00:30Good afternoon and welcome to Countdown.
00:32Christmas is nearly here, which means, of course, we're being bombarded with TV ads of all those must-have gifts.
00:39We should remember, though, there are lots of things that money can't buy.
00:43Unfortunately, none of them are on my kids' Christmas list.
00:46One of the nicest things about the lead-up of Christmas that I've always thought is the carols and carol
00:51singers, you know.
00:52And it's great to hear, oh, come all ye faithful and hark, the herald angels sing a silent night.
00:58Love all those things.
00:59Hi, Rachel.
00:59Do you get carol singers round your way?
01:01No, luckily.
01:02Luckily?
01:03I'm not a big fan of carols.
01:05We were forced to sing various ones as a child, but I'm not particularly interested.
01:10I'll keep to the presents and the chocolate and all that on the festivities, but not the carols really can
01:14keep them.
01:15Well, that's the spirit of Christmas for you, isn't it?
01:17The presents and the chocolates, for goodness sake.
01:20It's not my priority straight.
01:21I love it when the Dean Village Choir arrive on our doorstep.
01:25It's fantastic.
01:26It's one of the best nights of the year.
01:27I have to tell you, I was drummed out of a school choir when I was a kid, though.
01:30This is absolutely true.
01:30A voice like a bullcrog.
01:33I doubt I've heard it.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Oh, no, no, it's matured.
01:37It's much richer than it used to be.
01:38But in those days, there were only two of us who didn't make the school choir, so the alternative then
01:43was some bongo drums you could play on the triangle.
01:46But unfortunately, I couldn't keep beat on the bongos either, so I had a significant job of tinging the triangle
01:52at the beginning and the end of each song.
01:54How masculine, Jack.
01:55I tell you what.
01:56All the ladies love the triangle players.
01:58That's right.
01:59That's right.
02:00Let's meet our contestants, shall we, because it's a big day for them.
02:03It's the first semifinal of this particular series.
02:05Let's meet Carl, first of all.
02:07He's a self-employed consultant from Burton-on-Trent.
02:10And in our quarterfinal game yesterday against the fifth seed, James Wisniewski, Carl spotted words like pricier, rationed and gonads,
02:19who's there as well.
02:20He sold all three numbers round and notched up 98 points in a very impressive victory.
02:25So nine wins under his belt for Carl now, and a countdown running total of 806.
02:31Those are the statistics.
02:32But this is a big one, Carl.
02:34Are you ready for it?
02:34Certainly am, yes, Geoff.
02:35Good.
02:36OK.
02:37Could hardly have a tougher task, could you?
02:39Well, someone's got to beat him at some point, so I'll give him my best.
02:41OK.
02:42Let's meet the hymn in question, shall we?
02:47The hymn in question is Mark Deeks, who's a law student from Bruffing in Hertfordshire.
02:51And in his quarterfinal last Thursday, he produced some astonishing words.
02:58Mestizo, nepeta, regulo, pesewa, and the blooming lovely nine-letter gardenias.
03:05And his performance ended with him spotting the conundrum Laundra in less than five seconds.
03:10Pretty good.
03:10Score of 116, a running total of 940.
03:15And he always brings a ray of sunshine at the studios as well.
03:19Don't you mind?
03:27Brilliant.
03:27He's promising he wins the whole thing, the whole kit and caboodle.
03:30It gives a big smile.
03:32No, I didn't.
03:33I never said that.
03:36Mark Deeks, our top seed against the number four seed, Carl Williams.
03:46And please welcome Dictionary Corner's Susie Dent and the merry Impressionist, John Culshaw.
03:54You do get the feeling this is going to be epic, isn't it?
03:59Carl the Truth Williams versus Danger Man Mark Deeks.
04:02Let's get ready to rumble.
04:03It is.
04:03This is Manchester United against Manchester City, isn't it?
04:06It's Arsenal against Chelsea.
04:07It's all of those things.
04:08Actually, sport must be a pretty rich vein for you, isn't it?
04:12Oh, yes.
04:13My favourite, I think my favourite football manager.
04:15Probably with his long hesitation, Fabio Capello, about the, I say to the players how
04:22to win the game, and the players don't do what I say to the players to win the game.
04:26But, er...
04:30Closely followed by, quite a fan of Arsene Wenger's voice.
04:34And his catchphrases, which seem to be, I did not see it.
04:37You might think this, but I do not think this, because I did not see it.
04:41But you may think that, but whatever.
04:45See, Susie has always wanted to be in a room with Arsene Wenger.
04:47This is the nearest you've ever got, isn't it, Susie?
04:49It is the absolute closest I'll ever get, sadly.
04:51But it was very good.
04:53Thank you very much.
04:54Let's pass on with this semi-final, shall we?
04:56Carl is in the right-hand seat.
04:57It means he gets first pick of the letters.
04:58Off you go, Carl.
04:59Start with the constant, please, Rachel.
05:01Thank you, Carl.
05:01Start with Y.

