00:08Thank you very much.
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:33On the day that 30 years ago, way back in 1986, we lost one of our greatest artists, the great
00:39sculptor Henry Moore, passed away.
00:43And his semi-abstract sculptures, of course, those huge bronzes look so tremendous outside in the parks and so forth.
00:51A real giant in sculpture.
00:54Do I have a favourite sculptor?
00:55Well, her name, a very talented young woman, is Domenica de Ferranti.
01:00And I'll tell you a little story.
01:02And that is, I'm away from home so much, as you know, Rich, I'm hardly ever there, that her indoors
01:08decided that she wanted some sort of three-dimensional depiction of my head.
01:14So she could shout at it when I wasn't there.
01:18Or even throw things at it.
01:20Because she didn't want your body.
01:21And so it was that Domenica de Ferranti was called upon to do a bust.
01:27And I think we can see that bust.
01:30There's Domenica, the most wonderful, wonderful young sculptress.
01:34And the old bloke in the background is me in sort of clay.
01:38Let's see what the finished article looks like.
01:40This is in bronze.
01:41Oh, you can barely see it.
01:43There's the profile.
01:43See that big nose?
01:44That's mine.
01:46When you're away, does your wife do that home alone trick where she puts your head on one of the
01:49toy trains or something and gets it going around to scare the neighbours?
01:53To get the burglars off.
01:54The last time I came back, it had a hat on it and a pair of specs.
01:59She dresses him up.
02:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:01Did she take him to bed with her?
02:02No, she couldn't lift it.
02:04Now, I'll tell you who's got a bit of artistic skill.
02:06That's Martin Hurst, who's back again with four wins to his name.
02:11An insurance document writer from Ashevale in Surrey.
02:14My word, you're on a roll here, young man.
02:16Four wins, four wins.
02:18And the highest score of 130, which I think is the highest score in the series so far.
02:24So, tremendous.
02:25That's sort of look out Simon Cookson, really.
02:28But welcome to you, Simon.
02:29A maths teacher from Chorley in Lancashire.
02:32Big sports fan, a golfer, snooker player and a pool player, as well as supporting Blackburn Rovers.
02:38And you love your thrillers, I think.
02:40Oh, that's right.
02:41The novels.
02:42Yes, that's right, yeah.
02:43I've read most of the work from Ian Rankin, particularly like his Reba series of novels.
02:48Yeah.
02:49And I've recently started reading Peter James' work.
02:52Okay.
02:52And that's very, very good as well.
02:54Excellent.
02:54Well, let's see if you can have a sort of a thriller of a ride today.
02:58I hope you both do.
02:59Big round of applause for Martin and Simon.
03:04And there is Susie, of course, joined once again by the wonderful Gloria Hunneford.
03:09For over 40 years, you have graced our radio stations and our TV stations.
03:15Fantastic.
03:15I have to tell you, if I don't keep moving, I'll rust.
03:17Now then, Martin, off you go.
03:20Let us go.
03:21Hi, Rachel.
03:22Hi, Martin.
03:22Can I start with a vowel, please?
03:24Start the day with O.
03:26And another?
03:27E.
03:28And another?
03:29A.
03:30And a consonant, please?
03:32S.
03:33And another?
03:34L.
03:36And another?
03:37F.
03:38And another?
03:40D.
03:42And another, please?
03:44M.
03:46And a final consonant, please?
03:50And a final B.
03:52And here's the countdown clock.
04:24Martin?
04:26Oh, risk a seven.
04:29Simon?
04:30Six.
04:31And that's six?
04:33Models.
04:34Now then.
04:35Flambéed?
04:37Well, you've got flambéed as in the past tense of the verb, haven't you?
04:42You need two E's.
