00:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34And I wonder whether you know about the story of the cat,
00:38black cat, unlucky, called Winston.
00:41And he was reunited with his family after 15 years.
00:45Can you imagine? 15 years.
00:47They lost him. Oh, no, Winston's gone. Where's he gone?
00:50And they're nailing posters to trees and telegraph poles
00:54and putting up notices in the village.
00:56Nothing.
00:58And 15 years later, he turned up.
01:01What had happened was, apparently, he got lost somewhere else.
01:04Mm-hm. And he was handed in to the vet,
01:07who sort of put one of those scanners and discovered he had a chip.
01:10And they were able to bring him back.
01:12So there he was. So two people lost him.
01:15First of all, the first owners. Then he went missing for 15 years.
01:18He wasn't alone, was he? Somebody picked him up and looked after him.
01:21No, they should have sent him earlier. Got lost again. Exactly.
01:24Exactly. What about you? Any bad pennies turning up?
01:27No bad pennies. But Rafa, my cat, he's microchipped. He is microchipped.
01:30And he likes to test it out at every opportunity.
01:33They're not allowed out in the neighbourhood
01:35cos they're ragdolls and they're rescues, so they just go in the garden.
01:38But if there was any nook or cranny, he'd find his way out.
01:41So as soon as anyone thought he saw a cat box, he'd go straight in it
01:44cos he knew he'd get loads of cuddles.
01:46So we just go in there, lie down, I get a call from the vet,
01:49we've got your cat here, he's gorgeous, he's upside down,
01:51he's having a lovely time. Can you come and get him?
01:54Well, actually, twice they called me before I noticed he was missing
01:57cos he's just straight in the cat box and straight there and straight home.
02:00Isn't that weird? Just loves to have his tummy stroked.
02:03Just loves people, loves the vet. He's a nutter, that cat.
02:05Amazing. Amazing.
02:07But we lost a cat. It was just a great cat.
02:11It was a great, great cat. He was a lion of a cat.
02:15He was called Fluff, I think, this one.
02:17We've got another one called Tabby and Ada, who's got white hair.
02:21The sooner somebody takes her away, the better,
02:23because everything's covered in white hair. I can't bear it.
02:26Maybe it's yours. My white hair?
02:28No, I don't tend to lie on my head in the sofa, but anyway, there we are.
02:32We need to trade her in.
02:34We're not trading in Dougie Mackay, though. He's having a hell of a run.
02:38Six wins. Bit nerve-wracking last time, Howard.
02:42Very, yes. The skin of my teeth.
02:44Anyway, you're joined by Gary Tanner. Let's see how Gary gets on today.

13:57As we turn to Jimmy.
13:59Jimmy, you always played with the brothers.
14:02But now, at the moment, you're running on your own.
14:05What are you up to?
14:07Well, it was kind of an amazing year.
14:10Last year was just, you know, this arena tour,
14:13which was our final big tour together.
14:15And it was bittersweet because 50 years in showbiz with my brothers.
14:18I love them to pieces, you know.
14:20And I thought maybe that was it for me.
14:22And then I get a call to do Pantomime and I still have my theatre going.
14:26And I've just finished a 50-date tour for my Moon River and Me tour.
14:30And now I'm doing my American Jukebox show,
14:33going back to the 70s music that we all love.
14:3670s was the best year ever, wasn't it?
14:38It was great times.
14:39You know, there was so many great songs, you know.
14:42But you're not taking it easy, are you?
14:44No way.
14:45How many days of the week do you reckon to be working now?
14:47I'm over here about six months a year.
14:50And I am seriously looking at a place over here, if you'll have me.
14:53Sure.
14:56But, no, I love to work, you know.
14:58When I'm at my theatre, you can do two shows a day.
15:01So I'll still do 150 shows a year after all these years.
15:06And it's just remarkable that I can still do what I love.
15:09But I love doing plays.
15:11I love doing cooking shows.
15:13I love doing this show.
15:15And I just like filling my life with as many cool, exciting adventures.
15:20And I think you know me by now.
15:21I'm not afraid of anything.
15:23And even if I look silly,
15:25anything that can just help people forget their troubles for a couple of hours,
15:29even behind the scenes.
15:31I'm just excited to be a part of that.
15:33Well, the sooner you get a base here permanently,
15:36the better for all of us anyway.
15:37Thank you so much.

