00:30Good afternoon, good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:3416th of May, ah, the darling buds of May,
00:37with summer just around the corner.
00:39Those warm days are absolutely on their way,
00:41which means, I guess, that everybody wants to look good
00:44because they're looking forward to their holidays and the beach and so forth,
00:47so they want to be fit and they want to be toned.
00:50And the big thing, apparently, Rachel, up in Scandinavia,
00:53in order to get toned and fit and also to be environmentally conscientious
00:58is plogging.
01:00What's plogging? It's jogging whilst picking up litter.
01:03Brilliant, isn't it?
01:04So you go for a jog and you have a plastic bag with you
01:07and you pick up the litter and pop it in the bag
01:09and you've got fit and toned, but also you've done some good.
01:13And, in fact, in our little local community, people go for walks.
01:17It's a very small community, probably about, how many houses would there be?
01:22Maybe 15?
01:24But there are walks where everybody gets together
01:26and they just walk the lanes and pick up the rubbish,
01:29of which there's far too much.
01:31It's amazing what people...
01:33They go to the trouble to drive into the country
01:36in order to throw their rubbish out.
01:38I don't get it. Anyway...
01:40It's nice that people are doing something about it.
01:42I've seen, as well, there's someone that they go around on paddle boards
01:45called Plastic Patrol and pick out the plastic from canals.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Yeah, because it is disgusting and it goes straight into the sea,
01:52so good for these people.
01:54It's wonderful, though, that actually people really are getting into this.
01:57Now, you don't have any plastic bottles for your water.
02:00You drag around an aluminium can.
02:02I've got an aluminium can and I've got my bottle that I reuse all the time, yeah.
02:05I guess that's the thing with politics at the moment.
02:07A lot of people are so unhappy that it's forcing people
02:10to do things for themselves.
02:12It's one of the good side effects of bad people.
02:15This is one of your bug bears, isn't it?
02:17Absolutely. I hate it.
02:19Who have we got? We've got a five-time winner back, Rachel.
02:22Paul Harper's back. Welcome back, Paul.
02:24Thanks, Nick.
02:25How are you feeling? Five wins, not bad, eh?
02:27Lucky so far, so hopefully we'll carry it on.
02:30I don't think you're lucky at all. You're a good player.
02:33Now you're up against Vincent Clarke,
02:35from Fife, a marketing management student, and a golfer.
02:39You're a young man, you're 18, I think?
02:4118, yeah.
02:42And you're playing off...
02:43Four.
02:44..of four members of the St Andrews Golf Club.
02:47And what do you think you'll do when you've finished your studies?
02:50Not sure exactly what yet, but it's quite a broad course,
02:53so keeping my options open.
02:55Well done. Well, look, good luck to you both.
02:57Have a lot of fun.
02:58And let's have a big round of applause for Vincent and Paul.
03:06And Susie's over in the corner on this lovely May Day.
03:10And sitting next to Susie and back for the second time,
03:13Dr Linda Papadopoulos.
03:18Psychologist and author, and working hard on Netflix,
03:22doing some extraordinary work there, I think,
03:24with...it's An Analysis Of.
03:27Tell us a little bit about that.
03:29One of the shows I'm doing is called Autopsy,
03:31and it kind of looks at the final days,
03:34right before a very famous death.
03:37But I try and do a psychological autopsy,
03:39so I look at what led up to sort of the choices
03:42that leads up to explaining why people ended the way they did.
03:46Always untimely, I guess. But more about that later on.
03:49Now then, Paul, off we go. Letters game?
03:52Yes. Good afternoon, Rachel.

06:55We found airwards.
06:57Yes, airwards.
06:58It means the same as airward, upward, towards the air,
07:01in other words. It's a nice adverb.
07:03Thank you. Airwards.

12:27We can. We got genomic, which is related to the human genome,
12:32and emoting, which, as a psychologist, I speak about a lot,
12:35showing emotion.
12:37Emoting, indeed. Thank you for that.

