00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio and I'm sure you're all absolutely aware that tomorrow the finals of
00:37two fantastic competitions kick off, our very own series finals and of course there's a small matter of the Euros,
00:44the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament kicking off in France tomorrow. Fantastic. England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland all
00:55competing. You must be in heaven or nearly in heaven.
00:59It's dangerous because England notoriously don't do too well in tournaments of recent years but I did go to Wembley
01:07a couple of months ago and saw the England team play and they're looking really, really good.
01:12I'm an amateur compared with you on the footy but even I recognise there's something special about this team now.
01:18Yeah, well a couple of years ago when Hodgson took all these babies out to the World Cup and we
01:22all thought what is this leaving out all the experienced players. Two years later we've got a whole crop of
01:27really good young players.
01:29So who's going to, go on, take a chance. Who do you reckon will do it? Oh come on, this
01:33has got to be our year hasn't it? We say it every year. This is where the bookmakers make all
01:37their money for their Christmas parties. It's where English people bet on England.
01:40Indeed. But come on, we're due one, aren't we? Come on England. Yeah. 50 years since we won our World
01:46Cup, come on. I was there. Well I wasn't there. I watched it in a pub. 66. I remember it
01:51very well. I was a nipper.
01:52Now, we've got a bit of a nipper here actually. Ollie Heath is back, our two-time winner from Warwick,
01:59who's doing a mixed economics and maths degree there. What year are you in again?
02:05Just the first year. First year, well done. Ollie, you're joined by Norm Ahmed, a data analyst from Northolt in
02:11West London. Loves his music, loves his travelling and indeed combines the two by purchasing unusual musical instruments, including, Norm,
02:19they tell me, a Burmese crocodile harp.
02:21That's right. Don't tell me this is made out of crocodile skin. It's not made out of crocodile, it's shaped
02:25like a crocodile. Shaped like a crocodile. And you bought it where?
02:27In Burma. Really? Yes. I had just a few days there and I was very taken with it. Very taken
02:33with it. Anyway, good luck to you. Thank you.
02:35Let's have a big round of applause for our two contestants today.
02:42And over in the corner of Susie, of course, and once again, the wonderful Richard Madeley, journalist, TV presenter and
02:48best-selling author.
02:49Your book's out any minute.
02:51It's called The Night Book. It's about a psychological thriller. It's set in the Lake District in the heat wave
02:57of 1976.
02:58And it's about whether or not we believe that a woman whose husband has drowned is a murderess.
03:04We have to wait until the 30th of June when it's on the shelves.
03:07That's right. End of the month.
03:08Good luck to you. Thank you very much.
03:09Good luck to you. All right. Ollie, down to business.
03:12Thank you. Hi, Rachel. Hi, Ollie.
03:14Can I have a consonant, please?
03:15Thank you. Start today with G.

03:52Runa Talk.
03:54Runa Talk.
03:55Runa Talk.
04:23Olly, just a five.
04:24A five, how about Norm?
04:26I'll try six.
04:27Olly.
04:28Oryma.
04:29And?
04:30Gopura.
04:33Excellent Norm, yeah, very, very good.
04:34Gopura, in southern India, a large tower over the entrance gate to a precinct.
04:39They're the pyramid-shaped ones that you will find.
04:42And actually, you can put an M on it as well, that's an alternative spelling, which would
04:46give you a seven, but a really good word.
04:48Good words.
04:49Very good indeed.
04:51What can we do about this?
04:52Richard, Susie?
04:53I had parma, as in parma ham.
04:55I had marjoram, but actually that's with a J, not a G, so that doesn't work.
04:59There's a seven-letter fish, a gourami.
05:03It comes up once in a while, small, brightly coloured Asian fish that's popular in aquaria,
05:08those who like to keep an aquarium full of fish.
05:10Indeed.
05:10Well done.
05:11Thank you, Susie.
05:12Thank you, Richard.

