00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34It's January and in Anglo-Saxon times, of course,
00:37it was known as Wolf Monath. Why?
00:40Well, today it would be Wolf Month and it was at this time of the year
00:44that wolves could be seen prowling round outside looking for food
00:49because the ground was hard and there was no food out in the wilderness.
00:53And, of course, this is exactly what's happening in places like Alaska
00:56and the far, far north where polar bears are breezing into town,
01:00scrounging around and looking for food because food's hard to come by.
01:05But do we help the wildlife at home?
01:08We're not terribly good, actually.
01:10We put out bird tables and those things strung from trees full of peanuts.
01:15But, of course, who gets it?
01:17The squirrels get it, which is a cause of much, you know, moaning in our household.
01:23How about you? What do you do for the wildlife?
01:26Well, last year we had...
01:27We stayed on holiday in this area with a big pond and about 200 ducks
01:32and as soon as you fed them once, every time you go out on the patio,
01:35these 200 ducks come at you. I didn't realise ducks can jump.
01:38They do. They can jump for the food and they like corn and peas.
01:41And there's something lovable about ducks. Yep.
01:44Don't know why. I do like to eat a duck, actually.
01:47Now, who's with us, Rachel?
01:49Susie Turner back, who had a devastating debut.
01:53Scored 118 first time out and got the conundrum in about four seconds.
01:57So that was fantastic.
01:59The trainer in the pub industry. No!
02:02You really amazed us all. Let's see how you get on today.
02:05You've got to get past Ken Hobbs, a retired milkman from Clifton in Bedfordshire,
02:10used to breed rough collies and Shetland sheepdogs.
02:15Now, collies. Something nice about collies. They're smart dogs.
02:18They are. We had a couple of outings at Crofts.
02:21Excellent stuff. Oh, good fun.
02:23Now you've taken up fly fishing. Yeah.
02:26Now, the sad thing is you took it up just after your dear wife died
02:29after 61 years of marriage and you told me a charming story
02:32that years and years ago, you bet your mate that that lovely girl,
02:36waiting to go into the loo, that you could get a date
02:40and by the time he had gone to buy a beer,
02:42you were on the way back in the bus with her. Yeah.
02:45Fabulous story. And you won ten bob on it. Yep.
02:48That's brilliant. Let's have a big round of applause for Ken and Susie.
02:52APPLAUSE
02:56You were very welcome. All right.
02:58And over in the corner, of course, Susie and the wonderful Alastair Stewart.
03:02Welcome back, Alastair. Thank you, sir.
03:04APPLAUSE
03:08Now, it's a letters game.
03:11Hello again, Rachel. Hi, Susie.
03:13Could I have a consonant, please? You can indeed, thank you.
03:15Start today with S.
03:17And a vowel.
03:19A.
03:20A consonant.
03:22K.
03:24Another consonant.
03:26P.
03:28A vowel, please.
03:30I.
03:32And a consonant.
03:34G.
03:36And a consonant.
03:38Z.
03:39And a vowel.
03:42O.
03:44Hmm. I'll end with a consonant, please.
03:47And last one, W.
03:49And here comes the Countdown Clock.
04:09CLOCK TICKS
04:23Yes, Susie? Horrible lot of letters. I've got a slightly dodgy five.
04:27How about Ken? I've got a six.
04:29Well done. Now, then.
04:31Susie?
04:33Woads. Woads.
04:35Ken?
04:37Now, here's the Countdown Player.
04:39Woads was a little bit risky, Susie.
04:41It's a mass noun, so you can only have it in the singular.
04:44A yellow-flowered European plant of the cabbage family.
04:47A carpe is excellent.
04:49A good countdown word, that one.
04:51They are large browsing mammals of the giraffe family
04:53and you'll find them in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
04:55in the rainforests.
04:57Very good. And anything else?
04:59No, I'm afraid we can't do better than that.
05:01So, well done, you. Well done.
05:03Now, Ken. Your letters, Ken.
05:05Please. Thank you, Ken.
05:07N. And another.
05:09P. And another.
05:11Q.
05:13And another.
05:15T. A vowel.
05:17U.
05:19A vowel.
05:21E.
05:25A consonant.
05:27H.
