00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon. Welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34It's July, halfway through the year.
00:36Only six months to Christmas, Rachel. Can you believe it?
00:40Oh, only six months left.
00:42Exactly. But now for something completely different.
00:46Do you like a bit of spam? Do you like a silly walk?
00:48Are you one of the lucky ones who has managed to get a ticket
00:52for Monty Python's first live show in over 30 years?
00:56My word. Apparently, Rachel, these tickets are like the hottest ticket in town.
01:01John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones
01:06will be back at the O2 in a show entitled Monty Python Live Mostly.
01:12One down, five to go.
01:14I mean, I guess you were too young,
01:16but I think I've heard you say your dad was a big fan of Monty Python.
01:20Yeah, if only you'd have told me before Father's Day, Nick.
01:23I could have had a heads up, could have got them as a present.
01:25He'd love it. He's a massive fan, yeah.
01:27Apparently, though, Rachel, they sold out in 30 seconds or something.
01:31Really?
01:32I think thousands of pounds. It's a huge ticket.
01:35Yeah, it's really popular.
01:36I mean, a lot of the quotes have stood the test of time, haven't they?
01:39Oh, I love them. I really love them.
01:41In fact, my lot at that age,
01:43that was appointment television in capital letters and underlined.
01:47It was fantastic. It was fantastic.
01:50Now then, who have we got with us?
01:53We've got James Wall back here again.
01:55You beat Tricia Blatherwick, 68-33, bank cashier from Redcar.
01:59You're joined today by Sue Melling,
02:01a retired secretary from Southmore.
02:04Is that right, in Abingdon?
02:05That's right. It's actually a village.
02:07It's Southmore combined with Kingston Bagpews.
02:10Oh, I remember Kingston Bagpews.
02:12Oh, when I was talking to Rachel there about the crowd,
02:16we used to watch Monty Python,
02:18we would have a sort of a post-mortem at Dirty Dudley's.
02:22In Kingston Bagpews. Is it still there?
02:24It's still there as a pub. It's a pub with a Thai restaurant.
02:27Oh, really? Linked to it now. Very upmarket now.
02:30Oh, really? It's very downmarket.
02:32No, Stittings Hall does now.
02:33Well, welcome. Let's have a big round of applause for James and Sue.
02:41And the guy in the next corner, call her.
02:44Susie's over there with her new toy,
02:46and I'm not talking about John Culshaw,
02:49but about her computer.
02:51Now, you've got a little bit of an interest, John.
02:54Oh, yes. In Monty.
02:56Yes, exactly.
02:57I'm really looking forward to the new Python concerts.
03:00Any time they've been together to promote them,
03:02the mischief has been there and the creativity has been there,
03:05and I think they're going to be absolutely fantastic.
03:07And Eric Idle is directing the whole thing,
03:10and he wrote and directed Spamalot, of course.
03:12You were in that?
03:13Yes, I was King Arthur for a little while.
03:15And so it'll be wonderful to see all of the great catchphrases again,
03:19and an arena full of people on the scale of the O2
03:22all quoting the words right back at them. Magic.
03:25Absolutely. They'll know every word, won't they?
03:28Oh, it'll be chanting in unison.
03:30Brilliant stuff.
03:32But now it's time to get down to some serious business.
03:35James Wall, a letters game, please.

06:28Yes.
06:29For another six.
06:30And last minute eight.
06:32Odourised.
06:34To odourise something.
06:35Odourise, yes.
06:36To odourise is to give an odour or a scent to something.
06:39So you can talk about odourised air if you wanted to.
06:42Very good. Thank you. Thank you.
06:4424 points. Look at this, Sue. Excellent stuff.
06:46Now then, James. Numbers game.

07:49Ten away.
07:51Yeah, 4 x 3 is 12.
07:534 x 3 is 12.
07:55X 2 is 24.
07:56X 2, 24.
07:58Add the 50.
07:59Add the 50 for 74.
08:019 x 1 is 10.
08:03Yeah, we haven't used any of those.
08:05740. Ten away.
08:07Ten away. Can you take us just an inch closer?
08:10I can take you closer.
08:12If you say 50 x 3 is 150.
08:18Take away 4 is 146.
08:21And then 9 x 1 is 10.
08:23Divided by 2 is 5.
08:25And times the 2 together for 730.
08:27Look at that. Perfect.
08:29Well done, Rachel.
08:31More than an inch.
08:33More than an inch.
08:34So, James on 5, Sue, 24.

