00:30APPLAUSE
00:32Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:35It's the big one, yes, it's the Series 72 final
00:38with two great finalists, two great finalists.
00:41So, who, a little bit later this afternoon,
00:44will lift the coveted Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy
00:48and drag home with them
00:51a set of the Oxford English Dictionaries
00:53plus a top-of-the-range portable computer?
00:56Fantastic. But before all the excitement begins,
00:58we really ought, Rachel, I guess,
01:00to just thank all those wonderful contestants
01:03that's made Series 72 such a great success
01:06and also all our Dictionary Corner guests.
01:09Absolutely.
01:10We've had some great new ones.
01:12Let me just list off and let's give them a little cheer, too.
01:16We've had Tim Wannacott, who is a wonderful guy,
01:19talking about antiques, footballing legend,
01:21your sort of guy, Graeme Le Sault.
01:24Cherry Houston was a hoot, wasn't she?
01:26She absolutely was, bonkers, in the nicest possible way.
01:29Brilliant, brilliant.
01:30She's gone off to Benidorm now, that'll calm her down.
01:33Now, who else was...
01:34Chris Hollins, of course, sporting stories.
01:37Steve Baxhall.
01:39He was a man. Fascinating animal stories.
01:42Fabulous. All right.
01:43And who could forget Rufus Hound and his wonderful poems?
01:47He wrote in the middle of the night about Countdown.
01:50He really put a lot of effort into that. Fantastic.
01:52And what highlights, I think, are Rufus.
01:55He was very special.
01:57He'd give my favourite, Joe Brand, a bit of a run for her money, I reckon.
02:01Phew!
02:04And what have your highlights been?
02:07Well, I think for the first time it's ever happened,
02:10Andy Noden, one of our quarter-finalists,
02:12got his own tattoo of Countdown.
02:14Wasn't that good? That's pretty special.
02:16And today we have a Man Utd-supporting female champion finalist,
02:20and by way of her husband, her son,
02:22has actually given me these Man Utd football boots.
02:25So that's going to highlight me.
02:26They're actually both left-footed,
02:28so maybe they're foul cows from this season, but they're pretty good.
02:32Well done. Well done. Enjoy them.
02:35Enjoy.
02:36Now then, let's get down to business here with our two finalists.
02:39Tom Kappelmann, wonderful chap, number one seed,
02:43lived up to expectations, stormed his way to this final
02:46by winning his semi with 127 points. Fantastic.
02:50Ten games under your belt, how many points?
02:531,152. That's a fantastic record.
02:56And you're joined by Tracy, of course,
02:58beat the number two seed, Gerry Tynan, to get here.
03:01You now have got ten under your belt and 1036 points as well.
03:07So we've got two great finalists.
03:09So just enjoy it. Good luck to you both.
03:11And over in the corner, Susie, keeping an eye on everything,
03:14joined by the wonderful Jo Brown.
03:17Jo, it's been a great pleasure, as always,
03:19and we're proud to have you here for the final.
03:21Well, it's lovely to be here for the final.
03:23All right. Now then, let's get down to business.
03:26And good luck to you both. Tom, let us go.

04:54Very good.
04:55And what else have we got there?
04:57Jo?
04:58Well, I've actually got a proper word, which is pantiles.
05:03Yes.
05:04Cos I actually used to live on the pantiles in Sunbridge Wells,
05:07so I actually know what they are for a change.
05:10Well done. Pantiles. And Susie?
05:13Yeah, no, supinate, pantiles, planus is another H,

10:23Susie?
10:25You can have diopters as well for eight.
10:27They are units of refractive powers,
10:30so all to do with the focus of a lens.
10:33That's a diopter, that's another eight.
10:35Very good. And Joe's also scientific?
10:37Yeah, very.
10:39I've got a nine.
10:40Yes.
10:41I feel very sorry for Victorian women
10:43who used to be kind of laced into this hideous machinery, you know,
10:47and they would...
10:48And when it was done up as tight as it possibly could be,
10:51they would sort of go, oh, like that.
10:53That's called a corset dip.
10:55LAUGHTER
10:58That's right, those waspy wastes and things.
11:01Oh, awful.
11:02Fantastic.
11:03Must be very painful.
11:0426-15. Tom's in the lead at the moment,

12:24What is that?
12:25Produced by the breakdown of sugar.
12:27I see.
12:28That is moltos.
12:29I see. Thank you. Anything else?
12:30There is a lovely eight there.
12:32Soulmate.
12:33Soulmate.
12:34Yes.
12:35Jo?
12:36I've got a not-so-lovely eight.
12:38I was thinking, you know, you can get something
12:40to sort of get rid of flies that are buzzing round your kitchen.
12:43Why not take the same approach on bigger animals
12:46and get yourself a mole swat?
12:48LAUGHTER
12:50Very good idea.
12:52It's a mess, actually, moles.
12:5433-22, and it's numbers time.
12:57This time it's Tracey's pick.
13:00Right, could I have one from the top, please, Rachel,
13:02and any other five of your choice?
13:04Kicking with your favourite one large, five little ones.
13:06Thank you, Tracey.