24:36Don't think we would find it.
24:38So, actually, you played very safe there, Dougie.
24:40And no courted without the U, I'm afraid, Gary.
24:42Sorry. Jimmy?
24:44I've got a good one. Yes?
24:46Rocketed. Rocketed.
24:48Look at that.
24:50APPLAUSE
24:54Brilliant. Rocketed to number one.
24:56Fantastic.
24:59Can't beat that. That's brilliant.
25:01There's cordite as well for seven.
25:03They're smokeless explosive.
25:05Oh, I love the smell of cordite.
25:07Nothing better.
25:0976 plays 43.
25:11Dougie on 76.
25:13Susie, what have you today
25:15in your wonderful origins of words?
25:17One of the surprising things, I think,
25:19about the 21st century
25:21is we've just seen a real rise
25:23in terms that are fairly classist
25:25and almost going right back to feudal times
25:28and the common people as peasants, almost.
25:30So, first of all, we saw chav,
25:32which really exploded onto the scene in 2004.
25:34Lots of people think that's a shortening
25:36of Chatham in Kent.
25:38And it does seem to have originated around there.
25:40But, in fact, we think it's probably a Romany word.
25:42It started off innocently enough,
25:44meaning a small man or a boy.
25:46Then it was a term of affectionate address,
25:48really, for a friend.
25:50It was like mate.
25:52And then just was turned full circle
25:54and turned into something very nasty,
25:56kind of lost its edge a little bit,
25:58but still not very nice.
26:00There's also plebs.
26:02I don't know if you remember pleb gate
26:04a while ago in politics.
26:06Plebs simply goes back to Greek again
26:08for the common people.
26:10But this is the story of riffraff
26:12that actually started off
26:14on the battlefields in France
26:16and people who used to carry off the dead,
26:18but in a not particularly nice way.
26:20There was an expression,
26:22riffraff in French.
26:25And it comes from the verb riffler,
26:27meaning to spoil or to strip
26:29and then raffler, to carry off.
26:31So, in other words, these were people
26:33who didn't just take the dead off the battlefield,
26:35but they plundered them as well
26:37for any valuables that they had on them,
26:39which was pretty horrible.
26:41It came into English via various meanings,
26:43but came to mean somebody
26:45of no special social standing,
26:47so it was fairly neutral.
26:49You find it around 1470
26:51in Chronicles of London.
26:53But then it started to go downhill
26:55and it came to be associated
26:57with the real dregs of society
26:59and perhaps it still had those associations
27:01with the plundering on the battlefields,
27:03people who benefited
27:05from slaughter, really, in a quite horrible way.
27:07So that's riffraff.
27:09And finally, that raffler,
27:11that French word to carry off,
27:13believe it or not, lent its name
27:15to a game played with three dice,
27:17perhaps because the winner carried off
27:19the earnings at the end.
27:22It's a game called The Raffle,
27:24which we play raffles, tombolas,
27:26that sort of thing, at local fairs today.
27:28Well done.
27:30APPLAUSE
27:34So interesting.
27:36Fascinating.

30:25Jimmy, what have you got?
30:27Well, I didn't get it right, but you got it right,
30:29which is pladded.
30:31Pladded. Yes, wearing plaid.
30:33Anything else?
30:35Yeah, there is a zoological term as well,
30:37placoid, P-L-A-C-O-I-D,
30:39which describes fish scales
30:41that are tooth-like in appearance.
30:4391-43.

30:47Gary?
30:49Three large and three small, please, Rachel.
30:51Thank you, Gary. Mix it up. Three big, three little

31:09CLOCK CHIMES

31:43And? And 325. There you go.
31:45Let's get this over with. Gary?
31:47Three times 100 plus 25.
31:49Nothing to argue about there.
31:51And? 75 times three plus 100.
31:53Lovely.
31:55And so, with the score standing at 101,
31:57look at you, Dougie, over 100 again.
31:59Gary, on a good 53, we turn to the final round.
32:02Conundrum time, gentlemen. Fingers on buzzers.
32:05We're rolling today's countdown conundrum.
32:08CLOCK TICKS
32:10CLOCK TICKS
32:12CLOCK TICKS
32:37Well, we're unusually stumped here.
32:40Two good competitors.
32:42Who in the audience will have a shot at this?
32:44I see lots of hands.
32:46Yes, madam?
32:48Oversight.
32:50Let's see whether you're right.
32:52Oversight. Well done.
32:54APPLAUSE
32:56Very good.
32:58Oversight.
33:00So, there we are.
33:02Gary, you played well, but Dougie wins today.
33:05And I think that gives him seven,
33:07so you can understand the sort of, you know,
33:09weighty opponent there, but thank you so much for coming.
33:11It's a good score.
33:13Take this goodie bag back to Bristol
33:15and good luck with the skiffles.
33:17Well done. Travel safely.
33:19Terrific. Seven.
33:21You'd better do this.
33:23We'll see you next time.
33:25Well done indeed.
33:27Oh, Jimmy, what are we going to do?
33:29Invite me back.
33:31For sure.

33:35Great, great guest.
