00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio. A particular welcome to all those students who are perhaps ducking lectures
00:38or heading for the bar. You shouldn't be doing it, but we're very grateful to see you. And I must
00:42tell you that I think students these days have a really rough old time with these dreadful tuition fees. I
00:49really am appalled by it. I find them very divisive.
00:52I think that if we're not very, very, very careful, the wealthy will be educated and those who are not
00:58prepared to take out those horrendous loans will remain uneducated. So, take out the loans, get the education. It's absolutely
01:07critical. Don't worry about paying them back. The money will follow later on. Don't you agree?
01:12I totally agree, yeah. I think it should be based on merit rather than how much you can afford.
01:17Absolutely right. But you had a good time at university. You came away with a good degree.
01:22Yeah, I did. I had a brilliant time. You said earlier in the week that nine and 68 are supposed
01:25to be the happiest years, but my university years were my best. I love them, yeah.
01:29Very good. Brilliant.
01:31There we are. Who have we got? Peter Lees back again from Dublin. A senior Met Officer from Grangemore in
01:38Donner Mead. You were a semi-finalist when I was sitting in this chair and you were an octo champ.
01:46And then you came back and you played, I think, in a special show and came away with 132 points.
01:52That's right, yeah.
01:53Yes, Nick, yeah.
01:54Which I think, I don't know. Rachel, can you help me on this? Was that the highest score last year?
01:59I think so, yeah.
02:00130. I think it was. Brilliant stuff. You've got a very cool man. And apparently, the female viewers have taken
02:07you to their bosom. Did you know that?
02:09No.
02:11That's more good news than I'm bringing to you. Not only are you the highest score, but you're a sex
02:15symbol.
02:15Now then, you've got Tom Rowell here, a prison worker from Husband's Bosworth in Leicestershire, who was an octo champ
02:22and a quarter-finalist in 2010. Is that right?
02:25Yep.
02:26Now, have you seen Peter play?
02:27I have a couple of times.
02:28What do you reckon?
02:30132's a lot of points.
02:32Not bad. Not bad, is it?
02:33Yeah.
02:34Very good. Anyway, you're going to prove a worthy opponent, I'm sure. So let's give both Peter and Tom Rowell
02:40a hugely warm and raucous round of applause.
02:51APPLAUSE
02:52And in the corner, Susie, it's Friday. Are we weary?
02:56We are quite weary, though Martin is itching, itching to say something beside me all the way through the loan
03:00discussion.
03:01This is a rubber ball, this Martin Lewis. He's full of energy.
03:05I have to tell you, one of my other hats is I am actually head of the Independent Task Force
03:10on Student Finance Information.
03:12Right.
03:12I don't believe there's nobody in the UK, if you're a first-time undergraduate, who has to pay to go
03:17to university.
03:19The tuition fees are paid for you, whatever they are set at.
03:22Now, I actually think we shouldn't call it a loan because it isn't really a loan.
03:26And the fact we call it a loan is damaging. I call it a graduate contribution.
03:29It's far more like a system of tax than a loan.
03:32I mean, think about it, you don't pay up front.
03:33You only repay if you earn over £21,000.
03:37And then 9% of that, so it's proportionate to what you earn.
03:40Yeah.
03:41You only repay for 30 years and then it's wiped.
03:43It's paid through the tax system.
03:45So it's effectively a form of income tax over and above what you would otherwise pay.
03:49I agree. It's an educational issue.
03:51Yeah.
03:51It's an educational issue.
03:53All right.
03:53Shall we get things underway?
03:55Peter, would you do the honours?
03:57Hi, Rachel.
03:58Can I have a consonant, please?
04:00Start today with C.
04:03A consonant.

05:20Well, we're off.
05:21Now then.
05:22Seriously.
05:24OK.
05:25We're going to have to work hard today.
05:26Luxate, I was thinking luxuriate, but no, luxate means something very different.
05:30It's a term for medicine meaning to dislocate, which is excellent.
