00:21Thank you very much.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:33Now, a recent survey unveiled something really rather interesting.
00:371.4 million people holiday in the UK for one very particular reason.
00:42They can't be parted from their animal and they can't take their dog with them.
00:46So, 8% apparently of holidaymakers stay in the UK for that particular reason.
00:52I know that it's complicated and a lot of people can't be bothered to go to it
00:56because in order to kick off the passport scheme,
01:00you've got to actually have the injections
01:02and then you've got to have the results of those antidote injections
01:06and then you've got, I think, to wait for something like six months.
01:09So, there's quite a performance.
01:12But it's worth doing.
01:14Did you ever take any beloved animals overseas, boyfriends excluded?
01:20No, cats aren't as good at travelling as dogs are, are they?
01:24So, my biscuits, they either come and stay with me
01:26or they go to this cat hotel in Essex
01:28and then they take little videos and then they put them on Facebook
01:31so you can see how your cats are getting on.
01:33So, yeah, there's really nice people you can hear from them going,
01:36Beastie!
01:36And you get this whole little story about what Beastie's been up to.
01:39Yeah, get regular updates.
01:40Well done.
01:41All right.
01:42Now, who's with us?
01:43Charlie Clark from Cork.
01:45Welcome, how are you?
01:46Hi, Nick.
01:46Very well, thank you.
01:47Well done.
01:48Customer service specialist from Cork
01:50and you finished with two wins last week.
01:52I did, indeed.
01:53Well done.
01:54You enjoyed it?
01:54Yeah, fantastic.
01:55Great experience.
01:56You had a restful weekend?
01:58I had.
01:58Lovely, thank you.
01:59Excellent.
02:00Yeah.
02:00Now, you're joined today by John Shaw.
02:02Welcome, John.
02:03Hi, Nick.
02:03From Swaddling Coat near Burton, I think.
02:07Yes, about four miles away.
02:08I'd love to live in a place called Swaddling Coat.
02:10It's fabulous.
02:11What do you do up there?
02:12I work for a local brewery.
02:14Well, you would, I guess.
02:15This is the heart of the brewing industry.
02:19It's the brewing capital.
02:20Yeah, indeed it is.
02:21Now, the most daring thing you've done is flyboarding.
02:26Flyboarding.
02:26Come.
02:28It's where somebody's in charge of a jet ski,
02:31but the engine is basically attached to your feet.
02:34So they control the power and you control the direction.
02:37And the idea is you start in the water, standing vertically.
02:42The power comes up and you get taken out of the water.
02:44And you can get about 10, 15 feet in the air.
02:47I've seen that being done.
02:49And how far did you go?
02:50I managed about 10 feet first.
02:53And the instructor, he gave me a thumbs up sign,
02:56which I thought he'd doing OK.
02:57And I went, yes.
02:58And he put me up another 10 foot in the air.
03:00Would you do it again?
03:02Definitely, yeah.
03:02All right, well done.
03:03A big round of applause for the flyboarder and Charlie Clarke.
03:09And over the corner, of course, Susie Dent.
03:11And from Good Morning Britain, it's Charlotte Hawkins.
03:14Welcome back, Charlotte.
03:16Lovely to be back.
03:17Good.
03:17Now then, Charlie Clarke.
03:20Can I have a consonant, please?
03:22Thank you, Charlie.
03:22Start the week with L.
03:25And another one, please.
03:27D.
03:28And another?
03:30N.
03:31And a vowel?
03:33I.
03:34Another vowel?
03:35E.
03:36And a third vowel?
03:38A.
03:39A consonant?
03:41R.
03:42And another consonant?
03:44P.
03:45And one more vowel, please.
03:46And the last one.
03:48O.
03:49And here's the countdown clock.
03:51O.
04:03MUSIC PLAYS
04:21Well, Charlie? Seven.
04:23A seven. John? Seven as well.
04:25Charlie? Leopard.
04:27And John? Praline.
04:31Praline, very nice. Good start.
04:33I like some praline. Very good start.
04:35Charlotte and Susie?
04:37Ordinal is there, short for ordinal number,
04:39to give you another seven, but couldn't get to an eight.
04:42Bad luck.
04:44Seven apiece, and John, it's your letters game.
04:47Hi, Rachel. Hi, John.
04:49Can I have a consonant, please? Thank you, John.
04:51M.
04:52Another consonant.
04:55R.
04:56And another, please.
04:57Y.
04:59Vowel.
05:00U.
