00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34It's Thursday and it's officially the first day of autumn
00:37so we've got to start looking for those jumpers and logs for the fire
00:41and all that carry-on. Summer's over, summer's over.
00:44But, you know, the autumn can be, the early autumn, certainly,
00:47can be the most beautiful of times. What was it Keith said?
00:50It was a season of mist and mellow fruitfulness,
00:53close bosom friend to the maturing sun.
00:56It's lovely. I love it as long as it's not raining.
00:59But there we are. Summer is over and I had a great summer.
01:03I spent some time with my son and his family.
01:05It was lovely to spend time with young children when you're my age, certainly.
01:09What about yours? Do you have any highlights of your summer?
01:12I spent a lot of my summer organising hen-doos, going on hen-doos
01:15and being a bridesmaid at weddings.
01:17Oh, you had a batch. You had four in a weekend or something?
01:20I was a bridesmaid twice in one weekend, yeah.
01:22Lovely. Now then, Rich, we've got Jamie back.
01:25Jamie, student from Huddersfield, trained to be an English teacher,
01:28vying for his sixth win today
01:30after banging an impressive five victories in your run so far.
01:34Well done, Jamie Washington. You've done really well.
01:37Are you feeling strong? It's a draining experience.
01:41People think, oh, it's a breeze because they're all doing it at home
01:44but they haven't got a big clock behind them.
01:46They haven't got the studio lights
01:48and they haven't got a great competitor breathing down your neck.
01:51Exactly. So good luck.
01:53Now, the competitor breathing down your neck today is Tim Martin,
01:56sales manager, originally from Western Supermare but now living in Pontypridd.
02:00Black belt in taekwondo.
02:03Yes, at the age of 48 I managed to grab that.
02:07I started when I was 15 and left and then finished it off a couple of years ago.
02:12Well done, well done.
02:13I'm an old man.
02:14Well, not really.
02:16Now, I understand that you once thought, I don't know,
02:19I think I'll have a crack in America, see if I can get a job there.
02:21What happened?
02:22Yes, well, I tried to move over there in 1990 to California with a friend of mine.
02:28We couldn't get a green card after a couple of months, three months,
02:32and we decided rather than fly home, we'll try and hitchhike right across America.
02:37So we went up the west coast to Portland and then made it all the way to New York.
02:41So this was a long way around, is it?
02:43How many miles was that?
02:44It was around about 5,000.
02:46Really?
02:47And it was an experience that I'll never forget.
02:50Well done and good luck to you today.
02:52A big round of applause for Tim Martin and Jamie Washington.
03:00And over in the corner, Susie, of course, joined once again by Helen Fospero,
03:04TV and radio reporter and presenter.
03:06Welcome back, Helen.
03:07Thank you very much.
03:08And let's get down to business, shall we?
03:10Jamie?
03:11Start with a consonant, please.
03:13Thank you, Jamie.
03:14Start today with N.
03:16And another?
03:18T.
03:20And a third?
03:21X.
03:23And a vowel?
03:25O.
03:27And another?
03:28E.
03:30And a third?
03:32O.
03:33And a consonant?
03:35T.
03:37And another consonant?
03:40G.
03:41And a final vowel, please?
03:43And a final U.
03:45And here comes the Countdown Clock.
04:09CLOCK TICKS
04:18Jamie?
04:19A six.
04:20A six. Tim?
04:21Six.
04:22Tongue.
04:23And?
04:24And tongue.
04:25There we go, just consult each other.
04:27Now, Helen?
04:28Three tongues.
04:29Three tongues, lucky you.
04:31And Susie?
04:33There is a seven there, it's a slightly strange one
04:36and possibly archaic now, but outgone.
04:39If you outgo someone or something, you go faster than them.
04:43And so outgone would be the past participle.
04:45Indeed.
04:46Thank you very much, well done, well done indeed.
04:48So, six points apiece and it's Tim's letter game.
04:52Hi, Rachel.
04:53Hi, Tim.
04:54Nice to see you in the Liverpool colours today.
04:56We're a slightly different shade, actually, Tim.
04:59Can I start with a consonant, please?
05:01Thank you, start with L.
05:03And a consonant?
05:04We're going to end up with FC now, aren't we?
05:06S.
05:07Consonant.
05:09Q.
05:10Consonant.
05:12N.
05:13Vowel.
05:15E.
05:16Vowel.
05:18U.
05:20Vowel.
05:22A.
05:23Consonant.
05:25C.
05:27And another consonant, please.
05:30And lastly, M.
05:32Stand by.
06:03Tim.
06:05Six.
