00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on yet another manic Monday.
00:36We've had a horrible time.
00:38Our dictionary corner guest, to whom you'll be introduced very shortly, got stuck in a train at Watford.
00:43And it took me forever to get into the studio.
00:46And so my mind turned to the whole issue of traffic and traffic jams.
00:50And I picked up the phone and I rang our research department.
00:54Because, of course, they sleep under their desk in the corridor just outside.
00:57They're here from, you know, get up early in the morning at 6 o'clock.
01:00So I called them.
01:01I said, now, give me some stats on traffic jams.
01:05Ever willing, they rang me back with the following information.
01:10How many miles was the longest traffic jam on record?
01:14Rachel, what do you think?
01:1630.
01:17Poor Rachel's come in with a rotten, sore throat.
01:19So we're not going to tax you too much today.
01:21Let me answer that for you.
01:23The longest traffic jam on record was 109 miles long.
01:28It stretched from Lyon to Paris.
01:31One more question.
01:32You don't have to answer it.
01:33I'll do it for you.
01:33I'll attribute the answer to you.
01:36What was the longest traffic jam in terms of time?
01:39And our research department has turned up the following fact.
01:43It was actually 12 days long.
01:44Wow.
01:45It was in Beijing in 2010 and was down to extra trucks on the road carrying roadwork supplies.
01:52And the locals went up and down the traffic jam selling water and noodles.
01:57Why wouldn't they?
01:58Thank you very much.
01:59Now, so who have we got with us today?
02:01We've got Darrell Francis, a retired IT manager from Brampton in Cumbria,
02:05whose claim to fame, and some claim it is too, he won the sixth series of Countdown way back in
02:111985.
02:12How different was the show way back then, Darrell?
02:15Well, the people were all different.
02:17Yes.
02:17And it was a lot shorter and it was on a different time of day.
02:20And the studio wasn't as nice as this one.
02:22I wasn't born when Darrell was first on.
02:25That's true.
02:26Now then, Darrell, who are you up against today?
02:28None other than David Webb from Harpenden in Hertfordshire,
02:33who was a semi-finalist back in 1991.
02:36And you're a Scrabble Grandmaster.
02:39And you've represented England at the World Scrabble Championships.
02:42Is that right?
02:42Yes, it is.
02:43So really, what we've got here are two real strong, great contenders.
02:47Welcome to you both.
02:48And a big round of applause for these two fantastic competitors.
02:56Very good.
02:57Refreshed after your weekend, Susie, I trust.
02:59I'm very refreshed, thank you.
03:01Very good.
03:01And our guest, of course, is none other than Martin Lewis,
03:05who's not very refreshed, because you got stuck in a train.
03:08I did.
03:08It's what you get with buying cheap train tickets, obviously.
03:13Those who don't know Martin,
03:15he is the voice for the consumer in this country
03:19and has done a great, great job.
03:21And I think your current energies
03:23is dealing with financial education in the schools,
03:27which I think is a great thing to be doing.
03:29For 21 years, we've educated our youth into debt,
03:33or what we call debt when they go to university,
03:35but never about debt.
03:36And for me, it's absolutely obligatory
03:38that we put financial education on the basic curriculum,
03:42the national curriculum,
03:43so that when people leave school,
03:44they are equipped with the tools
03:46to handle this competitive consumer economy.
03:48Good for you.
03:49You can see the passion of the man, can't you?
03:51Now then, let's get down to business.
03:53Daryl, would you be good enough to take us away?
03:58A consonant, please, Rachel.
03:59Thank you, Daryl.
04:00Start with M.
04:02And a second one.
04:05N.
04:05Third one.
04:08And a fourth one.
04:11R.
04:12And a vowel.
04:14A.
04:15Another vowel.
04:17E.
04:18And another vowel.
04:21I.
04:22And a fourth vowel.
04:25A.
04:26And a final consonant, please.
04:28And a final H.
04:30And here's the countdown clock.
05:03Yes, Daryl.
05:04I've got seven.
05:05Seven, David?
05:06Six.
05:07And your six?
05:08Hamper.
05:09Hamper.
05:09Daryl.
05:10I've got heparin.
05:12Now, this is exciting.
05:14Heparin.
05:14I stand aside on this one.
05:16I don't know if it's got anything to do with the liver.
05:20It is, yes, a compound occurring in the liver
05:23and other tissues which inhibits blood coagulation.
05:26Excellent.
05:27Well done.
05:27Well done.
05:28Well done, Daryl.
05:31A stonker, I think that is.
05:33And in the corner, Martin.
05:35Well, you know I normally like to do financial words
05:37or try and spot them.
05:38There is a financial seven there,
05:40one I come across all too often when dealing with many banks.
