Countdown | Tuesday 5th July 2016 | Episode 6391
Transcript
00:30Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:33I think it was Paul McCartney who sang so beautifully Love Is Blind,
00:37and that may well be true, according to new research that's just been released,
00:40looking at children lying to their parents.
00:43Very interesting research document, this, Rachel.
00:46It says, according... It says parents were only able to spot a lie
00:49told by their child one times in ten.
00:53They prefer to believe that they're telling the truth,
00:55whereas strangers could pick up on the lies more than 40% of the time
01:00when told by that same child.
01:01Right. Interesting, yeah.
01:03The same parents could detect the lying of other people's children,
01:06which is sort of the same thing, really, with a much higher accuracy,
01:10showing that they have a bias towards believing their own offspring.
01:14The suggestion by the test is being that they don't want to disrupt
01:17a trusting relationship between parent and child.
01:20So any child that's watching this can use that to their advantage now?
01:23Absolutely. You can get away with much more than you think.
01:26Remember that, kids. You lie as much as you like, they'll never pick it up.
01:30Do I consider myself good at detecting a lie?
01:32I think there's nothing worse than being suspicious all the time.
01:36So I tend to believe whatever people tell me,
01:38which makes me, I suppose, that I'm often accused.
01:40I've been really quite naive, but I think that's a more healthy way of being.
01:44I'm the same. I'm quite oblivious to all that kind of thing.
01:46Have you listened to the podcast Serial?
01:48No. I've heard of that.
01:49It's about a guy who's been accused of murder and he's in prison for it,
01:52and he categorically says he didn't do it,
01:54and then all the other people in the story categorically say he does.
01:57So someone's lying because it all contradicts itself.
02:00And whenever you hear one, you think they're telling the truth,
02:02then you hear the next one. It's just... It's impossible.
02:04It is. It's interesting, isn't it?
02:06Because when I'm... During my days, I suppose,
02:09reminding myself of my days on The Apprentice, of course,
02:12pretty much everybody's lying all the time.
02:15It was my job, because I was there, to be able to correct them.
02:19And how much of that could you tell?
02:21Oh, fairly... Yeah, because I was on the spot, so I could say,
02:23but it wasn't like that, Harry, was it?
02:26There we go.
02:27Now, we've got Rachel Withers, Andrew, of course we have.
02:30Fenton going for his seventh win in a row.
02:33So we're looking for a possible OctoChamp by the end of the week.
02:36Well done, Andrew. But first of all, you've got to...
02:38You've got to hurdle Ken Irvin,
02:40a retired computer systems engineer from Stanton in Staffordshire,
02:45who's a Cornet player in the Ashbourne Town Band.
02:48Tell us about this Cornet. I don't think I've ever seen a Cornet, or held one.
02:52It's very similar, and it's often confused with a trumpet.
02:57To me, it's just slightly smaller, slightly shorter.
03:01But to my ears, it's a slightly more mellow sound.
03:05Isn't there a rank in the army called a Cornet?
03:08I don't know. I have heard of. Yeah.
03:11How interesting. Well, let's have a big round of applause
03:14for Ken and Andrew Fenton.
03:16APPLAUSE

08:26Barry put a lid on his rather lascivious behaviour.
08:30MUSIC
08:37APPLAUSE
08:45Welcome back.
08:46I left you with the clue, Barry put a lid on his rather lascivious behaviour.
08:49And the answer is ribaldry.
08:51Ribaldry.
08:52Now, where does ribaldry come from, or ribald tale?
08:56Well, it originally came from Germanic, so very, very old,
09:01went via French, et cetera,
09:03and its first meaning was somebody who indulged in licentious pleasures
09:08and a prostitute.
09:10That was a sort of synonym for a prostitute as well.
09:13It's lost that sense, obviously,
09:15but now it's all about bawdy humour, isn't it?
09:17Yeah, exactly.
09:19All right, thank you, Susie.

12:19Always a joy, isn't it, a nine?
12:21Fantastic.
12:22And your nine, Alison?
12:24Crustiest.
12:27Very similar to that, Peter Andrews.
12:30Would you believe?
12:32Anything else, Susie?
12:33No, that was ours.
12:35We thought it was an eight for a minute, didn't we?
12:37So we thought we'd been trumped, but actually, no, we did have that for nine.
12:39Well done.
12:40So, Andrew on 43, Ken on 19.
12:42And it's your numbers game, Ken.
12:44Three from the top and three from the bottom, please, Rachel.
12:47Thank you, Ken.
12:48Three large, three little.

12:52three, ten, seven,

12:59And the target, 449.

