00:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:36There's a Frenchman knocking about who's got high hopes.
00:39He's launching a machine called Short Edition.
00:43Now, what this is all about, Rachel, apparently, is that, you know,
00:46we're all stuck in the doctor's waiting room or the dentist
00:49or sitting on a bench in the station waiting for a train or something.
00:52Now, these machines, apparently, what you do if you've got a bit of time,
00:55you're bored, you put a penny in or whatever it is
00:58and it spits out a random short story or a poem
01:03to gobble up the time that you have to spare.
01:07I thought to myself, well, thanks, but I've got a phone.
01:11I'm never alone.
01:13Do you think he's got any hope?
01:15You could imagine him going into the Dragon's Den
01:17and being absolutely ripped apart, couldn't you?
01:19First of all, you've got to get a machine plugged in somewhere with paper
01:22and then you've got to get someone who actually wants to put money in
01:25for the people to get royalties and have something physical.
01:28When, you know, in a doctor's waiting room,
01:30you've got newspapers struggling to stay in print
01:33because people aren't buying them anymore because everyone's got a phone.
01:36Exactly.
01:37So, I'm out.
01:39I think, as you say, we're out.
01:42Yes, I'm not investing, I'm afraid.
01:44Sorry.
01:45Now, Rachel, Doug is back.
01:47Four good wins, three over 100, well done.
01:50From Guernsey down there in the South, a beautiful island
01:53sitting between England and France.
01:55That's right.
01:56You're joined by Simon Clayton, who's also an islander.
01:59He's as far away as you can get, basically.
02:01Lives in Skye, am I right?
02:03Yes, that's right.
02:04How long have you been there?
02:05I retired there from Kenya in 2016.
02:08OK. And you were doing what in Kenya?
02:11I was running an insurance company there
02:13and working with insurance brokers as well.
02:15You're a Londoner, aren't you? I can tell.
02:17Yes.
02:18London, Kenya, Isle of Skye.
02:20There's a sort of a progression there somewhere,
02:22from very, very busy, not quite as busy, and not busy at all.
02:26And you've got young twins.
02:28Yes, it would be apart from the twins.
02:30We have two-year-old twin boys.
02:32Brilliant.
02:33And, yeah, they are running us ragged, it's fair to say.
02:36Fantastic. Battle of the Islanders, north and south.
02:39Big round of applause for Dougie and Simon.
02:41APPLAUSE
02:44You sound like a happy man, Simon.
02:47You look like a happy man.
02:49Over in the corner is the wonderful Susie Dent,
02:51who's always happy,
02:52and our long-haired lover from Liverpool,
02:55this little Jimmy Osmond.
02:57Welcome back, Jimmy.
02:58Great to be back.
02:59APPLAUSE
03:05Great to see you, a very, very popular guest.
03:08Fantastic.

03:12Good afternoon, Rachel.

04:19Yes, Dougie?
04:21Er, seven.
04:22A seven. Simon?
04:24Seven also.
04:25Dougie?
04:26Blast.
04:27Simon?
04:28Dallies.
04:29Don't dilly-dally on the way.
04:31Very nice.
04:32Jimmy and Susie?
04:34I did terrible.
04:35Glade.
04:36Glade.
04:37Glade.
04:38That's pretty. You can put the S on.
04:40Glades. I did glade.
04:41There you go.
04:42LAUGHTER
04:43You're just teasing us, Jimmy.
04:45Yes.
04:46And Susie?
04:47There is a beautiful eight there.
04:49It comes from French.
04:51And can you turn from ballet,
04:53but also if you're walking on snow or ice,
04:56it's a glissade.
04:57Yeah.
04:58G-L-I-S-S-A-D-E.
04:59A way of sliding down a steep slope of snow or ice,
05:02often with the support of an ice axe.
05:06APPLAUSE
05:10Seven points each.
05:11Now then, Simon, let us go.
05:13Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:14Good afternoon, Simon.
05:15Have a consonant, please.
05:17Start with K.
05:19And another.
05:21S.
05:22And another.
05:25R.
05:26A vowel, please.

