00:30Hello, hello. Welcome to Countdown this Tuesday afternoon.
00:35Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:36We never take it for granted, even all these years later.
00:40And every time you do tune in, guaranteed to get a new show.
00:42No repeats, no reruns, no best of.
00:46Our clock never stops. Football never stops.
00:50Feels like it's been away for no time at all,
00:52with all the internationals and everything else.
00:54Premier League back, Rachel, this weekend.
00:57Hooray!
00:58Well, more hooray for me, I think.
01:00Maybe for you this season, but we'll see.
01:02We'll see what happens.
01:03Too cocky too soon, Colin.
01:04Before a ball's kicked, that could come back to haunt me.
01:08Round about this time in 1999,
01:11a young promising footballer was winging it from Monaco
01:14to what would have been Highbury at that time.
01:17They'd put pen to paper alongside Arsene Wenger.
01:20Who was it?
01:21Terry.
01:22Tezza.
01:23T-Dog.
01:23Terry Henry.
01:24Terry Henry, him.
01:26£11 million, which back then, wow, what a signing that was.
01:29I worked it out.
01:29About £57,000 a goal in the Premier League,
01:33which would be good value these days.
01:35Bargain, isn't it?
01:36£57,000 a goal, wow.
01:37Listen, I mentioned Terry Henry and right now,
01:40Neil Delamere in Dictionary Corner is raging
01:43because, as I mentioned yesterday in the programme,
01:46Terry Henry handled the ball,
01:48Republic of Ireland knocked out of the World Cup qualifier
01:51and he'll never forgive him.
01:52Don't matter how good he is as a player.
01:54What player do you hate to love or love to hate?
01:58I think back to when Torres used to play against Nemanja Vidic
02:02in our central defence and I saw them play against each other
02:05live a few times and obviously you see then what's not on camera.
02:09So you see the kind of squabbles that's going on all through the match.
02:13He was such a dirty player that you would really want on your side.
02:17I don't know where the love comes in in that,
02:18but definitely a player that you'd want on your side anyway.
02:21It's so strange as a United fan that you picked out Fernando Torres
02:24because, of course, we idolised him,
02:27but then a few things said in his interview when he went to Chelsea
02:30caused real ire on the cup and the flag actually was
02:34we hate you because we loved you.
02:38So you picked the absolute perfect player.
02:40Wonderful stuff.
02:41Well, listen, looking forward to getting the Premier League back,
02:44looking forward to all football coming back in every division.
02:47It's just a way of life over here.
02:49Let's get over to Dictionary Corner and say hello again to someone
02:52while shivers ran down her spine at the mere suggestion of Arsene Wenger.
02:57As always, Susie Dent is here, as is, as I say, our head the ball,
03:02our comedian Neil Delamere.
03:04Hi, Neil.
03:07And, wow, we've just about recovered from yesterday.
03:09Quinn Bartlett is our new champion, scored 124 on his debut.
03:14And, listen, Quinn, you've got three maximums, three nines.
03:18And I want to know, for you, was that uncommon?
03:21Have you ever even managed it at home?
03:23Oh, every game.
03:25Come on, tell the truth, because I want to know what's in store.
03:29I think I've done that once while watching on TV before.
03:31OK, well, the expectations are very high.
03:33The bar has been raised, so good luck to you today.
03:35124 on your debut.
03:37You'll be taking on Thomas Ellington.
03:39Thomas, delight to have you here.
03:42And, listen, Quinn is a professional poker player,
03:47which I didn't think we could get any more cooler pastimes than that.
03:51But get ready to be wide, because you are a regional Skittles champion.
03:55Yes, we did win the league this year, Division III,
03:59in the small town where I live, yes.
04:01So, hold on, let me just get this clear,
04:04because there'll be paparazzi outside.
04:07You are the third division Tewksbury Skittles champion.
04:13I am, yes.
04:14Wonderful stuff.
04:14One of.
04:15Wonderful stuff.
04:16We'll all sign NDAs before we leave the studio.
04:18We won't talk about this until it's aired.
04:21Quinn, brilliant to have you back.
04:22Thomas, your work's cut out for you, but you're a champion already,
04:25so let's see what happens.
04:29OK, Quinn, first letters.

