00:30Good afternoon and welcome. Welcome to the Countdown Studio. Monday the 22nd of April and guess what? It's the beginning
00:36of UK Coffee Week and I thought, not another week for something or other. This one actually has got a
00:42very good purpose. I'll tell you what it is. It's a celebration of coffee, allowing the coffee and foodstuff industries
00:48to come together. Why? They want to raise awareness and indeed money for Project Waterfall, a charity that delivers clean
00:57water initiatives in Africa's coffee industry.
01:00Growing countries and I think that's great. That's an absolute purpose for one of these rather fictitious weeks. This one
01:07got me thinking about coffee. No. Coffee. I mean, yes, cappuccino. We all remember that. And then we had latte.
01:14I've got a list of them here. You tell me. Espresso. Fine. I understand that. Coffee with syrup in vanilla,
01:20hazelnut, gingerbread and caramel flavours.
01:22Oh, creme brulee is my favourite. As a coffee? As a syrup, yeah. I blame the Americans. It's all about
01:29choice. I think we've got too much choice. Anyway, what's your favourite coffee?
01:33Creme brulee latte or Kona coffee is amazing. Yes. And I went to Broadway Market recently, which has got so
01:38many good food options. You'd hate it. Just everything to choose from.
01:41But Vietnamese coffee, have you tried that? I always try and buy coffee from sort of little poor countries, so
01:48Ethiopian coffee.
01:49Well, it's coffee with condensed milk. Yeah, I know that stuff. Very sweet. Very sweet. Very sweet. Very unhealthy. Very
01:56tasty.
01:56Yeah, very Moorish. Very Moorish. Let's see what's Moorish over here, whether Jill Hayward's going to have some more, because
02:02on Friday you had quite a lot.
02:04You beat John Gardner, 85 to 54, and drove him back to Cheddar in Somerset. What a lovely man, but
02:11good for you.
02:13You're from Christchurch in Dorset, not so far, I guess, from Somerset, and you're joined by J.J. Burrows.
02:18And J.J.'s from Guilford, and J.J.'s are an assistant manager in the photographic retailers, but not just some
02:24sort of big chain, but a proper place where people bring wonderful old cameras in and have them repaired, and
02:31you sell old cameras too?
02:33Yeah, we mainly sell sort of newer digital stuff, and we sell used equipment as well, sort of vintage, collectible.
02:42It depends what it is, really, but generally now a lot of the film stuff tends to be, has to
02:47be in very good condition for us today to take it in.
02:49I guess so.
02:50Due to obviously the demise of film is sort of not as good as it used to be.
02:53I love those sort of shocks. Love them. Let's have a big round of applause for Jill and J.J.
02:58Burrows.
03:04Good weekend, Susie.
03:05Lovely weekend.
03:06Excellent. And what about the dreaded Zenon? What were you up to?
03:09Oh, nothing you know me, just a quiet one, beat up.
03:12As usual.
03:13Absolutely.
03:14We'll get back to you shortly, because now it's time to kick off Monday's Countdown.

06:44You can, thank you, Jill.
06:45One from the top row, two, one, and two.
06:49So five little ones.

07:35Five, two, one.
07:37Yes, JJ?
07:37Five, two, one, but not written down.
07:39So we'll better hear from you first.
07:41Okay, so four plus one is five.
07:44Four plus one, five.
07:45Times by the hundred is 500.
07:47Yep.
07:48Three by the seven is 21, and add that up.

07:59Yes, if you say 100 plus seven, 107.
08:04Four plus one, five.
08:06Times those two together for 535, and take away the nine and the three.
08:11Well done.
08:12Well done, Rachel.
08:13As ever.
08:16Spot on.
08:17But now it's time for a tea time teaser, which is kiwi leaf.
08:20And the clue, seemingly in need of a damned good meal.
08:24Seemingly in need of a damned good meal.
08:42Welcome back.
08:43Welcome back.
08:44I left with the clue, seemingly in need of a damned good meal.
08:47And the answer is waif-like.

