00:31Good afternoon, and welcome back to the Countdown studio
00:35on Friday 3rd February.
00:37Now, you may well think the Countdown team,
00:40just those people here in the studio,
00:42and our cameramen and sound people and the people up in the gallery,
00:46but no, we have a cast of thousands here.
00:50Many of them are called researchers,
00:52and their job is to produce the sort of facts that we deliver to you at home.
00:57And today, they've told me to say the following.
01:00Scientists have discovered that jiggling the leg for just half an hour
01:06whilst you're slumped on the sofa reduces the risk of heart disease.
01:10You'll notice they said the leg.
01:13Some of us have got two legs,
01:15and so it is that I'm confused as to which leg I should be jiggling.
01:19So, everybody watching, get fidgeting, pick a leg, jiggle it,
01:24and you'll almost certainly reduce the risk of heart disease,
01:28but stub out the cigarette first and no more pork scratchings.
01:32So, anyway, here's somebody who makes the nation go weak at the knees,
01:37wobbly at the knees, it's you, Rachel.
01:39Do you believe all this jiggling of legs?
01:41Well, you've got to believe scientists, haven't you?
01:43And our producer, I've never seen him sit still for more than about one second.
01:46He hasn't got heart disease.
01:48He is a jiggler, that one.
01:50He's got another problem, though, he was telling me,
01:52but we won't go into that today.
01:54Yeah, it might be a bit painful for him to jiggle his legs.
01:56Poor old chap. Poor old chap.
01:58Now, then, we've got our new champ, Jocelyn,
02:04who spent 33 years in Michigan, and she's a maths supremo.
02:10Welcome back. You did very well yesterday.
02:13Thank you.
02:14I enjoyed it.
02:15And I enjoy your accent, because whilst you're clearly English,
02:19you've just got that lovely little sort of tinge of an American accent about you.
02:23Thank you.
02:25And we've also got our contender here, Chris Reid, a consultant engineer,
02:29from Timperley, not far away.
02:31A few miles away near Altrincham.
02:33Welcome.
02:34Thank you.
02:35Welcome.
02:36You spent two years in Zambia.
02:37Everybody around here has suddenly sort of come home.
02:3933 years later, you pitch up.
02:41And, Chris?
02:42Yeah?
02:43Two years in Zambia, what were you doing?
02:45I was working in the mining industry, in the copper mines, in the late 1970s.
02:50Exciting times?
02:51Interesting, yes.
02:53I was doing a dull civil service job and decided to pack up a secure job
02:59and go and do a two-year spell out there.
03:02The best day's work I ever did.
03:03Good for you.
03:04And now you're back.
03:05You're doing dull work back?
03:06Oh, no.
03:07No, it's a bit more interesting now.
03:08Oh, good.
03:09Right.
03:10Now, then.
03:11Doctor.
03:12Hello there.
03:13Doctor, your last day with us.
03:14It is.
03:15It is.
03:16It'll be a very sad day, but I've really enjoyed it.
03:17Particularly nursing you back to full health.
03:19Yeah, I know, but I'm really going to miss you.
03:21We'll talk to you at great length in a minute.
03:23Susie, as ever, great to see you.
03:26Thank you.
03:27And, Jocelyn, you put up a sterling performance yesterday.
03:31I want to see another one today.
03:33A good, close-fought thing.
03:34Nothing better for a countdown audience to watch.
03:36It's a letters game.
03:38Take it away.
03:40I'd like to start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
03:42Thank you, Jocelyn.
03:43I'll start today with S.
03:44And another.
03:47N.
03:48And again.
03:50Y.
03:51And one more.
03:54P.
03:55And then a vowel.
03:56On for Dame.
03:58A.
03:59And another one.
04:01I.
04:03And again, please.
04:05E.
04:06A consonant.
04:09B.
04:12And another vowel, I think.
04:15And the last one, A.
04:17It's the first clock of the day.
04:42So, Jocelyn.