05:35And sulcate is also their botanical term, meaning marked with parallel grooves.
05:40So excellent both.
05:41Well done, Tom.
05:46Tom was looking very confident there.
05:48Very good indeed.
05:48Now, Tom, let us go.
05:50Hi, Rachel.

08:43Gifted.
08:43Yes.
08:44Straight forward.
08:44Now then, what else have we got over there?
08:46This week with these champions, our best result is one in each round that we've got, that the
08:52two competitors combined haven't got.
08:54Yeah.
08:54So our aim today is to try and get two, but we will be very happy with one.
08:58So we haven't beaten them yet, but I just need to give a bit of benchmarking for the
09:02viewers so they understand this is not a normal dictionary corner week.
09:06I understand that.
09:06We're playing with the big boys.
09:08These are the champs.
09:10Excellent stuff.
09:11But I have faith in you, Martin.

10:35Now then, strike Martins.
10:38Robotics for eight, yes.
10:39I'm very pleased I got one.
10:40There we are.
10:41What?
10:42Whoa!
10:45And we're only a third of the way through,
10:47so I think we should put down another challenge
10:49that you're going to do it all over again.
10:51Yes, I'm sorry.
10:52No, I'm spent.
10:52That's the sort of thing that we impose on our guests here.
10:55So, 26 to 19 says Peter still will lead
10:58as we go into a numbers game.
11:00One from the top, Rachel.
11:01The rest from anywhere else.
11:02Thank you, Peter.
11:04One large and five little ones for you.
11:06And for the first time today,
11:08the numbers are five, one, eight, three, seven.
11:15And the large one, 75.
11:17And the target, 554.
11:20Five, five, four.
11:52Well done.
11:54Yes.
11:54Yep, 5, 5, 4.
11:55OK, lead it away, Peter.
11:5875, take away 7.
12:0075, take away 7, 68.
12:0268, multiplied by the 8.
12:03Multiplied by 8, 544.
12:053 minus 1 is 2.
12:073, yep.
12:07And then 2 by 5 is 10.
12:09Well done.
12:10And I don't know.
12:115, 5, 4.
12:12Very good.
12:12Tom?
12:13I did 75 times 7.
12:1575 times 7, 525.
12:17And 8 times 3.
12:198 times 3, 24.
12:21Add that one.
12:225, 4, 9.
12:24Add the 5.
12:24And you haven't used the 5.
12:265, 5, 4 again.
12:27Well done.
12:28Well done, both of you.
12:32Peter's still in the lead, 36 to 29.
12:34As we turn our attention to Martin.
12:37Now, Martin.
12:38I've got another question for you.
12:39And it was a mass question for Rachel yesterday.
12:43So today, it's your...
12:44Susie, it's your turn, Nick.
12:45Yeah.
12:46The annual amount you can put in an ISA,
12:49your tax-free savings account, a cash ISA,
12:51it's £5,640 a year.
12:54Yeah.
12:55If I put £4,640 in,
12:59and then in a month's time take £2,000 out,
13:03how much more can I put in before the end of the tax year?
13:06I have no idea.
13:08Now, cut...
13:08I know this one.
13:09OK, so you're saying £3,640...
13:11No.
13:12So £5,640...
13:13I put £4,640 in...
13:16It's a trick.
13:16...and I took £2,000...
13:17Shh!
13:18And I took £2,000 out.
13:20Yeah.
13:21So, therefore, I currently have £2,640 in...
13:25Ah, OK.
13:26...and the limit's £5,640.
13:27OK, so you put £3,000 in?
13:29Wrong.
13:29Rachel?
13:30£1,000.
13:31£1,000.
13:31Quite correct.
13:32And this is really important for everybody to understand with ISAs.
13:36You are allowed to put in £5,640.
13:41Whether you then withdraw it is irrelevant.
13:44So I put in £4,640.
13:46I've got £1,000 left.
13:48Yeah.
13:48The fact I took £2,000 out is irrelevant.
13:50I can still only put another £1,000 in.
