00:31Hello and welcome to Countdown and a very, very happy birthday to Jack Nicholson.
00:37So 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, he's fabulous.
00:48Yeah, he's in one of my favourite all-time films, The Departed.
00:51Have you seen it? Do you like it?
00:52Yeah, yeah, wonderful.
00:53Yeah, magically sinister, but still you manage to, you know, like him a little bit,
00:58even though he's awful, awful, awful.
01:00Let's meet our contestants.
01:02Matt, sixth time?
01:05Yes.
01:06Done very well indeed.
01:07You are a detective constable with the Cheshire Force.
01:12Yeah.
01:13Very nice.

01:21From London.
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?
01:31I try, but it's often impossible.
01:33You could do a sort of term-long course on telling jokes to clients.
01:40Hmm, it's an interesting idea.
01:41I might give that a try.
01:43OK.

11:29OK.
11:306 plus 5 plus 1.
11:326 plus 5 plus 1 is 12.
11:35Times 50.
11:36Is 600.
11:37Then 9 times 2 is your 18.
11:40Another 10 points on the maths for you.
11:42Lovely.
11:43Lovely.
11:47Sophie, we've been talking about your book, Spinning Plates,
11:51but it's also the name of your podcast, isn't it?
11:53Yeah, that's right, yes.
11:54The podcast came first,
11:56and then that was what started editing a book,
11:58which was going to be a series of essays,
11:59and that kind of morphed somewhere else.
12:01But, yeah, the podcast is where I speak to working women
12:04who happen to be mothers,
12:05and the conversation's quite far-ranging.
12:07That's just sort of the icebreaker, really.
12:09Do you see, I mean, you've got five children,
12:11so it's difficult to believe you need to know anything new.
12:13Have you learnt anything new?
12:15I learn all the time,
12:16and I think part of the reason I started it is because, you know,
12:20the guilt that's associated with working when you're raising a family
12:23is something that I was really surprised by,
12:26that emotion when I became a mum.
12:27So I still sometimes have struggles with giving myself permission
12:31to do what I want to do.
12:32And I've spoken to women from so many different fields,
12:35so there's ex-prime ministers, ex-spice girls, scientists.
12:40This week I spoke to the ventriloquist Nina Conti,
12:43and last week I spoke to forensic pathologists,
12:45and I'm just really fascinated by all the conversations.
12:49And have any of your interviewees actually cracked
12:54to become comfortable with working and being mothers?
12:58Is there any answer?
13:00No, and that's sort of part of the conversation, really,
13:02and some people already know what they want to do
13:04and they have their babies and they almost just strap them on their back
13:06and keep moving onwards.
13:08And for other people it means they completely change things around
13:11and maybe end up doing something completely different
13:12because everybody's got their own story to tell, really.
13:15And it's difficult if you become a mum early
13:19because you mightn't have got as far in your career as you need to do
13:22to safely take time off for maternity leave, isn't it?
13:27All of these things, and everybody's got their own version of that.
13:29And, I mean, when I became pregnant, I was 24,
13:32and my mum said that was quite good
13:34because she thought if you're a young mother,
13:36you tend to find it easier to be selfish.
13:38So she sort of said it as like a selling point,
13:40but I think for other women they might feel that they get to a point
13:43where they think, OK, now I want to start a family.
13:45So everybody's, you know, got their own thing that happens to them
13:50and also the child brings their own things.
13:53And I spoke to Gina Miller,
13:55who's the woman who took the government to court over Brexit,
13:57and her first child was born with special needs.
14:01You know, so that introduced its own thing.
14:03And, you know, you can't plan so much of your path with motherhood
14:07and with work.
14:08Yeah.
14:08And five boys, and you were saying how different children can be,
14:14have your mothering skills altered for each child, do you think?
14:19Well, I just think, in general,
14:20mothering is a lot more reactive than I thought
14:24because you have that individual,
14:25and I just feel like I'm not exactly the same mother for each of them
14:28because there are different things they need from me.
14:30OK.
14:31I might be wrong about that,
14:32but 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
14:37is that all the kids are like planets.
14:39Yeah.
14:39And I get my spacesuit on,
14:41and I land on the planet,
14:42and I have to check all the meters,
14:43and they all have slightly different atmospheres,
14:45slightly different things that make all the plants grow.
14:47But my job is to sort of try and work out
14:49what they all need to grow all those seeds and really flourish.
14:53And how does it compare with growing up as a child with your mum,
14:57who was working in incredibly popular, incredibly successful?
15:02Well, the significant thing about my mum and I, I think,
15:05is 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 really laid the bedrock and foundation of our relationship.
15:15So Blue Peter was sort of secondary to that, really.
15:18I wasn't sort of what we'd discuss every day.
15:21So I guess, from my point of view,
15:24I want to take the closeness of communication I have with my mum
15:28and bring that to my mothering.
15:29But I love the fact that my kids are growing up in a house
15:31where it's a more stable family life than I had, maybe.
15:35Yeah.
15:36And your mother remarried then, didn't you?
15:38And that was a very happy marriage.
15:40Very happy.
15:41And actually, my dad, too, remarried.
15:43So I've always said I ended up with two examples of happy marriages
15:46out of one example of an unhappy one.
15:48So it did all end up all right.
15:50And, yeah, I was very close to my stepdad, so...
15:52You're very optimistic,
15:54and you sort of take things as they come,
15:57even if they're a bit of a big blow at the time, don't you?
16:01I mean, you're a great believer in anything nasty that happens,
16:05you learn from.
16:06I am, but also I don't actually think the struggles I've had
16:11are even that unique.
16:12I think a lot of the things I've spoken about in there
16:14are probably things that would resonate
16:15with a lot of people, actually.
16:17But, yeah, it was a really nice thing
16:19to start conversations about it,
16:22and I felt in a good place in my life to do that.
16:25Spinning plates, music men, motherhood and me.
16:28Great title.

