00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:04APPLAUSE
00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown.
00:33This Thursday afternoon, it is a fact that this show has had
00:36more episodes than any other UK TV quiz show.
00:40Or is it a stat?
00:42I think I have to put the number in it, Rachel, for it to be a stat.
00:45And that might be the difference between a fact and a stat,
00:48but the point is today is National Statistics Day.
00:51Well, I didn't buy you a present, or a balloon, or a cake,
00:55or anything, Colin.
00:56Well, we can't beat Spreadsheet Day anyway.
00:58The party's over after that, right? I've got some for you.
01:01Fantastic stats.
01:03It's estimated that 99% of all the species that have ever lived on Earth
01:08are now extinct.
01:09Just a little bit of perspective on that.
01:1169% of children between the age of two and five
01:16can use a computer mouse,
01:18but only 11% can tie their laces.
01:22What about your little one?
01:23I mean, I think that's probably an old stat.
01:26Who uses a computer mouse apart from Susie these days?
01:29I didn't say they were great. Nobody said.
01:31Let's get to Dictionary Corner.
01:33Look who's back. Susie Dent, of course,
01:35and we love, love, love having John Thompson with us.
01:38APPLAUSE
01:40Right, lovely to have you, and great to see 19-year-old Christy Cooper back.
01:45Tell me a little bit about your future,
01:47because you want to work in this business.
01:49What do you want to do?
01:50I think I'd like to go into pharma development
01:52and try and develop new quiz shows.
01:55Rivals to kind? How dare you, sir?
01:58Tell you what, Christy, a few people in this team, there's rumours,
02:01they're not pulling their weight, so give your CB to me.
02:04We'll see if we can make it work.
02:06All right, let's introduce our challenger today.
02:09From Tavistock, it's 43-year-old Bowdoin Smith.
02:12Hi, Bowdoin.
02:13How you doing?
02:14Now, John, calm down.
02:16OK.
02:17Right? Bowdoin's going to tell a story you're going to absolutely love.
02:21Brilliant.
02:22For regular viewers, think about Monday.
02:24Bowdoin, tell me about a certain advert.
02:27When I was about ten years old, I was in a Miniroll advert.
02:32It was actually quite popular back in the day,
02:35so I was a Miniroll kid.
02:36Was it a successful advert?
02:38Yeah, it rose sales by 30%.
02:43You wish that was you, right?
02:45My friend Tam Ryan is the finger of fudge kid,
02:48who I thought, on the advert, was full of peppery goodness.
02:52Anyone else?
02:53No, just you.
02:54If you listen to it, it sounds like peppery.
02:57There you go.
02:58Wonderful stuff.
02:59Well, listen, we'll not call you that,
03:01but we'll see if we're calling you a champion by three o'clock today.
03:04Christy and Bowdoin, good luck.
03:08All right, Christy, let's have the first letters of the day.
03:11Hi again, Rachel.
03:12Hi, Christy.
03:13I'll start with a consonant, please.
03:15Thank you. Start today with H.
03:17And a vowel.
03:19O.
03:20And another vowel.
03:22E.
03:23A consonant.
03:25M.
03:26Another consonant.
03:28D.
03:29A vowel.
03:31I.
03:32A consonant.
03:33N.
03:35A vowel.
03:37A.
03:38And a final consonant, please.
03:40A final P.
03:41At home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
03:52MUSIC PLAYS
04:15Christy? A six.
04:16And Bowdoin?
04:17I'll stick with a safe six.
04:19OK, what's the six, Bowdoin?
04:20Phoned.
04:21Phoned.
04:22And Christy?
04:23Domain.
04:24Six points each.
04:26Jon?
04:27The same as Christy. Great minds think alike. Domain.
04:29Lovely. Anything else, Suze?
04:31There is a mop head, somebody with a thick head of hair.
04:35But there is an eight there as well with diaphone,
04:38a low-pitched fog signal characterised by the grunt
04:41which ends each note.
04:43Very good.
04:44You'd have had a mop head, wouldn't you, back in the mid-'90s,
04:47a big Stone Roses cut?
04:48No. It's too wavy-davy for that.
04:50I would have had to have grown it out
04:52and it would have looked more like Wurzel Gummidge.
04:54Bowdoin, your first letter so you can say hello to Rich.
04:57Hi, Rachel. Can I start off a consonant, please?
05:00You can indeed. Start with N.
05:03And another?
05:05T.
05:06And another?
05:08S.
05:09And a vowel, please?
05:11O.
05:12And another?
05:14E.
05:15Another?
05:17O.
05:19A consonant?
05:21D.
05:23And another?
05:25P.
05:27And a final consonant, please?
05:30A final R.
05:3230 seconds.
05:49MUSIC PLAYS
06:03How do you get on, Mr Smith?
06:05Seven.
06:06And Mr Cooper?
06:07Seven.
06:08Great start today. Bowdoin, what is it?
06:10Spooned.
06:11And Christy?
06:12A stooped.
06:13Stooped. And spawned.
06:15And to John?
06:16Lame five, prose.
06:18Lovely word, though. It is a good word.
06:20Lovely word. Anything beyond seven?
06:23Yes, single eight that we can find with doorstep.
06:26Doorstep. There you go.
06:28It is 13 points each, so let's get our first numbers of the day.
06:32Christy, what way are you going to go?
06:34Can I have two large and four small?
06:36You can indeed. Thank you, Christy.
06:38Two from the top, four littles.
06:41And the first numbers of the day are...
06:44..eight, one, and the big ones, 150.

