00:04APPLAUSE
00:31Hello and welcome to Countdown.
00:33On this day in 1901, Picasso, aged 19,
00:37had his first exhibition in Paris.
00:39He raised a few eyebrows, he lowered a few lips
00:43and he sent quite a few noses goo-wiff.
00:46He did. That's a good way to describe his work.
00:48Yeah. I first saw a Picasso exhibition when I was 11 at the Tate.
00:54You weren't even thought of then, were you?
00:56No. I've been to the Picasso exhibition or the museum in Barcelona.
01:00It's quite interesting. You go around and you see the different phases.
01:03But I did end up going to the Van Gogh Interactive Art Exhibition.
01:07Did you ever see it? Yes, yes. Wonderful.
01:09It's definitely the future for seeing art
01:12because they put together the different phases
01:14and, obviously, with his mental illness,
01:16the different stages that his brain was in
01:18and really told a story with music and the pictures and his writings.
01:22If they can do it with Picasso, it would really bring him to life.
01:25Indeed.
01:26Let's meet our contestants.
01:28Darren is back.
01:30You haven't had the sack overnight from Kelly.
01:33I'm aware of that.
01:34And against you is June from Bedford.
01:37Hello, June. Hello, Anne.
01:39June, you've been on Countdown before.
01:41I have. How long ago?
01:4319 years ago, 2003.
01:452003. And you have a photograph.
01:48I do, yes.
01:49And it's an interesting line-up.
01:52Richard Whiteley was still here. Yes.
01:54And guess who else was there?
01:57Yes, I was probably there in the photograph. Yes.
02:00Yeah, she'll enjoy looking at that.
02:02Yeah, because my first appearance was in 92
02:04and I will have just gone full-time, I think,
02:07around the time that you were there
02:09because we used to rotate quite a lot of different people in the corner.
02:12Oh, thank goodness we don't do that anymore.
02:14June, how well did you do?
02:17I lost.
02:18Did you? Yes.
02:20Badly? No.
02:22Reasonably well.
02:23And your opponent, did he go on, she go on?
02:27He went on to be an OctoChamp and won the series,
02:31which I think was series 50, if my memory serves me right.
02:34OK, well, tough to be against someone like that.
02:36Yeah, very tough.
02:38Round of applause for our contestants.
02:44You probably weren't even thought of for television.
02:47Oh, 2003, Phil Spencer, you were already on the box, weren't you?
02:50I'm afraid so, yes.
02:52Location began in 2001, yes.
02:55Right.
02:56And I hope you're going to tell us today
02:58about whether we should be selling our houses or buying our houses.
03:01I'll do my best.
03:03Yeah. How good is your best?
03:05It's going to have to do, Ann.
03:07The best might not be good enough.

11:27Any more?
11:29Red lines.
11:31Yes.
11:32If that counts.
11:33It does, yeah.
11:34When you drive your car above its maximum rev per minute.
11:37It's a real blokey answer, that, isn't it?
11:41I wasn't sure whether it was red line or red lines.
11:44Red lines, yeah, cos there is a verb added now.
11:47But, yeah, see if you red line your car.
11:49Hold on. OK.
11:50Yeah.
11:51June, I understand you keep your age a secret.
11:53Yes.
11:54I'm only 29.
11:55OK.
11:56And a bit.
11:57And do you have children?
11:58I do, yes.
11:59Yeah, what have you got?
12:00Three boys.
12:01And what age are they?
12:02They are 25, 30 and 33.
12:06So, we can now come to a ballpark figure about you.
12:09Yeah.

12:12Can I have two from the top and any other four, please?
12:15Thank you, June.