05:59A consonant, please.
06:02Mark, how many?
06:04I'll stay at seven.
06:06And Carl? Seven as well.
06:07What's yours, Carl? Floater.
06:09And yours, Mark? Floater as well.
06:12Yes, two floaters over here.
06:14We also got bloater.
06:16So we got bloater and floater.
06:17We just needed the midnight toker.
06:22But another seven in bloater.
06:24Yes, seven's all round.
06:26Carl and Mark both on the scoreboard.
06:27Straight away, seven points apiece for floater.
06:30Mark, it's your pick.
06:31Consonant, please.
06:32Thanks, Mark.
06:34C.
06:34And vowel.

06:46Another consonant.
06:48H.
06:49Vowel.
06:51I.
06:52Consonant.
06:54L.
06:57Finish with a vowel, please.
06:59And finish with...
07:00E.
07:02And your 30 seconds starts now.
07:04E.
07:35Carl, what have you got?
07:37Try seven.
07:38And Mark?
07:39Seven.
07:39What's yours, Mark?
07:40Vehicle.
07:41And Carl?
07:42I've got Hemiola written down.
07:45Hemiola?
07:45Oh, not Hemiola, but...
07:47Oh, OK.
07:48Yeah, let's see if I go.
07:50You sound convinced, Carl.
07:52I hope we're more than anything.
07:54Hemiola would definitely be there.
07:57It is, but not Hemiola, I'm afraid.
08:00Sorry, Hemiola is a musical term, but...
08:03Bad luck.
08:04Vehicle is excellent for seven.
08:06Is there anything to match that?
08:07Yeah, nothing beyond seven, but rather a nice five.
08:10Homey.
08:11Yes, that was rather nice.
08:14Vehicle means that Mark moves into an early lead.
08:17Carl's got seven, Mark's got 14.
08:19Carl, it's your choice.
08:20Sort the vowels, please.
08:21Thank you, Carl.
08:22E.
08:23And another one.
08:25U.
08:26And the third.

