00:30Hello, everybody. We've reached the end of another working week together.
00:36Friday's countdown. At the end of this, school is out for many kids for the first time after returning after the summer holidays.
00:43And, of course, we talked earlier in the week. School, Rachel, has been a bit of a recurring theme.
00:47Maeve's off to nursery school in a few days for the first time. There'll be tears everywhere.
00:51Let me ask you a loaded question. There's a reason for it with our challenger today.
00:56Did you win anything at school?
00:58Yes.
01:00OK, so a lot.
01:01I was a bit of an overachiever. Yeah, I won most things.
01:05I won nada. Absolutely nothing. But, listen, there you go.
01:08No prizes for guessing who we introduce next in a class of our own.
01:12The amazing Susie Dent alongside the class joker for this week.
01:16Last day today for the riotous Russell Kane.
01:19Right, let's get to our new champion, 20-year-old Jack Davis, who beat Chad, did notch up his first win yesterday.
01:31Less academic at school and more sport. You could have been a contender, I believe. Semi-professional football?
01:37Yeah, I played low-level football for a little bit, coming out of high school, just as I went into college.
01:42But then, as I moved on to university, just didn't really have the time to balance the both, yeah.
01:47Right. Well, listen, let's introduce our challenger today. It's a real youthful affair.
01:51If I add together the ages of both of today's contestants, it's eight years younger than me, still.
01:5817-year-old Daniel Bloom from London.
02:01Now, I'm going to let Susie talk to you, because you're the reason why I asked what have you won at school.
02:06I bore you all the time, talking about sporting events and the Olympics.
02:10And, of course, Daniel's won an Olympics that you love.
02:14Yeah, so you have won a Linguistics Olympiad, is that right?
02:17Well, yeah, I got the Gold Award in 2019 and 2022.
02:22That's fantastic. So what does it involve?
02:24Basically maths puzzles, but in the format of many different languages.
02:29You might get given a list of words in some language spoken by five people in eastern Russia,
02:36and you have to try and find patterns in them to create a sentence,
02:42or try and translate something, all that sort of thing.
02:46So the decoding and encoding, I love that.
02:49Well, listen, you could be covered in glory again today.
02:52It is Daniel Bloom taking on Jack Davis. Here we go.
02:58Let's get our first letters from Jack.
03:00Afternoon, Rachel.
03:01Afternoon, Jack.
03:01Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:03You can indeed. Start today with K.
03:05And another.
03:07N.
03:09And a vowel.
03:10A.
03:11And a consonant.
03:14S.
03:14And another.
03:17S.
03:18And a vowel.
03:20I.
03:21And a consonant.
03:24D.
03:25And a vowel.
03:27U.
03:29And a final vowel, please.
03:31A final I.
03:33OK, for the first time at home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
03:49First round in your Countdown career, Daniel, how did you do?
04:11Six.
04:12And Jack?
04:13Just a five.
04:14The five is?
04:15Dunks.
04:16Dunks!
04:17And the six is?
04:18Unsaid.
04:19There you go.
04:20I can't speak, can't lie, dictionary corner.
04:22I mean, unsaid, beautiful, we had that.
04:24I'm not sure what this one means, I just know it's a word.
04:27Unkiss.
04:28I wasn't aware it's something you could do.
04:30I know.
04:31If so, lads' holidays, sorted.
04:34Yeah, it's defined by taking back a kiss that you've given someone.
04:38But in its earliest uses, it was breaking a promise that was sealed with a kiss.
04:42That makes more sense.
04:43You cannot take back a kiss.
04:45OK, it's your first chance to say hello to Rachel.
04:48All yours, Daniel.
04:49Hi, Rachel.
04:50Hi, Daniel.
04:50Could I have a consonant, please?
04:51You can indeed.
04:52Start with N.
04:55And another consonant?
04:57D.
04:58And a vowel?
05:00A.
05:01A consonant?
05:03R.
05:03A vowel, please.
05:06E.
05:08Another?
05:10A.
05:11A consonant?
05:13S.
05:14A consonant?
05:16T.
