00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:33I think it was Paul McCartney who sang so beautifully Love is Blind,
00:36and that may well be true according to new research that's just been released
00:40looking at children lying to their parents.
00:43Very interesting research document this, Rachel.
00:46It says parents were only able to spot a lie told by their child one times in ten.
00:52They prefer to believe that they're telling the truth,
00:55whereas strangers could pick up on the lies more than 40% of the time when told by that same
01:01child.
01:01Isn't that interesting, yeah?
01:03The same parents could detect the lying of other people's children,
01:06which is sort of the same thing really, with a much higher accuracy,
01:10showing that they have a bias towards believing their own offspring.
01:14The suggestion by the testers being that they don't want to disrupt a trusting relationship between parent and child.
01:20So any child that's watching this can use that to their advantage now?
01:23Absolutely.
01:23You can get away with much more than you think.
01:25Exactly. Remember that, kids.
01:27You know, you lie as much you like, they'll never pick it up.
01:29Do I consider myself good at detecting a lie?
01:32Do you know, I think it's...
01:33There's nothing worse than being suspicious all the time.
01:35So I tend to believe whatever people tell me,
01:38which makes me, I suppose, that I'm often accused of being really quite naive.
01:42But I think that's a more healthy way of being.
01:43I'm the same. I'm quite oblivious to all that kind of thing.
01:46Have you listened to the podcast Serial?
01:48No.
01:48Have you heard of that?
01:49It's about a guy who's been accused of murder and he's in prison for it.
01:52And he categorically says he didn't do it.
01:54And then all the other people in the story categorically say he does.
01:57So someone's lying because it all contradicts itself.
01:59And whenever you hear one, you think they're telling the truth.
02:01Then you hear the next one.
02:02It's just...it's impossible.
02:04It is. It's interesting, isn't it?
02:06Because during my days, I suppose, reminding myself of my days on The Apprentices, of course,
02:12pretty much everybody's lying all the time.
02:14And it was my job, because I was there, to be able to correct them.
02:18And how much of that could you tell?
02:20Oh, fairly, yeah, because I was on the spot.
02:23So I could say, but it wasn't like that, Harry, was it?
02:26There we go.
02:27Now, we've got Rachel with us.
02:28Andrew, of course we have.
02:30Fenton going for his seventh win in a row.
02:32So we're looking for a possible octo-champ by the end of the week.
02:35Well done, Andrew.
02:36But first of all, you've got to hurdle Ken Irvin, a retired computer systems engineer
02:43from Stanton in Staffordshire, who's a cornet player in the Ashbourne Town Band.
02:48Tell us about this cornet.
02:49I don't think I've ever seen a cornet or held one.
02:52It's very similar.
02:54It's often confused with a trumpet.
02:56But to me, it's just slightly smaller, slightly shorter.
03:01But to my ears, it's a slightly more mellow sound.
03:05Isn't there a rank in the army called a cornet?
03:08I don't know.
03:09I have heard of.
03:10Yeah.
03:11How interesting.
03:12Well, let's have a big round of applause for Ken and Andrew Fenton.
03:21Hello, Britain Corner.
03:22Susie, of course, joined once again by the wonderful Alison Stedman,
03:25one of our finest actresses and a delight.
03:28We're so pleased to have you here.
03:30Pleased to be here.
03:31You'll have a lovely time, I'm sure.

