00:30Hello, everybody. It's the last countdown of the week. It is Friday and we are buzzing. Rachel Riley, how are you?
00:38Buzzing is perfect for your jumper, isn't it?
00:40Well, this is kind of a thing now, like a daft Friday jumper. Why not? And it is, yeah. It's the bees. 90% of wild plants, 75% of leading crops on this planet rely on pollination.
00:51Well, my little girl, she's three and a half and she's seen another little boy run around screaming because there's bees and I'm determined to say, no, no, we like bees.
00:59Because bees help us get flowers and she's coming around.
01:02Yeah. You like honey, right?
01:05Like a bit of honey?
01:06A little bit of honey.
01:07And you wouldn't think anything, would you, about a tablespoon full of honey, dollop it on a bit of porridge or whatever it is.
01:12The most a honeybee produces in its whole life, the most total is one tablespoon and very few do. Some only an eighth of a tablespoon of honey in their whole life.
01:26That's how precious they are. So every time you kind of rather blasé, tablespoon of honey, that's at the very most the life's work of a bee just so you can have that.
01:35Aren't they brilliant?
01:36Take it for granted, don't we?
01:38Listen, when it comes to words, they're like bees round honey in Dixonry Corner, aren't they?
01:42Susie Dent and Tom Reid-Wilson, a magic purring this week. How are you, Tom?
01:46Oh, great. We were delighting in your talk, too. We've been looking for collective nouns for bees.
01:53Swarms.
01:54Yes.
01:54What else?
01:55Hives.
01:56Hives.
01:56Drifts.
01:57Rables.
01:57Rables.
01:57Lots.
01:58Right, well, listen, halfway to becoming an octo-chump, George Baker. How are you?
02:04Yeah, very well.
02:04You're very laid back. Might have something to do with the fact recently you lived for a year in Amsterdam. How was that?
02:10Yeah, it was brilliant. Very good museums.
02:12Great museums.
02:12Brilliant museums.
02:13When I think Amsterdam, that's what I think. The Van Gogh Museum in particular is sensational.
02:17Stunning artwork, stunning galleries everywhere. Lots of amenities.
02:21You're up against Daryl Johnson today from Middlesbrough here with your dad. Lovely to have you.
02:26I find you very much. Great to be here.
02:28Good. And listen, you and I, we love a joke book. We love a silly joke.
02:32The cleaner the joke, the better for me. I think it's harder to have a funny, clean joke, if that makes sense.
02:38So, listen, come on. I know you love them. Give me your best.
02:41Well, we were talking about bees, so I'm going to say bee joke today.
02:45I was ordering 12 bees on Amazon, and when I opened the door to collect a delivery, 13 had come.
02:54I said, well, I'd only ordered 12. And the delivery guy said, oh, yeah, that's a freebie.
02:58Oh, that's sensational. That's very, very good indeed. Daryl, wonderful.
03:09Let's see if we can have the last laugh today. Good luck. Daryl and George.
03:15George, let's get letters.
03:17Hi, right, George.
03:17Hi, George.
03:18Start with a consonant, please.
03:19It's got to be a B.
03:20Start, no, P.
03:22And another, please.
03:23Keep going for a B.
03:24And another.
03:26Q.
03:28And a better one.
03:30R.
03:31And a vowel, please.
03:32O.
03:33And another.
03:34E.
03:35And another.
03:37U.
03:38And another.
03:41E.
03:42And a final consonant, please.
03:44And a final H.
03:46At home and in the studio for the last time this week, let's play Kind Time.
04:19That is time.
04:21George?
04:21Six.
04:22Six.
04:22And Daryl?
04:23Just a five.
04:24A five.
04:25What's the word, Daryl?
04:26Queer.
04:26Queer.
04:27And what's your six?
04:28Humper.
04:29I think we're OK with queer, unless humper's connected to a whale, I'm not sure.
04:33It's not in, I'm afraid.
04:35I did look it up.
04:35Humper, but not humper.