13:0775 plus 25.
13:09100.
13:10Times seven.
13:11700.
13:12Nine times two is 18.
13:14Perfect.
13:15Very well done.
13:16Told you those ten points were there.
13:18682.
13:19Well done, June.
13:22And she's only 29.
13:24How old are you, Phil Spencer?
13:2652.
13:27Are you?
13:28That's a big surprise.
13:29I didn't think you were that old.
13:31I'm always fascinated when you're showing people round houses.
13:35Why are they always impressed by the fireplace?
13:39People are always impressed by substantial chests and features.
13:43Such as?
13:45Fireplaces.
13:46Well, I always think, well, you could put a fireplace there.
13:49It can't be the reason you buy the house.
13:52People, you're right, people do gather,
13:54people gather round it and it becomes a feature of the house.
13:57So many houses, actually, we go into nowadays
13:59where the television is the feature.
14:01And I think that's a real shame.
14:03Everyone loves a fireplace, everyone loves sitting round a fire.
14:06It's alive, it gives off heat, it's comforting,
14:09it's a beautiful thing.
14:10Do you think it's tasteless to put a television set
14:14above the fireplace?
14:16I don't like to see it.
14:18Well, you're not coming to my house, then.
14:21People do do it.
14:23My logic is the television at the side of the fireplace,
14:27you're not balancing it on the other side.
14:30Yeah, but if the television's, I mean,
14:32another school of thought is television's above the fireplace,
14:35you're then looking up.
14:36It depends on the size of your fireplace, actually.
14:39And your television.
14:40Tell me, should we be buying houses at this time of the year
14:44or selling them?
14:47Well, most sellers are also buyers,
14:49which makes it a difficult one to answer.
14:52It would be fun to sell in this market,
14:54it's not a lot of fun trying to buy.
14:56The balance between supply of houses to the market
15:01and demand for them is massively out of kilter at the moment
15:05and that is really making it very competitive.
15:08Is that post-lockdown?
15:10It's difficult to fathom quite why,
15:12because so many people moved during lockdown,
15:15stamp duty holidays.
15:16I think an awful lot of people, I thought,
15:19moved their moving plans forward to take advantage
15:22of the stamp duty holidays.
15:24But actually, there's still huge competition in the market.
15:27It's being driven by lack of supply.
15:29So many people, they're being told by their estate agent,
15:33yes, we'll sell your house by tomorrow lunchtime.
15:36So they think, well, that makes it pretty easy.
15:39But I don't see anything else on the market
15:41that I might wish to move to,
15:42so I'm not going to put mine up for sale
15:44until I see something that I would wish to move to.
15:47So we've reached a kind of stalemate.
15:49Would you recommend that somebody sells their house
15:52and therefore they're in a position to move fast
15:56if they find a house?
15:57Absolutely, I would.
15:59Because you then come back to the market,
16:01hopefully with some cash and some equity,
16:04you're living in rented, you can move quickly.
16:07Yes, if you can do that, if you can sort of face the two moves,
16:11as in selling, moving into rented and then buying again,
16:14good thing to do.
16:15What's the biggest mistake people make in buying a house?
16:20What don't they look at?
16:22It's probably lack of preparation and kind of forethought
16:26almost in advance of the whole thing.
16:28It really does take a lot of focus, a lot of dedication,
16:32a lot of time to do the job properly.
16:34For example?
16:35Well, it's just working out what you want, where you want it,
16:38what that's likely to cost, who's likely to be selling it,
16:42and the more focused that you can make your search brief,
16:45the happier and the faster your search should be.
16:48You need a lot of relationships with estate agents,
16:51particularly in this market.
16:52Most people out there buying are relying on alerts
16:56and the internet alerts, but actually,
16:59if you can get inside the offices, meet people,
17:02develop a relationship,
17:03then you should be the first person that they'll think of.
17:06And what huge mistakes have you made in buying a house?
17:09Actually, I think when buying a house,
17:12I haven't made too many mistakes,
17:14but there are certain things that I wish I would have bought
17:17at the time and didn't, and I'm looking back and going,
17:20I probably should have done that.
17:22But no, actual family moves that we've done,
17:24I'd like to think we got it right,
17:26but they were all planned almost years in advance,
17:29and I particularly, when moving around in London,
17:31I very much focused on the street
17:34and actually narrowed it down to the street
17:37and the side of the street,
17:39which I knew would offer the space that I needed
17:43for the budget that I had,
17:45and then it was just a case of sort of sitting and waiting.
17:48Well, what a clever class you are, Phil Spencer.
17:51APPLAUSE