05:02Another vowel.
05:03I.
05:05Consonant.
05:06D.
05:08And a vowel.
05:10A.
05:12Consonant.
05:14M.
05:17And a final vowel, please.
05:19And a final E.
05:21Stand by.
05:23BELL RINGS
05:24BELL RINGS
05:54Yes, John?
05:55I have a six.
05:56A six, Charlie?
05:57A seven.
05:59Now then, John?
06:00Maimed.
06:01Charlie?
06:02Mediary.
06:05Mediary.
06:06OK.
06:08Just double-check that.
06:12Not there, Charlie, I'm afraid.
06:14Sorry.
06:15Intermediary, certainly, but not mediary on its own.
06:18Apologies.
06:19Bad luck, Charlie.
06:20Now, Charlotte?
06:21Just some more sixes.
06:22So there was also myriad and dimmer.
06:26That's it?
06:27That was it, yes.
06:27Myriad originally 10,000, a unit of 10,000.
06:30Myriad.
06:31You might get a myriad of mermaids if you're lucky.
06:34Mermaid is also there.
06:35Is that the collective noun?
06:37No.
06:37I just made that one up for a bad link.
06:40But mermaid would give you a seven.
06:41Exactly.
06:4210,000 of them.
06:43That'd be quite something.
06:4413 plays.
06:45Seven.
06:46And Charlie?
06:48Numbers time.
06:48One large one, please, and five small.
06:50Thank you, Charlie.
06:51One from the top row, five from the bottom rows.
06:53And the first one of the week is six, two, nine, seven, three, and 75.
07:01And the target, 411.
07:044-1-1.
07:37Charlie?
07:41Er, 438.
07:42Sorry, 4.
07:43No, I don't have it.
07:44Sorry, missed it.
07:45All right.
07:45John Shaw?
07:46Er, 412.
07:48One away.
07:48That'll do.
07:50OK.
07:51Er, 75 minus 6.
07:5375 minus 6, 69.
07:5469 times by 6, 414.
07:58How did you get your 6?
07:59Very good point.
08:00Er, I did 9 minus 3.
08:049 minus 3 for another 6.
08:06Times them together, 414.
08:09And take off the 2.
08:10Lovely.
08:11One away.
08:12That gets us there.
08:13Well done.
08:14But, Rachel, 411.
08:16Er, yes.
08:17If you instead say 75 minus 7 is 68.
08:20Times that by 6 for 408.
08:24And then add on the 3.
08:25411.
08:26Well done.
08:27That's the way.
08:29Well done, Rachel.
08:30411.
08:31As we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is stir a note.
08:34And the clue, he'll play a few notes for you, but it could cost you a note in return.
08:40He'll play a few notes for you, but it could cost you a note in return.
09:00Welcome back.
09:01I left you with the clue, he'll play a few notes for you, but it could cost you a note
09:05in return.
09:06And the answer to that one is tenorist.
09:09Susie Dent.
09:10A tenorist.
09:11A player of a tenor instrument, especially the tenor saxophone, so you will find a tenorist in an orchestra.
09:17It's a great instrument, too.
09:19Lovely.
09:2020 plays 7.
09:21John's in the lead, and it's John's letters game now.
09:24Take it away.
09:25Shall we have a consonant, please?
09:26Thank you, John.
09:27T.
09:28And a consonant.
09:30B.
09:31And another consonant, please.
09:33W.
09:35And fourth.
09:37D.
09:38A vowel.
09:39U.
09:40Another vowel.
09:42A.
09:43And a third.
09:45E.
09:47Can I have a fourth vowel, please?
09:50I.
09:51And the best of a consonant.
09:53And the last one.
09:54R.
09:56Tantan.
09:57Shabbat.
10:04Thanks for having Kosko.
10:13All right.
10:28Yes, John?
10:29A seven.
10:29A seven, Charlie?
10:31Seven.
10:32John?
10:33Baudier.
10:35Charlie?
10:36Baudier.
10:37There we go.
10:39Baudier.
10:40It's a good word, isn't it?
10:41It'd be baudy.
10:43What have we got?
10:44Charlotte?
10:44Susie?
10:45Yes, so we have baudier as well at seven.
10:48Yes.
10:48I love that word, baudier.
10:50It always makes me think of Chaucer.
10:52And tribate is also the attribute, I think, is how you pronounce it.
10:56It's a lesbian.
10:58A very old term, actually.
10:59Quite a rare one.
11:00Tribate.
