00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:04APPLAUSE
00:31Hello, everybody. It's that time of the day
00:33when you put yourself at the hands of a random selection
00:36of numbers or letters and curse yourself
00:38when you miss an easy target or a simple seven-letter word.
00:42Rachel Riley, looking forward to today,
00:44after the history of yesterday with Tom Stevenson. Wow.
00:48Oh, I know, yeah.
00:49I think that both contestants today will be glad
00:51that he's out of the way. Exactly right.
00:53It's a win already that you don't have to face him.
00:55We've got Pat Nevin in the Dictionary Corner.
00:57He got the witness history and I should say,
00:59cos I've been giving him a bit of stick,
01:01he is my favourite football ponder because he's insightful,
01:05he's intelligent, but he explains it in a way
01:07that a silly person like me can understand it.
01:10That's the key. Who's your favourite?
01:12I think for entertainment value, I mean, I like Roy Keane.
01:15Yes. Oh, yeah. I love watching Ted Lassner.
01:18I don't know if you know the character Roy Kent.
01:20Just aggressive, he's exactly what he means
01:22and everyone wants to watch him and it's clearly Keane-o,
01:25so he's my favourite.
01:26Well, listen, only one decision matters on Countdown
01:29and it's that made by our G of the D, Susie Dent.
01:32And as I've already said, let's keep it short
01:34because he doesn't deserve two intros, it's Pat Nevin.
01:37APPLAUSE
01:39Right, two new contestants for us today in the Countdown seats.
01:43Peter, you've been given the champion's chair by Drawing of Lots.
01:47How are you, sir? Very well, thank you.
01:49Good. Stockport lad. Not your first quiz show, though?
01:52No, I've been on Family Fortunes in the...
01:56I think it was in the 70s or the 80s, I can't remember now.
01:59It's that long ago.
02:00The Family That Beat Us, Les asked a question
02:04and you have to give an immediate answer,
02:06which was, where would you stand in the queue?
02:08The front.
02:09Well, the answer was, like, at a bus stop or at the cinema.
02:13So, there you go.
02:14Absolutely brilliant.
02:15I think I may have seen that clip in one of the bloopers.
02:18Absolutely fantastic.
02:19Well, you're up against Bill Franklin from Lutterworth
02:23and Pat's going to love this because he loves his music,
02:27but you spent about 25 years dealing in vinyl.
02:31Yeah.
02:32So, what's that entail? What do you do?
02:34Oh, I went round the universities with a record store
02:37and music festivals.
02:38Yeah.
02:39That's what I used to do until downloading arrived
02:41and I've got a taxi now.
02:42But the vinyl will never die.
02:44I couldn't live without my record collection.
02:46Something special. Do you still play vinyl?
02:48Yeah, yeah.
02:49Have to.
02:50Right, good luck to Peter and Bill.
02:54Peter, you're going to pick us off.
02:56Let's put a needle on it and get nine letters.
02:59I'll start with a vowel, please, Rachel.
03:01Thank you, Peter.
03:03E
03:04And a consonant.
03:06L
03:08And a vowel.
03:10A
03:12And a consonant.
03:13T
03:15And a vowel.
03:16O
03:18And a consonant.
03:20M
03:21And a vowel.
03:23A
03:25And a consonant.
03:28G
03:29And another consonant.
03:30And lastly, N.
03:32At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
03:47MUSIC PLAYS
04:05Pens down, Peter.
04:07Six.
04:08And Bill?
04:09Six.
04:10Well done, both of you. Peter, what's your word?
04:12Montage.
04:13That's a seven.
04:15Seven letters there. And Bill?
04:17Magnet.
04:18Well, he's even better than he thinks, Peter,
04:20but that's Countdown.
04:21You have to declare the amount of letters that's in your word.
04:24That's the golden rule.
04:25So, early jitters, but a good seven-letter word.
04:27There's good signs there.
04:28Susie and Pat?
04:29You said magnet?
04:30Yeah.
04:31Maybe you should have said magnet.
04:33Magnate.
04:34Yes.
04:35Megaton as well.
04:36Excellent. There you go.
04:37Isn't it great to just watch a Countdown for the first time
04:40and, you know, nearly two weeks,
04:42where both contestants have a chance of winning?
04:44Bill, let's get your nine letters.
