00:30Hello everybody. Welcome to Countdown this afternoon. Thank you so, so much for tuning in. We always appreciate it. And in fact, the connection between you and us is as close-knit now as it ever has been, quite literally, Rachel. And I have saved a whopper, a whopper from Henrietta for today.

00:51I see what you did there. Shall we go through it? Last time you wore a jumper, I made you stand up. Today, I'm going to make you stand up and I'm going to make you 12.

00:58Now, this is the best, but can we just have a close-up here? That is just perfect. Look at Rachel. You've got the beard perfect Henrietta.

01:06You can't really see that on TV with all the makeup, but that's exactly what it's like. And I think Susie nailed this one. Look, she looks like Beryl the Peril.

01:15I do. From Beano. You got me bang right. That is literally the spit of me. We love this, but you're right. And this is for Susie.

01:24Yeah. Have a look at the back of this one. Isn't that stunning?

01:27Aw.

01:28We've got leotard, ailerons.

01:30Adipose and dacoit.

01:31Amazing, all the countdown words. Brilliant. Henrietta is a proper countdown fan, picking those words out. You know that the letter that she sent started with an apology for any imperfections in the jumper. Henrietta, are you kidding?

01:44Mm-hmm. This is absolutely blowing us away. So thank you so much for this. Yeah. Second did. Second did. And it was the nicest letter as well anyone's ever written. So thank you for watching and thank you for knitting that beauty. I love it.

01:56Yeah. Really, really good. Thank you so much, Henrietta. Okay. Over the dictionary corner then, you might recognise the lady from My Jumper. There she is.

02:05Our G of the D, Susie Dent. Not a dropped stitch when it comes to words and a real pearl alongside you. It's the one and only Whisper and Bob Harris.

02:17And what do they say, a stitch in time saves?

02:20Nine.

02:21Nine. That's what our two contestants are looking for today. Adrian and Harry.

02:26Both huge wrestling fans randomly on the show at one time. Adrian, champion, going for a fourth win. Is it a sort of temporary obsession or is it a lifetime one?

02:36I've always enjoyed it, actually. Yeah, yeah. Since when I was a child. Kind of fell out of it for a while. But yeah, it's great fun. It's like a big pantomime to watch, really.

02:45So I find it great, yeah, enormous entertainment.

02:48Got a favourite wrestler?

02:49I think it's got to be Macho Man Randy Savage.

02:51Perfect for you, Adrian. Absolutely perfect for you. You're up against Harry Bain. Harry Bain's from Perth in Scotland and wrestling pretty much is your life. Tell me about it.

03:00I'm so obsessed that I've got tattoos all over my body to correspond. All the wrestlers?

03:07Yeah, wrestling logos. I've got portraits of wrestlers on my legs.

03:11Who's your favourite you've ever met?

03:12Er, well, I've met Triple H. Oh, there you go. But I still need to get a tattoo.

03:18Well, listen, Harry, good luck to you today. Good luck to Adrian. Let's play.

03:24See if we can put on a Royal Rumble. Adrian, let's start.

03:27May I have a consonant, please?

04:39A safe five is?

04:41Greet. And Adrian?

04:43Linger. And linger is in there.

04:45We don't need to linger on that over the dictionary corner.

04:48How are you getting on? We've got ringlet for seven.

04:51Very good. And then intergep, a whole number, that's for seven as well.

04:54Nice. Well done. Good start for champion Harry.

06:17Yes.

06:18Yes, Turbine is there.

06:20Tribune is a few sevens to be there.

06:22A few sevens in there.

06:23Good start from a champion.

06:25Long way to go, Harry.

06:26We'll switch to the numbers and, Adrian, you're choosing.

06:29One large and five small, please, Rachel.

06:31Thank you, Adrian.

06:32One from the top row and five from my bottom areas.

06:36And for the first time today, they are eight, ten, nine, six, four,

06:43and the large one, fifty.

06:45And the target, 777.

06:48Seven, seven, seven.

06:51And the same will, both of them.

06:53One, five, four, and five.

06:55And the next one, we have 40 minutes.

06:57得 wind misunderstanding.

06:59And watch.

07:01One more.

07:03All you get that.

07:05No one.

07:07Good morning.

07:09Bye.

07:11Bye.

07:15Bye.

07:177-7-7, the target, Adrian.

07:237-8-2.

07:25Five away. Harry?

07:26No, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I've got a difficult one now,

07:29even with the ten.

07:30So, five away, we'll get you seven points, Adrian.

07:34Here we go.

07:35Nine plus six.

07:37Nine plus six, 15.

07:40Times 50.

07:41Times 50, 750.

07:44Then four times ten.

07:4640.

07:47Take away the eight.

07:48Take away the eight, 32.

07:50And add it.

07:517-8-2.

07:52Five above.

07:55Rachel, did you get to the bottom of it?

07:56I found loads of dead ends, but cheating and standing here,

08:00you can say ten plus six is 16.

08:04Times that by 50 for 800.

08:07And then eight times four is 32.

08:1032 take away nine is 23.

