00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Hello and welcome to Countdown.
00:33On this day in 1965, the Rolling Stones recorded
00:37I Can't Get No Satisfaction.
00:40Great song, terrible grammar.
00:42Rachel? It's one of those things, though.
00:44Once you've heard it so many times, it becomes kind of normal
00:47and you forget that that's bad.
00:49I've done that because, obviously, I live with a non-native English speaker.
00:52I pick up foreign ways of speaking, which is appalling.
00:55And I tried to speak French the other day and it's absolutely gone.
00:58I was using all kinds of constructions and mixing up languages
01:01and it's very, very sad.
01:03I used to be pretty good when I was younger.
01:05OK, let's meet our contestants.
01:08Ryan is back.
01:10It was really crucial, that last game yesterday, wasn't it?
01:14It was. Yeah.
01:16And you're an investment banker with a first-class degree
01:19and you're not bad at the numbers.
01:22Would that be correct?
01:24Yeah, I think you could say that.
01:26One of your advantages, you've got a clever wife who's a doctor.
01:29Yes, that's my biggest advantage.
01:31That is your biggest advantage.
01:33Rob is here from...?
01:35From Bradford. Bradford. And what do you do?
01:37I'm a works manager at a galvanising plant.
01:40Are you? So you're the boss?
01:42Yeah, you could call me that.
01:44How many staff have you got?
01:46There's roughly 35 to 40 that report directly into my staff.
01:49Do you shout at them? No, no, I'm a very nice boss.
01:52Got a degree?
01:54A degree in business IT, Huddersfield University.
01:57Did you go from school to university?
01:59No, at 16, I left school and joined the Royal Navy.
02:04Did you? Yeah. And then what happened?
02:07Six weeks later, I decided I missed my mum a bit too much
02:11and left the Royal Navy.
02:13Really? And does everyone at the factory know
02:16that you had six weeks in the Royal Navy
02:18and you missed your mum too much?
02:20No, they don't. You do now.
02:22Round of applause for our contestants.

06:06Thank you.
06:07Ryan, you're trained in risk assessment, aren't you?
06:11That was part of my degree, yes.
06:13Yeah.
06:14But you took a bit of a chance last time.
06:16I did, yes.
06:18I might not be doing that again.
06:20No.
06:21Your numbers.
06:22I'll have six small, please, Rachel.
06:24Yes, we call that a chance.
06:25It's a bit of a gamble.

12:58Yeah.
12:59Straightforward, this one.
13:01It's also the same?
13:02It's exactly the same, yes.
13:04Oh, OK.
13:05APPLAUSE
13:10Michael Crick, ace political reporter and author.
13:14We were talking yesterday about your talent
13:17for studying the statistics of elections,
13:21which makes you a syphologist, I think that's right?
13:24Yeah, I wouldn't say a talent, but I do enjoy it, yeah.
13:28And you've got another talent, haven't you?
13:30Well, I have a... I don't know, you'd call it a condition, really,
13:33a harmful one. I'm a synesthete.
13:35And what is a synesthete? Well, in its strongest form,
13:38it's where people get their sort of...
13:40the wiring of their senses sort of mixed up,
13:42so they'll hear a word like, you know, apple,
13:45and then suddenly the smell of something will come into their mind.
13:48I don't have it like that, but what I do have
13:50is I see all the days of the week as colours.
13:52Quite a few people have this.
13:54See all the days of the week of colours, all the months of the year,
13:57some numbers and letters.
13:58And when I was a teenager, I asked around the family
14:01and I discovered that everybody on my mother's side of the family,
14:04descended from my great-grandparents, had this condition.
14:08So I said, right, well, what are your colours?
14:10And I did a survey and there was a lot of correlation
14:13between the different colours that we gave the days of the week.
14:16You know, a lot of us, for instance, would say that Friday was yellow.
14:20But the correlation was really, really marked
14:23amongst my three triplet sisters, who are identical triplets,
14:27and there the correlation was quite extraordinary.
14:30I mean, you know, what's the use of all this? Not much.
14:34I also think of, you know, history and time.
14:37I have a diagram in my mind, numbers and diagrams.
14:40And I discovered a lot of people in this world don't think like that at all.
14:43So it's synesthesia. I don't think it does any harm.
14:46It may actually help you think, I think.
14:48Well, because I can joke. Let's compare.
14:50OK, what colour is Monday?
14:52Blue.
14:53No! It's quite black, Monday.
14:56Well, blue and black are close to each other.
14:59Tuesday?
15:00That's a dark green.
15:02No, it's a pinky red.
15:05Emma, do you have a diagram in your head of time, for instance,
15:10the past history and the future?
15:12No.
15:13Do you think like that at all? No, I do.
15:15What about numbers?
15:16Do they all come in a long, sort of wavy line, like they do with me?
15:20Yeah, yeah.
15:21And the year goes round and round as well for me.
15:23It's a sort of go round and round like that.
15:26Mine goes in the opposite direction.
15:28Do you, in fact, know what percentage of people...?
15:32I don't. I mean, I was told it was a very low percent,
15:35but then I meet quite a lot of other people who are synesthetes as well.
15:38And as I say, there are some.
15:39I mean, some of my relatives are much stronger
15:41and they see musical...
15:43They hear or they see musical notes in colours
15:46or whatever, however one says it, which I don't have that at all.
15:49How long have we known about this condition?
15:52I don't know.
15:53I mean, I first did my...
15:55I think probably 50 or 60 years.
15:57But when I did my study at school, I did a school project on it
16:00and I didn't even... I'd never even heard of synesthesia then.
16:03It's only later on in life that I got to hear about it.
16:06Susie's looking it up now.
16:08Well, just the word.
16:09I'm sure the condition, people have known about it for a while,
16:12but the word is from the late 19th century.
16:14Oh, really? Yeah.
16:15Yeah, we've known about it for a while.
16:17And it was classified, in psychology at least, in 1895
16:20in the American Journal of Psychology.
16:22But I'm sure...
16:23Obviously, people have had this for centuries and centuries,
16:26but that's when it was absolutely diagnosed.
16:28Oh, brilliant.
16:29Michael Crick, thank you.
16:31APPLAUSE
16:34Scores 39-29.