04:46Consonant, please, Rachel.

05:49The eight, Peter?
05:50Horniest.
05:51Yes.
05:52And Bill?
05:53Same.
05:54There you go.
05:55Good.
05:56Wow.
05:57A lot to get excited about.
05:58Have you found anything better than that?
06:00Noah's on hairnets, which I thought was a safer option.
06:04And there is a nine there, in fact, with Senorita,
06:08with the L in the middle.
06:11OK, let's all calm down and move on to our first numbers round,
06:15and it'll be Peter picking them.
06:17Two from the top and four little ones, please.
06:20Thank you, Peter.
06:21Two large, four little coming your way.
06:23And the first numbers of the day are six, nine, five, seven,
06:29and the large ones, 25 and 15.
06:32And the first numbers of the day are six, nine, five, seven,
06:37and the large ones, 25 and 50.
06:40And the target to reach...
06:42Oh, dear, 350.
06:44350 numbers up.
07:07MUSIC PLAYS
07:16Right, 350. What have you got, Peter?
07:18I think I've got 350.
07:19Think you might be right. Bill?
07:21I've got 350, I think.
07:22Have you written it down? I have, yeah.
07:24OK, well, let's go with Peter.
07:26Seven times 50.
07:27Done.
07:28Done. Deal.
07:29Bill?
07:3050 times seven.
07:31Oh, right. We'll give you that as well.
07:33Ten points each. You're not getting a round of applause.
07:36Let's go to the first teatime teaser of the day.
07:39Bell fail.
07:40Bell fail. F-A-I-L.
07:43The bell fails to ring, which isn't perfect, really.
07:46The bell fails to ring, which isn't perfect, really.
07:57APPLAUSE
07:59MUSIC PLAYS
08:04Welcome back. Bell fail was your teatime teaser.
08:07The bell fails to ring, which isn't perfect, really.
08:09Fallible. Fallible.
08:11Right, it's going to be a close one today.
08:13Peter and Bill, both newbies.
08:14Bill's got a slight lead, six points to the good,
08:16and you're picking the letters.
08:18Consonant.

08:57MUSIC CONTINUES
09:19Time's up. Bill?
09:20Seven. Seven.
09:21And Peter?
09:22Only five.
09:23What's the five, Peter?
09:24Chance.
09:26Seven from Bill.
09:27Enchant.
09:28There you go, enchant for seven.
09:30Anything better from Pat?
09:31No, enchant's very good.
09:33After me telling him off for not getting the right one last time,
09:36I had chant two, and I didn't get enchant, so you've got me back.
09:41Susie, all good?
09:42Yeah, that's a beautiful one.
09:44There is... I'm not sure it's quite so beautiful,
09:46but its meaning is con-h-c-o-n-n-a-t-e,
09:49which either means the same as innate, so existing in a person,
09:52or in biology, it's about united parts that form a single whole.
09:57OK. Business done with Dictionary Corner.
09:59Get more letters this time from Peter Bowden.
10:01Vowel, please, Rachel.
10:03Thank you, Peter. I.
10:04And a consonant.

10:30Start the clock.
10:51MUSIC
11:02How did you get on, Peter?
11:04Erm, seven.
11:05And Bill?
11:06Seven.
11:07OK, the seventh, Peter?
11:08Er, main gear.
11:09OK. And Bill?
11:10Main gear.
11:11There you go.
11:12Well, we're away in a main gear.
11:14Anything else over there?
11:16No, we've just found a single eight.
11:18Rearming. Providing with new weapons.
11:20Yeah. OK. Right.
11:22Bill firing on all cylinders on 38.
11:24Peter's on 25.
11:26More numbers, and this is your first chance to pick them, Bill.
11:29Er, two large and four small, please, Rachel.
11:31Thank you, Bill.
11:32Another two from the top and four not.
11:34And this time, hopefully something trickier.
11:37We have two, five,
11:39four, seven,
11:4125 and 75.
11:44602. 602.
11:46Numbers up.
12:14BUZZER
12:17602, the target. Peter?
12:19602.
12:20And Bill?
12:21602.
12:22OK, off you go, Peter.
12:23Er, 75 plus 25 is 100.
12:27100.
12:28Four plus two is six.
12:30Yep.
12:31Multiply them together, 600.
