00:30Hello, everybody. Good afternoon.
00:32Welcome to the show that doesn't offer up a million pounds
00:35or a brand-new car or an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii.
00:40Just a simple teapot, and I think it's worth its weight in gold.
00:45Rachel Riley, question for you.
00:47I'm only here roughly a year, actually, this month.
00:51Have you got a teapot?
00:52Because I've been told I'm not allowed to take a teapot home.
00:56I think that's just you. I don't trust you with it.
00:58I've had a teapot, but my mum's a charity fundraiser,
01:01so she's raised funds for charity with said teapot.
01:04So I just need to take notes here for the record.
01:06When you say you have a teapot, how did you come by it?
01:08I have had a teapot. I was given a teapot.
01:10Everyone that the producer likes gets a teapot on the team.
01:14Right, so then Susie doesn't have one, then.
01:15I think Susie's had a teapot, yeah.
01:17I think it's a great prize.
01:18But if you look back, 3-2-1 was a little before your time.
01:22Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin.
01:24You actually got a bin as the booby prize,
01:26if you were the worst on it.
01:28I mean, for my generation, when you say bad prizes on game shows,
01:31you think bullseye.
01:32Straight away to bullseye.
01:33Didn't they film in the Midlands and you could win a speedboat
01:35or something ridiculous like that?
01:36Well, you just hold that thought, because we'll come back to that.
01:39But we've got a very special prize hidden over there in the corner.
01:43It's our G of the D, Susie Dent.
01:45And alongside all this week is the presenter and good friend,
01:49Edith Bowman.
01:50Edith Bowman, young Harry Savage with his six wins
01:55is thinking, what are these people talking about?
01:58Now, you're at university.
01:59We know you just love paleontology.
02:01What else are you doing in the university life to enjoy yourself?
02:04I spend a lot of time, obviously, doing my degree.
02:08Lots and lots of time doing that.
02:10But of course, and lots of time seeing friends,
02:13but I play a lot of ultimate frisbee.
02:14What's that?
02:15It's a bit of a strange sport that's come over from America
02:17in the past couple of decades.
02:20But it involves throwing a frisbee between players.
02:22You're not allowed to move when you have the frisbee.
02:24You score in end zones a bit like American football.
02:27So it's kind of almost like a cross between netball and American football.
02:30Well, that sounds brilliant.
02:31But it's good fun.
02:31Yeah, I love that.
02:32I love that.
02:33Good at games.
02:33We've worked that out, Harry, so far.
02:35Well, you're up against Michael Cameron,
02:37originally from Cumbria,
02:38but you hear a little bit of the North East coming through,
02:40because he's lived inside Shields for a while.
02:42How are you, Michael?
02:44Yeah, I'm ready to go, I think.
02:46Ready?
02:46But I think it's going to be a tough game.
02:48Exactly.
02:49You might as well just relax and enjoy it.
02:50Yeah, might as well.
02:51You know?
02:52You don't even get your BFH here, by the way, if you lose.
02:55They don't even give you your boss for a home.
02:56No, no, that's a shame.
02:58Well, listen, you said it, Rich.
02:59You said, what about the speedboat?
03:02Give it to someone in the Midlands.
03:03Well, get this.
03:04Tell me about your auntie and uncle on Bullseye
03:06back in the day with Jim Bowen.
03:08Yeah, back in, I think it was about their second series of Bullseye.
03:11They were one of the couples that came back on.
03:15They got knocked out straight away.
03:17But the others couldn't gamble, didn't want to gamble,
03:20and they gambled their £40 and won the speedboat.
03:23Yes!
03:24Speedboat winner.
03:25I love it.
03:26Well, listen, you're going to write yourself
03:27into the Cameron family game show folklore
03:30if you can take that teapot today.
03:32So good luck to you, Michael and Harry.
03:37All right, Harry, you know the rules.
03:38You get knocked on this game for two in a bed.
03:40Stay out of the black and in the red.
03:42And let's get some letters.
03:43Hi again, Rachel.