09:07With the clue, I'm a lover of leaves,
09:09so you can call me this.
09:11And the answer is folivore.
09:14Susie, folivore, from folio.
09:17Yes. Very simple, really.
09:19It's an animal that feeds on leaves.
09:22And some of the examples here in the dictionary
09:25include gerbils, howler monkeys and wood rats.
09:29But lots of other animals, obviously.
09:31Folivore. Leaves.

11:44MUSIC
12:00MUSIC
12:15Yes, James?
12:16I'll risk an eight.
12:17An eight. Sue?
12:19Seven.
12:20And your seven?
12:21Piglets.
12:22Piglets. James?
12:24Laggiest.
12:26Mmm.
12:27Erm...
12:29Not there, I'm afraid, James.
12:32It's not an adjective, laggy, in there at all,
12:35so no can-do on that one.
12:37Sorry.
12:38Good luck.
12:39Now, then, the corner.
12:41John?
12:42Yes, we've got piglets in here as well, rather cutely,
12:45and another more... Now, what's this term here?
12:47Another seven.
12:49It's talipes, T-A-L-I-P-E-S,
12:52which is the technical term for a club foot.
12:55A talipes?
12:56Talipes.
12:57OK.
12:58Very good. Anything else?
12:59No, that's about all.
13:00OK, thank you.
13:0138 plays, James is 12,
13:03and Sue, numbers game for you.
13:07Can I have one from the top and five others, please?
13:10You can, thank you, Sue.
13:11One top one and five lower ones.
13:14And for this round, the numbers are
13:1710, 3, 6, 1, 4,
13:21and the large one, 50 again.
13:23And the target, 581.
13:26581.
13:27581.
13:58Yes, Sue?
14:00585.
14:01585. How about James?
14:03583.
14:04583. Come on, James.
14:063 x 4 x 50.
14:093 x 4, 12 x 50, 600.
14:12And take the 10, the 6 and the 1 off.
14:14And the 10 and the 6 and the 1, yes, two away.
14:17583.
14:18Well done, but it's more work for Rachel.
14:20581.
14:22If you split up the multiplication,
14:25say 50 x 4 is 200,
14:28and then take away 6 for 194,
14:31then times that by 3, you get 582,
14:34and take away the 1 for 581.
14:36Terrific. Well done.
14:39Thank you, Rachel.
14:40As ever, it's up to 19 points for James.
14:43Sue's still on 38.
14:45But now we turn to John Culshaw.
14:48John, what have you got for us today?
14:50Well, yesterday I did rather enjoy the David Attenborough treatment,
14:54the epic David Attenborough treatment of our household pets.
14:58So I wondered if we might just revisit that for a moment.
15:01Please do.
15:02And discuss the chinchilla communities of north-eastern Australasia
15:08who have been known to burrow deep underground for tens of metres
15:14in order to create safe environments to raise their young.
15:19Eric and Derek, two gerbils purchased from a branch of Pets at Home
15:24on a Luton trading estate,
15:26instead are entirely contented to make their home
15:30inside a long cardboard tube
15:33which once formed the centre of a packet of bako foil.
15:39Here, they have learned to walk in and, ingeniously, to reverse out again.
15:46The length of the tube occasionally amplifying their little gerbil squeaks,
15:53which confuses Basil the Whippet, causing him to put his head on one side.
15:59Photographs of which Basil's owners, Trudy and Ian,
16:03have very frequently put onto Facebook saying,
16:06OMG, like cutest thing like ever, LMAO, hashtag Baz is well cute.
16:12Collectively, they form a community living together
16:16for interspecies benefits in the natural environment.
16:21Excellent stuff. Well done.
16:26Very good. Wonderful stuff, John, wonderful.
16:29All right, so Sue on 38, James on 90.
16:32Now, James, your letter's game.
16:34Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
16:36Thank you, James. S.
16:38And another?