12:33Seven minus five is two, and add that on.
12:36602. Nicely done.
12:37Very good. And what about yourself, Bill?
12:39Er, 75...
12:41Well, four plus two is eight.
12:43Say it again.
12:44Sorry, four times two is eight.
12:46Times four times two. Four times two is eight.
12:48Yep. Times 75.
12:49600.
12:50Seven minus five is two.
12:52Yeah, I thought you asked me, I think.
12:54There you go.
12:55APPLAUSE
12:57The numbers have been kind to Peter and Bill so far.
13:00We'll see if that continues a little later.
13:02But let's take a break.
13:03Pat, we've had some really good yarns this week.
13:05You've talked about how football has allowed you to see the world
13:08and changed the scores of football games.
13:10You've talked about those slightly overzealous fans.
13:13What about experiences on the pitch?
13:15And I'm thinking maybe more involving players?
13:17Well, to be fair, one of the great things about football
13:20is you can never know what's going to happen.
13:22That's why people love football.
13:24You think you know what the result might be,
13:26what the outcome's going to be, but, like life, you don't.
13:29And that's why you go along. If you knew what the outcome was...
13:32But a couple of times in my career, I had no idea.
13:35There was one game, playing at Stamford Bridge,
13:37and late on in the game, we'd lost it,
13:39but the ball was played over the top.
13:41But back in the days when there were, you know, hooligans.
13:44And I flicked the ball over the goalkeeper and we scored a goal.
13:47Now, that was fine, except there was a horse in the penalty box
13:51while I'd done this.
13:53Yes, I can see the surprise in your face.
13:56And the police horse had come on during the game,
13:59and as I was running one way, a horse was running the other way.
14:02And the horse was definitely offside.
14:04I had no doubt about it in my mind.
14:06But the referee was so shocked that he actually didn't call it.
14:09But strange things happened.
14:11One of my other favourite ones was playing a Scotland Under-21 game
14:14at Fair Park, Motherwell.
14:16Now, that wasn't yesterday for me.
14:18And halfway through the first half, one of the players,
14:22it was a Mexican player, came up and he head-butted me,
14:24straight in the nose, which is why I've got a big nose, Colin.
14:27OK, mate, it's not...
14:29Now, not only was he sent off,
14:31but the referee had to struggle with a policeman
14:33who was trying to arrest him at the same time, during the game.
14:37And I'm lying on the ground there, and there's a policeman
14:39and a referee tussling, trying to get a hold of this player
14:41to try and arrest him.
14:43So, the wonderful thing about football is,
14:45all the games you play, I've played something like 850 professional games,
14:49you go in and you think you know what's going to happen,
14:53but it never quite does.
14:54Something weird happens.
14:55Not quite as weird as that these days, I'll grant you.
14:57Brilliant. Well, glad the nose is semi-straight now.
15:00Mm-hm. Thank you, Pat.
15:04Just 13 points in it.
15:06Every round counts as we go back to the letters.
15:09And, Peter, you're choosing.
15:10A vowel, please, Rachel.
15:11Thank you, Peter.
15:13O
15:14Consonant.
15:15S
15:16Another vowel.
15:18E
15:20Consonant.
15:21Q
15:22Vowel.
15:23A
15:25Consonant.
15:27S
15:28Vowel.
15:30I
15:31Consonant.
15:33G
15:34And another consonant.
15:35And the last one, L.
15:37Good luck.
16:01Peter?
16:02Six.
16:03And Bill?
16:04Seven.
16:05The six, Peter?
16:06Lassie.
16:07As in the dog?
16:08It's a lassie from Lancashire.
16:09A lassie from Lancashire, OK.
16:11And Bill?
16:12Goalies.
16:13Goalies, there you go.
16:14I'm assuming, Pat, you had that, yeah?
16:17Oh, yes, that was a cracker.
16:19I was desperate for you.
16:20Nothing personal, but I was desperate for you not to get that one, Bill.
16:23Well done.
16:24Well done.
16:25Well done.
16:27Brilliant.
16:28I'm assuming with the Q there,
16:30eight would have been the best if there even was one, Suze.
16:33Oh, no.
16:34Otherwise, just another seven.
16:35A glassie or a glassie.
16:37You could put the G on lassie, which is a marble in local dialect.
16:42OK.