04:43Is that what you were thinking, Martin?
04:44I'm so sorry.
04:45You could have had flambés as the present tense,
04:51which would have been less controversial,
04:53but yet you need two E's.
04:54So how are you spelling your flambés?
04:57Flambés is F-L-A-M-B-E, acute accent, S.
05:01Yeah.
05:01But if he flambéed his plan last night, it's E-E-D.
05:06Right.
05:07Hold on.
05:08So, well done, Simon.
05:09Six points.
05:10And Simon, you want us again?
05:13Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:13Good afternoon, Simon.
05:14I could have a consonant, please.
05:16Start with R.
05:18And another consonant, please.
05:20W.
05:21And a third.
05:23N.
05:24And a vowel.
05:25U.
05:27And another vowel.
05:28E.
05:29And another vowel.
05:31I.
05:33A consonant, please.
05:35R.
05:37A consonant, please.
05:39F.
05:41And a vowel.
05:43And the last one.
05:45O.
05:47Downtown.
05:48O.
06:09Downtown.
06:18Yes, Simon?
06:19Just a five.
06:20A five.
06:21Martin?
06:21Eight.
06:23And an A.
06:24Simon?
06:26Frown.
06:27Frownier.
06:29Um.
06:30Oh, I'm sorry, Martin.
06:31I did check.
06:32I had frownier, thinking that was fine.
06:34That's not in.
06:35No, it's frowny or frownier.
06:37So I have to disallow that, I'm afraid.
06:40Um, sixes only.
06:42And?
06:42For us.
06:43Ruiner or furrow.
06:44And that was our top.
06:46And I got nothing.
06:46I didn't get any of those, so I think that's zero for me.
06:49Plenty of time, though.
06:51Eleven points in the lead.
06:52Simon's eleven points in the lead, and it's Martin's numbers game.
06:55Uh, this may be a bit risky against the maths teacher, but I'll go six small.
06:59Thank you, Martin.
07:00Gambling early days.
07:02Let's see.
07:03Six little ones against the maths teacher.
07:05And these six smalls are six.
07:07Six.
07:08Ten.
07:09Seven.
07:10One.
07:11And two.
07:12And the target?
07:13Three hundred and three.
07:15Three oh three.
07:18Three oh three.
07:18Three oh three.
07:47Three oh three.
07:50Three oh two.
07:51How about Simon?
07:52Three oh one.
07:53Three oh one.
07:54So, Martin?
07:56Okay, six six is a thirty-six.
07:59Six.
08:00Six is thirty-six.
08:01Then seven minus one is six.
08:03Seven minus one, six.
08:04Take that away.
08:05Thirty.
08:06Times by ten.
08:07Times by ten, three hundred.
08:09And you are one away.
08:11Three oh two.
08:12Close, but not perfect.
08:14For that, we turn to Rachel.
08:16Three oh three, or is that really tricky?
08:18Um, leave it with me.
08:20I'll leave that certainly with you.
08:22And we turn now, with the score standing at seven, to Simon's eleven.
08:26We turn to a teaser.
08:28A tea time teaser.
08:29Both came, is the teaser.
08:31And the clue, they both came to offer up a sacrifice to their god.
08:34They both came to offer up a sacrifice to their god.
08:52And the answer to that is Hecatomb.
09:01Hecatomb.
09:02Yeah, nothing to do with tombs, actually.
09:04In ancient Greece or Rome, it was a huge public display of sacrifice, often killing many, many animals.
09:12And from there, it's come to mean an extensive loss of life in pursuit of a particular cause.
09:18It actually goes back to the Greek meaning a hundred oxen.
09:22Oh, yeah.
09:22Because, originally, it was a hundred oxen that were involved in the sacrifice.
09:26There we go.
09:28Now, three oh three.
09:30It was then, it could be, say, ten plus seven, seventeen, times six, one hundred and two.
09:36Take away one, one hundred and one.
09:38And then the other six divided by two is three times.
09:41Fantastic.
09:42Thank you, Rachel.
09:45Perfect.
09:46Perfect, perfect.
09:47So, Martin on seven, Simon on eleven.
09:50Well done, Simon.
09:51Your letters game.
09:52A consonant, please, Rachel.
09:54Thank you, Simon.
09:55N.

