00:31Hello, everybody.
00:32Tuesday afternoon, 15 rounds of letters and numbers coming your way.
00:36Whether you're doing it old school at ten past two of the afternoon,
00:40maybe you're on the morning repeat or you're just catching up whenever you want.
00:44It all counts.
00:45Thank you very much for tuning in.
00:46And how are you, Rachel?
00:47Still never seen a morning repeat.
00:49Have you not?
00:50Never up that early.
00:52So it's somebody's birthday today that sparked an idea for this week's little Top of Show quiz.
00:58So here we go.
00:59It's famous people with a planetary connection, OK?
01:03And I'll start with the birthday boy.
01:05He may throw a grenade or ask to marry you, but don't worry.
01:10Oh, there we go.
01:10This music superstar is too lazy to act on it.
01:14That was one of our wedding sons, Bruno Mars.
01:16Yeah, I knew you'd get it.
01:17Your generation.
01:19So you get the idea.
01:20Right, OK.
01:22I'll do it, Norman.
01:24I know you're under pressure, Rachel.
01:26Freddie Mercury.
01:27Yes.
01:28That's the one you could guess before you've even put a clue out there.
01:32One of them is going to be Freddie Mercury.
01:33I'll level with you.
01:34None of them are difficult.
01:35Here you go.
01:36Ten grand slam titles, multiple Olympic gold, more than most who've ever lived, but only
01:42second around the dinner table.
01:44Could it be Venus Williams?
01:45It is Venus Williams, and that's all I've got, because I thought if it had filled Jupitus
01:49for Jupiter, you would cry foul.
01:51Yeah.
01:52I mean, that's only half right, is it?
01:54Let's get back down to the earth, and let's head over to Dictionary Corner.
01:57Always bringing Gravitas to count down.
02:00It's her G of the D, Susie Dent, and it's a week to savour.
02:03Back in Dictionary Corner, we'll always make space for palm airs.
02:08Thank you very much.
02:09Yes.
02:10Love it.
02:11Right.
02:11Terence Newnham.
02:12Two more wins to become an octo-champ.
02:16Have you any ideas of how you'll celebrate, maybe this weekend?
02:18Maybe a trip to the Lake District?
02:19I know you love that.
02:20I love going to the Lake District, yeah.
02:22I'm actually going up this week.
02:23I'm going to go to Coniston, going to go swimming in the water there, so that'll be a lot of
02:28fun.
02:28Whether you go swimming as an octo-champ or a loser is yet to be decided.
02:33Exactly.
02:33Let's find out.
02:35Keep your shorts on.
02:36You're up against Kim Binks, and Kim Binks is from Wallingford in Oxfordshire, so more
02:41of a Cotswolds person at the Lake District.
02:44And so much to talk to you about.
02:46You love to travel.
02:47I do.
02:48And you did the dream thing.
02:49Your job was in Spain.
02:51Tell me about that.
02:52Yeah, we went to Spain.
02:53We thought, oh, we're going to do it for a while.
02:55And went out there, and I ended up getting a job doing property sales and lettings for
02:59an online estate agency.
03:01So taking loads of pictures and all that type of stuff?
03:04Yeah, going all over the area, Costa Blanca, Costa Calida, taking photographs of everything
03:09from the worst house you can imagine to the most palatial you can imagine, but it was
03:13lovely getting to look at all of them.
03:14The big villas in the hillside and all.
03:17Yes, exactly that, up the mountains.
03:19Yeah, it was gorgeous.
03:20Goodness me, what a job, eh?
03:21Yeah, just been letting people's houses.
03:24Beautiful.
03:24Yeah.
03:24And getting paid for it.
03:25And getting paid for it, yeah.
03:27Well, we've jobs like that as well.
03:28Our day job, we can't believe we get paid for it as well.
03:31And good luck, Kim.
03:32And good luck to Terrence.
03:35All right, Terrence, let's pick some letters.
03:38Good afternoon, Rachel.
03:39Good afternoon, Terrence.
03:40Let's start with a consonant, please.
03:41Start today with D.
03:43And a second.
03:45P.
03:47And a third.
03:48R.
03:50And a vowel, please.
03:51A.
03:52And another.
03:54O.
03:55And another.
03:56E.
03:57A consonant, please.
03:59S.
04:00And another.
04:02G.
04:03And a final consonant, please.
04:05And a final P.
04:07At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
04:27And a final P.
04:41Terrence.
04:42A seven.
04:42A seven.
04:43Strong start, Kim.
04:44Seven.
04:45Well done.
04:45What have you got, Terrence?
04:47Grasped.
04:47And Kim?
04:48Dappers.
04:49Dappers with the S on the end.
04:53Dapper is obviously there as in very stylish, but it's not there as a noun, I'm afraid, Kim.
04:59Yeah, so we can't put the S on it.
05:00Sorry.
05:01Tricky, that one.
05:02Tricky, that one.
05:03All right, Palmares, how did you start this Tuesday afternoon?
05:05Well, I got prose, of course, but it's not very long.
05:09And then we've got the delicious podgers, which is seven.
05:14Podgers?
05:14Yeah, so podgers, I suppose, is chubbiness.
05:18But a podger is something very different.
05:20It's a short bar that's used to tighten a box banner.
05:23Ah, OK, there you go.
05:25Right, 7-0 for the champion.
05:27Kim, you're in charge of these letters.
05:30Hi, Rachel.
05:31Hi, Kim.
05:31Can I have a consonant, please?
05:33You can indeed.
05:34R.
05:35And a consonant.
05:37L.
05:38And a vowel.
05:40A.

