00:15Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:18Now, I don't know whether you stumbled across the same article as I did quite recently,
00:21about an American bloke in Oregon who had a very lucky escape, actually.
00:26And what happened, apparently, Rachel, was that he climbed into a recycling bin full of cardboard and fell asleep.
00:33So the refuse truck pulled up.
00:36He was lifted up in this bin, put in, and gently crushed.
00:42I think it may have been the sound of his snapping leg that woke him up.
00:47I'm sorry, but apparently that was it.
00:50Suddenly, anyway, he shouted out and they stopped everything and he survived.
00:54But, my word, I almost refused to believe it.
00:57Would you believe it?
00:57Oh, boom, boom.
00:58I know, I know.
01:00But thinking about places that, you know, one slept in that are unusual.
01:04And I remember when I used to be sent across the Irish Sea,
01:08I used to save the money I'd been given by my loving mum and dad for a little cabin.
01:14I used to undo the tarpaulin on the lifeboat that was slung over the side,
01:19so a direct fall into the sea, and snuck in there and sleep overnight in there.
01:24Saved the cabin money.
01:26Did you ever find yourself waking up somewhere rather odd?
01:29I think it's a male thing.
01:30So many men I know do that.
01:32Well, my favourite story, my friend is half Japanese.
01:35He was in Japan.
01:35He missed the last tube home.
01:37He managed to go into a hotel that he wasn't staying at,
01:40and he woke up trouserless in a lift surrounded by Japanese security.
01:46And they led him off to the security room and showed him videos of him going into the lift,
01:50going onto the roof, taking his trousers off, going back into the lift and falling asleep.
01:54I've got plenty of stories like that about male friends and none about female friends.
01:58Because you mixed with very sober girls.
02:01Sensible, sensible girls.
02:03All right.
02:04Now, Rachel, we've got Andrew McLeod back yet again.
02:06And you remember on Friday, he completed his fourth good win,
02:09and now he's heading, hopefully, to become an octo-champ.
02:13Very high score on Friday, I think.
02:15122?
02:15Yeah.
02:16Yeah.
02:16Now then, you're joined, Andrew, by Rory McDonald,
02:20a trainee accountant from Harpenden.
02:22Welcome, Rory.
02:24Loves performing, plays guitar and the piano.
02:27Now then, apparently, you once found yourself in an Austrian village surrounded by cows.
02:33What was going on there?
02:34I did a coach trip to Oktoberfest Beer Festival in Munich a couple of years ago.
02:39We're staying in an Austrian village.
02:41We went out that evening, and after a few too many drinks,
02:44I'd lost the group and couldn't make my way back to the hotel.
02:47So when I got back in the morning, we'd miss the coach,
02:50and I'd spend the day in the village, but there's a cow festival going on,
02:54and I got to ride a horse, so it's still a good day.
02:56Very good.
02:57A cow festival.
02:58Everybody brought their favourite cow down from the mountain.
03:01Well, that's exactly it.
03:02They brought the cows down from the mountain.
03:04And they had big bells.
03:05They did have big bells, yeah.
03:07And you found yourself on a horse.
03:09You stay off the sauce, my boy.
03:11All right, let's have a big round of applause then for Rory and Andrew.
03:17APPLAUSE
03:19Very good.
03:20Good luck to you both.
03:21And over in the corner, Susie, of course, on this Monday,
03:24joined once again by the wonderful Brendan Cole,
03:26one of the original dancers on Strictly and still going strong.
03:30Still going strong.
03:31Myself and Anton.
03:31Yes.
03:32Very good.
03:33More from you later, but now we get on with the letters game.
03:35With you, Andrew.
03:37Hi, Rachel.
03:38Hi, Andrew.
03:39Can I have a consonant, please?
03:41Start the week with G.
03:43And another.
03:45M.
03:47And another.
03:49F.
03:50And a vowel.
03:52A.
03:53And another.
03:55I.
03:56And another.

04:45Seven.
04:45A seven.
04:46Rory?
04:47Just a six.
04:48And your six?
04:49Framed.
04:50Now then, Andrew.
04:52Figured.
04:53So, figured.
04:54What do you think about that?
04:55Yeah, absolutely fine.
04:56Can you imagine?
04:57What do you think about that?
04:57Susie can do one better.
04:58She's found an eight.
04:59She's feeling very argumentative.
05:00She's arguified.
05:02Yes.
05:02A little agitated today.
05:03Is that what it means?
05:04Yes.
05:05To arguefy is a factful way of saying to argue.
05:08So, a bit like speechify.
05:09I'm going to use that.
05:10Good.
05:10All right.
05:11Well done.
05:12Seven points to Andrew and now Rory.
05:14Your first letters game.
05:16Off you go.
05:17Hi, Rachel.