04:37OK, there you go.
04:39Anything else, Tom?
04:41For six, rehome.
04:43Nice.
04:44Yeah.
04:44It was a really tough one to start with.
04:45Yeah, a really tough opening rhyme, but Daryl doesn't care.
04:49He's stolen the five points.
04:51And you're behind again, champ.
04:53Same as yesterday at this stage.
04:54Off you go, Daryl.
04:55Letters.
04:56Good afternoon, Murchell.
04:57Afternoon, Daryl.
04:58Could I start with a consonant, please?
05:00You could.
05:01Start with R.
05:02And a vowel, please.
05:05I.
05:07Another one.
05:09A.
05:10Another one.

05:28And a final consonant, please.
05:32Final L.
05:3330 seconds.
05:34It's a vowel, please.
05:411.
05:462.
05:47And a vowel, please.
05:48How do you get on, Daryl?
06:07I'll go whiskey six.
06:09And George?
06:10I'll just stick with a safe five.
06:11The five is?
06:12Fails.
06:13And here you go, it's rules reversed.
06:15Daryl?
06:16Fails.
06:17Fails.
06:19Fails.
06:19Hmm.
06:20Not sure we can put the S on it.
06:22Oh, actually, I'm completely wrong.
06:24In US English, frail is or was a woman.
06:28So women.
06:28Frails.
06:29Yeah, I'm not sure I like that.
06:30But anyway, it's in the dictionary.
06:32Well done.
06:32Do not like it at all.
06:33But he likes it for six points, that's for sure.
06:3511-0 as it stands at the moment.
06:38Can you take me higher, Tom Reed Wilson?
06:40Well, we've got nine.
06:42No, come on, you don't with those letters.
06:44I say we...
06:44Tom got this really quickly,
06:46so I'm taking no credit for this.
06:48Yeah.
06:48Familiars.
06:50Familiars?
06:51You can pluralise familiar?
06:52You can, yes.
06:52So a witch's familiar is,
06:54it often takes the form of an animal,
06:56it's like an attendant spirit
06:57that helps a witch out.
06:59Beautiful.
06:59Yeah.
07:03Etymological sorcery there from Tom Reed Wilson.

12:44Unseat, as in a politician gets unseated in an election.
12:48Oh, yes.
12:49Yeah, very, very clever. Any other words?
12:51No, we were hoping for unstaged, but that's not in unstaged,
12:54but not without.
12:56That's good. That would have been salt in the wounds for Daryl.
12:58I'm glad about that.
12:59Lady to my right might have something.
13:01Well, listen, anything that you said's just been negated.
13:04Rich O'Reilly has struck gold.
13:07Well done, Rich.
13:08APPLAUSE
13:09We like you again.
13:12Back to the numbers, so the jury's out.
13:17Daryl, you're picking. What's your strategy?
13:19Two large, please.
13:19Two large, four little.
13:21Let's see if we can find an interesting one amongst these.
13:24Your numbers are ten.
13:25Ten.
13:26Six.
13:28Four.
13:29And the large two, 100.
13:30And one, or 125.
13:33And the target, 252.

14:042-5 to the target. You get it, Daryl?
14:14Yeah.
14:15And George?
14:15Daryl, off you go.
14:1725 times 10 is 250, and then 6-4 is 2.
14:22Yeah, and George?
14:23Same way.
14:26And breaking news, Daryl beat me at XEO's East during that game.
14:31That's a countdown first, but I'm sick of just sitting about for ones like that.
14:35Well done, Daryl. Got it.
14:3831 plays 28. What a good game today.
14:41You've got to thank George for that.
14:42It's always eventful one way or the other when you're in the Champions chair.
14:45Let's get to Dixonry Corner.
14:47Our last time talking to Tom Reid-Wilson on his debut.
14:50It's flown by this week.
14:51It's through our fingers like bathwater, hasn't it, this week?
14:54Really did.
14:55I mentioned earlier in the week that I know you for 100 things,
14:59but you're multi-talented.
