00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34I have an extraordinary story recently.
00:37It came out of the Philippines.
00:39It involved a fisherman who struggled and strained and dragged onto his boat.
00:43This enormous thing.
00:44It weighed 32 kilograms.
00:48And he sort of looked at it.
00:49He wasn't altogether sure what it was.
00:50He stuffed it underneath the bed.
00:52Had it been a pearl, it was so enormous,
00:55apparently it would have been worth 75 million pounds.
00:57Anyway, he popped it underneath the bed.
01:00And then dragged it out one ten years later.
01:03And gave it to the local museum.
01:06Local city hall, actually, to put it on display.
01:08It turned out it was a pearl.
01:10Very extraordinary.
01:11So there it is, the city hall.
01:13If you fancy, you know...
01:16Let me just tell you, it's 67 centimetres long.
01:19Extraordinary.
01:19What could you do with a 67 centimetre pearl?
01:22Good question.
01:23You give it to the local city hall.
01:25But who would have 75 million pound knocking around just in case that ever was on sale?
01:30Well, actually, Rachel, no, come on.
01:33There are nutters out there.
01:35Who, in order to get the oldest, biggest...
01:39We'll pay.
01:40There's so much sort of dodgy money floating around the world these days.
01:44And to own the biggest pearl the world has ever seen.
01:47Somebody would do it just to have it, I think.
01:49Oh, OK.
01:49Fair enough.
01:50Now then.
01:51Rachel, we've got Doug Roberts back.
01:53Doug, of course, is the child's entertainer from Somting in Worthing.
01:58Welcome back, Doug.
01:59And you beat Amber, smashing player.
02:02She was a very good player.
02:03But you got there.
02:04Well done.
02:05And you're up against Kevin Stokes.
02:07Welcome, Kevin.
02:08Hello, Nick.
02:10From Portsmouth.
02:11Runs a media production company.
02:13This is sort of films and videos?
02:16Yes, it's corporate sales conferences, promotional videos, award ceremonies, that sort of thing.
02:21That's good fun.
02:22Fast-moving world.
02:23Yeah, it's a great world, yeah.
02:25And also, you like a bit of a challenge.
02:26You abselled down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
02:30Good for charity.
02:31I did, yes.
02:32I did it for the motor neurone disease charity.
02:35Good man.
02:35All right.
02:36300 feet.
02:37Whoa.
02:38And it took nine minutes.
02:39Did it?
02:40Yeah.
02:40I'm surprised it didn't take short.
02:41You're quite a big, heavy fellow.
02:42But there we are.
02:44Now then, let's have a big round of applause then for Kevin and Doug Roberts.
02:54And over in the corner then.
02:56And, of course, Susie Dent and lawyer, TV personality, historian, classicist, my good friend, Margaret Manford.
03:03Welcome back, Margaret.
03:05Welcome back.
03:06Now then, Doug Roberts.
03:08Let's have a letters game out of you.
03:10OK.

04:31Oh, I'm really sorry.
04:34Bad luck.
04:34Sorry.
04:35Bad luck indeed.
04:35So it's a good start for Kevin there.
04:37Now, in the corner, Margaret and Susie,
04:40what have you dredged out of that?
04:43Well, there's unpriced.
04:45Is that a word?
04:46It is.
04:47That's where it seems very unfair.
04:48It does.
04:49Yes, unpriced is there.
04:51That would give you an eight.
04:53A pounder for seven, otherwise.
04:55And a pounder.
04:56Yeah.
04:57OK, thank you, thank you.
04:58Well, now, Margaret, and it's Kevin's letters game.

09:09And the answer is flea wort.
09:14What is flea wort, Susie?
09:16It's a Eurasian plant, and it looks a bit like ragwort, and it's related to ragwort, ragwort, and it's reputed
09:23to drive away fleas.