05:29And another vowel, please.
05:31Another U.
05:33And lastly, G.
05:35And the clock starts now.
06:03CLOCK TICKS
06:07Yes, Ken?
06:09I'm sorry, such a horrible lot of letters.
06:11I've only got a four.
06:13A four? How did Susie do?
06:15Well, that's a relief, cos I've only got four as well.
06:17So, Ken's four?
06:19THUG.
06:21THUG. And? HUNG.
06:23And HUNG.
06:25Well, no embarrassment whatsoever with four.
06:27PUNT was the first one that I came up with.
06:30I think there may be one or two others there.
06:32But there is also UNPEG,
06:35which, again, yesterday we talked about hyphens,
06:37and this one is not hyphenated either.
06:39I know. Very few UN words are nowadays.
06:41You have to unfasten by the removal of pegs.
06:43Unpeg the washing. Indeed. Well done.
06:45Thank you, Alistair.
06:47Ken plays Susie's four, and it's Susie's numbers game.
06:50Susie? Thank you.
06:52Could I have two large and four small, please?
06:54You can indeed. Thank you, Susie. Two big, four little.
06:56And for the first time today, your numbers are...
06:58nine, eight, four, two,
07:01and a large to 125.
07:04And the target?
07:06897.
07:08897.
07:29Susie?
07:31I've got 898, but I've not got it written down.
07:34898.
07:36And you're 898 too? Yes.
07:38Thank you. Susie?
07:40Nine times 100. 900.
07:42And then minus two. Yep.
07:44Minus the sign.
07:46There we go. All right.
07:48So, we call on Susie.
07:51Susie?
07:53898.
07:55898.
07:57We call upon Rachel to help us out.
07:59897?
08:01Yeah, there were a couple of ways.
08:03You could have said 100 plus nine for 109,
08:06times that by eight for 872,
08:09and add the 25.
08:11Oh, well done. 897.
08:13Thank you.
08:17So, Ken still ahead, 17 to Susie's 11,
08:20as we turn to our first Tea Time teaser,
08:22which is Costa milk.
08:24Coffee and milk could be the strongest ingredients
08:27in these drinks.
08:29Coffee and milk could be the strongest ingredient
08:32in these drinks.
08:49Welcome back. I left with a clue.
08:51Coffee and milk could be the strongest ingredients
08:53in these drinks.
08:55And the drinks would be mocktails.
08:57Mocktails.
08:59Doesn't sound much fun to me.
09:01Susie on 11, Kenneth 17.
09:03Well done, Ken.
09:05And it's Ken's letters game.
09:07Can we have a consonant, please?
09:09Thank you, Ken. T.
09:11And another. R.
09:13And another. T.
09:15A vowel.
09:17I.
09:19A vowel.
09:21E.
09:23A consonant, please.
09:25Y.
09:27Another consonant.
09:29N.
09:31A vowel.
09:33O.
09:35And another consonant.
09:37And the last one, S.
09:39Well done.
09:49CLOCK TICKS
10:09Well, Ken?
10:11A six.
10:13A six, Susie?
10:15I've got an eight.
10:17Yeah. Now, Miss Turner.
10:19It's not very nice, eight.
10:21Snottier.
10:23It'll do.
10:25It is brilliant.
10:27We cannot match eight,
10:29as far as I know, can we?
10:31Well, we can with tritones.
10:33I'd missed the S.
10:35Tritone, of course,
10:37a division of a note.
10:39But, of course, when you put the S on,
10:41then pluralise it.
10:43It is an eight as well.
10:45It propels Susie into a two-point lead,
10:4719 over Ken, 17.
10:49Susie, you're back.
10:51Letters.
10:53Thank you. A consonant, please.
10:55N.
10:57And a vowel.
10:59E.
11:01A consonant.
11:03D.
11:05Another consonant.
11:07R.
11:09A vowel, please.
11:11U.
11:13I.
11:15A consonant.
11:17H.
11:19A consonant.
11:21M.
11:23And a final vowel, please.
11:27And a final E.
11:29Turner.
11:43MUSIC PLAYS
11:59Susie.
12:01Just six this time.
12:03And six. Two sixes.
12:05Susie. Minder.
