00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown this Friday afternoon.
00:35Just five shows left of Series 87,
00:38with all roads leading to next Thursday's big final.
00:43The Countdown trophy in grey, a very lovely guy.
00:46He just has six names with him at the moment.
00:49That'll go down to five in about 45 minutes from now
00:52in our third quarterfinal.
00:54Happy Friday, Rachel. Happy Friday, Colin.
00:57Today, International Women in Engineering Day.
01:00Not just a huge feat, but important because,
01:03like so many industries,
01:05it is littered with lack of opportunity for women,
01:08but also great inventors who were never really given the credit
01:12or weren't taken seriously, but now, looking back,
01:16they're pivotal to so much that we use in modern society.
01:20We talked about this off-air.
01:22We could probably pick maybe, you know, ten names each,
01:25but let's highlight a couple of great women engineers.
01:28Well, I like these days.
01:30It gives you an opportunity to find out about someone you didn't know about.
01:33So I was reading about a lady called Dr Agnes Kaposi,
01:36who was born in Hungary.
01:38She's just written a book called Yellow Star, Red Star,
01:41so she managed to be on the only train to Auschwitz
01:43that didn't go to the camp.
01:45So she survived the Holocaust,
01:47and then she found herself in communist Hungary,
01:49managed to escape that,
01:51and came to Kingston University and then the South Bank.
01:54She was one of 15 out of 1,600 lecturers
01:59who was a woman who taught engineering,
02:02and she managed to get computers in
02:04when people were saying, it's just a passing fad.
02:07She made this whole new course,
02:09and she just sounds like a fascinating woman,
02:11and now she does a lot of education in getting women in
02:14and also Holocaust education, so...
02:16That's amazing. Not to her today.
02:18Yeah, and you say computers.
02:20Ada Lovelace is the...
02:22Every time you type, every time you lift your phone,
02:24you can credit her.
02:26Yeah, I think the first computer programmer.
02:28Unbelievable. Go on, the girls.
02:30If only we had someone remarkable in Dictionary Corner
02:32that could live up to this day.
02:34I mean, it is just perfect.
02:36In Dictionary Corner for the next five shows,
02:39alongside our G of the Day, Susie Dent.
02:42Well, listen, she's my favourite space scientist.
02:45She's the only space scientist, no,
02:47but if I knew a galaxy full of space scientists,
02:49she'd still be my favourite.
02:51A doctorate in mechanical engineering.
02:54We welcome back Maggie Aderin-Polcock.
03:00Right, let's introduce our third quarterfinal.
03:04Now, revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold,
03:08and the winner of this today will face Cillian McMulcan.
03:11Ha-ha. Hello, Peter Burke.
03:13Hello. How are you?
03:15Seven wins, my friend.
03:17And you're on a collision course if you win today with Cillian.
03:20Never heard of him, sorry.
03:22You face Greg Pearce. Lovely to have you back, mate.
03:24Hello, Colin.
03:26So the one thing when you were on before, six wins,
03:28and I think you brought, like, six suits.
03:30So the big question is, have you invested in three more
03:33with the hope of getting to the final?
03:35I don't think I'm going to be needing three.
03:37I don't think I'm going to be needing more than one.
03:39Listen, we will see.
03:41I think it's going to be very, very close indeed.
03:43It's lovely to have you both back.
03:45Greg and Peter, good luck.

05:33We are. Lots of different definitions.
05:35Someone who toys with ideas.
05:37And in jazz, it's a vocalist or a musician
05:39who kind of improvises
05:41and does lots of melodic ornamentation.

09:45I say tartar.
09:47Whitebait is the answer.
09:49Whitebait is the answer.
09:51Greg Pearce against Peter Burke.
09:53It's going to be intriguing all the way, I'm sure of it.

11:36Yeah, not in, I'm afraid.
11:38There are cardies, carnies, that kind of thing,
11:40but not carties. I'm sorry, Greg.
11:42No worries at all.
11:44You had that nice cushion, didn't you, Greg?
11:46So that only pulls it back to all,
11:48even a 20-point seat.
11:50What else do we have in Dictionary Corner?
11:52We've got an eight.
11:54Assuricate.
11:56That sounds like it's 15 letters in it, assuricate.
11:58That's only an eight.
12:00Suricate, yes.
12:02S-U-R-I-C-A-T-E.

