00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34On the day way back in 1716, 300 years ago,
00:38one of the great landscape designers, landscape gardeners,
00:42was born in Northumberland, none other than Lancelot Brown.
00:46Lancelot Brown, who became known as Capability.
00:50Why Capability? Because he used to wander round,
00:53not gardens as much as great parks, and say,
00:56I think this park has got capability.
00:59And so he became known as Capability Brown,
01:02and he was responsible for something like 170 great gardens,
01:06great estates, places like Harewood House, Burley House,
01:09Chatsworth, Blenheim, and of course Highclere,
01:12which became famous for the setting for Downton Abbey.
01:16But earlier in the summer I went to the Chelsea Flower Show,
01:19where I ran into one of our favourite guests, Gloria Hunneford,
01:22who's here today.
01:24The one that fascinated me most of all really was on the Loire Valley,
01:27one of those great chateaus called Villandry.
01:29And the piece de resistance of Villandry is the vegetable garden,
01:33which set out as a great tableau, a great sort of work of art, really.
01:37Rows and rows of cabbages in perfect lines in all sorts of designs.
01:41Extraordinary, really. How about gardens? Are you a gardener?
01:44I haven't got a garden, but it's lovely, isn't it?
01:46Especially in London, you can just go to any of the parks.
01:48Sure. And there's some beautiful ones.
01:50Regent's Park I went to recently with some friends.
01:52And when it's a nice sunny day and everyone's there...
01:54Lovely.
01:55..and there's roses and all the bright colours when they're out, it's gorgeous.
01:58We're lucky with our parks, actually.
02:00We're very lucky, yeah. We don't have to do anything.
02:02Just pay your council tax and they make it all beautiful for you.
02:04In you go. In you go. Do you cycle around Hyde Park?
02:07Yeah, any of the parks. It's lovely.
02:09You get away from the traffic and you've got the wild fowl and the people
02:13and it's a lovely atmosphere.
02:14Yeah, right. Lovely.
02:16Now, Martin Hirst is back. Had a tremendous win yesterday, 111 points.
02:20Three wins under his belt, three wins and counting.
02:23And you're joined, Martin, by young Tom Law,
02:26sixth-form student from Sevenoaks in Kent, 17 years old,
02:30referees football at the weekends,
02:32but he has to put up with being bombarded with abuse from the sidelines.
02:36Tom, what's going on?
02:38Oh, it's all the pushy parents. It's not so much the kids.
02:41It's more the competitive parents on the sidelines.
02:45That's unattractive, isn't it?
02:47Are they pushing their children or abusing you
02:50for a decision that you've just taken, or what?
02:53Mainly towards me for making the right decision.
02:57Well done. Well done.
02:59And you also coach rugby league at your school in Kent.
03:03And why rugby league? What's your passion for rugby league?
03:07Well, I started watching it a few years back,
03:09just originally to annoy some friends who loved Union.
03:13OK.
03:15But it's grown on me, it's become my favourite sport,
03:18and I just want other kids to have the opportunity to play it.
03:22The two sports have become closer and closer together, don't you think?
03:25They're two completely different games.
03:27Yes, which look quite similar.
03:29Now, let's have a big round of applause for Tom,
03:32young Tom Law, and Martin Hurst.
03:34There we go.
03:38And over the corner, Susie.
03:40Over the corner is Susie, and I mentioned that Gloria,
03:43they bumped into each other at the Chelsea Flower Show.
03:45I have been trawling round, following you, really.
03:47Actually, you were talking about vegetables there,
03:50and it just reminded me of an old Mary Lloyd,
03:52because you're old enough to remember Mary Lloyd, aren't you?
03:55Yes.
03:56And the Lord Chancellor took offence at a song she was singing.
03:59She said, the song went,
04:01She Sits Amongst the Cabbages and Peas,
04:03and he says, You can't say that.
04:05No, you can't do that, you have to change the words.
04:07She said, OK.
04:09So the next song was, She Sits Amongst the Cabbages and Leeks.
04:12Yes!
04:14Well done.
04:15Now, then, Martin, let's see what sort of form you're in today.
04:17It's a letters game.
04:18Hi, Rachel. Hi, Martin.
04:19Can I have a vowel, please? Thank you.