16:43Glass marble.
16:44Very good.
16:45Back of the net.
16:46Let's get some more letters now.
16:48And it's on you, Bill.
16:49Consonant, please, Rachel.
16:53D.

17:04Vowel.
17:05I.
17:06Vowel.
17:07O.
17:08Vowel.
17:09And the last one.
17:11T.
17:12T.
17:13T.
17:14T.
17:15T.
17:16T.
17:17T.
17:18T.
17:19T.
17:20T.
17:21And the last one.
17:22E.
17:23E.
17:24And here we go.
17:51That's a time-up, Bill. Six. And Peter? Six. The six for Bill? Kidder.
18:00Peter? Same word, kidder. There you go, you can't kid a kidder.
18:04What have you got over in Dictionary Corner, Susie and Pat?
18:07The first one I got was deride. That was a good idea.
18:10I think there must be other ones. Is there anything with a Z in it?
18:14You want to get the Zs, don't you? You want to get the IZE, don't you?
18:18Zeroed, if I'm to zero in on something. Eroded.
18:22But we couldn't get beyond a six, Colin. Thank you very much.
18:25Zeroed, kiddo. As we head into another round of numbers.
18:29And you're picking them, Peter.
18:31I'll have two from the top and four from the bottom, please, Rachel.
18:34Two from the top, four from the bottom lot of Littland.
18:38And for the third time today, four smalls are seven, two, one and ten.
18:43And the large ones, 75 and 25.
18:47475, numbers up.
19:18475, the target. Did you hit it, Bill?
19:21No, I lost the plot. I haven't got it either.
19:24All right, we'll go over to Rachel.
19:26You two get your foot ready to kick yourselves, by the way.
19:29I don't know. Pat, were you known for your goal poaching?
19:32I wouldn't want to steal it off you, but I thought it was a pretty easy one.
19:36Is it ten plus two plus seven?
19:38Ten plus two plus seven, 19.
19:4025.
19:41Not just a pretty face, 475.
19:44APPLAUSE
19:47He was a pretty face until that Mexican thumped him.
19:50It's all changed then.
19:52Shall we have a tea time teaser? Why not?
19:54Race, Reef. Race, Reef.
19:57This sort of person is definitely not high maintenance.
20:00This sort of person is definitely not high maintenance.
20:12APPLAUSE
20:16APPLAUSE
20:20Welcome back. Race, Reef. Race, Reef.
20:23This sort of person is definitely not high maintenance.
20:26So the answer wasn't Rachel Riley.
20:28Carefree. Carefree was the answer.
20:30Right, let's get on with this match, because there's plenty of play left.
20:33Just 20 points in it, and I always say it,
20:35the conundrum's a great leveller.
20:37You get within ten, and, you know, we've got a game in our hands.
20:40But, Bill, you're picking these letters.
20:42Consonant, please, Rachel.
20:44Thank you, Bill.
21:08Another vowel, please, Rachel.
21:10And lastly, B.
21:12Start the clock.
21:41MUSIC STOPS
21:43What have you got, Peter?
21:45Seven. And, Bill?
21:47Seven. Seven, OK.
21:49Peter, what's your seven?
21:51Spurter. And, Bill?
21:53Parties. Parties.
21:55And spurter. Two sevens.
21:57No spurter, I'm afraid.
21:59Spurter or sputter, but no spurter.
22:01All right, anything better in Dictionary Corner?
22:04I've got sprites. Is that sprites?
22:06Yes, a little sprite.
22:08I haven't called that before.
22:11There is raptures, or there are raptures there, for eight.
22:14But if you extend that a little bit further,
22:16and you fall into ecstasy, you rapturise.
22:19I'll give you a nine.
22:21Oh, wow, fantastic.
22:26Wonderful. Bill's opened up a healthy lead.
22:28Now, still five rounds to go.
22:30And, Peter, you get to choose the letters.
22:32Vowel, please, Rachel.
22:34Thank you, Peter. A.
22:36And a consonant.
22:38D.
22:39And a vowel.
22:41E.
22:42And a consonant.
22:43R.
22:45Another vowel.
22:47I.
22:48And a consonant.
22:50T.
22:51A vowel.
22:53O.
22:54A consonant.
22:56S.
22:57And another consonant, please.
