00:11Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio and to the second semi-final and the winner here today will
00:19find himself in the final tomorrow and who knows might even be crowned the series winner.
00:25So it's very appropriate, I guess, that 330 years ago to this very day, Dom Perignon, a monk, sold his
00:33first bottle of sparkling wine in the champagne region.
00:36Of course, Dom Perignon is now one of the great champagne brands.
00:39So, Rachel, tomorrow we've got the final.
00:42Do you think it's reasonable that we should crack a bottle of champagne and spray Formula One style champagne all
00:49over the winners?
00:49What do you think?
00:50I'm not sure. Our audience aren't allowed even orange juice with straws anymore because of health and safety reasons.
00:56So I'm not sure how spraying liquid near all this camera equipment will go down.
01:00Oh, it's the old health and safety again, isn't it?
01:02Yeah, health and safety. You've got to be careful.
01:04And the accountant.
01:05Yes.
01:05And the accountant.
01:06Now, when did you ever have a champagne reception in recognition of your achievements?
01:12Yeah, well, I've been sprayed with a lot of champagne.
01:14I think around finals time in Oxford, the whole of Oxford smells like mouldy old champagne because everyone gets covered.
01:19All right. Excellent stuff.
01:21Anyway, let's see who's going to be showered with champagne tomorrow.
01:25Will it be Peter Lee?
01:27Will it be Peter Lee from Dublin, the meteorological supremo from Dublin?
01:32Or will it be Jack Worsley who had such a cracking run earlier in the season?
01:38And what we've got here, just to prove that the seed system works,
01:41we've got our number three seed, Peter, and our number two seed, Jack, competing.
01:46And one of you is going through to the final.
01:49Yeah?
01:50How are you feeling about that?
01:51Fairly comfortable.
01:52I'm not overconfident, especially against Peter.
01:55Never good.
01:56And Peter, I know, is a man of great modesty and great talent, too, which is a good combination.
02:01So, how are you feeling, Peter?
02:02I'm feeling happy enough.
02:03I'm happy enough to have got to the semifinals and to the finals.
02:06Good for you.
02:07I'm happy enough.
02:08All right.
02:09Well, let's give our semifinalists a great round of applause.
02:11Peter and Jack.
02:19Two terrific competitors.
02:21So, Susie, what do you reckon to this?
02:23We're going to have a steaming competition today, I think.
02:26I think so.
02:26I think Rachel and I are planning on not doing very much work today or tomorrow.
02:31I think that's so good.
02:32And fortunately, we've got Dr. Phil with us to keep us all, you know, alive through this,
02:37I guess.
02:38The hearts will be beating today, Dr. Phil.
02:40They are indeed.
02:40I've got a little glass of vodka with me, which is sorting me out.
02:43As a GP, obviously, I am an alcoholic.
02:46It's all that human misery and suffering.
02:48It's good to see you.
02:49And, well, let's see who's going to be, you know, on top form here today.
02:54Peter, you're going to kick off Letters Game.

04:16Excellent. How about that? Dr. Phil. I have never met a gustier jouster than Sir Lancelot. Gustier and jouster are
04:23both in there for seven. Yeah, very good. Excellent stuff. Seven all. Jack, off you go. Hi again, Rachel. Hi,

07:06Jack? Replates.
07:08Replates? Oh, why not?
07:10OK. I have to be so careful. As Jack knows, with these re-words,
07:17replete, replay, but not replate, I'm afraid.
07:20Not replayed?
07:22No, not there. Sorry, Jack.
07:24I'm dashed. And in the corner, anything else now, then? Dr. Phil?
07:27I've got my favourite word. Pleasure. Pleasure is my favourite word,
07:30because I think to save ourselves and save the NHS,
07:33we need to learn how to pleasure ourselves in a safe and sustainable way.
07:37That's the strapline for my show. I'm in Tewksbury on Friday.

