00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, I wonder, which subjects does the public perceive
00:39as being the most important subjects at school?
00:42We're on surveys again, Rachel. Well, this is interesting.
00:45Top of the class, English and maths.
00:48You'll be glad to hear about that. 96% agreeing.
00:52Closely followed by science, with 94%.
00:55Round of applause? Definitely.
00:58Not such good news, Rachel, for drama, classics and Latin.
01:02Languishing at the bottom of the list,
01:04just 14% of the opinion that Latin is worth having on the curriculum at all.
01:10Actually, I think so much of our language is based on Latin
01:15that actually some sort of passing knowledge of Latin
01:19is hugely useful in determining what words mean.
01:23I don't know whether you'd agree with that.
01:25I learnt half my English words from studying Latin.
01:27Exactly. We had a lovely guy called Desmond Kennedy.
01:30And what I loved about his classes was they rolled in the history of Latin.
01:34So you had the whole sort of civilisation thing,
01:37the sort of structure of society, as well as, of course,
01:40warfare, which was a huge thing, as they rolled through Europe.
01:44I love Latin.
01:45There was a lot of killing and pleasure cruises in the texts we had to do as well.
01:49They were, yeah, up to naughty stuff all the time, those Romans.
01:54They never stopped.
01:55And they were very good at it, too.
01:57Who have we got?
01:58We've got somebody else who's pretty good at it.
02:00That's Jan Past.
02:01Welcome back, Jan.
02:02Semi-retired admin worker from Sleaford in Lincolnshire.
02:05You're joined by Greg Hollis,
02:07a young man, a student at Bournemouth University,
02:09comes from Brighton, studying at the moment.
02:12You're on a script-writing course.
02:14That's right, Nick, yeah.
02:15Because you want to get into the movies or what?
02:17Yeah, that's the dream.
02:19Movies and TV.
02:20You like your sport, too.
02:21You play golf, football, handball and badminton.
02:24So occasionally you'll pop into class.
02:26It's studying, though, doesn't it?
02:28I guess it must.
02:29Listen, let's have a big round of applause for Greg Hollis and Jan Past.

09:43Yes, they're in, actually.
09:45I did just check that.
09:46People who hand or pass something to somebody else.
09:49And Barry and Susie?
09:51I thought that was two words.
09:52Yeah, no, it's all one.
09:53North American slang.
09:55A sore head is somebody who is in a really bad temper
09:57and easily irritated.

11:19I've got honked.
11:21Um...
11:22H-O-N-K-E-D.
11:23That's absolutely fine, yes.
11:24He honked his horn, for example.
11:26It's also a word for being sick.
11:28Throwing up in the gutter is honking, isn't it?
11:30Very young.
11:32We normally refer to the fellas coming out of the gym,
11:35if they smell too much, they honk.
11:37Yes, that's true.
11:38Is that right?
11:39So many meanings.
11:41Each more delicious than the last.
11:44All right.
11:4536 to 13.
11:46Now, Greg, your numbers game.
11:48Can I have one large and five small, please, Rachel?
11:50You can indeed.
11:51Thank you, Greg.

