00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on Friday the 13th.
00:38But I don't care because I think superstition is a lot of hooey and I think we should all stamp
00:44on it.
00:45If I see a ladder, I walk under it. I have a look upstairs first, mind you, but I walk
00:49under it.
00:50What about you, Rachel? Do you believe in all this?
00:52No, don't really believe any of that. No, never done me any harm. Touch wood.
00:56Well, not by the look of it, it certainly hasn't, no. But there are some extraordinary stigmas.
01:01Apparently the London Eye doesn't have a number 13 capsule.
01:05Oh, really?
01:06No.
01:06And poor black cats get left at the rescue centre because nobody wants black cats.
01:11I thought black cats are lucky.
01:13I think, I'm not sure. I think they're supposed to be unlucky. I don't know.
01:16But we don't care, do we?
01:18We don't. I've got a big, fat, black cat and we love her. Beastie. She's on a continuous diet and
01:23she's seven and a half kilos.
01:25She's not.
01:26She is. The diet goes on.
01:28Good Lord. About three of those is your weight, isn't it?
01:34She's the weight of probably at least a one-year-old, I think.
01:37Extraordinary. Another stigma.
01:40One Canada Square, of course, in the very heart of the banking sector at Canary Wharf, doesn't have a 13th
01:47floor either.
01:48Number 13 houses sell for an average, I'm told, of £4,000 less than other houses. Can you believe it?
01:56Really?
01:57Snap them up. Call them 12A.
01:59Yeah, exactly. What?
02:01Precisely. I'm with you, Nick.
02:02Good. I'm glad you are.
02:04Now then, I've got to turn to you, Jack. You're here again. You've got a season ticket, by the look
02:13of it.
02:13And do you know, Rachel, that in every game, I think, you've scored over 100, which is pretty phenomenal. Is
02:20that right?
02:21Yes.
02:22I think that deserves a round of applause, certainly.
02:29And taking on Giant Jack, we've got A.B. Maher. Is that the right way to pronounce it?
02:34Abbey.
02:35I'm sorry.
02:36That's OK.
02:36I was thinking about the Maher, actually.
02:38Maher's right. The Abbey was wrong.
02:41Abbey. Right. And Maher, that's a good Irish name, isn't it?
02:44It is, yeah. It's an Irish name.
02:46Good. You're not Irish.
02:47No, I'm not.
02:47Mum was Irish? Dad was Irish?
02:49He's actually my married name.
02:50Oh, right. Your husband's Irish.
02:52No, they're all Scoses.
02:53Well, I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
02:56But the Scousers, there's always a bit of Irish in Liverpool, isn't there?
03:01Good. Brilliant.
03:02You once poked the Queen in the eye. What's all that about?
03:05I did. My dad was in the army for 30-odd years, and when I was about six months old,
03:11the Queen came to visit our barracks over in Turnhill in Shropshire.
03:14Right.
03:14And my mum thought it would be a fantastic idea to give me a little flag to wave,
03:18and the Queen bent over my pram and I poked her in the eye.
03:21How could you?
03:22I know.
03:22How could you?
03:23Well, don't do it again.
03:24I'll try.
03:25All right.
03:25Well, round of applause, I think, for our contestants.
03:32And over in Dictionary Corner, full of that Friday feeling I trust,
03:36please welcome Susie Dent and Paul Zenon.
03:45Paul, have you joined the Navy?
03:48No, we're just going for the slightly piratical look, you know.
03:52You look like a bit of a Matalo to me.
03:53Yeah, you know, it's just, I've kind of run out of clothes.
03:56I've been on this show so often, you know, I'm kind of, you know, I have to make a weekly
04:00trip to Primark these days.
04:02Ask Rachel if she's got anything you could slip into.
04:04Now then, we're going to start the game, we're going to start the game with a letters game, and Jack,
04:13you're on.
04:14Hi, Rachel.
04:15Hi again, Jack.

05:36Good.
05:37Yeah.
05:37Anything to add?
05:38Not really, just another seven with evading.
05:40And that was about it, really.
05:42Yeah, done a lot there.
05:43What does that give us?
05:44Seven all.

07:12Susie, Paul. Yeah, we thought we got a nine for a minute, but it's an eight, a numerate, because with
07:19an S on numerates, it's not there, is it? Not there as a noun, just as an adjective.
07:22Good. OK. And 14 all. Well done. And Jack, letters game. Consonant place. Thank you, Jack. D. And another. S.

