00:33Well, good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:36Now, do you consider yourself to be posh?
00:39That's the question of the day.
00:41Now, if you go to the opera, apparently, you are considered posh.
00:45This is according to a survey.
00:4776% of people are said,
00:49Oh, yes, the poshest cultural activity you could possibly do
00:52is go to the opera,
00:54followed closely at 72%, with the ballet.
00:57I hate this sort of concept of posh or not posh, and I mean, to be blunt, going to the opera is a cost you an arm and a leg.
01:05So maybe, you know, wealth is sort of, you know, considered posh.
01:10You know, if you've got lots of money, you're posh, which I think is nonsense.
01:13Anyway, I just don't like this old, you know, divisive issue about being posh or not.
01:18Going to the opera costs a fortune.
01:21The ballet I once went, I was terribly disappointed because it's all very elegant
01:26and then you hear a thump as they land on the stage, and that did it for me.
01:31That was the end of my ballet experience.
01:33But certainly going to an art exhibition is some great stuff, and then you stroll in for nothing, and that's wonderful.
01:41But posh and not posh, I hate that concept. What about you? Are you with me?
01:45I've never been to ballet either.
01:47It's tough when you're with a dancer and you go and watch any dancing, you get different eyes.
01:51He's got critical eyes of other dancers.
01:53I guess.
01:54And I've only been to the opera on holiday, you know, when in Rome.
01:58In Italy, I remember, I've got an Italian friend, contemporary I suppose really, and came from Bologna.
02:06And in the old days, maybe in the 50s, a town would adopt a tenor, and the neighbouring town would adopt another tenor.
02:15And it was almost like football, hooligans, you know?
02:20They would sort of fight each other and shout and all the rest of it,
02:23if, you know, they disagreed with your choice of who was the best tenor in Italy.
02:27It's an extraordinary thing.
02:29Anyway, who's with us? I'll tell you who's with us.
02:32Jan Persky is back. Welcome back.
02:35Two good wins for you, decent score of 91.
02:38I just missed on the conundrum.
02:41Well, you've done very well.
02:43Semi-retired admin worker from Sleaford in Lincolnshire, welcome back.
02:47Thank you, Nick.
02:48We're joined by Claire Gratton, a client reporting manager in the investment banking industry, I think, from Shenfield in Essex.
02:55That's correct, yes.
02:56And you love getting out into the garden, you're lucky enough to have a big garden, there's always something to do.
03:01There is always something to do.
03:03Every single spare moment is spent out in the garden, and it's a good exercise, and it's very, very therapeutic.
03:08You've got flower beds and shrubberies and all.
03:10Lots and lots of flower beds, and about 500 foot of hedging.
03:13Get those clippers out, yeah.
03:15That's my husband's job, I clean up after him.
03:17Well done, all right.
03:18Well, thank you.
03:19Big round of applause now for Claire and Jan.
03:21APPLAUSE
03:25And over in the corner, Susie's there, joined.
03:29And please welcome one of Britain's most loved poets, it's the wonderful Pam Ayres.
03:35Welcome back.
03:36APPLAUSE
03:42It's great to have you back.
03:43Thank you very much, Nick.
03:44Thank you.
03:45Thank you.

05:11Well, we're quite pleased with ourselves.
05:13We've got a seven-letter one, which is tonsure, as in the monk.
05:17Yes, the shave, tonsure.
05:19Yes.
05:20Why do they do that, Susie?
05:21I don't know.
05:22I don't know either, actually.
05:23It's not a good look, is it?
05:24Not really.
05:25I think it's a sign of humility.
05:26An exercise in humility.
05:27I don't know.
05:29Six all, and Clare, let us go.
05:32Afternoon, Rachel.

06:48Clare?
06:49Blamed.
06:50Now then, Jan.
06:51Gambled.
06:52Well done.
06:54Pam and Susie?
06:55We've got gambled, so we're the same.
06:58Good.
06:59Anything else, Susie?
07:00No advance on that, no.
07:01No.
07:0213 plays six.
07:03Jan, your numbers go.
07:05Hello, Rachel.
07:07Two large and four small, please.
07:10It's not going to be that bad, Jan.
07:12Two large, four little to start the day.

08:01Plus a 25.
08:02825.
08:05Six plus two is eight.
08:07Yeah.
08:08Nine minus the eight is the one.
08:10Take that away.
08:11Or add it on, even.
08:13There you go, 826.
08:14There we go.
08:17And Clare?
08:18Virtually the same.
08:19I also did eight times 100 is 800.
08:21Plus 25.
08:22And then I did nine minus six is three.
08:24Three minus two is one.
08:26Thank you.
08:27Well done.
08:28APPLAUSE
08:30So, Jan, a slender lead, 23 to Clare, 16,
08:33as we turn to our first tea time teaser,
08:35which is called Tunes and the Clue.
08:37Are these the sort of tunes domino players listen to?
08:40Are these the sort of tunes domino players listen to?
08:44Are these the sort of tunes domino players listen to?
08:56APPLAUSE
09:03Welcome back. I left you with the clue.
09:05Are these the sort of tunes domino players listen to?
09:09And the answer to that one is nocturnes.

