00:11.

00:22.
00:24.
00:26Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio, London.
00:35What a great city. What a great city.
00:37Double-decker buses, black cabs and buskers.
00:40I love the buskers. I love the buskers in the tube.
00:43Some great musicians operating down there.
00:45But nowadays things have changed, you know, Rachel.
00:48Because no longer does one have to, you know, try and aim your £2 coin at the open violin case
00:55because now they can have contactless payments.
00:59Brilliant. Yeah.
01:00Which, of course, means that they've got perhaps to stop playing
01:03while they ask you how much you'd like to, you know, contribute and so forth.
01:08What sort of busker do you like?
01:10Well, I'm more interested in...
01:11I love the idea of people on the street being able to take contactless payments.
01:14Especially, you know, there's the only excuse if someone asks for money
01:17and they're on the street and people say they'll probably spend it on drugs or alcohol.
01:22If there was an app or somewhere you could give them that money.
01:24Yeah.
01:25And then it would be spent on food or you'd have thought, you know,
01:27business can get involved as well and do discs.
01:29Sure.
01:30I think there's an idea in this.
01:31I think so too.
01:32But actually, somebody who's playing great jazz with a clarinet down in the tube.
01:37Yeah.
01:37And you enjoy it on the down escalator.
01:40Why not give them money?
01:41Absolutely.
01:42Now, Rachel, we've got Teelins back.
01:45Teelins, good maths man.
01:47He won every game yesterday.
01:49But sadly, he was unable.
01:50He was tricked at conundrum stage.
01:54Am I right, Julian?
01:54Yeah.
01:55Wish I had it, but...
01:56Listen, you've got your teapot.
01:59Don't relax.
02:00Don't relax.
02:00Chemistry student from Newcastle, from Woodhull Spa in Lincolnshire.
02:05Joined by Mike.
02:07Mike Daisley.
02:07Welcome, Mike.
02:08Hello.
02:08And you're from Hull?
02:09Yes.
02:10You're an accounts assistant.
02:12Big rugby league fan.
02:14And who other than Hull Kingston Rovers?
02:16Yes.
02:17How did they get on last season?
02:19Last season, we got promoted back up to the Super League, but this season's not going as well.
02:24Not going as well, no?
02:25No.
02:26All right.
02:26But one of the great names in rugby league, I guess.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Listen, have a lot of fun today, both of you.
02:32Big round of applause for Teelin and Mike.
02:35APPLAUSE
02:36Susie's over in the corner.

06:19Yes, to grade differently.
06:20Well done.
06:20Well done.
06:23Well done, Teeling.
06:25Now, Richard and Susie, what's the corner got to offer?
06:28You can't argue with an eight, but apparently you can disagree.
06:31Well done.
06:32Disagree, Susie?
06:33Excellent.
06:33And Grecia is another eight.

07:50And the clue, his classic car was stolen, so his friends tried to make him feel better.
07:54His classic car was stolen, so his friends tried to make him feel better.
08:01Welcome back. I left you with the clue.
08:17His classic car was stolen, so his friends tried to make him feel better.
08:21Try to make him feel comforted, is the word.
08:26Comforted is the answer to that.

10:11Susie's making up words again.
10:13Yeah.
10:13And?
10:14Banjoed.
10:16He was completely banjoed.
10:17Well, that would be banjo-ex, but as in he banjoed the night away.
10:21But it's not the real verb.
10:23Try as we might.
10:24I have strange friends, what can I say?
10:26We had broadened.

11:53Virtues.
11:53Excellent, yes.
11:54Well done.
11:55Just a point behind Teelan.
11:5731 plays 32.
11:58Richard.
12:00Like the perfect date.
12:01When you meet someone who's suit, for seven,
12:04the date either withers, for seven,
12:06or thrives, for seven.
12:08Look at you.
12:09Very good.
12:10Fantastic.
12:12Three of them, all in a row.
12:14Like the perfect date.
12:17Susie, anything else?
12:18I can't add a thing to that.
12:20No.
12:20She's banjoed.
12:21I am.
12:22Banjoed, exactly.
12:2332 to 31.
12:26Mike, your numbers game.
12:28Can I have one large and five small, please?

