00:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio
00:34on the very day that way back in 1969
00:37one of the most famous and fabulous musical festivals came to an end.
00:42It came to an end in Woodstock, upstate New York.
00:46It was billed as an Aquarian exposition.
00:49Of course, it was known as the Age of Aquarius in those days.
00:52Three days of peace and music.
00:55500,000 attended and apparently up to a million people
00:59were on their way but got turned back cos there wasn't any room for them.
01:03It was fantastic. Sheffield's Joe Cocker.
01:06Remember Joe Cocker in your lifetime?
01:08Maybe not. Very, very, very hoarse sort of voice.
01:12He belted out that Beatles favourite with a little help from my friends.
01:16But the big deal was at the very end when Jimi Hendrix
01:20stood there with his guitar and banged out Star Spangled Banner
01:25as it had never been played before. I'd love to have been there.
01:28Could you imagine the queue for the toilets?
01:30Ever practical, Rachel. Miles and miles and miles, I bet.
01:33I've only been to one music festival, which was WOMAD,
01:37which is something about world of music and dance or something.
01:40OK. But you go. You're the right age.
01:42I've been to a few. Where have you been recently?
01:45I've never done the camping or glamping or anything like that
01:48but I went to British Summertime in Hyde Park in July
01:51and I saw Backstreet Boys and McBusted.
01:54And it was good? They were really good, actually, yeah.
01:57A night-time job?
01:59Yeah, it was in the middle of all the gorgeous summer, all the sunshine.
02:03It was like monsoon season.
02:05It was umbrellas up and down, up and down, but it was a really good show.
02:08Great stuff. Yeah, really good fun.
02:10Now then, Rachel, who have we got?
02:12We have got Mark Davis with us from Widness.
02:14We all know about Widness, but what we really rejoice in
02:17is six extraordinary wins,
02:20including the massive score of 137 points on Friday,
02:25which you may be interested in, though.
02:27Mark is just nine short of our all-time record.
02:30So you've got every reason to be proud, and so have your two nippers.
02:34It was a fabulous performance.
02:36Now then, you're joined by Stella Mobont,
02:39a retired schoolteacher from York, one-time army officer,
02:42and now is a vocalist, a singer, I guess, in a chamber choir.
02:46Where do you sing?
02:48In Harrogate. It's a 40-strong choir
02:51and we sing concerts and weddings and things in various churches in Harrogate.
02:55That's wonderful, because the whole idea of choirs now has sprung up.
02:58It's extraordinary, isn't it?
03:00Every big city firm now has got its own choir.
03:03It's wonderful, really.
03:05Well, welcome. Thank you.
03:07And you take care of Mark Davis over there.
03:09Let's have a big round of applause for Stella and Mark Davis.
03:14APPLAUSE
03:17And for her second appearance, of course,
03:20we have the wonderful, the brilliant Angelica Bell,
03:23joined in Dictionary Corner as ever by the wonderful Suzy Dent.
03:27Welcome to you both. Thank you.
03:29Now let's get down to business.
03:31Shelby, Mark, would you do the honours, take us away on a letters game?
03:35Can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
03:37Thank you, Mark. Start the week with T.
03:40And another.
03:42M.
03:44And another.
03:46W.
03:48And a vowel.
03:50O.
03:52And another.
03:54U.
03:56And a third.
03:58E.
04:00And a consonant.
04:02J.
04:04And a consonant.
04:06P.
04:08And a final consonant.
04:10And a final G.
04:12Stand by.
04:41Yes, Mark?
04:43It's the five.
04:44A five. Stella?
04:46Only a four.
04:47A four. And your four?
04:49Pout.
04:50Pout and...?
04:51Tempo.
04:52Tempo.
04:53Very nice.
04:54Pout and tempo.
04:55Yes.
04:56What news? Angelica? Suzy?
04:58Well, I've got poem, which is not very good, but...
05:01Well, it was a really tough one. Yeah.
05:03Talking about pouting, there is a nice French word
05:06that's in the English dictionary.
05:08It's only for four, but it's connected,
05:11because it means to pout or sulk in French,
05:13and that's moue, M-O-U-E.
05:15M-O-U-E. Really?
05:17It's a pouting expression used to convey annoyance or distaste.
05:21The French can do that rather well, actually.
05:23They can.
05:25Very good. Five points to Mark, and we turn to Stella. Stella?
05:28Hello, Rachel. Can I have a consonant, please?

06:48Hearsay.
06:50A shamer?
06:51No shamer, I'm afraid, Stella.
06:53I didn't think there would be.
06:55Sorry. Hearsay's very good.
06:57All right. What else have we got? Any improvements?

10:37Dosiest.
10:38The dosiest.
10:40And Mark?
10:41Destines?
10:42Yes.
10:43Um, dosiest, I'm afraid, Stella, you're right,
10:45is a Z rather than an S, sorry.
10:47Destines, brilliant.
10:49To destine is to intend or choose for a particular purpose or end.
10:53I see, well done, Mark.
10:56Very good indeed.
10:5730 points to ten and it's Mark's letters game now.