10:40Yes, Clare?
10:42Six.
10:43A six, Jan?
10:45I've only got a five.
10:47What is that five?
10:49Horse.
10:50Yes, Clare?
10:51Wheaty.
10:52Wheaty?
10:53Jan's just realised there's no R for horse, unfortunately.
10:57But I don't think we're going to find wheaty either.
11:02No, that's not there. I'm sorry.
11:05What can we have? Pam?
11:07Well, I've got potash.
11:09Yes.
11:10Being a great gardener.
11:11That beat me. That was excellent.
11:13Yes, alkaline potassium compound. Well done.
11:15It'll do.
11:16Yes.
11:17Potash.
11:18Yep.
11:19All right. And now, Jan. Letters again?
11:21A consonant, please?
11:23Thank you, Jan.
11:24F.
11:26And another consonant?
11:28N.

11:56Countdown.
12:06CLOCK TICKS
12:29Yes, Jan?
12:30Just a five.
12:32A five and?
12:34A five as well.
12:35Pound.
12:37And point.
12:38Yes, tricky one, these. Tricky ones.
12:40Can we beat it?
12:42We've got utopian, which is seven.
12:44Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
12:46Anything else, Susie?
12:47No, that was our best. Unpaid was a six.
12:50Utopian. 28 plus 21.
12:52And now, Clare, it's your numbers game.
12:55Can I have one large and five small, please?
12:57Thank you, Clare. One from the top and five little ones.
13:01And for the second time today, your numbers are six, seven, four,
13:06one, six and 75.
13:09And this target, 697.
13:12697.
13:31CLOCK TICKS
13:45Yes, Clare?
13:46No, not close enough.
13:47No, I've not got close enough either.
13:49Neither?
13:50Now, Rachel. Is it so difficult?
13:53I did find a way.
13:55If you start with 75 minus six is 69
13:59and the other six plus four is ten,
14:01you can times them together for 690 and add on the seven.
14:05Not too many ways for this one.
14:07Well done.
14:11Well done, Rachel. That's the way.
14:13Now, Pamez.
14:15Yes?
14:16I think you've got a poem for us about your favourite...
14:19Well, there's a surprise.
14:21But this one's about your favourite Sunday lunch, is that right?
14:25Well, it sort of is, Nick, yes,
14:27because I do like to go out on...
14:29I don't like cooking very much anymore.
14:31I did cooking for years on Sundays
14:33and I don't really want to do it now,
14:35so I like to go to the pub.
14:37I like to find a nice country pub
14:39and go with my husband, take our dog and the papers,
14:42and that's what I like.
14:43But I do find that nowadays they do something which I don't like.
14:47So this is my poem.
14:49It's called Don't Put Me Dinner On The Slate.
14:52LAUGHTER
14:54Good.
14:56When I fancy fish and chips and wander down the pub,
15:00please don't put a roofing slate underneath me grub.
15:04Call me out of fashion, call me old and out of date,
15:07but when I fancy fish and chips, I want it on a plate.
15:11Serve it on a breadboard and the smile dies on me lips.
15:15I imagine other diners, curry sauce and chips,
15:19lurking in the crevices and hiding in the cracks.
15:23So please remove the board and set about it with an axe.
15:27Plates are very useful, they have stood the test of time.
15:31Their surfaces are highly glazed for shrugging off the grime.
15:36Who then was the genius, the one who introduced
15:40surfaces which cannot be fastidiously sluiced?
15:44It's very difficult to say that, as a matter of fact.
15:47Just a simple plate would do, something you can wash.
15:51Not the Royal Worcester or the Villaroy and Bosch.
15:54Not the finest china with a willow patterned seam.
15:58Something ordinary, something wholesome, something clean.
16:03Caterers and chefs, if you would like my grateful thanks,
16:07please don't put my fish and chips on slates and tiles and planks.
16:12Though not on the menu with lasagne and paella,
16:16I'm afraid I might have paid for added salmonella.
16:20APPLAUSE
16:24Thank you.
16:26It's true.
16:28Thank you.
16:29It is true. Instead of concentrating on the food,
16:32they go, oh, this nonsense with slates.
16:34And the thing that gets me is now these square plates.
16:38Now, round plates are very good because you can put your knife and fork down,
16:41they stay there. You try doing that on a square plate.
16:44They're on the floor, in a second they slide around.
16:47I'll add an extra verse, Nick.
16:49Please, square plates.
16:52Thanks, Pam, that was lovely.
16:54Now, Joan, letters game.
16:56A consonant, Rachel, please.
16:58Thank you, Joan. D
17:00And another.
17:02S
17:03And a third.
17:05R
17:07And a vowel.
17:09E
17:10Another vowel, please.
17:12A
17:14Another vowel, please.
17:16O
17:18Another vowel.
17:20E
17:21A consonant.
17:23L
17:25And another consonant, please.
17:27And the last one, F.
17:29Stand by.
17:49MUSIC
18:02Well done.
18:03A seven.
18:04Claire?
18:05Only a six.
18:06Your six?
18:07Flared.
18:08Flared.
18:10Not sure about the spelling. I've got fedoras.
18:13Fedoras.
18:14How are you spelling it?
18:15F-E-D-O-R-A-S.
18:17Yes, very good.
18:19Fedoras.
18:20Yes.
18:21Pam and Susie?
18:22Well, I came up with fleas, which wasn't very inspiring,
18:26but then we've got folders, which is seven.
18:29Yes.
18:30And Susie has triumphed.
18:32Well, there is a nine there.
18:33It's the process of taking advantage of others' generosity
18:36without giving anything back, and that's freeloading.
18:38And freeloads is there for nine.
18:40Freeloading, yes.
18:42APPLAUSE
18:45Very good. Also known as ligging, I think, in common parlance.
18:49Oh, yes.
18:50Ligging.
18:51Liggers, he's a ligger.
18:5235 plus 21, Jan on 35.
18:54Claire, your letters, go.
18:56Hi, Rachel. Can I start with a consonant, please?
18:59Thank you, Claire. G.

