00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on the 26th of January.
00:38Australia Day. I don't know why we've particularly picked that, but apparently Australia Day commemorates the time when England's first
00:46fleet pitched into Sydney Cove way back in 1788.
00:50I've never been to Australia. I don't feel the tug. What about you, Rachel?
00:55No, I've never been. A bit of a long way. You've got to go for an extended holiday, haven't you?
00:58You have, and you've got to sit in that aircraft for days on end. Yeah.
01:02Yeah, I've never fancied it.
01:03Michael, you know all about Australia. You've given them a punishing time from time to time.
01:09Erm, I wouldn't say I have, but the team that...
01:12Oh, here we go.
01:12The number one team in the world have, they went down there last year and won 3-1, so...
01:17Yeah.
01:17It was very nice to sit and commentate Australia getting pounced on the...
01:21Oh, you were down there?
01:22I was there, yes. Celebrating in Sydney.
01:24Good for you.
01:25Did you have a drink at all, Michael?
01:27Not at all.
01:27Not at all.
01:29Not at all.
01:29Not at all.
01:29Every time we talked to Michael, he managed to insinuate alcohol into the conversation.
01:36Right?
01:36Well, you do.
01:38Oh, maybe it is me.
01:39Maybe it is me.
01:40It's all my fault.
01:41It's always my fault.
01:42Anyway, I'll be back to you later on.
01:44He's been punishing me, Rachel, that Michael Vaughan.
01:47Anyway, I shall get my own back.
01:49I'm looking at a chap that scored 101 yesterday.
01:52Sri, how are you feeling?
01:54Quite good, Nick.
01:55Yeah?
01:56Just to add to yours, the other team that England beat recently, India also celebrates Republic
02:00Day today.
02:01Oh, right.
02:02Good.
02:03Well, there we are.
02:03We're full of commemorative days.
02:06So, how are you feeling?
02:07You did well yesterday.
02:08Quite...
02:09Feeling strong?
02:11Yeah.
02:11Let's see how it goes.
02:12All right.
02:13And I see that you support somewhere near Newcastle.
02:17I do.
02:18Newcastle United.
02:19Strong chap?
02:20Yep.
02:21Yeah?
02:21And David, you're a revenue management analyst.
02:24I don't know how that sounds like that at all.
02:26From Watford.
02:27What does that mean?
02:28I look at the on-rent car figures for Europe car.
02:32Oh, I see.
02:33Okay.
02:33And you were in the RAF for eight years.
02:35You served in the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
02:39I did.
02:40Tough places, yeah?
02:41Yeah.
02:42And which was the most recent?
02:43Afghanistan.
02:44All right.
02:44And when was that?
02:45Last Christmas.
02:46How long were you there for?
02:47Three months.
02:49Really?
02:49And what were you doing?
02:50I was working on the tornado aircraft as an armourer.
02:53Armourer?
02:53Yeah.
02:53You were loading the bombs?
02:54Yeah.
02:55Ah, good for you mate.
02:56Good for you.
02:56I'm very pleased to see you here.
02:58Good.
02:59So, a big round of applause for our contestants.
03:02Three and David.
03:08And let's say good day to Dictionary Corner's Susie Dent and the Ashes winning cricket captain,
03:14Michael Vaughan, who is always difficult with me.
03:16How are you?
03:17Very good.
03:20Good.
03:22So, Australia.
03:23Any good memories?
03:25Wonderful memories?
03:26Fun memories that you can actually remember through that alcoholic haze?
03:33It's always the best tour.
03:34You know, as much as, you know, in the 90s, early 2000s, you know, England got a pouncing
03:39on a regular basis, it's always the best place to go and play cricket.
03:42You know, for one, the England support down there is massive.
03:45There always seems to be 20,000 now.
03:47I mean, in Sydney last year when England won 3-1, there wasn't any Australians in the ground
03:52by day four because they'd all gone home and England were celebrating with 30,000 fans.
03:56So, for the support, the Australian tour is always the best for the England team.
04:00All right.
04:00We'll leave it at that.
04:01So, Sri, our incumbent champion, I turn to you to kick things off today.
04:07It's a letters game.

