00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:04APPLAUSE
00:31Hello, everybody. We're all clued up and ready to solve the mystery
00:34of another episode of Countdown.
00:36Prime suspect, as always, is Rachel Riley.
00:39Of course, Ardell O'Hanlon played D.I. Jack Mooney
00:42in Death In Paradise.
00:44Love me any type of crime drama, detective series,
00:48all the old schools, obviously.
00:50But you and I, in terms of being bang up-to-date and relevant,
00:54have an obsession with a certain TV show.
00:56Yes, well, it was you talking about it in the make-up room
00:58that made me watch it for the first time.
01:00Only Murders In The Building.
01:02I love Steve Martin. Martin Short's brilliant.
01:04I mean, I love them from Father Of The Bride days.
01:07That's kind of the first thing I remember seeing them in together.
01:09But they're brilliant. I love it.
01:11A true modern-day classic, you agree?
01:13Yep, love it. All right, brilliant.
01:15OK, well, just dealing in the facts, ma'am,
01:17is Susie Dent in Dictionary Corner.
01:19And just one more thing, Ardell O'Hanlon's back.
01:21APPLAUSE
01:25All right, let's get to our champion, Mike.
01:27Tom's just one win under the belt,
01:29so a big day for you in the champions' chair.
01:31How does it feel?
01:32Yeah, great.
01:33Let's move to the right.
01:35OK, Jo Langham is our challenger.
01:38And whether it's professionally or personally,
01:41Jo, just music just comes out of everything that you do.
01:44Yes, I suppose so, it does.
01:46Yeah, I'm a head of music in a secondary school,
01:48so it's my day job and, yeah, a big part of my life.
01:53And what about the instruments that you play for fun?
01:56Well, I originally...
01:58The oboe was my principal instrument when I was at university
02:02and then singing, not particularly well,
02:05but singing and playing piano has sort of taken over.
02:09It's my favourite and I do that a lot at the school,
02:11accompanying all the students and things.
02:13Right, good luck to you today, Jo. Mike.
02:15APPLAUSE
02:17And the champion always chooses first, so let's get some letters.

03:28And that's time. How did you get on, Jo?
03:30Just a six.
03:32That's not just. You can cut that word out.
03:34Six is perfect. Power for the course.
03:36Mike. I have a six not written down.
03:38What's your six not written down? Denial.
03:40Denial. And Jo? Loaned.
03:42Yes, loaned and denial.
03:44You see, not just a six, six points for you.
03:46Ardillo Hanlam, what have you got?
03:48No, I can't do better than that.
03:50I've got hailed and mailed.
03:52Loads of nice sixes in there.
03:54I like that. Nice easy start to the show.
03:56Anything better, though, Susie?
03:58There's manhole. Manhole.
04:00And look what's left, Rachel,
04:02after what we talked about.
04:04D.I. Manhole. It's a great name, isn't it?
04:06What would the show be called? I don't know.
04:08The Streets. Sure.
04:10D.I. Manhole.
04:12Anything else? Yeah, there is an eight there.
04:14Melanoid, which is to do with the melanin,
04:16the pigment in the skin. There you go.
04:18Melanoid. Great. Six points each.
04:20Let's get your first letters. Jo, you can say hello to Rach.
04:22Hi, Rachel. Hi, Jo.
04:24Can I have a consonant, please? You can, indeed.