16:54N.
16:55A vowel?
16:57E.
16:58And a final consonant, please?
17:00And a final L.
17:02Stand by.
17:10CLOCK TICKS
17:34Yes, James?
17:35A risky eight.
17:36A risky eight. How about Sue?
17:37Just six.
17:38And that six?
17:39Lemons.
17:40Lemons. And your risk, James?
17:42Holiness? I don't know if it's capitalised.
17:45No, absolutely not. The holiness is completely fine.
17:48Your holiness would be capitalised,
17:50but holiness as a concept is very, very good.
17:53Very good. Well done, James.
17:57Very good.
17:59Have a care, Sue. Have a care.
18:0227 now to your 38.

19:15Yes, Sue?
19:16Just five.
19:17A five, James?

19:22And, James?
19:23Poker.
19:25Poker room, yes.
19:28Yes.
19:29And what else have we got there?
19:31Five there. Pixie, which was rather nice,
19:34and also poxier.
19:36A rather good six.
19:38Poxier.
19:39So we had a poxier pixie over here.
19:41Keep away from those.
19:4338 points to James's 33.
19:45Well done, James. You're coming on strongly here.
19:47And now it's your numbers game. James?
19:49Can I have one from the top and five smalls again, please?
19:52You can, thank you, James.

20:07365.
20:26MUSIC PLAYS
20:40Well, James?
20:41366.
20:42One away. How about Sue?
20:44I just got 373.
20:46So we're down to James, then.
20:49Five times three is 15.
20:51Five times three is 15.
20:53Times 25.
20:54Times 25 is 375.
20:56Minus the six and minus the three.
20:58And then six and the other three for nine and one away.
21:01366.
21:03366.
21:05365 was the requirement, really.
21:07How tricky is that?
21:09You split up the three times five again.
21:11Three times 25 is 75.
21:14Minus two is 73.
21:16And times that by five, 365.
21:18Well done. Thank you, Rachel.
21:20APPLAUSE

23:31Now then, what have we got over there?
23:33A couple of rather nice sevens. Motives there for seven.
23:36As was atomise.
23:38Atomised. A good countdown type word there.
23:41Atomise for seven. Bit of a...
23:43It comes up quite often, that word, doesn't it? It does.
23:45It pops up.
23:47I don't know whether you have a wound,
23:49but you could have added the S to move.
23:51You can have moves, different moves and purples.
23:53Well done. All right.
23:5545-43, clinging together here.

25:26Bandolier. Bandolier.
25:28You put your cartridges in it. Yes.
25:30Over your shoulder. Exactly. Exactly right.
25:33And it comes probably from a Catalan word, meaning bandit,
25:37because this is the sort of thing they used to wear for ammunition.
25:40Sometimes they wore two.
25:42APPLAUSE
25:47Yes, they did. A bandolier.
25:50Now, then, 52 points to Sue's 50.
25:53Still those little two points there, Sue.
25:56But now it's time for Susie and her wonderful origins of words.
26:00Susie?
26:01Thanks, Nick. Well, I'm on a foodie theme today
26:04because for a substance that is defined by the Big OED,
26:08the Big Oxford English Dictionary, as the fat and juices
26:11of the flesh during and after the process of cooking,
26:14the humble food known as gravy
26:16has actually covered a lot of territory in English.
26:19And actually, it first acquired its name through a spelling error.
26:23It first appeared in English
26:25in translations of old French cookery books.
26:28And in the old French text, the word wasn't gravy,
26:31it was granée, meaning almost granules,
26:33not the gravy granules we know today,
26:35but it comes from the Latin meaning seed or grain,
26:38which are little bits that come off the meat
26:41and then are stewed in their own juices, and spices as well.
26:45And granée was misread as gravée, and gravy was born.
26:50And when it first appeared, it wasn't the sort of dressing,
26:53I suppose, that we know it as today.
26:55It was used on white meat and fish,
26:57but it was made of milk, of almonds, spices and ale and things thrown in it.
27:01It was very, very pricey.
27:03And the gravy that we know today
27:05didn't really appear until about the late 17th century.
27:07And that was when all sorts of slang uses of the word began to pile up.
27:11To stew in one's own gravy, as you can imagine,
27:14was to suffer the consequences of poor judgment.
27:17And the idea was that you were sweating profusely.
27:20But apart from that, the sense of gravy as a very rich addition to your food
27:25made the other slang uses pretty positive.
27:28In 19th century theatre, for example,
27:30gravy was either a very easy roll
27:32or it was easily earned laughter or applause from the audience.
27:36And, of course, we know today gravy as money or riches,
27:39especially if you acquire them quite easily without putting in much effort.
27:43And we talk about boarding the gravy train,
27:45so having literally an easy ride.
27:47And even people have been called gravy, meaning the best or excellent.
27:51And so it makes perfect sense for us to say,
27:53it's all gravy, meaning everything is fine today.
27:56And I like that. It's very snappy, it's colourful,
27:58and it's a bit better than it's all good.
28:00Very good.
28:02APPLAUSE
28:03Thank you, Susie.
28:05Thank you, indeed.