06:06And...
06:07A safe six.
06:08And a safe six.
06:09Tim.
06:10Camels.
06:11And...
06:12A squeal.
06:13And squeal.
06:15Yes.
06:16Fuck, squeal.
06:18Squeal was a six, that was my six.
06:20That's it, and...
06:22Qualms were there as well.
06:25Macules were there for seven, which are areas of skin discolouration.
06:30And also clacks, meaning quite similar to cliques,
06:34but clack, C-L-A-Q-U-E, is a group of sycophantic followers.
06:39So, hangs on, really.
06:41All right.
06:42Similar to a clique?
06:44Similar to a clique, but I think slightly more derogatory.
06:47A clack.
06:48A clack.
06:49Good word, isn't it? Clack.
06:51Very good, thank you.
06:52All right, 12 apiece, and it's numbers for Jamie.
06:55One large and five small, please, Rachel.
06:57Thank you, Jamie.
06:58One large, five little coming up for you.
07:01And for the first time today, the numbers are six, five, ten,
07:06three, another three, and 75.
07:10And the target, 907.
07:12907.
07:28CLOCK TICKS
07:44Jamie?
07:45908. Not fully written down.
07:48All right, how about Gem?
07:49906.
07:51906.
07:53So, Jamie?
07:54Six divided by three for two.
07:56Yep.
07:57Gem?
07:58Add the ten.
07:5912.
08:00Times 75.
08:01900.
08:02And add the five and the other three.
08:04Yeah, well done, one away.
08:06And Tim?
08:07906.
08:08Five minus three is two.
08:10Yep.
08:11Plus the ten.
08:12The 12 again.
08:13Times 75, and then plus the six.
08:14Or 900 again, and you're one away.
08:16The other way, lovely.
08:17They're straddling it.
08:19907?
08:20Yep.
08:22You could have said 75 minus five is 70.
08:2610 plus three, 13.
08:29Times them together for 910, and take away the other three.
08:32907.
08:33That's the way it's done.
08:34Thank you, Rachel.
08:35APPLAUSE
08:37Well done.
08:38So, 19 apiece as we turn to our first Tea Time teaser,
08:41which is Gem Bride.
08:43And the clue...
08:44The bride looked an absolute gem, but her dress was dirty.
08:48The bride looked an absolute gem, but her dress was dirty.
08:52APPLAUSE
09:07Welcome back. I left with the clue...
09:09The bride looked an absolute gem, but her dress was dirty.
09:13And the answer is that it was begrimed.
09:16Begrimed.
09:18So, 19 apiece, and it's Tim's letters game now, then.
09:21Tim.
09:22Consonant, please.
09:23Thank you, Tim.

10:24Yes, Tim?
10:25Six.
10:26A six.
10:27Jemmy?
10:28A six.
10:29Tim?
10:30Poster.
10:31And?
10:32Jester.
10:33Jester. Poster and jester. Helen, Susie?
10:35We found jester too, and also probes for six.
10:39I was looking for strobes, but I don't think there's enough Ss, are there?
10:42No.
10:43A strobe you could have.
10:44A strobe.
10:45Yeah. But just sixes, Nick, so very well done.
10:47We've only got more than that at home.
10:4925 apiece. Closer on Thing here.
10:51Jamie. It's a letters game.
10:53Let's have a consonant, please, Rachel.
10:55Thank you, Jamie. F
10:57And another?
10:59T
11:00And another?

11:20And a final G.
11:22Jan Baehm.
11:48MUSIC CONTINUES
11:55Jamie.
11:56Just a five.
11:57A five. Tim?
11:59Dodgy seven.
12:01Right. Could be a breakaway.
12:03Jamie?
12:04Unites.
12:06Tim Martin.
12:07Gufting.
12:09Gufting.
12:11That sounds like a good dialect word.
12:13Um...
12:15It's not in the dictionary, I'm afraid.
12:17I'm sorry.
12:19Worth a shot, maybe. Could have been exciting.
12:21Now, then, Helen.
12:23I think we have a safe six. Nugget.
12:25Indeed. And nugget.
12:27A double G. Yes.
12:29And?
12:30Again, another really tricky one, this one.
12:32That's it?
12:33Our tops, yes.
12:34A golden nugget.
12:35Yes.
12:36Where does nugget come from, I wonder?
12:38I will tell you.
12:40It is from a dialect word.
12:42Nug, meaning lump.
12:44Where does it come from?
12:46We have not yet discovered. Unknown, it says.
12:49All right, 30 plays, 25.
12:51Jamie's made the breakaway and it's Tim's numbers game now.