08:38A five. And what would your five be?
08:41Stayed. Stayed. All right. Jack?
08:43And waisted with an I. OK.
08:46Susie? Very good.
08:47Yes, shirt-waisted, for example. That's excellent.
08:49Well done.
08:49Can you take it further?
08:52No, not really.
08:53There's another... Was it a six, wasn't it?
08:55Which is an interesting one.
08:57I'm not going to have to win it, but it's a...
08:59How would you pronounce that? Tawais?
09:00Tawais, yes.
09:00T-O-W-A-I-S.
09:02Just see, looking at the bottom of the page,
09:03there are large New Zealand timber trees.
09:06Tawais.
09:06Oh, we all knew that.
09:08Marvellous.
09:09Well, 21 to 14.
09:11Well done, Abby.
09:12It's a letters game.
09:14And you kick off.
09:15Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:17Thank you, Abby.

09:48Countdown clock.
09:49Well done.
10:17Here you go.
10:20Abby?
10:21I'm going to try a risky seven.
10:23A risky seven. And Jack?
10:25Nine.
10:26A nine. Right. Abby?
10:29Oh, no, I can see the nine.
10:32I'm going to try Myrtles.
10:35Myrtles? OK, how are you spelling that?
10:36M-I-R-T-L-E-S. OK.
10:40The nine, Jack?
10:41Terminals.
10:42Terminals.
10:43Terminals. Absolutely brilliant.
10:45That sounds nice.
10:50I'm curious about the Myrtles.
10:53Well, a Myrtle spelt with a Y is an evergreen shrub,
10:56but there's no Myrtle with the M-I-R, I'm afraid.
10:59Anything else over there?
11:00Yeah, it was quite a healthy one, that.
11:02We had entrails and minstrel for eight,
11:06and also another nine, in fact, with tramlines.
11:09Right. Right, right, right, right, right.
11:13Good. Excellent.
11:14Well, now, let's think about numbers now.
11:16Jack, it's your turn to kick off.
11:19Four large, please.
11:20Your usual four from the top,
11:23and two little ones.
11:25Thank you, Jack.
11:26For this round, the numbers are five and four,
11:29and the large ones, 25, 50, 175, as usual,
11:34and the target to reach, 596.
11:37Five, nine, six.
11:40We're away.
11:41We're away.
11:42We're away.
12:10Jack how did you fare? 596. Abby? 596. Jack. 100 times 5? 100 times 5 is 500.
12:20Add the 75 and the 25. 600. Minus 4. Well done. 596. Well done. Abby? Same way. Same way? Yep.
12:31Very good. 10 points each.
12:39There he is. The magician. Paul what have you got for us today? Well not wishing to put any kind
12:45of jinx on Jack's run here but it is Friday the 13th as we were saying before.
12:49So I'm going to show you a little thing with a mirror because a mirror is quite mysterious things obviously
12:55you know some people think they're a portal into another dimension you know the Alice through the looking glass type
12:59thing.
12:59It being Friday the 13th it would be very unlucky to break this particularly if you did it with a
13:04black cat under a ladder. We're not going to go that far.
13:07But the important thing about this is to make sure it's solid glass. It's not plastic. It doesn't have any
13:12trap doors or holes or anything like that.
13:14So just give that a good bang make sure it's solid glass. Too much for a good bang. Go on.
13:17That's it. Bit harder. Go on. Go on. Come here.
13:21It's okay. Fine. I think we've proved the point. So what we're going to do is put that in this
13:25little bag. This is what I've been busy doing over the winter months is knitting this little bag for this.
13:30And what we're going to try is a rather strange thing here where I'm going to break the mirror but
13:34in a very subtle way.
13:36And the subtle way is using this. The knitting needle of doom. Okay. Razor sharp. Boom. And four and a
13:43half millimetre. We're not messing about.
13:46Right. So you can hear that. You can see it's solid. But watch this as we very subtly break the
13:54mirror. The needle goes right through.
13:55You see that? It goes through the middle there. And it goes through the other middle. There. It goes through
14:02that end middle there.
14:04You see? But it's still solid. That's the weird thing. You hear that? Yeah. But weirdly you can do that
14:09for as long as you like.
14:11Here's the really weird bit though where you go and bend the whole mirror. It's still solid but it's bendy.
14:18You know it's all gloriously pointless of course.
14:22And if you want to know how this is done the secret is it's all done with mirrors.
14:29Very good. You'd be a hell of a chap with a stiletto wouldn't you?
14:38Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I've got no idea how you do these things. Good.
14:42But I'm going to pay you heavily one of these days to find out.
14:46Now it's time for our tea time teaser. And the teaser is I see Norma.
14:52And the clue Norma's icy because there's bitterness in the air.
15:12I left you with the clue Norma's icy because there's bitterness in the air.
15:16And the answer of course is acrimony. Acrimony.
15:19Okay. So Abby I turn to you. Letters. Off you go Abby.
15:25Okay. Can I start with a consonant again please Rachel.
15:28Thank you Abby.

