00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, whether you like flying or not,
00:36I guess many of us gravitate towards the window wide
00:39so that we can look out and see those extraordinary sights
00:42that you can see from on high.
00:45Oceans, mountains, deserts, cities,
00:47and impressive cloud formations too.
00:51I've got to tell you that I read recently
00:53that clouds are made up of tiny water droplets and ice crystals.
00:57Nothing surprising there.
00:59And when full, Rachel, this will stagger you,
01:03some, it's been reported,
01:05could apparently weigh as much as 6,000 blue whales.
01:10I think the research department's been drinking.
01:13What a very strange measurement of weight.
01:16But something to think about.
01:18Now, what's the most interesting view I've ever seen?
01:22And it's an odd one, actually.
01:24It was the desert. I flew over two big deserts.
01:28I was absolutely mesmerised by it.
01:31And I was surprised to be so mesmerised.
01:33Where was that?
01:34One was over the Kazakh desert.
01:36I, in fact, flew over that for hours
01:40in a ropey Russian helicopter,
01:43holding the hand of an attractive woman.
01:47And that actually allowed me to assuage the fear
01:53that would otherwise have overwhelmed me.
01:56So you were more scared than the lady?
01:58She was terrified. I was comforting her.
02:01Oh, right, very manly of you.
02:03I was comforting Saira Khan as we flew over the Kazakh desert.
02:09Wonderful. Now, who have we got?
02:11We've got a very wonderful young woman called Tracy Mills
02:14who saw off a very good player yesterday, Neil Stevenson.
02:20And that was a good contest, really, because you were trailing.
02:24And then you crept up on him, didn't you?
02:26Slowly, yes.
02:27Slowly, but inexorably.
02:29And took the win.
02:30So you're going for back-to-back winners today.
02:32Yep.
02:33But not if Sean Chenery has got anything to do with it.
02:36And Sean is a house sitter and a pet-minder
02:39from Lyme, Regis and Dorset, lovely part of the country.
02:42Cheers. Jurassic coastline.
02:43You used to be in the recording business as an engineer,
02:46in the music business, is that right?
02:48Yep.
02:49And you once upon a time were nominated for a Grammy.
02:52Who was that for?
02:53With Seal.
02:54Oh, yes.
02:55His second album.
02:57Big singer in his day.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Absolutely.
03:00Let's have a big round of applause, then,
03:02for Sean and Tracy Mills.
03:11And over in the corner, on this Thursday, Thursday afternoon,
03:15we have, of course, Susie Dent,
03:17and once again a wonderful Tim Wannacott of Bargain Hunter fame.
03:22Great to have you.
03:23And tomorrow, it's our last day.
03:25But before you go, when we have a great guest,
03:28we make them sign the deal, whereby they'll come back again.
03:31Ooh.
03:32How lovely. Now you're talking my language.
03:34All right. Well done.
03:36All right, now, what shall we do? Tracy?
03:39Letters.

04:57So you're both off, then, off and running, seven points apiece,
05:00but in the corner now, then.
05:02There's atropine as well for Atenic,
05:04which is a poisonous compound found in deadly nightshade and other plants.

06:36Yep. The full gamut.
06:38Yes.
06:39But that's...
06:40Very good.
06:41..a lot.
06:42Yeah, I had imago,
06:43which is the final fully developed stage of an insect's life.

08:11It's not a Bee Gees web page, it's a mineral.
08:15BELL RINGS
08:29Welcome back. I left you with a clue.
08:32It's not a Bee Gees web page, it's a mineral.
08:36It's gibbsite, Susie Dent.
08:39Gibbsite?
08:40Yeah, it's a colourless mineral,
08:42and you'll find it chiefly as a constituent of bauxite,
08:46which is where we get aluminium from.
08:49You're welcome.
08:50Thank you very much indeed. Tracey on 23, Sean seven.

10:06Dorbeast.
10:08Ooh, I don't think we're going to be lucky with this one.
10:12It's not there as an adjective. Sorry, Sean.
10:14Bad luck, but a brave try.
10:16But what have we got in the corner, then?
10:18There's Bastide, a country house in France.
10:21Or a village, even.

11:30Tracey?

