00:31Good afternoon. Welcome to Countdown Studio.
00:34Yesterday we talked about Allergy Awareness Week, but that's not all.
00:37Wake up, because this week is also National Stop Snoring Week.
00:42A few weeks ago we had Pam Ayers on the programme.
00:45Do you remember Rachel? She recited one of her long poems about her husband,
00:48who was apparently a big snorer.
00:50Time to find out what causes snoring.
00:53And apparently, I've got a little note here.
00:56A beastie, that's not very good.
00:58But head and facial shape, sleep position, alcohol, lack of exercise,
01:04plus many more factors that can all cause snoring.
01:07So I'm telling that.
01:08I'm very happy to report that I am not a snorer.
01:12OK, me neither.
01:13And I'm stopping it right there.
01:15Right.
01:15All right?
01:16But snoring does cause me sleepless nights sometimes.
01:20But there we are.
01:21Have you, um, have you been woken by a snorer?
01:25Many times.
01:26Have you?
01:26It's always men, isn't it?
01:28None of my female friends snore.
01:30But the men are so loud.
01:32Hmm?
01:32I find a sharp kick always works.
01:35Indeed.
01:36Well, I'm glad to say that I'm not a snorer,
01:38but I can also share with you the fact that I do have a...
01:43I'm leaving it.
01:45I'll get killed if I actually ever will.
01:47Now then, who have we got here?
01:49We've got Gavin Woolno here,
01:51IT manager and tornado chaser from Horsham in West Sussex.
01:54Two good wins.
01:55Welcome back.
01:56You're joined by Gareth Fisher,
01:58a carer from Wallasee on Merseyside.
02:00Big language chap here.
02:02Speaks French and Spanish,
02:03but he's also learning German, Portuguese, Italian and Russian.
02:07Yeah, that's right.
02:08Boy, my word, you're really going for it, aren't you?
02:10This is a sort of a European, uh, blast.
02:14Yeah.
02:14Russian.
02:15Yeah.
02:15Is that difficult?
02:17It's the most difficult one I've done.
02:19Um, I did it first year of uni.
02:21Yeah.
02:21Along with French and Spanish.
02:23Rachel, you're having a crack at Russian, aren't you?
02:25Well, I had an app and I learned to read Cyrillic,
02:28and it says learn to read Cyrillic in three hours, and you can.
02:31So I can make the sounds.
02:33I don't know what any of it means.
02:34It took me longer than three hours.
02:36Yeah?
02:36All right.
02:37All right.
02:38But that's a fistful of language, is my word.
02:40And apparently you once tripped and rode 30 yards down the hill
02:42at the Leeds Musical Festival
02:44to the laughter and cheers of 150 witnesses.
02:47Were you aware at the time, or had you been on the, uh, on the beer?
02:51Oh, yeah, I was fully aware,
02:52and I've been constantly reminded since.
02:55Just take it in.
02:56Let's give Gareth Fisher a big cheer,
02:58along with Gavin Woolnow today.
03:00Big round of applause there.
03:01Come on.
03:03Well done, Gareth.
03:05And over in the corner, of course, uh, Susie Dent.
03:08And for the last time, until we entice him back,
03:12Dr. Phil.
03:13Dr. Phil.
03:14And what's that in your pocket again?
03:16It's my clanger.
03:17Your clanger.
03:17Bring your clanger back.
03:19Tell us about your snoring experience
03:20that you're slightly reluctant to tell us more about.
03:22No.
03:23You can trust me.
03:24No.
03:24It won't go further than this room.
03:28And 400 million people that want to count down every day.
03:31The old-style thing for snoring is they used to sew a tennis ball in the back of your nightshirt,
03:36or your pyjamas, and every time you roll on your back, you go, ooh, like that, and you go back
03:40on your side.
03:40So it's lying on your back.
03:42That's one of the big boys.
03:43Well, people tend to snore more because the larynx flops back then.
03:45So get them on the side, in the recovery position.
03:47Yeah, the old tennis ball in the back of the nightie.
03:49All right.
03:52Tell me how it goes next time, if you're still married.
03:55All right.
03:57Thank you, Phil.
03:58Thank you, Dr. Phil.
03:59Now then, Gavin, take us away.