15:00But if you're a TV junkie, it might be Celebs Go Dating, which is on Channel 4.
15:06How did that come about then?
15:08Oh, in the most convoluted way.
15:10I spent my 20s, as my dad would say, living off the smell of an oily rag.
15:16Sort of just about getting enough acting jobs to survive.
15:20And I did a terrible murder mystery play.
15:22It was the last play I did for a very long time called Sweet Revenge at the Theatre Royal Windsor.
15:28And I thought, I've got to do something to kind of penetrate the upper echelons.
15:32So I secretly auditioned for The Voice.
15:35But I flopped terribly.
15:37But the show was so generous to me.
15:39And they played my whole song and my whole exchange with the judges and my whole interview.
15:44And that kindness meant that there was sort of eight minutes of me.
15:48And the lady that was casting Celebs Go Dating at the time said,
15:51Well, we want a sort of welcoming committee and you might fit the bill.
15:56And she said, if we don't like you, you'll end up on the cutting room floor.
16:00So no one will know you were there.
16:02And you can kind of shape the role independently.
16:05And I thought, that's wonderful.
16:07I can't really go wrong.
16:09Because if I am wrong, I'll be invisible.
16:12Yeah.
16:12Thank you, mate.
16:13Cheers.
16:17Let's get back to reality.
16:18What a reality it is.
16:20Just three-point lead at the moment for our champion, George.
16:23And you're picking these letters.
16:25Consonant, please, Rachel.
16:26Thank you, George.
16:27K.
16:28And another.
16:29R.
16:30And another.
16:32W.
16:33And a vowel, please.
16:35I.
16:36And another.
16:37O.
16:37And another.
16:39I.
16:39Consonant, please.
16:41R.
16:42And a vowel, please.
16:45A.
16:46And a final consonant.
16:48And a final N.
16:49And start the clock.
16:50R.
16:51And start the clock.
16:52George, six.
17:22Daryl? Just a four.
17:25Yeah, the four is?
17:26Work. Work.
17:28And the six?
17:29Narrow.
17:30Narrow. Well spotted.
17:32APPLAUSE
17:34I reckon it is a narrow window to get a six there.
17:38A lot of people would have struggled. How did you get on?
17:40So narrow, that was the only word we had.
17:42Really? Yeah.
17:43There you go, brilliant work, brilliant work.
17:45That's what a champion does.
17:46You're still very much in this, Daryl.
17:48Let's get more letters.
17:50A consonant, please.
17:51Thank you, Daryl.
17:53And another?
17:55L.
17:57Another.
17:58T.
18:00A vowel, please.
18:01I.
18:03And another vowel, please.
18:04U.
18:06A consonant, please.

18:10Another.
18:11B.
18:12B.
18:13Vowel, please.
18:14A.
18:15And a...
18:18Another vowel, please.
18:20And lastly, E.
18:22Here we go.
18:23Here we go.
18:24B.
18:25B.
18:26B.
18:27B.
18:28B.
18:29B.
18:30B.
18:31B.
18:32B.
18:33Daryl.
18:34A.
18:35B.
18:37B.
18:38B.
18:39Daryl?
18:56Four, not waiting down.
18:57No worries. And George?
18:58Seven.
18:59A seven. Right, what's a four, Daryl?
19:01Melt.
19:02Melt. You're melding at the moment.
19:04I know.
19:05George?
19:06Ambient.
19:06Ambient.
19:07Listen, if ever two words summed up the current place you're both in,
19:11it was that.
19:12Melt and ambient.
19:14That's a lovely seven.
19:16To Dictionary Corner.
19:17Yes, it was.
19:18We could get two and eight, couldn't we, with a couple of words.
19:21Yes, unitable.
19:23And bailment, which is, in law,
19:25an act of delivering goods to a bailee for a particular purpose.
19:29Seven points, though, goes to George.
19:31Goes to show how well Daryl's doing, that it's still so close.
