00:31Hello and welcome to Countdown and a very, very happy birthday to Jack Nicholson.
00:36So far, five partners, six children, three Academy Awards and he's still only 85.
00:43That means he's going to get a lot of presents, a lot of cards from a lot of people, doesn't
00:46it?
00:46Yeah.
00:46He's fabulous.
00:48Yeah, he's in one of my favourite all-time films, The Departed.
00:51Have you seen it?
00:52Do you like it?
00:52Yeah, yeah, wonderful.
00:53Yeah, magically sinister, but still you manage to, you know, like him a little bit, even though
00:58he's awful, awful, awful.
01:00Let's meet our contestants.
01:03Matt.
01:04Hiya.
01:04Sixth time?
01:05Yes.
01:06Done very well indeed.

01:21And what do you do?
01:23I train people to pass their accountancy exams.
01:27Do you?
01:27Do you train them to be interesting?
01:30Um, I try, but it's often impossible.
01:33You could do a sort of term-long course on, um, telling jokes to clients.
01:40Hmm, it's an interesting idea.
01:41I might give that a try.
01:43Okay.

10:24Yeah, and there's also stormier as well.
10:26That's it?
10:27Yes, that's it.
10:28Nice lot of eights there.
10:29Thanks, Susie.
10:31Paul, your numbers.
10:33One from the top and five from wherever you choose.
10:36Thank you, Paul.
10:37One large and five presumably little ones.
10:41Yeah, they are this time.

11:26Seven.
11:27Matt.
11:28618.
11:29OK.
11:30Six plus five plus one.
11:32Six plus five plus one is 12.
11:34Times 50.
11:36Is 600.
11:37Then nine times two is your 18.
11:40Another ten points on the maths for you.
11:42Lovely.
11:47Sophie, we've been talking about your book, Spinning Plates, but it's also the name of your podcast, isn't it?
11:53Yeah, that's right, yes.
11:54The podcast came first, and then that was what started editing a book, which was going to be a series
11:59of essays, and that kind of morphed somewhere else.
12:01But yeah, the podcast is where I speak to working women who happen to be mothers, and the conversation's quite
12:06far-ranging.
12:07That's just sort of the icebreaker, really.
12:08Do you see, I mean, you've got five children, so it's difficult to believe you need to know anything new.
12:13Have you learnt anything new?
12:15I learn all the time, and I think part of the reason I started it is because, you know, the
12:20guilt that's associated with working when you're raising a family is something that I was really surprised by, that emotion
12:26when I became a mum.
12:27So I still sometimes have struggles with giving myself permission to do what I want to do, and I've spoken
12:33to women from so many different fields.
12:36So there's ex-prime ministers, ex-spice girls, scientists.
12:40This week I spoke to the ventriloquist Nina Conti, and last week I spoke to forensic pathologists, and I'm just
12:46really fascinated by all the conversations.
12:48And have any of your interviewees actually cracked, become comfortable with working and being mothers? Is there any answer?
13:00No, and that's sort of part of the conversation, really, and some people already know what they want to do,
13:03and they have their babies, and they almost just strap them on their back and keep moving onwards,
13:07and for other people it means they completely change things around and maybe end up doing something completely different, because
13:12everybody's got their own story to tell, really.
13:15And it's difficult if you become a mum early, because you mightn't have got as far in your career as
13:21you need to do to safely take time off for maternity leave, isn't it?
13:26All of these things, and everybody's got their own version of that, and, I mean, when I became pregnant I
13:32was 24, and my mum said that was quite good,
13:34because she thought if you're a young mother you tend to find it easier to be selfish, so she sort
13:38of said it as like a selling point,
13:40but I think for other women they might feel that they get to a point where they think, OK, now
13:44I want to start a family.
13:45So everybody's, you know, got their own thing that happens to them, and also the child is their own, brings
13:52their own things.
13:53I spoke to Gina Miller, who's the woman who took the government to court over Brexit, and her first child
13:59was born with special needs,
14:01you know, so that introduced its own thing, and, you know, you can't plan so much of your path with
14:06motherhood and with work.
14:07Yeah, and five boys, and you were saying how different children can be, have your mothering skills altered for each
14:17child, do you think?
14:19Well, I just think, in general, mothering is a lot more reactive than I thought, because you have that individual,
14:25and I just feel like I'm not exactly the same mother for each of them, because there are different things
14:29they need from me.
14:30OK.
14:30I might be wrong about that, but that's how I feel at the moment, certainly.
14:33Can you give me an example of that?
14:35I suppose how I think of it sometimes is that all the kids are like planets, and I get my
14:40spacesuit on, and I land on the planet,
14:42and I have to check all the meters, and they all have slightly different atmospheres, slightly different things that make
14:46all the plants grow,
14:47but my job is to sort of try and work out what they all need to grow all those seeds
14:52and really flourish.
14:53And how does it compare with growing up as a child with your mum, who was working in incredibly popular,
15:00incredibly successful?
15:02Well, the significant thing about my mum and I, I think, is that my parents separated when I was four,
15:08and so between four and seven, she was a single mother to me.
15:11So that, that really laid the bedrock and foundation of our relationship.
15:15So Blue Peter was sort of secondary to that, really.
15:17I wasn't, I wasn't sort of what we'd discuss every day.
15:21Anyway, so I guess from my point of view, I want to take the closeness of communication that I have
15:27with my mum and bring that to my mothering,
15:29but I love the fact that my kids are growing up in a house where it's something more stable family
15:34life than I had, maybe.
15:35Yeah, and your mother remarried then, didn't you?
15:38And that was a very happy marriage.
15:40Very happy, and actually my dad, too, remarried.
15:42So I've always said I ended up with two examples of happy marriages out of one example of an unhappy
15:48one.
15:48So it did all end up all right, and yeah, I was very close to my stepdad, so.
15:52You're very optimistic, and you sort of take things as they come, even if they're a bit of a big
15:59blow at the time, don't you?
16:01I mean, you're a great believer in anything nasty that happens you learn from.
16:05I am, but also I don't actually think the struggles I've had are even that unique.
16:12I think a lot of the things I've spoken about in there are probably things that would resonate with a
16:15lot of people, actually.
16:17But yeah, it was a really nice thing to start conversations about it, and I felt in a good place
16:23in my life to do that.
16:25Spinning plates, music men, motherhood and me.
16:28Great title.

