00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio with just a week to go before Christmas and two weeks until
00:38we're launching ourselves into 2013 and then the whole thing starts all over again.
00:44And just to show you how the year progresses, what it is that punctuates the year, I'm going to ask
00:50a series of questions to Rachel Riley. Mrs Gilbert. Mrs Gilbert.
00:56What will happen in eight weeks' time? We'll be flipping pancakes because it is? Right, Pancake Day. Shrove Tuesday, we
01:07call it. 13 weeks today, it'll be the last official day of? Spring. Winter. Winter.
01:15That'll be the first official day of spring. 18 weeks today, it'll be St George's. Day. You haven't been studying
01:21this, have you? This is like a quiz for idiots, isn't it? What? St George's.
01:2431 weeks today. It's very important. Somebody's gone to a lot of trouble to write this. Oh, I'm bored already,
01:29Nick. Can you just tell me?
01:31Kids will be celebrating the start of the long school summer holidays. I'm skipping a few round here. And exactly
01:3954 weeks today, we'll be saying goodbye to another year. And that's it.
01:45Just creeps on and on and on. We know what's going to happen. It's not bad. I know. So what
01:49are your New Year's resolutions then for two weeks' time? I don't do New Year's resolutions.
01:53God, you're difficult today, Rachel. Well, you think if you're going to change something, you might as well do it
01:57anyway. Why bother waiting for a specific day? What are your hopes for 2013?
02:00I'm going to watch my friends get very fat. Because we've got two countdown ladies producing four babies next year.
02:07You have? We have. We have.
02:09And there's an imbalance somehow. Yeah. One in one, three in the other.
02:14We imagine. Yeah, so we're looking forward to that around 8. We certainly will be. We certainly will be.
02:18But now it's time to look forward to something else, because we're into our fourth quarterfinals. And who have we
02:24got with us?
02:25We've got Rose Boyle, our number five seed. Rose, an octochamp from October, with a total point score so far
02:33of 701.
02:34She's an accountant from Dublin, from Bolliard Clear, I think we pronounce it.
02:39But grew up on Aramore Island, out on the west, way off in the Atlantic.
02:43It is, yes.
02:45And you are joined by Liam, a good Irish name. But actually, Liam is from Skipton in North Yorkshire, where
02:52I think you work in a supermarket.
02:54That's correct, yeah.
02:54Brilliant. And you're our number four seed, with 708 points. And you became an octochamp in September, winning your first
03:02game on a crucial conundrum, and his eighth game by just one point.
03:06So well done, Liam. Cliffhanger, but you're here, and you're both very welcome. Big round of applause for Rose and
03:13Liam.
03:18And, of course, life would not be complete without Susie in the corner, and Alistair joined us yesterday, cracked us
03:27up with his stories and his impressions.
03:30So welcome again, and we look forward to more of those, if you would.
03:33Yes, I'll think about it. It's nice to be on with somebody from Skipton, actually. I had a girlfriend from
03:36Skipton when I was a student.
03:38And? Well, her chat-up line, the first time I met her, I don't know if this is a typical
03:43Skipton chat-up line, but she came up to me in a pub in Leeds and she said,
03:46Hey, can I borrow your face? I want to go ratting.
03:52I've always remembered that.
03:54Brilliant stuff. Have you ever used that line, Liam?
03:56No, but I might try that.
03:59I entertain, I teach.
04:01Brilliant. Well done. Excellent stuff. But now, it's time to get on with the business. Rose, off you go. Take