29:33Yes, capons was there for six.
29:36Kind of a big chicken.
29:38All of this talk is making me rather hungry.
29:40And your wonderful gravy story there.

29:46LAUGHTER

29:50No, just six this time.
29:51Well done.

31:00Yes, James?
31:01A six.
31:02A six. Sue?
31:03Seven.
31:05Right, James?
31:06Digest.
31:07Sue?
31:08Strived.
31:11Yes, absolutely fine.
31:12I had to think about that one.
31:14I think strove.
31:15Yes, you'd think it would be strove.
31:17And certainly it used to be strove.
31:19It was a strong verb.
31:20But strived is absolutely fine, Sue. No problem.
31:23My word, we're heading into crucial territory here, I think.
31:26What else have we got over there?
31:28That was a useful selection, that one, wasn't it?
31:30Quite a few sevens.
31:31Diverts.
31:32Revisit.
31:33Dirties, as well.
31:35All there for seven.
31:36Very good.
31:37Very good.
31:38But now, Sue's back in the lead, 63, but only just.
31:42James is on 58.
31:43And it's Numbers.
31:45Numbers, which tends to be James's forte.
31:48It's Numbers for Sue.
31:49Can I have two large and four small, please?
31:52You can. Thank you, Sue.
31:53Two large and four small.
31:55And potentially a crucial conundrum.
31:57You've been right for the last time today, the Numbers.
31:59The little ones are one, nine, another nine, and ten.
32:04And the large two, 75 and 25, could be very tricky.
32:07Target, 812.
32:09Eight, one, two.
32:28BUZZER
32:42Sue?
32:43812.
32:45812, James?
32:46809.
32:48Now then, Sue.
32:49Right, nine times nine is 81.
32:52Yes, nine times nine is 81.
32:54Times the ten?
32:55810.
32:5675 over 25 is three.
32:59And minus the one.
33:01Yep.
33:02And then add them on.
33:03A tricky one. Very well done.
33:04Well done. Very sweetly done.
33:05APPLAUSE
33:10Well done, Sue.
33:11Sue, you've saved yourself a crucial conundrum.
33:13You're 73, two Jameses, 58.
33:15So it is. We come to the end.
33:17Conundrum time. Things on buzzers.
33:19Let's reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:23BELL RINGS
33:25My word, that was quick. Yes?
33:27Excavated.
33:28Excavated. Let's see whether you're right.
33:31Done with panache.
33:33Oh, well done.
33:34APPLAUSE
33:36Well done, James.
33:38APPLAUSE
33:41Very strong performance there, James.
33:43Well done. 68.
33:45But Sue pinched it, if I can put it that way.
33:47You pinched it. You came in and stole it at the end.
33:50Well done. Well done, indeed.
33:52We shall see you tomorrow, but sadly not, James.
33:55You've been a good competitor.
33:57So back to Redcar with you, back to the bank with your goody bag
34:00and your teapot.
34:02Treat them all to a pot of tea back at the bank.
34:05Anyway, now then, Sue Melling from Kingston Bag Pews,
34:08we shall see you tomorrow. Well done.

34:22But it's not just impressions, too.
34:24It's your sort of, you know, the writing is brilliant.
34:27It's wonderful. I'll be back with more nonsense in 24 hours.
34:30Excellent. You have a quiet night and we'll see you tomorrow.
34:33See you tomorrow, Rachel. See you then.
34:35We'll be back tomorrow, same time, waiting for you here in the studio.
