01:00He put a call through to the fire brigade, and they brought one of those big trucks with a ladder.
01:07The fireman is right at the top of the ladder.
01:09He's just reaching for the macaw when it gave him a volley of the foulest language that that fireman had ever heard.
01:18He recoiled, and at which point he got another volley, a fusillade of abuse, and the macaw flapped off and actually flew back through the window.
01:29So there we are.
01:30Imagine that.
01:31I mean, with all the vocabulary that's available to us, and we know from having Susie over there just how big that is, this one was taught bad language.
01:41Well, it's funny when it comes out of the wrong voices, the voices you're not expecting it to, isn't it?
01:45Well, that is exactly what happened to me recently, because my little granddaughter, aged six, a blonde angel, pitched up in front of me.
01:55I said, hello, Clara, how are you?
01:57She said, those blankety-blankety-blank mosquitoes have bitten my bum to bits of these boys who turned around and walled off.
02:07I won't fill in the blankety-blank bits, but out of the mouths of children.
02:11What about you?
02:12Have you had any...
02:13My cousin said about...
02:14He came upstairs to see his two- or three-year-old playing with his baby brother and told him to get off my blimmin' train set.
02:22Yeah.
02:23And when there are two or three coming up with things like that, it's cute.
02:26Where do they get it from?
02:28Yes, I think he looked at his wife at that stage.
02:31All right.
02:32All right.
02:32Now, Rachel, we've got Andrew back.
02:35Young Andrew Jackson from Mackeel University, studying maths, did very well.
02:39Four wins.
02:40Yep.
02:41Floated through effortlessly.
02:42Well done indeed.
02:43Good for you.
02:44Now, you're joined by another young man here, Lewis Edgley, an A-level student from Cambridge, a keen video gamer, and you play Fortnite.
02:52What is Fortnite?
02:53Sorry, I don't know.
02:54Everybody else knows, but I don't know.
02:55What is it?
02:56So, it's a game where you can play by yourself if you want to, and it's you against 99 other people.
03:02Right.
03:02And you've just got to be the last person alive.
03:05It's extraordinary, isn't it?
03:06It is.
03:06See, I played with Meccano when I was a kid.
03:10It smelt faintly of oil.
03:13And this is how the fighter pilots train, isn't it?
03:15Using these sort of things.
03:17Simulators.
03:17Simulators, yeah.
03:18Yeah.
03:18Amazing.
03:19Anyway, there are no simulators here.
03:21This is the real thing.
03:22Good luck to you both.
03:23Have a lot of fun.
03:24Big round of applause for Lewis and Andrew.
03:30And over in the corner, Susie.
03:32Susie joined once again by Jenny Eclair, stand-up comic, author, actress, radio and TV, and a great, great lady.
03:40Another blonde angel.
03:44Another blonde angel.

06:56And then I copied her for the bleeping,

12:04Jenny?
12:04Well, I didn't know it was a natural word, but I'm going to trust Susie, because she's written down measled.
12:10Yes.
12:11To be measled?
12:12Infected with measles.
12:13I was measled last week.
12:17Really?
12:17A measled patient, possibly.
12:20But, yes, not something you want to be, obviously.
12:22Please, God, we're too old for that sort of thing.
12:24Lewis, your numbers game.
12:26Can I have one large and five small, please?
12:29Thank you, Lewis.

13:18No, how about Andrew?
13:202-1-5.
13:21Yes, Andrew?
13:227-4.
13:237-4 is 3.
13:24Times 75.

13:27Then minus the 10.
13:282-1-5, well done.
13:34Well done, well done.
13:36And now we have a little chat with Jenny.
13:39Jenny, what have you got for us today?
13:41Well, I haven't got anything for you.
13:44No presents or anything.
13:46Just my own presents.
13:47I was going to talk about exercise.
13:49Yes.
13:50I have been trying to exercise.
13:52You might not have been able to tell.
13:54But it's difficult for me to exercise because I attempted the Zumba.
13:58You know, the Zumba was very fashionable a couple of years ago.
14:00But I was banned from my Zumba class because I have no coordination at all.
14:05It's amazing.
14:06I'm actually sitting upright on this chair.
14:09And I caused a multi-pile-up of middle-aged women in my Zumba class,
14:14during which a pair of varifocals got broken.
14:17So I started doing online yoga.
14:20Have you tried this?
14:21Oh, it's marvellous for the exercise cheat.
14:24Because she's virtual, your teacher.
14:26You can see her.
14:28She can't see you.
14:29This is the marvellous thing about doing your yoga online.
14:33Because she's going, yay, well done.
14:35Good on you.
14:36Well done, girl.
14:37She's American.
14:38They're very enthusiastic.
14:39And she thinks I'm joining in, doing everything.
14:41I'm not.
14:41I'm sat there on the sofa having a cup of coffee and a small piece of cheese.
14:46So there's my exercise tip for y'all today.
14:50Brilliant.
14:51That's lovely.
14:52It's a pleasure having caused chaos in the Zumba class.
14:58Oh, havoc, carnage in the Zumba.
15:02And you trod on somebody's bifocals, smash that.
15:04No, wait, don't blame me.
15:06I'm not saying it was me that broke the varifocals.
15:08There was a pile-up.
15:10There was a pile-up, Nick.
15:11It could have been anybody.
15:12What, like dominoes for you?
15:13Dominoes.
15:15I'm really beginning to toy with the idea of exercise now.
15:20What do you do?
15:20Two bicycles, neither of which I've ever ridden.
15:23Good.
15:24Good start.
15:25I've started to walk a little bit, which is not much fun, really.
15:29Isn't it boring?
15:30Isn't it boring?
15:31I don't swim.
15:32What's the point of swimming in a swimming pool?
15:35You never get anywhere.
15:36Swimming is good for your head.
15:39You can't be miserable or angry in the swimming pool, unless you're doing butterfly.
15:44Butterfly is the stroke of the very bad-tempered male.
15:47Selfish as well.
15:48Well, I have a problem, because as a boy, I couldn't bear to get water in my eyes.
15:54Right.
15:55So, swimming.
15:57I'm a goggle girl, because, of course, I have the dry eye.
15:59Oh, I could use goggles, I suppose.
16:01Yeah.
16:02But I just think...
16:03You want a goggle and prescription, and then you'll be in there, in the shallow end, because
16:06you're a beginner.
16:07Yeah.
16:07It's a worry, isn't it?
16:10Well, you don't look like a man that doesn't exercise.
16:14That's very sweet of you.
16:15What about yoga, though?
16:16I mean, I'm told, yoga and Pilates...
16:19Yes.
16:20...you don't get exhausted, and it's very good for your upper core, or your middle core.
16:24Yeah, your core.
16:25Just your core.
16:26I've got to do something, though, really.
16:27We've all got to try.
16:29Oh, no.
16:29All right.
16:31Pleasure.
16:31Thank you, Jenny.
16:32Now, then, where are we?
16:34I think we'll turn to Andrew for a letters game, shall we?
16:37Andrew.
16:38Could I start with a consonant, please?
16:39Thank you, Andrew.