13:53Now, the reason this is important is many people believe, with a cash ISA, tax-free savings account,
13:58first place to put your money if you're savings because you get more because the interest isn't taxed.
14:03Many people believe you have to lock it away to get the tax benefit.
14:07You don't, as long as it's in the ISA and it stays tax-free year after year.
14:10You get the tax benefit.
14:12The only rule is, if you take the money out, you can't then put it back in again.
14:16And that's the important thing to understand.
14:18So there are millions of people out there who've got their money in savings accounts thinking,
14:21I don't want to put it into an ISA because I don't want to lock it away.
14:24You don't have to.
14:25There are easy-access cash ISAs out there.
14:27If you've got savings, put it in an easy-access cash ISA.
14:30If you then need to take it out, fine.
14:32You just can't put it back in again.
14:33But in the meantime, you'll be earning interest tax-free.
14:36Well then, Martin.
14:37All right.
14:3836 to 29.
14:39And now it's time for a tea-time teaser.
14:41And the teaser is a moral duo.
14:43And the clue, Malcolm is adept at the lady.
14:45But I think this stinks.
14:47Malcolm was in debt to the lady.
14:49But I think this stinks.
15:05warm welcome back.
15:06I left you with the clue.
15:07Malcolm was in debt to the lady.
15:10But I think this stinks.
15:10And the answer is malodeur.
15:14Malodeur.
15:15Yes.
15:16Malodeur.
15:16A very unpleasant smell.
15:18A bad smell.
15:19Yep.
15:20Very good.
15:2136 to 29.
15:23Peter in the lead.
15:24Tom, your letters game.
15:26I'll start with a vowel this time.
15:27Thank you, Tom.
15:29E.
15:30And another one.
15:31A.
15:33A consonant.
15:35D.
15:37Another.
15:38T.
15:40And another.
15:42C.
15:43A vowel.
15:46I.
15:47Consonant.
15:49W.
15:51Another consonant.
15:54R.
15:55And a vowel, please.
15:57And lastly, you.
16:00And here's the big hand.
16:29We'll see you next time.
16:32Tom?
16:33Seven.
16:34Seven.
16:34Peter?
16:35I'll throw you some.
16:36Tom?
16:37Curated.
16:38Curated.
16:39Peter?
16:40Crude.
16:41Crude.
16:41Crude.
16:42C-R-U-D-I-T-E-A.
16:43Crude.
16:44Crude.
16:44Crude.
16:44Crude.
16:44Crude.
16:45I think you might have to have more than one crudité so that it will be there in the plural.
16:52I'm afraid it is a plural noun.
16:54Yeah.
16:54You can't have a single crudité.
16:56Bad luck.
16:56Bad luck.
16:5736 all.
16:58And in the corner.
17:00Certainly can't beat it.
17:01The standard is incredibly high.
17:02But traduce was also in there, was it?
17:05Traduce, yes.
17:06It's to speak badly of someone so as to damage their reputation.
17:10I was traduced?
17:11Yes.
17:12Constantly?
17:13Not by me.
17:14No, I don't know.
17:1536 all says that Peter has a letter's gain.
17:20Off you go, Peter.

17:52And, er, a veld, please.
17:55And finish.
17:57E.
17:58Countdown.
18:30Peter?
18:31Eight.
18:32Tom?
18:33Seven.
18:34And your seven, Tom?
18:35Motley-er.
18:36Motley-er.
18:37Now then, Peter.
18:38Molester.
18:39A molester.
18:40Very good.
18:41Very good indeed.
18:43Very good.
18:46What else have we got there?
18:47I have to say, this inability of us to beat these guys is just getting rather tar-some.
18:52Tar-some.
18:53Eight.
18:54Well done.
18:55Anything else?
18:56No.
18:57That was our single eight.
18:57That sounds good.
18:58Well done.
18:5944 plays 36.
19:01Another letters game, Tom.
19:04Can I have a vowel, please?
19:05Thank you, Tom.
19:07A.
19:07And another.

19:23Consonant.
