00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon, noisy audience today, and welcome to the Countdown Studio, and after the excitement of our series
00:38finals last week, we're kicking off a new series today, on this Monday, and there happens to be another tournament
00:45that's kicking off today, the oldest tennis tournament in the whole world, why? It's Wimbledon 2016, extraordinary, the competition was
00:53founded way back in 1877, and Rachel, I've got some great stats here for you.
00:59I'm not going to ask you questions, well, maybe I will. How many spectators do you think turn up every
01:04year at Wimbledon?
01:06300,000?
01:07Near, half a million. And how many balls are banged over the net, do you think, during game play?
01:15Uh, 10,000?
01:1850,000.
01:19Wow, OK.
01:2050,000. And around 140,000 portions of the iconic strawberries and cream are guzzled in the restaurants and courtside,
01:30I suppose, at Wimbledon. It's a great, great tournament.
01:33I've been a couple of times. I saw Federer playing. Brilliant. Have you been? Do you play tennis? Do you
01:39like tennis?
01:39I don't. I'm terrible at playing, but I've been to Wimbledon once, and it's amazing. The atmosphere is so different,
01:44because I'm used to football. So the audiences at Wimbledon, compared to the crowds at Old Trafford, a slightly different
01:50genre, and everyone's so polite, and you've got all the armed forces there, keeping everyone in check.
01:53Exactly.
01:54And telling you when to be quiet, when to sit down, when to stand up. It's very civilised.
01:58Let's hope that Andy has a good show this year, anyway.
02:02Exactly.
02:03Andy Murray. God bless him. Now then, who's with us, Rachel? We've got Norm Ahmad is back, our reigning champion
02:08from Northolt in Middlesex, who's a traveller, and he's clambered up Kilimanjaro. That must have been fun. What time of
02:14year was it?
02:15It was October, about three years ago.
02:17OK. Is there always snow on the peak?
02:20I think there is, yeah. There wasn't too much when I was there, but there was a little bit.
02:23You got to the top?
02:24Yeah.
02:24Good for you.
02:25Good fun.
02:26And you're joined today by Andrew Fenton, who has something of a mountain to climb if he's to beat you.
02:32Today's sales director from Roos in the Vale of Glamorgan, who's a sports lover, plays cricket for Barry Wanderers Cricket
02:39Club, and you play Skittles too.
02:41I do.
02:42Tell us a bit about this Skittles of yours.
02:44Bit of a dwindling sport, but I'm captain for a local side, called the Caffin Originals in Panath.
02:50Skittles? You play indoors?
02:51Indoor Skittles, yes.
02:52It's good fun, though.
02:53Yeah, it is.
02:54Good exercise, too.
02:55Good exercise. Keep everyone out of the house. Gives their respective partners a break for three hours, so.
02:59Exactly. Well, that's a big round of applause, then, for Andrew and Norm.
03:06Andrew and Norm.
03:07And over in the corner, after a peaceful weekend, I trust, the wonderful Susie Dent, joined once again by, well,
03:14we term him a friend of the show.
03:16None other than John. Cultural comedian, impressionist, and all-round good guy. Welcome back, John.
03:20Oh, I always love my countdown weeks, especially at the start of Wimbledon.
03:25Indeed.
03:26Which gives me, you know, a great opportunity, you know, to, like, bring out the Andy Murray, and I'm hoping
03:30for some great games.
03:33And I will speak with this level of unbridled joy.
03:38Good for you. More from you later, John. But now let's get down to business with Norm. Norm.
03:43Hi, Rachel.
03:44Hi, Norm.
03:45Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:46Thank you. Start the week with L.

05:07Susie.
05:08Yeah, there was another, an alternative seven there.
05:11Utensil.
05:12Yeah.
05:12But just at the last moment, Susie uncovered an eight.
05:16Sulfite is there.
05:18Ten from chemistry.
05:18It's a salt of sulfurous acid.
05:21Thank goodness for that.
05:22All right.
05:23Well done.

06:46Ailerons, yes.
06:47They come up now and again, don't they?
06:49They do, so to speak, yes.
06:51What about Andrew?
06:52Training engines on an airplane wing.
06:54Four lane, unfortunately, Andrew is not there, so it was a risky one.
06:59I'm sorry.
06:59Bad luck?
07:00Yeah.
07:01Now then, in the corner, what have we got?
07:03There was another, an eight starting with four, which was for sale.
07:08Yes.
07:09As in for sale in the shipping term.
07:12Oh, OK.
07:12Rather than for sale.
07:14Yeah.
07:14Yeah, principal sale.

