00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34It could easily be the start of rip-off Britain,
00:36bearing in mind who our Dictionary Corner guest is today,
00:39but we'll come to her shortly.
00:41It's all about insuring packages.
00:44Now, apparently, there's a bit of a scam going on,
00:47and basically, when you send a parcel, they offer you insurance
00:51and then you don't really read the small print, do you?
00:54Oh, no. The chap that sent a guitar didn't.
00:58He didn't, and the parcel got lost, and he claimed, and they said,
01:02oh, but you'll understand that your insurance policy, Rachel,
01:05excludes musical instruments.
01:09But I sent a guitar.
01:11They said, well, tough luck, mate.
01:14It said quite clearly, no musical instruments.
01:17Have you ever been sort of, you know, disappointed in an insurance claim?
01:22Not insurance, but you say rip-off Britain,
01:24but rip-off America.
01:25I remember my brother once.
01:26I got him a flight when he came to ski with us,
01:28and we'd paid the extra amount for the luggage, you know, the snowboard,
01:32and they'd lost one of his bits of luggage.
01:35So for the whole trip, I think he had maybe the board but no boots
01:38and about two pairs of pants that he'd shoved into that board
01:40and they'd lost the whole suitcase, and for the whole holiday,
01:43we had to keep schlepping down to the airport to see if they had it.
01:46Didn't have it at all.
01:47They wouldn't even refund the amount for the lost luggage.
01:50You still had to pay the extra luggage fee.
01:52No.
01:54Oh, bad luck.
01:55I don't know what you do.
01:56I don't know what you do.
01:57It's all about trust, I guess, but there we are.
01:59Now, who's with us?
02:00Martin May is back again.
02:02Four great wins, Martin.
02:03Well done.
02:04You've played the blinder.
02:05Extraordinary performances, really.
02:07Almost always over 100.
02:09Now, you're joined by Vicky Griffiths, and Vicky's a student from Lincoln.
02:13Welcome, Vicky.
02:14Now, you've got a lot of animals.
02:16You've got a menagerie at home, seven cats.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Yeah?
02:21You've got two guinea pigs.
02:22How do they all get on?
02:24Well, some of the cats and some of the dogs get along,
02:27but every now and again the cat will sneak past the dog
02:29and just tap it on the head.
02:31OK.
02:32And how are the guinea pigs?
02:34Oh, the guinea pigs are lovely.
02:36We've brought them a little pen so they can come downstairs and roam about.
02:40My sister had a guinea pig, actually, called Lord French.
02:44Very odd name.
02:45I remember going home one day, and my sister was on the floor
02:49drumming her hands and feet on the floor,
02:52screaming, Lord French is dead!
02:55Lord French is dead!
02:57And my pal said, Who's Lord French?
02:59I said, It's the guinea pig, take the notice.
03:01And we stepped over and went on our way.
03:03But our dog killed poor Lord French, so you be careful.
03:06LAUGHTER
03:08Let's have a big round of applause for Vicky and Martin.
03:11APPLAUSE
03:15And over in the corner, Susie, of course,
03:18and the wonderful, rip-off Britain presenter, Gloria Hunnifer.

04:42And Vicky?
04:43Regrows.
04:46Oh, you need two Rs for regrows, Vicky, unfortunately.
04:49I'm sorry.
04:51To come back to jowers,
04:53it's an old and derogatory term for a non-Muslim,
04:57especially a Christian.
04:59Nice.
05:00Jower.
05:01Thank you. Now, what about the corner?
05:03What have we got?
05:04Nothing. Nothing that would better that.
05:06Hardly got beyond rouge.
05:08No, but grouse is nice.
05:10Yeah, grouse, of course, yes.
05:11That'll do.
05:12But not better.
05:13Nonetheless, it's worth a shot.
05:15Oh, Vicky, your letters again.

06:42Well, we can rescue...

06:45So wise.
06:46Evasion also, there are quite a few sevens.
06:48Thank you very much.
06:50And thank you for that, Gloria.
06:5214 points to Martin.

08:25Oh, is that right?
08:26Yep, impossible, so well done.
08:27Well done there, Martin.
08:28Now, let's have a tea time teaser.
08:30With the score standing 21 for Martin,
08:32he had to score, as I say, early days.

08:37as a kid, you may have had to label parts of a flower
08:41in this outdoor biology lesson.