05:53And another vowel.
05:55A.
05:56And a consonant, please.
05:57Lastly, N.
05:58And 30 seconds.
05:59I.
06:00I.
06:11I don't know.
06:17I don't know what many of you at home are thinking right now.
06:33How many letters, Kim?
06:35Six.
06:35OK, and for you, Terence?
06:38Seven.
06:39Seven for you. OK, Kim, the six?
06:41Mailer.
06:41And will the seven count?
06:43Miracle.
06:44Miracle.
06:44Very good indeed.
06:45There you go.
06:46Yeah.
06:47So is there any way to use it without a capital A?
06:50Oh, what were you thinking of?
06:51American.
06:52Ah, OK, no, we didn't go there.
06:54We did have a legitimate eight.
06:56Which is a very soothing calamine.
06:59Ah, calamine, the lotion.
07:01Yes.
07:01Oh, no, that word for me, just, oh, I'm back as a kid with chicken pox.
07:07Oh, yeah.
07:07No, I don't, I never want to hear that word again.
07:10Scratch myself stupid with that.
07:11I remember anointing my sons with calamine when they had chicken pox.
07:16It was agony, poor little things.
07:18It's one of my favourite things, they were random words in countdown.
07:21Every day, the memories and the stories.
07:23Yeah, I know.
07:24The conversations around the words.
07:26Almost as good as the game.
07:27Almost, not quite.
07:28Let's get our first numbers round.
07:29Terence?
07:30Can I just have one large and five small, please?
07:33We can indeed.
07:33One from the top, five little.
07:35To start us off today with the numbers and the five small ones are 10, 8, 2, 7 and 6
07:43and the large one, 75.
07:46And the target, 445.
07:484, 4, 5, numbers up.
08:214, 4, 5, Terence?
08:23Yeah, 4, 4, 5.
08:25And Kim?
08:254, 4, 5.
08:26Yes, and I know the way that Terence did it, because I caught him,
08:29I don't know whether our camera did, I caught him going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
08:34So I know the way he's about to go off, you go.
08:36You're quite right.
08:3875 times 6.
08:40450.
08:41Yeah, and then 10 divided by 2 is the 5 to subtract.
08:44Fingers.
08:44Didn't let you down.
08:454, 4, 5.
08:47Kim?
08:48Exactly the same.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Yeah.

09:25It was Housefly.
09:26House fly.
09:27All right, 14 points in it.

10:41Ranger for you, and Terence.
10:43And Garner.
10:44And Garner.
10:45What were you going to risk?
10:46Yearner.
10:47A yearner.
10:49It's in the dictionary.
10:50Oh, sorry, Terence.
10:51Well done, well done.
10:52Yeah, that would have got you a 7.
10:53Quite, actually, the opposite of well done.
10:55I would say Pam should have went with it.
10:58Six points each on the board.
11:01Pam, did you get it?
11:02We've got the rather poignant yearner as well.
11:05So we're yearning over here.
11:08And you'd have went with it.
11:09That's the difference.
11:10At 30, 16 it is.

