00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Yesterday we spoke about fireworks, Rachel.
00:37Do you remember? Fireworks. Extraordinary.
00:39Well, today it's all about hot air balloons
00:41because the Bristol International Balloon Festival launches today
00:45and it drifts over the entire weekend.
00:47Fantastic hot air balloons from all over the world, apparently.
00:50Something like 150 of them.
00:52I'd love to go in one, but I'm always rather put off by the fact
00:55that every landing is a sort of a crash landing.
00:57But the silence and the glory of it,
00:59and you see them floating lazily across the sky on a summer evening.
01:04It's a great, great sight. Have you ever been in one?
01:07I've not, but I was in South Africa recently and we were on the dawn safari
01:12and as we were setting off there were two massive hot air balloons in the sky
01:16and they must be able to see just the whole area.
01:19I was just wandering up there because we were trying to spot the rhinos
01:22and the elephants and they must be going,
01:25And it's all silent, of course. It's lovely.
01:27Yeah, but I don't know. I'm a bit scared of heights, so I'm not sure.
01:30But then I have done zip lining and thought I'd be scared of heights there,
01:33but it's a different thing. You're just not.
01:35You're just going for it and enjoying it, so maybe it's the same with hot air balloons.
01:38But also, I guess on a hot air balloon, if you came down for any reason in a hurry,
01:42in the middle of a pack of lions, for instance, that would be trouble.
01:46Yeah, well, we did ask about the poaching
01:48and the lions have munched on a few poachers this year.
01:51Good.
01:52They were getting their own back a bit. Good.
01:54Yeah, we didn't shed too many tears on the poachers getting munched.
01:57No, quite right. Quite right, too.
01:59Particularly the rhinos, which go off, the rhino horns go off
02:03and sort of pouted up and turned, allegedly, into aphrodisiacs.
02:08More fooled now. Yeah.
02:10They never heard of Viagra, for heaven's sake?
02:15You should do a campaign, Nick.
02:18I'm done campaigning. Anyway, moving on quietly.
02:22Who's with us? Eddie's back.
02:25How are you feeling, Eddie?
02:27Good.
02:28Retired caretaker from Maybole in Ayrshire.
02:31Close run thing, but you're here sitting on three wins.
02:36Now, you're up against Steve Rush, a police officer from Norfolk
02:40who's been busy researching his family history.
02:44Now, what's this about? I think there's a story here somewhere.
02:47There's a guy called James Bloomfield Rush
02:50who was one of the most notorious murderers in Norfolk in the 1800s.
02:54Yeah.
02:55From the same little village where we're from. Right.
02:58Although we can't make the exact link,
03:01there's a very close family resemblance in the pictures.
03:04In 18...? 1849, he was hanged.
03:07All right.
03:08Are you desperately trying to prove he's nothing to do with you
03:11or are you desperately trying to find that he is something to do with you?
03:14Well, it didn't come up in the vetting, well, for work, so...
03:17How interesting. Well, good luck with that.
03:19But even better good luck today.
03:21Big round of applause for Steve and Eddie.
03:24APPLAUSE
03:26Steve and Eddie.
03:28Wonderful.
03:30Yeah, fascinating.
03:32Susie's in the corner.
03:33Joined once again by writer, presenter, comedian and actor,
03:37good actor, Griff Rees-Jones.
03:39Welcome back.
03:45Now, then, Eddie, off we go.
03:48Good afternoon, Rachel.
03:50Afternoon, Eddie.
03:51Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:53Thank you. Start today with P.

05:02There we are.
05:03APPLAUSE
05:06So we're off at a brisk pace, then.
05:08Over in the corner, Susie and Griff.
05:11Well, I only got as far as swipes.
05:14Swipes and Susie?
05:16Heists would be another six.
05:18Pushiest are the only long one that we could find.
05:20Thanks very much.
05:21Eight apiece. Steve, your letters game.
05:23Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:24Afternoon, Steve.

