00:30Good afternoon and welcome to Countdown Studio.
00:35People watching, we all do it, don't we?
00:38But we should really think about just how subtle we are when we do it.
00:43I read a study recently about experiments that are being carried out
00:47to differentiate how good we're at people watching
00:51and whether we recognise that people are also watching us.
00:54There's a disparity between the two.
00:56And that disparity, Rachel, is called the invisibility cloak illusion.
01:01We're watchers, but we can't imagine that anybody's actually watching us too.
01:07It's interesting. It's an illusion.
01:09Are you a people watcher?
01:11I quite enjoy it, especially if it's, you know, a nice sunny day
01:14and everyone's in a good mood. It puts you in a good mood, doesn't it?
01:16Sure.
01:16You're going through the park and seeing people play with their kids
01:18or play with a dog or out on the boats. It's lovely.
01:21Absolutely. All right. Now, we've got somebody back here, Phil Peel, Rachel,
01:27business analyst from Durham. We know him well.
01:30He's got six shows tucked under his belt, only two more.
01:33Will you be our newest octo champ, I wonder? How are you feeling?
01:37A little nervous now, but getting closer to the end.
01:40First of all, you've got to get past Owen Jackson.
01:43Owen's from County Waterford, south of Ireland there,
01:46and loves to visit Iceland. I was always about Iceland.
01:50Isn't Ireland good enough, that landscape on the West Coast?
01:52Oh, that one little letter makes a big difference.
01:55Yeah.
01:55I went there only once with my nephew for their Eurovision final
01:58and it was like the surface of a different planet.
02:01It was just stunning, beautiful.
02:03But unfortunately, there was a snag where my wallet,
02:06I left it in the airport, in Dublin Airport, during breakfast.
02:10And so I had to try and get a car hire in Iceland
02:13without a driving licence or a credit card.
02:15Don't leave your wallet lying around. Did you get it back?
02:18Yeah, yeah. The airport police picked it up.
02:20It was just left in the cafe.
02:21Well done.
02:21So, thankfully.
02:23Well done. Big round of applause then for Phil and Owen.
02:29Susie's in the corner. Of course she is.
02:32And today she's joined by the wonderful,
02:34well, frankly, he's the greatest people watcher we've got,
02:38impressionist and comedian, the wonderful John Coleshaw.
02:40Welcome back, John.
02:41Oh, thank you.
02:45More for you, ladies and gentlemen, Phil.
02:47Off we go. Number seven.
02:50Afternoon, Rachel.

04:03It.
04:04An eight, Owen?
04:05I got an eight as well.
04:08Was that a gasp of sadness, all?
04:10Oh, just panic.
04:12I'm on countdown.
04:13Now then, Phil?
04:15Incensed.
04:16Incensed, and Owen?
04:17Silence.
04:19Um, yes, silence is excellent.
04:22Um, incensed, you need, um...
04:24One N.
04:24Two Ns, yeah, and you've only got one.
04:27Oh, that's really bad luck, Phil, sorry.
04:29John and Susie.
04:30Yeah, declines there for another eight.
04:33Yep.
04:33One of those where you sort of see it being spelled in front of you.
04:36Do you?
04:36You don't have to look too hard for that particular one.
04:38All right.
04:39So, well done, Owen.
04:40Eight-point lead there, and you're back on.
04:43Letters game.
04:43Um, good afternoon, Rachel.

06:03Sour-er.
06:04Sour-er.
06:06Phil?
06:06Rores.
06:09Suzy?
06:10Yes, both good sixes. It was really tough, this one.
06:13John?
06:14Swore was there for a five, but Rores, a great one.
06:17Rather a tricky selection there.
06:20Well done. All right.
06:21Fourteen plays six, Phil's off the blocks, and it's Phil's numbers game.
06:25Yes, sir?
06:26Can I have one large five small, please, Rachel?
06:28You can indeed, thank you, Phil.
06:29One from the top, five little ones.
06:31And the first numbers game of the day is three, seven, nine, four, eight,
06:37and the big one, 50.
06:40And your target, 507.
06:43507.
06:50Yes, Phil?
07:15Five or seven.
07:16Owen?
07:17Yeah, five or seven.
07:18Yes, Phil?
07:19Nine plus four minus three is ten.
07:22It is indeed.