12:07Ken. Hinder.
12:09How's that? Both fine.
12:11Well done.
12:13But here's an unexpected one, and we've checked it,
12:15and it's absolutely right.
12:17Everyone is familiar with exhumed,
12:19what the police sometimes have to do
12:21when someone's died in mysterious circumstances.
12:23How did they get there in the first place?
12:25Inhumed.
12:27Indeed.
12:29And that's a seven. All right.
12:3125 plays 23.
12:33Susie's still there with a two-point lead
12:35as we turn to Ken.
12:37It's your numbers game. Good luck.
12:39One small and one large, please.
12:41You may indeed. Thank you, Ken.
12:43Five little ones, one big again,
12:45and this time the little ones are
12:47seven, ten,
12:49one, three,
12:51and another one, and the big one's 75.
12:53And this target...
12:55837.
12:57837.
12:59MUSIC PLAYS
13:09MUSIC CONTINUES
13:27Yes, Ken?
13:29836.
13:31One away, Susie.
13:33I'm one away as well, 836.
13:35Ken?
13:3775 plus 3,
13:3978.
13:4110 plus 1, plus 1.
13:4310 plus 1, plus 1 is 12.
13:45Multiply them together.
13:47You get 936.
13:51Oh. Sorry.
13:53Bad luck. Susie?
13:55I did 10 plus 1
13:57to make 11.
13:5910 plus 1, 11.
14:01Times 75 is 825.
14:03825, yep.
14:05And then I had
14:077, 3 and 1 left over.
14:09Add those together.
14:117, 3 and 1 for 11, yeah.
14:13One away.
14:15Now, let's see whether Rachel can help us out of this.
14:17837?
14:19Leave it with me.
14:21Certainly will. Certainly will.
14:23And bad luck, bad luck, Ken.
14:25Alistair, what are you going to talk to us about?
14:27Animals.
14:29You set the tone earlier when you talked
14:31of dogs and ducks
14:33and why we love ducks and so on and so forth.
14:35I think we've already established
14:37that my great passion is horses.
14:39And our passion for horses
14:41takes my wife and I to lots of
14:43really lovely places.
14:45Now, we have a very good friend called Keith
14:47who happens to be on the committee
14:49of the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
14:51So we go there.
14:53The clue is in the name.
14:55It's in Her Majesty's back garden.
14:57And she quite likes horses.
14:59And because it's at Windsor
15:01horses are all a bit smart.
15:03They have a wonderful tent
15:05where they offer lunch.
15:07And somebody suddenly leant across to me
15:09and said,
15:11who on earth is that extraordinary man
15:13in a leather coat
15:15and white trousers
15:17tucked in to high boots
15:19wearing sunglasses?
15:21Well,
15:23hook, line and sinker,
15:25I was gone.
15:27I looked around the corner
15:29and I saw Bruce Springsteen,
15:31the great American rock star.
15:33What on earth is he doing here?
15:35They said.
15:37Bruce has a brilliant daughter
15:39called Jessica
15:41who rides for the American Olympic team.
15:43And when my very good friend
15:45Peter Charles
15:47won team gold at London 2012
15:49on a horse called Vindicat,
15:51he got a phone call the next day
15:53from one Bruce Springsteen
15:55saying,
15:57and he did.
15:59I won't tell you what the numbers are,
16:01but they'd make your eye water.
16:03But that's why Bruce Springsteen was at Windsor
16:05and why Jessica was there
16:07and why Vindicat was there.
16:09So take up show jumping.
16:11You meet all sorts of fabulous people.
16:13That's a great story.
16:15Now then, Rachel.
16:17You've cracked it?
16:19Yes. It wasn't actually that tricky,
16:21but I could only see the one way.
16:23So lots of dead ends.
16:25Add 2, 75 for 84
16:27and then times that by 10, 840
16:29and take away the 3.
16:31There we are.
16:33Fantastic. Well done.
16:37As ever, spot on.
16:3932 plays 23.
16:41Susie on 32
16:43and it's Susie's letters game.
16:45Thank you. Can I have a consonant, please?
16:47Thank you, Susie. D.

17:21Stand by.
17:51Yes, Susie?
17:53I have an 8.