05:27Tip to roll.
05:29Well done, Martin. Good Countdown word, that one.
05:32Anything else?

07:01And the same.
07:02There we go.
07:03Well done.
07:05Any more police?
07:06A funny mixture of letters, really.
07:08We didn't get anything.
07:09In fact, you've come up with a word.
07:11I thought that was just a name of somebody.
07:13So what does it mean?
07:14Yes, it's a typical Australian slang.
07:16For a conductor on a bus or a tram, they call them the connie.
07:19So C-O-N-N-I-E is to give you another six.
07:23But couldn't push it any further.
07:25That's it?
07:26Yeah.
07:27All right. 14 plays six.
07:29And Martin, first numbers game.

10:36Yes, the priest, Roman Catholic priest, Cassock.
10:39Soutane, very good.
10:41Very good. Anything else?
10:44When I get a glass of wine, I could do this, actually.
10:47Well, the word I've come up with is outsang.
10:49But when I get going on wine, I could outsang anybody.
10:52LAUGHTER
10:54Right, we must test that, then, one day.
10:57Susie, anything else?

12:10Yes, Martin?
12:12A six with a seven.
12:14Tom?
12:15Risky nine.
12:17Right, Martin, let's deal with this first.
12:19Rations.
12:20Tom?
12:21Law.
12:22Raptions.
12:24Susie?
12:25I'm just having it.
12:26R-A-P-T-I-O-N-S.
12:2838.
12:30Oh.
12:31But it's not there, I'm afraid, Tom.
12:34Rations without the P is the way to go.
12:36Bad luck.
12:37Sorry.
12:38The Brave Tribe.
12:39Now, what can we have?
12:41Very little else except Patrons for seven.
12:44Yes.
12:45Susie?
12:46Yes, no, we think there might be something longer,
12:48but we can't find it at the moment. Patrons for seven.
12:51So, in other words, we're useless in this one.
12:53Yes.
12:54All right. 38 plays 16, and Tom.
12:57Can I have two large and four small, please?

14:11As we turn to Gloria.
14:13Gloria.
14:14What?
14:15What have you got for us?
14:16Well, I haven't seen the colour of my hair really
14:18since I was about 17,
14:20so I can't tell you what it really is underneath.
14:22It's probably grey by now.
14:23But one of my grandsons loves, I mean,
14:25a bit like Tom's age group, right?
14:27Love the blonde jokes, don't they?
14:29You know, over dinner or something.
14:30So he told me this one, which I quite liked recently.
14:32He said, this chap went into a local pub,
14:35and the barman said,
14:36do you want to hear my latest blonde joke?
14:38And he said, sure.
14:39He said, however, before you tell it,
14:41I would point out that my wife was just sitting over there,
14:44and she was a black belt in judo, and she's blonde,
14:47and the woman next to her is her mother.
14:49And years back, she was in Japan,
14:51and she was a sumo wrestler, and she's blonde.
14:54And her sister, a real expert on karate
14:57and some other sport, martial art, and she's blonde.
15:00So he said to the barman, do you still want to tell it?
15:03And the barman went, no.
15:04He said, I don't want to have to explain it three times.
15:07LAUGHTER
15:11One of his better jokes.
15:12Well done. All right. Thank you.
15:1448, please. Tom's 26.

16:23Tom?
16:24I only have a four.
16:25And that four?
16:27Wine.
16:28Now, then?
16:29For Rachel United.
16:31She'll be pleased about that.
16:33Now, what have we got? Gloria, Susie?
16:36Um, I was just working on twinned.
16:38Yes.
16:39Is that OK?
16:40Excellent. Yeah, that will get you to a seven.