12:53MUSIC PLAYS
13:18Well, Mike, 483.
13:21Teal in? 483.
13:22Yep.
13:23Mike?
13:24100 times 5.
13:26500.
13:27And then 9 plus 8 is 17.
13:29It is 17, yep.
13:30Take it off.
13:31Simple one again.
13:32And Teal in?
13:32Exactly the same way.
13:33Same way.
13:35Yep.
13:35There we go.
13:39Only a point in it as we turn to Richard Arnold.
13:44Speak to us of Australia.
13:47What have you been up to, Dan?
13:48Well, I thought I'd treat you over the next few shows to a little bit of a global tour,
13:53with a smattering of celebrity.
13:54It's basically my last nine months since I was absent from Dictionary Corner, and I know
13:58you've been bereft, Susie, but I'll keep this as brief as I possibly can, nevertheless.
14:02Yeah, to Down Under, and I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.
14:052009 was the last time I was invited to cover that, so it was quite a jolly to go and be
14:11invited to cover the show again.
14:13But the joy about it is when you have to get up, as I do, about sort of 4 o'clock in the
14:17morning, the crack of a sparrows cough in this country.
14:19When you're making breakfast television in Australia for the UK, it's 4 p.m.
14:24It's bliss.
14:25And they put you up for nine days in a five-star hotel, so no bad news there, and you paddle
14:31across the pool in your resort wear, or a gaping kimono, as I've often been caught in
14:34in Australia.
14:35Can't remember that image, as you might.
14:37It's probably not one for you, Susie.
14:39She's been banjoed again.
14:41But you just approach the camera, and it's all bliss.
14:44But there is a price to be paid, so when you're sent out or dispatched down under to
14:48cover it, you have to take part in a bush tucker trial.
14:52So my trial was called The Snakes Are High.
14:57Now, my palms were clammy, not because of the snakes, but because of the prospect of heights.
15:01I hate heights, so I didn't know what I was going into.
15:04And your heart is in your mouth when you approach the jungle, which is quite far from the five-star
15:09luxury, so it's a long, long journey to chew over and think about.
15:13What are they going to do to you?
15:14And I discovered that they were going to put me in a box and suspend me under the jungle
15:20canopy, and they were going to put snakes in.
15:23So you lie there like this, and they feed in these pythons.
15:29So Dr. Bob's on hand.
15:30So he's the resident medic, of course.
15:32Fans of the show will know that.
15:33And he said, you know, whatever you do, don't move.
15:35Whatever you do, don't reach out and grab it by the neck.
15:37The advice I give to you on every date.
15:42You lie very, very still and think of England.
15:44So I lie there in this perspex box.
15:48Twenty pythons crawling all over you.
15:52It was...
15:53Actually, you do actually just lie there and think of England or Great Britain, for want
15:57of a better expression, because you close yourself off entirely.
16:00But they get absolutely everywhere.
16:04And my advice, ladies, would be, and gentlemen, too, is, you know, no matter how big the snake,
16:09if you get a forked tongue in your ear, make sure they buy you a drink first.
16:15Wow.
16:15What a story.
16:21I don't know how you do...
16:22I imagine you just have to shut yourself right down, don't you?
16:25You do.
16:25It did help that the goggles that they gave you were so misted over,
16:29because you're perspiring so much, that you can't see anything.
16:32Yeah.
16:32Well done, Luke.
16:33Well done.
16:34Now, 42 to 41, Teelan squeezed a one-point lead there.
16:39Teelan, you're back on.

18:04you know, just like the 70s,
18:05but I'm not sure whether backy...
18:07It is, yes.
18:07Riding pillion on a bike is riding backy,
18:09so that will give you a six as well as Packet.
18:13So, Mike, off we go.

21:10All right.
21:15So, 65 to 58.
21:18Mike in the lead as we turn to our second tea time teaser,
21:20which is anti-sport and the clue.
21:23He's not into sport.
21:24He prefers to write down numbers and take photos.
21:28He's not into sport.
21:29He prefers to write down numbers and take photos.
21:32Welcome back.
21:48I've got a clue.
21:48He's not into sport.
21:50He prefers to write down numbers and take photos.
21:52The answer to that is that he's train-spotter.
21:57And the answer is train-spot.
21:59Train-spot.