22:59Looks promising. A final N.
23:02Half a minute.
23:07BUZZER
23:33Intrigued to find out. Peter?
23:35Eight.
23:36And Bill?
23:37I'll try an eight. What are you trying?
23:39Otaries.
23:40Otaries.
23:41And Peter?
23:43Rationed.
23:44Rationed, for sure. But otaries?
23:46No, I'm afraid not.
23:48Not sort of mills that grain, you know, provide the grain,
23:51or oats or whatever.
23:53They're not, they're eateries, but not otaries.
23:55Sorry about that, Bill.
23:56Do any others jump right at you?
23:58Oh, we do, actually. We have some big ones,
24:00because there are a few nines hiding away in there.
24:04Derations.
24:05Yes.
24:06Ordinates.
24:07Yes.
24:08And notarised.
24:09Notarised.
24:15It's raining nines in Dictionary Corner.
24:17That's the perfect, perfect warm-up for Origins of Words.
24:21Well, do you have a favourite Yiddish word, Colin?
24:24Some friends of mine use schlep a lot,
24:27and I think it just sounds like what it is, a schlep.
24:30Yes, that's the beauty, quite often, of Yiddish,
24:33it is very onomatopoeic and just...
24:36S-C-H is particularly productive.
24:38And I just thought I would talk about a few of my favourite ones as well,
24:42starting with bapkis. Do you know about that?
24:44You see, you don't know bapkis about football.
24:46You don't know bapkis?
24:47Yes, you know nothing.
24:49Not sure about this, but the Merriam-Webster Dictionary
24:52thinks that it might be short for the slightly more colourful
24:55kolze bapkis.
24:56Not sure I pronounced that correctly, but that means goat droppings.
24:59Oh, OK.
25:00So if you extend that, you'll realise
25:02what the sort of meaning of the full expression is.
25:05But I love that, you know nothing.
25:07Yiddish can be very dismissive in a really colourful, beautiful,
25:10slightly affectionate way, which I really like.
25:13Bagel. We all eat our bagels.
25:16Probably comes from Yiddish, beigel.
25:18And in turn, from a Middle High German word,
25:21meaning a ring or a bracelet, so that one's fairly obvious,
25:24but we do use it all the time.
25:26Another one that I use a lot, because I'm guilty of it,
25:29is futzing, futzing about,
25:31which means basically idling away your time
25:34when you should be doing something far more important.
25:37So stop futzing about, I think, is quite nice.
25:40A kibitzer as well is a great one,
25:43and that's somebody who looks on and offers unwanted advice.
25:47And we've all met one of those.
25:49And it probably comes from a German word, kibitzen,
25:52which means to look on at a game of cards.
25:54So, again, a bit like a backseat driver,
25:56sort of offering all these opinions
25:58without them being particularly desired.
26:01And I mentioned that S-C-H beginning.
26:03Rachel can correct me on the pronunciation here,
26:06but there's schlemazel and schlemiel.
26:09Schlemazel, yeah. Yeah, schemazel, thank you.
26:12Well, the schlemazel is a consistently unlucky person,
26:15so somebody whom the stars always seem to be misaligned, if you like.
26:21So those are a few. Schlep is lovely.
26:23We also get glitch from there, which we use all the time.
26:27So a lot of them have kind of crept into mainstream English
26:29without us being aware of them.
26:31But for the truly brilliant Yiddish words, I think,
26:33Pat mentioned mensch, which is another really good one.
26:36I think we should cherish them because they are just so expressive.
26:40Beautiful.
26:44Right, more letters now from Bill.
26:46Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Bill.

27:57Pinsers. Pinsers.
27:59I noticed once you added about 20 seconds, you thought,
28:01I'm done, seven will do, and you sat back.
28:03Yeah. There's a J there.
28:06I'm not going to do any better, I'm going to enjoy these ten seconds.
28:10Fantastic. Right, OK with that, boss?
28:13Yes, very happy with that.
28:15And we talked a little bit about bupkis and goat droppings
28:18and kaprein is there as well.
28:20C-A-P-R-I-N-E, which means goat-like.
28:22There you go. Goat-like, goat droppings. Brilliant.
28:25OK, still 19 points in it.
28:27Remember, 20 points up for grabs in the last two rounds,
28:30but we've got one more letters round to go.