09:08I left with the clue, as a kid,
09:10you may have had to label parts of a flower

13:13MUSIC PLAYS
13:32Vicky?
13:33No.
13:34No. How about Martin?
13:36745.
13:37Yes, sir.
13:3875 x 10 is 750.
13:40Yep.
13:418 minus 2 minus 1 is 5.
13:43That's the one.
13:44Take it away.
13:45That'll do.
13:46745.
13:47Well done. Well done indeed.
13:48APPLAUSE
13:52So, Martin, up to 44.
13:54We turn to Gloria.
13:56I hear you watch another glamorous film premiere.
13:58Well, now, I don't know how many of you are Mamma Mia,
14:01you know, ABBA fans, but I love the music anyway.
14:04It's very joyous.
14:05And you're right, in this business,
14:07we're lucky to get invited sometimes to the premieres.
14:09It was a world premiere, so they were all there,
14:12but they had a blue carpet as opposed to a red carpet,
14:15just went for miles, and the world's photographers were in.
14:18And all the main stars came.
14:20It's very rare you see Meryl Streep and Cher and Colin Firth
14:24and Pierce Brosnan and Tom Hanks, you know, all in the one spot.
14:28So they're all gawking, literally.
14:30And it's rare these days to get a big after-show party,
14:33because there's not the same money around.
14:35But anyway, there was, and it was...
14:37The film was joyous, just had a wonderful night,
14:39and we were at the party,
14:41and Pierce Brosnan was just sitting out here with Martin sitting,
14:45and I'm trying not to look.
14:46You know that bit where you're going like that all the time?
14:49And I'd interviewed him a few times,
14:51but I was telling my tape of the story, and here's how it goes,
14:54because Pierce comes to Ireland quite a bit,
14:57and when he gets there, he can have a pint of the black stuff,
15:00he can sit in the chair with his Irish times,
15:03and he just loves it, and people leave him alone.
15:06So one day he was doing that, and the two fingers,
15:09two nicotine fingers came over the paper and went like this
15:12and pulled the paper down.
15:14And your man goes,
15:15Up, Pierce, now, I know it's great to see you now, grand to see you,
15:18and I know you just want to be left alone,
15:20but he said, I just want to shake your hand.
15:23He said, I want to touch the hand.
15:25He said, that's the closest I'll ever be to Halle Berry's ass.
15:32But then the thing is for me,
15:35and I have to go a bit like this now,
15:37I sort of looked over as I told the story,
15:39and he said, glorious, long time since I've seen you,
15:41and I said, I've just been telling that story,
15:43and he verified that it was true,
15:45because I wasn't sure whether we'd added to it over the years.
15:48It was a very good night,
15:50and if you just want a simple, joyous night out,
15:53it is fabulous, really good.
15:55Brilliant.
15:59Thank you, thank you.
16:01So, 44 plays six.
16:03Martin, 44, where shall we go?
16:05Let's go to Martin, let us go.

17:27That's the only one we could go to.
17:29We were also thinking of Peter Sprosn anyway,
17:31so that's all we could think of.
17:33That's it.

18:57A thyrid.
19:01It's not there, I'm afraid.
19:03Thyrid, just there as a noun.
19:05Sorry, Martin.
19:07Anything else?
19:09Not really. Oh, you had, like, a theroid.
19:11Not a thyroid.
19:13I mean, I would have a thyroid problem,
19:15but you were spelling it differently.
19:17Yes. T-H-E-R-O-I-D.
19:19It's a pretty rare adjective,
19:21meaning bestial,
19:23I'm sorry.
19:25Ancient Greek.
19:27Yeah, probably.
19:29Thank you, Gloria.
19:31All right, 50-10, and we turn to Martin now.

24:41We're back with you now.
24:43What have you for us this afternoon on your origins of words?
24:46Thanks, Nick.
24:48I have an email from Audrey Jones from Caerphilly in South Wales,
24:52who actually asked about three different words,
24:55not particularly connected,
24:57and she'd like to know the origins
24:59of foolhardy, crestfallen and heartstrings.
25:02So I'll try and whiz through those three.
25:05First of all, crestfallen obviously means
25:08or depressed, in low spirits in some way.
25:11And a crest is the tuft or ridge of feathers
25:14on top of the heads of many kinds of birds.
25:17It's called the comb, obviously,
25:19when it's on top of a chicken or a rooster.
25:21But that word crest goes back to the Latin crista,
25:24which meant a tuft or a plume of some kind.
25:27And when birds are happy, their crests are raised.
25:32So if they're feeling self-confident or just simply content,
25:36their crests will be slightly raised, those plumes.
25:39And when they're angry or fearful, then they will fall.
25:43And it's thought that it's in...
25:45Chris Packer would know far more about this than me,
25:47but it's thought that it's in preparation for combat.
25:50So obviously when they're a little bit dejected as well, perhaps,
25:53their crests fall down.
25:55So it's definitely a reflection of emotions.
25:58Of course, humans don't have crests,
26:00but as ever, we transfer sort of literal expressions, if you like,
26:05figurative human feelings, etc.
26:07And that's exactly what we did.
26:09Since the 16th century, people have been crestfallen.
26:12So that explains that.
26:14Perhaps they've been crestfallen after an episode of foolhardiness.
26:17And that's the easiest one of the trio, really,
26:19because that's simply a combination of foolish and hardy
26:22in the sense of being really daring and bold.
26:24Too daring or bold, because to be foolhardy, of course,
26:27is to be recklessly rash.
26:29And finally, the heartstrings.
26:31This goes back to a belief which persisted for many centuries,
26:35that the heart was suspended on chord-like structures, so real strings.
26:40So if you look at anatomical textbooks from even the 15th century,
26:46you will find reference to these heartstrings.
26:49And because, since Galen, the ancient Greek physician,
26:54since he thought that the heart was the centre of all heat and emotion
26:59the heartstrings were incredibly important
27:01because they kept everything in place.
27:03So now, if something tugs at our heartstrings,
27:05they're almost tugging at the very root of our deep emotions.
27:10And, yeah, as I say, it's a very, very old one,
27:12at least the 15th century, probably before then.
27:15Wonderful. Thank you.
27:1975 to 10. Vicky, your letter's game now.
27:22Can I start with a consonant, please?
27:24Thank you, Vicky. G.