19:26S.
19:27Another consonant.
19:30P.
19:32And a vowel, please.
19:33And finally, A.
19:36And here's the clock.
19:38And here's the clock.
20:08Yes, Tom.
20:10A seven.
20:10A seven.
20:11Peter?
20:11I'd stick with the seven.
20:13Okay, Tom.
20:14Maltose.
20:15Maltose.
20:16Same word.
20:17Two Maltose.
20:20Maltose twice.
20:21Martin?
20:22It was a seven fest, but nothing beyond that.
20:25Tamales is a nice one.
20:26Still's just seven, but it's T-A-M-A-L-E-S-M-X conditions of seasoned meat and maize
20:31flour.
20:32Peter, the way you said that, I've got a suspicion you think you had a longer one.
20:35Yeah, I thought palmates might be in.
20:37Oh, that's well left, because palmates is a botanical adjective, so not there is a noun.
20:41Right decision there, Peter.
20:43In the lead, 51 to 43, and it's your letters game.
20:47Consonant, please, Rachel.
20:48Thank you, Peter.
20:49Y.
20:51Consonant.
21:15And to finish, Z.
21:19Stand by.
21:35Peter.
21:50Peter.
21:51Six.
21:52Six.
21:53And Tom?
21:54Six.
21:55Peter?
21:55Solemn.
21:56Solemn, yep.
21:57Smiley.
21:58Smiley.
21:59Yes, he's planning an EY.
22:01Yeah.
22:01Yeah, that's absolutely fine.
22:03We have smileys on our phones, for example.
22:05What else have we got?
22:06No, nothing beyond a six in there.
22:07All right, well done, well done.
22:0957 plays 49, but now it's time for Susie.
22:13Often puzzled by how many words in English can mean two or more completely different things,
22:19and it's always fascinating to find out how along the way they changed.
22:24And I'll give you some examples.
22:26Beam, for example.
22:28How can a beam both be a heavy piece of timber and also a very broad smile?
22:32And it does all come down to evolution.
22:35Usually a word is chosen because it's taken from another language, and the meaning given
22:39to it is the one that was inherited from that foreign tongue.
22:43But as time goes on, you can see, you can actually follow, as an etymologist, the series of events
22:48almost that changed it.
22:50So to go back to beam, in Old English, the word was a living tree and a length of cut
22:55wood, such as a post or a rafter.
22:57But the change came when bead used it to translate from Latin the idea of the biblical pillar,
23:03or the beam of fire.
23:05And so it took on the meaning of a ray of light.
23:08And so it was just a stepping stone, if you think then, to the notion of a radiantly
23:12beaming smile.
23:13And later still, beam became a verb for sending out rays of radio transmissions.
23:19So it was all to do with rays of light.
23:21Another woody example, if you like, is the word clog, which can mean both a blockage and
23:26a wooden shoe.
23:27And a clog, which was C-L-O-G-G-E, was originally a simple hunk of wood.
23:32But then it was used to specifically name the practice of attaching a wooden weight to
23:37an animal's leg in order to stop it running away.
23:40And so by association, clog came to mean any kind of hindrance or obstruction.
23:44And of course, the wooden shoe took its name from the original lump of timber from which
23:49it was carved.
23:50And of course, when you think of clogs, you think of sabotage, which you know, Nick, but
23:54that's another story.
23:55I'll do that one another day.
23:56Sabo, yeah.
23:56Yeah.
23:57Absolutely.
23:58Very good.
24:01Very good indeed.
24:03Now then, Tom, slightly adrift, but still in touch.
24:06And it's a numbers game, Tom.
24:07So, Rachel, awaits your pleasure.
24:09I'll have one large, please.
24:12Playing it safe so far.
24:14Yeah.
24:14Thank you, Tom.
24:15Well, we will see how safe.
24:16One large and five small coming up.
24:18And for this round, they are six, two, four, nine.
24:24Another nine and 100.
24:27And the target, 360.
24:30360.
24:31360.
24:32360.