05:32And another.
05:34O.
05:36And one more vowel, please.
05:38E.
05:40A consonant.
05:42S.
05:44And another consonant.
05:46And lastly, B.
05:48Don't buy it.
06:17Simon.

06:19And, Dougie?
06:20Seven also.
06:21Simon.
06:22Buskers.
06:23And Sirius.
06:25Mm-hm.
06:26Very good, both.
06:27What do you reckon, Jimmy?
06:28Sirius I had as well, but what did you have, Susie?
06:31Um, bruises are there.
06:33I like that.
06:34But I like buskers, just looking to see where it came from.
06:37It used to be a nautical term for tacking or cruising about,
06:40and then the idea, if you go about selling things,
06:43and ultimately music, I guess.
06:46All right.
06:4714 apiece.
06:48Dougie?
06:49Numbers game.
06:50I'll have four from the top and two small ones, please.
06:53Going through every selection possible.
06:55Thank you, Dougie.
06:56Four large and two little.
06:58And they are eight, five, and then the big ones.
07:0250, 75, 100, and 25.
07:06And the target, 842.
07:09842.
07:11842.
07:42Well, Dougie?
07:44No, just 845.
07:46845.
07:48Simon?
07:49842.
07:50Thank you, Simon.
07:51Eight times 100.
07:53Eight times 100, 800.
07:55Plus 50.
07:56850.
07:57Minus five.
07:59845.
08:0075 divided by 25 is another three to take away.
08:03It is indeed. Well done, 842.
08:05Yeah, very good.
08:06APPLAUSE
08:11Gives you a ten-point lead, too, Simon.
08:13Excellent.
08:14Tea time teaser time.
08:15What is it?
08:16It's Iris soaps.
08:18And the clue.
08:19Iris soaps her skin very delicately.
08:21She's got an issue with it.
08:23Iris soaps her skin very delicately.
08:26She's got an issue with it.
08:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
08:42Welcome back. I left with the clue.
08:44Iris soaps her skin very delicately.
08:46She's got an issue with it.
08:48Our lady's got a touch of psoriasis.
08:51Psoriasis.
08:53So, 14 to 24, Dougie.
08:56Simon, your letters go.

09:20And a consonant?
09:22X.
09:25And a vowel?
09:28E.
09:29And a final consonant, please.

09:33Stand by.
09:42CLOCK TICKS
10:06Simon?
10:07No. Got it wrong, sorry.
10:09Dougie?
10:10No, just six.
10:11And that six would be?
10:13Steamy.
10:14Steamy?
10:15Yes.
10:16Jimmy?
10:17Mousy.
10:18But I have to admit, she helped me.
10:20She helped me with the mousy.
10:22With the mousy.
10:23You can spell it with an E or without,
10:25so if you spell it with, it will get you to a six.
10:27All right.
10:28Dougie, four points behind.
10:30Dougie, now's your chance. Letters again.
10:32Consonant, please, Rachel.
10:34Thank you, Dougie.
10:35B.
10:36And another?