18:13They are trees found in the arid regions of southern Africa.
18:17Very bitter-tasting leaves.
18:19Good word. Very good.
18:21I think Susie better explain this one.
18:24Yes, well, we have simian, which is ape-like,
18:28but also for an eight, rampions.
18:31They are plants of the bellflower family
18:34and you can eat some of them in salads.
18:36I see. Some kinds.
18:38Now we know.
18:39Now I know indeed.
18:42OK, and it's numbers.

19:48Seven minus five, two.
19:50Times them together.
19:51Times them together for 52.
19:53And seven plus the other one is eight.
19:55And then you haven't used any of those.
19:57Lovely. 416.

22:06Martin? Saluted.
22:08Saluted. There we go.
22:10Can we beat it? I'm laughing.
22:12I'm really laughing because I started off with a simple one
22:14because we're going through it on latex.
22:16Yes. Don't ask me why.
22:18And then you got adulterers.
22:21Oh, adulterers, actually.
22:23That's an old form of adulterer, so it means the same thing.
22:26But you can have that for eight.
22:28Yes.
22:30And if you go down one to luxated for seven,
22:32not the same as luxuriated,
22:34it means to dislocate of a joint, for example.
22:37Very good. Well done.
22:39Well done, Gloria. 78 plays 26.

23:51Thank you, Martin.
23:53Motives.
23:55Yep.
23:57Now then, Gloria, Susie?
23:59Hoisted.
24:01Hoisted? Yes. Very good.
24:03For a seven. Yep.
24:05And Susie?
24:07I'm now for a fashionable dressmaker.
24:09A modiste. A modiste.
24:11Never heard of that, have you? No.
24:13It's unlikely to be around these days, I think.
24:15Thank goodness for the dictionary.
24:17Indeed. 85 plays 26
24:20as we return to the great Susie Dent
24:23for her origins of words.
24:25Today, Susie?
24:27Well, I've been chatting with Gloria
24:29and I've always known Gloria as a broadcaster.
24:31I had no idea that she was a very successful singer before.
24:35Well, you've had your own albums.
24:37Well, I've only discovered today
24:39that the gentleman who wrote the music for Countdown
24:42wrote a single, excuse me, a single for me,
24:45that got into the Northern Ireland charts
24:47that actually led to coming into broadcasting.
24:49Really? So there's the connection.
24:51Yes, Alan Hawkshaw wrote the Countdown theme tune. It's amazing.
24:54But anyway, so I've been thinking about albums
24:56because Gloria has her own.
24:58Did you buy it, by the way, Nick, when I brought that album out?
25:01I brought two. Did you? Good.
25:04Get them on eBay now for a quid.
25:08Yesterday I was talking about ancient writing implements
25:11and I mentioned the stylus, which was a pointed instrument
25:15used for scratching, literally scratching letters
25:18on a wax-covered tablet.
25:21And also at the other end, it had a sort of blunt end
25:24so that you could obliterate what you'd just written,
25:26which is probably the earliest form of an eraser.
25:28But tablets are something very, very different, of course, these days.
25:32It actually comes from the Latin meaning a little table.
25:35And originally they were just that, they were very, very big,
25:38nothing like the wonderful tablets that we have these days.
25:41And public notices would be written and displayed on these tablets
25:45so people could come up to them and have a look.
25:47It was like the public message board.
25:49They had them in the forum and they had them all around in Roman society.
25:54And an album was also exactly this.
25:58It also referred to a tablet,
26:00the same sort of tablet on which these public notices were displayed.
26:03Of course, they started off blank,
26:05nothing was written on them to begin with, and they were white.
26:08And the Latin for white was albus, which gave us both albium,
26:13the name for England because of the white cliffs of Dover,
26:15it gave us albium in egg white,
26:17and it gave us the albums, the music albums,
26:20that Gloria knows all about.
26:23So, I don't know, lovely sort of trail through history there.
26:27Folio referred to a book of a very large size.
26:30It comes from the Latin for leaf.
26:32A volume is from a roll because it was a roll of papyrus or parchment
26:37that was wrapped for convenience around a spindle
26:40and, of course, people would write on them.
26:42And finally, we had Dictator as our lovely teatime teaser.
26:46A dictionary is a record of what people say.
26:49It goes back to the Latin dicere,
26:51and it's related to dictator, weirdly,
26:53even though dictionaries never dictate what you should say.
26:56It's also linked to ditto, say again,
26:58contradiction, verdict, everywhere in English.
27:01But I love the fact that an album was originally white
27:04and I love the fact that Gloria published one.
27:06And, of course, she had a white label also on albums and on singles as well,
27:10so that white sort of carried on.
27:12And what I find interesting about albums,
27:14I still have got a lot of vinyl from my radio job days,
27:18but the young people, all my grandchildren, maybe Tom's the same,
27:21they love vinyl now.
27:24So what is it about vinyl?
27:26Is it the quality? What is it that makes them so attractive?
27:29I know from my own point of view,
27:31I mean, we were talking about books yesterday,
27:33and I love a book rather than a piece of technology.
27:36And similarly, I'm not saying that I enjoy the albums more than a CD,
27:40but I would never, ever part with my album collection.
27:43So I've loved it when my grandchildren and I go,
27:46can I have something with a stylus that'll play me a piece of vinyl?
27:51So it's something about holding it...
27:53I don't know, there's something about...
27:55And the front cover and the history on the back,
27:57and it was wonderful. I love them.
27:59Indeed. All right, well done.
28:01So 85 for Martin. Tom on 26 as we turn to Tom for a letters game. Tom.