24:33360.
24:35360.
25:00All right.
25:02Yeah, 360, but not written down.
25:04All right.
25:05And Peter?
25:06Yeah, 360.
25:07OK, Tom?
25:07Six plus two.
25:09Six plus two is eight.
25:14Take the eight from the nine.
25:16Nine minus eight is one.
25:18Add it to the other nine.
25:20Nine add one is ten.
25:22Take that from the 100.
25:24Oh, yeah.
25:25100 minus 10, 90.
25:27And then times it by four.
25:29Well done, 360.
25:30Very good.
25:32And Peter?
25:33Yeah, I did 100 take away nine.
25:35100, take away nine, 91.
25:38Yeah, multiply by the four.
25:39Eight.
25:39Eight.
25:40It does.
25:41And then the six minus two.
25:43Take it away.
25:43Here's another.
25:44Yeah, four to take away.
25:45Well done.
25:46Very good.
25:48Very good.

28:01We did have Paradigm, and I'm slightly scarred by it,
28:04as I remember in my first week at university,
28:06we were asked to read out loud,
28:08and to much laughter of my read out Paradigm.
28:11So it's not a Paradigm, it's a Paradigm.

31:17In the corner, what have we got there? Now, your last flourish there, Martin.
31:20And I didn't, but our Susie here had another 8.
31:23Yes?
31:24Heartens, which is a nice word to leave on, which means to make more cheerful.
31:28Yes.
31:29Very good indeed.
31:30Now then, Tom, 82 to Peter, 74.
31:33And it's your numbers game.
31:35I'll have six more, please.
31:37Six more?
31:38Now you're gambling.
31:39Now you've got the lead.
31:40Thank you, Tom.
31:41Six little ones for the last time this week.
31:43And for my last Elmo impression of the week, they are 9, 6, 10, 7, 4, and 8.
31:52And Elmo says 634.

32:44And Peter?
32:45Same way.
32:46Same way?
32:47Very good indeed.
32:47Well done.
32:51Very good.
32:5392 plays 84 as we go into the conundrum zone.
32:57So, fingers on buzzers.
32:59Let's reveal today's crucial countdown conundrum.
33:31We'll see you next time.
33:34Now then, stumped, let's have a look and see what you've missed, whether you'll kick yourselves or not.
33:41Topious. Topious. Well done.
33:45A cracking contest. 92 says that Tom beats Peter on 84.
33:51Oh, look, you led pretty much all the way, I think.
33:54And then suddenly, in came Tom Rowell and stole it from you.
33:59Well done, Tom. Brilliant contest. Very good indeed.
34:02So, Peter, back to Dublin. Keep an eye on the weather for us.
34:06I will indeed, Nick. All right. We'll see you soon again, I hope.
34:09But we'll be seeing Tom Rowell sooner. Well done, Tom. Well done indeed.
34:14Friday, you have a very peaceful weekend.
34:16I will, Nick. Thank you.
34:18So, you beat them once. Margin?
34:21We did well. And I should say, having been here this week with these mega brains,
34:24it's an absolute privilege to sit here and watch them.
34:28So, thank you and to the others I've been here with this week. And thanks for having me.
34:31Yeah, no, our pleasure. And listen, thank you for coming because not only is always pleasure
34:35and you're a great sport, but also you impart great wisdom and taught me a lot, as always.
34:41Mind you, I've got a lot to learn.
34:43Come again very, very soon. Very, very soon.
34:46You go home. That hot toddy that we discussed yesterday did no good.
34:51So, my advice to you, young lady, is tonight you're going to have two.
34:55And we'll see you on Monday.
34:57Dr. Nick's orders.
34:59Yes, absolutely. And enjoy them. A little bit of pepper and then, honey.
35:02Lovely.
35:03Have a lovely weekend. Peaceful weekend.
35:05And at home, have a peaceful weekend.
35:09So peaceful that you'll be energised when you join us at the same time on Monday, same place.
35:14We'll be counting on it. You'll be sure of it.
