00:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to Countdown Studio.
00:34On Friday 18th May, I wonder how many people shall saw that extraordinary story
00:39about the German lawyer.
00:41The German lawyer lived in Dortmund, apparently,
00:44and he was the recipient of any number of unwanted gifts.
00:49It was extraordinary. For instance, in just over a fortnight,
00:53the doorbell rang any number of times
00:57and 100 unordered pizzas were thrust into his unwanting hands.
01:03Then the currywurst started to arrive, followed by the sushi.
01:07He thought, what's going on here?
01:09Surely no client or ex-client hates me this much.
01:13The thing is, apparently, it was the old computer, wasn't it,
01:16in the ordering service.
01:18They kept coming and coming and coming
01:20and eventually it came down to the fact that it was simply a computer fault.
01:24I don't know. I mean, I've had a few unwanted or unordered parcels,
01:29one of which was delivered here.
01:31I think I've told you before, and I'm sort of embarrassed to go into it again,
01:35other than to say that it was an inappropriate gift from a lady.
01:40Any deliveries that you didn't particularly fancy or haven't asked for?
01:45Not me personally, but my favourite story I've seen
01:47is when a lady ordered a table on eBay. Did you see this?
01:50And instead of a table arriving, she was delivered 40 live tropical fish.
01:56So they brought the big box up and she opened it up
01:59and she was just surrounded by all these fish and she said,
02:01I ordered a table.
02:03Amazing. But we do live in extraordinary times where you can just order,
02:06you don't have to go shopping at all, in it pops.
02:09Anyway, there we are. Let's see who's in today, shall we?
02:12Paul Harper's back. He's got a season ticket here, Paul.
02:15I have at the moment.
02:17Finance Officer of Manchester. Look, seven wins.
02:20Seven wins. Good luck to you today.
02:23It's a big day for you, but having said that,
02:25let's also hope that Gerry Walsh has a good day today.
02:29Gerry, how are you?
02:30I'm good, Nick. Thank you.
02:31From Worcester, but from the west of Ireland originally, from County Mayo.
02:35County Mayo.
02:36The Gaeltacht. How lovely.
02:37The Wild West.
02:38I bet. And what are you doing in Worcester?
02:40I work at Hertfordshire College in the libraries.
02:43OK. And you're running that library?
02:45I'm supervisor.
02:46OK, well done.
02:47And you like to keep fit, you walk around every day.
02:50Worcester's not a bad place to walk around, is it?
02:52It's a great place to walk.
02:53Beautiful.
02:54Lovely cathedral there with a great cathedral choir too, from memory.
02:57Beautiful.
02:58Good luck, Gerry, and good luck to you, Paul.
03:01Big round of applause for these two great contestants.
03:06And over the corner, Susie, of course,
03:08and next to her, author and psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos.

06:29We found Seamount and Boatsmen.
06:32Boatsmen.
06:33Yes, Boatsmen.
06:34So you can take it a little bit further for eight.
06:37And Seamount is a mountain under the sea.
06:39Seamount.

08:24APPLAUSE
08:35Welcome back. I left with a clue.
08:37He's the shiftiest of characters with some very peculiar tastes.
08:41In fact, it would be reasonable to suggest that he's a fetishist.

10:35Yes. Anything else?
10:37That would be absolutely the best we could do, overturn.
10:39Not bad. All right.
10:41So, Paul, off we go. Letters again.
10:44I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.