05:43It's the word piranha.
05:46Piranha.
05:47Portuguese for toothfish.
05:49Anything else, though, Susie?
05:50Nothing else.
05:50All right, well done.
05:51So, 7-0.
05:53And David, we turn to you for a letter's game.
05:55A consonant, please, Rachel.
05:56Thank you, David.
05:58C.
05:59A vowel.
05:59O.
06:02Consonant.
06:05Z.
06:07Vowel.
06:08I.
06:10Consonant.
06:12L.
06:13Vowel.
06:16E.
06:17Consonant.
06:20S.
06:22Vowel.
06:24I.
06:26And a consonant, please.
06:27And a final G.
06:29Clock time.
06:31Clock time.
07:01Yes, David.
07:03Eight.
07:04Daryl.
07:05Nine.
07:06Aha.
07:06David.
07:08Logicides with an S.
07:10Logicides.
07:12Come on, Daryl.
07:13Logicides.
07:14Spell I-Z-E-S.
07:17Oh, we've got logicism, which is a term from philosophy, the theory that all maths can ultimately
07:22be deduced, etc.
07:25But I can't see logicide as a verb, which is such bad luck, because it would have been brilliant.
07:32But I can't see it there, I'm afraid.
07:34So we're still at 7-0.
07:37What else have we got there?
07:39I think this is a case of the tortoise beating the hares, because I've got logics for six,
07:44and that does actually beat your eight and nine, because it's a real word.
07:47And the answer, Susie?
07:48No, I'm really sorry about that, because it was a brilliant effort.
07:50All right, let's get on with the third game.
07:52Daryl, kindly take us away.
07:56A consonant, please, Rachel.
07:57Thank you, Daryl.

09:03Six, David.
09:05Seven.
09:06Daryl.
09:07Fluent.
09:08Fluent, David.
09:09Annulette.
09:10Annulette is absolutely brilliant.
09:11It's a term from architecture, a small fillet or band encircling a column.
09:15Very well done.
09:16Very good indeed.
09:20Very good.
09:21What else have we got there?
09:22Something that I am very rarely was in there, also a seven, tuneful.
09:26Tuneful.
09:27Very good indeed.
09:28All right.
09:29So, seven all.
09:30Well done.

10:46Yes.
10:47And Daryl?
10:48Overpays.
10:49There we go.
10:50Good.
10:52And in the corner.
10:54No, top standard here.
10:55All right, very good indeed.
10:5615 all, and we turn to our first numbers game.
10:59Daryl, that's for you.
11:01Can I have one large one and five small ones, please, Rachel?
11:05Thank you, Daryl.
11:06One from the top and five little ones.
11:08And for the first numbers game this week, the small ones are three, four, seven, two, ten, and 75.
11:19And the target, 927.
11:22927.
11:221027.
11:241027.
11:261027.
11:271627.
11:421227.
11:54Daryl.
11:55925.
11:56925, two away.
11:58David?
11:59930.
12:00Right, three away there.
12:02Daryl.
12:03Right, I've got 10 plus 2 is 12.
12:0610 plus 2 is 12.
12:07Times 75 plus 3.
12:10Times 75 plus 3 is 936.
12:15And then subtract the 7 and the 4.
12:17And the 7 and the 4 for 11 and you're two away, 925.
12:21Very good indeed.
12:22Now then, Rachel, is it possible 927?
12:25Yes, if you say 75 times 4 is 300.
12:30Add the 2 and the 7 for 309 and times that by 3.
12:35Brilliant, well done.
12:36Good for you, Rachel.
12:38Well done.
12:38Well done.
12:41Martin, talk to us.
12:43Well, you know, Nick, I make you play when I'm here.
12:45It's always one of my money teasers.
12:47So the three of you, this one.
12:49What is the only mainstream financial product that is cheaper if you're a smoker?
12:56What's the only mainstream...
12:58There's a nod there.
12:59Do you know?
12:59Well, hold on.
13:00Let's see if any of these get it first.
13:03Can you tell us?
13:04Your pension.
13:05Your annuity.
13:05It's your annuity.
13:06It's your annuity.
13:06Now, if you think about it, most products, with most products, poor health means you get paid out.
13:11Therefore, they're more expensive if you've got poor health.
13:13With an annuity, it's a payment each year till you die.
13:16So if you're more likely to die sooner, therefore they won't have to pay as much, which is why you
13:21get a better annuity rate if you're a smoker.
13:24Now, it's interesting, because on the products where being a smoker is bad for you personally, what counts?
13:30Smoking any time in the last year.
13:31But to get an enhanced annuity rate with it, some firms say you have to have been smoking consistently for
13:3610 years.
