00:18Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:33On the day 80 years ago, back in 1936, that Pinewood Studios was officially opened.
00:39Of course, Pinewood, one of the great British studios, along with Elstree, I guess, located in Buckinghamshire.
00:45TV shows were shot there, but also some of the massive feature films over the years.
00:50On the small screen, extras with Ricky Gervais, which I love.
00:53So, so funny.
00:54And EastEnders, from time to time.
00:56But the big ones, how about Oliver Twist, Bugsy Malone, Bang Bang, The Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter and The
01:03Deathly Hallows.
01:05And, of course, many, many Bond films, because I think they've got the big tank there.
01:09But extraordinary place, 80 years old.
01:12Have you ever been to a real film set?
01:15I mean, we work in studios.
01:16Yeah.
01:17Have you ever been to a big film set?
01:18Closest I got was when I did an advert with Kevin Bacon.
01:21Oh, yeah.
01:21And then I got taken to L.A. and there was the studio and had my own Winnebago.
01:25It's quite the experience.
01:26Oh, come on.
01:27And then they have a stand-in for me and a stand-in for Kevin.
01:30So, a blonde girl for me and a guy that looked a bit like Kevin for him, just to get
01:34the camera shots.
01:35Perfect.
01:35So, I just had to stand there and we didn't have to do any of that.
01:38That's the L.A. life.
01:39That's L.A.
01:40That's La La Land.
01:42My own little caravan.
01:43That was great.
01:43All right.
01:44Now then, Rich, we've got Chris Sinclair back, who had to endure two crucial conundrums to come out a winner
01:51yesterday, self-employed builder from Soundersted, and a specialist at taking it to the wire.
01:56That's for sure.
01:57That's for sure.
01:57That was quite tense.
01:59It was a tough test.
02:00You came in, I think, at 102, didn't you?
02:02Yeah.
02:03Brilliant.
02:03Well done.
02:04Now, you're up against Lucy Westwood.
02:06Now, Lucy is a domestic violence advisor working for the charity Women's Aid and comes, hails from Kidderminster.
02:14Now, how does that work now?
02:16So, somebody, they get on the phone to you.
02:18They get on the phone to Women's Aid.
02:19Is that it?
02:20Exactly.
02:20We've got a national helpline and they come through to kind of our West Mercia borough area.
02:25Yeah.
02:26And we'll also receive referrals from the police and children's services.
02:29So, we kind of all collate our resources and just support victims.
02:35Okay.
02:36Protecting women against domestic violence.
02:38And men, and also children as well.
02:40Really?
02:41Yeah.
02:41All right.
02:42You're a gardener and you've created a fairy garden for your daughter, Chloe.
02:46Yes.
02:47She's only six months old at the moment, so she's not tolling around it quite yet, but next year's project
02:53to get that well underway.
02:55All right.
02:56Anyway, let's have a big round with Lucy Westwood.
02:59APPLAUSE

06:26You can have the mapani tree, which you can spell with an I at the end.

08:54Puncheon.
08:54Yes, puncheon.
08:56A short post, especially one used for supporting the roof in a coal mine.
09:01Or it can be actually another term for a punch, so a machine that sort of punches holes.

10:34Sorry.
10:35Good luck.
10:36Sorry.
10:37Sounded a bit of a gamble to me.

12:16Trial. Yes. All right, thank you, Pam.
12:18And? There's a seven there, Nick.
12:20Triolette, which is a poem of eight lines,
12:24and the first line is repeated every three lines.
12:27So, triolette.
12:30Pam? Have you got one of those in your book?
12:33No. If I claimed to be a poet, I should have known that, shouldn't I?
12:37You were just keeping it quiet.
12:40I know. I'm afraid not.
12:42There we go. 27 plays. 32. Lucy on 32.

13:41Thank you, Lucy.
13:4310 divided by 5 is 2.
13:46Yep.
13:47Add it on to the 75.
13:4877.
13:49And times by 6.
13:51Perfect.
13:51462.
13:52And Chris?
13:53Yep, same way.
13:55There we go.
13:56Well done.
14:01So, Lucy maintaining her lead.
14:0342 to Chris is 37.
14:05As we turn to Pam over there in dictionary corner, perhaps it's poetry corner.
14:11What have you got for us, Pam?
14:12Well, I've got a poem asking people not to kiss me because I get very worried about the whole business
14:17of people coming along and kissing me.
14:20So, I want to ask a favour of the friends that I might meet.
14:25To all of my acquaintances who pass me in the street, give me a cheery wave.
14:30Hello, how are you?
14:33Hello, how are you?
14:33Bye.
14:34So long.
14:35But don't kiss me.
14:36Oh, don't kiss me because I always get it wrong.
14:39I do not want to do it.
14:41I would rather pass you by.
14:43I miss you get a smacker on the ear or in the eye.
14:47I'm standing on the pavement thinking, blast, damnation, heck.
14:53He went the other way and I have kissed him on the neck.
14:56Oh, I find it so embarrassing.
14:58It makes my knuckles clench.
15:00It's a very dodgy habit we've imported from the French.
15:03What's wrong with, oh, good morning or a handshake, if you must, a lovely smile of welcome or, all right,
15:10a smile of lust.
15:12But I do not want to kiss you.
15:14I'm sure you're very nice, but I find it so confusing.
15:17Is it once or is it twice?
15:19I am filled with apprehension and a feeling close to fright.
15:24Who leans forward first?
15:26Is it the left cheek first or right?
15:29And I feel this strange awareness as we stand around and speak.
15:33That there's a disconcerting trace of your saliva on my cheek.
15:39So don't kiss me.
15:41Oh, don't kiss me.
15:42Say, enchanté, ciao, good health.
15:45But I'm telling you, don't kiss me.
15:47Keep your choppers to yourself.
15:49Don't kiss me.
15:51I implore you, for I cannot stand the strain.
15:54I seldom kiss my husband and you don't hear him complain.
15:58So au revoir, au revoir, au revoir.
16:00Just tell me that you'll miss me.
16:02But please, if we should meet again, don't pucker up.
16:08Don't kiss me.
16:19Embarrassing me now, because the first time, the first thing I did when I saw it this morning
16:23was to give you a kiss on my feet.
16:25And you must have hated it.
16:27No, I didn't hate it.
16:28I didn't hate it.
16:29I never know how many times you're supposed to do it.
16:32That's all.
16:33We did it twice.
16:34We did it twice.
16:3742 to 37.
16:39Lucy in the lead, and it's Chris's letters game.
16:42Start with a consonant again, please, Rachel.