11:02And a final... M.
11:06And the clock starts now.
11:08CLOCK TICKS

11:41A six. Simon?
11:42Six also.
11:43Yes?
11:44Booted.
11:45Booted and...?
11:46Mooted.
11:47And mooted, indeed.
11:48Yes.
11:49Now, any other words without the double O?
11:51Bottomed.
11:52Yes.
11:53You might think about a copper-bottomed promise, for example,
11:56or a market bottoming out.
11:58You've bottomed out, yeah.
11:59So that will give you an eight.
12:01Eight.
12:02Very good.
12:03And there's also mottoed for seven.
12:05Thanks, Susie.
12:06All right.
12:07A six.
12:08Dougie on 26.
12:09Simon, your numbers game now.
12:11Hello, Rachel.
12:12Can I have one large one and five small ones, please?
12:14You can, indeed. Thank you, Simon.
12:16One big five little coming up.
12:18And these five small ones are nine, two, one, five, two,
12:24and the big one, 75.
12:26And the target, 307.
12:28307.
12:30CLOCK TICKS
12:38CLOCK TICKS
13:01Well, Simon?
13:02307.
13:03Thank you. Dougie?
13:04307.
13:05Thanks.
13:07Five minus one is four.
13:09Yep.
13:10Four times 75.
13:11300.
13:12Minus nine, minus two.
13:14Sorry, plus nine, minus two.
13:16Know what you meant. 307, lovely.
13:18I'm sorry.
13:19Well done. Now then, Dougie.
13:21I did nine minus one is eight.
13:24Nine minus one, eight.
13:25Divided by two is four.
13:26Yep.
13:27Times 75.
13:28Again, 300.
13:29And then add on the rest.
13:30A five and the other two, lovely.
13:32Well done.
13:33Very good.
13:34APPLAUSE
13:36Excellent.
13:37Two good players. 36 plays.
13:3940. Simon on 40.
13:41As we turn to...
13:42Jimmy.
13:43Hey.
13:44Cartoons.
13:45Caricatures, even.
13:46But cartoons.
13:47I've been found out, haven't I?
13:49What's all this about?
13:50Well, it's just a hobby of mine, you know.
13:52In our business, there's a lot of hurry up and wait.
13:54And when I was a little boy,
13:56there was a Bobby when I was over here,
13:58and I was so bored, and he was with me,
14:01and he drew half of a Bobby character.
14:04And it just inspired me, you know.
14:06So it's kind of been a hobby, whether I've been in the jungle
14:09or I've been here drawing Simon.
14:12Or actually, I brought you a cartoon.
14:16I did a little caricature on the airplane of you three.
14:19You want to see it?
14:21Excellent, yeah.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Oh, very good.
14:24Look at that.
14:25Excellent.
14:27But it's been a fun hobby, you know.
14:29I used to have a little cartoon strip in Japan years ago
14:32called Jimmy and Noodles, which was Noodles the Cat.
14:35And it's just been kind of something fun I do when I go on shows
14:38and different things.
14:39That's a great thing.
14:40Hopefully I don't offend anybody.
14:42Not at all.
14:43With caricatures.
14:44You know, because caricatures can get you in a lot of trouble,
14:46especially with ladies, you know.
14:48You don't think that people are sort of, you know, charmed to have them?
14:52Sometimes.
14:53Again, I've had most people, you know, happy with them.
14:55But I was on this food show once.
14:58And I did caricatures of each one of the contestants.
15:01And there was this one lady that was very proper,
15:03and she was quite offended.
15:05Oh, really?
15:06Yeah, so you have to be kind of careful.
15:08Over here, and I don't know whether you read the Sunday papers,
15:11there are some great, great, great cartoonists.
15:14And my word, are they cruel.
15:16Yeah, they can be very cruel.
15:17Pretty dark, I think.
15:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:19Good for you.
15:20Well, thanks for our cartoon.
15:22APPLAUSE
15:26Thank you, Jimmy.
15:28So, 40 plays 36.
15:29Dougie on 36. Where are we?
15:31Dougie, it's your letters game.

15:34Thank you, Dougie.

16:38Dougie.
16:39Seven.
16:40Simon.
16:41Five.
16:42And a five. Your five.
16:44Purge.
16:45And?
16:46Approve.
16:47Yeah, very good.
16:48I was working on it.
16:50Popper.
16:51Popper?
16:52Popper.
16:53And Susie?
16:54Popper's good. Six, vapour for six.
16:56A gapper, student on their gap year.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Approve was the one seven we had.
17:00Well done.
17:0143-43, three points in it.
17:03Simon.
17:04A consonant, please.
17:06Thank you, Simon.