05:17And a vowel, please.
05:19And the last one.
05:21O.
05:2230 seconds.
05:22A vowel, please.
05:23A vowel, please.
05:23Yes, sir.
05:24A vowel, please.
05:25port.
05:26So, you're excited.
05:26A torque.
05:26Do you know what I have ailant message?
05:40Oh, you're the first.
05:41Something on the move?
05:42Are you hungry?
05:42Do you know what I have to say?
05:44Do you know what I have a recharge of, you got to?
05:45One of the things around me.
05:46Here's a utilization of the back how is ment racing.
05:47I have a headphone and you're going to that, but you're reallyina worth it.
05:50Daniel?
05:54Seven.
05:55And Jack?
05:56I risk an eight.
05:57OK, the seven is...?
05:59Roasted.
06:00The risky eight is...?
06:01Donators.
06:02Donators. People who donate money.
06:04Susie Dent. Dictionary Corner. Final word.
06:07I'm afraid it is O-R.
06:09Donators rather than donators.
06:11Yeah, sorry about that, Jack.
06:13So, roasted counts for the seven.
06:15Anything else in Dictionary Corner?
06:16Yeah, an obscure air vehicle, an aeronat, pluralised aeronats.
06:20For eight, which I believe is...?
06:22Yeah, well, apparently it's a French attempt to introduce a word for airship,
06:26so it's pretty much the same thing.
06:28If you put the S on it, you'll get to an eight.
06:29A balloon you can steer.
06:30OK, let's switch to numbers, Jack.
06:32Let's see if we can get rid of that duck egg.
06:34I'll have one from the top, please, Rachel.
06:36One from the top. You're not gambling at this early stage.
06:38We're just keeping it simple.
06:41And let's see how simple.
06:43This round is one, six, seven, two, eight, and 25.
06:49And the target to reach 786.
06:53Numbers up.
06:53And the target to reach 786.
06:59And the target to reach 786.
07:01And the target to reach 8å·¦ versus 6 Glory.
07:03And the target to reach 866.
07:04Let's see how this happens.
07:06Now with Sowydon and Потомулiv,
07:07we'll be able to tweak the final sequence of,
07:08it's one of them, you know,
07:10with my parents or family bite!
07:11Because, if I'm not sure everything,
07:13they're the best class.
07:17Next to the���ùng conclusion,
07:18this留言 factor,
07:18this videorolle for you to get a hit like up until WORK.
07:20Trigger one, seven, eight, six, Daniel?
07:26Seven, nine, two.
07:27OK, so six away, and Jack?
07:30Seven, eight, four, not written down.
07:32Two away, off you go, Jack.
07:3325 times by two.
07:3525 by two is 50.
07:39I've done it wrong, sorry.
07:41OK.
07:42No worries, you can steal a few points here, Daniel, off you go.
07:45OK, so six for track two is four.
07:48Six less two is four.
07:50Times it by eight and 25.
07:52By eight and 25, for 800.
07:56So track the seven and the one.
07:57And then take the seven and the one, yep.
08:00A few points for you, but Rachel, how do you get ten?
08:03You have to leave it with me, I just got to one away.
08:06OK, good stuff.
08:07Well, listen, what a story's developing today.
08:09Yesterday, Jack was a challenger and held our champion, Shad,
08:12to zero points in the first part.
08:15The same things happened the other way round today.
08:17Great start by Daniel.
08:19We'll be back after the break.
08:20Here's your Tea Time teaser.
08:22Cornhead, Cornhead, all at sea but going nowhere.
08:26All at sea but going nowhere.
08:27And Rachel, no longer all at sea when it comes to our first numbers.
08:51No, I found one way.
08:53Lots of dead ends, but with seven plus eight is 15, times by two for 30.
09:0125 plus one, 26, times those together for 780, and chuck on the six for seven, eight, six.
09:09Well, Daniel, our challenger started at a rate of knots.
09:15Jack, our champion, treading water, 18-0.
09:18Daniel, your letters.
09:19Could I have a consonant, please?
09:20Thank you, Daniel.

09:44And a consonant, please.