04:52Well, I only have five.
04:54Five.
04:56Chris?
04:57Five.
04:58Oh, all right.
04:59Jocelyn?
05:00Beans.
05:01Beans.
05:02Beans means something or other.
05:04And Chris?
05:05Pansy.
05:06Pansy.
05:07And the corner?
05:08Susie's got peons.
05:09Peons.
05:10Peons of praise.
05:11Susie.
05:12Peons of praise.
05:13That's a six.
05:14That stretches out to a six.
05:15You wouldn't think it was a six, but it is.
05:16Doesn't look like a six, does it?
05:17It's funny spelling.
05:18P-A-E-A-N-S.
05:19Absolutely as you say.
05:20Songs of praise.
05:21Well done, Susie.
05:22Good.
05:23So, peons of praise indeed.
05:26And it's five all.
05:28And Chris from Timperley, the consultant engineer, take it away.
05:33Hello, Rachel.
05:34Hi, Chris.
05:35Can I have a consonant, please?
05:36Thank you.
05:37Start with S.
05:38And a consonant.
05:41T.
05:42A consonant.
05:44Z.
05:46A vowel, please.
05:48E.
05:49A vowel.
05:51I.
05:53Another vowel.
05:55A.
05:57A consonant.
05:59G.
06:01A consonant.
06:03L.
06:06And a final consonant, please.
06:08And a final S.
06:10Off we go.
06:39So, Chris?
06:42A six.
06:44A six.
06:45And Jocelyn?
06:46Seven.
06:47A seven.
06:48Chris?
06:49Glazes.
06:50Right.
06:51And Jocelyn?
06:52Laziest.
06:53Laziest.
06:54Yes, very nice.
06:55Phil, Susie?
06:56I've got a medical term, ligates.
06:58When you tie knots, which I'm not terribly good at,
07:00which is why I'm a GP, not a heart surgeon.
07:02But ligates, you ligate sutures, you tie things together.
07:05It's called ligation.
07:06Ligates is a word.
07:08So, 12 to Jocelyn, five to Chris.
07:11And, Jocelyn, your turn to kick off.
07:13A consonant, please.
07:15Thank you, Jocelyn.
07:16N.
07:17And another?
07:19R.
07:21And again?
07:23S.
07:24And another?
07:26C.
07:28And a vowel?
07:29E.
07:31And another vowel?
07:32O.
07:33And again?
07:36I.
07:38And another vowel?
07:41O.
07:43And a consonant?
07:44And, lastly, N.
07:46And here we go.
08:06MUSIC
08:20So, Jocelyn?
08:22Only six.
08:24A six. And Chris?
08:25Six.
08:26Six. Jocelyn?
08:27Sooner.
08:28Right. And Chris?
08:30Croons.
08:31Croons.
08:32Something I won't be doing for a while.
08:34A seven in the corner.
08:36Yeah, a lovely word. A seven-letter word.
08:38People who enjoy themselves at lunchtime,
08:40they pleasure themselves often together,
08:42are known as nooners.
08:44Nooners.
08:45Really?
08:46Often they grow pampas grass outside their front door.
08:48You see the pampas grass, you knock in for some nooners.
08:50I'm going to be very careful about this.
08:52I don't like the sound of it at all.
08:53But there we are.
08:5418 to Jocelyn, to 11.
08:56And, Chris, it's a letters game.
08:58Take it away, Chris.

09:26I.
09:28A consonant.
09:30L.
09:33And another vowel, please.
09:35And to finish, O.
09:37It's obviously a Greek football team.
09:39Off we go.
10:03MUSIC PLAYS
10:11Right.
10:12Chris?
10:13Just five.
10:14Five.
10:15And Jocelyn?
10:16Six.
10:17Six.
10:18Chris?
10:19Metal.
10:20Metal.
10:21Jocelyn?
10:22Limpet.
10:23Limpet.
10:24Yes.
10:25Are you happy over there?
10:26Favourite words.