20:07And just a five.
20:08Claire?
20:09Yes, I've got icing and...
20:10Yes, I've got icing.
20:12Icing, yeah.
20:13Icing it, yes.
20:14Yes.
20:15That's a good one.
20:16Really tough, this one.
20:17Yeah, we've come up with icing as well, which is a five,
20:20so we haven't triumphed.
20:22No, not at all.
20:23And that's it, we're leaving it?
20:25Totally, yes.
20:26Leaving it there, all right.
20:2740, 26.
20:28Jan, into the numbers, if you'd be so kind.

21:27Two times 100.
21:29Two times 100.
21:31200.
21:32Two times 50.
21:34Sorry, divide the 50 by two.
21:3650 over two, 25.
21:37And that makes 25, and add the two.
21:39Great.
21:40And Claire?
21:41Exactly the same.
21:42Exactly the same there.
21:43Yes.
21:44Rachel, one away.
21:45226.
21:46I'm sure you can crack that for us without any problem.
21:48Yes, there were a few ways.
21:50You could have said 100 plus 50, 150,
21:54times it by three for 450,
21:57add the two, 452, and divide by the other two, 226.
22:01Thank you, 226 indeed.
22:05So, Jan on 47, Claire on 33,

24:59And lastly?

25:02And the clock starts now.
25:04CLOCK TICKS
25:18CLOCK TICKS
25:35Well, Jan?
25:36Got a seven.
25:38A seven. Claire?
25:39Seven.
25:40Jan?
25:41Seeding.
25:42And?
25:43Seeding, as well.
25:45No, Pam?
25:46Well, I was quite pleased with myself because I got signed,
25:49but then Susie's got designed, so I've...
25:53She's triumphed over my efforts.
25:55She has. Yes.
25:58Now, 60 plays 46,
26:01and it's Susie we turn back to for her wonderful origins of words.
26:04And today, Susie?
26:06Today I'm going to try and answer an email in from Liam Jones,
26:10who asks,
26:11why, when we're exhausted, do we describe ourselves as knackered?
26:15For a lot of people, knackered is slightly vulgar.
26:18Pam and I were talking about this. It's got a slight edge to it,
26:21so you have to be careful what context you use it in.
26:24But its journey encompasses horses, as you might expect,
26:28and castanets as well, so it's a bit of a curious one.
26:32Back in the 16th century,
26:34a knacker made the small articles that belonged to horses,
26:37harnesses and bridles.
26:40They also dealt with all sorts of horse matters,
26:44including the sort of function, I suppose,
26:46that we're more familiar with today,
26:48which is slaughtering old horses, sick horses.
26:51So we talk about the knacker's yard.
26:53It's got that slight sad edge to it as well.
26:56But a knack was a trinket, hence the sort of harness and bridle idea.
27:00So we preserve that sense in knickknacks today.
27:04And a few centuries later,
27:07knacker sort of grew in that sense
27:09of someone who bought worn-out horses, really,
27:12and slaughtered them for their hides and for meat.
27:15He worked from a knacker's yard, as I say.
27:17So if you feel knackered, you might feel as exhausted as a sick horse.
27:21And that's one theory as to where knackered, meaning exhausted, comes from.
27:25But there's another sense of knackers, and that is castanets,
27:29and that comes from a different meaning of knack in the olden days,
27:32which was to make a short, sharp noise that's related to knock.
27:35It's the sibling of knock.
27:37And that sense of knackers led to a slang meaning,
27:41which is testicles, which some people might be familiar with today.
27:44So the idea, perhaps, is that to be knackered
27:47is to be as tired as someone who's lost their virility.
27:50We don't have definitive evidence, sadly,
27:52as to whether the ultimate origin of knackered then is the horse,
27:55the tired, worn-out horse, the jaded horse,
27:57the slaughterhouse as well, or the castanets.
28:00But certainly either of them would fit the bill.
28:02And who knows, with English, they might both have come into play.
28:05Very good.
28:07APPLAUSE
28:12Thank you, Susie. Thank you.
28:1460-46, Jan in the lead.

31:27Svelte.
31:28Which is seven.
31:29Where does svelte come from?