17:49Nation.
17:51Yes.
17:51A nation.
17:52I've got a nation.
17:53Can you two get beyond nation?
17:55She can.
17:55I can't.
17:56You can build on nation and have venation, which is all to do with the arrangement of
18:02veins, either in a leaf or an insect's wing, for example.
18:06And there is a seven, which is also botanical, and that's pinnate, and that is of a leaf that
18:12has sort of little leaflets on either side of the stem, so little pairs of leaves.
18:16There we go.
18:17I'm liking those, yes.
18:19Very good.
18:20Yes.
18:20Well done.

24:40Andrew? A seven. A seven. Lewis? Four. And that four is? Five. Okay. Okay, Lewis. Andrew? Stooled? Stooled? I think it's absolutely fine, yes. Yeah, no problem with that at all.
24:58Anything else there? I've got toodles, but I don't know whether it's a real word. It's sort of toodle pip, or to toodle, as in sort of mooch about a bit. Toodling. Susie? Yes, a really good one. Toodles is there simply as an alternative to toodaloo, as in bye, see you soon, etc. So toodles is fine. Well done. Yeah. Anything else? Good seven, and no wolves, otherwise for six. Thank you. All right. And now, Susie, stay with us for your origins of words.
25:27A couple of people asked me this question, actually. One was Bettina, who watches from China. That's impressive. And the other is Peter Mamalock, and they both ask about the British dessert, the fool. Why do we talk about a gooseberry fool, which they think is a bit of a strange one. So I'm going to start at the very beginning and do a little bit of a roundabout tour of the word fool. We have to go back to Latin, as so often, and we find follis, which for the Romans meant
25:57a bellows or a windbag, and soon came to mean somebody who was empty-headed, full of hot air, didn't really know what they were talking about or doing, just as windbag actually means that in English.
26:09Then we have the use of fool, as it became in English, to mean a jester, particularly a court jester. And as we know, they weren't always so foolish. They could get away with telling real truths, as the fool does in King Lear, for example.
26:22But still, there was the idea of somebody who just chatted a lot of empty stuff.
26:28Then, in the 16th century, people became really aware of foolishness, and it's here that a lot of the idiomatic expressions about fools came into play.
26:37So, a fool and his money have soon parted, for example, or there's no fool like an old fool, etc. A lot of this foolishness really came to the fore when it comes to English expression.
26:47Alexander Pope, a couple of centuries later, published the very famous line, Fool's Russian, where angels fear to tread.
26:55Then we have the gold prospectors, who were looking for gold, obviously, and then found iron pyrites that looked just like gold.
27:03It was called fool's gold, because it was bewitching and ultimately fools.
27:08Then we have a fool's cap, the paper size.
27:11That goes back to the 17th century, and probably is named after a watermark that had a fool's cap on it, the traditional jester's cap.
27:20There's a wonderful story that the Civil War Parliament gave orders that the fool's cap should replace the royal arms in the watermark of the paper,
27:26but sadly, we've got no evidence for that at all.
27:29And so we come to the pudding, the question from Bettina and Peter.
27:32It's simply drawing on the idea of something that's trivial, inconsequential, empty, if you like, full of air.
27:40And that's not to, you know, do anything about the pudding, because we know that it's very delicious,
27:45but it's something very light, and we use trifle in exactly the same way,
27:48something very sort of soft, gentle, a little bit inconsequential, and that is why we call it a fool.
27:54Oh, wonderful.
28:00Thanks, Susie.
28:02Thank you indeed.
28:03Now, Lewis, your letters game, penultimate letters game.

29:38But to go with the Piranha, which comes from the Portuguese for toothfish, incidentally, we have a pannier as the sort of basket that you put on. Indeed, yeah. Piranha. That's a cracker.

31:10What have you got there, Jenny?
31:12No, I've spelt something wrong again, so I'm not even going to tell you.
31:15That's wrong, isn't it?
31:18Yes.
31:22Let's leave it there.
31:24Let's leave it there.
31:25All right, then.
31:26I think you were diddled over Harpy.

33:21I tell you what.
33:21Listen, don't you feel bad about it,
33:23because you came under the worst possible situation.

34:03I've got a feeling if Andrew played Lewis,
34:05then Lewis would do the equivalent on Fortnite.
34:07I bet.