10:27Yes, I love limpet.
10:28No, Susie can trump limpet.
10:29She's got a seven I've never heard of.
10:31Oh.
10:32And hoplite.
10:33Hoplite once was a heavily armed foot soldier in ancient Greece.
10:37H-O-P-L-I-T-E.
10:39Hoplite.
10:40Hoplite.
10:41I'm doused.
10:42Right.
10:43With the score standing at 24 to the champ,
10:46to 11, Chris, Jocelyn, champ, maths tutor.
10:50Off you go.
10:51It's a numbers game.
10:53At the risk of being boring, I'd like one from the top and five from the bottom, please.
10:56Thank you, Jocelyn.
10:58One large and five small.
10:59Nothing boring about the numbers game.
11:01Don't worry.
11:02For this round, the five small are 6, 7, 3, 4 and 5.
11:08And the large one, 75.
11:10And your target, 522.
11:135-2-2.
11:32MUSIC
11:47So, Jocelyn.
11:485-2-2.
11:495-2-2.
11:50And Chris.
11:515-2-2.
11:52Jocelyn.
11:5375 times 7.
11:5575 times 7.
11:565-2-5.
11:57Minus 3.
11:58Minus 3.
11:59Yes.
12:00Very good.
12:01Chris?
12:02I'll do it the same way.
12:07And now, I sit back and relax for my lecture from Dr Phil.
12:12Your lecture. I'm going to start with a health tip of the day.
12:14Never trust a doctor who tries to take your temperature with his finger.
12:19That's my first top tip. It's worth knowing that.
12:21People trust doctors implicitly.
12:22They will trust Dr Susie, particularly Jocelyn, who loves Susie.
12:25So we're going to hope that Susie passes her final assessment today.
12:29Then she gets Dr Phil's instant medical degree.
12:31Available online at drphilhammond.com.
12:34The final thing you have to pass, of course, is resuscitation.
12:37You're expected to know what to do, Susie, if somebody collapses in front of you.
12:40So I'd like to welcome back to the stage Buddy.
12:42Give Buddy a big round of applause.
12:43Round of applause for Buddy.
12:46Buddy, who's been on here before.
12:48People collapse.
12:49Now, Vinnie Jones has rather taken this to an art form.
12:51He's doing a campaign for the British Heart Foundation at the moment.
12:53Have you seen it?
12:54No.
12:55OK, well, let's say Buddy collapsed in front of you.
12:57What are you going to do?
12:59Get him out of the bag.
13:00Excellent.
13:01Let's get him out of the bag first.
13:02Just hold.
13:03Get the bag out of the way.
13:04OK.
13:05So Vinnie Jones is doing this.
13:06Now, this is slightly short, Buddy.
13:07Somebody collapses in front of you.
13:08Who are you going to call?
13:10Not Ghostbusters.
13:11Who are you going to call?
13:12He's unconscious.
13:13He won't do it.
13:14You're trying to rouse him.
13:15You're rubbing him.
13:16You're pinching him.
13:17You're trying to feel his pulse.
13:18You're going to call 999.
13:19Do not phone NHS Direct.
13:20Do not phone 111.
13:21Do not phone Auntie Madge.
13:22Do not phone the GP.
13:23999.
13:24OK?
13:25Then what are you going to do?
13:26Then I remember the teddy bear's picnic.
13:29Is that right?
13:30The teddy bear's picnic?
13:31It's a tune to which you, when you're doing the...
13:32OK, you're going to stand up.
13:33He's on a hard surface.
13:34You're going to interlock your fist like that.
13:36You're going to go in the middle of the chest.
13:37You're going to go down about four or five centimetres.
13:39Now, you've got to do 120 beats a minute.
13:42That's two per second, really fast, like this,
13:44with the power coming through your shoulders, OK?
13:46And I want you to sing Nelly the Elephant at top speed
13:48while you're doing it.
13:49Nelly the Elephant, OK.
13:50Nelly the Elephant.