12:15And David?
12:17I haven't got nothing.
12:18Okay.
12:20Let's hear your 535, three.
12:22Seven times eight.
12:24Seven times eight.
12:25Eight, 56.
12:26Uh, times ten.
12:28Is 560.
12:29Take it at four.
12:31And take away.
12:32Take away.
12:34Uh, 25, sorry.
12:35Yeah.
12:35Well done.
12:36One away.
12:36Five, three, five.
12:37All right.
12:38And Rachel, could you take us to the, uh, right to the line?
12:41Slightly after the clock.
12:43Um, but if you say 25 minus seven is 18.
12:48Multiplied by eight and you get 144.
12:51Take away one of the tens for 134.
12:54And times that by four.
12:56The five, three, six.
12:57Excellent.
12:58Well done.
13:03Rachel is perfect.
13:06Michael, tell us a story.
13:08A story.
13:09Um, on the football theme, actually, you're wearing a shirt.
13:12When you're captain now and again, you're allowed to be a little bit selfish.
13:16And in 2005, I kind of used that to my advantage.
13:19That we were playing Bangladesh at Lourdes.
13:22And I've never really openly talked about this.
13:24But I wanted to get to the playoff final at Cardiff to watch Sheffield Wednesday v Hartlepool
13:30on the Sunday kickoff three o'clock.
13:32Ooh.
13:32So I declared rather early on the Saturday, allowing us to win on the Saturday night.
13:37So it allowed me to get to Cardiff on the Sunday.
13:40Ooh, dear.
13:41We won the game, but I just decided to just move the game forward a little bit faster than
13:45maybe it could have been.
13:46All right.
13:47You can do that as a captain.
13:48Can you?
13:48Susie, is this a reportable offence?
13:51Is it?
13:52I was just thinking about all the spectators who would have been watching and how much they
13:56hate you now.
13:58But at least they got to watch a good game of football on the Sunday on telly.
14:02Which bowler did you most fear in your days as a batsman there?
14:07I think Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.
14:10I think they're probably the two greatest combinations that the game's ever seen.
14:15Particularly Shane Warne.
14:17Shane Warne is an X-factor kind of player who would bring life to any game of cricket
14:22and he's now bringing life to everything that he does away from the game.
14:26Yeah.
14:26Real character.
14:27And you're in good touch with him?
14:28You're still in touch with him?
14:29I'd like to go out for dinner with him.
14:31He's now about to get married to Liz Hurley.
14:33So it's not wanting to go out for dinner with Shane.
14:35It's more to go out for dinner with Liz to be honest.
14:37Well, do report back when you've had that chance and wonderful encounter.
14:42But in the meantime, time for a tea time teaser.
14:46And the teaser is Find Yeti.
14:50Find Yeti.
14:51And the clue?
14:52Find Yeti and work out exactly what it is.
15:10Welcome back.
15:11And the clue?
15:11Find Yeti and work out exactly what it is.
15:14And the answer, of course, is identify.
15:17Identify.
15:19So, 25 to 3 and 17.
15:21Still in touch there for David as we turn to you, David, for a letters game on game six.
15:29Consonant, please, Rachel.

16:47A lineman.
16:49How are you spelling that?
16:50L-I-N-E-M-A-N.
16:52Lineman.
16:52Um, we certainly have fireman and everything else, potman, and lineman.
16:57Yeah, absolutely fine.
16:59It's something to do with railways, was it?
17:01Uh, yes, it is absolutely to do with railways.
17:03Good.
17:03Very well done.
17:04Do you have anything further for us, Michael?
17:06You do.
17:07We have an A, dentinal.
17:09Yes.
17:09Dentinal, what's that?
17:10Sounds too close to my nickname for comfort, really.
17:13D-E-N-T-I-N-A-L.
17:14It is an adjective relating to dentine, which is the hard, dense, bony tissue forming the bulk of a tooth.
17:20Well, good.
17:23Dentinal.
17:25Three, 32 to David, 17.

22:02And David?
22:03A risky eight.
22:05A risky eight.
22:06Let's hear Sree, seven.
22:08Version.
22:09Version, OK.
22:11And David?
22:12Introses.
22:13Um, I'm actually on the right page.
22:16I have to say it's not there.
22:18Um, introvert, introversion, all those sort of things, but not introves, I'm afraid.
22:23Bad luck.
22:23OK.
22:24So what have we got, Susie, Michael?
22:26We have a nine.
22:27A nine.
22:28Go on.
22:29Inventors.
22:30Inventors.
22:31Brilliant.
22:31Well done.
22:35We're at 54 for Sree and 17 for David, but now it's classroom time.
22:41Come, Susie, origins of words.
22:43What have you got for us?
22:44I don't know you well enough, Nick, to know whether you're a food lover, a gastronome, or
22:48an epicurean, but I thought I would talk about food terms that have some not altogether appetising
22:54origins, I'm afraid.
22:56And I'll start with vermicelli, direct translation of which is little worms.
23:02Linguini are little tongues.
23:05Lobster, actually, was named after a locust.
23:08Apparently, it was thought to be similar in shape.
23:12Burrito, Mexican burrito, is actually a small donkey.
23:15That's where it took its name from, perhaps because it's rolled up like the bedrolls and
23:19the packs that donkeys carry.
23:21And lasagna, as regular viewers will know, my favourite, is named after a chamber pot,
23:27because the shape of the original lasagna cooking pots were rather similar to those used
23:31originally for other purposes.
23:38We have quite a lot of lasagna at home, and I'm now going to put a stop to it.
23:43It's going to be a forbidden dish.
23:45So, round ten, David, it's a numbers game.
23:47Off you go.
23:48Six more ones, please, Rachel.
23:49Six more ones.
23:50You're a gambling man.
23:52Thank you, David.
23:53Six little ones.
23:55And for this round, the six small are eight, six, two, ten, six, and nine.