19:34So, time to gather yourself for the numbers in George.
19:37Can I have the usual, Rachel?
19:39The usual?
19:39You have a usual now?
19:41You've been here that long, part of the furniture?
19:43Six little ones coming up, George.
19:45And this time, they are three, three, ten, five, seven, and eight.
19:53And your target, 186.
19:55186.
19:56Numbers up.
19:57Three, four, five, six, six.
20:271-8-6 the target, George. 1-8-6. Got there, Daryl. No, 1-8-5.
20:31Missed it, one away. Could cost you ten points, Mr Baker.
20:35Seven times ten. Seven times ten, seventy. Minus eight. Minus eight, sixty-two.
20:41Times three. Nicely done, 1-8-6.
20:43APPLAUSE
20:46So much to like about you, George, but not during the numbers, right?
20:50And Be Sorted is the second tea-time teaser of the afternoon.
20:54Be Sorted. It would be rather sordid, if you did this in public.
20:59It would be rather sordid, if you did this in public.
21:02MUSIC
21:05APPLAUSE
21:10APPLAUSE
21:13Welcome back to the second tea-time teaser of the day.
21:20Be Sorted becomes disrobed.
21:22You would be rather sordid, if you did this in public.
21:25You'd be rather arrested, hopefully, as well.
21:2854 plays 28. Six rounds left today.
21:31Daryl still within touch.
21:33Don't stop believing. Let's get more letters.
21:35Can I have a consonant, please?
21:37Thank you, Daryl.

21:57And a final I.
21:58Let's play.
21:59A consonant.
22:00T.
22:01And a final vowel, please.
22:04And a final I.
22:06Let's play.
22:08A consonant.
22:31DJ?
22:43I'll try a six.
22:44Yes, and George?
22:45Seven.
22:46And the seven.
22:46What are you trying, Daryl?
22:48Cotted.
22:48Cotted and the seven?
22:51Dottier.
22:51Oh, yeah, what a lovely little word that is, dottier.
22:54Yes.
22:55It is no cottage, unfortunately.
22:57But, yes, dottier is great.
22:59You have that.
22:59Yes, yes.
23:00I would describe that as a term of endearment, in a way,
23:03if I said, oh, you're dottier today than usual.
23:06I think it's nice, isn't it?
23:07I think so.
23:08It's a gentle insult.
23:09It is.
23:10Yeah.
23:10It is.
23:11Like the word.
23:11You'd only say it affectionately, wouldn't you?
23:13Yes, yes, you would do.
23:14You'd only say it to someone you loved.
23:15Do you know what I mean?
23:16Oh, you're dottie.
23:17Yeah.
23:18Right, more letters from George.
23:20Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
23:22Thank you, George.
23:23P.
23:23And another one.
23:26L.
23:26And another.
23:28S.
23:28And another.
23:29Y.
23:31And a vowel, please.
23:32U.
23:33And another.
23:35O.
23:35And another.
23:37E.
23:38And a consonant, please.
23:40D.
23:41And one more vowel, please.
23:42Lastly, E.
23:44Good luck.
24:16That'll be time-up, George? Six. And Daryl? Seven. Look at this, he's back in the saddle. What's the six? Loist. Loist. And trying to stop the rod, Daryl? Deploys. Deploys. Yep, in the dictionary. Very well done. Nice one, nice one. Anything else from Tom and Susie? No, I only had pseudo for six. Yes? Yes, I'm afraid. No good. You could put the extra E in to loist and have D loist, and that would take you to six.
24:46Seven. That would have got you the share of the points, but they go to Daryl. Keeps everything alive with four rounds left, but it's our final origins of words of the week. We've been into the spice rack, we've been into the periodic table. Where are we going to finish the week?
25:01Yes. I'm not sure that I'm going to go to a place that's familiar to many, because I was going to start off by talking about a particular cigar, but it's a word that comes up on Countdown quite a lot, which is a stogie.