25:46Yes, it is.
25:47Damp and humid.
25:48Well done, yeah.
25:49Yes.
25:49Humid.
25:50All right.
25:5177 to 47.
25:53Susie, your wonderful origins of words.
25:56Thanks, Nick.
25:56Well, I'm going to talk about arms today.
25:59And I'm going to start with a word that seems to have a totally random connection with arms.
26:04And that's pretzels.
26:05If you like those salty snacks that you find imported from America with their knotted shape.
26:11They were introduced into the English-speaking world by German immigrants.
26:15This is around the 1870s.
26:17In fact, you can still find, if you go right up to the Upper East Side in New York City,
26:24a fantastic German bakery is doing the most delicious pretzels.
26:27So it's very much part of the Germanic tradition.
26:30But it was first recorded in English in Noah Webster's American Dictionary.
26:34But the pretzel, by then, had been around for many, many centuries.
26:38But going back further still, a similar-shaped snack was available in Italy, too.
26:44And a bracciotella was a ring-shaped bun, sort of quite similar in shape, I suppose, to the pretzel, with
26:51this sort of knot going on.
26:53And this, in turn, goes back to a word used by the Romans, which was brachiatus, meaning having branches like
27:00arms.
27:01So it seemed that the pretzel was actually so named because of the similarity between its knot shape and a
27:06pair of folded arms.
27:09That sort of idea of arms and the Latin brachiatus is actually behind other words as well.
27:15So a bracelet, brace itself, a bracelet was a little armlet, if you like.
27:21Brassies, or bras, also go back to suits of armour, believe this or not, and protection for the arms.
27:27So there were arms in both senses.
27:29And the idea of going to arms can be found in our modern alarm clock, because that goes back to
27:34an Italian alarme,
27:36which was a warning given to soldiers that there was an imminent attack, and be ready for action.
27:41Fantastic.
27:46Isn't she wonderful?
27:47Yes, she is.
27:49I love it.
27:5077 plays, 47.

29:10Oh, Chris.

29:15I'm so sorry.
29:16And in the corner, Pam?
29:17We've come over very theatrical over here because we have come up with proscenia.
29:22As in the proscenia march?
29:24Yes, indeed.
29:25Yes.
29:26Excellent.
29:26Plural of proscenium, the part of the theatre stage in front of the curtain.
29:31So, yeah, that would take us to nine.
29:33Whoa.
29:34Very good.
29:37Very good.
29:38We'll be going to the final letters game.

30:56Six.
30:57Chris?
30:58Goatee.
30:59Now then, Lucy.
31:00Legate.
31:02Legate.
31:03Yes, both absolutely fine.
31:06Goatee was a double E and then legate, yes.
31:08Absolutely fine.
31:10And in the corner, Susie, Pam?
31:13Yes, we've got the rather nice zealot.
31:16Oh, the zealot.
31:17Yeah, a zealot.
31:18I like that word, which is six.
31:20Yes.
31:21And there is a seven, a gazette.
31:24A gazette.
31:25I'm always slightly fearful of zealots.
31:28Yeah, so a bit scary, aren't they?
31:29Well, they don't have too much discretion on anything, do they?
31:31They just go for it, you know.
31:33Zealots.
31:34Yeah.
31:35Not sure about them at all.
31:36Ninety plays, fifty-three.
31:38And Lucy?
31:40Numbers game.
31:41Two large plays, Rachel.
31:42Thank you, Lucy.
31:42Two from the top and four little ones.

32:32Thank you, Chris.
32:331-1-4.
32:34Yep.
32:34Lucy.
32:36I did 50 plus 7.
32:3950 plus 7, 57.
32:41And then 10 divided by 10 is 1.
32:44Add the other 1.
32:45Add the other 1.
32:46And then times them.
32:47Perfect.
32:471-1-4.
32:48Yes, Chris.
32:50Yep, same way.
32:51There we go.