14:06We happy?
14:07All right.
14:11So, 43 plays Tracey's 32
14:15as we take a little break to enjoy Joe Brown.
14:19Joe?
14:20Right, well, I'm going to finish off
14:23by talking about health service management speak today.
14:28Because it is quite gobsmacking, the sort of language that they use.
14:33And it would be hard for you to know what they were talking about, really.
14:37Like interoperability, for example.
14:41That doesn't mean doing an operation in between two beds.
14:45It means systems communicating with one another.
14:50Yes.
14:51Parity of esteem. What might we guess that means?
14:55Oh, being equally respectful to each other.
14:58No, it means valuing mental health equally with physical health.
15:02Oh.
15:03Yeah. And this is my favourite, care pathways.
15:07This makes me want to cry and kick the ground.
15:11Well, this means multidisciplinary management tool
15:14based on evidence-based practice for a specific group of patients
15:17with a predictable clinical course
15:19in which the different tasks, interventions by the professionals
15:22involved in the patient care are defined, optimised and sequenced
15:25either by hour, day or visit.
15:28Outcomes are tied to specific interventions.
15:31Oh, no.
15:35That's dreadful.
15:36It makes me so glad I'm not a nurse anymore
15:39because I'd just go to work and my head would explode after about ten minutes.
15:43And finally, just to mention that age-old abbreviation
15:48that apparently is written and kind of reinterpreted by doctors.
15:54Have you heard of the abbreviation NFR?
15:57No.
15:58That means not for resuscitation.
16:00It's occasionally written in someone's notes.
16:03Although, depending on where you live,
16:05an anaesthetist friend of mine says it means normal for Red Ruth.
16:13Basically, choose anywhere in the country that begins with R
16:16and insert it there.
16:18So, there we go.
16:19That's lovely. That's lovely. Well done.
16:25All right, 43 to 32. Now, then, Tom, let us go.
16:28Can I have a consonant, please?
16:30Thank you, Tom. N.

17:47Inshore, yeah, as opposed to out in the ocean.
17:49And just to remind you, senhora is in Portuguese-speaking countries,
17:52a woman, especially a married woman,
17:54so it's a polite form of address, senhora.
17:56All right, 50 plays, 39, and it's Tracy's letters game.

24:04And here's the countdown clock.
24:18CLOCK TICKS
24:38Tom?
24:39I'll try seven.
24:40A seven.
24:41Tracey?
24:42Six.
24:43A six. Six for Tracey, which is...?
24:45Hornet.
24:46Hornet. And Tom?
24:47Varon.
24:49How are you spelling that, Tom?
24:50T-H-E-R-E-O-N.
24:52Oh, Varon.
24:53It's absolutely brilliant.
24:55Yep, it's there for seven. Very, very well done.
24:57Well done. Well done indeed.
24:58Yep.
24:59And in the corner there, Susie and Joe.
25:01Susie?
25:02Well, I was well beaten by Tom on that one.
25:04Just honker and throng, for me, sixes.
25:07Very good.
25:0881 to 63.
25:10And Susie?
25:12Our final origins of words. Now.
25:15Well, thank you.
25:16Always, with these finals,
25:18we always think of the dramatic words in English
25:21or the words that look back to dramatic events.
25:24Champion and campus go back to the fields
25:26where soldiers were trained for battle.
25:28And trophy were the pile of weapons
25:31gathered from a defeated army
25:33set up as a memorial of victory.
25:35But the ancient Greeks had a hand in all of this as well
25:39when it comes to words of drama.
25:41And if you look back to the protagonist,
25:43every actor was evaluated according to ability
25:46and then ranked as a protagonist,
25:48a deuteragonist and a tritagonist.
25:51And the prefix told exactly what the actor's position was
25:55and how important he was.
25:56And it was normally a he.
25:57Protos means first, deuteros means second
25:59and tri translates to three.
26:01So the protagonist was the main character in the drama,
26:05the all-important character.
26:07And, of course, we have two protagonists today
26:09because we use it now a little bit more loosely
26:11to mean the characters who play a part in a drama.
26:14But the agonist is interesting
26:16because it goes back to a Greek word meaning to lead.
26:19And it was all about leading people
26:21into battle or dramatic situations.
26:24So the agonia were the places where the Greeks would gather
26:29to see this mental and spiritual and very physical battle.
26:32And, of course, that's where we get agony from today,
26:35going all the way back to the anguish
26:37that was felt during those battles.
26:38Hopefully neither Tom nor Tracy will feel agony today,
26:41but they're certainly protagonists in our drama.
26:44Fantastic.
26:49That's wonderful.
26:50Wonderful.
26:5181 plays 63.

28:07Excellent. Both excellent eights.
28:09All right. Can you match it, Susie?
28:12One more, it's an undertip. Undertip is there for another eight.
28:16Indeed. And, Jo, can you match it?
28:18I've got an eight, yes.
28:20Oh, just a bit of advice, really, to people.
28:23It's very important where you're storing clothes,
28:27it's kept very dry.
28:28Because if it's a bit damp, you tend to get undie rot.
28:31LAUGHTER
28:34Undie rot.
28:35Indeed. Thank you.

30:01Very good. And Jo?

30:20Tracy?
30:21For the last time, Rachel, could I have one from the top
30:24and any of the five of your choice, please?