08:05Yeah, 10 minus 8 is a 2.
08:08Plus the 100 is 102 times 6.
08:10Same way, yep.
08:12There we go.
08:14Well done.
08:17So nothing in it yet.
08:19It's 35 to 28 as we turn to our first Tea Time teaser, which is Dave Waugh.

08:30Dave Waugh, a look of astonishment when the occasion got to him.
08:52Welcome back.
08:53Welcome back.
08:53I left you with the clue.
08:54Dave Waugh, a look of astonishment when the occasion got to him.
08:58And the answer is overawed.
09:02Overawed.
09:02Now, don't be overawed at the thought of becoming a contestant on Countdown.

10:45Any more pouncers over there?
10:47Well, we were hoping to be, as in my cats are good pouncers,
10:51but it's not in the dictionary pouncer, I'm afraid.
10:54Really?
10:55So I have to just allow, sorry.
10:56What can we have?
10:58For a seven, a persona.
11:01Yep.
11:01Persona, yep.
11:02Anything else, Susie?
11:03No, that was the best we could do.
11:04We were looking at pouncers.
11:05It's bad luck.
11:06No pouncers.
11:07All right.

14:12So straighten it out for us, Rachel.
14:14Well, if you'd have stopped at 75 minus 2, 73.

14:22You get 8-7-6.
14:23There we go. Well done.
14:24Well done, Rachel.
14:28So scores, 41 to 28.
14:30As we turn to Brendon.
14:32Well, this one is a little censored for you.
14:35A few of us on Strictly, we do our own thing after the runners-up.
14:39I do a theatre tour that goes around the country.
14:41And we get a bit carried away with ourselves.
14:44So one particular day, we were on our coach, 22 of us, 14 musicians, 8 dancers on the coach.
14:48And in the coach, in the front of the coach, we'd found some, let's say, some risky magazines.
14:53There was almost a coach load.
14:54So on this particular show, we were out doing a lovely fox shot.
14:59Now, I'm talking a really beautiful, old school, I think it was a bit of Nat King Cole, was the
15:03band we're playing, doing this beautiful fox shot.
15:04Now, one of the girls, Nicole Cutler, do you remember Nicole Cutler from Strictly Come Dancing a few years back?
15:10And what she'd done is she'd taken some of the pictures out of the magazines.
15:13And in the, this is before the iPads, now the musicians use iPads, but before that we had sheet music.
15:18Put some pictures within the sheet music.
15:20As the musicians turned the page on their, they're playing the horns, they're playing the piano.
15:25One by one, they all just started sniggering and trying to play.
15:29And when I was trying to do this, the whole band behind us were in stitches, including my MD, Mr.
15:34Barry Robinson, who's very serious about his job.
15:36A lovely fellow, but very serious about his music.
15:38And I could see him just literally wetting himself on the, on the piano.
15:42And it was one of the funniest things I've ever experienced amongst the beautiful and the calm, serene, uh, fox
15:47shot.
15:48So, uh, good fun.
15:51Well done, Brandon.
15:54Lovely stuff.
15:55Well done, Brandon.
15:56So, 41 plays 28.
15:57And Andrew, it's a letters game for you.
16:01Can I have our consonant, please?
16:02Thank you, Andrew.
16:04X.

17:08And your seven?
17:09Dilutes.
17:10Thank you, Andrew.
17:12Lordiest?
17:14Lordiest.
17:15Yeah.
17:19Not there, I'm afraid.
17:21Lordliest, but not lordiest.
17:23Sorry.
17:24I think that was a gamble.
17:26Did you feel it was a gamble?
17:27Oh, yeah.
17:28All right.
17:30So, Brendan and Susie?
17:32Well, dilutes, yes, seven.
17:34Got another good seven.
17:35And, again, one that I didn't know the mean to.
17:39Luxated, is that how you pronounce it?
17:40Yes, that is exactly right.
17:43And to luxate is actually to dislocate, so not something you want.
17:46But, yeah, luxation.
17:48But dislocation of joints.
17:51All right.
17:51Now then, only six, isn't it?