09:45And lastly, S.
09:47Thank you, Rachel.
09:48Thank you, Rachel.
09:49Thank you, Rachel.
10:17And a vowel.
10:19Parents down, Jack?
10:20Seven.
10:21And Daniel?
10:22Seven as well.
10:23All sevens, good stuff, Jack.
10:25Massage.
10:25Massage.
10:26That's definitely getting you off the mark.
10:27And Daniel?
10:28Message.
10:29Message and massage.
10:31Anything else, Russell?
10:32Yeah.
10:32Horrible narrative is emerging.
10:34A message, a massage, and then a gamete, which is, of course, the human sex cells.
10:38Spelled G-A-M-E-T-E-S.
10:41Right.
10:41Off the mark, Jack.
10:42Let's get your letters.
10:43I'll have a consonant, please, Rachel.
10:44Thank you, Jack.
10:46X.
10:46And a vowel.
10:49A.
10:50And a consonant.
10:52R.
10:53And another.
10:55T.
10:57And a vowel.
10:58E.
10:59And another.
11:02U.
11:03And a consonant.
11:04D.
11:05And another.
11:07N.
11:09And a final vowel, please.
11:11A final...
11:12E.
11:1430 seconds.
11:16E24.
11:26E.
11:34E.
11:35And a vowel.
11:37E.
11:39E.
11:39E.
11:39E.
11:40E.
11:40E.
11:40E.
11:41E.
11:42E.
11:43E.
11:44E.
11:45How do you do, Daniel?
11:47I'll risk an eight.
11:48OK, good on you. And Jack?
11:50I'll risk an eight too.
11:51OK, two risky eights. Let's get them.
11:53Daniel?
11:55Undereat.
11:56Undereat. And Jack?
11:58Denature.
11:59Ooh, OK. Undereat and denature.
12:01Two big decisions. Susie?
12:02Yes, well, I feel very guilty for the first one
12:04because I think this should be in and probably will be at some point.
12:07Undereat, not in the dictionary.
12:09I'm so sorry about that, Daniel.
12:10You can overeat but not undereat at the moment,
12:13according to the dictionary.
12:14But denature, to remove the natural qualities of something,
12:18is excellent in the dictionary.
12:19Wonderful.
12:22OK, beautiful. Really good rounds.
12:24And actually, Daniel, it's your first time picking the numbers.
12:26Could I have two large and four little, please?
12:29You can indeed, and you're hoping to make that a 20-point gap,
12:32I'd imagine. Jack, hoping to stop you.
12:34Let's see what happens.
12:35Four little ones.
12:35Seven, eight, four and six.
12:39And your big two, 75 and 50.
12:41The target to reach 572.
12:45Numbers up.
12:46Two mites.
12:48Three little ones.
12:48Three little ones.
12:50Seven, nine, nine, ten.
12:525, 7, 2.
13:19Jack.
13:19Um, 5, 7, 1, I believe.
13:221 away.
13:23Not written down, sorry.
13:24Not written down.
13:24OK, Daniel?
13:25Uh, 5, 7, 2.
13:27OK, you've got it.
13:27Off you go.
13:28Uh, 75 times 7.
13:3075 times 7.
13:325, 2, 5.
13:33Add 50.
13:34Add 50.
13:355, 7, 5.
13:378 divided by 4 is 2.
13:38Yep.
13:40Uh, 6 divided by that 2 is 3.
13:43And take that away.
13:44Perfect.
13:445, 7, 2.
13:46APPLAUSE
13:4610 points.
13:49Lovely.
13:49Daniel's got 35.
13:50Jack's got 15.
13:52And it's, of course, Russell Kane's last day in Dictionary Corner.
13:55His debut week on Countdown.
13:58And you get to relax.
13:59We get to ask you questions.
14:00All right.
14:00One each.
14:01I'm going to go first.
14:02Uh, just based on the fact we've been talking about what you've won at school.
14:06And I've interviewed you before.
14:07We've talked many times before.
14:09So you were a late bloomer, of course.
14:11It was university.
14:11You did very well indeed.