32:26Lovely. Same result.
32:27There we go. All right.
32:29APPLAUSE
32:31So, blistering score for Martin.
32:33120, 120. Tom on 36.
32:36No bad thing there.
32:38Let's get to... You're both fingers on buzzers.
32:40Let's get to the Countdown Conundrum.
32:43Let's reveal it now.
32:48Martin Hurst.
32:50Profanity.
32:51Profanity. Let's see whether you're right.
32:54Here it comes. Profanity.
32:56Fantastic.
32:59My word, that's amazing.
33:01130, the highest score this series.
33:04Tremendous score.
33:06No shame in getting 36.
33:08In fact, 36 is a very good score,
33:10cos this guy's heading onward and upward.
33:12He's got four wins.
33:14So, Tom, back to football and rugby league.
33:18Good luck with converting the south of England to rugby league.
33:21Take this goody bag.
33:22And our very best wishes.
33:24Thank you. Well done.
33:25And, Martin, we look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
33:29Tremendous performance. Well done. Well done indeed.
33:31What do you make of that, then?
33:33Well, that was amazing.
33:34I'll bump into Tom in the supermarket, no doubt, one day,
33:37cos I live in Sevenoaks as well.
33:39Shall I?
33:40Yes, I shall say hello, Tom, and well done.
33:42After you were talking just very quickly at the top of the programme
33:45about Capability Brown and Chatsworth House,
33:48and I remember doing a programme there once,
33:50and the old duchess, I said to her,
33:52how big is the house, how many rooms does it have?
33:54And she said, Darling, I think it has about 120, something like that.
33:58So she said, Do you know, I lost my handbag once,
34:00and she said, I didn't find it for six months.
34:04There we are.
34:05See you tomorrow?
34:06Definitely.
34:07See you tomorrow, Susie, too.
34:08See you tomorrow, Nick, yes.
34:09Brilliant stuff.
34:10Well, I think we could be looking at a little bit of an OctoChamp here.
34:13I think with these kind of scores, and I'm having nothing to do, as predicted.
34:16Fantastic.
34:17May it continue. Thank you, Martin.
34:18All right. Peaceful day tomorrow. We'll see you then.
34:20See you then.
34:21Same time, same place. You'll be sure of it.
