly good after that.
25:45Well, I got duetting. What, do you fancy Debbie Island's in the stream?
25:48Shall we go for it? We could, yeah.
25:51Right, 79, 23, four rounds left to go.
25:55Susie, last Origins Awards. Yes.
25:58Of the week, you're not retiring.
26:00No, not yet.
26:02John Tubbs wrote to us from Felixstowe.
26:05And, John, I hope you won't mind if I say that you gave me a bit of a smile.
26:10Because, you know, yesterday I covered malifors
26:12and how sometimes we get sort of things that we've always heard as one thing,
26:16but actually it's a little bit away from the original version of the expression.
26:20And John asks whether I could tell him where the saying is of
26:24woe betide you comes from, as in woe,
26:27like you might say to a horse to get it to stop, W-H-O-A.
26:30And I'm here to tell John that it's actually woe betide you normally.
26:35And it's a really old-fashioned expression,
26:36so you're completely forgiven for spelling it slightly differently.
26:41And woe, we only tend to hear in these kind of fossilised phrases.
26:45So either woe is me or woe betide me, you might read in, you know,
26:50slightly older literature.
26:51But that word woe actually has lots and lots of relatives in other languages,
26:55because it sounds like one of lament or sadness or, you know, unhappiness,
27:00if you like.
27:01And betide here is a word from the Middle Ages
27:05and it's actually meant to happen.
27:06And it's got tide at its heart.
27:09We think of tides these days to do with the sea, almost exclusively.
27:13But actually it once meant a time or a season.
27:17It is, in fact, a relative of the word time.
27:19So you have Eastertide, you have Shrovetide, you have in the olden days Quafftide,
27:27which was a bit like dinner clock.
27:28If you'd reached Quafftide, it was the season all the time for a drink.
27:32And it was only later that it was used in connection with the sea.
27:35But, of course, we've used the tides to calculate time for centuries.
27:40So if you think about months, you know, they are measured by the moon
27:45and its gravitational pull on the tides, et cetera.
27:47So it all kind of comes together in the phrase,
27:50time and tide wait for no man,
27:53in which tide is literally just a repetition of time for effect.
27:57And woe betide you, I have to return to this,
27:59if you are in cahoots with someone.
28:01It's such a good word. We had it earlier in the show.
28:03Cahoots actually is from an old French word, cahoot,
28:06spelt slightly differently, meaning a hut or a cabin.
28:08The idea is that people gather together in a remote hut
28:11and they conspire and tell each other things in secret.
28:15So that's where in cahoots come from.
28:16Indeed, thank you.
28:17APPLAUSE
28:20Right, four rounds to go, so let's get on with it.
28:24And, Greg, your letters.
28:25A consonant, please. Thank you, Greg.
28:28P. And another.
28:30L. And a third, please.
28:33F. And a vowel.
28:36I. And another.
28:37E. And another.
28:39O. And a consonant.
28:41D. And a vowel, please.
28:44I. And a final consonant, please.
28:47A final N.
28:49A final N.
28:49And a countdown.
28:51MUSIC PLAYS
29:21Time's up, Greg.
29:22Six.
29:23Six for you.
29:24And Terence.
29:24Also six.
29:25OK, what have you got, Greg?
29:27Iodine.
29:27And for you, Terence?
29:28Fondle.
29:29Fondle.
29:29And Fondle to Dictionary Corner.
29:31Very nice, both, yeah.
29:33We took it to a couple of sevens.
29:36We did.
29:37PINFOLD.
29:38PINFOLD.
29:39PINFOLD, yeah.
29:39It's a pound for stray animals.
29:41OK.
29:42And we have one more, Infidel.
29:44Good stuff.
29:45They're the seven sixes for you, too.
29:47So, 85, Terence.
29:48Your top score is 100 so far.
29:50So, that's certainly within touching distance.
29:52And, Greg, you're in 29, 21 off half a century,
29:54which would be brilliant as well.
29:56So, let's do it, then.
29:57Last letters, Terence.
29:59Let's start with a vowel.
30:00Thank you, Terence.
30:01E.
30:02And another.
30:03A.
30:04And the consonant.
30:06S.
30:07And another.
30:09N.
30:10And a third.
30:12R.
30:13Vowel, please.
30:14I.
30:15A consonant.
30:17T.
30:18And another.
30:20J.
30:22And a final consonant, please.
30:25A final R.
30:27Last letters.
30:28Aête.
30:47All right.
30:49And we'll see you next week.
30:59That's time, Terence.
31:00Eight.
31:01An eight from you and Greg.
31:02Eight.
31:03Eight, well done.
31:04Terence.
31:05Trainers.
31:05Trainers.
31:07Exactly the same.
31:08There you go.
31:09Yep.
31:09Per trainers, a left and a right, what about dictionary corner?
31:13We got strainer for eight, so...
31:15Moving the S from the end to the start.
31:18Give me an offer for that.
31:19At 93.37, last numbers, ten big points.
31:25Greg.
31:25We'll have a fun one, Rachel.
31:27Four from the top, please.
31:28Four from the top.
31:29You're giving yourself a challenge.
31:30I like your style.
31:31And you've annoyed Colin, which is always fun.
31:33Right, the final numbers of the week.
31:35Six and four.
31:36And then the big one.
31:3775, 100, 25 and 50.
31:41And the target, 946.
31:45You really have, Greg.
31:46She's not joking.
31:47It's 946, last numbers.
31:53It's 946.
31:53It's not simple.
31:54What happened?
32:16It's 647, last numbers.
32:17I am not losing fact.
32:18But now it's 10 Megan.
32:19Your fault, Greg. 9, 4, 6. 9, 50.
32:22Oh, four away. Terence?
32:24A bit closer, 9, 4, 7.
32:269, 4, 7 for seven points and to get to 100.
32:296 plus 4.
32:316 plus 4 is 10.
32:32Times 1,000.
32:34Times?
32:35Oh, sorry, times 100 to get to 1,000.
32:37Yeah, know what you meant. Exactly.
32:38Thank you. Minus the 50.
32:409, 50.
32:41And then 75 over 25 gives you the three to take away.
32:45Yep, one away.
32:469, 4, 6.
32:48We need to get one closer, if possible.
32:50Oh, it was an easy one.
32:52If you say 25 minus 6 is 19,
32:55then you times it by 50.
32:579, 50.
32:58Take away the four.
32:599, 4, 6.
33:00Brilliant.
33:02Yep, couldn't see the word for the trees, Terence and Greg.
33:06But here's where we are.
33:07You've equaled your highest score ever, 100.
33:09So there's a little bit of jeopardy for you.
33:11And Greg, 47 sounds great compared to 37.
33:15So let's do it.
33:15Fingers on the buzzers.
33:17Ten points left this week.
33:19And it comes via the Countdown Conundrum.
33:28Terence.
33:29Renewable.
33:30Is he right?
33:32He is.
33:36Excellent.
33:36Well done, Terence.
33:37Your highest score of this week.

33:49You're perfect for that, right?
33:51Absolutely.
33:52Really good to have you here.
33:53And Debbie, what a delight.