19:16June, I've been so busy trying to work out how old you are,
19:19I haven't asked you what you do.
19:21I work part-time at a pharmaceutical logistics company
19:25and I process orders.
19:28OK. So you order the drugs?
19:31Yes. Oh, do you? And how long have you been doing that?
19:34Almost 12 years. Have you?
19:36And did you have a job before that?
19:38I did, yes. What did you do before?
19:40Before that I worked for Box Clever,
19:42which was previously Granada,
19:44and I'd worked in various departments in that.
19:47Right. Since you were at school?
19:49No. After school I went to college
19:51and then after college I went to a solicitor's.
19:54Right. And after the solicitor's I went to British Telecom.
19:57Right. Well, I'm still trying to work out how old you are.

21:16but it's got a capital T anyway, I'm afraid.
21:19So, yeah, not there. Sorry, Darren.
21:21In the corner?
21:23Extort with six.
21:26And I wasn't sure about the spelling of meteor.

24:11CLOCK TICKS
24:31June? Seven.
24:33Good. Darren? Seven.
24:35June? Launder.
24:37Same word.
24:39Launder over here. What about over there?
24:41How about unlearned?
24:43Yes, you can unlearn a bad habit, thankfully.
24:46Yes, that gives you another seven.
24:48Thank you. Darren, your letters.
24:50Consonant, please, Rachel.
24:52Thank you, Darren. P.
24:54And another.
24:56T. And another one.
24:58L. And another one.
25:01D. And a vowel, please.
25:03O. And another one.
25:05O. A consonant.
25:07N.
25:09A vowel.
25:11I.
25:13And a consonant, please.
25:15And the last one, another D.
25:17Start the clock.
25:37CLOCK TICKS
25:49Darren? Just six.
25:51June? Six.
25:53Darren? Lotion.
25:55June? Potion.
25:57Can we go beyond six?
25:59Can't beat the sixth. There was an option.
26:01Ah, OK. But it doesn't beat six.
26:03Yeah. And over to Susie.
26:05Thanks, Dan. And we'll over, really, to Jackie Medix,
26:08who emailed to ask how the expression
26:10clean as a new pin originated.
26:13And it's a little bit curious when you think about it.
26:16What is so clean about a pin?
26:18I had fun with this one,
26:20because I looked in a couple of historical dictionaries,
26:22and you will find so many different comparisons or similes
26:25for clean as.
26:27So clean as print, clean as wheat,
26:29clean as a leek, clean as carrot,
26:31clean as a mackerel,
26:33clean as a new penny, clean as a new pin,
26:35clean as a razor, clean as a pick,
26:37clean as a whistle, which I think is familiar to some of us,
26:40and some really odd ones, such as clean as a baby's leg,
26:43which seemed very strange for me.
26:46And there is one, just a record of a Russian story
26:51in which an old woman in translation is saying,
26:53I was sitting there clean as a doctor.
26:55So, very strange.
26:57The one that, before I get to clean as a pin,
26:59that really struck me, though,
27:01is quite a common one in Yorkshire,
27:03and that is as clean as a clock.
27:05But it's not the clock that you might think.
27:07It's actually the really shiny black beetles,
27:10which are often called clocks in Northern dialect.
27:13And you will find those, apparently,
27:15under every piece of cow dung
27:17that's been sitting there for a few hours.
27:19So clean as a clock is quite common, apparently, up north.
27:24I hate to use that vast stereotype,
27:26but, anyway, in Northern dialect, you'll find clean as a clock.
27:28Why clean as a pin, though?
27:30Well, pins have been used for a long time in English
27:33to express cleanliness or smartness or tidiness.
27:37So you can be as neat as a new pin as well,
27:39which I think you might recognise, too.
27:41And there's a great quote,
27:43it's been going back for quite a while, actually, from 1769,
27:46where it says,
27:48Jenny is every day as fine as a new pin and as brisk as a bee.
27:51So two similes that...
27:53Well, I'm not sure brisk as a bee has stood the test of time,
27:56but certainly as fine as a new pin or clean as has.
28:00And the other one, clean as a whistle,
28:02that actually began as clear as a whistle,
28:04which makes much more sense.
28:06But perhaps because of all those other similes involving clean,
28:09it kind of shifted over time.
28:11But, yeah, there you go.
28:13Clean as a pin or clean as a baby's leg.
28:15Thank you, Suzy. You're welcome.
28:20Scores 69-46.
28:22June, your letters.