10:48Okay.
10:49Jack.
10:50Added 100 plus 5 plus 5.
10:52Yes.
10:52Well done, both of you.
10:53Excellent stuff.
10:5937 to Jack's 24.
11:02So, we brace ourselves to hear from Dr. Phil.
11:06Interesting.
11:06A lot of people say, bring back the cottage hospital.
11:08Do you ever hear that?
11:09We have these great big impersonal buildings.
11:10They bring back the cottage hospital.
11:12I used to work in a little cottage hospital.
11:14It was lovely because the bloke who mowed the lawn also used to give the anaesthetic.
11:18The last time they used the defibrillator was to jumpstart the tractor.
11:21And I remember once a chap collapsed and I ran for the cardiac arrest trolley.
11:25I opened it up and it consisted of a bottle of port and the death certificate book.
11:31So, the thing that was nice about the cottage hospital is that everyone knew your name.
11:35It was very friendly.
11:35You knew the nurses.
11:36You knew the staff.
11:37But the trouble is, surgery particularly has got so complex.
11:39We need to concentrate it in fewer centres.
11:41There's always a bigger political stink when you downgrade or you close a unit.
11:44But actually, something complicated like child heart surgery needs to be done in fewer, larger centres that have the resources
11:50and the expertise.
11:51But you go into these big hospitals and they are very impersonal.
11:53It's very hard to get people to notice you.
11:55So, this is my top tip today for surviving in hospital is keep moving.
11:58Because we need the beds.
12:00Every year in the NHS, about two people have discovered snoring in the mortuary.
12:04Because we've been a bit quick to shift them through.
12:07And you think doctors should be able to diagnose death.
12:09But actually, particularly the larger patient, the more morbidly voluptuous patients, when they're lying still, they have quite a bit
12:15of padding.
12:15It's quite hard to hear heart sounds and breath sounds.
12:18It's quite easy to misdiagnose them.
12:20And this happened to a friend of mine in a ward in Bath.
12:23A very large gentleman was having a nap after lunch.
12:25And he couldn't hear any breath sounds and couldn't feel a pulse.
12:28So, he diagnosed him dead.
12:29Told the nurses to call in the relatives.
12:32He was then fast bleeped back to the ward to find this man sitting up in bed, drinking a cup
12:35of tea and reading the sun.
12:37So, technically, he was still dead.
12:44But by the time the relatives arrived, he was tucking into his lunch.
12:48And he thought, this is going to be cheeky.
12:49How am I going to explain this?
12:50Now, most doctors worth their salt would blame it on the nurses.
12:52They said, it was all the nurses' fault.
12:53They got it wrong.
12:54But this chap, we'll call him Dr. Jomond.
12:57He was Spanish.
12:58He was very good.
12:59He looked at the relatives and he said, well, you see, there are different stages of death.
13:04And I think that's a wonderful explanation.
13:06But actually, we talk about the high-tech stuff.
13:07What actually keeps you healthy more than anything is the community that you live in.
13:10We talked about John Snow previously and having clean water.
13:13Actually, it's having a circle of friends living in a lovely community.
13:16I live in this lovely community in the Chew Valley.
13:18It's just south of Bristol.
13:19And it's wonderful.
13:20It's beautiful.
13:21It's an area of outstanding natural beauty.
13:22I go and I walk my dogs up to the top of our valley.
13:24And then about a year ago, they announced that they were going to put a hazardous waste in asbestos landfill
13:29at the top of our valley.
13:30And that's caused a huge sting.
13:31But what's been really interesting is I've suddenly met these fantastically resourceful people in my village I'd never met before.
13:36So people who are environmental scientists and people who've done civil rights work have all come out.
13:41We've had this fantastic Stop Stoic Quarry campaign.
13:44And it's worked brilliantly.
13:45We've got about 5,000 people on our petition.
13:47And we've got all the MPs have voted against it.
13:50We've got people from the Environment Agency voting against it.
13:52And I was thinking, what could the killer, the knockout blow, be?
13:55And I was doing a gig, a charity gig, near Shurston the other day.
13:58And this chap came up, a very posh man.
14:00And he said, we had a similar problem with the landfill in our quarry.
14:03And he said, there were lots of people.
14:04We had senior civil servants and judges on our side.
14:06But the thing that won it for us is that we got Prince Charles to sign the petition.
14:10Now, I don't know Prince Charles, but I've decided that you three are probably the three most famous people I
14:14know.
14:15So I think if I get you three to sign my Stop Stoic Quarry petition,
14:18do you think the three of you together count as one Prince Charles?
14:22There's one for you to sign.
14:23You have to come over and sign one too, please.
14:25I don't know if you're allowed off your chair.
14:26You may have to sign it later.
14:27If you can pass that down to Nick and sign it on the way, please.
14:32What I've learned, a bit like I tell people to stand up to the NHS,
14:35is for big planning decisions, you can't just let the experts make the decision on your behalf.
14:39You have to challenge it.
14:40So you have to get the best law you can, and you have to get the best independent evidence you
14:43can.
14:44And you actually have to plunk it on the lap of the people in the environment age in the planning
14:47office
14:47and say, look at this.
14:48You know, a leaky limestone quarry is not a very good place to put asbestos and hazardous waste
14:52when it sits over Bristol's largest drinking water reservoir.
14:55And we've finally got people on our side.
14:57But if we hadn't made a stink, nothing would have happened.
14:59So whatever it is, whether it's the health service, whether it's planning,
15:02stand up for your rights, get together as a community,
15:04and you really can change the system.
15:06So go get them.
15:06That's my message today.
15:07Thank you very much.
15:08Good to you.
15:11Thank you very much indeed.
15:15And we will sign the petition.
15:17Thank you very much.
15:17We will.
15:18That's all the difference.
15:18I'm sure it will.
15:19All right.
15:20But now it's time for a tea time teaser, which is ripe fled.
15:24And the clue, took a ripe banana and fled without paying.
15:28Took a ripe banana and fled without paying.
15:43Welcome back.
15:44And I left you with the clue, took a ripe banana and fled without paying.
15:48In other words, it was pilfered.
15:50Pilfered.
15:52Pilfered.
15:52Now then, what's going on here?
15:55Peter, 37 to Jack's, 24 letters game.