06:25Also a six.
06:26Ken?
06:27Gallop.
06:28And Andrew?
06:30Pillar.
06:32Very good.
06:33Yes.
06:34And in the corner, Alison?
06:36We've also got Gallop.
06:38Well done.
06:39Susie, anything else?
06:40Extremely last minute.
06:41There is a seven there.
06:41Gorilla.
06:42At the Gallop.
06:44Twelve apiece.
06:45And Andrew, it's numbers time for you.
06:47May I have two from the top, please, and four from anywhere else?
06:50The same as you, Sean.
06:51Thank you, Andrew.
06:51Two large, four little coming up.
06:53And for this round, the four little ones are six, eight, seven, and one.
06:59And the big two, 25 and 50.
07:01And the target, 610.
07:04Six, one, zero.
07:06Six, one, zero.
07:38Six, zero, eight.
07:40Six, zero, eight.
07:43Six, zero, eight.
07:45Both of you.
07:46Andrew?
07:47Okay, six plus seven is 13.
07:50Six plus seven, 13.
07:52Minus one is 12.
07:5312.
07:54Times 50.
07:55600.
07:56Plus eight.
07:57Yeah, two away.
07:57Well done.
07:58And Ken?
07:59It's 50.
08:0125 is 75.
08:0375.
08:03Times eight.

08:06Out the seven and out the one.
08:07Yep.
08:08Seven and the one.
08:09Two away again.
08:10Is it possible?
08:12I think it's possible.
08:13I just got to one away, so I'll have another look.
08:15All right.
08:15Well done.
08:16It's 19 apiece as we turn to our first Tea Time Teaser, which is Barry Lid.
08:22And the glue.
08:23Barry put a lid on his rather lascivious behaviour.
08:26Barry put a lid on his rather lascivious behaviour.
08:45Welcome back.
08:46I left you with the clue.
08:47Barry put a lid on his rather lascivious behaviour.
08:49And the answer is ribaldry.
08:52Ribaldry.
08:52Now, where does ribaldry come from, or a ribald tale?
08:57Well, it originally came from Germanic, so very, very old, went via French, etc.
09:03But its first meaning was somebody who indulged in licentious pleasures and a prostitute.
09:09That was a sort of synonym for a prostitute as well.
09:12It's lost that sense, obviously, but now it's all about border humour, isn't it?
09:16Yeah.
09:17Yeah.
09:17Exactly.
09:18All right.
09:19Thank you, Susie.
09:1919 points apiece, and it's Ken's letters again.

10:48We've got tea bag.
10:50And a bait.
10:51And a bait.
10:52Nothing else?
10:53No, tea bag is as best as we could do.
10:55Tea bag.
10:55Yes.
10:56Right.
10:56Twenty-five plays nineteen.
10:58And Andrew.
10:59Letters time.

12:12Andrew?
12:13Crustiest.
12:15Oh, well done.
12:21Always a joy, isn't it, a nine?
12:23Fantastic.
12:24And your nine, Alison?
12:26Crustiest.
12:28Very similar to that.
12:29To Andrews.
12:31Would you believe?
12:32Would you believe?
12:32Anything else, Susie?
12:34No, no, that was ours.
12:35We thought it was an eight for a minute, didn't we?
12:37So we thought we'd been trumped.
12:38But actually, no, we did have that for nine.
12:39Well done.
12:39So, Andrew on 43, Ken on 19, and it's your numbers, Ken, Ken.
12:45Three from the top and three from the bottom, please, Rachel.
12:48Thank you, Ken.
12:48Three large, three little.
12:50And at this time, your numbers are three, ten, seven, 75, 50, and 100.
12:59And the target, 449.
13:01449.