24:45And Sree?

24:47One, two, seven.
24:48Let's hear yours, Sree.
24:50Six plus six.

25:08Your dad played here.
25:10He did.
25:10Yeah?
25:11How did he do?
25:12He won two and then lost on the third one.
25:14All right.
25:14Is he watching?
25:15I hope so.
25:16All right.
25:17Cover your eyes, Dad.
25:18Cover your eyes.
25:18Because now we're moving to our tea time teaser.
25:23New skill.

25:45So, welcome back.
25:47You'll remember, they leave his nibs feeling black and blue.
25:50And the answer, inkwells.

25:54And so it is that we return to the game.
25:57Sree on 64.

27:18And David?
27:20Pistoned.

27:32Bad luck. I mean, it was a good shot at it, but you did say it was risky.
27:35Michael?
27:36Very bad luck.
27:37A couple of eights, deposit, and dopiness.
27:40Well done.

27:56Yeah.
27:57What happened?
27:58I had a zero percent success rate.
28:00Oh dear, you haven't been killing them, or they just didn't ever sort of catch on?
28:04No, they just never caught on.
28:05You must be doing something wrong.
28:06I am.
28:07You know what I mean?
28:08Anyway, it's a letters game. Off you go, David.

29:48Meaning tobacco
29:49Because it's related to the tobacco plant
29:51Well, I'm doused

31:26For cuts
31:26Desperately looking for cuttable myself
31:28And it's just not there, I'm afraid
31:30No derivatives listed for cuts at all, in fact
31:32So, I'm very sorry
31:33Oh, bad luck

33:39They don't come much quicker than that.
33:41Well done.
33:42So, that takes you up to 97.
33:44Just short of the 101 you scored yesterday.
33:47David, well done on 24.
33:49But, I'm afraid, you're going home.
33:51But you're going home with a goodie bag.
33:54Well done.
33:54It's good to see you.
33:55And don't let your dad give you a hard time.
33:59Susie and Michael.
34:00There we go.
34:01It was a good game.
34:02Very, very good.
34:03Thank you very much for all your help.
34:04And who were your cricketing icons as a young man, Michael?
34:08Um, Chris Waddell.
34:10Yeah, because?
34:12When I was a kid growing up, I actually watched football and played more football than I did
34:15cricket until I was about 13, 14.
34:18Because you had a test for Sheffield Wednesday, didn't you?
34:21It lasted one day.
34:22Why?
34:23It was a week-long trial and it was like the X Facts.
34:25Every day they kind of got rid of a few.
34:27And on day one I got kind of told not to come back.
34:30So, I then started to play a bit more cricket.
34:32Okay.
34:33But quite a lot of cricketers, you know, were good at football.
34:36I think both of them was a good footballer.
34:38Both of them played for Scunthorpe.
34:39Yeah.
34:40While he was playing for Worcester and England.
34:42In the winters when they weren't sore and he'd go and play for Scunthorpe.
34:44Yeah.
34:45My missus comes from Scunthorpe.
34:47Well, near Scunthorpe, anyway.
34:49So, Rachel, think about Australia.
34:53I'm thinking already about how I can beef up my tractor offer to you.
34:58And tomorrow I think I'm going to have an enhancement.
35:02Oh, in tractor terms.
35:04We'll wait for tomorrow.
35:06I'll talk to you about my enhancement tomorrow.
35:08But in the meantime, I hope you had fun here today in the Countdown Studio.
35:13And we look forward to seeing you again tomorrow at the same time.
35:17Be sure of it.
35:17Good afternoon.
35:19APPLAUSE
35:20year of fame.