11:562-7-3.
11:572-7-3, well done.
11:59Liam?
12:002-8-3.
12:01Rose, now's your chance.
12:03OK.
12:0425 plus 9.
12:0525 plus 9, 34.
12:07Multiply by 8.
12:092-7-2.
12:10And add the 1.
12:11Nicely done, 2-7-3.
12:13Well done.
12:16Well done, you sprung up there.
12:1824, but Liam's still on.
12:2138, as we give all our attention to Alistair.
12:24Alistair.
12:24Well, Nick, thank you, first of all, for getting my name right.
12:27Because I don't know if you've found this since you've been in show business.
12:30But when you're in show business, when you meet people in the street,
12:33it's very rare that they actually get your name right
12:35or the names of any programmes you've ever been in,
12:37even though they'll tell you that they're your greatest fan.
12:39And I'm constantly called Angus.
12:41People constantly go,
12:42Oh, Angus! Oh, it's that Angus! Oh, Angus Dayton!
12:44Oh, it's that Angus Dayton! Oh, it's that Angus Dayton!
12:45Oh, Angus!
12:46And, you know, maybe I do look a little bit like Angus Dayton
12:49and obviously can do an impression of the former host of
12:52Have I Got News For You?
12:53But I am not him.
12:54And this reaches its apogee, if I can use that one.
12:57This reaches its apogee a while ago when I was in a...
12:59I arrived at a hotel for quite a posh function
13:01and this fellow came towards me and he said,
13:03I'll come to take you home, sir.
13:05I said, I'll just arrive.
13:05He said, yeah, I'll come to take you home.
13:07I said, are you sure?
13:07He said, yeah, yeah, I've got your name on a sign written down here.
13:10I said, let's have a look.
13:10He held up the sign.
13:11It said, Agnes Dane.
13:14And not only have you confused me with Angus Deaton,
13:16he then confused Angus Deaton with a six-foot-one blonde supermodel, right?
13:20But it's true not only of my name,
13:21but the names of programmers that I've done years ago.
13:23I made my name, I suppose, or not, on Spitting Image.
13:27And sometimes people come up and say,
13:28I love you on that programme,
13:29that Muppets thing you used to do,
13:30or the Muppets, fabulous on the Muppets you was.
13:33And the height of this one, actually,
13:34is Who Do You Think You Are,
13:35which I did a few years ago.
13:36It's a wonderful programme, I'm sure you've seen it.
13:38And it's been going for so many years now,
13:40ten years, ten series of Who Do You Think You Are.
13:42It's repeated constantly on the satellite channels.
13:46And the number of people will come up to me and say,
13:48oh, yeah, I saw you on that Where Do You Think You Come From programme.
13:50Yeah.
13:51I saw you on that Where Do You Think You Come From.
13:52I love that programme, it's brilliant.
13:54But I did do Who Do You Think You Are.
13:56And out of interest, I thought I would be Scottish.
13:59I thought I'd go back to Scotland with a name like Alistair McGowan.
14:01But it turned out my ancestors were from Southern Ireland and from India.
14:05And so I said to the producers,
14:07what does that make me?
14:08And I said, well, a Caucasian.
14:10Perhaps.
14:13Perfect. Thank you very much.
14:15Well done.
14:19Very good. Very good, Alistair. Thank you.
14:21Now it's time for a Tea Time Teaser,
14:23and the teaser is Oak's Crew.
14:25And the clue, it sounds like the task of a luggage maker,
14:29but it isn't.
14:30It sounds like the task of a luggage maker,
14:33but it isn't.
14:33And the answer is casework.
14:57Casework.
14:59Now then, Liam, 38 to Roses 24.
15:02So, Liam, I call on you for a letters game.
15:05Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?

16:19No, nothing too complicated. I think there might be an eight. Yes. Of unhandle. Unhandle me, sir. Yes. Oh, unhand
16:28or unhandled, but not unhandled. It's there in drama. It's in, yes. Unhandle me. Unhandle me now. Is it in
16:34Shakespeare? I have a word. I don't know if it's in Shakespeare, but definitely on the show. Seems unreasonable to
16:38exclude that. It does, doesn't it? If it's in Shakespeare, I actually think so. But you see, the example they
16:42give here is unhand me, sir. Yeah. Rather than unhandle. From which play?
16:48It doesn't say. They're supposed to handle me. Unhandle me now, sir. I never say that. You might say that.
16:55In that case, no. Nothing bigger than a six. All right. Never mind. 44 to 30. Now then, Rose.

18:30Yeah. Is there something else for juice means something else? By juice. Wasn't it an exclamation?
18:35Yeah. Juice like giraffe. Very good. Thank you very much. 50 plays 36 as we go into a letters game.

19:55absolutely fine. Rifted is also fine. It's a term from geology and it means to form
20:02fissures or breaks. Alistair. Well, I was messing around with fives for ages. Fried,
20:07fixer, fixed, fired. There's a word you never hear on television. You can put a re on the

