00:27APPLAUSE
00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34We're all told we spend far too much time on our mobile phones, you know.
00:39Every opportunity we're reaching for the phone,
00:42wherever we are, to check things out.
00:44Well, apparently there's a new app that's out, Rachel, to slow us down.
00:48It's been so successful in Scandinavia, apparently,
00:51that it's now being released to students in 170 British universities.
00:55Here's the deal.
00:56To earn points, that's the whole thing, earning points.
01:00So for every 20 minutes of inactivity on your phone,
01:04between 7am and 11, you earn 10 points, all right?
01:07And then you can use those to buy coffee and stuff.
01:10Now, I don't get it. I don't understand where the money's coming from.
01:13But do we care? It's our business, isn't it?
01:16I think it's a brilliant idea.
01:18Because I'm addicted to my phone.
01:20When I had a week without my phone on holiday, no signal, it was brilliant.
01:23And as soon as I've come back, it's kind of glued to my hand again.
01:26I keep it on silent now because it's better for you.
01:28But I think that's a great idea.
01:29Are we so lacking in, you know, in self-control that you become addicted?
01:36Yes.
01:37I can understand having not being with your phone is a traumatising experience.
01:44But only, particularly when I was working, because I was fearful of missing a call.
01:50Mm-hm.
01:51That's it. Social media? Nah, I'm not bothered.
01:54I think maybe it's more for the younger generations.
01:56Maybe.
01:57Sorry, Nick.
01:59All right, who's with us? Diane Corder is back.
02:01Second good win yesterday. Well done.
02:03Very good win, in fact.
02:04And you're joined today, Diane, by Jodine Lawrence,
02:07a reception supervisor from Birmingham, who's a singer and a pianist.
02:12Yeah.
02:13But not professionally. You used to do it at college a bit, I think.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Is that right?
02:19But now it's just more home stuff.
02:21What's your favourite sort of music?
02:23R&B rap.
02:25R&B rap.
02:26Yeah.
02:27Excuse my puzzled look. I'm a bit old to understand all this.
02:30But listen, Jodine, have a lot of fun here today, both of you.
02:34Have a lot of fun and a good contest.
02:37Big round of applause for Jodine Lawrence and Diane Corder.
02:40APPLAUSE
02:44Wonderful.
02:45And over in the corner there, Susie and magic man and comedian, Paul Zenon.
02:49Welcome back, Paul.

04:15There we are, both of you.
04:17Paul?
04:18Yeah, we've got an eight there.
04:20It was a bit of a murky one, but denuding.
04:22Denuding.
04:23Yeah.
04:24Yep, to strip something of its covering, assets, et cetera,
04:28so we are denuding the Arctic of polar bears, that sort of thing.
04:33Very good. Seven points apiece. Well done.
04:35Jodine, letters again.

06:10Could I have one large and five small, please?
06:12You can, Izzy. Thank you, Diane.
06:14One from the top, five little ones.
06:16And the first numbers of the day are

07:11Lovely, extremely.
07:13Yeah.
07:14APPLAUSE
07:17So, 35 to 17.
07:19Jodine in the lead as we take to our first Tea Time teaser,
07:22which is It's A Giant.
07:24And the clue.
07:25It's a giant portion and it's most definitely satisfying her.
07:29It's a giant portion and it's most definitely satisfying her.
07:42APPLAUSE
07:49Welcome back.
07:50It's a giant portion and it's most definitely satisfying her.
07:55In fact, it's satiating her.
07:58Satiating.
08:00Oh, to be satiated.
08:0217 to 35. Jodine on 35.
08:05Jodine, your letters go.
08:07Can I have a consonant, please?
08:09Thank you, Jodine. S.
08:11And another one?

08:58MUSIC
09:12Jodine?
09:13Seven.
09:15A seven and...?
09:16Seven.
09:17Jodine?
09:18Passage.
09:19Passage and...?
09:20Passage.
09:21A few passages here.
09:22Yep.
09:23Paul and Susie?
09:24Just another couple of sevens, I think, with appears.
09:28Mm-hm.
09:29Magically.
09:30And grappas, which is some sort of alcohol, isn't it?
09:33Yeah, it's a sort of brandy distilled from fermented grapes,
09:36so you could definitely order two of those in a restaurant.
09:39But actually, if you take passage and add an R,
09:42you can have passenger for an H.
09:44It's an old term for a passage hawk, a type of hawk.
09:47Mm.
09:4842 to 24.
09:50And, Diane, it's your letters again now.
09:52Another consonant, please, Rachel.
09:54Thank you, Diane.

