00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:33Now, here is the fact that will delight my old friend Greg Georgeson,
00:37a man with a wonderful voice who, of course, does a lot of audiobooks
00:41because apparently there's a huge surge in the sale of audiobooks,
00:47apparently up 148% in sales over the last five years.
00:52Huge, huge surge.
00:54And young people, young people between the ages of 18 and 34
00:58are accounting for quite a lot of that growth.
01:01Now, I've got a couple, but I still like a book.
01:05I still like a book.
01:06So I wouldn't buy an audiobook in place of a book other than for my car.
01:11How about you?
01:11I quite like them, actually.
01:13They need to do more of them.
01:14I'm glad they're becoming more popular.
01:15Because when you're doing something else where you can't actually watch the screen
01:18or look at a book, like if you're cooking or if you're on a, you know,
01:21cycling machine or tidying up or something like that
01:24where you can just shove your earphones in and go, quite interesting.
01:28It's true.
01:28I think they originally started way back for people whose eyesight was poor
01:33or, indeed, they were blind and they couldn't read.
01:35Now, of course, it's, as you say, gives you the ability to do more than one thing at once.
01:41It's quite nice when you've got the author's voice as well.
01:43I know Susie said she spent 20 hours in a voiceover studio doing her book.
01:47So, yeah, getting it straight from the horse's mouth.
01:49Yeah, exactly.
01:51Mick Grawick, welcome back.
01:53Welcome back from Church Langley in Essex.
01:56Lifelong Spurs fan, two good wins under your belt.
01:59And you're joined today by Rick and Steve, an account manager from Aylesbury.
02:03Bit of a film buff.
02:05He loves his Pulp Fiction.
02:06Your list is what?
02:08Pulp Fiction.
02:09Shawshank.
02:10Shawshank Redemption and?
02:12Assault on Precinct 13.
02:14Now, there's a very interesting fact here that I think you ought to tell a nation about.
02:18And that is that you asked your wife to marry you before you had even been on a date.
02:23What was going on here, Ben?
02:25Well, we'd worked together for 18 months.
02:28And I was giving her a lift home.
02:30We were discussing moving away from our parents anyway.
02:33Yes.
02:33And we basically married our fortunes together.
02:36I just popped the question.
02:38There and then?
02:39There and then.
02:40Never been on a date?
02:41No.
02:42Obviously, we liked each other, but...
02:44Oh, right.
02:44That was 30 years ago.
02:46Well, it worked.
02:46Well, good for you.
02:47Well done.
02:48Well done.
02:48So, let's have a big round of applause for Mick Grawick and Rick Anstey.
02:56And also, of course, please welcome to Dictionary Corner the ever-wonderful Susie Dent.
03:01Joined once again, and for the last time, until he comes back again, that wonderful comedian and author whose book,
03:09Parsnips Buttered.
03:11Have you put this on audiobooks?
03:12Yes, there's an audiobook of it as well, yeah.
03:14Is that normally the way now?
03:16Because, Susie, you're on audiobooks.
03:18You can download them, you see, from online.
03:21So, it's not just the physical CDs that you get.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Brilliant stuff.
03:25I mean, I'll come round and read the book to you if you want me to.
03:27I'd like that very much.
03:28Or just do it down the phone.
03:30I'll do it down the phone, Nick.
03:32Yeah, yeah.

06:35And Joe?
06:36We've got a one-seven, which is joyride.
06:40Yeah, good one word.
06:41Very good, yes.
06:43Take a joyride.
06:44But a fast and dangerous ride, usually in a stolen vehicle.
06:48Exactly.
06:48Not to be recommended.
06:49On a drone, perhaps.
06:51All right.
06:51All right, 13 points apiece, and it's Mick's numbers game.
06:56Mick, can I have one large and five small, please, Rachel?
06:59Thank you, Mick.
06:59One from the top and five little ones.
07:02And the first numbers game of the day is six.

07:51Rick?
07:51I got 6, 8, 6.
07:54Just one away.
07:55Yeah.
07:56So, Rick.
07:57Okay.
07:57I did 6 plus 8.
07:59It's 14.
07:596 plus 8, 14.
08:0114 times 50.
08:03700.
08:04And then I added up 7, 1, and 6 for another 14.
08:077, 1, and 6.
08:08Yep.
08:09And you are one away.
08:11Well done.
08:12Near, but not quite perfect.
08:14How perfect can you be?
08:16You can be perfect if you start the same way with 6 plus 8 for your 14, but then take
08:22one
08:23away from 50 for 49, times those together for 686, and then you have a 7 minus the other
08:296 for your 1 to take away 685.
08:31Oh, well done.
08:32Well done, Rick.
08:34Well done.
08:35So, Mick on 13, Rick on 20, as we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Grand Eyes.
08:42And the clue Grand Eyes, so you volunteer to perform these at the service.
08:47Grand Eyes, so you volunteer to perform these at the service.
09:09Grand Eyes, so you volunteer to perform these at the service, to perform the readings.

