00:30Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34I don't know whether you share with me that feeling of concern as you see your case, your checked-in
00:41case, disappearing down the conveyor belt and then turning right and shooting off and thinking, oh, I do hope we
00:47meet again.
00:48Well, in fact, annually, something like 25 million cases are mislaid.
00:5525 million down, actually, from recently a figure of 47 million.
01:02It's quite a lot.
01:02But when you consider, and you'll be able to do the math as a percentage, when you consider that 4
01:07.3 billion bags are, you know, take that same little route, it's not so bad.
01:14And the reduction is due to a very marvellous system, and it's called RFIDs, which is radio frequency identification tags
01:23that certain airlines have got.
01:24And it passes under a scanner and it goes in the right direction.
01:27Guess what?
01:28You meet up with it once again.
01:30What about you?
01:31Have you ever had your luggage mislaid?
01:34Not for more than a couple of hours, but my brother once, he came to join us skiing, and he
01:39had his snowboarding bag and he had his suitcase, and they lost his whole suitcase.
01:43So all he had was his snowboard, a few pairs of pants that he'd shoved in there, and he didn't
01:47have his boots or anything, so...
01:49Nightmare.
01:50But thankfully, we've got the RFIDs now.
01:53Now then, who's with us?
01:55Somebody who keeps turning up on time in the right place.
01:59You obviously have got one of these RFIDs attached to you somewhere.
02:03It's Piers Walsh.
02:04Welcome back.
02:05Welcome back from Rammel in Dublin.
02:07Five wins.
02:08Brilliant.
02:09You've played really well.
02:09Very cool character.
02:11Not inside.
02:12No?
02:13No.
02:13All right.
02:14Well, you...
02:14The external Piers Walsh is very calm.
02:17You're joined by John Osmond.
02:18Welcome, John.
02:19Welcome, a retired civil servant from London, and a keen bird watcher.
02:24You travel all over Europe.
02:26Yes, I do.
02:27What's the rarest bird that you've spotted or logged?
02:32Um, well, recently, uh, I saw some bald ibis in Morocco, which there's only about one colony
02:40left in Europe and surrounding areas.
02:43Amazing.
02:44Morocco's a beautiful, beautiful country.
02:46I love it.
02:46I wish I could go back.
02:47And the weather.
02:48Today, yeah.
02:49Anyway, you're very welcome.
02:50Have a lot of fun.
02:51Relax.
02:53Uh, Piers will tell you it's a breeze.
02:54Big round of applause for Piers and John Osmond.
03:04And Susie's over there.
03:06After a peaceful weekend.
03:08And Gloria Hanifert, too.
03:09Oh, it's great to have you back.
03:10Well, here I am.
03:11I'm ready.

04:32Yes, absolutely fine.
04:34Happy?
04:34Yes.
04:35Good, glorious writing away there.
04:37Yeah, I had silly ones, but then we came up with raw hides.
04:43Yes.
04:44Raw hides.
04:44I remember that.
04:45I can rub and rub and rub and rub and rub and rub, all of that.
04:49And we can have raw hides?
04:51We can, yes.
04:53Can we have a plural?
04:54We can.
04:55It's singular if it's the leather, but if it's a whip made of that leather,
04:59then you can put the S on.
05:00So, watch out.
05:02A raw high.
05:02Ooh, that would be painful.

06:32Sorry, John.
06:33Mmm, bad luck.
06:34Gloria.
06:35Bad luck.
06:35Very little.
06:36I only had bundled to begin with and then blondie.
06:40Blondie.
06:41Yes, blonde-haired person.
06:42Oh, it's also a cake.
06:44So, beside a brownie, these ones are usually kind of pale, made of butterscotch or vanilla.
06:49This one's called a blondie.
06:50Never heard that.
06:51There we go.
06:52What you learn in this programme is marvellous.
06:55It's never-ending.
06:5713 plays, 7.
06:59And now it's a numbers game for you, Piers.
07:01Two large and four small, please.

07:05Two from the top row and four little ones.
07:06And the first numbers of the week are 10, 4, 5, 3, and 75, and 100.
07:15And the target to reach, 528.