25:18A motelier.
25:19Oh, really?
25:20No.
25:21Moteliers.
25:22Very good.
25:25Make them up.
25:2778 to 71.
25:29Mike in the lead.
25:31Two good players, two good scores.
25:33Susie, we're with you.
25:34Give them a rest.
25:35Yes.
25:35What have you for us today?
25:37Well, Jess Hayford asked a question by email.
25:41Thanks to Jess.
25:42She asked where the word sky comes from.
25:44And it is quite a beautiful word.
25:46Very short, pithy word.
25:48And it perhaps might surprise you,
25:51because the Anglo-Saxons used a very different word for sky,
25:55for that observable expanse above our heads.
25:57And that was simply heaven.
25:59So they would refer to a bird in the heaven,
26:02which, of course, then became quite poetic in use and quite religious.
26:06So heaven didn't last as the sort of general term for the sky for too long.
26:10They also called it the welkin, perhaps not quite so poetic.
26:14Firmament was another one.
26:16That's related to firm with the idea of a sort of vault above the earth that kind of supports the sky.
26:23So that's quite beautiful.
26:24But sky itself came in around the 12th century.
26:27And we have the Vikings to thank for that.
26:30It was a simple direct borrowing from Old Norse, their language,
26:33which they brought to us when they came over.
26:36But for the Vikings, it didn't quite mean a sky.
26:38It meant a cloud.
26:40And so Ling was like to joke that it was the British weather that made cloud and sky mean one and the same thing.
26:47But the ultimate route of sky, the very, very ancient route,
26:50also gave us a few other words.
26:53Obscure, like a cloud.
26:54Remember that meaning of a cloud, the cloud that sort of blots out the sun,
26:58making things dark and dismal and gloomy.
27:00And scum as well, rather unromantically, again,
27:04with the idea of sort of something sort of thick, a mass that's kind of blotting out the light.
27:09But it also made me think of cloud nine, all this talk about clouds and skies.
27:13And that's something I get asked about quite a lot.
27:16And there's a lovely theory attached to it,
27:17which goes back to an international cloud atlas,
27:21which was published in 1896.
27:23And it defined 10 types of clouds.
27:25And the ninth cloud was the cumulonimbus cloud.
27:28And that rises to around 10 kilometres above the ground,
27:33which is the highest pretty much that you can get.
27:35And so the idea is that if you were on the cumulonimbus cloud,
27:38you were on cloud nine, you were blissfully happy because you were that high up.
27:42Sadly, the evidence doesn't quite fit the story, lovely as it is.
27:46And before we had cloud nine, we had cloud eight and cloud seven,
27:50and even cloud 10 if you were feeling blissfully happy.
27:53So it was really all about numbers, moving up with numbers,
27:56as prosaic as that, sadly.
27:57But I love the idea of the international cloud atlas, which does still exist.
28:01And you can get it on a certain search engine on its book site.
28:04It's well worth a look,
28:05because it will tell you where all the different clouds came from,
28:08including the origins.
28:09Oh, wonderful.
28:1278 plays 71.
28:14Mike in the lead.
28:16And now, Mike, it's your letters game.

29:39Yes, in the dictionary.
29:41What are we to do?
29:42What are we to do here?
29:43Richard, for seven payload.
29:46Excellent.
29:48A good payload.
29:49Yes.
29:50A heavy payload.
29:50Yeah, particularly the sort of revenue earning part of the aeroplane, for example.
29:56That's the plane's payload, so where the passengers sit.
29:59But that was the most we could do with seven.
30:01That's it.
30:01Yeah.
30:02Thanks very much.
30:0284 to 77.
30:04Now, Chilin, let us go.

31:27Oh, no, we need two O's.
31:29Is there not...
31:29No, it's monitor.
31:31That kills me.
31:32Yeah, two O's you need.
31:33Now, what does the corner have for us?
31:35We have a six, mentor.
31:37Mentor.
31:38Yes.
31:38That's it, Richard?
31:39Yeah, tremor as well.

31:41OK.

31:44Oh, dear.
31:46Mike, your numbers game.
31:48One large and five small, please.
31:49You can, and I know T-Lin's hoping for something more tricky than the last slot.
31:53Keep this game alive.
31:54Let's see what I can find.
31:55Final numbers are six, nine, four, three.
32:01Another nine and a large on 25.

32:41And Tealyn?
32:421-5-3.
32:42Now then, Mike.
32:4425 times 6.
32:451-50.
32:46And I have to 3.
32:47Yeah, another easy one.
32:48There we go.
32:49Same way.
32:49Well done.
32:50All right.
32:51So, it's 100 for Mike.
32:53A great debut.
32:55A great debut.
32:56As indeed Tealyn's was yesterday.
32:58But we're going to the final round, chaps.
33:02Fingers on buzzers.
33:03Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:09Yes, Mike?
33:10Evidently.
33:11Evidently.
33:12Let's see whether you're right.
33:15Well done.
33:18Well done, Mike.
33:21That's a great performer.
33:23110.
33:24Oh, Tealyn.
33:25You got away.
33:25You got away.
33:27But listen, you're going home with a teapot.
33:28That makes it worthwhile, doesn't it?
33:30Now, very best wishes to you.
33:32You're a good player.
33:33Great player.
33:34And on the day, in strolls, Mike Dazling gets 110.
33:38Fantastic.
33:40Look forward with keen anticipation to seeing you tomorrow.
33:44Richard, we look forward to seeing you, too.
33:46Oh, you've still got your health, Nick.
33:49And Susie, too, of course.
33:51We'll see you both tomorrow.
33:52He's good, isn't he?
33:53He is.
33:53But they were a rubbish selection of numbers.
33:55I blame myself.
33:56Didn't get to test either contestant today.
33:58No.
33:58And then we know Tealyn was very good at the numbers yesterday, so we'll give Mike a few
34:02better ones over the next day, at least.
34:05Let's try for that, shall we?
34:06See you tomorrow.
34:07See you then.
34:07Join us then.
34:08Same time, same place.