06:05MUSIC PLAYS
06:27Well, Steve?
06:28Our risk is seven.
06:30Eddie?
06:31Seven as well.
06:32Steve?
06:33Goaties.
06:34Eddie?
06:35Boaties.
06:36Yes, boaties.
06:38All men and women are boaties or just owning enthusiasts.
06:41That's absolutely fine.
06:42Goaties, you need double E-S rather than I-E-S.
06:45I'm sorry about that.
06:46Anything else?
06:47Gazebos.
06:48Yes.
06:49Is very good, isn't it?
06:50That would give you another seven.
06:51Seven.
06:52Gazebos.
06:53You think a gazebo sounds sort of Italian or something.
06:55It means a gazebo.
06:57It's like that silly word that you produced yesterday,
07:00pilus.
07:01Somebody...
07:02There wasn't any pies.
07:03Gazebolas.
07:04Was that in there?
07:05Anyway, never mind.
07:0615 pays eight.
07:08And, Eddie, it's your numbers game.
07:10Can I have one large and five small, please?
07:12Your usual pick.
07:13Thank you, Eddie.
07:14One from the top five, a little.
07:15And the first one of the day is...
07:174, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 100.

08:03Eddie?
08:044 times 8, you have to do 2.
08:06Yep.
08:075 minus 3 is 2.
08:09Here it is.
08:1034.
08:11And add the 100.
08:12134, lovely.
08:13And Steve?
08:14I said 9 times 5 is 45.
08:16Yep.
08:178 plus 3 is 11.
08:19Take that from the 45.
08:2134.
08:22And then add the 100.
08:23And again, 134.
08:24Nice and simple.
08:25Well done.
08:26APPLAUSE
08:30So, Steve, on 18, Eddie, 25,
08:32as we turn to our first Tea Time teaser,
08:34which is Pear Tango, and the clue...
08:38The pub had to close down. It had lost all its customers.
08:42The pub had to close down. It had lost all its customers.
08:54APPLAUSE
09:00Welcome back.
09:01Left with the clue, the pub had to close down.
09:04It had lost all its customers.
09:06And the answer to that is that it had lost its patronage.
09:11Patronage is the answer.
09:1325 plays 18.

10:38So, six, there's tocked, there's tacked,
10:40there's a dacoit, an armed robber.
10:42Couldn't get beyond six, though.

12:02Ogres.
12:03Ogres.
12:04Oh, you need two S's.
12:06Two S's, unfortunately.
12:07Oh, sorry.
12:09Don't worry, that's bad luck.
12:10Susie and Griff?
12:12Oh, I think I've got a seven.
12:13I've got a surgeon, is that, though?
12:15Yeah.
12:16Yes, you can be a grouser as well,
12:18if you're a complainer or a grumbler.
12:20A grouser?
12:21A grouser.
12:2231 to 30, only a point in it now.
12:24Steve, a numbers game for you.
12:26Can I have two large numbers and any other four, please?
12:29You can indeed.
12:30We'll try for something more tricky than the last one.
12:32Thank you, Steve.

13:27Minus the 50.
13:28200.
13:29And add the 5.
13:30Yeah, plenty of ways for this one.
13:32And...
13:3310 minus 6.
13:3410 minus 6.
13:35Sorry, it's 4 times 50.
13:36Yeah.
13:37And add on the 5.
13:38There we go.
13:39Same result, lovely.
13:40Thanks very much.
13:41Still that one point in it.
13:4241 plays 40.
13:43Steve, on 40, as we turn to Griff,
13:46live shows involving travel.
13:49Hmm.
13:50Speak to us.
13:52I've done a tour about Mel,
13:54and I gathered that a significant proportion of the population
13:58had forgotten about me and Mel,
13:59because it was 20 years ago that we sort of worked together.
14:02So I thought what I'd been doing subsequently is,
14:05on behalf, you know, on your behalf and at your expense,
14:10I'd been travelling the world for the BBC and ITV a little bit,
14:14so I thought it was time to concentrate and focus on the idea
14:19that when you make a travel programme,
14:21essentially everybody from the highest producer to the lowest assistant
14:27is basically trying to kill the presenter.
14:29And so I sort of outlined some of the ways in which they were on stage,
14:34some of the adventures I've had trying to avoid that possibility.
14:38And?
14:39And?
14:40Well, funny enough, you were talking about going up in a balloon.
14:43I've certainly done that.
14:44But coming down is another matter altogether.
14:47If there's a bit of a wind blowing, and I went ballooning in the Cotswolds,
14:51and I was able to look down on Jeremy Clarkson's house,
14:54you know, it was that good.
14:55And we came down, and as we came down, there was quite a wind,
15:00and I was sort of imagining, as you might, that your basket would bump.
15:03But it didn't just bump, it sort of turned up on its side,
15:07and they were all hanging on in the basket,
15:09and the genius of the man is managing to stop the balloon going any further.
15:14So there was a little bit of nervousness there,
15:16especially the poor cameraman, who had a hugely heavy camera,
15:18and we all went over on the side.
15:20Did they get a bit of that in the shot, in the finished film?
15:24No.
15:25Every landing is a crash landing.
15:26A little bit of a crash landing involved.
15:28And I found that most of the filming I did turned out to be a crash landing as well,
15:32of one kind or another.
15:34So I've had a fair number of adventures, and I think I'm glad to say that my really...
15:39I mean, even when I started, I was in my mid-50s,
15:42and they started by saying things like,
15:43''Oh, let's go and do some mountaineering, Griff, have you ever done that?''
15:47And I said, ''No, no, I haven't.''
15:50They said, ''Well, it'll be you, you'll pick it up as you go along.''
15:53And I'd go on a tour of duty, as it were,
15:58and find out that everybody else who was working on the programme
16:02had been on a very expensive extreme mountain safety course.
16:07But I was a freelancer, so it wasn't necessary to pay for me to go on it.
16:12But I picked it up as we went along.
16:14Thank you very much, Griff.
16:19Brilliant.
16:21So it's 41 to 40.
16:24Eddie. Now then, Eddie, let's be serious about this.
16:27It's all letters game.
16:29Can I have a quotient, please?