25:12An stogie is a long, thin, I think sort of slightly cheap cigar. I just happened across this. I didn't know where it came from, actually, because I don't think I'd ever interrogated it.
25:22But it actually goes back to the township of Conestoga in Pennsylvania in the US, and it's all to do with the smoking habits of the drivers of the Conestoga wagons.
25:33Now, these wagons were in the 19th and 18th century, and for any of you who, like me, loved Little House on the Prairie, you will remember they're sort of quite heavy, covered wagons drawn by horses, and you just see them going across, you know, vast tranches of land.
25:50So anyone who was driving one was thought to, you know, smoke one of these stogies.
25:56Cigar itself, it's a lovely theory about this one, which is that it goes back to, or at least is a sibling of, the cicada, the insect.
26:05And the idea is that they actually looked very similar, and for a long time that actually was the etymology listed in the dictionary.
26:11But now we think, through further detective work, that it actually goes back to a word meaning to smoke, a Malay word, in fact.
26:17And staying with smoke, we have it cropping up in slightly unexpected places, so we have it in perfume, which, perfumare, which is to smoke, so the idea was of burning incense, and ultimately incense can smell quite exquisite, and so that gave us the perfume that we know today.
26:35And one of my favourites is camouflage.
26:37So camouflage has gone through many different languages, had quite a journey, but we think ultimately it goes back to a French word, camoufler, which means a puff of smoke in someone's face.
26:48So if you are trying to disguise something and being a little bit secretive, you blow smoke in someone's eyes and they can't see what you're up to.
26:57That is the camouflage, which leads me finally to an idiom, which, let's just say it's blowing smoke up someone's bottom, shall we put it that way?
27:06Actually, we might go back to tobacco enemas that were once a very big thing, thought to cure all sorts of ailments, and then discovered to be probably a bit useless and maybe even bogus,
27:16which is why we get the modern meaning of just having someone on or pulling their leg.
27:20Yeah. Well done.
27:25You know, I can only think of one reference to stogies anywhere, and it's in a song, which wants to set you, oh, yeah, a king of the road.
27:33I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road.
27:37Old classic song references, smoking old stogies off the ground, you know.
27:4261 plays 35, four rounds left.
27:45Daryl, you've got momentum again, let's get some letters.
27:48Start with a vowel this time, please.
27:51Thank you, Daryl.
27:52I.
27:53A consonant.
27:55F.
27:57Another.
27:59S.
28:00Another.
28:02S.
28:03A vowel.
28:04A.
28:06Another, please.
28:08O.
28:09A consonant.
28:11D.
28:14Another vowel, please.
28:16A.
28:18And a consonant, please.
28:22And a final T.
28:2430 seconds, no Fs, no Buts.
28:26Let's do it.
28:39M.O.N.E.
28:39A.
28:44A era.
28:44A.
28:45A.
28:46A.
28:48A.
28:48A.
28:49A.
28:49B.
28:50A.
28:51A.
28:51Daryl?
28:58I'll whisk a five.
28:59OK, and George?
29:00Six.
29:01Oh, he's got the six, so it's not risky at all now, Daryl.
29:03What is it?
29:05I put seds, but with a S on the end.
29:08Yes, seds, OK, yes.
29:10And George?
29:11Foists.
29:12Foists.
29:14Foists, fine, no seds, unfortunately.
29:16Yeah, sorry.
29:17But foists will get you a six point.
29:20Anything above a six?
29:21Well, we have the rather delicious stefado.
29:24Yes.
29:25Yes.
29:25Lovely, which would be...
29:27For seven.
29:27For seven.
29:28Rachel's got a question for you.
29:29Can you order two in a restaurant?
29:31I think you could.
29:31This is a Greek dish of meat.
29:32It's got onions, sometimes tomatoes.
29:35We have that countdown rule, don't we?
29:36So, unofficially, I think we can have a couple of stefados.
29:41Yes.
29:42We'll allow Rachel to have it.
29:43OK, well done, stefados.
29:45APPLAUSE
29:4667.35.