07:23Multiply by 50.
07:24500.
07:25Plus seven.
07:25507, lovely.
07:28Now, Owen.
07:2950 by nine instead.
07:31450.
07:32And then I did seven by eight.
07:35Is 56.
07:3656.
07:3656.
07:37And then the four minus three gave me an extra one, Dylan.
07:40Lovely. Well done.
07:41Same result.
07:41Very good.
07:45So, Owen on 24 and Phil on 16 as we turn to our first tea time teaser,
07:50which is hate looms.
07:52And the clue, your hate for someone looms large because you think they're this.
07:57Your hate for someone looms large because you think they're this.
08:01Welcome back.
08:17I live with the clue, your hate for someone looms large because you think they're this.
08:23You think they're loathsome.
08:25Loathsome.
08:26Oh, dear.
08:27Loathsome.
08:28So, 24 plays 16.
08:30Phil on 16.
08:31It's Owen's letters game.
08:32Yes, sir.
08:33Hello, Rachel.
08:33Could I have a consonant to start off?
08:35Thank you, Owen.
08:36J.
08:38And follow it up with a vowel.
08:40E.
08:42Consonant.
08:44F.
08:45And a vowel.
08:47O.
08:49Another consonant.
08:51P.
08:53Vowel.
08:54I.
08:55A consonant.
08:58L.
09:00A vowel.
09:02U.
09:05And the final consonant.
09:07And a final N.
09:09And the clock starts now.
09:11I.
09:18I.
09:20I.
09:21I.
09:22I.
09:26I.
09:27Oh, last second. Six. Six? Yeah. Risky six. And a risky six.
09:48Oh, in. Lupine. And unpile. Unpile. Yeah, I'm really surprised by that, but it's in. To demolish or take down a pile or heap is to unpile it. Unpile. Lupine, certainly. Very good. Our old friend the wolf. What have we got in the corner there, John? Quite an interesting five. Jewel. The unit of measurement was there. Penful. Rather a nice six. We had to find those sort of sneaky words with this selection, didn't we? Yeah. Penful.
10:18That's another unlikely one. The quantity of ink taken up by a pen at one dip.
10:24I had drank a penful last night. Or not. Thank you. 30 page 22. Phil, what are we going to do? Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Phil. W. And a vowel. I. And a consonant. R. And another vowel. O. Consonant.
10:48B. B. A vowel. E. A consonant. T. Another consonant. Q. And a final consonant, please.
11:03And a final P. Stand by.
11:06B. B. A vowel.
11:07B
11:12B kosong.
11:25B
11:33Phil.
11:39Risky five.
11:40Owen.
11:40Five.
11:41Yes, Phil.
11:42I think I may have made this up.
11:43Pirate, P-I-R-O-T.
11:45Owen.
11:45The least legendary Bowie.
11:48Bowie, yes.
11:49It's the long knife with the double-edged blades,
11:51named after Jim Bowie, who's an American frontiersman,
11:55so goes all the way back to the 18th century.
11:57There's no Pierrot, I'm afraid.
11:59There's a Pierrot, the sort of puppet, that's I-E-R-O-T,
12:01but not with that spelling, I'm afraid.
12:04Now, John.
12:05Yes, not too much beyond the fives.
12:07Probe was there for another five.
12:09Probe?
12:10Not too much beyond that, it seems.
12:11Susie?
12:12No, another tricky one there.
12:13That's it?
12:13All right.
12:14Thirty-five plays, twenty-two.
12:16Now, Owen, how are you with numbers?
12:19Rachel, I am quite partial to two big ones,
12:22if that's OK with you.
12:23It is indeed, two big ones, and therefore four little ones.
12:26Thank you, Owen.
12:26And this time around, your four smalls are three, nine, one, and two,
12:32and your two big ones, seventy-five, and one hundred.
12:36And this target, nine hundred and ninety-nine.
12:38Nine, nine, nine.
12:40Three big ones for you.
12:41One, two big ones for you.
13:11Now, Owen, what do you think?
13:15I have it, but I don't have it written down.
13:17Now, Phil.
13:18Yes?
13:18999.
13:19999.
13:21So, Owen.
13:23OK.
13:24What I did was I got the 100, and then I added on a 3 to it.
13:281, I should say.
13:30Then I multiplied that by the 9.