17:14Well, we got averaged, but nothing better.
17:16There we go.
17:17All right.

20:14Jack?
20:14No, mileage.
20:15Peter.
20:16Wally.
20:17I don't know you.
20:20Um...
20:21Yes, Peter, it is a Y rather than an IE, sorry.
20:24So, Dr. Phil?
20:25No, that stumped me.
20:26I couldn't get past mileage.
20:28No, and it still looks strange written without that middle E.
20:31It doesn't it, though, yeah?
20:31Yeah, but you can write it that way.
20:33Is that the American way, I think?
20:34It may have started so, but it's not specifically American now.
20:38Mm.
20:38Fifty-three to forty-six, you've closed up a little bit there, and, uh, Peter, let us go.

21:49Peter.
21:50Seven.
21:51Jack.
21:52Seven.
21:52All right.
21:53So, Peter.
21:55Motions.
21:56Motions.
21:57Motions as well.
21:57In both a motion there?
22:00All right.
22:01How about a motion from Dr. Phil?
22:04Tonsils are in there as well.
22:06Alongside motions are moist and stool, which is lovely.
22:09They go well together, don't they?
22:11I'm just playing word association here,
22:13because I can't beat motions.
22:14But I do like moist.
22:15You don't like moist, do you?
22:16It's my least favourite word.
22:17I love moist.
22:18What's wrong with moist?
22:20Moist is just, it just sounds awful.
22:22It's like Gusset.
22:22It sounds awful.
22:25Moist Gusset sounds in words, actually.
22:27No such thing.
22:29I think moist, lovely.
22:31Her lips are moist.
22:32That's fantastic.
22:33Who wants to kiss a girl with dry lips?
22:36Not with moist lips, though.
22:37Definitely not.
22:39Each to his own.
22:40Jack.
22:4153 to Peter's 60.
22:43Now then, Susie.
22:45I'm carrying on with my pub names.
22:47Good.
22:47There is a spread eagle pub in Stourhead, in Wiltshire, Croydon, Camden, Bury St. Edmunds.
22:53There are many more.
22:54And I was quite fascinated by this, because you think about people being spread eagles,
22:57but you may not know where it comes from.
22:59Well, it does come from, quite literally, the representation of an eagle with its body and legs and wings displayed.
23:04And it's the emblem of various states and rulers, including the German Empire.
23:09And in the 18th century, it was actually applied to a person who was bound with his arms and legs
23:13stretched out before he was flogged.
23:15So, not a very nice thing to be.
23:17And in the U.S., thanks to the figure of the eagle, a spread eagle style was a very boastful,
23:22bombastic one.
23:23So, it's been applied to lots of different things.
23:25For most of us, of course, to be spread eagled is to be somehow lying on the ground with arms
23:29and legs outstretched, usually after we fall over.
23:32Which is hopefully not what you will do when you visit the spread eagle pub.
23:35And that was so named to indicate in the olden days that German wines were available there.
23:39So, that's a bit of Dom Perignon as well.
23:42Very, very interesting.
23:43What a hell to do, isn't it?
23:4860 to 53.
23:49Jack, it's a numbers game.
23:52Can I try six more, please?
23:53Six small ones, you can indeed.
23:55Thank you, Jack.
23:56And we will see what we have.
23:58So, these six little ones are 3, 10, 7, 4, 5, and 9, and your target, 611.
24:10611.
24:42Yes, Jack.
24:43611.
24:44Peter?
24:44610.
24:45Right, Jack.
24:4710 times 9 times 7.
24:4910 times 9 times 7 is 630.
24:535 times 3.
24:545 times 3 is 15.
24:55Take it away.
24:56Take it away for, yeah, 615.
24:58And take away the 4.
25:00Well done, 611.
25:01Bravo.
25:08Well done.
25:09So, this is a close-run thing.
25:13Seeds number 2 and 3 at each other's throats here.
25:16But now it's time for a tea-time teaser.
25:18And the teaser is flat lips.
25:21Clue, the old Prime Minister takes a tumble.
25:23Beware of these.
25:24The old Prime Minister takes a tumble.
25:27Beware of these.
25:45The old Prime Minister takes a tumble.
25:48Beware of these.
25:49Beware of pitfalls.
25:52Pitfalls.
25:54So, 60 to 63.
25:56Jack in the lead there.