10:11Battier.
10:11I like batty.
10:13Yeah.
10:13And what else have we got over in the corner there?
10:16There's a nice one for eight, quite an unusual one, which is battery, but with an IE at the end
10:20rather than a Y.
10:21And what is that, exactly?
10:23Yes, I shall tell you.
10:23It's a term from ballet.
10:24It's the action of beating the feet or calves together during a leap.
10:28You know, when they jump and go in.
10:29Oh, they jump up, crisscrossing things.
10:30All that ridiculous business, yeah.
10:32And then they land, all raised up rather heavily, I always feel.
10:3521 to 20.
10:37Look, JJ, only one point in it.
10:39And Jill, it's your letters game.

13:29Yep, well done.
13:30Very good indeed.
13:31Well done.
13:3237 plays 36.
13:33As we come to a particularly interesting part of the day, when we look across the studio
13:38and we see Paul Zen on there.
13:40What's up, Paul?
13:42Well, I thought I'd do an odd subject today.
13:43Not a magic trick or anything, but when you do magic for a living, people always say things
13:48like, you know, do you only use your powers for good?
13:51And the answer's not entirely.
13:52What I've started doing is messing about at airports and wasting their time, because let's
13:56face it, they started it, you know, because everything these days seems to be for security
14:01reasons, you know.
14:02All this started a couple of years ago when I was flying out to New York, and there was
14:05this really rude woman who was checking in, and she just got, you know, increasingly rude,
14:09and so I got a bit sarcastic being British, and she did all the same lines they normally
14:14do, did you pack your bag yourself?
14:16And I went, yes, all by myself.
14:19I'm not a great line, as you obviously agree, but she got a pen, and she tapped this sign
14:23behind her, I'd never seen this sign before at an airport, and it actually said in big
14:27letters, no jokes.
14:29She said, yeah.
14:30Really?
14:31I was fine.
14:33But, you know, you're not allowed to take your sense of humour on holiday, apparently,
14:36anymore, you know.
14:37So she got rude, and I said, why are you being so rude?
14:39And she went, it's for security reasons, sir.
14:41I said, what, you're being rude for security reasons?
14:43And she went, yes, sir.
14:45I thought, I wonder how many potential terrorists that's put off.
14:48Come on, we're not doing our mission from here, they're a bit rude, you know.
14:51So I've started messing about, and one of the things I do, I've borrowed one of these
14:55little trays, you know, when you go through the x-ray machine, and you put your keys
14:58and your coins in, and so what I do now, I take this back, and I've snuck it in, and
15:02I've written my name, I sort of engraved it with a soldering iron on the side, right.
15:06So what I do is I sneak it in, and then I walk off with it, and they go, oh,
15:08you put
15:09that back, and you go, no, it's mine.
15:10They go, don't be silly.
15:11I go, well, it's got my name on it.
15:13You know, and I've got odd things I put in it.
15:15I went to the pound shop, and I found these fake mobile phones for kids to play tunes,
15:21you know, like small children and mobile ringtones are not independently irritating enough.
15:26And what I did, I melted one of these down, so you've got this kind of limp, sort of,
15:31uh, sort of Dali-esque thonia.
15:33So what I do now is I sneak that in, and when it comes out the far end of the
15:36machine, you
15:37go, what the heck's happened to that?
15:40How was it fun?
15:41Because, you know, you've got to put your liquids in a clear plastic bag, right, so they
15:45can x-ray it, and you think, how rubbish is your x-ray machine?
15:48They've got to be in a totally transparent bag.
15:50Might as well just have a bloke with a pair of x-ray specs from a joke shop, you know.
15:54But my favourite thing to do is with a metal detector, because there's always something
15:58you've forgotten that sets it off, you know.
16:00So I wear something underneath my shirt now that deliberately sets it off to, you know,
16:05save a bit of time.
16:06Save a bit of time.
16:07It almost cost me two years last time.
16:09But imagine, right, I'm going to stand up.
16:11Imagine I'm walking through the x-ray machine, and, you know, if you set it off, they have
16:15that hand-held security wand thing they bring out.
16:18See, imagine that the melted phone is one of those.
16:21So you set it off, bing, stand aside, assume the position.
16:35And they go, what have you got under there?
16:37And I go, it's one of them.
16:42And then we stand there and look at each other, usually for quite a long time, like a bad
16:48remake of a Star Wars scene.
16:50And eventually they always go, why have you got that?
16:52And I go, for security reasons.
16:56Very good.
17:00I bet you're wildly popular.
17:03You've got to be careful, Paul, you know, because apparently, and it happened to somebody
17:06I, you know, the friend of somebody I knew, who was a bit argumentative, and all they
17:11do, Paul, is they lean across, and they pick up the phone, and they say, security, and then
17:17you're in trouble, because there's no humour in it.
17:19Eight hours later, a rubber glove is involved.
17:21Yeah, it's a nasty business.
17:2337 plays 36, JJ in the lead, and Jill, it's your letters game.