07:42Times by seven. Times by seven is 966. And take away the five. And 961, one away.
07:50Gets you one away. Could you get one closer? I'd get one the other way, but this is a one-in-fifty-odd impossible one for the one large.
07:57All right, brilliant. So, as good as you could get. Well done. Seven points.
08:01Thank you very much. Let's get the first Tea Time teaser of this Thursday afternoon, and it's Power Mat.

11:20Eight.
11:21Eight. Well done, both of you. What's the word?
11:23Egestion.
11:23Is it the same?
11:25Ingested.
11:26Ingested and egestion.
11:27Excellent. So we were just talking about egestion.
11:30So that is the opposite of digestion.
11:32So if you digest something, you take it in.
11:34If you egest it, you expel it as waste.
11:37Very politely put. I like your style.
11:39For this time of the day, nobody needs anything more than that.
11:42OK.
11:42Michael, let's get back to the numbers.
11:43Harry likes one large.
11:45Let's see how you go about your business.
11:47One from the top, please, Rachel.
11:49And any other five?
11:51Same again. One large.
11:52Five little. You're not gambling at this stage.
11:55Let's see what we have this time.
11:57One.
11:58Four.
11:59Six.
12:00Two.
12:02Five.
12:02And 25.
12:04And the target.
12:05Small.
12:06One, three, eight.
12:07Nice and low.
12:08One, three, eight.
12:09Numbers up.
12:15That's time up.
12:41One, three, eight.
12:43Did you navigate that OK, Michael?
12:44Yeah, one, three, eight.
12:45Lovely.
12:46And Harry?
12:47One, three, eight as well.
12:48Mr Cameron, it's on you.
12:5125 times five is 125.
12:54Yep.
12:54Six times two is 12 and add it on and add the one.
13:00Perfect.
13:00One, three, eight.
13:01Very good.
13:02And Harry?
13:03I did 25, take away two.
13:0523.
13:06And times by six.
13:07One, three, eight again.
13:08Nice.
13:08I think we deserve that easy numbers round after the first one of the day.
13:1546 players, 24 as we catch up with the hero that is Edith Bowman.
13:20Because Edith was here on Friday of last week and doing five shows this week to get us back in sync.
13:27Which has been annoying several of us.
13:29But that's old age for you, you see, Ed.
13:31When we met, we were in our early 20s.
13:34Yeah.
13:34You know, we were on Radio 1 with six million young listeners our own age.
13:39We were partying.
13:40Look at us now.
13:40I mean, six days seems like nothing compared to what we used to do back in the day.
13:44Particularly this time of year with it being festivals.
13:47Yeah.
13:47You know, we'd kind of be doing Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, which is coming up later this month as well.
13:53Yeah.
13:53Tents and more tents and caravans.
13:55Yeah, caravans and yeah.
13:57And when your husband's in a band, he does all the festivals, right?
14:01Across Europe.
14:02Yeah, that's one of my favourite things to do with the kids because we just got on the bus with Tom and you wake up in a different city every day.
14:08And because they're quite noisy, so you want to get off before you wake anybody else up.
14:12So we get off the bus and go and explore.
14:14Yeah.
14:14So it's been a brilliant way of seeing places.
14:16But it's also been wonderful to see some other festivals around Europe.
14:21There's one in particular, which I think was in France, where they just had two main stages.
14:25And so one would start, the other one would get set up.
14:28So it kind of flipped back and forward a bit like a tennis match.
14:30No.
14:31It was a really great way of doing it.
14:32So there was no gaps?
14:33There was no gaps.
14:34One would finish, the next one would start.
14:35And then it was great as well because it gave everybody the opportunity to be at the front.
14:38So these guys be at the front for that band.
14:40It'd be a different crowd for that one.
14:41And yeah, and also get to taste all the food at all the different festivals as well.
14:45Yeah.
14:45What is then, because you've been to more festivals than most people on the planet,
14:50what's the best festival in the world?
14:51Well, I mean, everyone always goes on about Glastonbury.
14:54Glastonbury is a lot more than a festival.
14:57You could go to Glastonbury and not see any bands and still have an amazing experience.
15:01For me, Tea in the Park has got a special place, which was a festival.
15:05It doesn't exist anymore.
15:07But for Scotland and what it did and how it celebrated Scottish crowds and stuff,
15:11always have a special place for me.
15:12I remember getting, was it in Ballado?
15:15Yeah.
15:16And I remember before I did this as a job,
15:19I remember getting the bus with my mates over to Glasgow, I think.
15:23And then we got another bus with our tents over a big bridge.
15:28Yeah, the fourth road bridge.
15:29That's the one.
15:30There's more than one in there.
15:31There's three now, yes.
15:32There's three now.
15:33Well, there's a brand new road bridge, yeah.
15:35We'll put it this way, even when there was one,
15:37I was seeing three back in those days.
15:40But I saw some amazing concerts there.
15:42It was a really special festival and great memories.
15:46You wouldn't catch me camping for loving the money now.
15:49Too old.
15:50You've changed.
15:50I have.
15:51How you've changed.
15:52I just, I never thought I'd be the person that would go,
15:55I'll watch Glastonbury in TV.
15:57That's what I've turned into.
15:58Well, I hope you've enjoyed the festival season,
16:00either from this so far or if you did get out.
16:03There's so many these days, little boutique festivals,
16:05and all sorts.
16:06Edith, thank you so much.
16:07Pleasure.
16:10Right, lower that.
16:1146 players, 24.
16:13We're barely halfway through, though.