11:01Tribate.
11:02All right.
11:0227 plays.
11:0314.
11:04And Charlie?
11:06Letters.
11:08Consonant, please, Rachel.
11:09Thank you, Charlie.

11:17A vowel, please.
11:19O.
11:20Another vowel.
11:22U.
11:23A third vowel.
11:25E.
11:26And a consonant.
11:28L.
11:30Another consonant.
11:32N.
11:33And a final vowel, please.
11:34And a final A.
11:37Stand by.
11:38H.
11:39H.
11:51MUSIC CONTINUES
12:09Charlie. A seven. A seven. John. A seven as well. Charlie. On leash. And handles. Thank you. Any advances or
12:20can we match that?
12:21There is an eight. Unlashed. Yes. Just change. Unleash a little bit. To unfasten. So he unlashed the dinghy is
12:30the example here.
12:31OK. All right.
12:34Thank you, Susie. 34 plays. 21. And we're with numbers again. We're with John. Could I have four big plays?
12:42You can indeed. Thank you, John. Four large ones. Two little ones. And this time the two smalls are four
12:49and five.
12:50And then the big four. 75. 100. 25. And 50. And the target. 994.
12:58Nine-nine-four.
13:00Nine-nine-four.
13:26MUSIC CONTINUES
13:30Yes, John?
13:31I have 996, not written down fully.
13:33Two away. How about Charlie?
13:35No, 1,000.
13:37All right. Let's stick with John Shaw. John?
13:39OK. 100 plus 75 plus 25.
13:43100 plus 75 plus 25 is 200.
13:47Times 5.
13:48Times 5 is 1,000.
13:50And take 4.
13:51And take 4, 996. Two away.
13:55Two away. Well done.
13:56But 994 really is what we wanted.
13:59Can you help us there, Rachel?
14:01Yes. If you say 75 minus 4 is 71.
14:07100 over 25 is 4.
14:1150 over 10 is...
14:13Sorry, 50 over 5, rather, is 10.
14:1610 add 4 is 14.
14:18And times them together.
14:20Very good. Well done.
14:22994.
14:24Excellent.
14:25994.
14:26So the score's standing 41 to John, 21 for Charlie.
14:29We turn to Charlotte and Charlie.
14:31Here we are Monday afternoon.
14:33A weekend.
14:34A weekend with Ella Rose.
14:37How was that?
14:38Busy.
14:39Always busy.
14:40But it's fascinating watching her develop, actually.
14:43She's now 19 months old.
14:45And I think it's the way that her language develops
14:48that I find the most interesting
14:50because she's gone from just being able to say a few words
14:53to literally chattering away overnight.
14:56It's got to that rather dangerous phase, though,
14:58where she does literally repeat everything you say.
15:01So you do have to be very careful about what you say.
15:04But we're trying to teach her as many new words as we can.
15:07I've even tried to drop in a bit of Spanish, a bit of French.
15:10So I've taught her hola, bonjour.
15:12Or she's not so good at Tré-Biennes,
15:14which her version is baby ham at the moment.
15:17So I don't know if that's my French
15:18or just the way she translates it.
15:20But it is adorable to see.
15:22And her latest favourite word,
15:23I'm not quite sure where she's got this one, though,
15:26because it's not one that we say on a regular basis.
15:28It's nincompoop.
15:30Yeah, she loves it.
15:32Nincompoop.
15:32I think it's the sound of it.
15:34And, yeah, I'm a bit worried about
15:36who she might direct it to next.
15:38But it is lovely to see.
15:40And she can be sometimes very direct and blunt at that age.
15:45You wonder how much she understands.
15:47But the other day, I was singing her a bedtime song
15:50as she was nestling down into her cot.
15:53But she gave me a very dark stare
15:55and stuck her fingers in her ears at my singing,
15:59which I wasn't very impressed with.
16:00I know. Can you believe it?
16:02But she's a fashion critic already as well, actually.
16:05I put her down for an afternoon nap one day
16:07when I had to go out to an evening event.
16:09And I thought, well, this is great.
16:10I've got a bit of time to do my hair,
16:12do my make-up, you know,
16:13spend a bit of time thinking about what I'm going to wear.
16:16I'd got ready and she was just waking up,
16:18so I popped in to say goodbye before I went.
16:20I was wearing what I thought was a lovely, glamorous jumpsuit,
16:23bit of a different look.
16:24And as I leant over to say goodbye,
16:26she took one look at me and said,
16:27pyjamas?
