00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio on the very day that a stage adaptation of E.M. Forster's
00:38A Room with a View sets off on its UK tour, published way back in 1908.
00:43The novel was made into a successful film, we all remember it, back in 1985, set in Italy and here
00:50in England, of course.
00:51I guess A Room with a View is something that we all crave when we're travelling on holiday.
00:55And I always think it's best if you actually sort of arrive in a city late at night, travelling, and
01:00in the morning you fling open the window and you're met with an extraordinary view.
01:04And this happened to me twice, I must tell you.
01:06First of all, a little hotel in the Piazza dell'Rotonda in Rome opened the window, bang.
01:13Straight outside, of course, was the Pantheon, this wonderful, wonderful building with a dome that was a wonder of its
01:21time.
01:22And the other one, I remember we were on a dreadful holiday with the children and I invented actually a
01:30meeting in Athens to get away from it, it was awful.
01:33Anyway, I got there and when I opened the window in the morning I was confronted with the Parthenon.
01:40Just there. It was amazing. It'd be wonderful when they finish it.
01:44You say it's like a surprise that you're just booking these hotels.
01:47I did, literally.
01:48So there we are. Those are two rooms with a view. What about you?
01:53I'll go for something similar, actually.
01:54If you go up to the Vatican in St Peter's Basilica, the view you get, did you go up and
01:59you went up in the dome at the top?
02:01Claustrophobia.
02:02The view you get up there, though, I mean, you get the whole of Rome. It's absolutely gorgeous.
02:05Very good.
02:07Let's turn to today's business in hand with two new contestants.
02:11We've got Andy Barnaby, trading standards officer from Barnsley, a big ELO fan, after his dad brought him up listening
02:18to them.
02:18And you recently went to see them live in Leeds, I think.
02:21I did, yeah.
02:22What do you reckon?
02:22Brilliant. Fantastic.
02:24Yeah?
02:24Yeah.
02:24And then you went off to Hong Kong last year with your wife.
02:27I did, yeah.
02:27Fancy it?
02:28Yeah, brilliant.
02:28I mean, Hong Kong.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Fantastic. I'll echo your views about scenery. The scenery and the views in Hong Kong. Amazing.
02:35And the culture, the people and the food. Just topped it off.
02:38It's like a wave of people, isn't it? The population density of such.
02:42Yeah, it's so busy.
02:43Exciting place.
02:43Yeah, fantastic.
02:45All right. Well, this is an exciting place, particularly for you, because you're up against Chris Sinclair, a self-employed

09:08You can fill a lot of boats with a lot of cargo.
09:11The answer is a flotilla.
09:13A flotilla.
09:14Which language does that spring from?
09:17Spanish.
09:18And it comes from flota meaning a fleet.
09:20So a flotilla is a little fleet.
09:22This is a tortilla is a little tart or a little cake.

12:37Just satire is a noun.
12:38Sorry about that.
12:39Now, Helen.
12:41Now, there's a little eight hiding in there that we found.
12:44Disaster.
12:45Very good.
12:47Susie?
12:47Yes.
12:48Misalignment of the stars, as it originally meant.
12:51But, yeah, that was our age.
12:52Is that what it came from?
12:53Yes.
12:53How interesting.
12:54It's linked to asteroid, because they believed that the stars were the bestowers of luck or misfortune.
12:59So, you had an ill-starred Romeo and Capulet.
13:04That's how Shakespeare used it again, yeah.
13:05He had his own stuff.
13:06Very good.
13:07Now, what's this, Tarsus?
13:09What's this?
13:09Isn't it a little cute, little nocturnal mammal thing that's in Borneo, somewhere like that?
13:14Yeah.
13:15Small insectivorous tree-dwelling nocturnal primate.
13:18They've got really huge eyes, and little fluffy tails, yeah.