I've got trumped and trumped. We have uprated. We were wondering about out dream, but it's hyphenated. If there's an out, Harry would have it. He loves an out at the start of a word.
17:40Once I saw the out now, getting into Harry's game, I was looking at that as well, but couldn't get anything after that. At 53, 31. And Michael, it's on you, mate. Consonant, please.

19:06So that's not there.
19:09But it was quite tough, this one.
19:10Yeah, well, that ing was there, so I was expecting something to...
19:13We had finagle, which is one of my favourite American words.
19:16Great word, finagle.
19:17It's good, but he had an eight.
19:20Gantline.
19:21Gantline. Never heard of it.
19:23Yeah, it's a line passed through a block near the mast on a ship.
19:27Used to hoist sails and rigging and things.
19:29Yeah, that's what all your experience in the high seas, either.
19:32Yeah. Sailor girl bowman.
19:34Where did you put that word from?
19:36Oh, well, you're from a fishing town, actually.
19:38There we go.
19:38There you go, Anstrother.
19:39Shout out to everybody watching up in Anstrother.
19:41Fishing in my blood.
19:4460 plays 31.
19:45Third numbers round of the day, Harry.

19:49You can, indeed. Thank you, Harry.

20:40Nailed it. Michael? Nah, I didn't get it.
20:43Never got one right. Off you go, Harry.
20:455 times 25. 5 25s, 1, 2, 5. Add one.
20:491, 2, 6. Times 8. 1,008.
20:52And then 10 times 10 is 100. Well done.
20:55908. Lovely. Nice one.
20:58APPLAUSE
21:01A well-earned 10 points, Mr Savage. Well done.
21:05Now, Michael Cameron is our challenger today.
21:08Who's watching at home? Michael, let's give him a mention.
21:11Lola and Jordan, my son and daughter.
21:14Brilliant. And the wife does not get a mention?
21:16Well, she's probably too busy running around after them,
21:19making the tea, I think, as we speak.
21:21No name. Love that. I'm just going to move on. Sorry.
21:24You didn't get a shout-out. No time. Tea time, teasers, crumpets, crumpets.
21:28Richard of York's old computer, perhaps.
21:31Richard of York's old computer, perhaps.
21:37APPLAUSE
21:39Welcome back. A very clever tea time teaser.
21:53Richard of York's old computer, perhaps.
21:55Crumpets becomes Spectrum. And Susie Dent will explain why.
21:58Spectrum is a rainbow. Richard of York gave Battle in Vane.
22:01That will give you the colours to the rainbow. Top drawer.
22:03Top drawer tea time teaser. It's very good. He's great. Yeah.
22:06Wonderful. Well done indeed. I want to dedicate that to Angela,
22:10who is the wife of Michael.
22:12Six lines left. It's got you out of the doghouse.
22:15You should be thanking me, Michael. Let's get more letters.
22:17Consonant, please, Rachel.
22:19Thank you, Michael. R.