21:25Bye.
21:25I have signed.
21:26Bye.
21:27Bye.
21:32Rose a risk a seven risk a seven Thank You Liam I just stick with a five your five spoil
21:39spoil now
21:41then Rose lippies lippies Susie lippies well I was hesitating over this one Nick because lippy
21:48is in the dictionary but it says it's a mass noun but we do sometimes relax our mass noun rule
21:54if
21:54you can have more than one type of something and you can certainly have more than one type
21:57of lipstick so I'm going to allow it well done very good so scores 56 to 49 but now Susie
22:05it's
22:06your origins of words well I had a letter from a viewer called Jane Whitlock I think a white look
22:12and from Carnarvon she says she hates the way everyone exaggerates all the time so everyone
22:18talks about being obsessed for example with the latest fad and she said yeah why do we do this
22:23and she's right because we big up if you like language all the time I know Rach hates people
22:30including me putting super at the beginning of something super fast or super urgent and I hate
22:35uber for the same reason and we do bandy obsessed about me bandy tragic and hero all of those have
22:42become devalued and it's a trend that you can actually chart all the way through and the history
22:47of the English language we have these sort of peaks where we big up and then language begins to reacquire
22:51if you like it sort of original meaning and it sort of peaks and drops it's very interesting but
22:55the reason I mention it as I look back to the history of obsession because Jane mentioned being
23:00obsessed and you might be surprised by its very earliest meanings as if you're obsessed in the 15th
23:05and 16th century it meant that your castle was besieged it comes from the Latin ob plus sedere and
23:12that means to sit in front of or block and in the Middle Ages they saw evil spirits as being
23:18the prime
23:18weapons of obsession or the prime besiegers if you like and so for a long time until probably
23:24quite recently obsession was a very negative thing in love particularly you were seeing as being held
23:28prisoner so you were besieged by love and it still is quite negative unless you're talking about the
23:34latest fad but bigging up is still everywhere and if you look at today's menus you'll see flavoured
23:39foams and emulsions and infusions and vegetables are seared and lacquered and chocolates are enrobed and
23:45unfortunately it is around us but hopefully we'll start going back down again soon hmm very good
23:54great stuff 56 to 49 now then Liam it's numbers game there's Rachel can I have two large and four
24:03small please Rachel thank you Liam two large ones and four little ones coming up for you and for this
24:09round the four small ones are four ten six and three and the large two one hundred and twenty-five

33:23OK.
33:23Very good.
33:24Listen, you're taking this lump of priceless kryptonite with you,
33:29plus a goodie bag and our very best wishes.

33:32Thank you so much.
33:33Great game.
33:33Thanks a lot.
33:34Great game.
33:34Pipped at the post.
33:35Pipped at the post by young Rose Boyle.
33:38Now, tell me this, Rose.
33:39How did the community on Aaron Moore react to your last performance?
33:44Oh, they're probably still celebrating.
33:47Are they?
33:47Oh, they're all delighted.
33:48They're all tuning in every day,
33:50and everyone was stopping me everywhere I went.
33:52Well, you're going to get a rousing cheer next time you pop up on Aaron Moore.
33:56Well done.
33:57We shall see you tomorrow.
33:58We look forward to it.
33:59Well done.
34:00Thanks.
34:00Nerve-wracking?
34:01Very.
34:02But worth it, wasn't it?
34:03Yeah.
34:03Well done.
34:03Well done.
34:04So tomorrow we shall see you, and also Alistair.
34:09Mm.
34:09What should we talk about tomorrow?
34:12Tomorrow.
34:12What you can talk about today, for instance.
34:14Well, I was talking yesterday about the Olympics.
34:16Yeah.
34:16And, you know, I think it was very interesting watching the Olympics,
34:19how early on, when we won a lot of our medals in the rowing
34:22and the equestrian events particularly,
34:24there was stuff in the press, I don't know if you remember this,
34:26about the medalists being from elitist sports.
34:29Oh.
34:29And that they were privately educated in these medals,
34:31and somehow, you know, for elitist sports.
34:32And I thought, it's interesting to think this whole question of elitism,
34:34because you never hear that talked about the other way.
34:37You never hear about inverted elitism.
34:39For instance, I've never heard Mark Lawrenson on Match of the Day 2 say,
34:42I'll tell you what, Colin,
34:43there's some fantastic players in the Premier League right now.
34:46Fantastic players from all over the world,
34:48especially British players as well.
34:49You know, they're all there.
34:50But, but, they're all working class.
34:53Where are all the middle class players in the Premier League in football?
34:55There aren't.
34:56And if they even show an ounce of promise as young lads,
34:59they're not encouraged to take up the game, the middle class players.
35:01And I think, personally, Colin, that is an absolute disgrace.
35:04And don't even get me started on the darts.
35:09Very well done.
35:10Lovely stuff.
35:12Very good indeed.
35:15Some truth in that, too.
35:17Allo.
35:18Tomorrow.
35:19See you tomorrow.
35:20See you tomorrow.
35:20And we see you tomorrow, same time, same place.
35:22You be sure of it.
35:32Join together for life,
35:34the emotional brothers that have defied the odds thus far
35:37between some share a body tomorrow night at 10.
35:41Next on four, Sandy Toksvig,
35:43and the thousand and one things you really should know.