05:14MUSIC PLAYS
05:28Mike?
05:30Dubious seven.
05:32Jo? Seven.
05:34What's dubious about it? Waster.
05:36W-A-I-S-T-E-O.
05:38And Jo? Waiters.
05:40Waiters is fine. Let's go for the Susie.
05:42Yes, no waster with that spelling.
05:44Not with the I, I'm afraid, Mike, sorry.
05:46Right, there you go. So the seven counts for challenger Jo,
05:48who takes an early lead. Ardal, any sevens, eights?
05:50Waiters.
05:52Susie?
05:54You can take it to an eight with software.
05:56Brilliant. I love that.
05:58You also had wires up there, just keeping the detective theme.
06:00All right, first numbers of the day.
06:02Mike, I'm going to need six from you.
06:04Two from the top, please.
06:06Thank you, Mike. Too large.
06:08Four little. First one of this contest.
06:10The numbers are...
06:22796. Numbers up.
06:40MUSIC PLAYS
06:54796, the target.
06:56Jo?
06:58796, but not fully written down.
07:00OK. Mike?
07:02I have 799, but not properly written down.
07:04Jo, for ten points. Off you go.
07:06Um...
07:08No, I've seen that, I've made a mistake, sorry.
07:10Oh, sorry. Mike?
07:12Right, eight divided by two is four.
07:14Eight over two, four.
07:16Add to the 75. 79.
07:18Multiply by ten.
07:20790. And add the nine.
07:22And you get three away, 799.
07:24Rachel, 796?
07:26Yeah, a couple of ways. You could have said
07:2825 plus 75 gets you to 100.
07:30Times it by eight,
07:32for 800.
07:34Ten divided by two is five.
07:36Nine less than five is four.
07:38And take it away for 796.
07:40APPLAUSE
07:42All tied up, it's 18 points each.
07:44Here's your first tea time teaser.
07:46Wide Flex.
07:48Wide Flex. This plant sounds like
07:50it enjoys a trip to the cinema.
07:52This plant sounds like it enjoys a trip to the cinema.
07:54APPLAUSE
08:08Yeah, welcome back.
08:10Wide Flex becomes flixweed.
08:12This plant sounds like it enjoys a trip to the cinema.
08:15Has an interesting story behind it, flixweed?
08:18Well, only in terms of its medicinal history,
08:21cos it's a plant with small yellow flowers
08:24and it was formerly thought to cure dysentery.
08:27But it was nonsense?
08:29Don't know. The formerly thought to makes it sound a bit dubious,
08:32but who knows? Homeopaths will be able to tell us, I'm sure.
08:35They just used it as a bong, was it?
08:38Possibly.
08:40Let's put a cork in that conversation
08:42and get some more letters now.
08:44And it's your turn, Jo.

09:57Infest.
09:59That's not even a seven, it's a six.
10:01You're going to kick yourself here. Mike?
10:03Counties.
10:05It came out after the F, if you say it really quickly.
10:07Ardal, did you have that?
10:09Yes, counties.
10:11I tend to read backwards.
10:13Big points for Mike there, and it's your letters.
10:16Another consonant, please.

11:16Seven.
11:18And Jo?
11:20Six.
11:22What's the six, Jo?
11:24Just loner.
11:26Loner's there. And Mike?
11:28Mineral.
11:30And mineral. Fantastic for seven.
11:32There you go, champion.
11:34Pulling ahead in part two.
11:36Susie and Ardal?
11:38Yeah, it wasn't that easy, but we did manage to find a bit of a countdown.
11:41Eight, we haven't had for a while.
11:43E-mail. P-R-O-E-M-I-A-L.
11:46And the proeme of a book is the preamble, so it's relating to the preamble.
11:50There you go. Disappointed in you, O'Hanlon?
11:52I'm disappointed in myself.
11:54As long as you are, that's the main thing.
11:56In fact, I'm inconsolable.
11:59A big eight, if you got that at home.
12:01Sure, a lot of Countdown fanatics might have picked up on that.
12:0428-13.
12:06I always love when it's the Challengers' first numbers round
12:09to see what way you're going to play it. Let's find out.
12:12I'm going to do one big and five little for now.
12:14Right. No gamble just yet, but the contest is young.
12:17Let's have a look at what we have here.
12:19Five little ones are...
12:26..three, and the big one, 50.
12:28And the target...
12:32747. Take off.
12:42MUSIC PLAYS
13:05747. Joe?
13:07747. Good. And Mike?
13:09747. Yeah, right.
13:10I'm going to play it safe, Joe. Let's see if we can get you ten points.
13:13Ten plus five...
13:1415.
13:1515 times 50...
13:17750.
13:18..minus the three.
13:19Straightforward. Well done.
13:21And yourself, Mike?
13:22I'm going to do the same. Yeah.
13:24Well done.
13:28You can make an entire documentary
13:30out of Ardal O'Hanlon trying to do the numbers.
13:32I love it. I just stare at you.
13:34And what I love is that every single one you have a proper crack at.
13:38Yeah. Yeah. You drew a point.
13:40Listen, I want to talk to you about heat today.
13:42Oh, yeah. People don't see this.
13:44You know, it's the bits you don't see, the off-air bits.
13:47Constant struggle in Countdown about the heat. Oh, yeah.
13:50Because we've two very different blooded people opposite me here.
13:54So you've got Rachel, who can never be cold enough,
13:58whereas it doesn't matter what it is,
14:00it doesn't matter what time of the year it is,
14:02Susie always has a hot water bottle.
14:04You can't make her warm enough.
14:06So it's really hard to get the temperature.
14:08I can't imagine what death in paradise would have been like.
14:11Yeah, no, it was very hot,
14:12but we had a whole team of people employed to cool us down.
14:16You should get some of those people, Rachel.
14:18So we had industrial fans, we had people with chamois dipped in ice.
14:23We would, between takes, literally between takes,
14:25so every five minutes you would strip down to your smalls
14:29to try and get cool.
14:31I suppose in Father Ted it would have been cold enough.
14:33It was the other extremes. Yeah.
14:35It was really the other extremes.
14:36Like we used to film in winter on the west coast of Ireland,
14:41you know, right in the Atlantic.
14:43I remember there was one episode,
14:46there was a priest called Father Stone who came to stay
14:48and we were playing golf with him on a windswept, rocky landscape.
14:54The nearest tree was about a mile away.
14:57So there was no shelter.
14:58It was minus five, but it being Father Ted,
15:01they brought in extra rain machines.
15:05So we were absolutely freezing and I remember at the end of the day,
15:10it was a very long day's filming,
15:12and we were about 45 minutes from the base
15:14where we would be able to change back into our normal clothes
15:17and I actually did something I've never done before or since,
15:20nor would I recommend it to anybody else,
15:22but I called to a nearby farmhouse and I just said,
15:25excuse me, could I have a bath?
15:27I'm doing that when I leave the Countdown studio.
15:29I don't think it was me.
15:30Like they didn't know me as Arlo Hanlon,
15:32I think they just saw the priest gear.
15:36Brilliant. Thank you.
15:41Wonderful. Right, it's 38 plays 23.
15:44Let's get some more letters now.
15:46Our champion, Mike Toms, looking for a second win.
15:48Consonant, please, Rachel.