17:46Yep. After probate, there's just a single eight that we could find,
17:50which was a fireboat.
17:52A boat that carries firefighters to a fireboard, another ship.

20:50Very good.
20:52But, Rachel, we must turn to you now. 471?
20:55Yes, it was possible.
20:57If you say ten divided by two is five.
21:01Seven minus one is six.
21:03100 minus six for 94.
21:06Times by five for 470 with a spare.
21:09One left over for 471.

24:20MUSIC
24:24MUSIC
24:50Eddie?
24:52I have a five. Steve?
24:54I have a six, Nick.
24:56Eddie?
24:57Malt.
24:58And Steve?
24:59Untold.
25:00Untold. Very good. Yes, very nice.
25:02Well played. Well played.
25:04Griff and Susie?
25:06Unmix, I had, but I don't know if that even exists as a word.
25:10Unmixed.
25:12Oh, no, unmix is there, to undo or reverse the action. Very good.
25:15Yes.
25:17And another six is an old marker of time, Nick,
25:19the fourth ultimo, meaning of last month,
25:21so you might talk about the fourth ultimo,
25:23the fourth day of last month.
25:2648-67, Steve still there.
25:28As we turn to Susie.
25:31Susie and her origins of words.
25:34I have an email from Mike Shakespeare.
25:36He says,
25:37We have a son, Nick, and would like to know how Nick,
25:39as in to take without consent, came about,
25:41or where in the nick of time originated.
25:44And if you say in the nick, if you are in Britain,
25:47it might mean you're in prison.
25:49If you're in Scotland, it might mean you're in a valley between two hills.
25:52Or if you're in Australia, if you're in the nick, you're probably naked.
25:55So it's a word with very many meanings depending on where you are.
25:59But for Shakespeare and his contemporaries,
26:02in the very nick meant in that precise place at that precise moment.
26:06And I've been reading a lovely article on this
26:09by the linguist Gary Martin,
26:12and he had noticed that there was a phrase that kept coming up
26:16which meant pretty much in the nick of time, but it predated it,
26:19which was to arrive in the pudding or at pudding time.
26:24Now, pudding in those days was a savoury, often a starter.
26:28It was made of sausage very often or haggis, etc.
26:32So in pudding time meant just in time for the first course.
26:35The Tudors needed to change that because puddings eventually became sweet
26:39and, of course, they came to be at the end of the meal.
26:42So that changed, and they also wanted a more precise marker of time,
26:45which is why they chose nick.
26:47Now, what is a nick?
26:48A nick was a mark that was notched into a tally stick with a knife.
26:52So they would take a stick, they would mark it with equal measures
26:56to indicate a score in a game,
26:58and they would keep tally literally this way.
27:01And so a nick became a very precise marker of time.
27:04And in Shakespeare's time, again,
27:06watches and instruments showing time had pre-marked notches,
27:10much as you will see old timepieces having today.
27:13And to keep these watches in the nick of time
27:16literally was to keep them punctual,
27:18to keep them at exactly the right place there.
27:20So that's in the nick of time. I think it's a wonderful history.
27:23As for your nicked, weirdly, or not weirdly, but curiously,
27:27that goes all the way back to 1640s.
27:29Not that precise phrase, but the idea of arresting someone
27:32and putting them in prison.
27:34And that probably goes back to the idea of hitting a target,
27:37again, striking something very accurately.
27:39In this case, the target was a criminal,
27:41and they ended up putting them in the nick, i.e. in prison.
27:45Very clever.
27:51Very good.
27:53Thank you for that.
27:5567-48, Steve in the lead, and it's Steve's letters game.
27:59Off you go, Steve.
28:00Can I start with a consonant? Thank you, Steve.