14:24Very good.
14:25All right.
14:26Thank you very much.
14:28So you've sprung into a lead by two points, 34 to 32.
14:33As we turn to John Culshaw, John Culshaw.
14:37You've been working with the great Tom Baker, I hear.
14:40Yes, a few months ago on one of the big Finnish audio Doctor Who productions.
14:47And when you're working with Tom Baker, the anecdotes are non-stop.
14:52It was a three-day record.
14:53And he was sitting there in the green room, and the anecdotes were just perpetual and
15:00absolutely marvellous, just springing from the top of the mind all the time.
15:04And there was one of them where he said, yes, I'd love to rise at early light, just before
15:09dawn.
15:10Wonderful time.
15:11It feels you have the whole planet to yourself.
15:14And I love to take the dog for a walk.
15:16We have a wonderful lurcher.
15:19A wonderful lurcher who follows me around in the woodland near my home, and we walk just
15:24before dawn.
15:25Sometimes the cat joins us, too, and we form a little pack.
15:28And I simply like to walk around with that sense that you have the whole planet to yourself.
15:33And I love to recite Shakespeare to myself.
15:36Yes, I do let all the number of stars give light to thy fair way.
15:41Wonderful.
15:42One of life's little pleasures.
15:43And I thought, imagine if you were just innocently going about your business, strolling around
15:48early one morning, and there you saw Tom Baker, the doctor, walking around, quoting Shakespeare
15:54in the woodland.
15:55It would be such a marvellous sight.
15:56And these anecdotes were endless and quite wonderful.
16:02The rest of them, however, were unbroadcastable.
16:06So I must leave it there, as a matter of fact.
16:09But yeah, wonderful.
16:10He once said that he could make any old rubbish sound like Shakespeare.
16:15You know his voice wherever it is.
16:17Yes, there's not too many commercial ad breaks where you don't hear Tom Baker talking about
16:23something.
16:24Call now.
16:26Never too far away.
16:27Brilliant.
16:28Well done, Jonathan.
16:29Lovely.
16:29Lovely.
16:31Lovely.
16:34Lovely.
16:35You do two of the great voices, Baker, which is so...
16:39And the other one, of course, is William Hague.
16:41Nobody else has got a voice like Hague.
16:43Oh, no, certainly not.
16:44There is a very nice way that he sort of stretches the words.
16:51Maybe I will announce the next few words as William Hague.
16:59Well done, John.
17:01Now then, what shall we do?
17:02Norm, let's have a letters game.
17:04Can I have a consonant, please?

18:24Tarried was there for seven.
18:27Tardier, another seven, but there is an eight, isn't there, Susie?
18:30There is, yes.
18:31It's a grammatical term, durative, D-U-R-A-T-I-V-E,
18:35and it is relating to continuing action of a tense, for example,
18:40as opposed to punctual, something that occurs at a very specific time.
18:45Right on.

26:03emails uh because they're coming in thick and fast which many thanks and this one comes from neil jones
26:08he emailed in to say etiquette is clearly french but where does it come from uh and he's right
26:14etiquette is of course french and we're all ruled by it codes of social uh behavior and uh even today
26:21we observe uh these these rituals or these we fulfill the expectations really of our society
26:27in so many ways the term began with the old french uh esticier and that actually meant to fix
26:33or to uh attach it's the root of the english verb to stick
26:37uh so esticier uh also uh was related to an estiquette
26:42and uh that was a written order that originally assigned a soldier to his billet
26:48and then after that it was any general notice that was pinned up or stuck on the wall uh declaring
26:54uh certain events or uh certain prohibitions for example and this sense was taken up in english as
27:00ticket something stuck up really uh but etiquette moved in a slightly different direction
27:05and if you take the court of louis the 14th all visitors would be issued with an etiquette card
27:12and this etiquette card was incredibly important it brought instructions on what to wear
27:17uh what to uh call the people around you uh there was for example no touching at all of any
27:23royal personage so that was down on there as well but etiquette really began to take off with the
27:29victorians and that when it came was when it really came into uh english the victorians loved manuals
27:35telling them uh what to do essentially but if you look back to louis the 14th that's where etiquette
27:40was incredibly important and uh we still in some way bear that legacy today
27:46brilliant
27:52that's wonderful and the etiquette in letter writing there's a book on it actually yeah well
27:57there's all sorts of etiquette books and they're still very popular today i think yeah all right so

31:15Yep.
31:15What can we do better?
31:16We have an eight.
31:18News just in.
31:19Yes, it's a literary term and it's legioned.
31:23So something is legioned if it's arrayed in legions.
31:31Sorry, can you just explain that a little bit more deeply?
31:33Well, you might talk about meadows being legioned with daisies or flowers, for example.
31:38It just means populated by many, I think, in that literary sense.
31:44All right.
31:45Eighty-three to eighty-five.
31:47Now then, Andrew, numbers time.
31:50Two from the top, please, Rachel.

32:478 times 100 is 800.
32:49Yep.
32:50Plus 50 is 8, 50.
32:518, 50.
32:526 over 2 is 3, and then take that from the 10.