09:21Welcome back to Tea Time Teaser.
09:23There was Ogle's Tuna, the seafood fan ogles the tuna
09:26but decides to have this instead.
09:29Well, regular viewers should have gotten this
09:31because it's long-goost, which we all know is a spiny lobster.
09:36We do.
09:36I've been discovering quite a bit
09:37because the spiny lobster isn't a true lobster.
09:40It looks like one, but actually they're unrelated.
09:43There you go.
09:44We had it the other week.
09:45It comes up again.
09:46Every day's a school day.
09:48Well, listen, Thomas, given Quinn's debut performance,
09:50you had a really good first part.
09:52There really is nothing in it.
09:53So let's get some more letters.
09:55Start with a vowel, please, Rachel.
09:56Thank you, Thomas.
09:57Thank you, Rachel.
10:51Thomas.
10:52Just a six.
10:53Quinn?
10:55I should try a seven.
10:56Oh, let's try it.
10:57Quinn, what have you got?
10:57Unloops.
10:58Okay, and what's the six?
11:00Planes.
11:01Okay, well, planes, there you go.
11:02Will the six count or will unloops count?
11:05It is in to unfastened by undoing a loop.
11:07Big seven points from our champion.
11:09I don't care what you actually manage, Neil.
11:11I just want to hear you rhyme it.
11:15We're in seven heaven over here because I got unspooled.
11:20But, yeah, no, I'm not rhyming the word with the score anymore, I'm afraid.
11:24Well, you're no fool.
11:24I made a ride for my own back.
11:26You're no fool.
11:27You got unspooled.
11:28Well done.
11:29Brilliant.
11:29Lovely stuff.
11:30Quinn, your letters.
11:30A consonant, please, Rachel.
11:32Thank you, Quinn.

11:57Here we go.
12:04E.
12:28Quinn.
12:29A seven.
12:29And Thomas.
12:30Just a five.
12:31What's the five, Thomas?
12:32Duked.
12:33And Quinn.
12:33Tweaked.
12:34Tweet.
12:35Tweet.
12:35The duke.
12:36So Neil and Susie.
12:37Duked is there as a verb, and it means to fight it out.
12:41Very, very good.
12:42I think we first used that word, growing up in Deadwood, together.
12:46Yeah.
12:47When you came over the prairie on that wagon, and I first fired you.
12:50When you ran down at the start of Little House on the Prairie, we fought.
12:54Yeah.
12:55We duked it out.
12:56Absolutely.
12:57Well, what a duel we've got going on today.
12:59Quinn's riding shotgun.
13:00It's time for the numbers, though, from Thomas.
13:03Two large and four small, please, Rachel.
13:06You're not gabbling just yet.
13:08Keeping your cool.
13:09Two large, four little coming up.
13:11And the four small ones for this round are six, four, ten, and one.
13:17And the large two, 75 and 50.
13:19And the target to reach 353.
13:22Time for another showdown.
13:24Time for another show.
13:36Our time's up, Thomas.
13:563-5-3.
13:57Yeah, and Quinn.
13:59I've messed it up again.
14:00Sorry, 3-5.
14:02Oh, no, it's 3-5-4, yeah, 3-5-4.
14:04Yeah, I've got a tick.
14:05I've messed it up as your first answer.
14:08So it'll be 10 points for Thomas.
14:09If you haven't messed it up.
14:124 times 75 is 300.
14:14Yep.
14:15Add the 50 for 350.
14:17Yep.
14:18Add the 10 for 360.
14:20Take away the 6 and the 1.
14:22Perfect, 3-5-3.
14:26Quinn, second day, phenomenal on the letters.
14:29You're good at the numbers at home,
14:30so just waiting for that penny to drop.
14:33Embarrassingly bad so far.
14:34Don't worry.
14:35Listen, 124 in your debut.
14:37I wish I was that embarrassingly bad at Countdown.
14:40Right, let's go to Dexterity Corner and Neil Delamere.
14:43What are we talking about today?
14:45Today, the nameplates of the guys put something into my head.
14:48I don't know if I've ever told you about the time I was doing the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
14:51And I was celebrating and I was cycling home.