12:20Two good ones, you are.
12:21Yes.
12:22What else have we got? Angelica, anything interesting?
12:24We've got outrage, outage.
12:26Yes.
12:27There's exactor.
12:29Somebody who demands something is an exactor.
12:32That's number seven.
12:33Right.
12:34An exactor.
12:35Sounds ugly to me.
12:36It does sound a bit ugly.
12:37I think what he does is probably quite ugly as well.
12:39Enforcer.
12:40Yes.
12:41So if you exact promises from somebody, you are an exactor.
12:45OK.
12:46Thank you very much, Susie.
12:47Thank you very much, Susie.

13:012, 4, 1, 3, 6 and 9.
13:08Could be tricky.
13:10The target, 302.

14:03Very nicely done. 302.
14:05Well done. Well done, Mark.
14:07APPLAUSE
14:09Very good.
14:11So, 47 plays 17.
14:13But now it's our chance to talk to Angelica.
14:15And, Angelica, you were right in at the start of The One Show
14:18and have been there ever since as a reporter.
14:21Tell us a little bit about the sort of things you get up to.
14:24I think what I love about The One Show
14:26is that you get to do a variety of things
14:28and sort of delve into a variety of topics.
14:31I've done some random things,
14:33whether it's been the birth of the largest litter of dogs
14:37to working with Claude Littner, who you know.
14:41We set up a sort of like a surgery on Watford High Street
14:44about getting people to come in to say, you know,
14:47how would you ask your boss for a pay rise?
14:49And he was giving tips on what you should say to your boss.
14:52I took some valuable lessons from him.
14:54Got that pay rise.
14:55And, you know, various things.
14:57A couple of months ago, I went to Newcastle University
14:59and I don't know, many people didn't know
15:01that Martin Luther King got an honorary degree
15:03from Newcastle University.
15:05He came into the country for 24 hours, you know,
15:07and got the degree and then went back
15:09and then he, you know, assassinated, you know,
15:11a few months after that.
15:13You know, did something on dominoes and NHS spectacles.
15:18A couple of weeks ago, I did something on that.
15:20Yes.
15:21Yeah, so it's interesting about how the NHS,
15:24how everyone was allowed to have them,
15:26but how they were so awful and ugly
15:28and it did affect a lot of people.
15:30But, you know, now we're all wearing nice specs
15:32and they're looking wonderful
15:33and you're looking very great as well.
15:35So, yeah, it's a variety of subjects
15:36and I get to meet interesting people
15:38that I wouldn't normally have a voice
15:40and I've got something to share
15:41because I think, no matter,
15:42it doesn't mean you have to be famous,
15:44but you still have a story to give
15:46and something to share.
15:47Now, of course, the fashion thing.
15:49Let me tell you about Claude for a second.
15:50Yes.
15:51He's a nice chap.
15:52He was giving tips about how to get a pay rise.
15:54Yes, and he told me a lot about you.
15:56Claude has never given anybody a pay rise.
15:59He's notorious for not giving people pay rises.
16:03But he had some good tips and a lot of people came in.
16:06It's interesting to know that a lot of people
16:07are quite wary to go to ask their boss for a rise.
16:13But you have to feel that if you're valuable
16:15to a company and you're an asset,
16:17you should go in.
16:18They can always say no.
16:19Your boss can always say no,
16:20but at least you've asked.
16:21Of course, the danger always is,
16:23they'll say,
16:24actually, I've been meaning to talk to you
16:25about your level of pay
16:27and, in fact, we're thinking about cutting it.
16:29Then you just say, see ya.
16:31Bye, I'll get another one.
16:32Well done.
16:33Thank you very much, Angelica.
16:34And now we're turning back to Mark.
16:37Mark, letters again.
16:39OK, can I start with a consonant, please, Rachel?
16:41Thank you, Mark.

17:59It is the solid part of a parapet.
18:03And it's absolutely brilliant.
18:05Ultimately from the Italian for battlement.
18:08Extraordinary.
18:10Were we having a stab in the dark, or did you know that?
18:13I knew that, yeah.
18:14You didn't knew it?
18:15Yeah.
18:16Good for you.
18:17Now, what about the corner?
18:18What news, Angelica?
18:21Me?
18:22I didn't get a very good...
18:24I didn't get a good word. I just said ruler.
18:26Yes.
18:27And Stella, you might kick yourself.
18:29You could have put the E-R on mourn and have mourner.
18:32Oh.
18:33I know.
18:34I thought I'd use the R.
18:36But there were two.
18:37Yes, there were.
18:38Well done. All right.