17:51And in the corner?
17:52I'm afraid only chink and cheek.
17:54Five.
17:55You can extend cheek, Michael, to cheeking,
17:57cos if you cheek someone, you speak impertinently.
18:00Oh!
18:01And you being a wordsmith.

19:32Excellent.
19:33Very good.
19:37Any other eights, sevens, sixes?
19:40No, just sevens.
19:42I didn't get bluesier at all.
19:43Bluish, blusher, bushier.
19:45But well done.
19:46Ryan, what do investment bankers in Glasgow do for fun?
19:51You need to ask one that doesn't have two children.
19:55Oh, really?
19:57So I've got children who are two and...
19:59Sorry, three now, and five.
20:01And most of my fun is their fun.

21:39APPLAUSE
21:52Welcome back.
21:53I left you with the clue, not the sort of guest you want
21:56at your picnic, and the answer is colubrid,
22:00which I have no idea of the meaning.
22:03No, it's a useful one, though, because a colubrid is a snake
22:06from a very large family that includes most of the sort of
22:11non-venomous snakes, so the harmless ones,
22:13like grass snakes and garter snakes, etc.
22:15We have them in this country?
22:17We have grass snakes, don't we?
22:18So, yeah, we have some colubrids here.
22:20OK.
22:21Oh, it's a collective name, is it?
22:23It's a big family, the colubridi family,
22:25and a colubrid is a member.
22:26And there are lots and lots of different types.
22:28OK.
22:29Yeah.

25:01Ryan?
25:07Six.
25:08Rob?
25:09I'll go with a risky six.
25:11Ryan?
25:12Ownage.
25:13Rob?
25:14Gowner.
25:16OK, so ownage is in the act of utterly defeating an opponent,
25:22but there is no gowner, I'm afraid.
25:24Oh.
25:25Sorry about that, Rob.
25:26No worries.
25:27Have you got another four for us, Michael?
25:30I've got anger, which is five.
25:33I don't know, is there a word wanger?
25:36W-A-N-G-E-R.
25:38Um...
25:40No, not without the H.
25:42And we don't want to go there.
25:44Waggoner for seven and unaware for seven as well.
25:48Anne, over to you, Susie.
25:50Thanks, Anne.
25:51Well, regular viewers will know I love the odd couples of English,
25:55so words that you would never imagine are related but actually are,
25:58and I often talk about them, muscle and mouse and mortgage and mortuary,
26:02and there are lots and lots of them,
26:04but one that I would like to talk about today is mosquito and musket,
26:07because you wouldn't necessarily put those two words together,
26:10but historically they actually go back to a word meaning a little fly.
26:15And when I say they go back to,
26:17we're talking about an ancient language,
26:20which we call Proto-Indo-European,
26:22and we've had to kind of reconstruct it.
26:24It is very, very old.
26:26But we do know that words beginning with M-U in their alphabet
26:30were used for the names of buzzing insects,
26:33and they produced lots of different names,
26:35all of them for little kinds of insects,
26:37probably based on the sound of buzzing and humming and that kind of thing.
26:41And that's not unusual, so we know that a similar root, M-A,
26:45gave us the word mother,
26:47and so many different words in different languages for mother,
26:50whether it's mater in Latin or mutter in German and so on and so on.
26:56But going back to these insects,
26:58one descendant of that Indo-European root for an insect
27:03was actually mosca, which in Italian meant a little fly.
27:08And that, in turn, also gave us midge, believe it or not.
27:12They don't seem related, but they do come back from the same family tree.
27:16And a midge, of course, is a small biting fly,
27:18and its smallness then inspired the word midget,
27:21which, of course, is very offensive today,
27:23but we still use it for sort of little things like midget gems,
27:26the sweets, for example.
27:28But that mosca, in Italian, meaning little fly,
27:31was actually, it acquired what we call a diminutive,
27:34and a moschetta was a little fly,
27:36and moschetta, of course, eventually became mosquito.
27:40But it was also applied to an arrow fired from crossbows,
27:44and we think it's because it darted around the place much like a fly,
27:48but also probably made a buzzing noise as it flew.
27:51Thank you, Susie.
27:53Amazing.
27:56Rob, have you got anyone with you in the studio?
27:59Yeah, my wife's here with me.
28:01And children at home?

28:05The mother-in-law at the moment.

28:09Of course I do.