13:32927.
13:33Then at that point I added on a 75.
13:371002.
13:37And took away the remaining numbers.
13:391 and a 2.
13:40Perfect.
13:40999.
13:41Well done.
13:42It's a high relief.
13:44Now, Phil.
13:45I did 9 plus 1 is 10.
13:46Yep.
13:47Times 100.
13:481,000.
13:493 minus 2 is 1.
13:50Here's another one.
13:51Lovely.
13:51That'll do it as well.
13:52Take it out.
13:53Well done.
13:57So, there we are.
13:5945 plays 32.
14:00Brave man, Owen, as we turn to John Coulthorne, the great John Coulthorne.
14:05What have you been up to?
14:06What's keeping you busy these days?
14:08Well, enjoying being on tour at the moment.
14:10With my show called The Great British Takeoff.
14:14Well, that's a nice pun and I'm having it.
14:16This is myself and the legendary comedy producer, the Dead Ringers producer, Bill Dare.
14:22And we're touring the country with the show, unscripted, spontaneous, largely improvised show.
14:28And one of our favourite parts of the show is where, just towards the end of the first half, the audience choose a character and then we have to call a local pizza place and order a pizza in the style of whoever they have chosen.
14:44I mean, sometimes, you know, the pizza operators can be very nervous if the Prince of Wales is asking for some very terribly organic, wonderful pizzas with pheasant and posh biscuits on it.
14:56You know, sometimes I get very chirpy, you know, if Alan Carr phones up the very, very happy, it comes there very quickly.
15:04But the pizzas arrive before the end of the final part of the show and the audience help their self as they leave.
15:11And your Dead Ringers thing is just genius.
15:15Which was the one that really caught everybody off guard and you turned it into a triumph?
15:202015 general election and the Europe referendum, because the results were being counted overnight, the writers began their duty at about half past four in the morning, watching the news channels, writing the sketches in real time and handing it to us.
15:36Amazing.
15:36Before, you know, the audience at lunchtime and then edited and ready for the show that evening.
15:41So, yeah, sometimes it's very fast, but we love it that way.
15:44Respect to John.
15:45Yay!
15:52Well done, John.
15:53Now, Phil, have you had a little rest?
15:57How about a letters game?
15:58Start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
16:00Thank you, Phil.
16:01R.
16:02And a vowel.
16:04A.
16:05And a consonant.
16:06D.
16:08And a vowel.
16:10I.
16:11And a consonant.
16:13R.
16:15And another consonant.
16:17P.
16:19And a vowel.
16:21E.
16:22Another vowel.
16:25O.
16:27And a final vowel, please.
16:30And a final A.
16:33Stand by.
16:36And a vowel, please.
16:52I.
16:53And a vowel.
16:59And a vowel.
17:04sects of a vowel.
17:04Now then, Phil, try a seven.
17:08Owen?
17:09A six. An appropriate six.
17:11And Owen?
17:13Dopia.
17:14Dopia and Rodea.
17:17Rodea.
17:21Don't think we're going to find it there, Phil.
17:23No, Rodea but not Rodea, sorry.
17:26Bad luck.
17:27Now, John and Susie.
17:30Parried was there for seven.
17:32And a rather nice term from this digital age that we're living in, airdrop, was there for another seven.
17:40Well done. 51 to 32.
17:43Owen, letters came.
17:45Thanks. Rachel, could I start this off with a consonant, please?
17:48Thank you, Owen.
17:50T.
17:51And a vowel.

18:25S.
18:26ORCHESTRA PLAYS
18:56I'll try a nine.
18:59Good man. That's what we like.
19:01Owen?
19:02Inflates.
19:05Phil Peel?
19:06Filiations.
19:08It was a risk, because I only had a seven.
19:11Erm, how are you spelling it?
19:13F-E-L-A-T-I-O-N-S.
19:15Erm, I think you'd need a double L anyway,
19:18but it's not there, I'm afraid. Sorry.
19:20Right.
19:21Yes.
19:22John?
19:22A couple of eights.
19:24Toedales was there for eights.
19:26Foliates.
19:27Yeah.
19:27Another eight.
19:28So, yes, a couple to discover there, yes.
19:32And Susie?
19:34That's both of mine as well.
19:36It'll do perfectly.
