This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:20
APPLAUSE
00:32
Hello, and welcome to Countdown.
00:34
On this day in 1975, the film Jaws was released.
00:39
The music, nearly as scary as the countdown clock.
00:45
Yes, it does get people, actually.
00:47
The first time they came on, they said,
00:49
they actually play that in the studio.
00:51
They thought they put it on in post.
00:53
It was quite intimidating, even for them,
00:55
so our contestants do very well.
00:57
They do indeed.
00:59
Guess who's back?
01:01
My long-haired lover from Liverpool.
01:03
LAUGHTER
01:05
Have you missed me?
01:07
Like a hole in the head, Anne.
01:09
Thank you, Stephen!
01:11
LAUGHTER
01:13
We have to clarify that he doesn't actually live
01:16
in Liverpool any more.
01:18
He lives in Skem, which is hundreds of miles away.
01:22
Culturally hundreds of miles away.
01:26
Probably only about 15, isn't it?
01:28
Yeah, about 15, yeah.
01:30
Do you want to take us through the outfit?
01:32
Well, you know, seeing as I've been away for a while,
01:36
12 days is it now?
01:38
Yeah.
01:40
Hopefully it's a bit of a summer vibe,
01:42
festival season and that.
01:44
OK. Did you make the necklace yourself?
01:47
I did indeed, yeah. Yeah, well spotted.
01:49
Yeah? Yeah.
01:51
Someone's Skip offered that up.
01:53
No, they're actually from ring pulls from beer cans.
01:55
Of course they are.
01:57
This is just from today.
01:59
LAUGHTER
02:01
And your opponent today is Andrew.
02:04
Andrew's not had to come very far, have you?
02:06
No, just over the Ship Canal, Anne.
02:08
Over the Ship Canal from Trafford.
02:10
And what do you do, Andrew?
02:12
I'm the leader of Trafford Council.
02:14
That's very scary.
02:16
I'm glad you're here to keep an eye on Stephen.
02:18
I'll do my best.
02:20
How long have you been leader?
02:22
Just coming up to four years.
02:24
And it's a Labour council?
02:26
It is now, so we took control in 2018.
02:28
OK.
02:30
And no time for a proper job?
02:32
I'm teasing you.
02:34
Well, no, no, no, I do this full-time.
02:36
I worked full-time as leader of the opposition,
02:38
but just the council role now.
02:40
What's the most difficult part about being leader of the council?
02:43
Setting the budget. It's so difficult.
02:45
There's so many different priorities,
02:47
and it gets harder and harder each year.
02:49
A round of applause for our contestants.
02:55
And hello again to Robert Rinder.
02:57
Hello again. Do you like Rob or Robert?
03:00
I don't mind. I like the diminutive and the big one.
03:04
And Robert has got two jobs.
03:07
Rob is going to be Rob.
03:09
And Robert is going to be Susie Dent,
03:11
who sadly is off with Covid.
03:13
Oh, no. What a kind thing,
03:15
to be called Susie Dent.
03:17
Isn't it lovely?
03:19
A round of applause for him.
03:24
Let's get on with the game.
03:26

03:28

04:56
Er, no. I, like you, have nutters.
04:59
Both of us are nutters.
05:01
Fair enough, yeah.
05:03
Thank you. Andrew, your letters.

Anything else, Rob?

We have admirals as well, of course.
06:27
Ah, good. Stephen, your numbers.
06:30
Er, a big fishy and five tiddlers, please, Rachel.
06:34
I've missed you, Stephen.
06:36
One big fishy, a whale...
06:38
No, that's not a fish, is it? Let's drop that now.
06:40
Right, some anchovies.

Six plus one is seven. Yeah.
07:34
Multiplied by ten.

07:38
Add that on, plus the nine is 379.
07:40
Well done, 379.

09:53
Stephen? A pinneh.
09:55
Yeah, it's a person who makes pins.
09:57
Forcities!
09:59
Yes. Or you could have had repine.

So you're quite close. Thank you.