13:04449.
13:33MUSIC CONTINUES
13:354.50.
13:364.50, Andrew.
13:384.50.
13:3910.
13:417 minus 3.
13:427 minus 3 is 4.
13:45Turns 100.
13:46Times 100, 400.
13:49And at the 50 for one away.
13:50Andrew, same way.
13:52We happy there?
13:54Yep.
13:55All right.
13:56But 4.49.
13:58Leave it with me.
14:00I'll leave you with that one.
14:01Looks tricky.
14:0250 plays, 26 as we turn now to Alison.
14:07And Alison, one of your best love roles was as Pamela, of course, in Gavin and Stacey.
14:12Did you know it's going to be such a massive hit?
14:16Well, no, but I think all actors would say the same thing.
14:21When you get sent a script, when you read it, you kind of know straight away, you know, there's
14:28something that happens.
14:30And whether it's a part you want to play.
14:33And I was sent, there was only one episode written, and Ruth and James sent it to me.
14:39I started to read it, and up came the character of Pamela, or Pamela, as she became known.
14:46And I read this first scene, and I knew it was right.
14:52As soon as I read that first scene, it said, Pamela's lying on the couch.
14:57It's late afternoon, and she's got two cucumbers on her eyes.
15:02And her son, Gavin, a little prince, comes in, and he says, all right, Mum.
15:06And she says, no, I'm not, actually.
15:09And he says, well, what's the matter?
15:11And she says, I'm really upset.
15:13I've just been watching Pet Watch.
15:16And I've seen this little badger, and he was crying.
15:19She was crying because the little cubs had died.
15:22And Gavin says, Mum, badgers don't cry.
15:26Then she says, Gavin, I know what I saw.
15:30And as soon as I read that scene, I just knew.
15:34And then I carried on reading, and I think it was loved by families.
15:38Families could watch.
15:39A 10-year-old could watch, and granny could watch as well, and everybody would enjoy it.
15:43So it was a terrific time for me, and terribly, terribly sad when it finished.
15:50I mean, it really did bring tears to my eyes, you know, when we were filming it.
15:53Could it ever come back, or is it all now split?
15:55Everybody's gone in different directions.
15:57I don't think so.
15:58I think we've got to say it was great and put it to bed.
16:02It had its time.
16:03Yes, exactly.
16:04Well, it was fantastic.
16:05Lovely.
16:06Thank you, Alison.
16:11And now, Rachel, what have you been up to?
16:14Yes, I found this one.
16:15If you say 75 minus 10 is 65, multiplied by 7 is 455,
16:22and then 100 divided by 50 is 2 times 3 is 6, and take it away, 449.
16:29Oh, well done, well done, Rachel.
16:32449.
16:33That's the way.
16:35So, Andrew on 50, Ken on 26, we turn to Andrew for a letters game.
16:39Andrew.
16:39A consonant, please.

17:52And throat.
17:53There's no C, I'm afraid, Ken, there for croak.
17:56No, I'm not afraid, yeah.
17:57A throat's absolutely fine.
17:59And what have we got in the corner, Alison?
18:01Um, turbot.
18:04Turbot.
18:04Very good.

19:29Your seven?
19:30Dollies.
19:31Now then, Ken?
19:32I was going to say Doleful, but I'm sure I think that's a seven, Doleful.
19:38So we sort of got the numbers wrong, sadly.
19:42What can we have, Susie, Alison?
19:45Well, we've got Dollies and we've got Follies.
19:49Anything else?
19:51No, I like Doleful. On its own, that would have been fine for seven.
19:54But no, that was our best.
19:57All right.
19:57Sixty-three plays.

21:38Welcome back.
21:39I left with the clue, Basil enjoyed his tea.
21:42He was very easy to satisfy.
21:45He was satiable.
21:46Satiable or easily sated, I suppose.
21:48Yes, exactly right.
21:50Yes, easily satisfied or sated indeed.
21:52Comes from satis enough in Latin.
21:55All right.

24:42So, Andrew?