13:36Now, I should say I'm not advocating anybody start smoking before they retire and turn their pension pot into annuity.
13:42But actually, the subject itself is one that really people have to consider.
13:46When you get an annuity, which is where you take the pot of money you saved in your pension and
13:51you convert it into this payment, often it's a one-stop shop.
13:54You do it once and that lasts for the rest of your life.
13:58So you have to get it right.
13:59And there's two main things people need to know.
14:01The first, please never just take your company's offer.
14:06If you do that, they'll give you their standard rate.
14:08There are always invariably better offers out there.
14:10Go and look across the open market or get yourself advice if you don't know what you're doing.
14:14And the other thing, get a health and eye check before you get your annuity rate.
14:19Because any poor health can give you an increased rate.
14:23Annuity is really important.
14:24So many get them wrong.
14:25And then live in poverty in their pension or relative poverty in their pension to a level that's unnecessary.
14:31Very good.
14:32Very good advice.
14:33Very good.
14:37Good advice.
14:38Listen up.
14:39And listen up to this Tea Time teaser too, which is Gaga Mind.
14:43And the clue, your mind will go gaga if you end up doing this to it.
15:04Welcome back.
15:05I left you with a clue.
15:06Your mind will go gaga if you end up doing this to it.
15:10And the answer is damaging.
15:13Damaging.

21:38Yes, David?
21:40Geocarps.
21:42Geocarps?
21:43Not there.
21:45David, you really aren't going to like me by the end of today.
21:48It sounds like it is a word and it might well be in other dictionaries,
21:51but not used frequently enough to be in here, I'm afraid.
21:54Bad luck on that one.
21:55Bad luck, David.
21:56What else have we got there?
21:58It was all rather prosaic for me, Nick.
22:00Yes.
22:01Anything else?
22:02Prosaic for seven.
22:03And also Scrapey is there, which is the sheep disease.
22:08Poor old sheep.
22:09Poor old sheep, definitely.
22:10Poor old sheep, yeah.
22:11Very good.
22:1150 plays 36.
22:13Dow's still in the lead.
22:14As we turn to you, Susie, for a little section on your origins of words.
22:19Well, I'm going to talk about the origin of a very familiar expression,
22:22which is gone for a Burton.
22:25And where that comes from.
22:27This is ringing bells with you, Nick, I can see.
22:29And it's an idiom which, a bit like the full Monty or the whole nine yards,
22:32has foxed etymologists for a very, very long time.
22:35And we think we know the answer to it.
22:37We know it began as RAF slang.
22:40The first records referred to aircraft crashes.
22:44He's gone for a Burton.
22:45So actually very sad news to deliver.
22:47And we also know that Burton in the earliest days was always capitalised,
22:51which gives us one of three choices.
22:54Either the town of Burton-on-Trent in Staffordshire,
22:57which was a popular centre for brewing, still is.
23:00A type of ale named after the town.
23:03Or the firm of Taylors, which was founded by Montague Burton very famously.
23:07And in fact, Burton's existed, I think, until recently.
23:11So we think, as I say, we know the answer.
23:13There was a series of ads in the 1930s, which featured,
23:16it was for Burton's ale, and it featured an empty space in various situations.
23:21So you might get a line-up, for example, of musical players.
23:24There'd be an empty space there, and the strapline was,
23:26he's gone for a Burton.
23:28And the drink link became even stronger,
23:30because we know that, again, within the RAF and wartime slang,
23:34the drink was the sea.
23:36So very often, if pilots had bailed out over the sea,
23:39they'd gone into the drink,
23:40they were said to have gone for a Burton.
23:43So we think it all goes back to Burton's ale.
23:45And incidentally, Montague Burton, that famous tailor,
23:47he did leave a legacy in English.
23:49The full Monty probably refers to a...
23:52or referred in the olden days to a three-piece suit.
23:54So if somebody had gone for the full Monty,
23:56they'd gone for the full get-up in his famous tailoring days.
24:00Very good. Well done. Well done.
24:04I think they had the contract for the de-mob suit.
24:08Ah.
24:09I think, yeah, so when you left the services,
24:12the government gave you a suit, and I think Burton's did it.
24:1550 to 36.
24:16Now then, David, it's a numbers game.
24:19One large number and five small numbers, please, Rachel.
24:22Thank you, David.
24:23One big one, five little ones for you.
24:25And for this round, they are five,
24:28three,
24:30one,
24:31ten,
24:32eight,
24:33and the large one,
24:34one hundred.
24:36And the target,
24:37nine hundred and twenty-seven again.
24:38Nine to seven.
24:39One hundred and twenty-seven again.
25:10David?
25:11Nine to seven.
25:12Well done, Daryl.
25:13Nine to seven.