22:44Final B.
22:45All righty, let's play.
22:47All righty, let's play this time.
22:49Let's play it.
22:50And the L.
22:54And the message of the stream is so dry.
23:00You didn't think that.
23:02Place to your view.
23:05The En Hahaha app was so dry.
23:08Can you see?
23:09Dobsонant, we know.
23:10The Wallace Bays is so good.
23:12Go away.
23:13I'll do this one now.
23:14I'm going to go down esa levee,
23:15How'd you get on, Michael?
23:19Just five.
23:20The five there, and Harry?
23:22Seven.
23:22And a seven.
23:23What's the five, Michael?
23:24Rabid.
23:25And the seven?
23:26Appropriately, rainbow.
23:27Rainbow!
23:28Straight off the back of that.
23:30People think this show's fixed.
23:32I love the coincidence of that.
23:33It's brilliant.
23:33Anything else?
23:35Is it Bodren?
23:36Do you know the drum?
23:37It is indeed a Bodren.
23:38Do you get that?
23:39Because it's got an accent on it.
23:40But does that...
23:41Yeah, it does count.
23:42So B-O-D-H-R-A-N.
23:44Shallow, one-sided Irish drum.
23:47Bodren is absolutely beautiful, Edith.
23:5077 plays 31.
23:53More letters from her champion, Harry.
23:55Can I start with a consonant, please?
23:56Thank you, Harry.

24:20And lastly, O.
24:23Good luck.
24:23Good luck.
24:27And again,
24:29you're here.
24:31MUSIC PLAYS
24:54Harry. Six. And Michael.
24:56Just five again. Five. Don't say just to me. What's a five?
24:59Louse. And the six?
25:01Housel. Housel.
25:03It's absolutely fine. Now rare, of course,
25:06it's the consecrated elements of the Eucharist, especially the bread.
25:10I did lousy in that round. Anything else in Dictionary Corner?
25:13Well, another Scottish word for you, hoolie.
25:16Oh! In Irish as well.
25:18Did you say hoolies?
25:19Not blowing a hoolie, that's I-E, from the Shetlands.
25:23This is a wild party, and that's E-Y-S.
25:25So you're having a party in Dictionary Corner.
25:27Hoolie's is the longest word we can find.
25:30The Celtic Dictionary comes to your ear again, Edith.
25:34Let's end Dictionary Corner then for Origins of Words.
25:37Susie.
25:37Well, one of the most recent times that I've heard you and Edith
25:40as a combo was on a Radio 5 Live show,
25:43which was all about parenting,
25:45but particularly newborns and childbirth, et cetera.
25:48Well, Edith was pregnant, and I was...
25:51Had nothing to do with it?
25:52Tom was the father, but I was the one who went to the classes.
25:55That's all I'm saying. He was on tour. Move on.
25:57OK, got you.
25:57Well, just a few words from childbirth for you both,
26:01inspired by that programme, which I really enjoyed, I have to say.
26:04I've spoken before about midwife.
26:06Midwife is such a sort of strange word, really,
26:08but the mid here is from the German mit, meaning with,
26:11and wife was once a general term for all women.
26:13So when you say swearing like a fishwife,
26:15it actually just means a woman selling fish.
26:17She's not someone who was married in the earliest days.
26:21Doula, on the other hand, if you have a doula,
26:23that actually goes back to a Greek word meaning female servant,
26:25so they were especially employed for that specific purpose,
26:30but obviously it goes back a very long way.
26:33Placenta is quite an odd one.
26:35We always raise the controversial issue
26:38of whether you'd want to eat your placenta or not,
26:40but actually the etymology might help you there
26:42because it goes back to a word meaning a flat cake,
26:45believe it or not.
26:47Or a sort of flat plate.
26:48That's all to do with the shape.
26:50Umbilical.
26:51The umbilical cord.
26:53This one's quite nice.
26:54So it goes back to a Latin word umbo,
26:56which meant the boss of a shield,
26:58just as navel,
27:00and they all go back to the same ancient family,
27:01was the hub of a wheel.
27:03So it's that kind of central point, if you like,
27:06which is obviously crucial in so many ways.
27:09Obstetrics is quite a nice one as well
27:12because you'd never think that an obstetric nurse, for example,
27:16would be linked to obstacle,
27:18but they both go back to the Latin obstare,
27:20meaning to stand in front of.
27:22And that will give you a very vivid description
27:24of an obstetrician standing in front of a woman
27:27who is giving birth.
27:29You know, one of the sort of whole many responsibilities
27:31that they have.
27:32But anyway, there you go.
27:33Just inspired by that programme,
27:35which I thought was brilliant.
27:36Thank you for that, Suze.
27:40Well, we could be giving birth to a new octal champ,
27:43Harry Savage.
27:45He's got a win today, he's got a win tomorrow.
27:47He's been spectacular.
27:48Michael, you're doing very, very well indeed
27:51against a true great of Countdown.
27:53So, Michael, let's get some more letters.
27:54Thank you, Michael.
27:57R.
27:58And another.
28:00T.
28:01And another.
28:02M.
28:03And a vowel, please.
28:06E.
28:06And another vowel.
28:08A.
28:08And another vowel.
28:10O.
28:11And a fourth.
28:13A.
28:14And a consonant.
28:16M.
28:17And a final consonant.
28:20Final G.
28:22Countdown.