06:29Two spoilers here.
06:31Anybody else?
06:33We got eloped.
06:34I got eloped.
06:36Replied and soldier and periods.
06:39All seven.
06:40All right.
06:41Good enough.
06:42Nick, there is a very...
06:43I was just looking at...
06:44We had spoiler.
06:45You can have death spoil, somebody who's sort of...
06:48Oh, did you spoil, yeah.
06:48Actually, you can have death spoiler, which would give you a nine.
06:51It's a bit late now.
06:53Sorry.
06:55I think we could accuse you of, Susie, being a spoiler.
06:5913 points to Norm, Ollie on seven, and it's Ollie's numbers game.
07:03Can I have one, Lars, please?
07:04You can indeed.
07:05Only one from the top five, Little.
07:07And for the first time today, your numbers are six, two, ten, eight, nine, and the big one, 75.
07:17And the target, 181.
07:20One, eight, one.
07:21I think...
07:25And I'll see you next time.
07:52Oli?
07:53Um, no, no, no.
07:55Not at all?
07:56No, I don't know.
07:57What about no?
07:581, 8, 4, I think.
08:001, 8, 4?
08:00Well?
08:01Uh, 75 plus 9 plus 8.
08:04Plus 9 plus 8 for 92.
08:08Times 2.
08:09Times 2 for 184.
08:13Yep.
08:14Yeah, that's what you declared, sorry.
08:17Now, Rachel, come on, pair it back to 1, 8, 1 if we can.
08:20Yeah, there were quite a few ways.
08:21Um, you could have said 8 plus 2 is 10.
08:25Times 10 is 100.
08:27And then add the 75 and 6.
08:30That's one way.
08:31There we go.
08:321, 8, 1.
08:33Well done, Rachel.
08:34So, Norm on 20, Oli on 7 has returned to our first tea time teaser, which is fully 10.
08:41And the clue.
08:42She wasn't fully 10 years old, but could read and write perfectly.
08:46She wasn't fully 10 years old, but could read and write perfectly.
09:05Welcome back.
09:06I left you with the clue.
09:07She wasn't fully 10 years old, but could read and write perfectly.
09:11Because, uh, she could do so fluently.
09:15Fluently.
09:1620 points for Norm.

10:36Yes.
10:37Painted petunias.
10:40What else have we got over in the corner?
10:42Painted was the best that I could do for seven as well.
10:44All right.

11:55And a vowel.
11:57Olly, just a four. A four, yes? Four as well. Four from Norm. Olly? Bird. And? Dower. Now then, this
12:09is dying. Ah, now Richard, what have you got there? Got six guys, losers.
12:17Morbid. Morbid. Yeah. And Susie? Well, there is a six but much less well-known and not nearly as nice.
12:25Viroid, an infectious entity affecting plants. That's another six. Well done. But a particular well done to Richard. Thank you.
12:33Now then. So, Norm, numbers time. Take it away. Ah, try three large, please. Thank you, Norm. Three from the
12:39top and three little ones coming up.
12:42And for this round, Olly looks happy. They are four, three, seven, and a large three. One hundred, seventy-five,
12:50and fifty. And your target? Eight hundred and ninety-two. Eight, nine, two.
13:26Yes, Norm? Eight, nine, two. Eight, nine, two, Olly? Eight, nine, two. Norm?
13:31Uh, seventy-five times three. Seventy-five times three, two, two, five. Uh, hundred over fifty.
13:39Is two. Two, two, five, minus two. Two, two, three. Times four. Perfect. Well done. Very well done.
13:48And Olly, two. Yep, safe. Congratulations. Well done.
13:52But Norm's still in the, uh, in the lead. Forty, uh, forty-one to Olly's twenty-eight as we, uh,
13:58turn to Richard.
14:00Now, Richard, I understand that you've got a little ghost story for us today.
14:03Yeah, I try and save these up for this programme. I did one set in Paris.
14:06True, kind of true story, true sort of, uh, sighting, uh, last time I was here.
14:10And this is one that happened a few years ago where we live in Cornwall.
14:13Now, Cornwall is a land of ghosts. It's a land of legend, you know.
14:16Um, and a lot of it you take with a pinch of salt. But just occasionally something bubbles up that
14:20might just have something to it.
14:22And the little lane that we live in that leads down to a little rocky cove, uh, has been known
14:27for, oh, generations as, as headless horseman's gallop.
14:30There's meant to be a headless horseman that gallops up and down the lane, usually at times of trouble.
14:36Obviously it's an absence. But I remember about three years ago, I went for a walk, and there's another lane
14:41that's parallel to the one that's, that's said to be haunted, uh, that goes up into some woods.
14:44Uh, it's very narrow, and it's not very well made up. It's pretty much ruined.
14:48And it was a, it was a spring afternoon, and it was starting to get dark, and I was walking
14:52up the lane, and I could hear the very brisk clip-clop, clip-clop of a horse coming down the
14:57hill towards me.
14:58So I stepped up against the high bank, you know, to let it pass.
15:00As it got closer and closer and closer, and then it, I was sure it was about to appear around
15:04a little bend.
15:05And it didn't.
15:06And the clip-clopping suddenly stopped.
15:08So I walked up to the bend to look, and there was nothing there.
15:10And there was no way that, there was no gateway or exit of any kind.
15:14And it was really odd, and I felt quite spooked.
15:16So I went back to our house, and about an hour later, a friend of ours, who's been born and
15:20bred there, came around for a cup of tea.
15:22And I told her about this.
15:23And she said, which lane was this?
15:25And I said, well, not the one that's meant to be haunted.
15:26I said, it was the one, and she said, no, no, no.
15:28A lot of people make that mistake.
15:30That's the haunted lane.
15:31Oh, really?
15:31That's where the headless horseman is reputed to ride.
15:34And I don't know.
15:35I mean, it's obviously, basically nonsense.
15:37But you do occasionally have these experiences that you can't quite explain.
15:41And I don't know what that sound was, or where that horse got to.
15:44Is it better to be accepting and to say, yeah, it's possible.
15:50So what's the problem?
15:52Or should we try and always rationalise it?
15:54The journalist in me wants to rationalise it.
15:56I mean, there has to be a rational explanation for that.
15:58I have to say, the sound was very, very loud and very clear and very present.
16:01And there was absolutely nothing to justify it.
16:04There was nothing I could see that justified what I heard.
16:06And then, of course, you put the layer on afterwards,
16:08that, oh, well, that's actually the haunted lane.
16:09And you start, your imagination sort of takes fire.
16:11I don't know.
16:12You're probably right.
16:13It's probably just to go with the flow.
16:14Yeah.
16:15Yeah, I think so, unless it gets nasty.
16:17Yeah.
16:18There we are.
16:18Well done.
16:19So 41 plays Ollie's 28.
16:22And we're back with you, Ollie.
16:23Time for you to break into a counter, perhaps.