11:32A seven. Sean?
11:33Seven.
11:34Tracey?
11:35Chained.
11:36Chained and Cadence?
11:38Cadence?
11:40You need two Cs, Sean, for Cadence.
11:42Sorry.
11:43Oh, bad luck. Bad luck.
11:45Good word, Cadence.
11:46Yes, it is.
11:47Now, what else have we got, Tim?
11:49I'm afraid I'm chained, too.
11:51You're chained?
11:52We're irrevocably linked.
11:54Well done.
11:55And Susie?
11:56There's an echidna, which comes out from time to time.
11:59That's E-C-H-I-D-N-A,
12:01which is an insect-eating mammal...
12:03Yeah.
12:05..that you'll find in Australia.
12:07And there's cyanide, too.
12:09Ah!
12:10Yes.
12:11Our old friend cyanide.
12:12Yes.
12:13Smells of almonds, you know.
12:14Bitter almonds.
12:15All right. 37 plays seven.
12:17And now, Sean, it's your numbers game.
12:19Two large, four small, please.
12:21Thank you, Sean. Two from the top row
12:23and four little ones coming up for you.
12:25And for this round, the small numbers are 1, 3, 6 and 10
12:30and the large two, 50 and 75.
12:33And the target, 633.
12:356-3-3.
13:04MUSIC STOPS
13:08Sean?
13:09I went in, I'm afraid, sorry.
13:11Too far? How about Tracey?
13:126-4-3.
13:136-4-3.
13:1510 plus 3 is 13.
13:1710 plus 3, 13.
13:19Multiply by 50.
13:21Multiply 50, 650.
13:236 plus 1 is 7 and take it off.
13:25Yep, for 10 away. 6-4-3.
13:27Just squeezed in there, Tracey.
13:29But 6-3-3, I'm sure Rachel can improve on that.
13:32Yes, you could have said 50 times 75 is 3,750.
13:38Divided by 6 is 625.
13:41And then 10 minus 3 add 1 is 8 to add on for 6-3-3.
13:46Well done. Perfect.
13:48APPLAUSE
13:50Perfect.
13:51So, Tracey, 42, Sean on 7, but there's plenty of time
13:55as we turn to Tim.
13:56And, Tim, you appeared on Strictly Come Dancing at the end of last year.
14:00How amazing, stroke-exhausting, stroke-terrifying was that?
14:06Well, all of those things in what they call spades, really,
14:10for a non-dancer.
14:12I'm looking at Rach, because did you come from a dancing background?
14:15We were in it together with no dance experience.
14:18Which is a starting point, which is a scary place, I have to say.
14:22And you really work hard.
14:24And, funnily enough, it's not a penance.
14:26Once you're in the thing, you're so happy to be in this bubble
14:30and with this lovely crowd of people,
14:32you really want to work hard for your partner
14:34and you want to work hard, obviously, for yourself.
14:36But, you know, it's just getting towards the next dance.
14:39Can I get to the American Smooth?
14:41Or can I go and do the Paso Doble, or whatever it is?
14:44And it's just an amazing thing.
14:47Some of the beastly judges, of course, aren't that kind.
14:50And when Craig said to me that you dance as if you've got
14:53two soiled nappies on...
14:55I did find that slightly difficult to take.
14:58As an older man, being referred to as a dancer with two soiled nappies
15:02just wasn't the nicest thing.
15:04But once you kind of grip the pantomime piece of it
15:07and aren't offended by such a jibe...
15:11I did say immediately afterwards that was rather below the belt,
15:14which I thought was the correct retort to a nappy jibe.
15:20Anyway.
15:21Of course, I'm heading towards this time when one will have to wear nappies.
15:26LAUGHTER
15:28Here we go.
15:30What a terrible thought.
15:32What?
15:33Only clean ones, please.
15:35Thank you very much, Tim. Thank you so much.
15:38Now, then, where shall we...
15:40Where shall we go now? Tracy, how about letters game?
15:43Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
15:45Thank you, Tracy.
15:46L
15:47Another one.
15:49And another one.
15:51D
15:53Another consonant.

16:03E
16:04A consonant, please.
16:06T
16:07And a final vowel to finish with.
16:09And a final I.

16:51Isolated. Tracy?
16:52Idolatrous.
16:53Absolutely.
16:54APPLAUSE
17:01Is that a little smile you're giving us, Tracy?
17:03It is.
17:04Idolatrous. Fabulous.
17:06And in the corner, anything else?
17:08We could try leotards. Soiled or not.
17:11Oh, dear.
17:13And there's also another nine there. Steroidal.
17:16Steroidal. Thank you, Susie. Well done.
17:18But I think Tracy takes the laurels on that one.
17:21Very good. Sean, letters game.
17:24Can I start with a consonant, please?

19:48So, it's to you, Tracy.
19:5050 plus one is 51.
19:5251.
19:53Nine plus eight is 17.
19:55Yep.

19:57For 867.
19:59And plus the ten.
20:00And 877.
20:01Yep. Two above.
20:03Two above. Can we take two off it somehow?
20:06We can. If you say 50 times nine is 450,
20:11minus eight, four, four, four, two,
20:14times by two, four, eight, eight, four,
20:17and then take the ten and add the one.