14:13Just been a scholarship named after you, hasn't it?
14:15Yeah.
14:16So I got to 16 with pretty uninspiring results.
14:18And I managed to get to 18 with uninspiring results.
14:20I was like, that's it.
14:20I'm not destined for education.
14:22At the last moment, aged 19, something clicked inside me.
14:26I was dating a posh girl.
14:26That's what happened.
14:27And I saw what it was like at uni.
14:29You know, people clutching their Penguin Classics and drinking wine on lawns.
14:32And I thought, hang on a second.
14:34I want to do that and not work in a shop.
14:36So there was, but by now I had to earn a living because of the background I was from.
14:39So I was like, right, I need to study A-levels at home independently.
14:42So there's this college called the National Extensions College.
14:45If you weren't on the internet, they sent you an A-level in a box.
14:48And you had to phone up a tutor and send essays in.
14:50I was so angry about what nearly happened to me.
14:52I got the fastest A-grade from enrolment to getting your A-grade in sociology.
14:58And won this award.
14:59Betty Boothroyd, the old speaker of the House of Commons, gave me this award.
15:02My mum's still got it on the wall.
15:04And then just the other month, National Extensions College have come back
15:06and they've launched this scholarship in my name because I speak so passionately about this process.
15:11So every year, three sort of people from working class backgrounds,
15:15diverse working class backgrounds, will be given help with their A-level enrolment costs.
15:19Because people always think, oh, you need help at university or you need help at school.
15:22But people forget that further education step.
15:25That's fantastic.
15:26The Cairns Scholarship.
15:27It's crazy, isn't it?
15:28Wonderful.
15:29There you go.
15:29Susie?
15:30Yes, I have one for you, Russell, because I know you love your language.
15:33And that was one of the first things that you really studied hard.
15:35So what is your favourite etymology?
15:37Yeah, so I had to learn, I had to expand my vocabulary manually when I got to university
15:42to pretend I knew all the long, posh words everyone knew.
15:44So I collected them on cards and used to study them, like, in the toilet, like, when I was walking
15:48and then try and drop them into conversation.
15:51And wherever I encountered them, like, in the wild, I would write them on my little card.
15:55And I had to learn the diacritic marking so I could learn the pronunciations.
15:58And defenestration, to this day, is the favourite word I ever encountered from, obviously,
16:02from D, from the Latin for downwards and fenestra, for window.
16:06And it means the act of flinging someone out of a window to defenestrate them.
16:11So, yeah, I just love it.
16:12I can't believe there's a word for flinging someone from a window.
16:15I love that.
16:15Read, Shell.
16:16I can't help but notice that the climate around comedy has changed in recent years.
16:19So I'm wondering if it's changed you.
16:21Do you self-censor these days or do you stay true to yourself?
16:25Whenever I get that question, I always say to the comedian, put yourself in a time machine,
16:29get off stage in 1970 and try and do your set.
16:31You'd be shut down and booed off pretty quick.
16:34Yeah.
16:34There's plenty of things we can say now.
16:36People forget the amount we can say that you wouldn't have been able to say just 30 or 40 years ago.
16:42So I think it's just different things have changed.
16:44There are some grey areas, but broadly speaking, you can now be absolutely foul on television after 9pm.
16:49And that's a win for comedy.
16:55OK, back to Countdown today.
16:58And we go back to our champion, Jack, and we get more letters.
17:00Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
17:02Thank you, Jack.
17:03And a final vowel, please.
17:33Thank you, Jack.
17:34Thank you, Jack.
17:36Time is up, Jack.
18:04I'll stick with a seven.
18:05And Daniel?
18:07Just a six.
18:08What's a six?
18:09Cursor.
18:10Yeah, what's the seven you're sticking with?
18:12Carrots.
18:12Yes, there you go.
18:14There was nothing dodgy about that.
18:16I'm just going to...
18:16I didn't see it.
18:18Should have eaten more carrots.
18:19Yeah, there is an eight, of course.
18:22Curator, I saw initially, but then an S on the end.
18:24Curators.
18:25Curators.
