00:20Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on the day that way back in 2003, Britain sweltered in record
00:38-breaking temperatures.
00:40It was the hottest day ever. Apparently, Gravesend, Gravesend was hit by 100.6 Fahrenheit.
00:48That's 38.1 degrees centigrade. My word. Incredibly hot.
00:53Right. And I guess we all remember those hot, hot summer days when the asphalt melted under the car, which
01:00didn't have air conditioning or all sitting in this tin can, sitting on the beach, getting burnt and the rest
01:06of it.
01:06But apparently, Rachel, according to the scientists, that's nothing compared to what's coming.
01:14Spain is going to be bleached white with heat and it's coming north. And how will we cope with all
01:19that?
01:20Now, can you remember any one hot summer day in this country when it was intolerable?
01:26Not that hot. I mean, it's hard to remember, isn't it? Especially with the summer we've had, it's been rubbish.
01:30Yeah.
01:31And you go abroad and it's kind of 35 and you just, you forgot what that was like and don't
01:35own any clothing suitable at all.
01:37Even, I think it was in their late 20s this summer, my friend sat in the garden for two hours
01:41in England and everyone was burnt to a crisp.
01:42I know.
01:43You just don't expect it, but still just as potent.
01:46Now, Annie Humphries is back, a retired teacher from Basildon. And you've done so well. One more and you're halfway
01:55to becoming an octo champ, Annie.
01:57We look forward to hearing from you later. You're joined by Paul Emmett, a musician from Grantham in Lincolnshire.
02:03You once played a trombone solo whilst abseiling down a church.
02:08Yes.
02:08Was this for money?
02:09It was for charity, yes. Someone said they'd double their sponsorship if I'd played a trombone halfway down. And so
02:16I did.
02:16And you abseiled down a church, what? Spire? Or a tower?
02:20Yes, yeah, down the tower. Yeah. One of the highest in the UK.
02:23Excellent. Not wearing that shirt, I hope.
02:25No, no. Something a little brighter, probably.
02:28Good for you. Well, let's have a big round of applause then for Annie Humphries and Paul Emmett.
02:38And over in the corner there on this Wednesday, Susie Dent, of course, joined once again by the wonderful Charlie
02:45State, BBC Breakfast presenter and journalist.
02:47Welcome back, Charlie.
02:48Thank you very much.
02:49Welcome back.
02:50And you didn't have to get up at three in the morning to be here, either.
02:52No, it's like a lie-in.
02:53Exactly. All right. Well, we'll make it difficult for you as we go along, but more stories from the studio
03:00from you a little later.
03:01But now we turn to you, Annie Humphries, for a letters game. Annie.

13:47Lovely.
13:48Well done.
13:50Well done.
13:5145 plays 10 as we turn to Charlie.
13:54And Charlie, presenting BBC Breakfast, you know, things happen fast.
14:00You know, stories change.
14:02And research is a sort of a key thing to get those facts.
14:07It certainly is.
14:08What I'd say about the research thing is that we're...
14:11I'm old enough to remember when, as a journalist, you used to have to go to a room which had
14:16drawers in and you'd find clippings.
14:18And that's what research was.
14:19Because there was no internet.
14:20There was no...
14:21So, you know, that was a mechanism you had to do.
14:23It's the only way.
14:24Or you'd read books or it'd be knowledge you already had.
14:27But, of course, nowadays you have enormous resources.
14:31You're...
14:31Yeah, you know.
14:32As soon as you're sitting there, you can find anything.
14:33Straight away, can't you?
14:34You can just find things out.
14:34Now, one of our jobs is to sift out, if you like, the stuff that anyone could have put in.
14:39It's just nonsense.
14:40And if you're not very careful, you can get badly caught out.
14:42And obviously because we're alive and that happens, it's very embarrassing.
14:46My worst was with former James Bond, George Lazenby.
14:51And we were talking to him about a recent movie he's in.
14:55And I'd done a stupid bit of research.
14:57And a little thing had stuck in my head, a fact, you know, a little factoid.
15:01And I thought, well, I'll chuck it in.
15:03And I said to him, one of the interesting things about you, George, is that, of course,
15:08you used to be a member of the Australian SAS.
15:13And he looked completely blank.
15:15He just stared at me.
15:16And he said, no, I wasn't.
15:19And I went, oh, but I mean, I just thought that you were once in the Australian SAS.
15:27And he went, no, I never was.
15:30And so immediately I'm thinking, you go into kind of recovery mode.
15:33And you're like, well, anyway, tell us about, you know, the next project or whatever.
15:36And he's still, he's kind of shaking his head.
15:38And he's going, why would you say that?
15:41Oh, I see.
15:42He wouldn't let the moment go.
15:43And I was like, oh, it doesn't matter anyway.
15:44Tell us about it.
15:45And he just couldn't get over it.
15:46He was just sort of left there going, why, why has he come up with this nonsense that
15:50never happened?
15:51So it's a little lesson.
15:52Extraordinary.
15:52It's a little lesson in just being careful what you think is fact.
15:55I thought your story was going to be that you thought when he said I wasn't in the SAS,
16:00that, well, of course, he'd say that because you could never admit that you would get into
16:04one of those things.
16:04Well, that remains the case.
16:05Of course, that could be true.
16:07It could be that he really was in the Australian SAS.
16:09As you say, he was, he's sworn to secrecy.
16:11So, you know, he had to, he's forever.
16:13You were right all along.
16:14Yes.
16:15How funny.
16:16Lovely story.
16:17Thanks, Charlie.
16:21Very good.
16:22All right.
16:23Now then, pause off the blocks and it's Annie's letters game.