17:23Another?
17:25E
17:26A consonant?
17:28T
17:29Another?
17:31N
17:33And a final consonant, please.
17:36And a final S.
17:38And here's the Countdown Clock.
17:40CLOCK TICKS
17:48CLOCK TICKS
18:10Simon?
18:11A risky seven.
18:12Dougie?
18:13Eight.
18:14Eight. Simon?
18:15Solence.
18:16Solence.
18:17Dougie?
18:18N closes.
18:19N closes is yes, really good to get that for eight.
18:22The solent, the channel, is the capital S.
18:25Also not sure we can put the S at the end.
18:28So we no can do on that one, I'm afraid.
18:30Afraid not.
18:31And that gifts Dougie a lead of 11 points.
18:34Now, Jimmy?
18:35Toneless.
18:37Susie?
18:38Yeah, toneless is excellent. N closes otherwise.
18:40So two very good eights.
18:42All right.
18:43Now, Dougie, numbers game for you.
18:45I'd better go back to one from the top and five from the bottom.
18:48Don't let one time scare you off, Dougie.
18:50Thank you, but for now, one large and five little.
18:52And they are...
18:546, 1, 4, 5, 3 and the large one, 25.
19:00And this target...
19:02537.
19:03537.
19:15BUZZER
19:36Dougie?
19:37536.
19:38One away. And Simon?
19:40540, not written down.
19:42All right, we'll stick with Dougie for the second, then, shall we?
19:45Dougie?
19:46That's what I did. 25 x 4?
19:4825 x 4, 100.
19:50Plus 6?
19:52106.
19:54Plus 1?
19:56107.
19:58Times 5.
20:00And...
20:01Yeah, 535.
20:03I've used the 1 twice.
20:04You have, I'm afraid.
20:05And Simon, therefore?
20:07Sorry, I got the calculation wrong.
20:09So we turn to Rachel. 537?
20:11It was there, if you say 6 plus 1 is 7,
20:15times 25 is 175,
20:18plus 4, 4, 1, 7, 9,
20:21and times it by 3.
20:23Well done.
20:25APPLAUSE
20:30So, 51 plays Simon's 40 as we turn to our second tea time teaser,
20:34which is Alto Brian and the clue.
20:36Brian had an alto voice, but Mr White's was much deeper.
20:42APPLAUSE
20:51Welcome back.
20:52I left you with the clue, Brian had an alto voice,
20:54but Mr White's was much deeper,
20:56because it was baritonal.
20:59Baritonal.
21:0151 to 40.
21:03Brian had an alto voice, but Mr White's was much deeper,
21:07because it was baritonal.
21:09Baritonal.
21:1151 to 40.
21:13Doug in the lead.
21:14Simon, now, don't let him get away.
21:16A consonant, please.
21:18Thank you, Simon.

22:27Yes, Simon.
22:28Inhale.
22:29Both inhaling deeply.
22:31Jimmy.
22:32I had lone, but that was...
22:34Lone.
22:35Yeah.
22:36OK, Susie.
22:37Really tough, that one.
22:39Inhale, the only six we could find.
22:41Otherwise, down to fives with henna,
22:43halon, a gaseous compound that's known to damage the ozone layer.
22:48But it was a really tricky one, that.
22:5257 to 46.
22:53Dougie.
22:54A consonant, please, Rachel.
22:56Thank you, Dougie.