28:31And a six. Vicky?
28:33Laugh.
28:34Thank you. Martin?
28:36A light. Yeah.
28:37Yeah.
28:38And a train.
28:39I feel used to seeing this corner.
28:41Me too.
28:42Not too much there, is there?
28:44That was yours.
28:45Yeah, that was ours as well.
28:47Thank you. All right.
28:49Now, Martin, final letter's game for you.
28:51Can I start with a vowel, please?
28:53Thank you, Martin.

29:52MUSIC PLAYS
29:58Martin?
29:59Eight.
30:00And Vicky?
30:01Five.
30:02And your five, Vicky?
30:03Dream.
30:04Thank you, Martin.
30:05And muriated.
30:07Oh, that's a good one.
30:09Um...
30:11Muriate's certainly there as a thought or derivative of muric acid.
30:16Muriatic acid, I should say, which is another term for hydrochloric acid.
30:20Muriated isn't there.
30:22It's not there as an adjective, I'm afraid.
30:24And over in the corner, what are you up to?
30:26Well, matured, I have.
30:27Very good.
30:28But I think Susie's got a bigger word. That was seven.
30:31Yeah, there are a couple of eights.
30:33In fact, a mudirate is, in Egypt and Turkey,
30:37the jurisdiction of a mudir, so a governor of a sub-district there.
30:41That will give you an eight.
30:43And also, simpler, perhaps, a drumbeat.
30:45The drumbeat of war, yeah.
30:47Thank you for that.
30:50OK.
30:51So, into the final numbers game.
30:53Vicky, it's yours.
30:55Can I have two from the top and four little ones, please?
30:58You can indeed, thank you, Vicky. Final one of the day.
31:00Two large, four little.
31:01And the four little ones are...
31:03Seven, one, six and five,
31:07and the large two, 50 and 100.
31:10And the target...
31:12593.
31:14593.
31:20BELL RINGS
31:46Yes, Vicky?
31:48599.
31:50599. And, Martin?
31:53593.
31:54593, yes, sir.
31:56Off you go.
31:57100 times six minus seven.
31:59Yeah, well done. 593.
32:01So, 91 plays 15 as we go into the final round.
32:06Now, then, fingers on buzzers, Vicky, Martin.
32:10Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:13BELL RINGS
32:18CLOCK TICKS
32:39BELL RINGS
32:41Martin?
32:43Flexitime.
32:45Flexitime. Let's see whether you're right.
32:48I think you might be. There it is. Well done.
32:51APPLAUSE
32:53Well done, Martin.
32:55Well done, Martin. Bad luck, Vicky.
32:57You came on the wrong day.
32:59Yes.
33:00Because this Martin May, five great wins,
33:02pretty much all over 100,
33:04so you came up against the best player, I think, in this series.
33:07So, well done. Thank you.
33:09You take this goodie bag back to Lincoln,
33:11back to the cats and dogs and the guinea pigs,
33:14all of whom have been watching you avidly throughout this performance.
33:17Well done, and thanks for coming.
33:19Martin May tomorrow, looking for your six wins.
33:22Fantastic performance so far. Well done.
33:25Don't lose that touch. Don't lose that touch.
33:28Now, then, see you tomorrow?
33:30Yes, I'll be doing my sit-in as from tomorrow,
33:32because tomorrow's my last day.
33:34And, you see, I've got to wait and see what happens with Martin.
33:37I know. It's extraordinary. I'll sit in the audience. It's OK.
33:40Please do. Please do. We'll see you tomorrow.
33:43See you tomorrow, Susie? Yeah.
33:45He's quite extraordinary.
33:47I mean, don't let him hear what we're saying, but he's not bad, is he?
33:50Speaking of insurance policies at the top of the show,
33:52we should offer them for the contestants that have to come up against him.
33:55Some form of compensation. That's a good idea.
33:57It's not fair, really, is it? No. No, indeed.
33:59Let's see what happens tomorrow. Looking forward to that, Rachel.
34:02See you then. We'll see you tomorrow.
34:04Join us tomorrow. See what Martin gets up to.
34:06Same time, same place. You'll be sure of it.
34:08A very good afternoon to you.