25:14OK, David, take it away.
25:15Eight plus one is nine.
25:17Eight plus one is nine.
25:19One hundred plus three is a hundred and three.
25:21Yep.
25:21And multiply.
25:22And that's it.
25:23Nine to seven.
25:24Well done.
25:24Very good.
25:25Daryl?
25:26Similar to that.
25:27I said a hundred plus three is a hundred and three.
25:29One hundred plus three again.
25:31Ten minus one is nine.
25:32I'll take it a nine again.
25:33And multiply them together.
25:34It's nine to seven.
25:35Yep.
25:35Perfect.
25:36Very good indeed.
25:37Well done.
25:39Well done.

25:46is
25:47Coos rude.
25:49And the clue, there's nothing rude about this word, it's quite the opposite.

30:55Go for it, Susie.
30:56Come on.
30:56Seven.
30:57Well, it's not very pleasant because they're jellyfish with stinging tentacles and they're
31:02medusas.
31:03Medusas.
31:05Very good.
31:05Very good.
31:07APPLAUSE
31:11Named after the snake-headed legendary mythical fig?
31:14Absolutely right.
31:15Presumably all these trailing things.
31:17Horrible things.
31:17Snake's heads, yeah.
31:19Very good indeed.
31:20Well done, Martin.

32:26I don't have it.
32:27Not there.
32:28Daryl?
32:28I've got 504.
32:30All right.
32:31Let's hear from you.
32:3375 minus 2 is 73.
32:3575 minus 2 is 73.
32:37Times 7 is 509.
32:39It's 511.
32:43My apologies, yes.
32:44It's bad luck.
32:45Bad luck, Daryl.
32:46All right.
32:46So, it's down to Rachel.
32:48What can we do?
32:50If you steal Daryl's method, and then you say 5 minus...
32:54Sorry, 9 minus 5 is 4, times the other two is 8, and take it away, you get 503.
33:00Well done.
33:01Good.
33:02Well done, Rachel.
33:04Even when she's feeling low, she's perfect.
33:07Very good indeed.
33:0876 plays 68.
33:09As we come to the final round, conundrum time.
33:12Gentlemen, fingers on buzzers, please.
33:14Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:22Daryl?
33:23Formulaic.
33:24Formulaic.
33:26Well done, Daryl.
33:32Very good indeed.
33:3386 plays 68.
33:36Very good indeed.
33:37So, David, we're sending you home, but you're going with a wonderful piece of Crips Night,
33:43the trophy, finals trophy, and with our best wishes.
33:47Great game.
33:48Back to Harpenden with our best thing, and safe journey to you.
33:53And Daryl, we'll see you in a few weeks' time.
33:55Well done.
33:56Very good indeed.
33:57Excellent stuff.
33:59Now, Susie, see you tomorrow.
34:00That was good.
34:01That was, yeah, exciting.
34:02I mean, we are in the throes of great brains here.
34:05It's wonderful.
34:06Every day.
34:07Witnessing tremendous performances.
34:09Marjorie, we'll see you tomorrow.
34:10I want to talk about this extraordinary thing that you've done,
34:13because now that you're part of Money's supermarket group,
34:16you've decided to give, I think, something like 10 million or more to charity.
34:21Yeah, I've put that aside for charity.
34:24My site is still editorially independent and completely separate,
34:27but it's now part of the wider group, which helps with facilities.
34:30And as part of the transaction, I've put 10 million aside,
34:34a million pounds to Citizens Advice.
34:35And what I want to spend the rest of the money on is bespoke projects.
34:39Financial education, as we talked earlier, is one of them.
34:41And also, I have a big passion for mental health and debt.
34:43Unfortunately, the two go together.
34:45It's a marriage made in hell.
34:47Yeah.
34:48And it's devastating.
34:49Debts can cause mental health issues.
34:50Mental health can cause a debt issue.
34:52Let's talk more about that in detail, really, tomorrow.
34:56Now, I want you to go home and have a hot toddy.
35:00Yeah.
35:01All right?
35:01Yeah, that's an order I can follow.
35:03Well done.
35:04Let's see how that poor voice is tomorrow.
35:07We have an early night.
35:09You can have what sort of night you like at home,
35:11as long as you're back here on parade.
35:13Same time, same place tomorrow.
35:15You be sure of it.
35:16APPLAUSE
35:26A mum is looking to spend some time with her daughters,
35:29so is on the hunt for a stylish family home in Spain.
35:33We're sure they won't have a problem hanging around with mum on the beach.
35:37Newer Place in the Sun starts next.
35:42APPLAUSE
35:43And to be sure, thank you.
35:46And what's for your work?
35:48Good!
35:49So, for the last moment,
35:49And great to be here.