08:22Well done.
08:24And in the middle is what we need.
08:265 to 8, Rachel.
08:27Possibly.
08:27Yes.
08:28Lots of dead ends.
08:29But you could say 100 minus 75 is 25.
08:34Times by 5 is 125.
09:0510 minus 3 is 7.
09:06She can't contain her excitement for this.
09:08It's incredibly fruity.
09:40Welcome back.

11:04Very good.
11:05Gloria.
11:06And Sue, no, Susie has a cracking nine.
11:08Yes, there is a nine.
11:09So we all know about hibernators.
11:12Well, an animal or person that just goes into a complete state of lethargy during the summer.
11:18What are you?
11:19Is an estivator.
11:21Estivator.
11:22And that will give you a nine.
11:23Well, that's a nine.
11:25Good one.
11:29Can you give us an example?
11:32Toads estivate during the summer.
11:34OK.
11:35Crocodiles estivate.
11:37And quite a few invertebrates.
11:38Yes, so they basically spend the summer in a state of torpor to conserve their energy.
11:42Pleased to hear about the crocodiles.
11:44Yeah.
11:45Safe to swim.
11:46We do know a few people like that, though, don't we?
11:48You're looking at one.

13:11Useless. It was a really bad set of letters, wasn't it?
13:14It was.
13:15So, what do you think?
13:17So, well, we can get to a six with something quite rare,
13:21and that's jinns, spelt D-J-I-N-N-S.
13:26And in Arabian and Muslim mythology, you know this, mate,
13:29it's an intelligent spirit of lower ranks than the angels,
13:33able to appear in human or animal form and possess humans.

14:52Take away.
14:53Perfect, 665, well done.
14:59Well done, John.
15:01So there we are, 32 plays, 24.
15:03As we turn to Gloria.
15:06Gloria, what have you got for us today?
15:08Well, I was smiling to myself when you were talking about losing suitcases and the millions that are lost every
15:13year.
15:13I have a story about something else that was lost.
15:16And it's about a family, mother, father, girl of about 13, and they went off to Mallorca for the holidays
15:24and they had a great time.
15:25And they got their tickets early on or their boarding passes.
15:29And when they got on the plane, they went, 35, 34, there are no seats to match the boarding passes.
15:39And so they called the steward over and he went, oh, that's right, there are no seats.
15:46I don't know why that is.
15:47Maybe they've been sent for refurb or something.
15:49So he said, I tell you what, just stay there and maybe three people won't turn up for the flight
15:54and we'll give you their seats.
15:56So as it turned out, only one didn't turn up.
15:58So they gave their daughter that seat.
16:01This is a true story, by the way, which we featured on Rip Up Britain Holidays.
16:05And so then they sat in the jump seats, so the parents did, for the takeoff.
16:10But then, of course, the stewards had to do all their tea and coffee and heat all the things.
16:15So they literally had to do the journey on a rug on the floor in the empty space of the
16:21seats, which actually is against the law, really.
16:24Then when they got back, they rang their travel agent and he said, what I'll do is I'll give you
16:28£30 each compensation.
16:30Now, they were more angry at the £30 compensation than they were at having to sit on the floor, because
16:36that was, in a way, a bit odd and funny.
16:38Very odd and funny.
16:40But anyway, that's when they came to Rip Up Britain.
16:42So we got them their £1,800 back absolutely clean.
16:46So we're proud of that.
16:48Well done.
16:49Well done.
16:54Excellent.
16:55Well done.
16:55Thanks, Gloria.
16:56So 32 to 24, Pearson the lead.

24:39Oh, well, I just had a silly one.
24:40My dad used to teach me how to plane wood,
24:42so I had a planed in that sense.
24:45But then there's another quite naughty one.
24:47You were thinking of your director this case, weren't you?
24:49I wasn't thinking at all about our director,
24:51but unparted is there.
24:54Well, we could dig it, but couldn't hide backshaming that one.