13:37Seven minus three is four.
13:39Times 100.
13:41Times 100, 400.
13:43And at the 50 for one away.
13:45Andrew, same way.
13:47Are we happy there?
13:49Yep.
13:52All right. But 449?
13:54Leave it with me.
13:56I'll leave you with that one.
13:58Looks tricky.
13:5950 plays 26 as we turn now to Alison.
14:03And, Alison, one of your best love roles was as Pamela,
14:07of course, in Gavin in Stacey.
14:09Did you know it was going to be such a massive hit?
14:12Well, no, but I think all actors would say the same thing.
14:19When you get sent a script, when you read it,
14:23you kind of know straight away, you know,
14:26there's something that happens.
14:28And whether it's a part you want to play.
14:31And I was sent, there was only one episode written,
14:35and Ruth and James sent it to me.
14:38I started to read it and up came the character of Pamela,
14:42or Pamela as she became known.
14:46And I read this first scene and I knew it was right.
14:51As soon as I read that first scene,
14:53it said, Pamela's lying on the couch, it's late afternoon,
14:58and she's got two cucumbers on her eyes.
15:01And her son Gavin, a little prince, comes in and he says,
15:04all right, Mum?
15:06And she says, no, I'm not, actually.
15:08And he says, what's the matter?
15:11And she says, I'm really upset.
15:13I've just been watching Pet Watch and I've seen this little badger
15:17and he was crying, she was crying because her little cubs had died.
15:21And Gavin says, Mum, badgers don't cry.
15:25And she says, Gavin, I know what I saw.
15:29And as soon as I read that scene, I just knew.
15:33And then I carried on reading and I think it was loved by families.
15:37Families could watch, a ten-year-old could watch
15:40and a granny could watch as well and everybody would enjoy it.
15:43So it was a terrific time for me and terribly, terribly sad when it finished.
15:49It really did bring tears to my eyes when we were filming it.
15:53Could it ever come back or is it all now split,
15:55everybody's gone in different directions?
15:57I don't think so.
15:58I think we've got to say it was great and put it to bed.
16:02It had its time.
16:03Yes, exactly.
16:04Well, it was fantastic.
16:05Lovely.
16:06Thank you, Alison.
16:08APPLAUSE
16:11And now, Rachel, what have you been up to?
16:14Yes, I found this one.
16:15If you say 75 minus 10 is 65,
16:19multiplied by 7 is 455
16:22and then 100 divided by 50 is 2
16:25times 3 is 6
16:27and taken away, 449.
16:29Well done. Well done, Rachel. Thank you.
16:31449.
16:33That's the way.
16:35So, Andrew on 50, Ken on 26.
16:38We turn to Andrew for a letters game.

17:58I'm afraid, yeah.
17:59Throat's absolutely fine.
18:01And what have we got in the corner, Alison?
18:03Turbot.
18:05Turbot? Very good. What else?
18:07An author is another six, Nick.

19:35I think that's a seven, doleful.
19:37Ah.
19:39So we sort of got the numbers wrong, sadly.
19:43What can we have, Susie, Alison?
19:46Well, we've got dollies and we've got follies.
19:50Anything else?
19:51No, I like doleful.
19:53On its own, that would have been fine for seven,
19:55but, no, that was our best.

24:53Of a ship having no mast.
24:55There has been since the mid-1600s.
24:58Very good.
24:59APPLAUSE
25:02Does it mean that it's lost a mast in a storm?
25:06Or is that demasted or dismasted?
25:08It says as a result of its removal or destruction, so either.
25:11Yeah, OK.
25:12Jolly good.
25:13Well, we'll leave it there.
25:14Enough pain.
25:1587 to 40.
25:16And it's Susie.
25:18Oh, we're back with you, Susie.
25:20Oh, happy hour.
25:22For your origins of words.
25:24Well, we're actually back with lovely emails from our lovely viewers.
25:28This one comes from John Harvey,
25:30although quite a few people have asked me this one.
25:32It's the origin of a wild goose chase.
25:34And a couple of people have also asked
25:36whether it's linked to a red herring.
25:38What's that got to do with it?
25:40So I'll cover both of them quite quickly, if I may.
25:43First of all, wild goose chase.
25:45Very old.
25:46Appears to be one of the many phrases coined by Shakespeare.
25:51He introduced so many words into the language.
25:54No surprise, everybody knows this.
25:56Whether or not he actually coined them is a matter of debate.
25:59But certainly he propelled them into currency.
26:02And the first citation, the first record of a wild goose chase
26:06is from Romeo and Juliet, 1592.
26:09And in his day, a wild goose chase was a very specific thing.
26:12It was a kind of game.
26:14You had to lead horse gallop,
26:16in which the second and all succeeding horses followed the first.
26:20And they followed the leader with great precision
26:23and also at specific intervals.
26:25That was very much part of the game.
26:27And the position of the horses
26:29resembled the flight formation of geese.
26:33And because of that, wild geese chase, or wild goose chase,
26:37as it became, was given to the game.
26:40That meaning, of course, became lost.
26:42The game died out.
26:43And the phrase came to mean simply a fruitless undertaking
26:47because more often than not,
26:49because of these intervals between the leader and the succeeding horses,
26:52they could never quite catch them up.
26:54So it was always a little bit of a vain undertaking.
26:57On to a red herring.
26:59This was...
27:01In the 1600s, it was a reference, really,
27:04to the use of a red herring to train horses, actually,
27:08in a pack of hounds when they were going out fox hunting,
27:12which none of us agree with today.
27:14But the hounds would follow the very, very strong scent
27:18of a preserved fish,
27:20and the horses would be trained to follow these hounds amid all the chaos.
27:23It was really meant to train the horses rather than the hounds,
27:26which is what's often supposed.
27:28The reason we use it to mean a diversionary tactic today
27:31was because William Cobbett, the politician,
27:33used it in the sense of dragging a red herring across someone's path
27:37to put them off the scent.
27:39Very good.