07:25181. Bowdoin?
07:27181. OK, Bowdoin, off you go.
07:29100 plus 50?
07:30150.
07:31Three times eight is 24?
07:32Yep.
07:33Add to seven.
07:34Straightforward enough, 181.
07:36Good stuff. What about you, Christy?
07:38The same way. Yeah.
07:39APPLAUSE
07:4323 points apiece.
07:45Cat's Coat is your first tea time teaser.
07:47Cat's Coat.
07:48It was depressed but not for very long at all.
07:51It was depressed but not for very long at all.
08:02APPLAUSE
08:09Welcome back.
08:10Cat's Coat becomes staccato.
08:12It was depressed but not for very long at all.
08:15What a competition today.
08:1623 points each.
08:18Good for the neutral, as they say.
08:20Bowdoin, you're picking the letters.
08:21OK, I'll start with consonant.
08:23Thank you, Bowdoin.

09:12MUSIC PLAYS
09:27Need a number, Bowdoin.
09:29Five.
09:30And Christy?
09:31Five.
09:32OK, can't split yous, Bowdoin.
09:33Caved.
09:34And Christy?
09:35Vague.
09:36Vague, caved, no worries.
09:38But it's an open goal for Dictionary Corner
09:40to steal this show, so Susie and John?
09:43I've only got a five as well, gated.
09:45Gated. I think Susie's going to come out the hero.
09:47Waged, caged, I could not find anything bigger.
09:49There you go.
09:50So if you've got that at home, do a lap of your house.
09:52Right, let's get some more letters.

10:58Six.
10:59And Boden?
11:00Seven.
11:01Last second count in there, Christy.
11:03Unions.
11:04Very important to declare the right amount of letters.
11:06Many people have lost big games on that.
11:08What's your seven?
11:09I declared the wrong amount of letters.
11:11Oh, no!
11:12OK, so the six is going to stick.
11:14What else have we got?
11:15Onions.
11:16Six.
11:17Is that it?
11:18That's it.
11:19It's there in blue and white.
11:20That's shallot?
11:21Lots of sixes.
11:22Unison, orison, but I like that shallot.
11:24I'm just gliding past it gently.
11:26First crack of light for our champion numbers now,
11:29and Boden's picking.
11:302-1, 2-1.
11:31Oh, Colin will be pleased we're getting the classics out.
11:342-1, 2-1.