14:54I had a couple of drinks in me and I accidentally broke a red light on my bike.
14:57And then the blue lights came on behind me and then I accidentally broke another red light.
15:01And I was like, God, who is it, Jason, I wonder?
15:02And then the siren came on.
15:05And I was like, God, they're really serious now.
15:06And I was like, I cycle down a hill.
15:08And then they caught up with me and the guy pulled me in.
15:10And obviously, you shouldn't do this.
15:12And I was kind of unaware.
15:14And he stopped me.
15:15And he said, do you know why I stopped you?
15:18I always wonder how many people to catch with that sentence.
15:21Like, you know, you pulled over in the bus lane.
15:22Do you know why I stopped you?
15:23Is this about the murder?
15:24No, don't check the boot.
15:26So he says, do you know why I stopped you?
15:27And I don't know if you do this, but I thought I would fiddly diddly dee it up a bit to try and get away with this.
15:32I said, no, sorry about that.
15:34And then he said, I could have saved your life tonight.
15:37And I said, why?
15:38And he goes, well, if you cycle to the next junction, you could have been hit by a car.
15:41And I thought, yeah, but if you hadn't pulled me over, I would be home by now.
15:45But I didn't say that to him.
15:46Then he said to me, what's your name?
15:48Right.
15:48And I didn't want to give him my name because I don't just to go anywhere, you know.
15:53So he said, what's your name?
15:54And I said, my name's John Thomas.
15:56I just made up a name.
15:57And he goes, really?
15:57And I said, yeah, it's absolutely John Alexander Thomas.
15:59I gave myself a middle name.
16:01And he went, oh, John Thomas, okay.
16:02He goes, you know, because it's, you know, it's a lie.
16:06It's an offence to lie to a police officer.
16:07And I said, absolutely.
16:08And he goes, okay, you're sticking with John Thomas.
16:09And I said, yeah.
16:10And he goes, because it says Neil Della Bear on that poster behind your head.
16:14I had stopped in front of my own Edinburgh Fringe Festival poster that told him my name, my likeness, and where I was going to be for the next 25 nights.
16:25Mortal.
16:25Brilliant.
16:26What was the outcome of it?
16:28Did he have a personality?
16:29Three to five years.
16:30No, I don't even know.
16:36There you go.
16:36Thank you, Neil.
16:37Right, let's get back to the game and champ.
16:40It's your letters.
16:41I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
16:43Thank you, Quinn.
16:44P.
16:45And a vowel.
16:48A.
16:48And a consonant.
16:50S.
16:51And a vowel.
16:53O.
16:53And a consonant.
16:54A consonant, please, Rachel.
17:00H.
17:01And a vowel.
17:03E.
17:04And a consonant to finish, please.
17:06And to finish, T.
17:08Good luck.
17:08Good luck.
17:24How do you get on, Thomas?
17:40Six.
17:41And Quinn?
17:42Also six.
17:43Okay, what's the six, Quinn?
17:44Photos.
17:45Thomas, anything else?
17:46I put pathos.
17:47Oh, very good.
17:48Pathos.
17:49Yes.
17:49Very good word.
17:50And photos.
17:51So two sixes, which keeps the score really, really interesting.
17:54Neil, anything else?
17:55No, no, I didn't see anything else.
17:57Photos for six was the only one that jumped out at me, I'm afraid.
17:59What about, I know we're both big Cher fans.
18:01Yeah.
18:02The shoop, shoop song.
18:03Is shoop actually a word?
18:05Shoop.
18:05And does, what does it mean?
18:07No, it's not in.
18:09Right.
18:09But I can help you because you can put the E in photo.
18:11If you're actually using it as a verb, she photos me all the time.
18:15It's O-E-S.
18:16So that will take you to a seven.
18:18I was really hoping for P-shoot, but it's hyphenated.
18:21There you go.
18:22But photos would have got you seven spelled that way, as it was honours even.
18:25Just 11 points between our champion and challenger, and it's Thomas picking the letters.
18:30Start with the vowel again, please, Rachel.
18:32Okay, Thomas.
18:33I.
18:33And another.
18:35U.
18:36And another.
18:37E.
18:38And a consonant, please.
18:40L.
18:41And another.
18:42R.