24:05Coleman.
24:06Oh, yes.
24:07Oh, sorry. It should be Coleman, JJ, not Coleman.
24:12Need the two A's for that. Sorry.
24:14And what else have we got over in the corner there?
24:17We've got a long list of nothing at all apart from that.
24:20Coleman was the only one, yeah.
24:22All right. Good enough.
24:24So, Jill, 59 to JJ's 44. Well done.
24:28And it's your letters game now, Jill.
24:30Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
24:31Thank you, Jill.
24:33B.
24:34And a consonant.
24:36N.
24:37And a consonant.
24:40P.
24:41And a consonant.
24:44D.
24:45And a vowel.
24:47O.
24:48A vowel.
24:50I.
24:51A vowel.
24:53O.
24:55A vowel.
24:57E.
24:59And a consonant, please.
25:01And the last one.
25:02K.
25:03And it's tick-tock time.
25:05Music.
25:06C.
25:07locker.
25:08All right.
25:09Let's do it.
25:09And let's go.
25:28All right.
25:34And it's a tremendous strategy.
25:35And a vowel.
25:36Now then, Jill?
25:37Six.
25:38A six.
25:38JJ?
25:39A six.
25:40Jill?
25:41Booked.
25:42Booked.
25:43JJ?
25:43Bonked.
25:45Bonked.
25:48Any advances on bonked?
25:50You could have bookend for seven.
25:52That's the other one.
25:53Yeah.
25:53So, but yes.
25:54Very good.
25:55Anything else, Susie?
25:56No.
25:56Bookend can be a noun or a verb.
25:58Looking great to me, I thought.
26:0065250 says Jill's strongly in the lead now.
26:03As we go into that interesting part of the day, when Susie is going to give us a gentle
26:08lecture on the origins of words.
26:11Well, I wonder if you've ever wondered whether the story that is a book and a multi-story
26:16car park are related.
26:18So, story with those two different spellings.
26:21I don't know if you've ever wondered it, Nick, but they are, in fact.
26:24And I'll tell you why.
26:26Story, of course, means a fictitious account of events.
26:29It comes from a Latin noun, historia.
26:32And that, of course, is where we get history from as well, except that it's a strictly
26:37true, supposedly, version of events.
26:40So, both of those go back to that Latin root.
26:42But back in the 14th century, story was also used in architecture because stained glass windows,
26:49stone carvings or sculptures, et cetera, would be on the outsides of buildings.
26:53And they would be representations of events in history or, indeed, of imaginary events.
26:58And they would often be on top of each other.
27:01Obviously, the longer the story, the more sculptures, et cetera, you would need.
27:04And possibly the taller the building.
27:06And from that idea, we got a multi-story event.
27:10So, a multi-story representation of a particular history.
27:15And then when William Caxton came along and standardised a lot of English spelling through
27:19his printing press, they somehow needed to distinguish between the two meanings.
27:23And so, the story that were the sculptures represented on buildings gained an E.
27:27But they do actually all go back to that same route.
27:30And while I was musing this, I was also thinking about a car park and wondering why, in fact,
27:35we do talk about parks.
27:36It seems a rather strange noun to attach to something as ugly as a multi-story.
27:40And that goes back to the Norman Conquerors.
27:43They were the people who gave this park.
27:45It was a large area of land where animals were kept.
27:48But to park somebody originally referred to soldiers.
27:52It would mean an encampment of soldiers.
27:54They would be parked, literally, ready for battle.
27:56So, the idea was of putting something ready to retrieve it later.
28:00When the need came.
28:02And that's why today we park our cars, ready to pick them up again.
28:04Brilliant.
28:05Well done.
28:06Excellent.
28:08And there is another, interestingly, spelling for the word park to do with cars.
28:14And the actual, the UK car park.
28:17Yeah.
28:18P-A-R-C, alright, is the number of vehicles on the road in Britain.
28:22With a C.
28:23Ah, I didn't know that.
28:24Yeah.
28:25I know these odd things.
28:27That's French too, then.
28:27Yeah, interesting, isn't it?
28:28But a lovely story about the, you know, the stories on top of each other.
28:32Yes, getting higher and higher.
28:33Lovely.
28:33Thank you very much for that, Susie.
28:3565 to 50 says Jill's in the lead.
28:38And JJ, not long to go now.
28:41So, you'd better start motoring.