12:54Tim?
12:55Two from the top, please, Rachel.
12:57Thank you, Tim. Two big and four little ones.
13:00And this round is...
13:02eight.
13:03Another eight.
13:04Five, two, and the large one, 75 and 50.
13:08And the target to reach, 157.
13:11157.
13:12MUSIC
13:16MUSIC
13:43Yes, Tim?
13:44Yes.
13:45158 and?
13:46158.
13:47Both on 158.
13:48Tim?
13:4975 times two?
13:50Is 150.
13:52Plus the eights.
13:534158, one away.
13:56Yeah, same way.
13:57There we go.
13:58So we rely on, Rachel, 157.
14:01It was there.
14:02If you say eight divided by eight is one,
14:05add to the 75 before you times it by two,
14:08you get 152 and you can add the five on for 157.
14:12There we go, 157. Well done.
14:14APPLAUSE
14:16So, Tim, still adrift just by five points, 37 to his 32,
14:20as we turn to Helen.
14:22And I know that as a journalist,
14:24you love getting stuck into powerful stories
14:26and last time you were here,
14:28you talked passionately about saving British pubs.
14:31Good for you on that score,
14:33but have you covered any pieces recently that have moved you?
14:36Yeah, I'm still saving pubs, which is great,
14:39and did an hour special on that earlier in the year.
14:41But the great thing about the work I do for The One Show
14:44is telling real-life stories,
14:46and you do meet some incredible people.
14:48And I think one of the people who really, really stands out from this year
14:51is a lady from Northern Ireland called Clodagh,
14:54who's in her early 30s,
14:56and she was the most incredible policewoman.
14:58She beat 699 other, mainly men,
15:02to get into the equivalent in Northern Ireland of the riot squad.
15:06Very, very fit, very healthy,
15:09and highly trained in firearms.
15:11And in April last year,
15:13Clodagh, out of the blue, suffered a massive stroke,
15:17and in fact her family thought they were going to lose her.
15:20And what happened to Clodagh is she got what's known as locked-in syndrome,
15:24so her body was paralysed,
15:26and her brain and mind was fully active,
15:29but she couldn't communicate.
15:31And nobody realised,
15:33I suppose it's being buried alive underground,
15:36nobody realised that in her mind she was still all there
15:39and couldn't get through to her family.
15:41So lying in her hospital, her family weeping at the bedside,
15:44trying to see what had happened to her,
15:47and she couldn't speak to them or move or reach out to them.
15:50And eventually they realised that her mind was fully active
15:53and she started communicating by blinking.
15:56And eventually, after three months of blinking her messages through
16:00and using, much like the book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,
16:04using a spelling board,
16:07she started to communicate
16:09and began to get tiny bits of movement back.
16:12And now she's taught herself to walk again,
16:16she's speaking, she's had to relearn to speak,
16:19and on the year anniversary of the stroke,
16:22she felt that she wanted to do something to mark it,
16:25to mark her recovery.
16:27So she sent me photographs of her skydiving,
16:29and I had an email this week to say that, by Christmas,
16:32she'll be back at work as a police officer
16:34and she's hoping to be armed again and live a full life.
16:38But it was the most remarkable story and most remarkable recovery
16:42because often people who suffer locked-in syndrome
16:45never come out of it.
16:47And she's a determined lady, she's an inspiring lady,
16:51and, yeah, she really touched my world.
16:53And I feel I made a friend, actually, on that story,
16:56and we keep in touch now, which is lovely.
16:58What a story.
16:59And what would you say, you know, really triggered her recovery?
17:05Almost to where she's, you know...
17:07I think absolute, sheer determination.
17:10I mean, she was lucky, and she'll tell you she was lucky
17:12because some people with determination,
17:14it doesn't mean to say you can get out of this locked-in state,
17:17it's very, very unusual.
17:19But once she started getting some movement back
17:22and starting to be able to make some sounds,
17:25she was just absolutely determined that she would make a recovery.
17:28And she spends hours a day doing exercises
17:31and trying to get her muscles working again.
17:33She's still walking with a stick, but she can walk two miles now,
17:37and it only happened a year last April, so it's been extraordinary.
17:41She's an extraordinary lady.
17:43And it just makes you feel so lucky and blessed about your life.
17:47I mean, her life changed in a second or two.
17:50Well, good for you. And good for Clodagh. God bless Clodagh.
17:53Brilliant stuff. Thank you very much.
17:55APPLAUSE
17:57Amazing. Amazing.

26:09We can, indeed. There was an eight in there.
26:11Mistreat.