17:55I'm afraid I've only got a 6.
17:57And your 6?
17:59M.
18:01Susie?
18:03M.
18:05Very nice.
18:07APPLAUSE
18:09Well done.
18:11And from the corner?
18:13We can match it, curiously,
18:15just by transposing the last two letters,
18:17which is MELODISE,
18:19as in making of a melody.
18:21But MELODISE, 8, brilliant.
18:23Absolutely spot on.
18:25Very good. Susie, anything else?
18:27No, that was our best for 8.
18:29Let's rest there. All right, 40 plays 23.
18:31Now, then, Ken, your letters game.

19:17CLOCK TICKS
19:35Yes, Ken?
19:37I'm sorry, I've written down an E instead of an O,
19:39so I've nothing to declare.
19:41Bad luck. I'm sorry to hear that.
19:43Susie?
19:45I've got a 7, I think.
19:47And that 7?
19:49Parotid.
19:51Yes, the salivary gland
19:53that comes up not literally a lot on the programme.
19:57Very good. All right.
19:59And in the corner?
20:01There's a lovely 8.
20:03Theatrical land, and what have you.
20:05The trapdoor.
20:07The trapdoor, indeed.
20:09Very good.
20:11Very good.
20:13Let's have a good numbers game now. Susie?
20:15Thank you. May I have two large numbers, please, and four small?
20:17You may indeed. Thank you, Susie.
20:19Two large, four little.
20:21And this time the small numbers are

21:47about his fondness for whisky.
22:03Welcome back. I left you with the clue.
22:05He's putting an end to the rumours
22:07about his fondness for whisky.
22:09He's scotching them.

23:27Octaves. Octaves.
23:29Both absolutely fine.
23:31Nice. Can we match? Do we have an eight?
23:33A delicious eight. Osculate.
23:35Yep.
23:37A mathematical term all about curves touching each other
23:39at certain points and also
23:41a slightly jokey term for kissing.
23:43Osculate.
23:45APPLAUSE
23:47That is very good.
23:49Osculate. Well done.

25:01Susie?
25:03A six this time.
25:05Ken? Six.
25:07Susie? Middle.
25:09And? Middle.
25:11Both in the middle.
25:13Alistair? We're feeling quite good.
25:15Yes. I think we are feeling quite good.
25:17Far from being docile... Yeah.
25:19..which is there for six.
25:21But if we said it together, we would be...
25:25Melodic. I was worrying about your second one there.
25:27No, no. That's me being demonic.
25:29So we can offer demonic or melodic.
25:31Both for seven.
25:33Excellent stuff. All right.
25:3570 plays 46. Susie?
25:37Nick.
25:39We're with you for your wonderful origin of words.
25:41Well, Alistair mentioned the other day
25:43that jetson was one of his favourite words.
25:45So I was going to talk a little bit about flotsam and jetsam.
25:47Today we use them figuratively to mean
25:49unimportant items, if you like,
25:51little odds and ends.
25:53But in the technical sense,
25:55they have very specific meanings.
25:57Flotsam is the part of a wreckage
25:59or the cargo of a ship
26:01that is found floating on the water.
26:03And jetsam is the cargo
26:05that is deliberately thrown overboard
26:07in an attempt to save the ship
26:09or lighten the ship in an emergency.
26:11Flotsam came over with the Normans,
26:13the Anglo-French flotsam,
26:15which meant to float, as you might expect.
26:17And jetsam is a version, if you like,
26:19of jettison.
26:21It comes from the French jetter meaning to throw.
26:23And that got me thinking,
26:25flotsam and jetsam,
26:27about the whole kit and caboodle.
26:29It's a set phrase,
26:31as you might imagine,
26:33and kit is used in the same sense
26:35as a collection or group of things,
26:37such as a toolkit, etc.
26:39The caboodle bit is the slightly more puzzling thing.
26:41But you have to look back to the Dutch birdle,
26:43which meant property.
26:45And the ker in there is just used as an intensifier,
26:47much as you might say kaplunk
26:49or gazillion or that kind of thing.
26:51So, the entire phrase,
26:53the whole kit and caboodle, if you like,
26:55is a bit of a tautology, because it means
26:57the whole thing and the whole thing.