29:25June. Six.
29:27Darren. Six.
29:29June. Motive.
29:31I've got the same, yeah.
29:33OK. Anything different over there?
29:35I think we can do a bit better than that, don't you?
29:37Yes, we can stretch it a little bit.
29:39There was motivate. Very good.
29:41You got very close to. Yes.
29:43That's really good, Aidan.
29:45One more for you is tomotine,
29:47which is a compound found in tomatoes.
29:49Thank you. You're welcome.
29:51Darren, your letters.

30:51Darren. Eight.
30:53Good. June?
30:55I'm going to try nine. Are you?
30:57What's your eight, Darren? Reposing.
30:59June?
31:01I put P on the front, so preposing.
31:03That's absolutely brilliant. Well done.
31:05APPLAUSE
31:09It's superb.
31:11It means, particularly in linguistics,
31:13if you prepose one word,
31:15you put it in front of another.
31:17It's where we get the idea of prepositions as well.
31:19Really good. Yeah.
31:21You are certainly back in the game.
31:23That's interesting, isn't it?
31:2575 to 70,
31:27which has absolutely nothing to do with your age,
31:29which we're still trying to guess.
31:31Penultimate round.
31:33June?
31:35Can I have two large and then the other four, please?
31:37Thank you, June.
31:39Two from the top and four little.
31:41One little P has made a vast difference.
31:43Let's see if we end up with a crucial conundrum.
31:45They are 10, 1,
31:478, 5, and the big two,
31:4925 and 75 for the final target of the week.
31:52371.
31:54371.
32:19MUSIC PLAYS
32:25June?
32:27372.
32:29Darren?
32:31I've got 37...
32:33No, I haven't got anything, sorry.
32:35June?
32:37So, 5 x 75 is 375.
32:415 x 75, 375.
32:43Minus the 1.
32:45Minus the 1, 374.
32:47372.
32:49Yep.
32:51That should be 372, I hope.
32:53And not only have you stayed in the competition,
32:55you've gone into the lead. Well done, June.
32:57Rachel?
32:59Yes, lots of dead ends for this one,
33:01but I did find one way.
33:03With 75,
33:05minus 25 is 50.
33:078 plus 5 is 13.
33:09Take that away for 37.
33:11Times it by 10 for 370.
33:14And you have a remaining 1 for 371.
33:18APPLAUSE
33:2075-77.
33:22Anyone's game.
33:24Fingers on buzzers.
33:28Please reveal today's crucial countdown conundrum.
33:37Darren? Festivity.
33:39Let's have a look.
33:41APPLAUSE
33:44He was very quick off the draw.
33:46I know.
33:48I'm so sorry, June,
33:50because you caught up in an amazing fashion
33:52and you were leading.
33:54Thank you for being here.
33:56Thank you for having me.
33:58I'm sorry I couldn't crack your edge.
34:00Darren, well done. Thank you.
34:02We'll see you again on Monday.
34:04Look forward to it. OK.
34:06Susie, thank you. Thank you.
34:08Phil, can you come back on Monday? I should be here.
34:10Good.
34:12That was such a cruel game, Countdown.
34:14On any other day, I think June would have gone away with a teapot.
34:17But she's had very bad luck on two separate occasions
34:19with a very good competitor on the other side.
34:21So, unlucky, June.
34:23I'm very sorry you won't get your teapot today.
34:25Come back in another few years, get another one.
34:27Thank you for watching. See you again on Monday. Bye.