23:57BUZZER
24:03Dougie.
24:04A six.
24:05A six, Simon.
24:06Five.
24:07And that five?
24:08Harine.
24:09Harine.
24:10No, Dougie.
24:11Harmer.
24:12I had harmer written down as well.
24:14Is there a self-harmer but not harmer on its own?
24:17Which is really bad luck, Dougie, I'm sorry.
24:19That's a bit of a blow, actually.
24:20Yeah.
24:21Bit of a blow.
24:22What can we have, Jimmy?
24:23Nothing.
24:24LAUGHTER
24:25Or something.
24:26Absolutely zero.
24:27What about your compadre, then?
24:30Down to five, otherwise.
24:31Harine, yes.
24:32Mara, which is a sort of friend or companion in dialect,
24:35but another really tough one.
24:37Thank you very much.
24:38We've done, Simon, no end of good.
24:40Only six points in at 57 to 51.
24:43And, Susie, whilst they have a little rest,
24:47we turn to you for your origins of words.
24:50A treat for us. What have you got for us?
24:52Well, I had a lovely email in, Nick, from Glyn Hall,
24:55who asks, where does the word fortnight come from?
24:58Well, English had many, many really poetic,
25:02quite beautiful markers of time, once upon a time,
25:05and fortnight is one of them.
25:07First recorded in the 11th century,
25:09so we're going back to Anglo-Saxon Britain.
25:12And it's simply a shortening of 14 nights.
25:15So quite self-explanatory, quite simple,
25:17but a fortnight is just such a beautifully pithy way of expressing it.
25:21And at the same time, in fact, they had senite,
25:23which was a week.
25:25So you talk about doing something this senite,
25:27and that was a shortening of seven nights.
25:29But very sadly, seven nights has disappeared.
25:31Senite has disappeared, rather.
25:33But fortnight has remained.
25:35But other designators of time
25:37that I think were far more expressive than our modern equivalents,
25:40and I really wish we could bring these back,
25:42include yestreen for last night, which I think is beautiful,
25:46yestermorn for yesterday morning, and overmorrow.
25:51Overmorrow is surely calling out to be brought back,
25:53and that is simply the day after tomorrow, the overmorrow.
25:56And there are lots of other words
25:58where the duration of time lies slightly more hidden
26:00within the English words that we use.
26:02So procrastinate, famously,
26:04it's got crass in it, C-R-A-S, which in Latin means tomorrow.
26:08So to procrastinate literally is to put something off until tomorrow.
26:12To perendinate, in case you need it,
26:14is to put something off until the day after tomorrow,
26:16which is probably much more useful.
26:18Journey comes from the French journée, a day,
26:21because a journey was once one day's travel.
26:24A journal was a record of the day's events.
26:27Dismal, one of my favourite etymologies which I talk about sometimes,
26:31dismal comes from dies mali, bad days.
26:35And these were two days of each month
26:37that were designated to be really unlucky in the Roman calendar.
26:40It was based on the calculations of Egyptian astrologers.
26:43But on those days, you would be very, very foolhardy
26:46to arrange anything important on a dismal day.
26:49And finally, matinee.
26:51Matinee, we talk about going to an afternoon's performance now,
26:54but that goes back to the French matin, morning,
26:56because many theatrical performances actually took place before noon.
27:00Excellent. Wonderful.
27:02APPLAUSE
27:07Now, 57 to 51, Dougie on 57.

30:08Yeah, that's something. Absolutely fine, yes.
30:10Jimmy?

30:15Nudge? Mm-hm.
30:17Nudge Susie, what's she got?
30:19Erm... Come on.

30:28So, 58 to 71, and it's the final numbers game.
30:31Simon, Simon Clayton.
30:33Can I have one from the top, please, Rachel, and five others?
30:36You can. You're not going to gamble? 13 points in it? Nope.
30:39Sticking with one from the top and five little.

32:04MUSIC PLAYS
32:34Foxed! That's a surprise.
32:36Foxed up here. Who in the audience will have a crack at this one?
32:40I see hands. I see hands. Madam?
32:43Margarita.
32:45Let's see whether you're right.
32:47There we are. She loves a margarita.
32:49APPLAUSE
32:53Well done. Well done.
32:55So, Simon, the South takes it today.
32:59Indeed. You had a great start.
33:01And actually, I think it was just two games that went down
33:05that cost you that, because you were leading for quite a long way.
33:08So, well done. Well done to you.
33:11Thank you. That's very good. That's five wins.
33:14But hold on a minute, because we've got to say cheerio to Simon,
33:17who's got to clamber all the way back to Sky, which is a long drive, isn't it?
33:21Nine hours, you're telling me. Yes, indeed.
33:23Brilliant stuff. What about your twins? Are they watching?
33:27They're back at the hotel, so they'll have wrecked it by now.
33:30They will have done. Can you give them a wave? What are they called?
33:33Travers and Talbot. Brilliant. Give them a wave, then. Go on.
33:36There we are. There's Daddy for you.
33:38All right. Thank you so much. Thank you.
33:40There's a goodie bag, and you have a great drive back with the family.
33:43Thanks a lot. Great show there.
33:45Five wins. Have a restful time. We'll see you next time.
33:49It was a bit close, wasn't it? It certainly was.
33:52All right. So, see you next time, Jimmy.
33:54Thanks so much, indeed, for coming, and Susie, too, of course.
33:56See you both then. See you then. All right. Thank you.
33:58And, Madam? I can redeem myself. Yes?
34:01Actually, if you say 75 minus 9 is 66,
34:058 plus 7 minus 1 is 14,
34:08times them together, hopefully you get 924,
34:11and you have 2 left over. 922.
34:13Superb. Thank you, Rachel. Well done.
34:18Never foxed. All right.