30:02Very good.
30:03And anything else there, Paul?
30:05Quite an unusual one with Tsarina, as in sort of Russian...
30:10Oh, the wife.
30:11Yeah, the wife of the Tsar.
30:12Yeah.
30:12The Tsarina, yeah.
30:14Last one got murdered.
30:1772 to 57.

31:33What did you make of that, Jill?
31:34Just five.
31:35A five.
31:36JJ?
31:36Five.
31:37All right.
31:38Jill?
31:38Grout.
31:40A grout.
31:41Same word.
31:42Two grouts?
31:42Yeah.
31:43Very good.
31:45Grouts.
31:46What advances on grout?
31:48Don't come over here.
31:50There's very little there.
31:52Grouts all we got as well.
31:53All right.
31:53Very good indeed.
31:54Pretty difficult stuff, that, actually.
31:56But 77 to 62 as we go into the final numbers game, JJ.
32:02And that'll be for you.
32:03Two large and four small, please.
32:05Thank you, JJ.
32:06Still time to win this one.
32:07Two large and four little ones.
32:10And for the last time today, they are nine.
32:13Nine.
32:14Five.
32:15Four and the two large.
32:1775 and 100.
32:19And the target, 648.
32:22648.
32:52All right.
32:53JJ?
32:54Six, four, eight.
32:55Well done.
32:55But hardly written down.
32:56All right.
32:57And, Jill?
32:59And the six, four, three.
33:01Now then, JJ.
33:03So, 75 minus four is 71.
33:0675 minus four, 71.
33:09That's 71 times nine is 639.
33:13It is.
33:13And then plus the other nine.
33:14And plus the other nine.
33:16Well done.
33:16Yeah, haven't you, sir?
33:17Very good.
33:19Well done.
33:23Well done.
33:24In reach, JJ.
33:2672 to 77 as we go into the final round.
33:29That'll be the conundrum round.
33:31So, it's crucial conundrum time.
33:34Fingers on buzzers, please.
33:35Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:47Jill?
33:48Liquidate.

33:50Let's see whether you're right.
33:52Oh, well done, Jill.
33:54Well done.
33:57Well done.
33:58Look at that.
33:59It was a close thing at the end, wasn't it?
34:00It was.
34:01JJ was there, or thereabouts, 72 to 87.
34:04But, JJ, back to Guilford.
34:06Guilford, you'll take with you, back to Guilford, a goodie bag and our best wishes.
34:10Cheers.
34:11Jill, good stuff.
34:13A late surge, and you carried it away, 87 to 72.
34:18So, see you tomorrow.
34:19See you tomorrow, Nick.
34:19And the great Zenon, you'll be with us tomorrow.
34:22Will indeed.
34:22Excellent stuff.
34:23Rachel, see you tomorrow.
34:24See you tomorrow.
34:25What's he got up his sleeve?
34:27I wonder.
34:28We'll see.
34:29It'll be an unhappy time, I know.
34:32We look forward to seeing you tomorrow, same time, same place.
34:35We'll be here, so will the Zenon.
34:37Join us there, and you'll be sure of it.
34:39Good afternoon.