18:26Fantastic.
18:26There you go.
18:27A group of curators curating together.
18:29Exactly.
18:29Wonderful.
18:29Wonderful stuff.
18:30There you go.
18:30Could have had that eight at home.
18:32Seven was in play here, and it was much needed for Jack as he tries.
18:35to claw back that deficit against our 17-year-old challenger, Daniel.
18:39Really enjoying this.
18:40Let's get on to more letters.
18:42And it's you, Daniel.
18:43Could I have a consonant, please?
18:45Thank you, Daniel.
18:46T.
18:47And another consonant.
18:49D.
18:49And a final consonant.
19:09And a final S.
19:12Thank you, Rich.
19:13Thank you, Richard.
19:14Thank you, Rich.
19:26All right, Jack, how do you get on?
19:45I'll try a seven.
19:45OK, and Daniel?
19:47Just a six.
19:47What's the six, Daniel?
19:49Pasted.
19:49Well, it might count.
19:50Jack, what's your seven?
19:51Pastude.
19:53OK.
19:54You can't be pastude, unfortunately.
19:56So sorry.
19:56Right, so there's six counts.
19:59So there you go.
19:59Happy days for you, Daniel.
20:01Anything else in Dixonry Corner?
20:03No, we just had pasty, but not to get pastied,
20:05which is, of course, to be satisfied in Cornwall
20:07is the correct definition.
20:10Right, wonderful stuff.
20:11Let's get some numbers.
20:13Jack, all yours.
20:14I'll just go with one from the top, please, Rachel.
20:16Still not gambling?
20:17I'm not gambling.
20:18Just one from the top.
20:19And five little ones.
20:20He's got his teapot.
20:22He's happy.
20:23Right, let's see.
20:24They are six, one, ten, ten, three, and 75.
20:31And the target to reach 325.
20:34Numbers up.

21:2475 divided by 3, 25.
21:27Yep.
21:2810 subtract 6 is 4.
21:31It is.

24:35Jack.
24:55I'll try a seven. Not written down.
24:56Daniel. I think a seven.
24:58Jack, what's yours?
24:59Bio soil.
25:00And Daniel.
25:02Billy, yes.
25:03Susie, all eyes are on you.
25:05This time the dictionary favours Daniel.
25:08So, um, bilious is great.
25:09Bio soil, not in, I'm afraid.
25:11Sorry, Jack.
25:12Over to Russell Kane.
25:13No, we just had bilious.
25:15I looked at bio soil as well, but it's just not in the dictionary.
25:17We will be after the, you know, climate apocalypse.
25:19It'll be straight in there.
25:20Yeah.
25:21For now, who cares about bio soil, eh?
25:24Right.
25:2564 plus 38.
25:27Running out of road champ, right?
25:30So, time to just gather your thoughts and draw breath as we head over to Susie Demp for today's Origins of Words.
25:37I'm going to talk about a really everyday word which might surprise you in its origin.
25:43And I was reminded of it because I've mentioned the etymologist Paul Anthony Jones before,
25:48and he runs his fantastic blog called Haggard Hawks, and I was just browsing it as I do,
25:53and he reminded me of this story.
25:55And it involves shampoo, which always makes me laugh in French because it's spelt le shampooing,
26:02except they pronounce it le shampooing, which I think is just gorgeous.
26:05But its origins actually come from a different language altogether.
26:09So, if you go back to a travel narrative from 1762, you will find a description that is probably one of the most everyday of activities.
26:21But here we go.
26:22This is from a voyage to the West Indies.
26:24So, it doesn't quite sound like the shampoo that you might be using in your shampoo.
26:54But it actually meant, at this point in the mid-18th century, a massage.
27:00That's what shampooing was all about.
27:03So, how did that come to mean washing the hair?
27:05Well, Indian massages like these often involved really fragrant soaps and oils and all sorts of kind of unguents
27:12that would be used to cleanse the skin as well as the hair.
27:16And eventually, when those colonists who had been living in India came back home,
27:20they bought this word with them.
27:22And obviously, we've been using it ever since.