13:51Come on, really hard, through the shoulders,
13:52down four centimetres.
13:53Go.
13:54Nelly the Elephant.
13:55Sing it, sing it.
13:57Off she goes, with a trumpet in her ear.
13:59It's going to be eight minutes before the ambulance gets here,
14:01so just carry on for a while.
14:03So it's really got to get out.
14:04So no breathing at this point?
14:05You've got to keep doing it.
14:06Now, if you think you know how to do the breathing,
14:07what they've found recently is that people don't like
14:09going near the mouth when somebody's had a cardiac arrest.
14:11They find it difficult.
14:12But if you know what to do, you tilt the head forward,
14:14you open the airway, you pinch the nose,
14:16and you do two rescue breaths,
14:17getting your mouth right over there,
14:18make sure the lungs come up.
14:19So it's 30 compressions to two breaths.
14:21OK.
14:22But if you don't know what you're doing,
14:23you keep doing the chest compressions
14:24until the ambulance arrives.
14:25OK?
14:26Without the mouth-to-mouth?
14:27If you don't want to do the mouth,
14:28you can do the mouth if you want to,
14:29but a lot of people don't do it.
14:30It's far better just to carry on doing.
14:31And it's hard and fast.
14:32Nelly the Elephant.
14:33Back to Trump.
14:34And say goodbye to the circus.
14:35Off she went with a trumpet.
14:36Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
14:37Excellent.
14:38A round of applause for Susie.
14:39Excellent.
14:40Thank you.
14:41Thank you very much.
14:42Now, I sign over the letter.
14:43You now are the first recipient
14:45of Dr Phil's instant medical degree.
14:47It'll allow you to practice illegally
14:49in any country in the world.
14:50A big round of applause for Susie Dent.
14:52Dr Susie Dent.
14:53Well done, Susie.
14:54Well done.
14:55That has happened.
14:56He's alive.
14:57Well done.
14:58That's very good.
14:59Excellent bit of work there.
15:00Excellent.
15:01Tea time, teaser time.
15:02After all that medical chat,
15:04Bert's new, and the clue,
15:07Bert's new clothes were scattered
15:09all over the place.
15:23APPLAUSE

15:28Bert's new clothes were scattered
15:30all over the place.
15:32And the answer,

21:52Right. Jocelyn?
21:53Outpaced.
21:54Outpaced. Chris?
21:56Captured.
21:57Captured.
21:58Very nice.
21:59Well done. Very nice.
22:00APPLAUSE
22:02Can you take it further?
22:03A nine from Susie.
22:04Go on, Susie.
22:05Sadly, not. No.
22:07We had outpaced, outraced, captured, but no nine.
22:10No nine.
22:11Two good eights, though. Well done, yeah.
22:13Excellent stuff.
22:14And Susie?
22:15I relax now, and I deliver myself into your hands.
22:19Well, I was going to talk about clothes today, Nick,
22:22and how the idea of getting dressed, or getting undressed,
22:26lies behind many of the words that we use today.
22:29Textile, we know, means cloth.
22:31It comes from a Latin term that meant woven.
22:33So when we talk about texting today, or written text,
22:38we're actually going back to that older word,
22:40which meant quite literally woven words.
22:42And context meant woven together.
22:45And if you divest yourself of something today, you get rid of it.
22:48But originally, you would have taken your clothes off.
22:51You literally would have divested yourself.
22:53And similarly, dismantle originally meant to uncloak somebody,
22:57as well as to take something apart.
22:59To invest, meanwhile, was to put a robe on somebody,
23:02often as a sign of office.
23:04So you will have investiture, for example, and vested interests.
23:07Today's financial term comes from the idea of furnishing someone
23:10or something with power and privilege to invest them with that.
23:14And finally, a travesty once meant disguise,
23:18often in the form of cross-dressing.
23:20And because that was thought to be so wrong and ridiculous in the 17th century,
23:24it led to the idea of something that was a debased imitation of something else.