28:39CLOCK TICKS
29:01Yes, Steve?
29:02I've got a seven.
29:03And Eddie?
29:04Seven as well.
29:05Steve, seven.
29:06Slopier.
29:07And Eddie?
29:08P
29:09Plovers.
29:10There is no slopier, I'm afraid.
29:12You tend to talk of something as being sloping rather than slopey.
29:15So I'm sorry about that, Steve.
29:17And plovers, absolutely fine. Yes, the ducks.
29:19Lovely. Plover. Griff?
29:21I've got proves, which is there, but only six.
29:26Yeah.
29:27There is an eight there.
29:29Overspin, which you might find in cricket.
29:31A rotating motion given to the ball when throwing it or hitting it,
29:34so it gives it extra speed.
29:35Amazing.
29:3667-55.
29:38Closed it up there, but, Eddie, try this letters game.

30:50Eddie? Eight.
30:52And Steve?
30:54Just a six.
30:56And your six is?
30:57Mascot.
30:58Mascot. Now, Eddie?
31:00Clambers.
31:01Well done.
31:02You're fighting back there, Eddie. You're fighting.
31:05You're scrapping. Griff?
31:07Well, I had clambers, but, of course, you know,
31:09if you were being, you know, really inventive, like Pilus,
31:12you could, at the seaside, go on a clam tour.
31:15And so you could have clam tours.
31:17What do you think?
31:20She's going to disappoint you now.
31:22I am.
31:23I know she is, but I was just the furthest we've got, you know, but...
31:26No.
31:27You can't?
31:28No, what a pity.
31:29No.
31:31But, yes, clambers is very good.
31:33Otherwise, amours for six, but, yeah, excellent.
31:36Well done.
31:37And now the final numbers game for you, Steve. Good luck.
31:41Can I have two large, please, Rachel, and any other four?
31:44You can indeed. Let's see how many lives Eddie has.
31:47We have a possible crucial conundrum on the way,
31:50but the final numbers game first,
31:52which is four, ten, eight, nine, 50 and 75,
31:58and this target, 695.
32:00695.
32:28Steve?
32:35I've got 695, not brilliantly written down.
32:38How about Eddie's? 700.
32:40All right, Steve?
32:42I said 75 times ten, 750.
32:46750.
32:47Minus the 50.
32:49700.
32:50And then minus the four.
32:54And...
32:55Yeah.
32:56And nine minus eight for the last one.
32:57And you've done it. Well done. 695.
32:59Well done, well done, well done.
33:0677 to 63 as we go into the final round.
33:12Fingers on buzzers. Let's roll today's countdown conundrum.
33:24Eddie?
33:25Rebounded.
33:26Let's see whether you're right.
33:28I can see Steve nodding there.
33:30Rebounded. Well done.
33:37Terrific.
33:38Well done, Steve.
33:40You've beaten a very, very good player.
33:42But you come out on top, 77 to 73.
33:45So congratulations on that.
33:47We shall see you. We'll see you tomorrow.
33:49Well done.
33:51Well done.
33:52Sorry to see you go.
33:54Yes.
33:55I really am.
33:56You had three good wins,
33:58and now we're sending you back to Scotland,
34:00back to Mabel with a teapot!
34:03A teapot.
34:04Now, what could be better than that?
34:06And a goodie bag, too.
34:07And you go back with our very best wishes.
34:09It's been a real pleasure having you here.
34:11Thank you very much, sir.