14:02Deduct a 5, 67.
14:04There we go.
14:05Multiply by 10.
14:06Very well done, both. 670.
14:08APPLAUSE
14:11Paul on 36 and four points behind we have Vincent,
14:14as we turn to Dr Linda.
14:16Now, at the top of the show we were talking about toning,
14:18which I guess is all about body image,
14:20but you've got something to talk to us about, body image,
14:23and an experiment that you're interested in.
14:26Yeah, this is one of, I guess, my favourite experiments ever spoken about.
14:30An early professor told me about this study.
14:33It was quite famous.
14:34So what they did is they took a group of people,
14:36they wanted to look at the effect of facial disfigurement,
14:38and they said to them,
14:40we're going to get you to go outside and hand out leaflets.
14:42But before we do, we're going to get in a makeup artist
14:45who's going to put a scar on your face.
14:46Now, you're not going to see yourself,
14:48but we want you to go out and hand out these leaflets
14:50and come back and report how you feel.
14:52So they go out, they hand out leaflets,
14:54and they come back, and they're like, well, what happened?
14:56They're like, it was awful.
14:57People wouldn't stand near us, they wouldn't make eye contact,
15:00I could barely hand out half of them.
15:02It was a really awful experience being out there with this scar.
15:05They said, okay, what we're going to do now
15:07is we're going to get the makeup artist back in
15:09to remove this scar.
15:10Again, you're not going to see yourself,
15:11but you're going to go outside,
15:13trying to hand out these questionnaires,
15:15but with your normal appearance.
15:16They said, brilliant.
15:17So they went out, they did that, they came back,
15:19they said, how was it?
15:20They said, brilliant.
15:21I handed them all out, I got a couple of phone numbers,
15:23people spoke to me, they looked at me in the eye.
15:25They said, great, now we need to tell you something.
15:27You looked exactly the same both at time one and at time two.
15:31We lied.
15:32You never had a scar on your face.
15:33And to me, that epitomizes what body image is
15:36because body image isn't an objective perception of how we look.
15:40Rather, it's a subjective notion of how we think we're perceived by others.
15:44So when I work with people with body image disorders,
15:47what we try very much to do is look at those self-fulfilling prophecies.
15:52If I expect you to not like me because of the way that I look,
15:55then I probably will act in such a way so as to bring it about.
15:58And this is what was happening in this study.
16:00They were looking down, they were covering their hair,
16:02they were mumbling.
16:03As soon as they felt they looked good,
16:04they stood up, shoulders back, they smiled.
16:07And so one of the most powerful things I think we can do for ourselves
16:11as individuals and parents out there for their kids
16:14is to teach this idea of having this sense of confidence in who you are
16:19because if you can find something you like in yourself,
16:21then that's what you'll project.
16:23Fascinating. How extraordinary.
16:25APPLAUSE
16:28Is that the first time I've heard of this?
16:31I was a professor back in Canada.
16:34Again, that was one of the reasons I got into the area.
16:37This idea of subjectivity around it is fascinating, and this is it.
16:41I worked in this area for years, and some of the facial cancer patients I see
16:45have better body image than some of the models that I see
16:48because it's about what I think I should be, what I ought to look like.
16:51And again, we live in a world where the visual is so important.
16:54We're constantly taking pictures of ourselves and posting them
16:57that I think we've got such a ridiculous idea of having to reach this perfection
17:01that we forget to kind of just savour who we are.
17:04I seem to remember I was a bit self-conscious and I had the braids
17:07and I felt better, but I still can't smile.
17:10Is that right? Yeah.
17:11Oh, we need to get you practising to do that.
17:13I can't smile. People say, you know, they want to say...
17:16Rachel understands and Susie.
17:18I can't smile.
17:20With showing teeth. With showing teeth.
17:22You're still conscious of it.
17:23But this is it, and the thing is if you don't challenge that,
17:25you never get out of those patterns of behaviour.
17:28So a big part of getting out of them is coming out of your comfort zone.
17:31Well, we'll speak at the break. I'll get you smiling after.
17:33I'll make an appointment. I'll make an appointment.
17:35Brilliant.
17:36Thank you. 36-32.