23:27Usually, we will call it a travesty of justice.
23:30But it all goes back to clothes.
23:32Stormy.
23:36I enjoyed that, Susie. I enjoyed that a lot.
23:38But, Chris, now it's a numbers game.
23:40All to play for, 13 behind. Off you go.
23:43Can I have two large numbers and four little ones, please?
23:46You can, indeed. Thank you, Chris.
23:48Two from the top, four from the bottom lot.
23:50And for this round, the four small are 5, 4, 1,
23:55and another 4, and the two large ones, 75 and 25.
24:01And the target, 638.
24:03638.
24:30So, Chris?
24:32637.
24:34637.
24:36And, Jocelyn?
24:38Only 630.
24:40Right. So, Chris?
24:4275 minus 1, 74.
24:4575 to 1, 74.
24:475 plus 4 is 9.
24:49Yep.
24:5174 times 9 is 666.
24:54It is, indeed.
24:55Minus 25,
24:58641.
25:00Minus 4.
25:01Minus 4. 637.
25:03One away. Well done. The other four.
25:05Well done.
25:06And, Rachel, could you lead us to perfection?
25:09If you say 75 minus 4 is 71.
25:13The other 4 plus 5 is 9.
25:16Times them together for 639 and take the 1.
25:19638.
25:20Excellent.
25:22As ever, perfection.
25:26And now it's time for Tea Time Teaser,
25:29and the teaser is Rich Zoos.
25:32And the clue, when it comes to feeding time,
25:35let them eat sausage.
25:38MUSIC
25:54Welcome back.
25:56And the clue, you'll remember, when it comes to feeding time,
25:58let them eat sausage.
26:00And the answer, chorizos.
26:02So, the champ leads,
26:05and it's over to the champ now.
26:08Letters game.
26:09Hello, Rachel again. I'd like to start with a consonant, please.
26:12Thank you, Jocelyn.

27:23Chris?
27:24Seldom.
27:25Seldom.
27:27And in the corner...
27:29We've got a snakey seven on modules. Modules.
27:32Just qualms, using the Q for six.
27:35Right. So that's six each, with 66 to Jocelyn and 60 to Chris.
27:40Still all to play for, and Chris, it's a letters game, so off you go.
27:45Consonant, please.
27:46Thank you, Chris.

28:51So, Chris?
28:52Six.
28:53A six and Jocelyn?
28:54Six also.
28:55Both. Both at six. And Chris?
28:57Plumes.
28:58Plumes.
28:59Same thing.
29:00Same?
29:02Phil, Susie?
29:04We can build on the feathery theme, and plumose is a word.
29:08Does it have something to do with feathers?
29:10It is, yes. It's a term from biology, and it means having many fine branches
29:15or filaments which give a feathery appearance.
29:17Plumose.
29:18Plumose. That's a pretty rare one.
29:20APPLAUSE
29:22Very good.
29:24So Jocelyn's still in the lead, and Jocelyn?
29:29Off you go.
29:30Consonant, please.

30:01Here we go.
30:27MUSIC
30:34So, Jocelyn?
30:36A seven.
30:37A seven. And Chris?
30:38Six.
30:39A six. And your six would be?
30:41Taxid.
30:42Taxid.
30:43Jocelyn?
30:44Radiate.
30:45Radiate.
30:46Very nice. Excellent.
30:47Pretty straightforward, pretty good stuff.
30:48Very good.
30:49And can you give us an extension to that?
30:52No, we've got Airhead for seven.
30:55I came up after that.
30:56And me.
30:57No.
30:58Airhead's good.
30:59So, Chris, it's the numbers game.
31:01You're standing at 66 to Jocelyn's 79.
31:05It's possible. Go on, take it away.
31:07One large and five small, please.
31:09Thank you, Chris.
31:10One large and five small ones.
31:12For the last time today.

31:20And the large one, 50.
31:22And the last target to reach, 118.
31:25118.