10:21Another consonant, please.

10:25Stand by.
10:52MUSIC STOPS
10:55Diane?
10:56Five, not written down.
10:58And Jodine?
10:59Seven.
11:00And a seven. So, Diane?
11:02Covert.
11:03Jodine?
11:04Emotive.
11:05Emotive.
11:06Excellent. Very, very good.
11:07Now, Paul and Susie?
11:09Yeah, there was a seven there with telecom.
11:13Yeah.
11:14But there was a last-minute eight there. What was that?
11:16Yeah, I was looking for movielet, a little movie, but that wasn't there.
11:19A voicelet is a small, quiet or light voice. It's a voicelet.
11:23Is it really?
11:24Mm.
11:25A voicelet. No.
11:2749 plays 24, and it's Jodine's numbers game.
11:31Now, Jodine?
11:32Can I have two large and four small, please?
11:34You can indeed. Thank you, Jodine.
11:36Two big, four little, and the four little ones are six, ten, four, seven,
11:43and the big two, 150.
11:47And the target, 422.
11:49422.
12:18Jodine?
12:19423.
12:20And one away, Diane?
12:22424.
12:23And 424. Jodine, let's try.
12:26100 times four is 400.
12:29400.
12:30And then I did six of seven is 13.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Add the ten is 23, and add it on for one away. Lovely.
12:38Where's that one, that missing one got to, Rachel?
12:41If you say 100 minus seven is 93,
12:45times by four is 400, sorry, 372,
12:50and then add on the 50 for 422.
12:53Well done. Well done.
12:55APPLAUSE
12:57So, 56 plays 24.
12:59Jodine, well in the lead there.
13:02As we turn to Paul, Paul Zenon,
13:04who's going to talk to us and roll the clock back
13:07and talk about some of the old-time magicians.
13:10Yeah, yesterday I mentioned a few kind of magicians
13:13from the golden era of magic in the sort of Victorian era, really.
13:16Today I want to talk about this guy,
13:19the inscrutable Chung Ling Su.
13:22Chung Ling Su I kind of got interested in as a kid
13:25because I grew up working in a magic shop in Blackpool,
13:28surrounded by his posters,
13:29and they're very kind of colourful, very elegant posters,
13:32and most of the time it's just got his name on it.
13:36You can see written there in smoke or whatever,
13:38so there's no details of venue or theatre,
13:40but he was famous enough at that point
13:42that people would just kind of know he'd be on at the biggest venue
13:45and turn up there.
13:46Occasionally, if he had any words at all,
13:48it'd be like this one with the Chinese willow pattern plate
13:51with the marvellous Chinese conjurer,
13:53or this quite a nice one with his ten assistants,
13:55the ten referring to his digits, his fingers and thumbs,
13:58although he did actually have about ten assistants on stage as well.
14:01Sometimes he'd have the name of an illusion,
14:04such as the birth of Pearl,
14:06where he'd produce his wife, Sui Xin,
14:08from an empty oyster shell that he'd pour water into.
14:11And he also popularised the Chinese linking rings,
14:14the famous linking ring trick you can see him doing there.
14:17But one very famous trick he did was this one here,
14:21which was Condemned to Death by the Boxers,
14:24which was a version of the bullet catch trick.
14:26And so he had a marked bullet fired from a rifle at him,
14:29and normally you'd see magicians catch it in the teeth,
14:32but he used to catch it on a willow pattern plate on his chest,
14:35and the lead shot would end up rolling around
14:37with someone's initials marked in it.
14:39And this is what he actually looked like.
14:42That was Chung Ling Su.
14:44And he was very, very famous from about the 1900s onwards.
14:47The big star of the musicals, in fact.
14:49He had a very lavish show with all kind of like big silk backdrops
14:53and lovely costumes, lots of assistants, big illusions.
14:56And then one fateful day,
14:58and the reason I'm talking about this today in particular
15:01is that 100 years ago this year, it's actually March 24th, 1918,
15:05he was on stage at the Wood Green Empire Theatre in North London,
15:08and he was finishing the show with the bullet catch trick.
15:11Now, bearing in mind that he'd done a show for many, many years
15:14where he didn't speak on stage, it was always done to music,
15:17and if he spoke at all to the press, he'd use a translator.
15:21So a very mysterious man of the East.
15:23However, this night, they fired the bullets,
15:27and he dropped to his knees and shouted out,
15:30''Something's gone wrong.''
15:32And they dropped the curtain, and five hours later he was dead,
15:35been shot in the lung, and the trick had actually gone horribly wrong.
15:39But the strange thing was, what people didn't quite notice at the time
15:42and couldn't make out, was that he shouted out,
15:44''Something's gone wrong,'' in a kind of Scottish-cum-American accent.
15:48Because it turns out that Chung Ling Su was actually this guy here
15:52without the moustache, a man called William Elmsworth Robinson.
15:56Yeah.
15:57And he was actually born in New York.
15:59His father and mother were Scottish.
16:01They ran a kind of placeable repute-stroke musical tavern.
16:05And he became a magician, but couldn't speak on stage very well,
16:08so he ended up doing an act, first of all as an Indian act,
16:12then as an Egyptian act called Ahmed Ben Ali,
16:14which he'd basically stolen the idea from an act called Ali Bey,
16:17who was actually German anyway.
16:19But then he'd seen a Chinese act, who generally was Chinese,
16:22called Ching Ling Fu.
16:24And Ching Ling Fu, he kind of changed the name of it to Chung Ling Su,
16:27used that name, and went to Paris from America and became famous,
16:31came over to England and worked.
16:33And I suppose the kind of great question is,
16:35even his wife, Sui Sin, for example, was actually called Dot,
16:39but that wasn't a real name either, she was called Olive.
16:42The guy who translated for him, while he was just talking gibberish,
16:45was actually Japanese.
16:47And so after all this, you have to think, well,
16:49the great mystery is what went wrong with the trick.
16:51Some people thought it was suicide,
16:53some people thought it was an assassination or whatever.
16:55It wasn't, it was just misadventure.
16:57But the big mystery to me is how he got away for, you know, 18 years,
17:01considering he looked like that.
17:03He was actually this guy here.
17:05That's the great mystery.
17:07And that's why he's become a sort of fascinating figure.
17:09And I say, 100 years ago this year is when he got shot.
17:12And so tomorrow on the show, I'm going to reproduce one of his tricks,
17:16but not the bullet catch.
17:18APPLAUSE
17:21So he died at work, poor old chap.
17:23He did. Tommy Cooper style, really.
17:26Can't be too careful. Mind you, this is a fairly dangerous place.
17:30So, Jodine on 56, Diane, 24.
17:33And, Diane, it's your letters game now.
17:35Right, can I have a consonant, please?
17:37Thank you, Diane. S.
17:39And another one?
17:41T. And another?
17:43H.
17:45A vowel?
17:47A.
17:49Another one?
17:51I.
17:52And another?
17:54E.
17:56A consonant?
17:58W.
18:00Another one?
18:02D.
18:03And a vowel, please?
18:05And lastly, O.
18:07And the clock starts now.
18:19CLOCK TICKS
18:40Diane.
18:41Six.
18:42A six, Jodine.
18:43Seven.
18:44Diane.
18:45Wasted.
18:46Now then, Jodine.
18:47With the I?
18:48With the I.
18:49Short-waisted. Short-waisted, very good.
18:51Now, Paul and Susie?
18:54There is an eight there, I think, with toe heads.
18:57T-O-W heads.
18:59Yes, simply means somebody with light-coloured or untidy hair.
19:03Toe heads, as opposed to mop heads, which is just long.
19:06Similar idea.
19:07OK, thank you. 63 to 24.
19:09Jodine, your letters game.
19:11Can I have a consonant, please?
19:12Thank you, Jodine.
19:13G.
19:14And another one?
19:16N.
19:18Another one?
19:20Y.
19:21A vowel?
19:23E.
19:24Another vowel?
19:26A.
19:28Another vowel?
19:30O.
19:31Consonant?
19:33K.