14:02Yeah, it was possible, so apologies if there was an easier way,
14:05but you could have said 100 times by 50 is 5,000.
14:1210 minus 7 is 3 times by 75 is 225.
14:19Add them together for 5,225 and divide by 25.
14:23I'm so glad.
14:25Well done, Rachel.
14:29Extravagant, but perfect. Lovely.
14:3135 plays, 28. What shall we do? Let's go to Dr. Phil.
14:36Now then, Dr. Phil.
14:37I'm going to do a quick memory test. I've been talking about my clangers...
14:40Yes.
14:41...for all the time I've been on there. Can you tell me what clangers stands for, Nick?
14:44I can, actually.
14:45Go on, then.
14:45Connect, learn, be active.
14:47I think notice, give back, eat well, relax and sleep.
14:50Well done.
14:51Connect, learn, be active, notice, give back, eat well, relax.
14:53I read that down here.
14:54Well, it's beautifully done.
14:55So I've been talking about that.
14:56That's the way to stay well out of the NHS.
14:58It's the way to get good care when you're in the NHS.
15:00Sadly, however, we all must die.
15:02And I want to talk about death,
15:04because I think you can drop clangers around death as well.
15:06I think the one missing bit of the NHS
15:08is that we should think and talk and plan our deaths well in advance.
15:12Sometimes it comes on us quickly.
15:14I remember a friend of mine who resuscitated someone
15:16who'd been dead for a couple of minutes,
15:17and he came round again.
15:18He said, what was death like?
15:19And the bloke went, well, he just went,
15:20ooh, what's all that then?
15:22All went black.
15:22So that's a lovely story.
15:23And in my book, I've talked to people who are dying.
15:25I've also got a personal story.
15:27My rather wonderful stepfather, Stan,
15:29who doesn't mind me talking about this,
15:30he had heart surgery 13 years ago
15:32and did brilliantly walking up and down hills all over Europe.
15:35He's 84 now.
15:36He came back from a holiday bright yellow.
15:38Usually when you're 84 and you turn yellow,
15:40that's not a good thing.
15:41And sadly, he had a scan that showed a mass
15:43at the head of the pancreas,
15:45which is almost certainly cancer
15:46when you see a large mass like that.
15:48And he thought, at 84, I've had heart surgery.
15:49I don't want another huge operation.
15:52And he decided also not to have chemotherapy.
15:54He looked at all the facts and figures
15:55and it had spread to the lymph glands
15:57and chemotherapy wasn't going to be that effective.
15:59But he's having a wonderful life.
16:00He's eating and drinking what he likes.
16:01He's actually put on weight with pancreatic cancer,
16:04which is almost unheard of.
16:05Now, who knows when the end will come?
16:07But he's thought about it.
16:08He's planned his wishes in advance.
16:09He's made an advance directive,
16:11got it stuck up on the fridge.
16:12So one of the problems is if you collapse at home
16:14and you haven't got your advance directive
16:16stuck there where the paramedics can see it,
16:17they've forced you off to hospital.
16:19You end up in hospital having a sort of a high-tech death
16:21when you'd rather have a gentle death at home.
16:23So it is possible to have a really good death at home,
16:25but you do need to plan it.
16:27And there's a great website called Dying Matters
16:29and you can talk about your wishes,
16:31you can talk about organ donation,
16:32but the important thing is to tell everyone about it.
16:35And we don't, because we're British,
16:36we don't talk about sex,
16:37we don't talk about mental illness,
16:38we don't talk about death.
16:39Actually, if you do these things,
16:41you connect with the people around you,
16:42you learn how to have a death at home,
16:44you're active in planning your own death,
16:45you notice stuff.
16:46And it is a sense of giving back when you're dying.
16:49The best conversations you can often have
16:51are with people when they're dying,
16:52because they've got nothing to lose.
16:53They say wonderful, wonderful things.
16:55So a lot of the people I interviewed in my book said,
16:56we had the best conversations ever when Granny was dying
16:59and, you know, we all got together as a family
17:01and said what really mattered to us.
17:02So my take-home message is plan your death.
17:05You only die once, make it a good one.
17:07Very good. Well done.
17:13So, 35 to 28, Gavin's in the lead at the moment.
17:16Gavin, shall we have you back for a letters game?