21:19And then eight minus six...
21:21Is the two, for one away.
21:23And Stella, same route?
21:25Yes, exactly the same.
21:26All right, just let Mark have a glance
21:29before we turn to Rachel to see how it's done properly.
21:33You could have said six plus six is 12,
21:36minus eight is four.
21:38Add to 50 for 54,
21:40times that by seven for 378,
21:43and take away the 25.
21:45Look at that.
21:46Lovely stuff.
21:48Well done, Rachel. Well done.
21:50Brilliant.
21:51So, 67 plays a 24,
21:53as we sweep effortlessly into a teatime teaser,
21:56which is Ben's line, and the clue...
21:58Ben's line was in the water for ages,

22:02Ben's line was in the water for ages,

22:07BELL RINGS
22:15APPLAUSE
22:21Welcome back. I left with a clue.
22:23Ben's line was in the water for ages,
22:25but all he caught were these.
22:27He caught blennies.
22:29Blennies. Susie, help me out with blennies.
22:31They're small, spiny-finned marine fishnick.
22:34They have scaleless skin and a blunt head,
22:36and you'll find them in shallow, inshore waters.
22:39And you don't really want them?
22:41I don't think so.
22:42Not... Well, no, there's lots of different types.
22:44There's an eel blenny,
22:46and it comes from the Greek meaning mucus,
22:48so I think we'll leave it there.

26:14That's it.
26:15All right, all right.
26:1680 points, nonetheless, to Mark.
26:18Stella on 31.
26:20But now it's time for Susie.
26:22Susie, what have you got for us today?
26:25Susie's origins of words.
26:27Well, I'm going to just touch very briefly on blue-blooded snobs
26:33and where both terms came from.
26:36I'll start with snob because the very original meaning of that
26:39was a shoemaker or a cobbler.
26:41In fact, a snob once meant somebody of very low-standing social status,
26:46somebody who was quite humble in origins.
26:48And it was only much later that it began to be applied to people
26:51who were trying to imitate somebody superior or of higher social standing.
26:56And, of course, it then came to have the meaning that we know it has today.
26:59But it completely flipped over the centuries.
27:01Blue-blooded goes back to the 8th century
27:04when the Moors invaded Spain for the first time
27:07and much of the country was under Moorish rule.
27:10And during the Middle Ages, fair-skinned Europeans called all Asian people
27:14and darker-skinned people from the Mediterranean Moors.
27:18Meanwhile, members of the aristocracy with particularly pale skin
27:22as a result of never intermarrying, I guess, with the Moorish population
27:25were called sangre azul or blue blood.
27:28And the idea was that the veins under the skin
27:31appear much more visible in pale skin than it does in darker skin.
27:35And, of course, we know that the white Spanish nobility
27:38thought themselves fundamentally different from the Moors,
27:41were very snobbish about it, worse probably.
27:44And, sadly, they thought the Moors totally socially inferior,
27:47which is why blue-blooded began to be associated
27:50with somebody of higher social standing.
27:52Today it's neutralised a little bit,
27:54so it means somebody perhaps of royal blood or aristocratic blood,
27:57but it's still got that sense of looking down on people
27:59who didn't have those blue veins poking through their pale skin.
28:02Excellent stuff. Thank you. Very good.
28:05Very good as ever.
28:07APPLAUSE
28:10Excellent. Thank you, Susie. 80 points to Stellars 31.

32:54Well done, Stella.
32:55You focked Mr Davies there.
32:57But 93 still pays 47.
33:01You've kept Mark under 100 so far.
33:03But let's go into the conundrum round.
33:05So, fingers on buzzers, please, Mark, Stella.
33:07Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:15He's very fast, is Mark Davies.
33:17Yes, Mark?
33:18Reassured.
33:19Reassured.
33:20Tremendously quick.
33:22Let's see whether you're right.
33:24Look at that.
33:25Wonderful.
33:26Wonderful.
33:29Wonderful. Well done, Mark.
33:31As quick as ever.
33:33So, Stella, we're sending you home to York with your goodie bag
33:37and our warmest wishes.
33:38But I must tell you, you subdued him.
33:41He only got 103.
33:43That's down to you.
33:44Because on Friday, 137.
33:47So, well done.
33:49Mark Davies, until tomorrow, seven wins.
33:54You're in OctoChamp territory now.
33:57We'll keep a close eye on you tomorrow.
33:59So, have an early night.
34:01No more night clubbing.
34:03I'll do my best.
34:04All right.
34:05We'll see you tomorrow.
34:06See you tomorrow over there, Susie and Angelica.
34:08Well done.
34:09So, tomorrow's tomorrow.
34:10Let's see how we go.
34:11We may be able to get rid of him tomorrow.
34:12What do you think?
34:13I think we're definitely going to get rid of him tomorrow.
34:15Either way.
34:16Either way, indeed.
34:17Well done.
34:18See you tomorrow.
34:19Come and watch Mark Davies leave this studio one way or the other.
34:22An OctoChamp or defeated.