26:59So, in other words, the whole set together.
27:01But because it has such a lovely,
27:03almost sing-song sound to it,
27:05we've kept the whole kit and caboodle.
27:07It's something slightly different from flotsam and jetsam,
27:09but we use them so often that we don't really think
27:11about where they came from.
27:13But I think they're two lovely phrases that we should keep.
27:15Well done.
27:17Tautology is another level.
27:19APPLAUSE
27:21That's very good.
27:23Thank you, Susie.
27:2517-46, Susie's in the lead,
27:27and it's Ken's letters game.
27:29Ken. Can I have a consonant, please?
27:31Thank you, Ken. And another.

27:35And another.
27:37S.
27:39And a vowel.

27:43Another vowel. I.
27:45Another vowel. O.
27:47A consonant.

27:57Stand by.
28:17MUSIC PLAYS
28:27Ken.
28:29I'll try a nine.
28:31Good man. Susie?
28:33No, I don't think I'll try a nine. I'll go for a six.
28:35Your six?
28:37Er, strive.
28:39No, Ken.
28:41It may not be allowed. Favourites.
28:43Oh!
28:45I was going to say yes,
28:47but we don't allow American spellings, unfortunately,
28:49and so you do need the U in there.
28:51Bad luck. I thought perhaps,
28:53but I've got to give it a go.
28:55Absolutely. Why not?
28:57Sorry about that.
28:59I started with voters.
29:01And then my friend on the right
29:03nudged me
29:05and has a better,
29:07where it's not V-O-T-E,
29:09but it's V-O-T-A...
29:11A-R-I-E-S. Yep.
29:13Which is eight.
29:15Yeah. Well done. Votaries.
29:17APPLAUSE
29:21So, Susie, final letters game for you.
29:23Erm, a consonant, please.
29:25Thank you, Susie. N.
29:27A vowel.
29:29I. A consonant.
29:31T.
29:33And another one, please.
29:35M.
29:37A vowel.
29:39A. A consonant.
29:41T.
29:43Another consonant.
29:45L.
29:47A vowel.
29:49E.
29:51Erm...
29:53And another vowel, please.
29:55And the last one, O.
29:57Stand by.
30:11CLOCK TICKS
30:29Susie?
30:31Just a six.
30:33Ken? Seven.
30:35So, Susie? Lament.
30:37And? Animate.
30:39Oh, Ken, you need two A's.
30:41Animate.
30:43How about that?
30:45I could have had omental. Yes.
30:47LAUGHTER
30:49Don't feel bad.
30:51I wanted laminate as well, but I...
30:53LAUGHTER
30:55I didn't have that, cos I thought I'd need two A's.
30:57LAUGHTER
30:59You could indeed have had omental,
31:01relating to the omentum, which is part of the stomach.
31:03But there is an eight there as well.
31:05Tomatine, which is the compound
31:07you'll find in tomato plants.
31:09Well done. Well done. And bad luck there, Ken.
31:11You were on to it all right.
31:13So, 82 to 46,
31:15we go into the final numbers game.
31:17Ken?
31:19Five small and one large, please.
31:21Thank you, Ken. One from the top row and five from the other ones.
31:23And the final numbers game of the day
31:25is three, ten,
31:27nine,
31:29another nine, seven,
31:31and 75.
31:33And the target?
31:35356.
31:37356.
31:39MUSIC
32:06Ken?
32:08No. No? No.
32:10Susie? You're frowning.
32:12I think I've got 355.
32:14Let's try.
32:1675 plus nine is 84.
32:1884.
32:20And then seven minus three
32:22is four. Yep.
32:24Multiply those together for 336.
32:26336. And then add ten and add nine.
32:28And add ten and nine. Yep.
32:30Couldn't use that other nine.
32:32Perfect. One away.
32:34Well done.
32:38And what does Rachel think about 356?
32:41Well, you could have said
32:43nine plus three minus seven
32:45is five.
32:47Times that by 75 for 375.
32:50And take away the ten and the other nine.
32:52Ah, well done.
32:54Well done.
32:56So, if we go into the final round, then,
32:58it's Susie on 89
33:00and Ken on 46.
33:02Buzzers. Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