16:48Susie and Paul? Yeah, just a run of six is nothing better than that. There were a few others with
16:53pursue and profuse. Oh, actually, profuse is a seven. Well done. This is why she does this bit. I do
17:02the numbers round.
17:03Well, where are we on this? Jack, our champ at the moment, is 55 and Abby is not far behind

18:26go ahead. Abashed. Yes. Abashed. Abashed. We're all abashed. Yep. What does the corner have to tell us?
18:35Nothing apart from the definition of abashed, just out of interest, because we've got nothing else. Yeah, the abashed is
18:40to feel embarrassed or disconcerted, comes from a friend. And that's pretty much all we can get out of that.
18:45It is.
18:45Good. Abby, you're still in touch. 37 to 62. And it's letters game. Off you go.
18:52OK. Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?

20:21A minaret. I'm certain of that.
20:24Minaret is great, Jack.
20:26Mainer, not there, Abby, I'm afraid.
20:29OK.
20:30Bad luck.
20:31Susie. Paul.
20:32Yeah, quite a few sevens, actually, overall, isn't there?
20:34Fancier, Carmine, Fireman, Certain,
20:38but nothing to beat seven, I don't think.
20:40No.
20:40Right, so 69 to 37, Jack leads,

21:48And a vowel, please.
21:50And a vowel, please.
21:56Jack? Just a five.
21:58Oh, that's unlike you, Jack.
22:00Abby? Five.
22:02A five. Jack?
22:03Value.
22:05Value? Yes.
22:07Abby? Pilau. Yes, absolutely.
22:09Pilau rice, very good. Good.
22:11Yeah, nice fives. What news from Dictionary Corner?
22:13Well, there was only one other viable answer there,
22:16which was viable for six.
22:18OK.
22:19OK, so two fives, that leaves us 74 to 42,
22:25and we go to Susie for her origin of words.
22:29We had what... Excuse my French yesterday, I think.
22:32Pardon my French.
22:33Pardon my French.
22:34And today, judging by the beginning of the show,
22:37one thing you absolutely don't have is trisciidekaphobia,
22:42which is a word meaning a fear of the number 13.
22:46Some people obviously regard 13 as a marker of bad luck,
22:49and it's a very ancient superstition,
22:51and some people credit it to the Last Supper,
22:54after which Jesus was betrayed by one of the 13 present,
22:58but others put the idea much further back into Hindu mythology.
23:01But the term's often extended to mean a fear of Friday the 13th,
23:05and that's a double dose of unluckiness,
23:06because in some cultures,
23:08Fridays have been long regarded as a day of bad luck,
23:10because Christ was crucified on that day.
23:13And it was once thought especially unlucky by mariners
23:16who really never wanted to set sail on a Friday.
23:19So trisciidekaphobia, if you want to use that word.
23:22So the word's origins are all Greek.
23:24It comes from tris meaning three,
23:26chi meaning and,
23:27deka is ten,
23:28so making 13 in all,
23:29plus phobia,
23:30a fear or fright.
23:31Brilliant.
23:32Brilliant.
23:33Well done.
23:37Good, sir.
23:38Abby, I turn to you.
23:39It's the second numbers game of the day.
23:42And you're on.
23:43Can we go one, two, one, two, please, Rachel?
23:45We can indeed, Abby.
23:46One and two and a one and a two.
23:49That's for the rows, in case you didn't know, Nick.
23:51So we have five small and one large,
23:53and for this round the small ones are four, five, six,
23:57another five and another six,
24:00and the large one's 75,
24:02and your target's 721.
24:04Seven, two, one.
24:06Go.
24:07Go.
24:38How did you fare, Abby?
24:40Seven, 20, I think.
24:42Mm-hmm.
24:43Jack?
24:44I think I've got it.
24:45Let's see how you, uh, how you did it.
24:48Okay, um, 75 plus five.
24:5075 plus five is 80.
24:53Um, five plus four is nine.
24:54Other five, and four for nine.
24:56Um, times them together for 720.
24:58Yep.
24:59And six over six is one.
25:00It is indeed.
25:01Well done, 71.
25:03Well done.
25:07Well done, Jack.
25:0884, moving towards your yet another century.
25:13And now I'm dealing with T-time teasers.
25:17The teaser is Avenge It.
25:19Avenge It.
25:19And the clue, very downbeat about the brown piece of film.
25:32APPLAUSE
25:38Welcome back.
25:40And the clue, remember, very downbeat about the brown piece of film.
25:43Um, negative, not difficult.

27:03Abby?
27:04I think I've got an eight.
27:06An eight.
27:07Let's have Jack's thoughtful seven.
27:11Inkiest.
27:12Inkiest.
27:13Yeah, why not?
27:15Abby?
27:16Kinetics.
27:17Well done.
27:18It's absolutely brilliant.
27:19The branch of chemistry or biochemistry concerned with measuring and studying the rates of reactions.
27:24Well done.
27:24Well done.
27:25Well done.
27:29And with all your kinetic energy, can you take us further?
27:32What do you think?
27:33No.
27:34No, I think we even cheated on that one.
27:36We got that just after the clock, kinetics, but that was great.
27:38Yeah, well done.
27:38Inkiest also, very good.
27:39Very good.
27:41So, it's a letters game, Abby.
27:42Off you go.
27:45Let's start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
27:46Thank you, Abby.