17:42Oh, I had tames and something I can't read now.
17:46And what's that?
17:47Namaste?
17:48Namaste.
17:48Namaste.
17:49Yes, it is a respectful greeting said when giving a namaskar,
17:53which is the traditional Indian greeting when you put your palms together.
17:58And, yeah.
17:58So, namaste is what you may say.
18:01I think it's a lovely greeting, actually.
18:03Beautiful, yes.

19:29Well done.
19:30Well done.

19:41Well done.

21:32Welcome back.
21:33I left you with a clue.
21:34She took a few balls of jade wool and knitted herself this.
21:37She knitted herself for Jellima.
21:39Didn't she, Susie?
21:40She did.
21:41It's a loose hooded woolen robe or cloak of a kind traditionally worn by Arabs.
21:46It's what Lawrence of Arabia wore, isn't it?
21:48Ah, okay.
21:49Mmm.

24:46yes very happy about that richard and visaged yes visaged yes just visaged as well and yes
24:55that was our best for seven couldn't be seven thank you all right 69 plays 56 susie it's that
25:03time of the day again when we hear from you on your wonderful origins of words well you've got an
25:10amazing memory nick i always think because you can you have you can suddenly come out with lines
25:15of poetry from absolutely nowhere um so certainly for literature i think you have an amazing memory
25:20i was going to talk about memory uh today we have lots and lots of different words um related to
25:26um
25:26to forgetting to uh remembering recollecting and that sort of thing remember itself is from the latin
25:33rate memorari to recall to your memory to your mind souvenir is from the french souvenir to remember
25:40so when we pick up a souvenir we obviously want to remember a particular place uh to forget um the
25:46forget is from a very old uh english word the anglo-saxons used gitan meaning to grasp so to
25:52forget this when something uh falls from your grasp um to record uh once meant to um stop yourself
26:00forgetting because the cord bit is related to um cordial and it's all about the heart so to record is
26:07to
26:07restore to the heart if you like which was seen as the metaphorical seat of uh memory and to comment
26:14uh originally was to um say something that came to your mind so the meant bit in there is um
26:21linked
26:22to mental etc it's all about the mind but the mind is also behind um amnesty and amnesty was something
26:29that uh the greeks uh knew of it was basically the law of oblivion and i don't know if you
26:34remember i
26:35talked about the river lathie and the river lathie was the stream of oblivion in the underworld it was the
26:40river uh from which you uh could drink if you drank from the river lathie you would forget anything
26:46uh hence lethargy uh lethargy originally meant forgetting everything and um just basically being
26:53so calm as we call it nowadays you're lethargic you really don't want to do anything but the idea was
26:57that you had really nothing to do because you would have forgotten absolutely everything that went before
27:02but amnesty is very closely related to amnesia which of course is a loss of memory and examnesia
27:09as people often say is that kind of loss of memory that you get when you you're sitting down to
27:13an
27:13exam and everything goes out of your head i've certainly experienced that before um but if you
27:17look closely at the original greek root amnestia you'll see a meaning not and the main root nemon
27:23which meant mindful so if um if there is an amnesty you are not mindful and when we have an
27:29amnesty
27:29on guns for example we tell people that we we don't mind anymore you can hand it in and no
27:34punishment will be meted out to you and that nemon finally it's a long sort of twisted past but that's
27:39linked to a mnemonic um because it's about m-n-e-m-o-n and the mnemonic of course is
27:45a study aid so it's
27:46the use of a technique to remember something so memory flows all the way through so many english words
27:51uh whether we realize it or not but i think record is my favorite one that's sort of restoring to
27:56the
27:56heart to un-forget that's fascinating fantastic wonderful