31:53So, let's hear it, Chris.
31:55118.
31:56118.
31:57And Jocelyn?
31:58118.
31:59All right. Chris?
32:0050 plus 4 plus 5 is 9.
32:0459.
32:063 minus 1 is 2.
32:08Yep.
32:09Multiply them.
32:10Nice and straightforward.
32:11So 118.
32:12And Jocelyn?
32:13I did 50 times 3.
32:1550 times 3, 150.
32:17Minus 8 times 4.
32:19Yep, well done. Again, 118.
32:22Well done. So, 10 each.
32:2489 and 76.
32:26And we go into the final round, round 15.
32:29It's the conundrum round.
32:31So, fingers on buzzers, please.
32:33Reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:41Jocelyn?
32:42Producing.
32:44Producing. Let's have a look.
32:46Well done.
32:52APPLAUSE
32:54One shy of 100 to Chris's 76.
32:56A good score, Chris, a good score,
32:58but we're going to have to say cheerio to you.
33:00But you're not leaving empty-handed
33:02because you've got the wonderful goodie bag.
33:04And we'll see you on Monday, Jocelyn.
33:06We look forward to that.
33:08We won't see you, Dr Phil, on Monday, sadly.
33:11No, I'll be back in the surgery on Monday,
33:13but also on tour.
33:15I think I'm in Leicester on Valentine's Day.
33:17But if you go to drphilhammond.com, you'll get my tour dates.
33:20If you want me to come to a theatre near you,
33:22get the theatre to contact us, and I'll come along,
33:24give you a consultation.
33:25And, Phil, what about all this jigging your leg around
33:28to defer, put off or stop heart disease?
33:32Is there anything in that?
33:33I think there might be.
33:34I mean, we say jig your leg about in hospital
33:36to stop yourself getting a clot in your leg,
33:38and when you're on an aeroplane, you jig your leg about.
33:40It also lets people in hospital know you're still alive,
33:42because sometimes we're a bit quick to judge.
33:44Every year, about three people have discovered snoring in the mortuary
33:46because we shit people through a bit too quickly.
33:49And fidgeting in kids is actually quite a good thing.
33:51Fidgety kids are usually not overweight.
33:53You shouldn't actually tell your kids not to fidget.
33:55The kids who fidget a lot often burn up lots more calories.
33:58So fidgeting's generally good, but don't have a favourite leg.
34:01Don't just say fidget the leg, do both of them.
34:03Why have a favourite leg?
34:04Exactly.
34:05If you've got two of them, love both your legs equally.
34:07It's unfair on the other one, isn't it?
34:08Love all your body parts, don't have any cosmetic implants,
34:11look after them, love your legs, love your ears, your nose,
34:13your bits and boobs, and just enjoy them.
34:15Don't stick stuff in them, that's what I say.
34:18Some sound, sound advice.
34:20But thank you so much, it's been a joy having you,
34:22as well as being hugely educational.
34:25Thank you very much.
34:26Thank you.
34:27My little hypertension feels so much better now.
34:29And on the subject of hypertension, Rachel,
34:31I can, I guess, rest assured that you won't suffer from it,
34:34but you cause a great deal of hypertension in many others,
34:37old chaps of my age.
34:39What have you got planned for the weekend?
34:41This weekend, well, my nephew's being born next week,
34:44so I'm going to go baby shopping over the weekend.
34:46Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
34:47Do we know whether it's a boy or a girl?
34:49It's a little boy.
34:50So far I've got him a cheeseburger costume,
34:52so I need to add to the collection of baby fancy dress-ups.
34:56Has he got a name yet, a first name?
34:58Pip.
34:59Pip.
35:00Pip, little Pip.
35:02Little Pip, how lovely.
35:04So, we'll see you on Monday,
35:06and we hope very much that you'll be watching us on Monday.
35:10In fact, we're counting on it.
35:11Same time, be sure of it.
35:13Good afternoon.
35:15APPLAUSE
35:45Thank you.