27:24Unless you have a good head massage with it, all hints of its beginnings forgotten.
27:28Yeah.
27:29Go on.
27:29Brilliant.
27:30Yeah.
27:32At the moment, Daniel, head and shoulders above Jack.
27:35Not done yet.
27:36So, more letters from a challenger.
27:38Could I have a consonant, please?
27:39Thank you, Daniel.
27:40And lastly, T.
28:0630 seconds.
28:0730 seconds.
28:36Need a big round here, Jack.
28:39How are you doing, my friend?
28:40Six.
28:40Just a six.
28:41Might be enough.
28:41You don't know Daniel.
28:42Oh, a six.
28:43OK, the six, Daniel?
28:44Wealth.
28:45Yeah.
28:45Jack?
28:46Wallet.
28:47Wallet and wealth.
28:48I love that, when words all connect together.
28:51Anything else you'd like to add to the coffers, Russell Cain?
28:56Probably if you spend too much.
28:57Lethal.
28:59Absolutely.
29:00Lethal wealth and a wallet.
29:02An embarrassment of riches.
29:03Six points each for Jack and Daniel.
29:06One more letters round to come before the last numbers and the conundrum.
29:10Let's see how they fall for you, Jack.
29:13Consonant, please, Rachel.
29:14Thank you, Jack.

30:17After risk of seven.
30:19Daniel.
30:20Eight.
30:21Wow.
30:22Jack, risk away.
30:24What is it?
30:24Monated.
30:26We might not care at this stage.
30:28Daniel.
30:29Fomented.
30:30Fomented is the brilliant stirred-up unrest,
30:33is what that means.
30:34No, monated, I'm afraid.
30:35Sorry, Jack.
30:36I didn't think so.
30:37Sorry.
30:37Fomented.
30:38We know at this stage that we're going to have
30:40a new champion heading into the weekend.
30:42Youth and exuberance has beaten youth and exuberance.
30:46Right.
30:47Daniel, let's get some numbers.
30:49Could I have two from the top, please?
30:51You can indeed.
30:52Two large and four little to send us off into the weekend.
30:57And they are one, six, three, eight.
31:01And the big one's 50 and 100.
31:03And the target, 888.
31:06You could bet not coming up.

31:42888.
31:43You've got it. Go ahead, my son. Let's have it.
31:46100 plus 50.
31:47Yep. 150.
31:503 take 1 is 2.
31:513 take 1, 2.
31:52Take that away from the 150.
31:54For 148.
31:55And then multiply that by 6.
31:57Well done. 888.
31:59Yes, well done.
32:03Love to see it, Jack. Well done indeed.
32:05Going out with a bang.
32:06Just a conundrum to go before we send you into that weekend, Jack.
32:10And Daniel, hands on the buzzers, please,
32:13as we reveal today's countdown conundrum.
32:17We'll be back in the end of this moment.
32:18Just a conundrum to go before we do.

32:24Go ahead.
32:24Let's go.
32:25Go ahead.
32:26Jack, right at the last second.
32:50Inter eats.
32:52Inter eats.
32:54No.
32:55No, and the 0.36 milliseconds left are all yours, Daniel.
33:01Let's restart that clock.
33:03Might have been after the buzzer.
33:05I'm getting an adjudication.
33:07No, it was on the bomb.
33:08Go.
33:09I don't actually have any clue.
33:11Oh, for goodness sake, young man, what are you doing?
33:14Now, Russell Kane, can you go out in a blaze of glory?
33:17I was looking at restrained, but I think I've gone wrong.
33:20Susie, clear it up.
33:21I think I've gone wrong.
33:22I thought it was entreaties.
33:23Wrong, Rachel.
33:23I think it's a reinstate.
33:25Right, well done, Jack.
33:30You only managed to win one, but a fantastic win it was.
33:34You get to take the teapot and the goodie bag back to the University of Leeds.
33:38So how much more cool could you be?
33:41Oh, brilliant.
33:42Best house in Leeds, no doubt.
33:43Well, listen, you've got to stay up for the weekend and come back and see us on Monday, OK?