29:35How do you get on, Bill?
29:36Try seven.
29:37And Peter?
29:38Just a six.
29:39The sixes?
29:40Tabled.
29:41And the seven?
29:42Datable.
29:43Datable.
29:44Absolutely fine.
29:45You can have it with an E in the middle
29:47and an X without.
29:48It's in the dictionary. Very good.
29:50Very good.
29:51APPLAUSE
29:52Two more sevens, no doubt, to throw at us from Dictionary Corner.
29:55The one that was really big and stuck out for me is bloated.
29:59Very good.
30:00What about yourself, Suze?
30:02Taxable.
30:03There you go.
30:04Nice. Bloated and taxable.
30:05We've had better words, haven't we, from Dictionary Corner?
30:08They all count seven points each.
30:10Big seven points for Bill as we get our final numbers round under way.
30:14And, Bill, you're picking them.
30:16Two large and four small.
30:18Thank you, Bill.
30:19For the fourth time today,
30:21the four little ones are nine, eight, one, seven,
30:26and the large two, 75 and 50,
30:29and the target, 169.
30:31169. Last numbers.
30:46BELL RINGS
31:04169. Bill?
31:06168.
31:07One away. Peter?
31:08Sorry, I lost you.
31:09No worries. Bill, let's see if this works out for you.
31:12Nine minus 72.
31:14Nine minus 72.
31:1575 plus eight plus one.
31:18Plus eight plus one.
31:20Yeah, 84.
31:22Multiply.
31:24Multiply them together.
31:25Yeah, 168.
31:26Very good. Seven points in the bag.
31:29At last, one tricky one today.
31:32Rachel?
31:33Yeah, it's one of those that looks easy,
31:35I think, but wasn't possibly as easy as it looks.
31:37I found a way with nine minus seven equals two,
31:41and then 50 plus one is 51.
31:4551 times two is 102.
31:48Add the 75 for 177 and take away the remaining eight.
31:53169.
31:59Fingers on buzzers, let's reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.

32:25Bill?
32:26Spousing? Not sure.
32:28Let's have a look and see if you're right. He's not sure.
32:31Rest of the time to Peter. That's wrong.
32:33MUSIC CONTINUES
32:38Go on, Peter.
32:39Supposing.
32:40Supposing.
32:42You're going to kick yourself. That's wrong.
32:44Let's take a look how close you were to those ten points, my friend.
32:48Supposing.
32:49No conundrum today. 89 plus 56.
32:52Always a different kind of show after we've had an OctoChamp
32:55and we get two new challengers.
32:57Peter, how did you find the experience
32:59compared to family fortunes? We want to know.
33:02Yeah, I've enjoyed it.
33:04You know, it's just one of those things,
33:06your brain sometimes just freezes and it's happened to me.
33:09Give my love to Stockport. Love that part of the world.
33:12Thank you very much. We'll give you the goodie bag.
33:14Bill, you're going nowhere.
33:15We're going to put you under armed guard
33:17and have you back here tomorrow for the B-side.
33:20That's just the A-side for you. A new champion. Well done.
33:23APPLAUSE
33:26Pat, see you for your final show tomorrow.
33:28Yeah, it's been absolutely brilliant fun.
33:30I'm gutted that I'm going away.
33:32I've learned a lot of words I've used
33:34and today I learned a word that I will use many, many times
33:37every time I ever meet you.
33:39A kibbutzer.
33:41What does that mean again?
33:43Somebody who looks on and gives unwanted advice.
33:45Colin? Futsie, I'll be using. Don't worry about that.
33:49Thank you, Susie. Thank you. Pleasure.
33:51All right, come on.
33:53Rachel Riley, pundit for Countdown, give us the post-match.
33:56Well, I really enjoyed that Yiddish little lesson from Susie
33:59because a lot of the Yiddish in my family
34:01has kind of died off with the older generations.
34:03There's only a couple of phrases that I know left
34:06and one of them is quite related to Countdown.
34:08Do you want to know? Yeah.
34:10It's along the lines of...
34:12Something like that. And it means, don't put me in a teapot.
34:15Ah, I love it. Fantastic.
34:17Right, player of the match for you. Thank you.
34:19Well done. Great performance.
34:21We're back tomorrow, Rachel, Susie and this schmuck.