14:04Our chat with Pam Ayers.
14:06A Life in Poems out last week.
14:08And as you said yesterday, just about all of your life's work are poems.
14:11And you're much more than just a poet.
14:13But that's all there in this wonderful Doggedly Onward.
14:17Doggedly Onward.
14:17It's got a portrait of me and my dog on the front.
14:20And as I have been going doggedly onward for some years, I thought it was quite a nice title.
14:25And how many dogs have you had over your lifetime?
14:29Because you're such a dog lover.
14:31Yeah, I've had a dog all my life.
14:32And all of them, except one, were rescue dogs.
14:36You know, I've only paid for one dog.
14:38Yeah.
14:38The others were all chuck outs from one dog's home or another.
14:42Oh, fantastic.
14:43From the dogs, back to the poems.
14:45OK.
14:46And what did you spot for us to read out today?
14:49This is a poem from a review which I've written with George Fenton.
14:53It's a musical review.
14:54And this is one of the more thoughtful pieces about what I miss, really, about things that I grew up
15:02alongside.
15:04I used to spend a lot of time at a farm and there was a lady there called Miss Tanner
15:09and she used to make butter.
15:10And I used to watch her and she had two paddles like little cricket bats and you'd knock it about
15:16and knock the water out of it and put lots of salt on it.
15:18It was fascinating to watch.
15:20I used to watch.
16:17I used to watch.
16:20you in your kitchen skimming off the heavy cream weary of your labor you were silent you were stern
16:28elderly miss tanner with your paddles and your churn the frogs upon the marshy land the lapwings
16:36tumbling flight starlings in their millions the vixen in the night a skylark on the morning air
16:45the rising and the fall a bat upon the twilight they are vanished one and all i miss you so
16:53i miss
16:53you so the summers aren't the same i miss the swifts and swallows in their thousands as they came
17:00i miss the little martins as they nested in the eaves the hibernating hedgehog in his cozy ball of
17:08leaves but timber was imported with its blight and its disease to cut a swathe through elm and ash and
17:16all our native trees the roads are filled with traffic fumes are heavy in the air the drone is
17:24inescapable i hear it everywhere the country of my youth is desecrated torn apart and nature which

19:12but it's two words, I'm sorry.
19:13Well, we will shun it.

19:21We have a delicious sundae, which is six, an ice cream dish,
19:25and we also have uncashed, which is eight.

23:02up when it's only half-time, it's today.

24:23Susie and Pam?
24:24Susie's got one here, which is seven,
24:26but I don't understand it.
24:28It's called manrope.
24:30Manrope?
24:31Yes, you'll find it along the side of a ship's gangway,
24:33so it enables you to hold on as you're walking.
24:36Good stuff.

25:48Waited as well?
25:49Yeah.
25:50Well, there you go, 6 points each.
25:51Anything better that they missed?
25:53Well, I was trying to get caught, but I didn't have an H,
25:56so that was a dismal failure.
25:57But we do, however, have a widget, which is also six.
26:02Right, there you go, the little triangle.
26:04Yeah, a widget.
26:06Yes.
26:06In a can of beer or any kind of gadget, really.
26:09Releases the gas.
26:10Yes.
26:10Does indeed.
26:11Right, OK.
26:1213 points in it, four rounds to go.
26:15Origins of words time, Suzy, then.
26:17Yeah, well, thanks to Alan Smith from Wellingarden City,
26:21who wonders where the phrase,
26:22I've got a bone to pick with you, comes from.
26:26Well, it's pretty old, this expression.
26:28It goes right back to the 1500s,
26:29and it's probably a very simple metaphor
26:32of a dog chewing endlessly on a large bone
26:35and picking it clean.
26:37So a bone to pick originated really as a subject
26:40that required a lot of discussion or argument,
26:43and now it's pretty much a sort of private grievance, isn't it,
26:46that you then are going to go and tell someone about.
26:49It's quite similar to a bone of contention,
26:52something over which two people argue,
26:55and that too is from sort of late Middle Ages, really,
26:58and it refers to two dogs fighting
27:00over a particularly choice bone.
27:03But there was another phrase
27:05that often puzzles a lot of people,
27:07and that's to bone up on something,
27:09to sort of swat up on something.
27:10Where does that come from?
27:11Well, there is a theory that it looks back
27:14to a notable figure from the 19th century
27:16called Henry George Bohn, spelt B-O-H-N.
27:20And he was prolific.
27:22He was a bookseller, he was a publisher,
27:24he was a translator,
27:25and he published many standard works
27:28that became the kind of textbooks
27:30that students would pore over.
27:32And his volumes became so widely used
27:35amongst undergraduates,
27:37particularly in American colleges,
27:38that his surname came to mean any kind of translation,
27:42and, in fact, then, to study hard as well.
27:45It seems to fit perfectly,
27:48albeit the spelling is very different,
27:50but the more plausible origin,
27:52and one that fits the date,
27:53is actually that it's from polishing leather with bones,
27:56which was once a really standard practice,
27:58so you're going over something again and again,
28:01therefore you are boning up on it.
28:03Nice. Thank you.
28:06Well, our challenger, Kim Banks,
28:08like a dog with a bone,
28:09she just won't give up.
28:11Well, she's 13 points in it.