19:46Oh, sorry, Charlie.

19:49I'm sorry.
19:51There's an eight there, operants, another countdown word, a term from psychology, all to do with a modification of behaviour,
19:58behavioural operants.

23:55Okay.
23:57Absolutely fine.
23:58People who advocate or practice a departure from traditional style or values, they are
24:02the moderns.
24:03Very good.
24:04Very good.
24:05And can we match that?
24:07Charlie and Susie.
24:08Well, I wrote down two things.
24:09I wrote modes, M-O-D-E-S, and then I wrote down if you're nearly a mod, are you
24:16moddish?
24:17You can be moddish.
24:18Yeah, same thing.
24:19Is that the same thing?
24:20Well, yes, it means fashionable.
24:21Very good.

25:49Yes. Annie? Six.
25:52A six? Six. Two sixes. Annie?
25:55Or nature. And? Nature.
25:58And nature. Yes.
26:02Happy enough? Very happy.
26:03All right. Susie, anything else?
26:05Neutral is there for seven.
26:07And there is an eight, actually, to out-learn,
26:10to outstrip somebody in learning, is to out-learn them.
26:13Out-learn. Really?
26:16It's both three. 73 plays 16.
26:18And Susie, we're back with you for your wonderful Origins of Words.
26:23What have you got for us today?
26:25I have some flowers, because our gardens have been looking beautiful.
26:29One benefit of not having a great summer is that the gardens still look absolutely lovely.
26:33So I thought I would whiz through the garden
26:35and talk about the origins of some of our flower names.
26:39I'm going to actually start with one that we see everywhere,
26:42probably not in our gardens, but outside, under hedgerows, etc.
26:45And that's cowslip.
26:47Cowslip has a very unromantic origin.
26:49It goes back to cow slime, it's an old English word, or dung,
26:54because the plant grows especially well in pastures,
26:58where cows do their business.
27:01So sorry to start with that one.
27:02Dandelion, lots of people will know, that's dung de lion,
27:06the tooth of a lion, because of the shape of its leaves.
27:10Edelweiss is very nice, that just means noble white.
27:13A foxglove, also known as digitalis, used for heart disease.
27:20Digitalis is to do with fingers, but a foxglove itself is because the blossoms,
27:25the tubular blossoms of the flower, look a little bit like the empty fingers of a glove.
27:30The fox bit is a bit of a mystery, but some people think that it once was folks glove,
27:36with reference to fairies, because it was believed that it was a popular haunt of fairies in the garden.
27:42A geranium, that comes from the Greek for crane,
27:45because the seed pod is said to look like the bill of a crane, the bird.
27:51Gladiolus, related to gladiators, because of the sword-like spikes of the flowers.
27:56Heliotrope means simply turns to the sun, as sunflowers do.
28:01Iris is beautiful, named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow.
28:04I love that.
28:05It's marigold, named after the Virgin Mary, and the colour gold.
28:09But its botanical name is calendula, and that goes back to the Romans' calend, the first of the month.
28:15Obviously, it gave its calendar as well, because the flowers, like a little calendar, bloom each month.
28:21I like that one.
28:22Fantastic.
28:22Well, lovely.
28:27Dandelion, I've never heard that before.
28:29Mind you, I've never heard of any of them.
28:30Yes, it has much ruder names in there.
28:32It had old English nicknames as well, which were a little bit ruder to do with its diuretic properties,
28:37but we'll pass over that.
28:38Well done.
28:39All right, thank you, Susie.