19:37D.
19:39And a final vowel, please?
19:41And final U.
19:44Stand by.
20:15Jodine?
20:16Six.
20:17Yes, Diane?
20:18Six.
20:19Jodine?
20:20Donkey.
20:21And?
20:22Yanked.
20:23And yanked?
20:24Yes.
20:25That's two good words, actually.
20:26Paul and Susie?
20:28Yeah, just a seven beyond that, I think, with un-oaked.
20:31Un-oaked?
20:33Of a chardonnay, for example. It might be un-oaked.
20:3669 to 30.
20:38Good score there, Jodine.
20:39And it's Diane's numbers game.
20:41Yes, Diane?
20:42One large and five small, please.
20:44Same as usual. Thank you, Diane.
20:46One from the top, five little.
20:48And these five small ones are
20:50eight, five,
20:53eight, six,
20:56one and 25.
20:59And the target, 923.
21:01923.
21:12MUSIC PLAYS
21:33Diane?
21:34No, sorry, I lost it.
21:36Too far. How about Jodine?
21:38925.
21:39Tell us a little bit about that.
21:41Six multiplied by five is 30.
21:44Six by five is 30.
21:47Eight take away one is seven.
21:49Yeah.
21:50Add them together for 37 and tie them to 25.
21:53925, two away, well done.
21:56So 923, how tricky is that, Rachel?
21:59Eventually, if you say eight minus one is seven,
22:03times five is 35,
22:06times that by 25 is 875,
22:10and then with the other eight times six,
22:12you get 48 to add on for 923.
22:15Oh, well done. Very good.
22:17APPLAUSE
22:19Excellent.
22:20So 76 plays 30, Jodine in the lead,
22:23as we turn to our second tea time teaser,
22:25which is Dirty Talk and the clue.
22:27You may need to think like a sloth to get this.
22:31You may need to think like a sloth to get this.
22:35MUSIC PLAYS
22:41APPLAUSE
22:50Welcome back.
22:51I left with the clue.
22:52You may need to think like a sloth to get this,
22:56which is a tridactyl.
22:59Susie, tridactyl, three-something or others.
23:02Three fingers or, in the case of the sloth, three toes.
23:06Three toes. A three-toed sloth.
23:08Yeah.
23:09Thank you. 76 to 30, Jodine in the lead.
23:12Jodine, it's your letters again.
23:14Can I have a consonant, please?