20:21Well done.
20:22875. That's the way.
20:24Thank you, Rachel.
20:26So, time for a teatime teaser,
20:29which is Bert's Lot.
20:31And the clue, Bert's Lot had no mental strength whatsoever.
20:35Bert's Lot had no mental strength whatsoever.
20:39APPLAUSE
20:54Welcome back. I left with the clue,
20:56Bert's Lot had no mental strength whatsoever.
20:59Why? Because they were bottlers.
21:02Bottlers? Now, how did bottlers creep into the language?
21:06Did they have no courage?
21:09Walked away from the problem?
21:11Yes, because it's all about bottling it, exactly.
21:14Well, in rhyming slang, Cockney rhyming slang,
21:17bottle was short for your backside,
21:20so it was bottle and glass, and you can fill in the rest.
21:24And that's why the idea of not having any backbone, if you like,
21:28is a little bit lower down.
21:30How interesting. 73 to Sean's 13,
21:32and we'll turn now to Sean for Let Us Go.
21:35A consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Sean.

22:43Thank you. Are you happy there?
22:45Yes, excellent.
22:47All right. And Susie, what have you got? Jim?
22:50Well, I actually got coasters, but on top of secrets,
22:53but that was me down.
22:55Well, you can go one high and get a nine out of that with ostracise.
22:59Oh, very good.
23:01Ostracise.
23:05To be sent to Coventry to be ostracised.
23:09Very good. Now, Tracey, letters for you.

24:26Homier. OK.
24:29Well, we talk about something being homey, which is a synonym for homely.
24:33It is there, yeah. Homier.
24:36Exactly the same as homely. Comfortable and cosy.
24:39Good man. Well done, Sean. Well done. Very good.
24:42So that takes you up to 19 as we turn to Susie
24:46and her wonderful origins of words.
24:50And today, Susie?
24:52Well, I'm staying with wartime.
24:55I've been talking about the vocabulary of war this week.
24:58I'm going to talk a little bit about food
25:01and the food particularly that was available and popular during World War II.
25:05And I've talked a lot on the programme about Spam,
25:08and I mention it often,
25:10thanks to the great Monty Python Flying Circus sketch.
25:14And the fact that it was everywhere
25:17accounts for the fact that we use Spam today for all the junk mail
25:20that sort of washes around cyberspace.
25:22Spam was a blend, of course, of spiced and ham.
25:26It was introduced in 1937 and incredibly popular.
25:30It started off in Austin, Minnesota,
25:32which has been dubbed Spamtown, USA.
25:35And you can probably imagine, thanks to its very long shelf life,
25:38military authorities absolutely loved it.
25:41And it was full of protein as well, tasty or not.
25:44And when it was first introduced to Britain,
25:46it was pronounced to be an oasis in our desert of mediocrity.
25:50And apparently, and I've done a little bit of research into this,
25:53it's one of the most enjoyed foods in South Korea.
25:58And it's actually a bit of a status symbol.
26:00So you can get classic Spam, bacon Spam, mild Spam, garlic Spam.
26:04You can get Spam gift sets, which really made me laugh.
26:07And the slogan goes, if you've got Spam, you've got it all.
26:11LAUGHTER
26:13So, yeah, so it's still there.
26:15But another food heavily promoted by the Ministry of Food
26:18during World War II was the carrot.
26:20And in plentiful supply, thanks to the land armies,
26:23and you can get curried carrots, carrot marmalade and carrot aid,
26:27which was sort of like a carrot juice, but with a bit of fizz, I think.
26:31And the cartoon figure Dr Carrot was invented to encourage kids to eat.
26:36And they even put the rumour around that night-time bombers
26:39were far more successful when they ate carrots,
26:41because they could see in the dark, thanks to the vitamin A.
26:44And finally, lots of innovations with alcohol as well, as you might expect.
26:48And the story goes that the survivor of a bomb blast
26:51asked the barman at London's Berkeley Hotel
26:54for something with a sting to cheer him up a bit.
26:57And he was presented with brandy and creme de menthe,
27:00which was then the Berkeley Stinger, after that, the Berkeley Stinger.
27:04And one to avoid was the US Navy's preparation made from the alcohol
27:09that was used in torpedo motors, and it was called torpedo juice,
27:14but apparently quite popular during the war.
27:16Well, well, well. How extraordinary. Very good.
27:23Of course, people like Tim and I of our sort of age,
27:26always fascinated by the war, you know,
27:28but carrots and seeing in the dark, that was a terribly sort of, you know...
27:33Yeah, it was really.
27:34..well-regarded thing, wasn't it?
27:35It was on trend, wasn't it? Absolutely.
27:37When we were kiddie-wits.
27:38I can remember the advertisement, don't eat ham, eat spam,
27:42where they were trying to actively encourage you
27:44from going from the good stuff to the bad stuff.
27:46Yes, right. Very good. Very good.
27:4981 to 19.

29:08Treason.
29:09Treason.
29:11I've just learned that treason and tradition are linked
29:13because it's all to do with handing over.
29:15So you either hand over somebody, betray them to the authorities,
29:17and traditions are handed down from generation to generation.
29:20Really? And Tim?
29:22How about antlers?
29:23Nice.
29:24Very happy with that.
29:25Yeah.

32:08Did you just add 315?

32:13It's 15. Add it all up.
32:14Yeah. One away.