08:12And you can take it off for 8-7-7.

08:13Lovely.

08:14Let's do our first Tea Time Teaser of the day.

08:20I rang milk.

08:22I rang milk.

08:23I rang the milkman and ordered an extra pint for the cat.

08:26I rang the milkman and I ordered an extra pint for the cat.

08:30Grimalkin.

08:43I rang the milkman and ordered an extra pint for the cat.

08:56A Grimalkin.

08:58Pardon my ignorance, Susie.

08:59Yes.

08:59Grimalkin.

09:00Absolutely.

09:00I think T.S. Eliot mentions this, actually.

09:02But, yeah, an old name for a cat.

09:05We're talking 16th century.

09:06And the grey...

09:07The gri is grey.

09:09And the mulkin is a pet form of Matilda.

09:13Listen, at the moment, Adrian's 19-0 up.

09:16But, Harry, not unusual for a challenger to just take a few rounds to settle in.

09:20In fact, more common than not.

09:23So enjoy every round, mate.

09:24Let's get more letters.

09:25Cool.

10:38Harry, what have you got? Poems. Adrian. Pipes. Pipes and poems.

10:43So we had T.S. Eliot, then we inspired poems.

10:46Harry's off the mark. And what else have we got in the dextry corner?

10:49We've got moppies. We have, yes. Unusual, this one.

10:53It's a noun from South African English and a moppy is a street song,

10:57usually of a teasing nature. OK.

12:17I got a three. And a three? Yeah, what's the three?

12:20A run. Yeah. Listen, you put it up there just in case, you know.

12:23Sonar? Sonar, yes.

12:26Very good, yeah. Really good to get a five out of this, I have to say.

12:29No sixes? Definitely. No.

12:31Roars is there as well. Yeah.

12:33Yeah. 29.5. Harry, numbers?

12:36Could I get four large and two small, please?

12:39You can indeed. Does that mean you like the numbers? Yeah.

12:42Yeah, here we go. Let's find ourselves a challenge.

12:45The two little ones are 10 and 9. Could be tricky.

12:4950, 100, 75 and 25. But you are here for tricky.

12:54The target, 949. 949, numbers up.

13:1210 plus 9. Yep, 19.

13:25Times a 50. 950.

13:32You got there. Let's hear it.

13:3410 plus 9. Yep, 19.

13:36Times a 50. 950.

13:3925 out of 75.

13:41It's 100. Over the other 100.

13:43That realisation means Colin probably missed it as well.

13:46One. Take it away. Lovely. Well done.

13:48Well done. Well done.

13:49APPLAUSE

13:52Very good.

13:53Ten points for Adrian on the numbers.

13:55Doing very well indeed.

13:56As we cross over to Dictionary Corner.

13:58You know, with having 51 weeks a year of Countdown,

14:03it means Susie, Rachel and I are not often at home,

14:05we're, you know, on the road again.

14:07It's good to be on the road again.

14:09I find love is making Countdown with my friends.

14:11LAUGHTER

14:14I'd say that because we're both really big Willie Nelson fans

14:17and that's what we're going to talk about today.

14:19Yeah.

14:20He's amazing, Colin, isn't he?

14:22I mean, when you think he was 90 a few weeks ago,

14:27he and Merle Haggard actually made a great song a few years ago

14:32called We'd have taken better care of ourselves

14:35if we'd known we were going to live this long.

14:38LAUGHTER

14:39I just think it's such a great...

14:41But, I mean, in his case, he's the country music equivalent

14:44of Keith Richards, isn't he, let's face it, you know?

14:47Yeah.

14:48He's lived a life, let's put it that way.

14:50But he represents to me so much that's so great about country music.

14:56Mm.

14:57And there was a particular moment some years ago

15:00when I saw him play in Austin, Texas, 1999.

15:05It was quite a small room, tables and chairs,

15:08and a stage at the far end.

15:10And he played for about an hour and a half, two hours,

15:13played all the songs that you love of his.

15:16And at the end of the show, like you do,

15:19I expected everybody to be getting up and leaving.

15:22Not a bit of it.

15:24Everybody gradually got up from their seats

15:26and they formed a queue round the side of the room,

15:31pointing towards the stage.

15:33And about ten minutes later, Willie comes back out,

15:36only this time he's come off the stage

15:38and he comes into the middle of the room,

15:40standing in front of the stage.

15:42And then, one by one, every single member of the audience

15:47went up to him, shook his hand.

15:49I mean, it's a bit early for selfies,

15:51but, I mean, people had cameras and he was signing things.

15:55I mean, I'd never seen really anything quite like that...

15:58That's wonderful. ..before.

15:59You know, I certainly hadn't seen it in rock music,

16:02but his connection with his fans and they...

16:04Honestly, Colin, the expression you can imagine on their faces,

16:07they absolutely loved it.

16:10And he must have been out there for an hour and a half

16:12saying hello to everyone.

16:14You know, I was really so impressed.

16:16Bob, thank you so much.

16:17APPLAUSE

16:21Well, Harry's more half Nelson than Willie Nelson,

16:24but a great story.