28:51How many, Michael?
28:54Six.
28:54And Harry?
28:56Six, but not run down.
28:58OK.
28:59What's your word, Harry?
29:00Orange.
29:01And Michael?
29:02Goater.
29:03Goater.
29:04More straightforward.
29:05And orage?
29:06OK, let me just check those.
29:08There's no goater, unfortunately.
29:09What?
29:09And orage is in, yes, rowing equipment.
29:13I would not have bet it that way round, of anything the other way.
29:16Anything else in the dictionary corner?
29:17What other Celtic word could we find?
29:20Erm, we've got an eight, actually.
29:24Erm, metagram.
29:25What's a metagram, Suze?
29:27It's one of those word games where you substitute a letter at every stage
29:31to go from one word to the other.
29:32Love those.
29:33So it will say, go from X to Y in five steps.
29:36And that's called a metagram.
29:37A metagram.
29:38Well done.
29:3989 plays 31.
29:41Harry, moving towards seven centuries on the bounce.
29:45Could get it here with a maximum.
29:47Last letters.
29:47Can I start with a consonant, please?
29:49Thank you, Harry.
29:49And a final consonant, please.
30:14And a final R.
30:16And last letters.
30:17Thank you, Harry.
30:18Thanks, Harry.
30:20Thanks very much.
30:20Thanks a lot.

30:46Time's up, Harry.
30:49A six.
30:50And Michael?
30:51A dodgy six.
30:52A dodgy six.
30:53That's how I like them.
30:54Harry?
30:54Lainier.
30:55And duied.
30:57Duied.
30:58How are you spelling it?
30:59Uh, J-U-R-I-E-D.
31:02Over to Sue's.
31:03OK, yeah.
31:04So, to jury something is to judge it in North American English,
31:08so that's absolutely fine.
31:09I have to say, I did not expect linier to be in.
31:12Edith had this as well.
31:13But, yes, it means marked with lines or wrinkled.
31:15More marked with lines and more wrinkled.
31:17There you go.
31:18Anything else?
31:19We had a single seven.
31:21Yeah, which was injured.
31:23Injured?
31:23Yeah.