16:52That's time, Mike. What have you got?
16:54Eight.
16:55Well done. And Jo?
16:56Eight.
16:57What's the eight, Jo?
16:58It's one of those straight forward rounds, Mike.
17:00It might be the same.
17:01Fantastic.
17:05It's one of those straight forward rounds,
17:07cos you're not going to add the Z to give me a nine,
17:09so we're all good.
17:10No, but I'm going to refer to Susie for this one.
17:12Zounds.
17:13Oh, yeah.
17:14Z-O-U-N-D-S.
17:15Yes.
17:16Which you will explain what it means,
17:18cos I've seen your little clips on swear words.
17:21Oh, the history of swearing?
17:23Yes.
17:24So this is a big euphemism in the Middle Ages,
17:26which was an exclamation of indignation or whatever.
17:28It's short for God's wounds.
17:30Yeah, the wounds from the nails on the cross.
17:32Wonderful. Great stuff. That's what I love.
17:34Not just the longest word, it's always just...
17:36Well, I think you get extra points for using the Z, surely.
17:38Always, yes. 100 points for you.
17:40Well done.
17:41Jo, nine more letters.

18:55It's unlearn.
18:56Unlearn, and the eight not written down?
18:58It's unlearn, but I miscounted.
19:00Oh!

19:03Sorry.
19:04It's always a lesson.
19:05Yeah.

19:09Yeah?
19:10Very nice.
19:11Anything else?
19:12Unreal also there, but yes, to unlearn.
19:14To unlearn a bad habit.
19:15There you go.
19:16Nothing else needs to be said as we get more numbers from Mike.
19:19OK, you could have two from the top and four little ones.
19:22You can indeed. Thank you, Mike.
19:24Two large, four little coming up.
19:26And these four little ones are seven, five, seven, five.
19:32And the big ones, 50 and 75.

20:18OK, five times 75.
20:20375.