11:58Well done. Flawed and...?
12:00Slightly different. Flawed.
12:02And flawed. Susie?
12:04Lots of sixes. Fold, another one.
12:07Have a horse. But six is our best.
12:09Thank you. All right.
12:11Now, Geri.
12:14Numbers have come up again.
12:16Off we go.
12:18Could I have one large and five small, please, Rachel?
12:20Thank you, Geri. One from the top again.
12:22Five little ones again.
12:24And these little ones are...
12:26four, six, five, nine and six.
12:31And the big one, 25.
12:33And your target, 778.
12:35778.
12:37778.
13:08Geri?
13:10774.
13:12Four away, Paul.
13:14775.
13:16So it's over to you.
13:18Yes, Paul?
13:19We'll start. Six times five is 30.
13:22Six times five, yep, 30.
13:25Four plus six minus nine is one.
13:28Yep.
13:29Add that to the 30, multiply by 25.
13:3231 by 25, 775.
13:35But it's still over to you, Rachel.
13:37778?
13:39I can get you slightly closer, but leave this one with me.
13:41Certainly will.
13:43So 34 plays six, and it's Dr Linda we turn to.
13:47I think you want to talk about food.
13:49I do.
13:51I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day who works in TV,
13:55and he was telling me that 52% of programmes on TV today are food-related,
14:00whether they're cooking shows or diet shows.
14:03There's shows about cupcakes and shows about how much you can eat.
14:07And it's interesting, because in the world of mental health,
14:10we're seeing two things.
14:12We're seeing a rise in eating disorders like anorexia,
14:15but also a rise in things like obesity.
14:17So what I thought would be interesting is to kind of just speak a little bit
14:20about the way that we emotionalise food,
14:23because we know the reasons that we overeat tend to come down to two things.
14:27Number one, it's habituation, because you're just mindlessly eating,
14:30so you're sitting in front of the TV and just putting things in your mouth.
14:33In fact, one of the tricks you can use is to eat with your non-dominant hand.
14:36If you eat popcorn, for example, with your left hand rather than your right,
14:40you eat more mindfully.
14:42You actually have to think of doing it to eat significantly less, so try that.
14:45But the other thing we do is we emotionalise food.
14:48So if you think about, I don't know, when a girlfriend breaks up with her partner,
14:52you come over with a tub of ice cream and you console her.
14:55Or when you're anxious, you might kind of eat anxiously.
14:58So what would be really useful is if you find yourself overeating,
15:01is to sit down in your larder and then try substituting.
15:05So perhaps if I need comfort, instead of reaching for the chocolate,
15:08I'll call a friend, I'll speak to someone that can support me, I'll go out for a walk.
15:13Perhaps if I'm stressed, instead of reaching for something crunchy that'll get me,
15:17I'll go out for a jog, I'll do a sudoku puzzle to take my mind off it.
15:22This epidemic we're seeing with both sides,
15:24I think we need to kind of start approaching it in a different way.
15:27That's fascinating, yeah.
15:28Chocolate, you think, that's a comforting... I love chocolate, actually.
15:32In fact, I turn to her at the end of dinner and I say,
15:35and the chocolate? And she'll say there isn't any.
15:39How much do you have after dinner then? A piece, two pieces? How much do you have?
15:42Oh, no, I can take a bar.
15:44A whole bar?
15:45Yeah.
15:46Okay.
15:47But food, I think it's extraordinary, the number of food programmes.
15:50And in fact, I got involved in one, which was for a good cause.
15:53Which was for a good cause. It was for Stand Up To Cancer.
15:56I shall never go into the kitchen again.
15:58Was it that bad?
16:00It was terrible.
16:01And I made a chocolate cake.
16:03And they said, and who's responsible for this cow pat?
16:07To which I pleaded guilty.
16:09But there we are, that's another story, yeah.
16:11So thanks, Linda. Fascinating, fascinating subject.
16:14And what's equally fascinating is what Rachel's been up to.
16:17Did you crack it?
16:18Eventually I found it.
16:19If you say 25 minus 5 is 20, times 6 is 120,
16:25add the 9 for 129, times that by the other 6 for 774,
16:30and add on the 4.
16:32778.
16:33Well done.
16:38Delicious. Thank you, Rachel.
16:40778. And now, Paul, it's your letters game.

25:59and I'm going to continue the theme of performance,
26:03but I'm going to be more on the sort of jokey side today,
26:05because, in fact, the Latin noun jocus, I-O-C-U-S,
26:09meant a jest or a game.
26:11It's where we get joke from, that I became a J.
26:15And the Romans also coined a phrase jocus partitus,
26:19which meant a drawn game,
26:21so it could have been an amusement game
26:24or it could indeed have been some sort of fight in an arena
26:27that was even or tied or incredibly closely fought.
26:31At the time, many Latin words, as we know, came to French.
26:33That's how they often travelled into English.
26:35And the French changed the spelling to je parti, the same idea.
26:39It was used to represent a divided game
26:41or a game that was very, very evenly matched between opponents.
26:45And since the outcome of a game that is that close
26:47is very, very unpredictable,
26:49je parti came to mean uncertainty of any kind
26:53and not just in a game.
26:55English, of course, then changed it from je parti to jeopardy
26:59and used it first in chess and similar games,
27:02so they stuck very much to the amusement sense.
27:05But again, as so often with English,
27:07time strengthened that connotation of unpredictability and uncertainty
27:11to the extent that in jeopardy came to mean actually at risk
27:14or somebody that was definitely in danger of some kind.
27:17Double jeopardy in legal terms, of course,
27:19is when the same person can't be tried for the same crime twice.
27:23Speaking of danger,
27:26from the early Middle Ages into the 19th century,
27:29danger meant power, it meant something very, very different.
27:32So it was jurisdiction, if you like,
27:34held by a lord or a master over his kingdom or over his slaves, indeed.
27:39And that reflects danger's origin, which is quite surprising, really.
27:42It goes back to the Latin dominus, which meant a master or a lord.
27:46That gave us predominant.
27:48It also gave us dungeon, in fact,
27:50because the master had the power to throw somebody into the dungeon as punishment.
27:54But that idea of power became power to harm,
27:57and that's where we got the idea of danger today.
28:01Very good. Well done.

32:25Gerry?
32:27Nowhere near, Nick.
32:29I think that's not unusual.
32:31Now, Paul, what have you concocted there?
32:33I've got nowhere near as well.
32:35Let's see whether it's possible,
32:37because I know that Rachel sort of sighed
32:41when she saw the total.
32:43Yeah. No?
32:45I got to 299 away.
32:47Not bad.
32:49Under the circumstances. Thank you.
32:51All right, so 97 to 41 into the final round.