11:10
Stephen? Seven.
11:12
Andrew? Six.
11:14
What's your six? Radios.
11:16
Towards... Any eights?
11:18
No eights. I thought there was one.
11:20
There feels like there should be one there.
11:22
Distort. That's as good as we could do.
11:25
Andrew, in the council chamber,
11:28
how difficult is it to make everybody behave properly?
11:34
Well, we've just had to do a new code of conduct, Anne, actually,
11:37
but it can get a little heated at times,
11:39
but generally, behaviour's pretty good.
11:41
Why have you had to do a new code of conduct?
11:43
I think all councils have gone through that process recently,
11:46
but actually, you know, everybody's there to do the best for their area.
11:49
We just disagree about how you do that, really.
11:52
What do you believe in?
11:54
Well, you know, so I would want more investment in our public services,
11:57
more investment in supporting the most vulnerable.
12:00
Others may focus on different priorities,
12:03
so that's the nature of the beast, really.
12:06
Yeah, but in terms of code of conduct, what have you had to rewrite?
12:10
So there's been some additional emphasis on, you know,
12:15
things like how we address each other in meetings,
12:18
so talk through the chair, for instance, you know, address the chair.
12:24
Nicely.
12:26
Appropriately, yes, as we are with you today, Anne.
12:29
Yeah, it would be more fun if you didn't address me nicely.
12:33
What do people say to the chair when they're not addressing the chair nicely?
12:37
Generally, it's just ignoring them that's the problem, you know,
12:40
so people will get up when they've not been called to speak
12:42
or, you know, sometimes lose their tempers
12:45
and not address the mayor at all, so...
12:49
I don't think Rob or I would make good councillors.
12:53
Your numbers.
12:55
Could I have one from the top and any of the five, please, Rachel?
12:58
She's taking you down with her, Rob.
13:00
One large, five and four.
13:02
Thank you, Andrew.
13:04
This round they are eight, ten, three, nine,
13:09
another ten and a large one, 75.
13:12
And the target, 247.
13:14
247.
13:39
MUSIC PLAYS
13:46
Andrew?
13:48
So, 247 not written down.
13:51
Stephen? 248.
13:53
Andrew?
13:55
So, 75 plus eight.
13:57
75 plus eight, 83.
13:59
Sorry, multiplied by three.
14:01
249.
14:03
And then it's ten minus nine equals one.
14:09
Yes.
14:11
Sorry, I've gone wrong.
14:13
Sorry, I think you may have used the number twice, possibly.
14:15
OK, Stephen?
14:17
75 times three.
14:19
75 times three, 225.
14:22
Plus ten, plus ten, plus three.
14:25
Ten, ten, three, one above.
14:27
Lovely.
14:29
Rachel?
14:31
Oh, no! I've just spotted Stephen.
14:33
You've also... Well, you've used your three twice in the solution,
14:37
so, unfortunately, you've both made a little blunder.
14:40
It's the hat.
14:44
Rachel?
14:46
Well, I found a strange way to get there,
14:48
but you could say three times ten is 30,
14:51
add nine for 39, times that by eight for 312,
14:57
and then add the second ten and take the 75.
15:00
247.
15:02
APPLAUSE
15:06
Well done, Rachel.
15:08
Rob, before you studied the law,
15:11
you were at the National Youth Theatre, weren't you?
15:13
I was, I was.
15:15
It was a small problem there, Anne.
15:17
I had very little talent was the difficulty.
15:19
How long did it take you to understand that?
15:23
Well, it wasn't so much at the National Youth Theatre where...
15:26
How old were you?
15:28
All right, guilty, I don't know.
15:30
I mean, I was about 18 when I went to university.
15:34
It wasn't the National Youth Theatre.
15:36
And I thought I'd give it a second go.
15:38
And I went to audition for this part and I thought,
15:41
yeah, I'm not that bad.
15:43
And then the next actor got up and I sat down and I thought,
15:46
yeah, it's either the law or hair and make-up for me
15:49
because this actor was so brilliant.
15:51
It just sounded different, you know.
15:53
And that turned out to be Benedict Cumberbatch,
15:55
so I just gave up.
15:57
That's wonderful.
15:58
What was he performing at the time?
16:00
He was Hildy in the front page.
16:02
Yeah, it's a wonderful part.
16:04
It's a great part, but he was just so great even then, you know.
16:07
And did you become chums?
16:09
Yeah, very good chums, he's a very good person.
16:11
And probably a countdown fan, I would have thought.
16:13
Loves words.
16:14
OK, and you remained chums?
16:16
Mm-hm.
16:17
Yeah.
16:18
Did you go on holiday together?
16:19
No.
16:20
Did you go clubbing together?
16:21
I don't know.
16:22
You see, the difficulty with me, Anna, is I'm not very cool.
16:24
I can't imagine what club I'd go to.
16:26
I'm more like, let's party like it's 1899, I prefer.
16:29
I can't imagine us going to much of a club.
16:32
Has he taken you to the Oscars?
16:34
No, shockingly enough, and I have to say,
16:36
I was desperately aggrieved about this, he took his wife.
16:39
Oh!
16:40
I mean, you know.
16:42
You've known each other quite a few years.
16:44
Yeah, before he was the sexiest man in the world.
16:46
Yeah.
16:47
I tell you.
16:48
Could have been me, Ann.
16:50
It could have been you, or maybe.
16:52
Maybe.
16:53
And what does he think of your career?
16:55
Because you've done a lot of things, to be fair,
16:58
that he hasn't done.
16:59
That's true.
17:00
I think, like all good friends,
17:02
the barometer of good friendship, I think,
17:04
isn't people that you can call in the middle of the night
17:07
that will be there for you.
17:08
Everyone says that.
17:09
But the emergency services will show up for you there.
17:11
It's when something wonderful happens
17:13
and you've got that lovely group of people in your telephone,
17:16
wherever it is, that you can call
17:18
and they'll sit alongside you and celebrate first.
17:21
And he's definitely amongst that group, which is lovely, isn't it?
17:24
And if he had a legal problem, would he ring you first?
17:27
Yes, but only privately.
17:28
And I probably would know how to help him
17:30
unless he'd gone and committed a war crime,
17:32
which doesn't look likely.
17:34
You have written a book on how to guide us with legal issues,
17:40
haven't you?
17:41
Yeah, trying to make the law accessible to all.
17:43
Everybody can understand the law.
17:45
It's everybody's law.
17:47
Lawyers tend to overcomplicate things, Ann.
17:50
Try to use jargon and to keep it out of reach of people
17:54
in a way which is not always helpful.
17:56
There are some areas of the law which are technical
17:58
and you definitely need a lot of help with.
18:00
But most cases, people can handle on their own
18:03
as long as they've got a bit of objectivity and common sense.
18:06
Give me an example of something where you don't think
18:08
you should have to bother with lawyers.
18:10
You should be able to sort it out.
18:12
It depends on how tricky the issue is and how long it's gone on for
18:15
and whether or not it's a technical issue.
18:17
Most of the time, it's a straightforward issue.
18:19
Has the builder provided the service to a reasonably competent standard?
18:23
As long as you've got somebody who's a decent expert
18:25
that can help you, as long as you remember it's for you
18:28
to prove the case on the balance of probability
18:30
so a judge is more sure than not,
18:32
and you approach it in a kind of sensible way,
18:34
you're likely to get a helpful, sensible outcome.
18:36
Judges and courts are there to do their best to help people,
18:39
especially if they're there without lawyers.
18:41
I think I'd hire you.
18:42
Oh, that would be good. Can you imagine the two of us showing up?
18:45
Yeah. That would shake the walls, wouldn't it?
18:47
Rob Rinder, thank you.
18:53
28-17.
18:55