19:37All right.
19:3859 to 32.
19:40Well done, Owen.
19:41It's Phil's numbers game now.
19:43Phil?
19:43Can I take a risk, please, Rachel?
19:44I've got six more.
19:45You can indeed. Thank you, Phil.
19:46Gambling time.
19:47Six little ones coming up.
19:48And they are five.
19:51Another five.
19:53Six, seven, two, and ten.
19:57And your target?
19:59346.
20:00Three, four, six.
20:01Three, four, six.
20:32Phil.
20:33Three, four, six.
20:34Three, four, six.
20:35Owen.
20:36Yes, not written down great, but I have it, I think.
20:38You've got it.
20:38All right.
20:39So let's turn to you then, Owen.
20:41Five by seven by ten is 350.
20:44Yep.
20:45And then there's a six to take off and a two to add on.
20:48Yeah, there we go.
20:49Well done.
20:50Three, four, six.
20:51Three, four, six, Phil.
20:52Same way.
20:53Cool.
20:54Yeah.
20:54Wow.
20:55All right.
20:55So 69 for Owen still maintaining that lead as it has from the start.
21:0442 to Phil as we turn to our second tea time teaser, which is has lyrics.
21:10And the clue, perhaps it has the lyrics to Madam Butterfly on the inside.
21:14Perhaps it has the lyrics to Madam Butterfly on the inside.
21:18Welcome back.
21:34I left you with the clue.
21:35Perhaps it has the lyrics to Madam Butterfly on the inside.
21:40Very witty.
21:41The answer to that is chrysalis.
21:43Chrysalis.
21:44Of course, it's got the butterfly on the inside.
21:4669 plays 42, Owen on 69.
21:49It's Owen's letters game.
21:51Could I start off with a consonant, please, Rachel?
21:52Thank you, Owen.
21:53T.
21:55And I'll follow that up with a vowel.
21:57I.
21:58Then a consonant.
22:00S.
22:02And a vowel.
22:04A.
22:06Another consonant.
22:08Y.
22:09We'll go for vowel.
22:12E.
22:13And a consonant.
22:15H.
22:16We'll break the habit of lifetime and do another consonants.
22:22T.
22:25And then go back for a vowel anyway.
22:27And the last one.
22:28O.
22:30And the clock starts now.
22:31A.
22:32.
22:44Oh, two, three, seven.
23:04A seven, Phil?
23:05Just a six.
23:06Your six?
23:07Toasty.
23:09Toasty.
23:10Owen?
23:10This one's for Rachel and Susie.
23:12Hotties.
23:12You bold boy.
23:17What have we got in the corner there?
23:19John?
23:19Well, Atheist was there for a seven.
23:23Yeah.
23:24And, yes, a rather wonderful one that Susie discovered.
23:28Strange-looking word.
23:29Isohyat.
23:30It is a term from meteorology.
23:32It's a line on a map connecting points that have the same amount of rainfall in a specific period.
23:39APPLAUSE
23:3976 plays 42.
23:44Owen on 76.
23:45Powerful stuff.
23:46Phil, let us go.
23:48Consonant, please, Rachel.
23:49Thank you, Phil.
23:50G.
23:51And a vowel.

24:32Phil, try a seven.
24:55Yes, Owen?
24:55I managed to see an eight in that one.
24:58Yes, Phil?
24:59Gortus.
25:00What did you spot, Owen?
25:02Overeats.
25:03Overeats.
25:04Yes, that's definitely in.
25:06No go to, I'm afraid.
25:07Sorry, Phil.
25:08Yes, lots of...
25:09Over was quite a handy few letters there.
25:13Overage is there for another eight.
25:16Yes, well, overages.
25:17You can say excess or surplus in financial terms in overage.
25:22Also, another four was Gove.
25:24Gove was there.
25:25I'm very proud to be there.
25:27Michael Gove, sort of like a Ronnie Corbett,
25:28but with all the warmth and lovability taken away.
25:32LAUGHTER
25:32That's superb.
25:35That was a lovely sketch.
25:3784 to 42.
25:38Susie?
25:39We're with you.
25:41Origins of words.
25:42What have you got for us today?
25:43Well, I'm focused on Alice Reynolds, who emailed in and said,
25:46I've often wondered where the char in a cup of char came from,
25:50which is appropriate for an almost tea time show as we are.