18:43And another.
18:45M.
18:46And another.
18:48V.
18:49And a vowel.
18:52E.
18:53And a final consonant, please.
18:54And a final S.
18:5730 seconds.
19:00How'd you get on, Thomas?
19:30Six.
19:31Could you better that?
19:32Seven.
19:33Thomas, let's have your six.
19:34Emulse.
19:35Will the seven stick, Quinn?
19:36Relives.
19:37Relives.
19:38Absolutely.
19:39No, emulse, I'm afraid.
19:41Relives, absolutely fine.
19:42Absolutely for the seven.
19:43Neil, anything else, mate?
19:44Yeah, there's one that you won't be disgusted by, but it is Revolse.
19:48Seven.
19:49Revolse for seven.
19:50Good stuff.
19:50Well, listen, so far, Quinn's been revolved by the numbers.
19:54Let's see if we can put that right, champion, because you're choosing.
19:57So, your fate's in your own hands.
19:59One large, please.
20:00Oh, I thought you were going to say six more.
20:02Not until I start doing better.
20:04It's the one large that's not working for you.
20:06You should change tack.
20:07Trying to convince you to do something else.
20:09Right.
20:10Five little, as requested.
20:11Three.
20:12Four.
20:13Four.
20:14Ten.
20:15Five and the big one.
20:16One hundred.
20:17And the target.
20:20837.
20:20Numbers up.
20:21The on the.
20:26Two.
20:39Two.
20:40You.
20:40Yeah.
20:40Two.
20:41Five.
20:41837, Quinn.
20:54Yeah, 837.
20:55There you go. And, Thomas?
20:56836.
20:57836, Quinn, here you go.
20:59If I haven't made a mistake this time.
21:01So, 100 minus 10.
21:03100 minus 10, 90.
21:05Plus 3.
21:06Yeah, you haven't made a mistake. 93.
21:08And 5 plus 4.
21:09Is 9.
21:10Times them.
21:11Perfect.
21:12837.
21:16Feeling better?
21:17Not yet.
21:19Right, let's have a break then.
21:21Sale items is your second tea time teaser of today.
21:23Sale items.
21:25The items were in the sale, but they'd only been reduced by the smallest amount.
21:29The items were in the sale, but they'd only been reduced by the smallest amount.
21:32Measliest, measliest, measliest, is the answer to the tea time teaser.
21:58Listen, I think, Neil, for both of us, we had that stage of our careers where we were trying
22:02to make every penny stretch.
22:04Mine was working at McDonald's when I started as a journalist.
22:07Did you ever used to hang around a bread counter?
22:10Did I ever hang around a bread counter?
22:11For the bread to be reduced.
22:13For the bread to be reduced.
22:13For the scraps.
22:13You knew exactly what time of the day everything was getting reduced at?
22:19No.
22:21Just me then.
22:22Just you.
22:22And I feel this is some sort of a cry for help, but I think your opening autobiography
22:27chapter would be a bit more interesting than mine.
22:29I was hanging around, brought in by the spread smell of bread.
22:33Yeah, there you go.
22:34Now you're on countdown.
22:35There you go, yeah, absolutely.
22:36Still hanging around bread counters, though.
22:38All right, Thomas, let's get some more letters.

23:47RAID. And Quinn, five will take it.
23:49RADIO. And RADIO. Let's tune in to Dictionary Corner.
23:54I think you're going to better this.
23:56No, we've two. We've got radio. And also, if you're into your radio comedy, Goody.
24:03Goody's, but G-O-O-D-Y.
24:06Yeah, wonderful stuff. There you go. Five points for Quinn then as we move on to your letters.

24:51I'm going to mix it up with another vowel, please.
24:52Pairn's down, Quinn and Thomas. What are your manners, Thomas?
25:12Six.
25:13Six for you, and Quinn?
25:14Seven.
25:14And a seven. The six is, Thomas?
25:16Unites.
25:17Very good indeed. And Quinn?
25:19Puniest.
25:20Yes, puniest.
25:21Six is the strongest word. We could find, I think, anything better than that.
25:25No. Nothing longer than seven. We had puniest as well. A few fives and sixes there, but no.