16:30Very good.
16:30Quite the look that I was going for.
16:33Very good. Well done.
16:37Very good.
16:38Very good.
16:39Very sweet.
16:39All right.
16:40Now then, Charlie,
16:42let's pick up our letterscape, shall we?

24:41Charlie? An eight. An eight. John? An eight as well. Charlie? Porkiest. Not you too, John. I'm Porkiest as well.
24:53Porkiest. Well done, John. Now then, Charlotte? Another eight. It could be Pastoree. P-A-S-T-O-R-I
25:05-E.
25:05Yes. In South Africa, it's the residence of a minister of one of the Dutch Reformed churches.
25:11Oh, yes. I can understand that. A Pastoree. Anything else, Susie?
25:14No, nothing else from us. Porkiest. Porkiest is a good one.
25:19Very good. 77 to 43. Susie, will you join us again and inject some learning into the studio?
25:26Well, I was going to start off with nincompoop, because Charlotte was asking me, where does that word come from?
25:31And it's one of those ones that's invited lots of theories over time.
25:34And most people think it comes from some sort of corruption of non-compus mentis.
25:39In other words, you're a little bit slow-witted because you're not all there.
25:43But it's had various spellings over the centuries, which suggests it has nothing to do with that Latin derivation.
25:49One other theory is that it comes from Nicodemus, who, in the Bible at least, who's the name of a
25:56Jewish Pharisee who questioned Jesus.
25:58And he became something of a byword for being slightly slow on the uptake.
26:03He secretly visited Jesus one night and asked Jesus about his teachings.
26:09And Jesus explained, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
26:15And apparently Nicodemus didn't quite guess it.
26:18And he said, how can you be born again if you're old?
26:21And didn't quite understand it.
26:22And so he became sort of renowned, if you like, for being not quite as sharp as other people.
26:29Well, that's possibly where nincompoop comes from.
26:31We don't know.
26:32But it's regularly on top of the poll for our favourite words, alongside discombobulate, which is another favourite one.
26:38So she's in good company.
26:40Good, I would say.
26:41But I was going to talk today just very briefly about the origin of a completely different word.
26:45And that's a hoodlum.
26:46A hoodlum is not an nincompoop, but somebody who actually goes around causing all sorts of trouble.
26:51In fact, it goes back a long way, possibly to San Francisco in the 1870s.
26:55There seems to have been a gang called the hoodlums.
26:59People who would encourage, apparently, labourers around them, unemployed labourers, to go and beat up Chinese migrants who weren't at
27:05all popular in those days.
27:07People thought that they were taking over the work.
27:11And it's possibly a sort of contraction, if you like, of hoodlum.
27:16In other words, go and beat them up.
27:18That's one theory.
27:20Much better explanation, perhaps slightly less colourful.
27:23It goes back to a lovely German word, which I love, which is a hoodlum.
27:27And a hoodlum is simply a ragamuffin.
27:30Possibly somebody who's up to no good, who might have to steal for a living.
27:33So I love hoodlum.
27:34I can use it wherever possible.
27:36But yes, probably that is our best derivation yet.
27:40But I'd stick with nincompoop.
27:41I think that's a much better word.
27:42Very good, yeah.
27:43Indeed.
27:47Hoodlums.
27:48Yeah.
27:48I mean, with gangsters.
27:50Yeah.
27:50I mean, unpleasant business, yeah.

32:36today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:09No luck here. But who in the audience will take on this conundrum? Do I see a hand? I do
33:17not see a hand. Let's roll it and see how difficult it was.
33:22Well, that is quite difficult. We've now turned to Susie. Can you help us on this? What is all this
33:27about?
33:27Fennegric. Yes, you use it in cooking. And it's got a very distinctive aromatic smell. And it comes from white
33:37-flowered herbaceous plant of the feed family.
33:39But you'll find it in curry powder, that kind of thing, fennegric. Yeah. I don't think I'll find it anywhere,
33:43actually.
33:44102 to Charlie's 50. John Shaw. Well done. Thank you. Well done. Charlie, I'm sorry to see you go.
33:49Yeah. You had two great wins. I enjoyed it immensely, though. I'm glad to hear that. I lost to a
33:54good opponent there.

33:59Cork.
34:00I am, indeed. Well, you have a safe trip back. Well done. Thank you very much.
34:04All right. Well done. And we shall see John Shaw. Great win. 102 first time out. Excuse me. See you
34:11tomorrow.