25:54It emerged as slang for tea, char, in the 1920s,
25:57and it was actually just the popular spelling of char, C-H-A,
26:01and that was the Mandarin, from the Mandarin dialect of Chinese,
26:04that was their word for tea.
26:07So you might expect the char in the now old-fashioned term charwoman
26:11to have sort of slightly the same history, perhaps.
26:13A charwoman used to serve tea.
26:14Actually, that's very different.
26:16It has very different beginnings, and it's linked to the word chore,
26:19and that goes back to an old English term meaning a turning,
26:22with the idea of doing a turn of work,
26:24which, of course, was what a charlady or a charwoman used to do.
26:27It's perhaps slightly derogatory to use it now,
26:30but certainly it used to be very much in vogue.
26:32But London's Charing Cross shares that same ancestry
26:36because its name is explained by the fact that the old hamlet of Charing
26:40was situated at a bend or a turn in the River Thames,
26:45so char crops up there as well.
26:47And there's one other sense of char
26:49which I think requires possibly an even greater leap of faith
26:53because in Scotland, when a door is neither open nor shut completely,
26:58it's almost at a turn.
27:00It's turned a little way.
27:01It was described as being at char.
27:04Again, that idea of turning comes into it.
27:06And, of course, gradually, as things do,
27:09they become a little bit more slippery in English,
27:11and at char became a jar, which is where we get a jar from today.
27:15So three lots of char, very different senses,
27:18but they all share the same ancestry.
27:26All right, A4, 242, and it's Owen we turn to.
27:31Yes, Owen.
27:32Thanks, Nick.
27:32Rachel, could I start with a consonant?
27:34Thank you, Owen.
27:35M.
27:37Mm-hm.
27:37And follow up with a vowel?
27:39E.
27:40Hmm.

30:24Smilier.
30:26Owen.
30:27Mine's not as nice.
30:28Slimier.
30:30Well done.
30:32Now, Susie and John, what have we got?
30:36Well, there was an eight in there, rather a nice one, liveries.
30:41Liveries.
30:41Corporate logos and things.
30:43Yeah.
30:43Thanks.
30:47Susie, anything else?
30:49Reviles, is that for seven as well?
30:50To revile is to?
30:52To revile is to detest in a slightly loathsome way, but to revile is just to push away, to repulse almost.
30:59All right.
31:00So, 98 plays 56, and Owen, it's the final numbers game.
31:06Can I get two large ones and four small pieces?
31:08Two from the top and four little.
31:10Thank you very much, Owen.

32:01275. So we're with you, Owen.
32:04OK. 10 minus 8 is 2.
32:07Yep. Then multiply that by 100.
32:09200. Add on 75.
32:11275. Subtract 3.
32:13272. Lovely.
32:15Well done.

32:21108 for Owen there, my word. Fantastic.
32:24But now, final round, conundrum time.
32:26Fingers on buzzers, gentlemen. Come along.
32:28Let's roll today's countdown, conundrum.
32:45I think it's crookedly, Nick.
32:54Crookedly. Let's see whether you're right. Let's rail it round. And see, is it crookedly? It is. Oh, well done.
33:00APPLAUSE
33:01Phil, all is not lost, because you could well be back in the finals of Christmas. It depends.
33:14Six great wins. And along comes Owen Jackson.
33:17He's just too good. And stops you. Huh?
33:19You're just too good.
33:20But, er, you take your goody bag, you take your teapot, and you go with a rousing cheer from us as well.
33:25Thank you very much.
33:26Thank you for having me.

33:35118. First time out. Amazing. That's fantastic. We'll see you tomorrow. Well done.
33:40Well done. Well done indeed. Thank you very much.
33:42Thank you very much, gentlemen. See you tomorrow, John.
33:44Yeah, see you there. Great match. Great one to be a spectator on. Fantastic.
33:48It was. Two great players. Susie, see you tomorrow?
33:51Yep, see you then.
33:52All right. And Rachel, 118. First time out.
33:54Yeah, you never know. If Owen carries on like this, we could end up with both contestants back for the finals in the grudge match.
33:59The grudge match, indeed. See you tomorrow. See you then.
34:02See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Same time, same place, of course. You be sure of it. A very good afternoon.