25:32That's it. There you go. So we got puniest at home. You did very, very well indeed.
25:37If you're not doing too well today, time to gather your thoughts, draw some breaths, recharge the batteries as we get some more origins of words with Susie.
25:46Colin, you have an uncanny ability to predict what it is I'm going to talk about.
25:50Talking about recharge, I'm actually going to talk about electricity.
25:52Wow.
25:53And that was to link into Thierry Henry, who was obviously very electric on the pitch.
25:57Sorry about that, Neil.
25:57But just the origin of electricity I really love because it's really surprising.
26:04It comes from the Greek for amber electron.
26:07And that was, well, obviously it's a precious stone.
26:09It's traditionally used in jewellery making, etc.
26:11But the ancients, the scientists in ancient times discovered that when you rub amber, it creates this static electricity.
26:19So it was able to attract very light objects such as feathers, for example, or a piece of straw, paper.
26:26And when electricity was then fully discovered, electron was then applied to the charge rather than to the stone that was attracting all these objects.
26:33So I love that because you just would never guess it.
26:35And sticking with energy sources, diesel has a really interesting story.
26:40This one's an eponym named after Rudolf Diesel.
26:43He was a French-born German engineer and he was an inventor of the diesel engine, so important from that perspective.
26:49But he died within very, very mysterious circumstances, a little bit like Robert Maxwell.
26:54He disappeared on a crossing of the English Channel on the SS Dresden.
26:58His nightclothes were all laid out for him, but he never got in them.
27:01And there was, in his diary, there was an X marked on the day that he died.
27:06So nobody quite knows what happened there, but that's an eponym.
27:09And gas, finally, is another, I think, quite an interesting one, named by J.B. van Helmont,
27:15who was the first scientist to realise that there were gases other than the air.
27:18He also discovered carbon dioxide.
27:20And again, this is the surprise, because he named gas after the Greek chaos, chaos, believe it or not.
27:27And that's because he saw gas as this kind of unpredictable, slightly occult thing that he believed to exist in all matter.
27:35So the most everyday words for us is if you delve a little bit into a bit of word detection, you get to the just most wonderful stories.
27:42Beautiful.
27:46Thanks for chanting, Cormen, it's Sock and Diesel so far today.
27:50Not many people will have a clue what I've just said, but Neil's punch in the air.
27:53Absolutely love it. Bring it home, my friend. Sing it.
27:56Right, listen, you're not running on empty just yet, though, Thomas, so let's get some more letters.
28:03Vowel, please, Rachel.
28:04Thank you, Thomas.
28:06O.
28:06And another.
28:08E.
28:10Consonant, please.
28:11B.
28:12And another.
28:14G.
28:15And another.
28:17T.
28:18And another.
28:20R.
28:21And another.
28:23G.
28:24And a vowel.
28:26I.
28:28And a final vowel, please.
28:30A final A.
28:32Start the clock.
28:33A.
28:33I.
28:35That.
28:35I.
28:39I.
28:39I.
28:40AhÃ.
28:41I.
28:41I.
28:42A lot of activity in the dictionary corner, we'll see.
29:06Quinn, what did you get?
29:06Seven.
29:07OK, and Thomas?
29:08Six.
29:08OK, six is Thomas?
29:10Batter.
29:10Batter and Quinn, seven.
29:13Boggier.
29:13There's no two Ts for batter, I'm afraid.
29:16I'm sorry, Thomas.
29:17Very easily done.
29:18No worries.
29:19Boggier, as you would imagine?
29:21Absolutely fine.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Good to get a seven out of that.
29:25Neil, are you getting on, mate?
29:27I really wanted re-bigot to be in there.
29:30Just when you're running out of bigots, you just reopen the bigots.
29:33But unfortunately, I don't think re-bigot is in there.
29:37No time for bigots, no time for re-bigots, for sure.
29:40Yes, but baggier is in there, and boggier, and I'm from the Midlands, and if I went home
29:46and didn't get that, I would be shunned.
29:48So, boggier I'm going to go for.
29:49Very good.
29:50Well, listen, Quinn's got 80 points, Thomas has got 33, and Quinn, you're picking the letters.
29:55Consonant, please.
29:56Thank you, Quinn.