11:09Gloria.
11:10Seven, I'm very excited.
11:12It is uneaten.
11:13Very good.
11:15And Susie.
11:17I was just checking uncaged, because I knew uncaged would be in,
11:20but uncaged to release from a cage is there as well.
11:23That's for sure, yeah.
11:23The problem with that.
11:24And uneaten.
11:24Of course, nothing is uneaten if there's a gannet around.
11:27No.
11:28Eat like gannets, yeah.
11:3017 plays 13.
11:31Simon still in the lead.
11:33It's Martin's letters game.
11:35Can I have a vowel, please?

12:39Martin. Seven. And Simon. Seven. Martin. Dottier. And Simon. Same word. Both of you. Oh, well, we're all copying each
12:49other because we were Dottier as well in this corner. Yes. You're all Dottier? Yes. Dottier. 24, please. 20. And
12:57it's Simon's numbers game. Simon. As Martin likes to challenge, we'll try four large, please. Thank you. We've had the
13:04six more. We're going for the other hard selection, potentially.
13:07Four large, two little. And they are six and three. And the big one's 25, 100, 75 and 50. And
13:18your target? 346. 346.
13:51Well, Simon. 344. Two away. Martin. 346. Now's your chance. OK. 100 plus 75. 100. Yep. Plus 75. 175. And
14:0450 divided by 25.
14:05Is two. Take that away. 173. Then six divided by three is two. Is another two. Perfect. Well done.
14:12That is good. Well done.
14:18That's amazing. So, Martin sprung into the lead, his usual position. But let's wait and see. 30 plays 24. There's
14:26nothing in it as we turn to Gloria.
14:28Now then, Gloria. I believe that you're not a frequent train traveller. But you did take a train trip recently.
14:36I did. I should say that I love travelling by train. But it's just impractical because I'm always carrying stuff,
14:42clothes, research, bits for work.
14:44And it's just too complicated. But recently, I was going to meet a friend in from Australia.
14:48And one of my sons was coming with me. And he said, why don't you go by train? So, my
14:53husband left me down in Seven Oaks. Train came within seconds almost. Got into London to Charing Cross.
14:59It only took 24 minutes. I thought, this could just change my life. So, we met our friend, had a
15:04meeting. They were going back through the tube.
15:07So, Michael, my son, said, oh, there's a train to Seven Oaks, platform four, whatever it was. So, I got
15:12on the train, ran. I thought, this is easy.
15:14And the next thing I knew, somebody was to, excuse me, Susie, having to touch it, was going like, waking
15:20up, love. You've got to get up. You've got to get up.
15:22It's the end of the line. So, I'd gone to Sidcup. And I was kind of lying against the window.
15:27And she just said, it's Sidcup. You've got to get up, love. You've got to get up.
15:30And as I turned around, she said, oh, my God, it's you. So, now, she said, I'll take you to
15:35the platform. Now, I've got to go three stops back, apparently.
15:38Anyway, by the time I went back three stops, I suddenly saw a sign for Orpington. I thought, I know
15:43where Orpington is, not too far.
15:45So, I rang my husband. I said, don't even ask me, but come and get me. Anyway, he came and
15:49picked me up.
15:50And this journey that took me 24 minutes going in took me two and a half hours to get home.
15:55However, here's the punchline. So, Stephen had to go to town the next day to London.
15:59It was lashing with rain. And he got into a cab. Now, in London, thousands of cabs.
16:04So, he could have picked anyone. And so, he said, where are you going to, mate?
16:07And he said, I'm going to Sevenoaks. I said, oh, do you live in Sevenoaks? He said, I do.
16:10He said, Gloria Honeyford lives there. So, my husband went, does she?
16:14He said, you never guess. He said, she always slept and got on the wrong train.
16:18And my wife had to waken her up and take her and put her on the right train.
16:21So, Stephen said, oh, what was she like? Fortunately, he said, oh, apparently she was very nice.
16:28She was very well dressed and very polite.
16:31How funny.
16:3330 plays 24. Martin's back where he normally finds himself.
16:38But let's see what happens now. Martin, let us go.
16:42Vowel, please, Rachel.
16:43Thank you, Martin.

18:04No, no way.
18:05Sorry.
18:06Yeah, that was a chance.

19:53Yeah, a few sevens.
19:54Cashier has suit, but you can push it to an eight with a cheriest.
19:59If you're cherry, you're reluctant to do something, a little bit cautious.

25:02Seven, Simon?
25:03Seven.
25:05Martin?
25:06Plagued.
25:07And Simon Cooks?
25:08Applied.
25:10Applied.
25:11Very good.
25:11Tremendous contest we've got here.
25:13Yeah.
25:14Now, Gloria?
25:15We were full of the plague as well, weren't we?
25:17Yeah.
25:18I do have anything else, did you?
25:19Well, there is an eight, actually.
25:23Pupillage, which you would think would have a double L, and it does usually, but you can
25:26spell it with just one.
25:28The state of being a pupil or in law, it's got a very specific sense of somebody being
25:33an apprenticeship to a member of the bar, which you then go on to become a barrister.
25:38Yeah, indeed.
25:39Indeed.
25:40So, 60 a piece, Susie.
25:43It's that time.
25:44Your origins of words.
25:45What will you tell us about today?
25:47Well, I had a really nice email from Johnny Howarth, who said, why do we call a ladybird
25:53a ladybird?
25:54And it's a great question.
25:56This is something that we don't necessarily think about.
25:58But first of all, why the lady?
25:59And secondly, why a bird?
26:01And if you look up in the Oxford English Dictionary, the Historical Dictionary, its first record of
26:08the word ladybird, you'll find a 1674 glossary of Southern English dialect.
26:14And the author describes how the dialect word bishop is the Southern English term for the
26:20little spotted beetle commonly called the lady cow or the ladybird.
26:25And then ladybug followed and eventually ladybird settled.
26:29But both terms are preceded by this cow lady and lady cow, which is even stranger than a ladybird.
26:36That is a complete mystery for us.
26:39But there is a parallel going back even further of God's cow, which may have been the same insect.
26:45But quite where the cow comes from, we're not quite sure.
26:49The ladybird, we can, however, pinpoint a little bit more exactly.
26:53Obviously, as I say, neither a bird nor a lady.
26:55If you start with the bird, there is actually some idea that it might be an alteration of bud,
27:01b-u-d-d-e, which was in Middle English, it was applied to quite a few different forms of
27:06insects.
27:07But it's generally considered that bird was simply a reference, if you like, to the bug's winged nature and its
27:15flying abilities.
27:17Lady comes to that bit, apparently refers to the seven spots of, I'll have to read this out,
27:22the Cochinella septem punctata.
27:24Chris Packham would know this one.
27:26And that's our common native ladybird that obviously is being threatened these days by the Harlequin ladybird.
27:31But that's our native one, which has seven spots, typically.
27:35And these are said to symbolise the seven pains of the Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic faith,
27:41which involved the flight to Egypt and, of course, the crucifixion of Christ.
27:46And so ladybird probably was simply our lady's bird.
27:50Brilliant.
27:51Very clever.
27:52Very clever.
27:57Troubles, when you hear that explanation, never look at it the same way ever again.
28:01No.
28:02It's true.
28:02That's beautiful.
28:03I love ladybirds.
28:04Indeed.
28:04Sixty apiece.
28:05And Simon, your letters game.