19:03Yes.
19:04Anything else?
19:05No, we were having a discussion as to whether it's a noun or a verb
19:08and we were preferring the verb sense.
19:10All right.

25:34Oh. Sorry, I don't write it down.
25:37Oh, that is bad luck.
25:39Oh, that's cruel.
25:41Well done, Paul. All right.
25:43Anna.
25:44The same. We found deletion.
25:46Same thing? Yeah.
25:47All right.
25:48So, Vincent's lost his lead, but only by a point.
25:5157 to 56.
25:53And now to Susie.
25:55And your wonderful origins of words.
25:57Susie.
25:58Thanks, Nick.
25:59Well, I'm going to talk about the words with very ancient origins,
26:02in fact, and slightly surprising ones.
26:04We know when farmers want to draft animals to work together,
26:07they will often harness them together with a bar, a wooden frame,
26:11which is a bit of a rend for the animal's head.
26:13Quite basic, if you think about it, and it is indeed very, very old.
26:17In English, of course, this device is known as a yoke.
26:20And the ancient Romans did exactly the same thing.
26:23They used the same method, and they called it a yugum,
26:26and that was from their verb yungere, which meant to join.
26:30That gave us junction and joint.
26:32And when the Romans began conquering other nations,
26:36they, in turn, looked for a way of punishing the people
26:40and also symbolising Roman dominance
26:43and indeed humiliation of their enemy.
26:46And they thought about these yokes that they used for the cattle,
26:49and they adapted it, really, for the defeated troops.
26:53And what they did is they would assemble all the troops
26:55that they had then conquered,
26:57and they would put two spears upright in the ground
26:59and lay a third across them,
27:01so it looked pretty much like the yokes that the animals were carrying.
27:04And the conquered army, the soldiers,
27:06were each forced to pass under this yoke,
27:10symbolically acknowledging, really, that in order to stoop low,
27:13they were slaves to their conquerors.
27:16As I say, a very old practice that actually went back
27:19even before the Roman times,
27:21and it was used in the beginning to show redemption of sins.
27:24So, for example, to avoid capital punishment
27:27if somebody had committed a murder,
27:29they too would be forced to pass below the yoke
27:32in order to remove their murder guilt.
27:35And then from this expiation of sins,
27:37it became the ritual removal of authority, I suppose,
27:42for these conquered soldiers,
27:44who would then, as I say, have to pass below it.
27:46But from an English point of view, for us today,
27:49that process, horrible as it sounds, really,
27:52had an enduring effect, because the Romans termed
27:54the humiliating experience subiugum,
27:57which meant under the yoke,
27:59and it's from that that we get the verb subjugate today.
28:02Very good.
28:04Very good.
28:09Now, so one point in it,
28:11Paul in the lead by a point, 57-56.
28:14Vincent, now then, letters game.

32:39Gentlemen, good luck to you both.
32:41Fingers on buzzers.
32:43Let's roll that crucial countdown conundrum.
32:50Paul, so fast.
32:52Exuberant.
32:54Could it be possible? Let's have a look.
32:57So fast.
32:59Exuberant.
33:05I doubt that was over a second.
33:0891 plays 80.
33:10Well done, well done. I'll come to you in a minute.
33:12Vincent, you played like a champ, frankly.
33:15You got all the numbers, you played really, really well.
33:18You had that one thing, that one slip.
33:21It's a terrible thing, isn't it?
33:23When you suddenly forget to write it down, you've got it.
33:26Travel safely back to Fife, take this goodie bag with you.

33:45Excellent. Thanks.
33:47So there we are.
33:49Dr Linda and Susie.
33:51That was a close-run thing.
33:53We'll see you tomorrow. Have a pleasant evening.
33:55All right. What do you reckon?
33:57Oh, it's normally a good secret weapon, the six small,
33:59but Paul was definitely a match there.
34:01Very good at the numbers as well, so good contest.
34:04Excellent. We'll see you next time.