19:00And another vowel.
19:01And another vowel.
19:01We'll just pass over.
19:01Yes, Rory?
19:03A six.
19:04A six and?
19:05I'll stick with seven.
19:07Thank you, Rory.
19:08A shaver.
19:09Now then, Andrew.
19:11Shooter?
19:12Yep.
19:13Absolutely fine.
19:15Very good.
19:16What have we got in the corner?
19:18Oh, very good.
19:19A nice eight.
19:20Overshot.
19:21Yeah.
19:23Overshot.
19:24Well done.
19:27Overshot.
19:28Susie, anything else?
19:29No, I could see Andrew kicking yourself.
19:31For that one.
19:32But it is in the dictionary.
19:33Yep.
19:34All right.
19:35So, Andrew on 48.
19:36Rory on 35.
19:37And now it's Andrew's numbers game.
19:39Andrew.
19:40Too large, four small, please.
19:42Your favourite.
19:42Thank you, Andrew.
19:43Two from the top pro and four of the others.
19:45And this time, they are three, nine, ten, seven.
19:50And the big one, 75 and 50.
19:53And the target, oh, 300.
19:56Three, zero, zero.
20:04Three, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.
20:30Andrew.
20:31300.
20:31Thank you, Rory.
20:32300.
20:33Let's get it over with Andrew.
20:35Nine minus three is six.
20:37Yeah.
20:37Times 50.
20:38Yeah.
20:39300.
20:40And Rory.
20:41I did 10 minus seven is three plus the three times the 50.
20:44Yeah.
20:44There we go.
20:45So, 58 plays 45.
20:47Same difference as we turn to our second tea time teaser, which is curl sofa.
20:53And the glue.
20:54You'd definitely want to curl up on the sofa if you had this.
20:57You'd definitely want to curl up on the sofa if you had this.
21:17Welcome back.
21:17I left with a clue.
21:18You'd definitely want to curl up on the sofa if you had this.
21:22And the answer is scrofula, which presumably makes you scrofulous, does it?
21:29What is scrofula exactly?
21:31It's famously suffered by Samuel Johnson, in fact, who went to see the Queen.
21:34So, it was called the King's Evil, and it was thought that the monarch could cure it.
21:38It is a form of disease with glandular swelling.
21:41So, it's probably a form of tuberculosis that was quite common in the 19th century.
21:46Not so now, luckily.
21:49Scrofula.
21:49There we go.
21:5058 plays 45.
21:52Andrew in the lead, and it's Rory's letters game.
21:55Consonant, please.
21:56Thank you, Rory.
21:57P.
21:58And another one.
22:00W.
22:02And another one.
22:04D.
22:05And a vowel.
22:07I.
22:08And another vowel.
22:10E.
22:11And another vowel.
22:14U.
22:14A consonant.
22:16L.
22:18Another consonant.
22:20N.
22:22And a vowel.
22:24And lastly.
22:25A.
22:27Count, count.
22:59Rory.
23:00A six.
23:01A six.
23:02Andrew.
23:02Six.
23:03Roaring.
23:04Dinoil.
23:05And?
23:06Wailed.

25:06don't even know what it means an orange yellow variety of thorite which is a neosilicate that's
25:12chemical term and it's a substance that crystallizes um uh and obviously a rather
25:17beautiful color orangeite there we go thank you all right 71 to 51 20 points in it and now susie
25:25we're back with you for your origins of words what have you got for us today well on friday i
25:30was
25:30talking about the origin of screaming blue murder and talking about how blue pops up all over the
25:35place in english idioms and there's another one that i'm often asked about and that's blue stocking
25:40if you talk about a woman being a blue stocking they are um intellectual but slightly uh old
25:46fashioned perhaps slightly staid it's not exactly a full-on compliment but how did it come about
25:52the strange beginning of it really is that it applied not to a woman but to a man and that
25:57man
25:58was benjamin stilling feet great name he was a botanist translator and a publisher and he was
26:05linked with a group that held some of the best soirees in london back in the 1750s these groups
26:13were independently minded women who had had enough of card playing and bridge playing and the sort of
26:20small talk if you like of normal london parties and so they decided to set up their own uh soirees
26:26their own evenings uh based on the the parisian salons which were all the rage in those days and
26:32they would invite guests to come along and they would have quite serious discussions whether about
26:36the meaning of life uh other matters of philosophy rather than sort of fashion and typical uh womanly
26:42uh subjects or subjects that were thought to be beloved of women and one of the leading lights
26:48of this group was a lady called mrs elizabeth montagu she was very powerful she was very rich
26:53and she invited luminaries from right across uh the um the subject areas if you like of london at this
27:01time so samuel johnson came david garrick uh sir joshua reynolds who was just joshua uh in those days
27:07uh lots and lots of people lord littleton so it was it was sort of quite uh well presided over
27:13if you
27:13like by some of the the best minds in london at the time back to benjamin stillingfeet he was as
27:19i say
27:19a learned botanist he was invited to attend uh by one of the ladies in this group but he declined
27:25because he didn't have the right wear the right attire he thought he couldn't afford to go out
27:31and get the black silk stockings which was the traditional wear of these soirees
27:36uh and according to fanny bernie who told the story later uh the lady who's asked him mrs basie
27:42said come as you are is absolutely fine she was liberal minded he turned up wearing his blue
27:48worsted stockings which were the only ones that he could afford and so from then on the uh the group
27:53became known as the blue stockings and because their subjects were thought to be slightly snooty if
27:58you like and uh you know not really in keeping with the fashion of london it turned into a slightly
28:04derogatory epithet but it was all down to benjamin stillingfeet that blue stocking has survived to
28:09this day very good well done very good thank you susie thank you so 71 to 51 and rory