29:50That really doesn't tell the tale of today's programme.
29:53It's been a real nip and tuck, hasn't it, all the way?
29:55You should be so proud, Daryl, of your performance.
29:58One more letters round then, and George, you're picking.
30:00Consonant, please, Rachel.
30:02Thank you, George.
30:02And another.
30:03And another.
30:04P.
30:05And another.
30:06N.
30:07And a vowel, please.
30:09U.
30:10And another.
30:11E.
30:11And another.
30:12O.
30:13And a consonant, please.
30:15S.
30:16And another.
30:18G.
30:19A final vowel, please.
30:20A final.
30:22E.
30:23Yeah, last letters.
30:24A final vowel, please.
30:54George.
30:55Six.
30:56And Daryl.
30:57Five again.
30:58No worries.
30:58What's the five?
30:59Sean.
31:00And George.
31:01Sponge.
31:02And a sponge.
31:03Very good indeed.
31:05That'll soak up another six points.
31:06Anything from Susie and Tom?
31:09Pongies for seven.
31:11Well, I think we have to take the S off and have just pongie this time.
31:14Oh!
31:15It's a mass noun.
31:16It's an unbleached type of Chinese fabric with threads of raw silk.
31:2073-35.
31:22It's another win for George.
31:23He's lasted the whole week.
31:25That doesn't really tell the story of today's game.
31:27It's felt a lot closer.
31:29Just a little dip in the middle.
31:30Daryl.
31:31That's all it was.
31:32And all of a sudden, it's out of reach.
31:34Let's get the final numbers and have some fun.
31:35One large.
31:36One large.
31:37Five little to finish the week off.
31:41And this final numbers game is...
31:43Six, four, nine, five, two, 50.
31:49And the all-important target, 933.
31:52933.
31:53Numbers up.
31:54And the...
31:54niners.
31:54And the...
31:56Six, five, three, five.
31:57And the...
31:59Six.
32:00Five, three.
32:02And the...
32:04So...
32:06Bye.
32:07Bye.
32:20Bye.
32:21Bye.
32:24933, the target. Daryl? 940. 947 away. I think Mr. Moss here is going to get it.
32:33No, it's just 934. OK, off you go. 9 times 2 times 50. 9 times 2, 18 times 50 is 900.
32:41And then 6 times 5. Is 30. Plus 4. And that gets you to 1 away.
32:46The last numbers of the week, Rachel, I'm going to need you to step up to the plate.
32:50Well, while I'm standing here, out of time, but 50 plus 4.
32:5654 times 2, 108. Less 5, 103 times 9. 927 adds 6, 933.
33:06Yeah. APPLAUSE
33:10It's a good way to go out. Well, we're not actually done yet,
33:13because we have our countdown conundrums, so a chance, Daryl, for you to steal
33:16a big ten points here. George, this will take you to 90 for your
33:19fifth win, so let's get your fingers on the buzzers as we reveal
33:23Friday's countdown conundrum.
33:33Go on, George. Underhand. Underhand, says George. And he'd be right.
33:38APPLAUSE
33:40There you go. Daryl, didn't work out for you in countdown.
33:43Beat me at Xeozzi's. Told a brilliant joke on national TV. That's a win to me.
33:49Well, I'm happy with that, to be honest. Yeah, very nice to have you.
33:52And George, you get to behave yourself at the weekend. No music festivals, any of that?
33:56Can't make any promises. I know, because you'd break them, I'd imagine.
34:00I think so anyway. Really looking forward to seeing you on Monday.
34:03Can't wait to be back. But not you. Alas, it's been a joy to have you?
34:07No, alas. I know. It's been so lovely. Thank you very much for having me.
34:11I've got some breaking news for you all in terms of Dictionary Corner.
34:15We welcome back a former host of this show, Geoff Stelling.
34:20Unbelievable, Colin. We'll see you at the same time, same place.
34:24Susie, Rachel, I and Geoff will be here. You can count on us.