24:46It's a sign.
24:47There we go.
24:49Yep.
24:49Unmasted.
24:50Dismasted.
24:51Unmasted of a ship having no mast.
24:54There has been since the mid-1600s.
24:58Very good.
25:01Does it mean that it's lost a mast in a storm?
25:05Or is that demasted or dismasted?
25:08It says as a result of its removal or destruction, so either.
25:11Yeah, okay.
25:11Jolly good.
25:12Well, we'll leave it there.
25:13Enough pain.
25:1487 to 40.
25:15And it's Susie.
25:17Oh.
25:18Oh, we're back with you, Susie.
25:19Oh, happy hour.
25:22For your origins of words.
25:24Well, we're actually back with lovely emails from our lovely viewers.
25:28This one comes from John Harvey, although quite a few people have asked me this one.
25:31It's the origin of a wild goose chase, and a couple of people have also asked whether it's linked to
25:36a red herring.
25:38What's that got to do with it?
25:40So I'll cover both of them quite quickly, if I may.
25:42First of all, wild goose chase, very old, appears to be one of the many phrases coined by Shakespeare.
25:51He introduced so many words into the language, no surprise, everybody knows this.
25:56Whether or not he actually coined them is a matter of debate, but certainly he propelled them into currency.
26:01And the first citation, the first record of a wild goose chase is from Romeo and Juliet, 1592.
26:09And in his day, a wild goose chase was a very specific thing.
26:12It was a kind of game.
26:13It was a high-speed horse gallop in which the second and all succeeding horses followed the first.
26:19And they followed the leader with great precision and also at specific intervals.
26:24That was very much part of the game.
26:26And the position of the horses resembled the flight formation of geese.
26:32And because of that, wild geese chase, or wild goose chase, as it became, was given to the game.
26:39That meaning, of course, became lost, the game died out.
26:42And the phrase came to mean simply a fruitless undertaking.
26:46Because more often than not, because of these intervals between the leader and the succeeding horses,
26:51they could never quite catch them up.
26:53So it was always a little bit of a vain undertaking.
26:56On to a red herring.
26:59This was, in the 1600s, it was a reference, really, to the use of a red herring to train horses,
27:07actually,
27:07in a sort of pack of hounds when they were going out fox hunting, which, of course, none of us
27:12agree with today.
27:13But the hounds would follow the very, very strong scent of preserved fish.
27:20And the horses would be trained to follow these hounds amid all the chaos.
27:24It was really meant to train the horses rather than the hounds, which is what's often supposed.
27:28The reason we use it to mean a diversionary tactic today was because William Cobbett, the politician,
27:32used it, in the sense of dragging a red herring across someone's path to put them off the scent.
27:38Very good.
27:40Well done.
27:4387 plays.

31:5850.
31:59550. 7 minus 6 is the 1. Well done. 549. Thank you. Andrew?
32:06Uh, different. 775 is a 525. And then 6 minus 5 is 1. Take that from the 25. Yep.

32:23So, Andrew, 112. Good score as we go into the final round. It's conundrum time, gentlemen.
32:29Fingers on buzzers. Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
32:57Andrew?
32:59Guess. Incarcity?
33:01Let's see whether you're right. No. Back to you, Ken.
33:12Well, they're both stumped up here, but who in the audience will offer...
33:17Yes, sir?
33:18Is it intricacy?
33:20Intricacy. Let's see.
33:21Here it comes.
33:23Intricacy. Well done.
33:25Well done.
33:27Intricacy.
33:29Well done, that man.
33:30So, we come to the end of the game. Andrew on 112. Ken on 58. Well done, Ken. That's a
33:36good score, but Andrew takes it. I'll be back to you in a second, Mr. Fenton.
33:40Ken, take your goodie bag back to the Ashbourne Town Band and good luck with the cornet. I shall look
33:48this up now. I think it's most interesting. Thank you very much.
33:51And we shall see Andrew tomorrow when you go for the octochamp score. That's fantastic.
33:56It's rather exciting, isn't it?
33:57It is very exciting. All right. See you tomorrow.
34:00And we shall see you both tomorrow. Alison and Susie, too.
34:03See you tomorrow.
34:04See you both tomorrow.
34:05We'll see whether he makes it tomorrow. What do you reckon?
34:07Well, he was our highest-scoring champion so far this series. He's been the only one. He could be the
34:12highest-scoring octochamp.
34:14Who knows? See you tomorrow, Rachel.
34:15And we look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Join us then. See whether Andrew Fenton clinches it.
34:21Same time, same place. You'll be sure of it. A very good afternoon.