09:19Now, Rick on 20, Mick on 13, and it's Rick's letters game.
09:24Start with a vowel, please.

10:24Mick?
10:24I think I've got a seven.
10:26Rick?
10:27Tanker.
10:29And Mick?
10:30Outtake.
10:32Or, I was going to say, the two T's together would seem a bit odd, so they've kept the hyphen
10:37in.
10:37They haven't with a lot of out words, Mick, but they have in that one, I'm afraid.
10:41Otherwise, it might look a bit Japanese, I think.
10:43Sorry.
10:44I would have put money on that.
10:46Yeah.
10:46But I would have lost.
10:47Joe?
10:48There are a couple of out words.
10:50There's outrank and outrake.
10:53Yes, nothing to do with a garden rake.
10:55It is a noun, actually.
10:57It's an extensive open pasture, or a path leading to a pasture from enclosed fields.
11:03That is an outrake.
11:04But if you raked better than someone else, you would say you outrake them.
11:09Yes, you could say.
11:10It's just not in the dictionary.
11:11Yeah.
11:12Well, it should be.
11:13Have a word.
11:15That's sort of speed raking.
11:17Speed raking.
11:18Yeah.
11:1826 points to Mick's 13.
11:21Rick in the lead, and it's Mick's letters game.

12:19Now it's the same.
12:19It's the same.
12:20It's the same.
12:20It's the same.

12:39Whining.
12:40Stop your whining.
12:42There's another seven version for seven.
12:45And then there's words for eight.
12:48Overwinds.
12:50Yes, slightly odd and slightly old, rooted in Old English,
12:54which means to overcome or to conquer or vanquish.
12:57To overwin.
12:57Thank you very much.
12:59Indeed, 33 plays 13.
13:01And now, Rick, it's your numbers game.
13:04Two large, please, and four from anywhere.
13:07You can indeed.
13:08Two large ones and four little ones.
13:11And these numbers are ten, two, four, nine.
13:17And the big ones, one hundred and twenty-five.
13:21And the target, seven hundred and seventy-six.
13:23Seven, seven, six.
13:25One hundred and seventy-six.
13:26One hundred so that makes this place more…

14:11Yeah, nicely done.
14:13Well done.
14:14Well done.
14:17Well done there, Mick.
14:18Closing the gap.
14:19Yeah, only ten points in it.
14:21As we turn to Joe Lysett.
14:23Now then, Joe, what's up?
14:25What's up?
14:25I'll tell you what's up, Nick.
14:28I've brought along some things I've brought on holidays.
14:30A friend of mine has a thing called the Shelf of Shame,
14:32and the idea is to buy the worst bit of tat you can find
14:36in the gift shop at the place that you're at.
14:39So I've brought some of my favourites along.
14:41This I got in Prague.
14:43Now, I love art, and I also love eggs.
14:49So why wouldn't I love Mona Lisa on an egg?
14:52LAUGHTER
14:54When I was in Munich, I found this,
14:57which just solves an age-old problem.
14:59If you're stranded at sea and you're trying to get attention
15:03whilst also opening a bottle,
15:06this whistle bottle opener with Germany written on it.
15:10WHISTLE BLOWS
15:11Very helpful.
15:12Jerry!
15:13This, I literally just came back from Berlin.
15:15In Berlin, I found this.
15:16It's a lovely thing to sort of say,
15:17oh, I wish you were here.
15:18Here is a headless, limbless woman with some sweets in her belly.
15:23LAUGHTER
15:24Extraordinary.
15:25So this is the absolute weirdest thing I've ever found,
15:27and I think it's the weirdest thing that exists in the universe.
15:30Imagine, if you will,
15:33a baby dressed as a frog holding a wasp.
15:37LAUGHTER
15:38Right?
15:40Let's have a look at this.
15:41Imagine no more, it exists!
15:43No!
15:45Right?
15:47Now, where is the logic?
15:48This I got in Malaga,
15:50and it sings and dances.
15:52Oh, please.
15:52Right, listen to the lyrics to this.
16:00Right.
16:02Don't want you for the weekend.
16:05Don't want you for a night.
16:07Don't want you for a night.
16:09I'm only interested.
16:11I'm only interested.
16:12Can't have you for life.
16:13If I can have you for life.
16:16APPLAUSE
16:20So there's ten points in it then.
16:2233 to 23.
16:23Rick in the lead at the moment,
16:25and it's Mick's letters game.
16:26Mick.
16:27Can I have a consonant, please?
16:28Thank you, Mick.
16:29Q.
16:31And another one.