14:33Well done.
14:34Add 8 and 6 for the 2.
14:36Andy.
14:37Sorry, I've lost it again.
14:38I've gone wrong again.
14:39Sorry.
14:40Oh, bad luck.
14:41Bad luck.
14:41All right.
14:43All right.
14:43So, 38, please.
14:4418.
14:44As we turn now to Helen.
14:46And Helen, I find this very difficult to believe, actually.
14:49But I understand that you've just celebrated a special birthday.
14:54No, I think you must have got your numbers wrong, Nick.
14:56I don't think it can be the birthday you're thinking.
14:59Yes, it's been a huge birthday.
15:02I still feel 37.
15:03And I'm a lot older than that now.
15:06I was really, really dreading this year and turning that special age, that number that can't be mentioned.
15:12But I decided to sort of make the whole year a special year and to do some challenges and have
15:19some fun and do some different things to sort of try and forget the fact that I'm so old.
15:24So, my friends and family, I think, call it my midlife crisis.
15:27But I decided to take myself off to Glastonbury this year.
15:31I've never been to a festival.
15:32I love music.
15:34And I took my 12-year-old daughter and off we went.
15:38Headed off into the mud and had a fantastic time.
15:40And I think it was the muddiest year ever.
15:43But that just, in a way, sort of made it more of an experience and more fun.
15:47And we were quite near the front for Adele.
15:49And Francesca's not that tall.
15:51And she turned around at the beginning.
15:52And I think she was a bit disappointed.
15:53She couldn't see the stage.
15:55And a man standing next to us was wearing a Pirates of the Caribbean hat and wig.
16:00And he just looked down at Francesca.
16:02And he said, do you want to go on my shoulders?
16:05Do you want to watch for my shoulders?
16:06And she sort of looked up to him and said, you know, I'm absolutely caked in mud.
16:10And she was.
16:11And he said, I said, it doesn't matter.
16:12He said, I brought my 12-year-old last year to watch The Who.
16:15And she watched it on my shoulders.
16:16And he said, get on.
16:17And so she watched Adele from his shoulders.
16:19Wonderful.
16:20And when she came down, she was sort of quite, I think she was quite overwhelmed.
16:23Not only because she'd just seen her idol at such close quarters.
16:27But she'd looked out behind us.
16:29And I think she, you know, she realised, she got a sense of the scale of the festival and how
16:34many thousands of people were there.
16:36And I think she was a bit overwhelmed.
16:38But everybody was quite amazed.
16:39I think they all think I like fancy hotels and I can't do a bit of festival going.
16:44But, no, it was a good thing to do in my special year.
16:47Brilliant.
16:48Lovely story.
16:53And to that pirate, whoever he was, good man.
16:57Good man.
16:58All right.
16:59Chris on now 38, Andy on now 18.

25:01Andy, just a five.
25:03Five, Chris?
25:04Yep, five as well.
25:06Andy?
25:06Spurs.
25:07And Chris?
25:09Pious.
25:10Pious?
25:11Yeah.
25:12Good word, Helen.
25:13Rip saws for seven.
25:15A rip saw?
25:16Rip saw with a W.
25:18That's very good, yeah.
25:19A coarse saw for cutting wood along the grain.
25:21You've probably got one of those.
25:23Possibly.
25:24Not that you know of.
25:26I certainly think I've ever used one.
25:28A rip saw.
25:29Rip saw.
25:29Yeah, I get it.
25:3156 to 44, Susie.
25:34Step forward.
25:36It's your origins of words, much-loved origins of words.
25:40Well, I think I might have told you about the wonderful historical thesaurus,
25:45which is an adjunct to the Oxford English Dictionary,
25:48and it's basically taking all the concepts and all the words from right across the centuries
25:53and giving us synonyms, not just from the present day, but also from historical times.
25:57And Oxford Dictionaries have collected lots of words gathered together in one particular theme,
26:04and chatterbox is one of the most productive ones.
26:07So we've been talking about gossipy people for a very, very long time.
26:11Gossip itself coming from God Sib.
26:14It was originally a godmother or a godparent who stood at the birth,
26:19literally attended the birth of a woman quite a long time ago,
26:23and it was then clearly thought to enjoy a good natter afterwards.
26:28And so God Sib became gossip and has the meaning we have today.
26:31But just a sample, there's Blatteroon, Chattermag, Clatterfart, Earbasher,
26:36Fliberti Jibber, which was one of the first meanings of that,
26:41Palavera, Bagpipe, Blabbera, et cetera, a whole host of synonyms for chatterbox.
26:45But actually the idea of talking is also behind quite a few everyday words in English too.
26:51So if you take a parlour, that looks back to medieval monasteries where silence was strictly enforced,
26:57but where one room was set aside for visits from the outside,
27:01where monks could go and chat to their relatives or their friends.
27:06This room was called parlour, coming from the French palais, meaning to speak or to talk.
27:11And by Chaucer's time, parlours had left not just monasteries,
27:16but also came to describe rooms in private dwellings where families would gather.
27:20And they were particularly important for funerals and weddings and feast days and that sort of thing.
27:24But that French palais goes back to the Greek parabole, which also gave us parable, of course.
27:33And that actually meant in Greek thrown together because it was an allegorical tale
27:38that was, if you like, thrown alongside the truth so that the truth would emerge through this sort of series
27:44of symbols.
27:45It's behind palaver as well, sort of idle chatter and parliament, of course.
27:50Parliament, the literal meaning of that is a talking shop.
27:52And finally parole, that was a promise by a prisoner of war originally to stand by his word,
28:00which was to honour, you know, the codes of conduct that had been prescribed to him.
28:05But words and chattering and talking are behind an awful lot of English words.
28:09We are a very chattery lot.
28:11Fantastic.
28:17Well done, Susie, as ever. Perfect.
28:2156 plays 44.
28:22And you're on 44.
28:24And it's Chris's letters game now.