13:56Well done.
13:58Neatly done.
14:00Propels you into a lead.
14:0229 to where Kevin's 18 as we turn to Margaret.
14:05Margaret, yesterday we were up on Hadrian's Wall.
14:10And then you suddenly decided to go all Arctic.
14:14What was that about?
14:15Well, I thought I'd go a bit further north.
14:17Yeah.
14:18So I went on a cruise to the Arctic in July, which was absolutely fantastic.
14:23And the main reason I went was because I wanted to see polar bears.
14:27And we saw eight polar bears quite close up, which was absolutely fantastic, including
14:33three together that were on the shore of a little rocky island.
14:37And it looked like two of them were boxing on their hind legs, boxing, they're big animals.
14:43And another one was lying down.
14:45And then the two would stop this boxing.
14:47And one would lie down and the other one would get up.
14:50And there'd be another boxing match.
14:51I thought, what is going on?
14:53Because it didn't look like they were having a real fight.
14:57And the expert on bears, the wildlife expert that was with us, he said, you know what this is?
15:02He said he'd never seen it before.
15:04It's really rare to see.
15:05This was a mother bear who was slightly bigger than the other two, trying to tell the cubs that, look,
15:12it's time to go off on your own.
15:14They were about two and a half.
15:16She would have been ready to mate again.
15:19And they'd been trailing around, having her do all that, catching all the seals and everything for them.
15:24And she was saying to them, no, you've got to go and leave home now.
15:28And periodically, they'd just lie down.
15:29Oh, we don't want to go.
15:30And she'd go and duff one another.
15:32Exactly like trying to get teenagers out of the house.
15:36Lovely.
15:36What a good story.
15:38But these were, of course, when they're on their hind legs.
15:40They're pretty tall.
15:41Eight feet or whatever they are.
15:42Yes, very tall.
15:43And they, I mean, a large female weighs about 300 kilos.
15:46And the males can be about up to 500 kilos.
15:49I mean, they're huge animals.
15:50So you wouldn't stand much chance, you know, in the boxing match if one was the other participant.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:57But anyway, it was a great trip.
15:58Super trip.
15:59Lovely.
15:59Very good.
16:04Thank you, Margaret.
16:05Now, what shall we do?
16:06Let's go to Doug for a letters game.

17:32What, we just call the wireless.
17:34Indeed.

19:23Can't match that.
19:24I thought we had a nine.
19:25Well, I thought we had a nine with minotaurs.
19:28But sadly, it's just one minotaurs and he's got a capital M.
19:32So it doesn't work.
19:33Good luck.

24:55Fasted.
24:56Fasted and?
24:57Awaited.
24:58Very good.
24:59Yep.
24:59And awaited.
25:01All right.
25:02Anything else there in the corner?
25:04Margaret and Susie, what have you got?
25:06Got wasted.
25:08That's seven again.
25:09Very good.
25:10Anything else?
25:11With the I, short-waisted, et cetera, long-waisted.
25:13No, sevens was our best, actually.
25:15All right.
25:1663 plays 30.
25:18Doug's in the lead there as we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins of words.
25:23Now, what have you got for us?
25:25Well, there is a joy sitting next to Margaret, Nick,
25:28because she enjoys words and language.
25:32And she was telling me something I didn't know,
25:34which was that the origin of Caligula, the name Caligula, the emperor.
25:37And apparently it came from the Caliga or Caligai sandals,
25:41very heavy-wearing sandals that he, that Roman soldiers used to wear.
25:46And as a child, apparently, Caligula would try on these sandals
25:51as part of a legionary costume.
25:52And they were little, I think Caligula means little boot or little sandal.
25:58And apparently when he did become emperor,
26:00he wore heavily jeweled, absolutely beautiful, Caligi or Caliguli, indeed.
26:05And it got me thinking about the sort of slightly strange story
26:09behind another famous person's surname, and that's Cicero.
26:14Now, Cicero is a name that comes from the Latin cica,
26:17which meant chickpea, believe it or not.
26:20And according to Plutarch, the name was first given
26:22to one of Cicero's ancestors because he had a cleft in his chin
26:26that was the size and shape of a chickpea.
26:29A very, very unlikely, more likely, apparently,
26:32according to surname sort of, you know, people, experts in this field,
26:37on a mass, as they're called,
26:38was that his whole family was involved in the selling of chickpeas.
26:43And actually, this sort of name was quite common in those days.
26:46So, Fabius, which was another very popular name at the time, meant bean,
26:50and then there was pizor, meaning peas.
26:52So, not quite as unlikely as possibly as it seems today.
26:56But it reminded me again of that lovely story of warts and all,
27:00that expression that goes back to Oliver Cromwell,
27:02also, we think, who demanded that his portrait be painted completely unembellished
27:07and not in the style of the day when they all look absolutely fantastic with a shapely calf.
27:11And if you look at his death mask, you can see that he had a very prominent wart just here
27:17and had a slightly warty face.
27:19But, yeah, very unlikely that Cicero's...
27:21He's supposed to have had probably the biggest influence on language
27:24than any other person, in fact, in Latin or any other European language in Z's,
27:29that his name actually goes back to a tiny little pulse called the chickpea.
27:33Very good.
27:36Lovely.