19:12Excellent. What else? Yes. Joe. There's a couple of eights. Yes. Annato's, which Susie found. I have no idea what
19:20that is.
19:20A. Annato is an orange-red dye obtained from a tropical fruit. But the plural can be attached to the
19:30tropical American tree that produces this dye.
19:33So they are annato's, the trees that give you this dye in food colourants. And then there's a sonatina. I
19:40don't know what that means either.
19:41Is that to do with a. A short sonata. Okay, yeah. Yes. A sonatina. A little sonatina. Or the child
19:46of Tina. Yes.
19:50Thank you. And now, Mick, it's your numbers game. One large and five small, please.
19:55Thank you, Mick. One large one. Five little ones. And at this time, your numbers are five, three, nine, six,
20:04seven, and 25. And this target, 270.

20:48Seven plus three is ten. Seven plus three, ten.
20:51And six plus five is 11.
20:53Yep.
20:55What have I done here?
20:5711 minus nine.
21:00Minus nine. There we go.
21:0225 plus two.
21:04So 27.
21:05Times ten.

21:17Plus 25 is 27.
21:1927 again.
21:20Seven minus six is one.
21:22Yep.
21:22Add it to the nine to make ten.
21:24Lovely.

21:25That will do the job.
21:27Well done.

25:04What have we got in the corner, I wonder?
25:06Susie and Joe?
25:07Nothing better than that, unfortunately.
25:09Exactly those two?
25:10Exactly those two.
25:11Well done.
25:12All right.
25:13So, 67 now to Rick.
25:15Mick on 50, as we turn to Susie for her wonderful origins of words.
25:21Susie?
25:22Well, a couple of emails from our wonderful viewers, and I know I keep saying this, but
25:27thank you very, very much for all the emails and letters that come my way, because they're
25:31very gratefully received.
25:33The first one comes from Henry Adjete.
25:36I hope I pronounced that right.
25:38He says, I've been trying to find the origin and why we use the expression, a different
25:41kettle of fish.
25:43Hmm.
25:44Its origin is in the Scottish borders, where it had very, very literal beginnings.
25:50It was common for families and friends to spend high days and holidays, feasting, having
25:56fun, and picnics on the bank of the river.
26:00And we think of a kettle really as a small enclosed container for boiling water these days,
26:04but it was actually any large vessel that was used to boil things in.
26:09In fact, this is as early as the late 1700s.
26:13And there's one description of this custom in a book or an account by Thomas Newt in
26:19his tour of England and Scotland.
26:20And he says, it's customary for the gentlemen who live near the Tweed to entertain their
26:24neighbours and friends with a fête champetre, which they call a kettle of fish.
26:29A fire is kindled and live salmon thrown into boiling kettles.
26:33So not very nice for the salmon.
26:36Its first meaning, actually, when it became a bit more generalised, was a mess or a muddle,
26:41perhaps because of the mess of bones, et cetera, and skin that was left in the kettles afterwards.
26:46And we still retain that meaning, don't we, of a sort of a bit of a mess.
26:49As you say, that's a fine kettle of fish.
26:51But then we also talk about something being a different kettle of fish.
26:54And perhaps the simple idea was that one outing near the banks of the river is very different
26:58to another.
26:59And so the idea of variation came in.
27:02A bit of a mystery, that last leap of meaning, as so often in English.
27:06My second email, actually, it was an oral request from Joe next to me, asked about birthday
27:11suits.
27:12We're talking about birthday suits.
27:14Don't ask why I was asking.
27:18Birthday suits, obviously, meaning today that you have nothing on, but actually very literal
27:22beginnings again, because a birthday suit was something that you once wore for the king's
27:26birthday.
27:26So it was your absolute best.
27:28It was your Sunday best, if you like, that you got out your finery to celebrate the monarch's
27:33birthday.
27:34So the sort of shift to being in the buff, that buff referring to the colour of buffalo
27:39skin originally, came a bit later.
27:41But yes, it once had very regal beginnings.
27:43Oh, thanks.
27:44There you go.
27:44Well done, Susie.
27:47Very good.
27:49All right.
27:5067 to 50.