21:54um fair question um i was an accountant long enough uh to get through the exams um it's the sort
22:02of thing
22:03that when you qualify you have to be doing it at the same time so i was only an accountant
22:07after i
22:08finished my exams for a short period but the exams themselves were three years and what are the
22:13particular qualities that an accountant should have um a sense of humor oh i don't think so i know lots
22:22of accountants without a sense of you
22:25uh maybe that's why they need the quality then because there are so few okay if any of us are
22:30choosing an accountant what are you looking for um someone who um knows how to use the rules
22:39in an honest way rather than someone who tries to use the rules to their own advantage

25:30Matt.
25:30Seven.
25:31Paul.
25:32Six.
25:33What's your six?
25:35Miller.
25:36Matt.
25:37Rueil.
25:39Rueil.
25:39Rueil.
25:40Yes, very hard to pronounce this one.
25:42Yes, it is in there.
25:43It's a Provencal sauce.
25:45You won't like this one, Anne, because it's got chilli in it and garlic
25:48and other ingredients, and it's added to the kind of bouillabaisse.
25:52Anything different over there?
25:54Yes, there's an even more unpronounceable one, actually,
25:57which looks very similar to Rueil, and that is Mouillet,
26:00and that's M-O-U-I-L-L-E-acute accent,
26:03and it's all to do with phonetics and linguistics,
26:05when you palatise a consonant,
26:07so you're putting your tongue to the top of your mouth.
26:09OK.
26:10And more of your wisdom now, please.
26:13Well, thanks to Valerie Watson,
26:14who asked about this expression swinging the lead,
26:18and where does that one come from?
26:20What do the original lead swingers do, asked Valerie.
26:23Well, swinging the lead is basically being incredibly lazy,
26:26so you're shirking work, you're skiving off, you're malingering,
26:30so you're not essentially pulling your weight,
26:33and it is actually all to do with weight, as I'll explain.
26:36It actually goes back at least a century,
26:38and you'll find it used quite a lot during the First World War,
26:41but its origins weren't in the trenches.
26:44They were, in fact, at sea,
26:46because it's got very much a nautical theme to it,
26:49and at sea, the lead is a kind of bob or lump of lead
26:53suspended by a string,
26:55and it's slowly lowered by a sailor or a cruise man
26:58to measure the depth of water,
27:01to sound the depths,
27:02or indeed to plumb the depths,
27:04and the reason it's called plumbing the depths
27:05is because plumbum for the Romans was a piece of lead.
27:10It's where we get the plumber from
27:11because they used to work with lead pipes in those days.
27:15So if you are plumbing the depths,
27:16you're doing the same thing.
27:17You're sounding out exactly how deep the water is,
27:21which, of course, is very important when you're at sea.
27:23So the job of the leadsman was a really difficult one,
27:26and you might think then that actually swinging the lead
27:30would mean actually doing an incredibly important,
27:32valuable job and working very hard.
27:34So how did it come to mean actually not doing very much at all?
27:38Well, it's probably because lazy sailors
27:41would pretend to be slowly lowering the lead
27:44and assessing the depth of the water,
27:46when in fact they were probably just swinging it about
27:48and not doing very much at all.
27:50There is one other theory,
27:52which is an older military term.
27:54Perhaps it was influenced by that,
27:55and it was to swing the leg,
27:57and that is simply because you're swinging your leg in idleness
28:00and just basically, you know, as I say,
28:02larking and fucksing about and not doing very much at all.
28:05That might have influenced swinging the lead.
28:06We may never know for sure,
28:08but I like the nautical and I like the idea of a sailor
28:11just kind of looking as if he's doing a very good job,
28:13but actually not doing very much at all.
28:16Thank you, Susie.
28:17You're welcome.

31:22adsorbed on a surface. Very good. Did you know that? No. You've swallowed a lot of
31:31Countdown words online, haven't you? Yeah. Don't need to know what they mean, though,

33:40If we could carry on for a few more rounds, I might have a chance.
33:44I'm sorry you've got to go, actually.

33:48Good finish.

34:15One of a kind.