29:56I'll go for another consonant, please.
30:18T.
30:20I'm going to go for one more consonant.
30:22Lastly, C.
30:24Here we go.
30:24C.
30:25Here we go.
30:26Good night.
30:26Right, Quinn, let me hear it.
30:56There are six.
30:57And Thomas?
30:57Six.
30:58OK, there's six, Thomas.
30:59Ascent.
31:00Well done.
31:00Ascent and Quinn.
31:02Insect.
31:03Insect and Ascent.
31:04Straightforward.
31:05Easy there.
31:06Six points each.
31:07What are you saying to me, Delamere?
31:09I have to check a couple with Susie.
31:12Is tawnies in the dictionary, as in owls?
31:15Yeah, no, not there on its own, I'm afraid.
31:17Oh, OK.
31:18Sorry.
31:19But there is cineast.
31:22Cineast.
31:23Cineast.
31:23Someone, I'm assuming, who likes films.
31:25Exactly, filmmaker or somebody who goes to cinema all the time.
31:28A cineast.
31:29Yeah.
31:29A cinema enthusiast.
31:31A film buff.
31:32Very good.
31:33Thomas, here we go.
31:34We're going to have our final numbers of the day.
31:36You can have as much fun with it as you want.
31:38I have two large and four small again, please.
31:40Thank you, Thomas.
31:41Two from the top, four little ones to finish the day.
31:44And this final selection is seven, two, nine, ten.
31:49And the big ones, 125.
31:52And the target for you to reach, 923.
31:56Numbers up.
31:57And the big ones, you know, the big ones.
31:58And the big ones, you know, the big ones.
31:58And the big ones, you know, the big ones.
31:59And the big ones, you know, the big ones.
31:59And the big ones, you know, the big ones.
32:00And the big ones, you know, the big ones.

32:09MUSIC PLAYS
32:27Thomas? 923. Yes, and Quinn? Also 923.
32:31There you go. No problems there. Thomas, shoot.
32:33Nine times 100 is 900. Yep.
32:36Plus 25. Take away the two.
32:38Very, very easy. 93.
32:41Same way, Mr Bartlett? Same way.
32:46There you go. 96 plays of 49.
32:49All that remains for us to do today is for me to start the clock,
32:53for Quinn and Thomas to put their fingers on the buzzers
32:56as we reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:02Quinn, for another ton. Confusing. Confusing.
33:05Let's clear it up. And it is.
33:08APPLAUSE
33:09Isn't it funny, Quinn?
33:14You finished on 106, which is an amazing score.
33:19And it feels like you were slightly frustrated at times
33:22with your performance.
33:23I just can't get hang of the numbers yet.
33:26When everything clicks, it's going to be some show.
33:30Hold on, Derhats, if that happens tomorrow.
33:33And Neil's final show. You hope it happens, Neil, in your final show.
33:35Oh, man, yeah. He's doing so well.
33:37Every time he gets the conundrum, I see he turns around
33:39and just checks how long he's gotten it in.
33:42That's how confident he is.
33:43So he's just two great players, but he's on such a streak.
33:46Well, Thomas, I don't think there's many people on Earth
33:49we can put in that seat that's going to get Quinn Bartlett
33:51out of the champion seat.
33:52But I hope you really enjoyed your day.
33:54It's been a pleasure.
33:55We'll give you a goodie-bye. Lovely to see you.
33:56Well done.
33:57Right, we say goodbye again, Susie Neal.
34:02We'll see you tomorrow, Rachel. Bye-bye.
34:04I think Quinn's going to be the Countdown contestant
34:06that everybody else loves to hate that's going up against him.
34:09You might be absolutely right.
34:11Well, we'll find out who's next tomorrow.
34:12Susie will be here.
34:14Rachel will be here.
34:15I will be here.
34:16You can count on us.

34:35If you've ever taken on a renovation project
34:37you'll probably have a good idea
34:39of how much of a nightmare it can turn into.
34:40That's where Scarlett and Stuart Douglas
34:42might be able to help
34:43with their brand new series
34:44Worst House on the Street
34:46and it starts tonight at 8 here on Channel 4.
34:48Next, though, we're off to the sunny side of the street

34:57Here we go.