13:32Nope, afraid not. Nope.
13:34Good. That'll do.
13:36Lovely. Let's get back to the numbers.
13:38Greg?
13:40Rachel, may I have one big one, please?
13:42You're not going for six small, then?
13:44Not this round, anyway.
13:46One large and five little this time.
13:48And they are six,
13:50four, three,
13:52eight, seven
13:54and 100.
13:56And the target?
13:58999.
14:00Nine, nine, nine.
14:02Let's do it.
14:18MUSIC PLAYS
14:34Much more straightforward. Greg?
14:36999, not completely written down.
14:38And Peter? 999.
14:40Yeah, go ahead, Greg.
14:42100 times by seven plus three...
14:44Times by seven plus three is 1,000.
14:461,000.
14:48And then I go on.
14:50Six take away four is two.
14:52You get stuck.
14:54Yeah. You get very stuck.
14:56That's why it wasn't written down.
14:58Peter?
15:00Six plus four is ten.
15:02Times 100.
15:041,000.
15:06Eight minus seven is one.
15:08I think Greg found the only way that would lead to a dead end.
15:10APPLAUSE
15:12It's only easy when you see it.
15:14Let's see it. Let's take a little break
15:16from our third quarterfinal
15:18of Series 87.
15:20Maggie Adderham-Polcock.
15:22You know, since you've been on Dictionary Corner,
15:24I've been following you. Not stalking you.
15:26There's a very fine line. I've been following you, though.
15:28So much has gone on.
15:30You were on this list
15:32of the most important people in Britain.
15:34That impressed me loads.
15:36There was a Barbie doll, wasn't there?
15:38There was. Wow. I know.
15:40I've got it here. No!
15:42You've got to tell me if it looks like me.
15:44Because, to me, this was made by Mattel.
15:46It's so good.
15:48And they actually, yeah, made me into a Barbie doll.
15:50I couldn't believe it.
15:52And I think they got my twists
15:54and the purple bits and everything.
15:56But, yeah, every year they celebrate
15:58scientists and engineers, female scientists and engineers,
16:00and this year they celebrated me.
16:02Is that the most bizarre thing that's happened to you
16:06or in such a varied career in life?
16:08Is there anything close to having a Barbie doll made of me?
16:11Actually, there was something that happened a few years ago.
16:14I became a space scientist because of lots of different things.
16:17The moon landing, things like that.
16:19But one of the main factors was the Clangers.
16:21And in every interview I've ever done, I've said,
16:23yeah, I became a space scientist because of the Clangers.
16:25And so they made a film, one of the Clangers films,
16:28because they rebooted the Clangers,
16:30and they made this film and it has a Maggie doll.
16:32And so, as a child, I dreamt of going to visit the Clangers.
16:35And in this film, there's Matt actually shaking hands
16:38with one of the Clangers.
16:40And there was tears streaming down my eyes when I saw it
16:43because it was my crazy dream coming true.
16:45That is amazing.
16:46I don't know why you say congratulations,
16:48but it's you just being brilliant.
16:50Thank you, Maggie.
16:51APPLAUSE

25:27Yes.
25:28Excellent. Maggie?
25:29No.
25:30LAUGHTER
25:31Thumbs down for Maggie here.
25:32LAUGHTER
25:33There you go.
25:34You've outdone Dictionary Corner.
25:36Well done, Peter.
25:37Well done, Greg.
25:3874-48.
25:39So not a done deal yet.
25:40Four rounds still to play
25:42as we break for Origins of Words this Friday afternoon.
25:46Susie?
25:47The word trivial,
25:48which is obviously not what we are witnessing today.
25:51This is a really important contest.
25:53But it's just, again, got a really neat etymology, I think,
25:57because for the Romans,
25:58a trivium was where three roads would meet.
26:01So you've got tri meaning three and via meaning way,
26:04as in viaduct, viable, all sorts of things.
26:07And that's where we get trivial from.
26:09And the popular story
26:10of something being quite insignificant and not important,
26:13it is explained by the fact
26:15that at this trivium in Roman times,
26:17people would meet at the crossroads
26:20and exchange kind of idle gossip, if you like.
26:23So where these three roads met, people would gather and have a chat.
26:27And that is quite feasible.
26:29But there was another thing that really propelled trivial on its way,
26:32and that was medieval universities
26:34who would offer quite a basic introductory course for students.
26:38And there were three subjects there, grammar, rhetoric and logic.
26:42And these went also by the name of trivium.
26:45And the earliest uses of trivial in English relate to this course,
26:48which was seen as being sort of quite fundamental in some ways
26:51but also quite basic.
26:53And we think it's from there that sort of the idea of trivial
26:56and not quite deep enough emerged.
26:58Thank you, Susie.
27:01OK, here we go.
27:03Greg Pearce, I'll simply say this.
27:05Stranger things have happened. Let's get letters.