12:279 take away 5 is 4.
12:29Yep.
12:30Times 75 is 300.
12:33300.
12:34Add the 25, and then 6 add 7 is 13, take it away.
12:39Perfect, 312.
12:40APPLAUSE
12:4444 plus 28, and I've just loved chatting to you all week,
12:48because I never know where you're going to go.
12:50But I am going to start with cold feet.
12:52OK.
12:53But I want to, you know, Jimmy Nesbitt's your friend,
12:56I count him as a friend as well.
12:58With a small f.
12:59OK.
13:00He's a dangerous, dangerous man.
13:02Yeah.
13:03He has his dark ways.
13:05And I bought into them for many years.
13:07But do you know what?
13:08I had a great time while I did it.
13:10I know there's been the reunion, but in terms of friendships,
13:13especially when, say, take James as an example,
13:16he might rush off to film a, you know, Netflix series in New York,
13:21can you keep the friendships going because of the sort of
13:24shared experience that you've had?
13:26We're all still in touch, and we pick up where we left off.
13:29That's exactly how it is.
13:30There's no... You know, we're still...
13:33We all get on, and we all pick up where we left off.
13:36Sometimes I'll actually...
13:39My children get on very well with Hermione's kids,
13:42so we've stayed with her a couple of times in the summer.
13:45Nice. So that's lovely.
13:46Even Jimmy Nesbitt, you keep in touch.
13:48Even Jimmy Nesbitt.
13:49Only the other week, he sent me a picture of himself.
13:52He's honestly so thin, though, he looks like a racing snake.
13:56I don't know what he's doing.
13:58Because it can't be golf. It does a lot of golf, doesn't it?
14:01That's only walking, isn't it?
14:03As Mark Twain said, golf is a walk spoiled.
14:06So, yeah, it's always nice to hear from him.
14:09I love that because you see those bonds on air
14:12in a long-running show, you know?
14:14That's the key. Love it.
14:15Thank you so much for letting us into your world today.
14:21OK, three more rounds before we take another break,
14:24and a very important indeed.
14:26Let's see how Bowdoin gets on.
14:27Maybe you can close that gap a bit, Christy.
14:29You're picking some letters.

15:38Two strong sevens. Like that, John?
15:40Just a six. Bisect.
15:41Yes, very nice.
15:42Cut it half.
15:43Very good, bisect. Anything else?
15:45No, present on seven.
15:46OK, we'll stick with that.
15:48Bowdies and Cagiest.
15:51With our DJ picking the next letter.
15:53I should have mentioned that.
15:54People say they're a DJ.
15:55They're not really.
15:56They just play some records on a Saturday night.
15:58Full-on profession.
15:59And Ibiza dates everything.
16:02I've done six years residency in Ibiza
16:04and I still go every now and again.
16:06And you met your wife there?
16:07Yeah.
16:08On the White Island?
16:09Yeah.
16:10Excellent.
16:11Didn't get married there, though.
16:12No, no, it's too expensive.
16:13Better to get married here.
16:14Right, Bowdoin, let's get some more letters.
16:16Can I start with a consonant, please?
16:18Thank you, Bowdoin.

17:33Gollier?
17:34Gollier, G-O-L-L-I-E-R.
17:37Oh, I did look it up, actually, myself.
17:39It's not there, Bowdoin, I'm so sorry.
17:41Come on, risk it, John, what have you got?
17:43I've got the same as Christy, ye olde grillie.
17:46Yes, yeah.
17:48Anything else there, Suze?
17:49Nothing more at all. It was a lousy round, that one.
17:52All right, I'm not going to criticise you, Bowdoin,
17:54for taking a risk, because when you're behind, that's brilliant.
17:57It's a competition, after all.
17:58But Christy, let's move on to numbers and a tumi.
18:01Two large and four small again, please, Rachel?
18:03No unnecessary risks coming from Christy.
18:06Two large, four little coming up.

21:29Senate.
21:30OK, Senate, yes, very good.
21:31Susie?
21:32Nearest for seven.
21:33And for an eight, you can have an assenter,
21:36somebody who approves or agrees with something.
21:38OK, but A-S-S, so not a centre, as in going up.
21:42No.
21:43No.
21:44Or a shopping centre.
21:45Or a shopping centre!
21:46Exactly.