12:01And the big one, 25.
12:03And the target, 488.
12:06488.
12:27MUSIC STOPS
12:38Well, Greg?
12:39Nothing there, sorry.
12:41No, Jan, what have you done?
12:43487.
12:44One away, that'll do.
12:46How did you get there?
12:486 plus 4 plus 9 times 25.
12:54475.
12:55It's 475.
12:56You've got the same sum as me.
12:58And plus the 7 and the 5.
13:027 and the 5, yeah.
13:04One away.
13:05487.
13:07Takes you up to 43 points, too.
13:09Not bad at all.
13:10But Rachel is going to take us to 488, maybe.
13:14Yeah, a couple of ways.
13:16You could have said 25 times 5 is 125.
13:209 minus 6 is 3.
13:233 for 1, 2, 2, and times it by 4 for 488.
13:27Fantastic. 488.
13:29Thank you, Rachel.
13:31That's the way it's done.
13:3343 plays 13.
13:34Jan on 43.
13:35And it's Barry we turn to for the last time
13:38until we can get him back here in the ring.
13:40Now, Barry, what have you got for us?
13:42Well, I'm very lucky to have a great stable
13:45of young, talented fighters at the moment.
13:48And we're going through a pretty unprecedented stage
13:51in professional boxing in this country.
13:53A couple of years ago, we had more world champions
13:56in North America.
13:57We have, of course, Anthony Joshua,
13:59who is the shop window of our sport,
14:02is the heavyweight division.
14:03So when you have the world heavyweight champion,
14:06all the eyes of the world are on the UK.
14:09And he's doing a wonderful job.
14:11But we've got a young kid we just got a...
14:14We've signed a promotional contract with
14:16called Martin Bokoli.
14:18He's from the Congo, but based, we believe, in Glasgow.
14:22And this kid can really fight 110 kilos,
14:25six feet, five and a half.
14:27Tremendously talented young man.
14:29Probably better boxing aptitude than Joshua,
14:33but not the same physical specimen.
14:35Certainly has got tremendous talent.
14:37We've got a young kid called Josh Taylor.
14:39Fantastic talent.
14:41Super lightweight.
14:42He's 11 and 0 with 10 knockouts.
14:45He's rated in all of the world rankings.
14:47We've got a young girl called Chantelle Cameron.
14:50This girl is phenomenal.
14:52She's going to be the world champion.
14:54She's going to clean up all the lightweight division.
14:57She's really special.
14:58She's from Northampton.
14:59That's just my stable.
15:01There's a tremendous talent throughout the country.
15:03And, you know, I sit ringside and I bob and weave
15:08and I throw the punches with the kids.
15:10It's terrific.
15:11It's great to be part of their life
15:14and give them the chance to maximise their potential.
15:17I've watched you hopping around.
15:18I know.
15:19Through the ropes.
15:20Yeah, yeah.
15:21I look at all these football managers.
15:23They wouldn't hold a candle to me.
15:25I'm throwing the punches and bobbing and weaving and slipping.
15:28But it's great because you just want these kids to be successful.
15:32Yeah, indeed.
15:33Well, that's it.
15:34They are.
15:35And we give them a big round of applause.
15:36Big round of applause.
15:37Barry.
15:38APPLAUSE
15:41Now, 43 to 13.

17:00Gone.
17:01Lucky, wasn't it?
17:02Well done.
17:03Beans.
17:04Any more beans over there?
17:05You could stick an O on and have Beano's.
17:06Beano's.
17:07Beano's.
17:08Yes.
17:09You could stick an O on and have Beano's.
17:10Beano's.
17:11Beano's.
17:12Yes, the parties.
17:13That will give you a six, another one's a seven.
17:15And there is a cracker, bowfin.
17:18B-O-W-F-I-N.
17:20And Susie's going to tell you the definition.
17:23Yes, you can put the S on for both fins.
17:25For both fins.
17:26Yep, and they're predatory American freshwater fish,
17:29large heads, long fins,
17:31able to survive for long periods out of water.
17:35Oh.
17:36APPLAUSE

18:59And I have retained too.
19:01Both retained.
19:03Can we beat it, I wonder, Susie?
19:06If there was an R left, you could have retrained for nine.
19:09APPLAUSE
19:10Well done.
19:14Yes.
19:15I happen to have split them apart even more.
19:1756 to 26, Jan on 56.
19:20And it's numbers time for you, Jan Pesk.
19:23Two from the top.

20:13Hmm, 627.
20:17627, Greg?
20:19621.
20:21That'll do.
20:22Let's have a crack at that, shall we? Greg?
20:2450 divided by five is ten.
20:27Yep.
20:28100 minus ten is 90.
20:31It is.
20:32And minus 630.
20:34630.
20:35And minus the nine.
20:36Yep, one away.
20:38Almost there, well done.
20:40Almost there, but not quite.
20:42620, Rachel, can it be done?
20:44Yes, it can.
20:45If you say 100 plus seven plus seven is 114,
20:51times it by five for 570 and add on the 50 for 620.
20:56Bravo, well done.
20:58APPLAUSE
20:59620.

21:11He'd arranged to meet Carol, but he was never going to be on time.
21:16MUSIC
21:24APPLAUSE
21:31Welcome back. I left with the clue, he'd arranged to meet Carol,
21:34but he was never going to be on time,
21:36because he was an inveterate latecomer, is the answer.
21:41Latecomer.
21:43So, 56 to 33, Jan on 56.
21:46Greg, your letters game.

23:06We have a cracker.
23:08Abalone.
23:09Or abalone.
23:10Abalone. What does abalone mean?
23:12It's an edible mollusk,
23:14and it has those shells that line with Mother of Pearl.
23:16It's quite beautiful to look at.
23:18So that's another seven, abalone.
23:20Abalone. How do you eat them, then?
23:22You cook them up or you eat them raw?
23:24To be honest, I'm not sure. I've never eaten one.
23:26I've seen the shells.
23:28I haven't lived.
23:30Neither have I.