28:28You know I'm going straight to Susie Dent.
28:30You have matrices with the S on the end,
28:32but the singular is matrix, I'm afraid.
28:34I'm sorry about that, Greg.
28:36What have we got in Dictionary Corners?
28:38We have another seven.
28:39Yes.
28:40Erotica.

30:18Maggie's having a great day.
30:21It's 16.
30:23I get you now.
30:2516. Very good indeed.
30:27Very good. 16.
30:29It always confuses me when it's a number in the letters round.
30:3216 to 7.
30:33We might need to bring in a rule.
30:35Just don't confuse me.
30:37Right.
30:3887, 54.
30:39Two rounds left.
30:40Over is a contest.
30:42Greg, so let's enjoy this.
30:44Let's enjoy this.

30:47Now, I think I'll have one large one and five small,
30:50if you don't mind.
30:51One large, five little.
30:52Yeah, let's go mad.
30:53Why not?
30:54Last one of the week.
30:55Yeah.
30:56Let's have a bit of fun, eh?
30:58One, five,
31:00nine, two,
31:02four and 75.
31:05And the target, 510.
31:08510, numbers up.
31:35MUSIC STOPS
31:41510, the target.
31:43Greg?
31:44510.
31:45Get in, get in.
31:46Peter?
31:47510.
31:48510 it is.
31:49What a shame, eh?
31:50What a shame.
31:51It's just showboating now.
31:52All right, Greg, off you go.
31:53OK.
31:54Erm...
31:559 minus 2 is 7.
31:57Yep.
31:58Times that by the 75,
32:00for 525.
32:02525.
32:034 minus 1 equals 3.
32:05It does.
32:06Times it by the remaining 5.
32:07Lovely.
32:0815.
32:09And take away.
32:10Yes.
32:1110 points.
32:12APPLAUSE
32:13Peter, same way, different way?
32:15Different for me.
32:16I did 2 plus 1 is 3.
32:182 plus 1, 3.
32:19Times 9.
32:20Times 9 is 27.
32:22Add that to the 75.
32:2475, 102.
32:25And multiply by 5.
32:27Yep.
32:28510.
32:29APPLAUSE
32:32510 plus 64.
32:34Peter needs to send a message to his arch-nemesis,
32:38Killian McMulcan,
32:39by making sure you put up a three-figure score here.
32:42Or he's going to come in with too much confidence.
32:44He needs to see that you mean business.
32:46So let's get your finger in that buzzer.
32:48And, Greg, wouldn't it be brilliant?
32:50Back-to-back tens, 74 points in the bank would be fantastic.
32:53So here we go.
32:54Third quarterfinal of Series 87,
32:56let's reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:00BELL RINGS
33:02Peter, for the century.
33:03Is this Admiralty?

33:09We salute you, Peter Burke.
33:11Well done.
33:12Greg, win or lose,
33:13I know you absolutely revel in every minute here.
33:16Absolutely.
33:17We've talked about it.
33:18Absolutely.
33:19My initial goal was just not to get annihilated in my first game.
33:22Yeah.
33:23So to win six in a row is an absolute bonus.
33:25Listen, you're very excited.
33:27I'm worried about this,
33:28but we've got a St John's ambulance in standby.
33:31Are you ready? Yeah.
33:33You get this.
33:34That's not for me.
33:35That is for you.
33:36Are you joking me?
33:37Yes, every finalist gets one of these,
33:39so you can say Series 87, 2023.
33:42I mean, if you win it, you get a much better trophy.
33:45But the other seven of you get these.
33:47Oh, that's brilliant.
33:48So you can take that with you.
33:49Thank you very, very much.
33:50Excellent stuff.
33:51Wow.
33:52And, Peter, that's it now.
33:53We need a Rocky-style montage between now