24:19Drake's. As in ducks and drakes.
24:21Anything else, Suze?
24:22No, I was hoping for goaders, people who goad you on, but not there.
24:25OK.
24:26Four rounds left, which means it's time to sit back,
24:29chill out, grab a cup of tea if you've got it
24:31and listen to our origins of words for today. Suze?
24:34I want to talk about colours today,
24:36because I will mention carmine.
24:39I think it was yesterday, or on a recent show,
24:41carmine, a really sort of bright crimson colour.
24:44But here are some words for some quite uncommon colours
24:47and where they come from.
24:49I'm going to start with vermilion,
24:51because we often associate strong colours with paintings.
24:55So we have Titian, for example,
24:57which is this beautiful bright golden auburn colour.
25:00And vermilion is also associated with an artist,
25:03and this one is Goya.
25:05In fact, he was so fond of this colour
25:07that it also became known as vermilion and Goya at the same time.
25:12So it's a really strong red,
25:14and it traces back to the Latin vermiculus,
25:18which meant the sort of dried bodies of insects
25:22that were used to produce the ancient red dye,
25:25much as purple came from the porphyra, these mollusks,
25:28that again produced a very special and very expensive dye,
25:32which is why purple was used for the emperor's robes
25:35in ancient Rome and ancient Greece.
25:37So that's vermilion.
25:39Then we have peuce.
25:41I think peuce, in terms of the colour,
25:43has been replaced slightly by gammon in modern context,
25:46although obviously that has a whole load of other associations.
25:49But peuce means very, very red,
25:51and it comes from the French meaning flea,
25:53and it's almost certainly due to the fact
25:55that the flea is hungry for blood,
25:57so it's like the sort of blood rushes to your face.
26:00So that's where that one comes from,
26:02and possibly my favourite, damask.
26:04We tend to think of damask as being a material.
26:07It's a greyish red, really,
26:09but I love it because it comes from the damask rose,
26:12and that was a flower that travelled to Europe
26:14during the Middle Ages and was thought to be incredibly exotic.
26:17Brilliant. Thank you.
26:22Origins of words out of the way,
26:24and that means we're in the business end of today's Countdown.
26:27Mike has 76, Jo has 47, so a big round this.

27:55Nuttier for seven.
27:57And don't give me that look, Arnold. What have you got?
28:00Seven.
28:02Truth.
28:04You need two U's for that, otherwise that wouldn't be brilliant.
28:07I definitely saw two U's there. I looked about five times.
28:10No matter how many times you play this game, it's infuriating.
28:13What have you got?
28:15Just one more seven for you. Inherit.
28:17There you go.

29:24How do you get on, Jo? Another six.
29:26Good. And Mike? A six.
29:29Batten.
29:31Batten down the hatches.
29:33And Jo?
29:35Butty.
29:37And butty. Beautiful word.
29:39Now we're all starving at this time of the day.
29:41Thanks for that, Jo.
29:43Yeah, butty and batten.
29:45What else have you got?
29:47Not unlike a butty, a patty.
29:49Nice. Or bitten.
29:51Right, they're all connected.
29:53Bitten, butty, patty.
29:55Sorry, I'm going to lose the thread here.
29:57Batten as well. Batten's a type of bread.
29:59So there you go. OK.
30:01Can you eat petunias?
30:03You can if you're drunk. OK.
30:05Petunias are there for seven,
30:07and maybe if you did eat them, you might end up a patient.
30:09That's there for seven as well.
30:11OK, brilliant. Last numbers now.
30:13And, Jo, pressure's off.
30:15Pick whatever you want. You're going to have six big ones.
30:17We haven't got six big ones.
30:19I know, but who cares?
30:21I think I'll just do one big.
30:23Yeah, it's safe. Just to ignore Colin
30:25and just go one big, five little.
30:27Thank you, Jo. Final numbers of the day
30:29are seven,
30:31ten, eight,
30:33eight,
30:35four, and the large one, 50.
30:37And the target,
30:39282.
30:41Two last numbers.
30:55MUSIC PLAYS
31:13200, nearly two. Jo?
31:15No, 281.
31:17One away. Mike? 281.
31:19Yeah. OK, Jo?
31:21Four times 50.
31:23Eight times ten. 80.
31:25And the eight minus the seven.
31:27Four, one away.
31:29Very good. And Mike?
31:31I did four times seven.
31:33Four, seven's 28.
31:35Times ten. Times ten, 280.
31:37And then I went eight over eight for the one.
31:39Yep. And that did it.
31:41There's another way. Four, one away.
31:43One word for this. Annoying. You know when it looks...
31:45You've got to be able to get it easy.
31:47You've got the eight there, wonderful,
31:49and then it just is annoying. OK.
31:51Do you want to be put out of your misery?
31:53Absolutely, as soon as possible.
31:55One way. You can say eight plus seven, 15.
31:57Take away ten is five.
31:59Times it by 50 for 250.
32:01And then the second eight times four is 32.
32:03And add them together for 282.
32:05Very good. Very good.
32:07APPLAUSE
32:11OK, Mike's on 96.
32:13Jo with a very, very respectable 60, by the way,
32:15for a challenger.
32:17But, Mike, you didn't get a century in your first win,
32:19so there's pressure on you to try and break that barrier.