21:07And the clue, the six geese are helping you ease your worries
21:10The six geese are helping you ease your worries
21:12See you in a minute
21:28I left you with a clue, the six geese are helping you ease your worries
21:32And the answer is a laying
21:35The scores are 72 to 28
21:39Paul, it's going to be your letters, but let me ask you
21:43You teach accountants
21:45Have you ever been an accountant?
21:47Very, very briefly
21:49Okay, how can you teach if you've only shortly been an accountant?
21:55Fair question
21:57I was an accountant long enough to get through the exams
22:01It's the sort of thing that when you qualify, you have to be doing it at the same time
22:05So I was only an accountant after I finished my exams for a short period
22:09But the exams themselves were three years
22:11And what are the particular qualities that an accountant should have?
22:17Um, a sense of humour
22:19Oh, I don't think so
22:21I know lots of accountants without a sense of humour
22:26Maybe that's why they need the quality then, because there are so few
22:28Okay, if any of us are choosing an accountant, what are you looking for?
22:34Um, someone who knows how to use the rules in an honest way
22:41Rather than someone who tries to use the rules to their own advantage
22:44Yeah, but Paul, I don't know the rules
22:46That's why you need an accountant
22:48Right, I think I'll let you have your letters
22:52Um, consonant, please
22:54Thank you, Paul
22:55N
22:57And another
22:59R
22:59And another
23:02S
23:03And another
23:05W
23:07A vowel

25:30I.
25:30Seven. Paul? Six. What's your six? Miller. Matt? Rouille? Rouille? Yes, very hard to pronounce this one. Yes, it is
25:43in there. It's a Provencal sauce. You won't like this one because it's got chilli in it and garlic and
25:49other ingredients and it's added to a kind of bouillabaisse.
25:52Anything different over there? Yes, there's an even more unpronounceable one actually which looks very similar to rouille and that
25:59is mouille and that's M-O-U-I-L-L-E-acute accent and it's all to do with phonetics
26:04and linguistics when you palatise a consonant so you're putting your tongue to the top of your mouth.
26:09Okay. And more of your wisdom now please. Well, thanks to Valerie Watson who asked about this expression swinging the
26:18lead and where does that one come from?
26:20What do the original lead swingers do? Asked Valerie. Well, swinging the lead is basically being incredibly lazy so you're
26:27shirking work, you're skiving off, you're malingering so you're not essentially pulling your weight and it is actually all to
26:34do with weight as I'll explain.
26:36It actually goes back at least a century and you'll find it used quite a lot during the First World
26:41War but its origins weren't in the trenches, they were in fact at sea because it's got very much a
26:48nautical theme to it and at sea the lead is a kind of bob or lump of lead suspended by
26:55a string and it's slowly lowered by a sailor or cruise man to measure the depth of water, to sound
27:02the depths or indeed to plumb the depths.
27:04And the reason it's called plumbing the depths is because plumbum for the Romans was a piece of lead, it's
27:10where we get the plumber from because they used to work with lead pipes in those days.
27:14So if you are plumbing the depths, you're doing the same thing, you're sounding out exactly how deep the water
27:20is which of course is very important when you're at sea.
27:23So the job of the leadsman was a really difficult one and you might think then that actually swinging the
27:29lead would mean actually doing an incredibly important valuable 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 would pretend to be slowly lowering the lead and assessing the depth of the
27:46water when in fact they were probably just swinging it about and not doing very much at all.
27:50There is one other theory which is an older military term.
27:54Perhaps it was influenced by that and it was to swing the leg and that is simply because you're swinging
27:59your leg in idleness and just basically, you know, as I say, larking and futzing about and not doing very
28:04much at all.
28:05That might have influenced swinging the lead, we may never know for sure, but I like the nautical and I
28:09like the idea of a sailor just kind of looking as if he's doing a very good job but actually
28:14not doing very much at all.
28:16Thank you, Susie.
28:17You're welcome.