08:38D.
08:39Another consonant.
08:42M.
08:45And a final consonant, please.
08:47And a final N.
08:49And time starts now.
08:51T.
08:51T.
08:52T.
08:53Let's go.
09:03Let's go.
09:24Oh, six, but I haven't written it down.
09:26OK.
09:26Carl?
09:27Seven.
09:28OK.
09:29What's the six, Mark?
09:30Lusted.
09:31And the seven, Carl?
09:33Smelted.
09:35Smelted.
09:35Very nice.
09:36Yep.
09:37Yeah.
09:37Smelted.
09:38Very good for seven.
09:40Can we improve on that at all?
09:41Well, Susie got this after about, I think it was four seconds.
09:45An eight, unmelted, which is rather ingenious.
09:51Unmelted, indeed, for eight.
09:54Smelted's great for Carl, though it brings him back on to level terms.
09:57Carl has 14, and so does Mark.
10:00Mark, it's your choice.
10:01Consonant, please.
10:02Thank you, Mark.
10:27And a final consonant, please.
10:29And a final L.
10:31And here's the countdown clock.
11:04Carl, how many?
11:05Seven.
11:06Mark?
11:07Seven.
11:08What's yours, Mark?
11:09Spoiled.
11:10And yours, Carl?
11:13Slopped.
11:15Slopped and slopped.
11:16Yes.
11:17OK.
11:18Very good for seven.
11:19Any alternatives over there, John, Susie?
11:21Yeah, there's quite a variety of sevens.
11:24Dispoiled, slipped, dollies, all for seven.
11:29There's also Pope's for five, which is the name of a shop I used to work at.
11:33In the 80s.
11:33No.
11:34That's just for me.
11:35What sort of shop was that?
11:37An electrical shop, washing machines and ZX Spectrums and the computers of the day.
11:42Mikey, when did you do that?
11:431983.
11:45It's a big move from that to being an impressionist, isn't it?
11:47A wee bit.
11:48Yes, yes.
11:49I take it through.
11:51Carl, 21.
11:52Mark, also on 21.
11:54Time to move on to the first numbers round of the contest then.
11:57Carl, it's you to select them, please.
11:59We'll go with six more, please.
12:00Go with smix.
12:02Smix?
12:02Smix small.
12:04Why not?
12:05Smix small.
12:05Anyway, this smix are seven, one, two, nine, six, and another nine.
12:16And the target are 488.
12:19And your 30 smix start now.
12:20Smix small.
12:52Look, you're 488 then.
12:54Mark, how close?
12:56488.
12:57And Carl?
12:58488.
12:58OK.
12:59Mark, let's have yours, please.
13:02Nine times seven.
13:04Nine times seven is 63.
13:06Take away two.
13:0761.
13:08And then hopefully you can make eight out of nine minus one.
13:11You can.
13:12And the other one.
13:12Times it together.
13:13Yes.
13:14Very well done.
13:15Very good.
13:16Carl, say a method or something different?
13:18Different.
13:18Nine times nine.
13:19Nine times nine, 81.
13:22Times the six.
13:23Times the six, 486.
13:25And add the two.
13:26And add the two.
13:27488 again.
13:28Well done.
13:34It's already turning into a cracking semi-final, isn't it?
13:37Carl on 31.
13:38Mark also on 31.
13:41We're up to Dictionary Corner, though, right now, because a man of many faces and many voices
13:45is with us all this week.
13:46John Culshaw.
13:47John, what have you got for us today?
13:48Well, one of my favourite characters, Professor Brian Cox, because I like the way that he explains
13:53science through his experiments, a bit like this.
13:58And what it's possible to do by using water in containers like this and using this to represent
14:05the sun, we can calculate by putting this in the midday sun and measuring with a thermometer
14:11how long it takes the water to raise by one degree.
14:15From that, we can extrapolate the energy given off by the whole of the sun.
14:20And it comes to 10 million times the energy output of the United States in one second.
14:27And you can learn all that from this.
14:30But my favourite thing about what you can do with this is sort of play the countdown music
14:34on it, sort of.
14:47I've practised several minutes for that.
14:49I hope it was worth it.
14:51I suspect not.
14:54Brilliant, John.
14:56First teaser of the day coming up right now.
14:58The words are cod trees.
15:00Cod trees.
15:01And the clue, went with somebody to buy an old Ford car.
15:06Went with somebody to buy an old Ford car.
15:22Yes, went with somebody to buy an old Ford car.
15:25Escorted is the answer to our first teaser of the day.
15:28This is our first semifinal.
15:30And it's turning out to be an absolute cracker with Carl Williams on 31.
15:35And Mark Deeks, likewise, on 31.
15:38Let's see if they can be separated by the next round.
15:40Mark, it's your selection.
15:42Consonant, please.
15:43Thank you, Mark.

16:51OK, what's the five, Mark?
16:52Saddo.
16:56And the six, Carl?
16:58Adjust.
16:58Yes, it is there.
17:00Well done.
17:01Adjust the six.
17:03Adjust as good as it gets, John, Susie?
17:06I think it is.
17:07There's joust for five.
17:10Toads for another five.
17:12But it doesn't beat adjust.
17:14Just the one six that we could see, that was adjust.
17:17And it means that Carl has edged in front.
17:19He's got 37.
17:20Mark has 31.

22:03And like, it's right now.
22:04Mark, how many this time?
22:07Six.
22:08And Carl?
22:10I'll have to say with six as well.
22:12OK, what's yours, Carl?
22:13Cornet.
22:14And yours, Mark?
22:15Rocket.
22:16Cornet and Rockets.
22:18Yeah.
22:19Can we improve on six, John, Susie?
22:21No, we're still in the land of the sixes with Reckon and Conquer,
22:25but nothing beyond six.
22:27OK.
22:29Carl's got 56 at the moment.
22:31Mark has 42.
22:33Just a little respite for them because we're back on the dictionary corner.
22:36It's Origins of Words time once again.
22:38Susie, it's all yours.
22:40Well, we all like to vamp it up at our Christmas party.
22:44But where does vamp come from?
22:46For around 1200, the vamp was the part of the stocking that covered the foot and the ankle.
22:51And from the 17th century, it was the upper front part of a boot or a shoe.
22:55And the word comes from a very early form of a French term, avant-pied,
22:59which means literally before the foot.
23:01And one of the cobblers at regular tasks was to replace vamps.
23:06And the verb soon took off to describe vamping boots, vamping shoes, repairing them in that way.
23:11And then it gave rise to a very general sense of vamp, meaning to improvise.
23:15And that sense still survives in jazz and in pop music, in fact,
23:18where to vamp is to repeat a short and very simple passage of music.
23:21But the vamp who uses her attractions to exploit men is a very early 20th century shortening of vampire.
23:28Nothing to do with shoes.