26:12Now, John.
26:13Same word.
26:16Yeah.
26:16Make a three, because I also have mortals.
26:19Yes.
26:19Susie, you've got a different one.
26:21Yes, there's maltose as well, which is a sugar produced by the breakdown of starch.
26:26Okay.
26:28Thanks for that, Susie.
26:28And now, don't go away, it's your Origins of Words.
26:33And today?
26:35Today, I hope to answer an email from Pete Grayson, who wonders about waging war.
26:41Why do we wage war, and has it got anything to do with the salaries that we get?
26:46And the answer is quite simply yes, although it seems to be quite a curious link.
26:50So, wage was originally a pledge or a deposit.
26:54It's the English form of the French word gage, G-A, or gage, G-A-G-E, that came in
27:00after the
27:01Norman Conquest.
27:02So, wage was something that was given as a security as a pledge, and from there on,
27:07it took the sense of money that we know it has today.
27:10You get your wages at the end of the week.
27:12Wager is an extension of that, because it's a stake or a deposit put down by a gambler.
27:18But what about waging war?
27:19Well, it's related because in medieval law, any kind of dispute, any legal dispute, could
27:25be settled by duelling, if the both parties agreed to it.
27:30So, a wronged person in the Middle Ages could throw down the gauntlet, the gauntlet being
27:35a glove, or throw down a pledge, figuratively speaking, and then sort of invite the other
27:42person to battle.
27:43And that was known in French, again, it's a phrase we took on from the Norman Conquerors,
27:48of gage bataille, meaning to wage battle.
27:51So, it's from that, from that kind of medieval sense of duelling, that wage sort of carried
27:55through, if you like, and that's why we wage battle or wage war today.
27:59Wonderful.
28:00Very good.
28:06Well, less of it, the better.
28:08Sixty plays fifty-nine.
28:10John, it's your letters game.
28:12A consonant, please.
28:14Thank you, John.

29:27Important score, that.
29:29Five ahead now.
29:30Gloria.
29:31Gloria and Susie.
29:32Yeah, did you say rocket or brocket?
29:34I said rocket.
29:35Rocket.
29:36And then there's brocket.
29:37Yes?
29:38Er, yes.
29:39You can put the B on.
29:40It's a small deer with short, straight antlers.
29:43That'll give you a seven.
29:43A brocket.
29:44There goes a brocket.
29:45Anything else, Susie?
29:45No.
29:46Nothing else.

31:07Yes, pirates, anagram of that, and trapes as well.

32:23100 times 3, 300.
32:2510 divided by 2.
32:26Is 5.
32:28Minus 1.
32:29For 4.

32:49Good luck to you both.
32:50We're rolling today's Crucial Countdown Conundrum.
33:05John?
33:07Viscosity.
33:09Viscosity.
33:12Wow.
33:23And John nicks it.
33:25Well done.
33:26Well played.
33:26Because it was quite a slow start, wasn't it?
33:29Yes, it was.
33:29And you came steadily back.
33:31Oh, Piers.
33:33You played really well.
33:35But there's always somebody going to come and...
33:37There's always someone.
33:38Yeah.
33:39Thank you very much for coming.
33:40You got a teapot.
33:41Yeah.
33:41You got a teapot.
33:42You got a goodie bag.
33:43And you got our fangs.
33:44Because you really played very, very strongly.
33:47Thank you very much.
33:48Back to Dublin.
33:49Cheers.
33:49All right.
33:50John, fantastic.
33:51That was nerve-wracking, wasn't it?
33:53It certainly was, yes.
33:54You came through, anyway, on the conundrum.
33:57And actually, Piers has been fantastic on the conundrum.
34:01So you did very well indeed.
34:02Excellent.
34:03We shall see you tomorrow.
34:05All right.
34:07Gloria, see you tomorrow?
34:08Oh, definitely.
34:09I wouldn't miss it.
34:10That was a really tight game, but marvellous.
34:12Wasn't it great?
34:12It really was.
34:14Susie, tomorrow.
34:15Yes.
34:15There we go.
34:16Sad to see him go.
34:17Well, Susie and I went to a party in Dublin at the end of last year.
34:21And if we can say one thing from that trip, the people of Dublin love Countdown.
34:24So I think Piers might get a hero's welcome when he goes home.
34:26There we go.
34:27See you tomorrow.
34:28See you tomorrow.
34:28Lovely.
34:29Tomorrow, same time, same place.
34:30You'll be sure of it.
34:31A very good afternoon.