28:16And a final.
28:18I.
28:18Thank you, Abby.
28:20Glocks are on.
28:21And a hai, please.
28:53Abby.
28:54Six.
28:54A six. And Jack?
28:56I'm six.
28:56A six. Abby, you're six.
28:58Grimy.
28:59Grimy.
29:00Jack?
29:01Mopier.
29:02Mopier.
29:04Mopier, so I'm just going to check Grimy with the E.
29:07I think, Abby, that you can only have it without the E.
29:09Yes, I'm afraid it's G-R-I-M-Y.
29:12No worries.
29:13OK.
29:13Another couple of sixes, but that was all.
29:16We've got regime and empire.
29:18Good. OK.

30:33And what would that six be?
30:35Ozones.
30:36And Jack?
30:37Lunar.
30:38Lunar.
30:40Right.
30:40Very nice.
30:41Very nice.
30:41Are you happy with that?
30:43I, just double check.
30:44Abby will hate me for this.
30:45I'm just going to double check.
30:46Come on, ozones.
30:49No, it's a mass now, I'm afraid, Abby.
30:52I'm really sorry.
30:53No worries.
30:54Bash me over the head later.
30:56Sorry.
30:58Ah, Jack, Jack, Jack.
31:0097.
31:01Three short, 50.
31:02And we go into the final numbers game.
31:06And Abby, it's your show.
31:08Can we go one, two, one, two again, please, Rachel?
31:10We can indeed.
31:11Thank you, Abby.
31:12One, two, one, and a two.
31:14And the last numbers game this week is five, one, nine, eight, four, and a large one this
31:23time, 25.
31:24And the last target of the week, 943.

31:561043.
32:00How did you fare, Abbey?
32:02945.
32:04945. Jack?
32:05I'll try 943, not written down.
32:08Right, off you go.
32:09OK, 25 plus 5.
32:1225 plus 5 is 30.

32:16Times 4, 120.
32:18Minus 1.
32:19Minus 119.
32:21Times by 8.
32:22Times by 8 for 952.
32:26And minus 9.
32:27And you haven't used a 9.
32:29Very well done.
32:30943.
32:30Well done.
32:36Well done, Jack.
32:37Well, you've done it again.
32:40107.
32:41Yeah, very, very commendable.
32:42And now it's conundrum time.
32:45So it's fingers on buzzers, please.
32:47And let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:20Ah.
33:22I'm not sure. Jack, nick of time. Mosquited.
33:27Don't be ridiculous. Jack, coming from a champ? What did you say? Mosquited.
33:32Abby, you've got two seconds.
33:35No. Well, abject failure here. Anybody in the audience?
33:40Oh, hands all over the place. Raised. Yes, you, sir.
33:45Misquoted. Misquoted. Let's see whether you're right.
33:50Well done.
33:54Well done.
33:56And you've beaten the champ. Shame on you, Jack. Shame on you.
34:01How you can look me in the eye.
34:04Abby, we have to say sayonara to you, but you don't leave empty-handed.
34:09You've got a goodie bag with you. Well done, Jack. Yeah, well done.
34:13Really tremendous. Pretty formidable, don't you think, Susie?
34:16I would. Yeah, I think excellent, Jack. Well done.
34:18Yeah, and we've got to say cheerio to you, Paul, but you're not leaving so fast, pal, because we're having
34:27another trick from you.
34:28We are. Just a quickie. And it's just to prove once and for all that Friday the 13th isn't actually
34:32unlucky.
34:33In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's lucky. And so much so that I'm going to put
34:37my money on this lottery ticket.
34:39And the interesting thing about this is I know this is a winner even before I fill it in.
34:43We don't have to wait for tomorrow or anything, because all you need to do with this lucky ticket is
34:46just give it a little flick like that,
34:48and it immediately changes. It's not a huge amount of money, but it changes into a tenner like that.
34:53Really? Thank you very much.
34:59Sort of alchemy, really, I think, isn't it?
35:02Anyway, and so we say farewell to you, Rachel, in your birthday week. Anything planned for the weekend?
35:08I'm not sure. Something fun?
35:10A bit of surprise?
35:10I think I'll probably relax. How about you? You must need to relax after your first week on Countdown.
35:14I've enjoyed it a lot, and I'll enjoy seeing you at home, same time, on Monday. Have a good weekend.
35:31Back for the new year, Davina and the million pound drop live return tonight at nine.
35:37Next today, could a quarter of a million pounds drop into the lap of one of the contestants?
35:42It's deal or no deal.