29:34A six. Andy? Seven.
29:36Chris? Or an eight.
29:38Andy? Floater.
29:41And floater.
29:42Yes. Very good.
29:44What else have we got now? Helen?
29:46A few sevens. I think we found
29:48reflate. That's seven, isn't it?
29:51Yes. It's time from economics.
29:52It's all about expanding the economy.
29:54Frontal is also there.
29:56Lots of sevens.
29:57Thank you. All right.
29:59So, 56 to 51.
30:00My word, we're heading in the direction
30:03of something that could be crucial here.
30:05Chris on 56. Andy 51.
30:07And it's Andy's last letters game.
30:10A consonant, please, Rachel.

31:09Andy? Just a five. A five. Chris? Five. Andy? Mould. Both of you? Mould. Now then, Helen? We found mould,
31:22but also, at the last minute, diatom, which is six.
31:26Diatom. Yes, diatom. A term from biology, all about algae, planktonic algae, particularly, diatom, and also for six, there's mahout,
31:37a ride with an elephant. Oh, yeah. A mahout. A mahout. All right. So, Andy on 56, Chris on 61,
31:44and Chris, it's your last numbers game. One from the top and five small, please.
31:48Thank you, Chris. Last chance to avoid a crucial conundrum. These five little ones are ten, three, four, two, nine,
31:58and the big one, 100. And the target, 791.
32:03791.
32:33Yes, Chris? 791. Andy? 791. Thank you, Chris.
32:39Two times four times 100. 800. And take the nine. Yeah, nice and straightforward. 791. Andy?
32:47And slightly different way. I did ten minus two is eight. Yeah. Times the 100, and then minus the nine.
32:52Yeah. Perfect.
32:54There we go. Well done.
32:58So, 71 plays 66, which means only one thing, that we're now moving into the final round, and it's a
33:05crucial conundrum round.
33:07So, things on buzzers, let's roll that crucial countdown conundrum.
33:16Chris, soldering?
33:19Let's see whether you're right. Soldering.
33:24Soldering. Well done.
33:32Good competition.
33:34It was.
33:34Well done. Well done, Chris Sinclair. Andy, bad luck. You gave him a run for his money.
33:39I think you were a good player.
33:41You know, chasing him all the way.
33:42So, back to Barnsley, and your great job as a trading standards officer, keeping people in line,
33:49and not making false and exaggerated and cheating claims.
33:52That's correct, yeah.
33:53Good job, yeah.
33:54You take this goodie bag with you.
33:56Well done.
33:57And we shall see, Chris, we shall see you tomorrow.
33:59Well done.
33:59Good win.
34:00Good win, indeed. And we have to say goodbye to you now, Helen.
34:05You come back and see us again soon. It's always a pleasure.
34:07I will.
34:08And you're good with the game as well.
34:09And great stories too.
34:11Thank you very much. I'll have to think of some more stories for you for the next time.
34:14Indeed.
34:14But it's always really good fun. Thank you for having me.
34:16All right. We shall see you tomorrow, Susie.
34:18See you for my next.
34:18Of course we shall. All right. Excellent stuff. Two good players.
34:22Two very good players.
34:23We shall be seeing Chris Sinclair tomorrow.
34:25Indeed.
34:26Indeed. And I'll be seeing you and you all at home, same time.
34:29Same place. You'll be sure of it. A very good afternoon.