24:39And another.
24:40I.
24:42And a consonant.
24:44N.
24:46Another consonant.
24:48R.
24:49And a final vowel, please.
24:52And a final A.
24:54And here's the countdown clock.
25:27And a final vowel, please.
25:35And going back to moans.
25:38Back with the moans.
25:40Yes.
25:40Anything else there?
25:41Dr. Phil?
25:42I think there's an air man.
25:44Is that a?
25:44Yeah, air man is a word, isn't it?
25:45It is.
25:47There's a shaman as well.
25:48A shaman person regarded as heavy.
25:51Yes.
25:52Access to the world of good and evil spirits.
25:54Manoir.
25:55Manoir?
25:56With the S on.
25:57What does that mean?
25:57I'll give you a seven.
25:58Manoirs?
25:59It is a French country house.
26:01Yep.
26:01A manoirs.
26:02And now, seven still separating them.
26:0557 to Gareth's 50 as we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins of words.
26:10Now.
26:11I'm going back to snoring, Nick, because I've been looking at lots of synonyms for snoring
26:15in the Oxford English Dictionary.
26:16And there are subtle differences between all of them.
26:18Gruff is the short and noisy snort, snoring kind.
26:23A pig is another snorty snore.
26:25A rout is the grunting kind.
26:28Snarking, that's the sort of gnashing type of snoring, apparently.
26:32And snotter is the snuffling kind of snoring.
26:35So there you go.
26:36You should play snoring bingo.
26:38You should have a cup and you go, oh, that's a snotter, that's a snort, that's a snuff.
26:42And it would turn your snoring experience into pleasure.
26:45It would turn your snoring experience into a game.
26:46Wonderful.
26:47It's sorted.
26:48That's why I love the OED.
26:49Anyway, I just, I love the way that you can cover those words.
26:52I've never heard of any of those.
26:53Have you, Phil?
26:54I've often had a snorter.
26:56Cheeky snorter.
26:57Cheeky snorter.
26:58I like snark.
26:59Anyway, back to other body parts.
27:02English is full of words that have body parts actually hidden behind them.
27:06So manual, manuscript, manure, manage, all go back to the Latin for hand.
27:13Cabbage goes back to head, as does capital.
27:16Digital goes back to fingers.
27:18Genuine goes back to the Roman tradition of a father placing a newborn child on his knee
27:24to show, to acknowledge paternity and to show that he is the genuine father.
27:28So it goes back all the way to the Latin for knee.
27:31Very good.
27:32That's delightful, isn't it?
27:34Lovely.
27:35Thank you, Suzy.
27:37So 57 to Gareth's 50.
27:39Close run thing here.
27:40Now it's Gareth's letters game.
27:43Penultimate one.

27:49N.
27:50And another.
27:52G.
27:54And the vowel.
27:55E.
27:57And another.
27:58O.
28:00And another.
28:02E.
28:03And the consonant.
28:05B.
28:06And another consonant.
28:08N.

31:33thank you
31:35and
31:35and
31:42Gareth?
31:43I think I'm out of 975.
31:46Not written down.
31:48How about Gavin?
31:49975.
31:51Right.
31:52Gareth?
31:53I could have gone wrong here, but 75 plus 50.
31:5675 plus 50, 125.
31:596 plus 1 is 7.
32:01Yep.
32:01Times them together.
32:02For 875.
32:04Then plus 100.
32:05Yep, 975.
32:065 away.
32:07Well done.
32:08Yes, Gavin?
32:1050 divided by 25 is 2.
32:12Yep.
32:13Add the 1 and the 6.
32:15For 9.
32:16Times by 100.
32:18900.
32:18And add the 75.
32:20You haven't used that.
32:20Well done.
32:21Again, 975.
32:22Even Stephen there.
32:24But 970 is really what was required.
32:27Problematical?
32:28It was there.
32:29If you say 75 divided by 25 is 3.
32:34100 minus 3 is 97.
32:37And then 6 minus 1 is 5.
32:39And 50 over 5 is 10.
32:42And times them together.
32:43Perfect.
32:44Blistering pace.
32:45Well done, Rachel.
32:48Absolutely spot on there.
32:4978 to 57, therefore, as we go into the final round.