24:25CLOCK TICKS
24:43Jan?
24:45Try a seven.
24:46A seven. How about Greg?
24:48Just a six.
24:49And your six?
24:50Dreamt.
24:51And Jan?
24:52Mutated.
24:54Mutated is a good seven, but there is an eight there.
24:57Yes, so it's Mudirate.
24:59Is that correct, the correct pronunciation?
25:01Absolutely right.
25:02It is the territory of a Mudir,
25:05which is the governor of a sub-district in Turkey
25:08or a province in Egypt or the Sudan.
25:10Oh, well.
25:12Mudir.
25:16Terrific.
25:17So, 69-39
25:20sees Jan in the lead.
25:22As we turn to Susie and your origins of words,
25:25what have you for us today?
25:27Well, I have an email in from Julie Payne in Sevenoaks
25:31who asks,
25:32why, when something appeals to me or to her,
25:35does it tickle her fancy?
25:37Why does it tickle my fancy?
25:39For this, we have to go back to the late 18th century.
25:42That's when you'll find the first record of tickling one's fancy.
25:46And there was an English gent and a philosopher called Abraham Tucker,
25:50and he described seeing a play that, quote,
25:53had a quality of striking the joyous perception
25:56or, as we vulgarly say, tickling the fancy.
26:00So I'm going to talk about tickling to explain this.
26:03And the history of the verb to tickle probably began with the Vikings
26:07and their old Norse word, which was kittla.
26:10So it was almost the other way round.
26:12Instead of tickle, it was kittle.
26:14In fact, it passed into Scottish
26:16and some parts of northern Britain in their dialect as a verb,
26:20to kittle, meaning to tickle.
26:22And right from its earliest beginnings in English,
26:25tickle has meant to, again, I'm quoting the OED,
26:28to stir or be stirred to a thrill of pleasure.
26:32That's the tickling part.
26:34The very first meaning of fancy is just a shortened form of fantasy,
26:38and that's how it arose.
26:40So the idea of tickling the fancy
26:42was really just exciting your senses as well as your thoughts.
26:46And the use of fancy to mean that,
26:49as well as when we fancy someone, we desire someone,
26:52they're both linked to this original idea of imagining something
26:55that's ideal and attractive, so all about the imagination.
26:58And it goes back to the Greek fantasticos, which was a vision, really,
27:03and that in turn gave us phantom as well as phenomenon.
27:06Back to tickling, I thought I'd finish with tickling
27:09because there are actually two distinct kinds.
27:11There's the hard, playful, laughter-inducing kind of tickling,
27:15and that's called gargalesis.
27:17And there's another one, which is kinesmesis,
27:20and that's a sort of feather-like tickling that's not very nice
27:23and that makes you itch.
27:25And I hate being tickled because I broke my leg, famously,
27:29in a tickle fight with my dad and my sister.
27:31So if, like me, you have a bit of a phobia of tickling,
27:34there is also a good word for it, and that's, back to gargalesis again,
27:37is gargala-phobia.
27:39So, tickling the fancy, maybe, but it doesn't tickle my fancy, I have to say.
27:43It's interesting because I have been forbidden at home.
27:48You mustn't tickle children because it's construed, she thinks, as bullying.
27:52Is that possible?
27:54Can you buy into that?
27:56You're talking to the wrong person. I just hate it.
27:58I always thought it was rather likely. I don't know.
28:00I'm obviously wrong again.
28:02Well, pain and pleasure.
28:03There's nothing I can do to please her.

30:48Jan?
30:49I've got plasters.
30:51How about Greg Hollis?
30:53Pre-tales.
30:55Pre-tales. Is it re-tales?
30:57It's spelt that way.
30:59I don't think we're going to be lucky with that, Greg.
31:01It's not there, I'm afraid. Sorry.
31:03What else have we got? Barry?
31:05We have pilasters.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Yeah.
31:09They are rectangular columns, so architectural term.
31:12And that would give you a nine.
31:14Pilasters. Very good.
31:1884 to 39. Well done, Jan.
31:20It's Greg's numbers game.

32:12Well, Greg? 530.
32:15Six away. How about Jan?
32:17I've got 533.
32:19533? I hope.
32:21Shall we try it? Yeah, we will.
32:23Go on.
32:24Six divided by two equals three.
32:26Yep.
32:27Plus the four equals, add that together, equals a seven.
32:30Mm-hm.
32:31Times a 75.

32:33I hope you'd say that.
32:34Plus the eight.

32:36That's it.
32:37That's it.
32:38Lovely.
32:39Well done. Well done.
32:40Not quite there, though.
32:41That's what Rachel is going to help us with, I hope.
32:43536?
32:44Yes.
32:45If you say 75 minus eight, you get 67.
32:50And then two times four gives you another eight
32:53and just times them together.
32:54Fabulous.