23:01Figlet?
23:02A little fig.
23:03Yeah.
23:04I love that idea, but it's not in, I'm afraid.
23:06Sorry, Christy.
23:07A piglet, but not a figlet.
23:09Although, if it was a biscuit,
23:11John would love a little figlet, wouldn't he, rather than a figlet?
23:14I love a fig roll.
23:15Yeah.
23:16But they're known as Fig Newtons in America.
23:18Why's that?
23:19Something to do with Isaac.
23:20OK.
23:21Thank you for that.
23:22Maybe it was a fig that fell on his head.
23:26What about a lefty?
23:27Lefty's in there.
23:28Fantastic.
23:29There you go.
23:30That's a good six.
23:31Anything else, Suze?
23:32Nothing beyond six.
23:33Yeah.
23:34I love this game, you know, when you say a deflated just a four.
23:37And that gets you within 20 points,
23:39which is really big in Countdown World.
23:41Four rounds to go, but time now for Dictionary Corner
23:45and Suzy Dent's Origins of Words.
23:47Origins of Words.
23:48I loved yesterday.
23:49Higgledy-piggledy, et cetera, et cetera.
23:51So, where are we going today?
23:52Yes.
23:53Well, today I'm going to talk about the frustrations of English,
23:57because much as we all love it,
23:59and it is a beautifully rich, very deep, gorgeous language,
24:03it does have its idiosyncrasies, as we know, in lots of different ways,
24:07whether it's spelling, often quite a lot of the grammar.
24:09You know, people say,
24:10why does pulchritudinous mean beautiful when it sounds so ugly?
24:14And why is the word for lisping?
24:17Why does it have an S in it, which seems remarkably cruel?
24:20But one of the complaints that I often get by email and on my podcast
24:26is biweekly and bimonthly,
24:28because it seems to be able to mean two things.
24:30In fact, if you look it up in the dictionary,
24:32you'll find it defined as occurring every two weeks
24:35or occurring twice a week.
24:38And sometimes it's really hard to know which one people mean.
24:43Similarly, bimonthly is defined as occurring every two months
24:46or twice a month.
24:47And, you know, you can imagine that the consequences
24:49could be quite dire if you got those wrong.
24:52So the problem lies in that prefix bi,
24:54because it can mean both coming or occurring every two
24:58or two times, twice.
25:01So it's been like that for a very, very long time.
25:04And as I say, it's a good example of the eccentricity of our language.
25:08But we have tried in the past to make a distinction.
25:11We can have biannual for twice a year and biannual for every two years.
25:17But if you look up the evidence in one of the dictionary databases,
25:20you'll see that people are getting those mixed up as well.
25:23It seems like it's just a really thorny issue
25:25that we can't quite get right.
25:27But there is an answer if you are doing this yourself.
25:31So you can't dictate how other people are going to use them.
25:34But if you want to use them yourself, you can use the word semi,
25:37because a semicircle will cut a circle in half.
25:41And so the prefix semi cuts what is...
25:44It cuts something in half, essentially.
25:46So semi-weekly means twice a week.
25:49Semi-monthly means twice a month.
25:51Semi-annual, twice a year.
25:53So that's the option that you can go for that is clear and unambiguous.
25:58Or you could just skip all this altogether and say twice a week
26:01or every other month, which is probably a bit of a mouthful,
26:04but at least it's clear.
26:06I'm afraid I can't, you know, I can't sort it out.
26:09I would love to be able to, but English is a democracy.
26:12But it is a really thorny issue and it really gets on people's nerves.
26:15APPLAUSE
26:18Coming for the bi-final of the FA Cup.
26:20What's the word coming to?
26:22Let's go back to the game.
26:24Bowdoin, you concentrate. Let's get some more letters.
26:27Consonant, please. Thank you, Bowdoin.
26:29R And another.
26:32N And another.

26:44A And another, please.
26:47E And a consonant.

27:28Christy.
27:30A six.
27:32And Bowdoin? Eight.
27:35And the eight?
27:37Excellent. All there for eight. Well done.
27:40APPLAUSE
27:44And all of a sudden the score is telling a very different story.
27:48Christy, our worthy champion, still in the lead in 73.
27:52But Bowdoin's now back within that ten points
27:57as we have three rounds left.
27:59And, champion, you're picking the letters.