26:12Mistreat. Very good.
26:14All right, 73-61.
26:16And, Susie, we're back with you for your wonderful origins of words.
26:21And today, Susie...
26:23Today I have to thank Gareth Evans,
26:25who sent in an email and asked where the word snob comes from.
26:30And it's a good question, actually,
26:32and it's had a slightly security story, like so many words in English.
26:35If you go to the British slang of the 1700s and 1800s,
26:39a shoemaker was often called a snob.
26:42The origin of the word has been lost in time.
26:45It's very elusive. It may have started as a dialect word,
26:48but quite what its exact origins are, we're not sure.
26:51But the use of snob for a cobbler is still alive in some dialects today,
26:55and it's an entirely neutral term, so no offence was taken at all.
26:58But then, as we know, everything changed.
27:01Because the shoemaker's trade was once considered a very low calling,
27:05by the 1830s, the cobbler had become applied as a generic term
27:09to all sort of lower classes, if you like.
27:12So a cobbler was seen as a peasant, if you like, or the equivalent of.
27:16And they contrasted with the nobs, so the aristocrats,
27:20who took their name, again, from another dialect word, nab, K-N-A-B,
27:25another word which has been lost over time
27:29in terms of where exactly it came from.
27:31But for a while, it was the nobs versus the snobs.
27:34The nobs were at the top end, and the snobs were considered to be at the lower end.
27:38But even then, snob was showing signs of changing yet again,
27:41from membership of the lower classes,
27:43to somebody who was desperately trying to climb their way up to the higher ones.
27:47So a social climber who took on airs of refinement and airs and graces
27:52without actually having the rank, if you like, to justify them.
27:56And I'll just finish with aristocracy,
27:58because the origin of that word is actually aristo meaning the best,
28:03and then cresi meaning ruler.
28:05So it was rule by the best.
28:07It was originally government by the best citizens, a meritocracy, if you like,
28:11rather than simply by the ones who were sitting at that top end.
28:15It, again, moved over time.
28:17And should anyone want government by the worst of citizens,
28:20the word for that is kakistocracy.
28:23Ain't life complicated?
28:25Yes, if you want it.
28:26Well done. Thank you. Well done.
28:28APPLAUSE
28:31Very good.

31:14Inferred. Well done. Well done, indeed.
31:16Excellent. Yep.
31:18All right, 87 to 75.
31:20Tim on 75.
31:22Two good players here, my word.
31:24Now, it's numbers time for you, Tim.
31:26Two from the top, please, Rachel.
31:28Two from the top. And this is still winnable, thank you, Tim.
31:31Two from the top and four from the bottom.
31:33And for the final time today, the numbers are seven, two, nine,
31:37another nine, and the large ones, 50 and 100.
31:41And the target, 683.
31:44683.

32:03603.
32:06603.
32:09603.
32:13Well, Tim?
32:16Oh, I've gone blank.
32:18Um...
32:20Breaks my heart.
32:22To move to you, Jamie.
32:24682.
32:26682.
32:28So, 100 times seven, 700.
32:30700.
32:32And nine times two for 18 and take it away.
32:34Yep. 682, one away.
32:36One away. Can you break that for us, Rachel?
32:39Um, I can. If you say 100 plus 50 is 150,
32:45times that by nine for 1,350,
32:49and then the other nine plus 716,
32:53add it on for 1,366 and divide it by two.
32:57Oh, well done.
32:59Well done.
33:01Look at that.
33:03So, it's 94 to 75 and it's the final round.
33:07It's fingers on buzzers because we're going to roll
33:09today's countdown conundrum.

33:27Well done.
33:31Terrific. You've got your sixth win.
33:33Yeah.
33:35That was a cracking game.
33:37Just at the end, that was such a shame.
33:39But I don't think anybody's given Jamie Washington
33:42such a, you know, close run thing, actually.
33:45So, congratulations to you, Tim.
33:47Thank you. Well done. Take this goodie bag
33:49back to Pontypridd with you.
33:51Thank you. Thank you very much. Good player.
33:53Good player. We shall see you on Monday.
33:55Yeah. Because we're going to Newmarket Racing until then.
33:59But we'll see you on Monday. Have a good rest.
34:01I will do. Yeah?
34:03We'll see you both in the corner, Helen and Susie, on Monday.
34:06You will, then. See them.
34:08There we go. And who knows?
34:10Next week, we shall see, perhaps,
34:12Jamie Washington as an octo-champ.
34:14Absolutely. All right.
34:16So, join us again on Monday, same time, same place.
34:18You'll be sure of it. A very good afternoon.