Stephen?
20:06
Seven.
20:07
Andrew?
20:08
Seven.
20:09
Stephen?
20:10
Erm, fiancées.
20:12
Andrew?
20:13
Fancies.
20:14
Both there, yes.
20:15
Good.
20:16
And great minds, fiancées as well.
20:18
Anything better?
20:20
I couldn't do any better.
20:21
OK.
20:22
So, Andrew, when you're not bossing them around
20:24
in the council chamber, what do you get up to for fun?
20:28
I follow quite a lot of cricket,
20:30
so Lancashire Cricket Club's just across the road
20:32
from my office at the Town Hall.
20:35
I've been around the world watching the England cricket team,
20:38
so I'm a big cricket fan.
20:40
Do you play cricket?
20:41
Not very well, and not so much these days.
20:44
OK.
20:45
And what about football?
20:47
I'm a Manchester City fan.
20:49
Well, there's a whole quietness going on here.
20:51
There is, and a big exhale from Rob.
20:53
Rob knows what that means.
20:55
Your letters.
20:56
A consonant, please, Rachel.
20:57
Thank you, Andrew.
20:58
M.
20:59

Both good, yeah.

Anything different over there?
22:11
There's moil as well, which is a different meaning
22:13
from the one that I thought.
22:15
It's only a four-letter word.
22:16
It's men who moiled for gold.
22:18
It's also the name of the word who does religious circumcision.
22:22
But not spelt like that.
22:24
OK.
22:25
Thank you.

25:45
Stephen, you've got two pets at home, haven't you?
25:48
Yeah.
25:49
What are they called?
25:50
They're called Kerry and Jeff, both males, father and son.
25:53
Yeah, what do they eat?
25:55
It's like a mix, sort of like rabbit food,
25:58
but they'll eat various things.
26:01
They've got a very delicate digestive system,
26:03
so you have to be careful, but they'll eat bits of fruit and herbs.

Oh, sounds like me.

No, you're asking me.
27:38
No, I did actually write an A.
27:40
An A.

They're both wrong anyway, I'm afraid.
27:42
Oh, right, OK.

There is a six, a pop gun,

which is a harmless gun that you can point at somebody
27:49
and have fun with, a child's gun.
27:51
Yeah.

They're not always harmless.

Yes, matches is right.

You could have added the R.

The person who matches one thing with another,
29:21
or one person with another,
29:23
which is my only contribution to humanity.
29:25
I've done only five set-ups.

Yeah, I'm a matcher.

This one was quite a nice target for these numbers.

If you say four divided by four is one.
32:48
Add it to ten for 11.
32:50
Three times three is nine.