28:32MUSIC PLAYS
29:01Bowdoin. Seven.
29:03Christy. Seven.
29:05Bowdoin, what's your word? Gifters.
29:07Gifters. And Christy?
29:09Re-gifts. Re-gifts.
29:11Ooh! And gifters.
29:13Ah, sorry to groan, but, um,
29:16re-gifts is in the dictionary, but there's no gifter,
29:19just a re-gifter, but no gifter on its own.
29:21I'm sorry, Bowdoin. So sorry.
29:23Seems a little cruel to me. It does.
29:25Well, what a gift that was for Christy.
29:2717 points in it.
29:29So, Bowdoin, really vital.
29:31Final numbers round. What are you going to go for?
29:33You know what's coming, don't you?
29:35Of gambling, I'm hoping. Four.
29:37Four. I can see it in your eyes. You're going for it.
29:39You really want this teapot.
29:41Four big, two little.
29:43And the final numbers of the day.
29:45Ten and nine.
29:47This could be a tricky one. We know what's coming.
29:4925, 100, 50 and 75.
29:52And give me a good target. Wow.
29:55670.
29:57670. Last numbers.
30:26MUSIC STOPS
30:30Christy?
30:32671, not written down.
30:34One away, Bowdoin. 665.
30:36Five away, but Christy's hasn't written down,
30:38so this isn't over yet. Let's have it.
30:4075 x 10 is 750.
30:44Yep.
30:46Take away the 50 for 700. 700.
30:48Take away the 25 for 675,
30:50and then 100 over the 20...
30:54I've already used the 25.
30:56Oh, a lifeline, a lifeline for Bowdoin.
30:59It's a big moment. No, I've missed it out.
31:01Oh, no! Bowdoin!
31:03670, Rich.
31:05Oh, boys, you, probably under the pressure,
31:07missed nine times 75 is 675.
31:1150 over 10 is five.
31:13Oh, no! And that's all there was to it.
31:16APPLAUSE
31:19Plenty of people missed it with no pressure on them whatsoever.
31:24Right, there you go.
31:25That brings us to the end of a really enjoyable episode of Countdown.
31:28Christy and Bowdoin, it's not crucial,
31:30but it is today's Countdown conundrum.
31:48MUSIC PLAYS
32:03Oh, so tricky. No luck.
32:05So, one of you two, I'm thinking you might both have it.
32:08So let's go to Rachel.
32:09I think it might be Socialist.
32:11Let's have a look.
32:13Yes.
32:15APPLAUSE
32:18Well, what are we left with?
32:20We're left with a three-time champion in Christy.
32:23Congratulations to you. The hat-trick's up.
32:25I know you're a huge Countdown fan, that's your number one,
32:28but you're a quiz show fanatic,
32:30so what's number two on the television for you?
32:33I'd quite like to do Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
32:36I think that would be...
32:38They can't afford the risk of putting a brain your size
32:41on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,
32:43but I'd like to be your mate if you go on.
32:45Right, Christy, we'll see you back here tomorrow.
32:47It's the final, final day of the week.
32:50I'm afraid, DJ, I'll have to unplug you.
32:53Did you enjoy it?
32:54Yeah, it was amazing.
32:56I'm so happy to have been here.
32:58And also, just to be involved in the drama in a close game,
33:01you go away with your head held high.
33:03Definitely.
33:04All right, thank you for being here.
33:06Well done, Bowdoin, you get the goodie bag.
33:08Christy, more of your story to tell tomorrow.
33:10APPLAUSE
33:13You mentioned Full Of Peppery Goodness earlier.
33:16Susie or John, any misheard lyrics that you've had in your life
33:20where you've gotten it really wrong?
33:22Well, I thought it was The Reverend Blue Jeans.
33:25Neil Diamond.
33:27I thought it was about, like, a preacher that wore a jean.
33:31Reverend Blue Jeans. Susie?
33:33I went to a comic when I was Lord Of The Dance settee
33:36because Jesus was sitting on a sofa, I thought.
33:40Rach?
33:41I thought Queens Don't Stop Me Now instead of Mr Fahrenheit.
33:44I thought they were singing about Mr Butterfly.
33:46Oh, no!
33:47Travelling at the speed of light.
33:49Some people may remember the Pointer Sisters.
33:51As a kid, I used to sing,
33:54I want a man with a slow hand,
33:56I want a mama with a heated brush.
33:59Let's pull the plug on this.
34:01We'll be back tomorrow, though.