23:33A consonant?
23:35P.

25:46Yes, Diane?

25:48Jodine?
25:49Jailers.
25:50Yep.
25:51And in the corner, Susie and Paul?
25:53Yep, nothing else there, really.
25:55Only a six with serial, as in killers, that go to jail.
26:01Thank you. 90-37.
26:03And it's Susie we turn to.
26:05Give our contestants a little bit of a rest.
26:07Susie's wonderful origins of words from today, Susie.
26:10I'm going to turn to Kai Wadsworth,
26:12who emailed in to ask about the origin of our surnames.
26:16Your surname, mine, and Rachel's.
26:18So, just to give a little bit of background,
26:21we all love choosing names for our children.
26:24We can't do very much about our surname,
26:26but it doesn't usually matter that much,
26:28unless we're saddled with a particularly difficult one,
26:31but it's a marker of family,
26:33so it's important from that point of view.
26:35But in the past, things were very different.
26:37They were much, much more significant.
26:39And in the 17th century, for example,
26:41the practice arose of baptising children with scriptural phrases,
26:45because it was thought that they would carry, then,
26:48virtue with them throughout their lives.
26:50So there are church records of thankful thought,
26:54repentance water, kill sin pimple,
26:58humiliation hind, that sort of thing.
27:01It wouldn't want to be called humiliation.
27:03But there were some that I'm sure the Puritans wished
27:06had never existed around as well.
27:08So there was black in the mouth, blubber, mad,
27:12measle, peck cheese, and sweat in bed.
27:16But as for our surnames, I'll start with Hugh.
27:19And for that, we need to go back further still.
27:21And this is a time when surnames were just making an entrance to English
27:25around the 12th century.
27:26And the majority of the population were country dwellers
27:29and were craftsmen and women, essentially.
27:32So we have the millers, of course, who were working in the mills,
27:36the tuckers who were fullers, particularly in the south-west.
27:39Those who worked in wood were the wrights.
27:41The makers of wheels were the wheelwrights.
27:44We had the plowwrights who made the plows,
27:47wainwrights who made the wagons or the wains,
27:49cartwrights, etc.
27:51And the hewers, the hewers, they worked, as you know, Nick,
27:54I know, in stone.
27:56They were cutters of wood and stone.
27:58And it's one of the oldest surnames recorded in English,
28:01so it goes back an extremely long way.
28:03As for Riley, that's quite a romantic one.
28:05It's a surname based on place.
28:06It was somebody who lived in a clearing near a field of rye, which I like.
28:10Mine is definitely not romantic.
28:12Either topographical, comes from dent in Yorkshire,
28:15or a nickname from the old French, dent meaning tooth.
28:18So my answer is this might have had very prominent teeth
28:21or were particularly greedy.
28:24Very good.
28:29How interesting.
