00:30Good afternoon, everybody.
00:32Welcome to Countdown, a show that is cut from a different cloth.
00:36While others come and go, we never go out of fashion.
00:39So let's strut straight over to Rachel Riley,
00:42who we've just done a photo shoot together.
00:45So it's been all high fashion today.
00:47And I have to say, and it says a lot about your character.
00:49Yes.
00:50You're taking it very well with me usurping you
00:52as the number one fashion icon of this show.
00:55I mean, I guess a black jumper could be described as stylish.
00:59Because you look back on this in 10 years
01:01and you will still look good.
01:02And this will probably have aged badly.
01:05But I'm not sure about taking that claim.
01:07But this is, take this as a compliment.
01:09Yeah.
01:10This is very different.
01:11This is very bright and, dare I say, like,
01:14it's sort of 60s almost.
01:16You know what I've been inspired by lately?
01:18I know it's coming out next summer,
01:20but they've just been filming the new Barbie movie
01:22and I'm very excited about it.
01:23Does that make me Ken?
01:25I think, I think, you're kind of channeling Susie, actually.
01:31Well, talking of Susie,
01:32somebody who is about as fond of having her picture taken
01:36as a mafia godfather.
01:40Really, really does it.
01:41It's so funny.
01:42Right, in Dick's right corner, there she is,
01:44the very stylish Susie Den,
01:46alongside absolutely fantastic Nina Wadia.
01:53Put you in the spot.
01:55Why is it called a catwalk?
01:57Catwalk, I think because, um...
02:00Actually, I...
02:01Yeah, I'm not sure.
02:02I think it's because they're sort of sashaying along
02:05and the sort of idea that it's a kind of slinky,
02:07feline walk.
02:08That's my guess,
02:09and I will come back to you once I've verified this.
02:12Nothing like putting a dent under a bit of pressure to start.
02:15And that's what's going to have to happen
02:16with our champion, Daniel Bloom,
02:18who's been here now three wins so far.
02:22Do you feel part of the family now?
02:24Yeah, it's great.
02:25Did you tell your mates you were coming on?
02:27Yeah, a few.
02:28And we also cleared it with the school
02:33and my form teacher found out
02:35and told all the other teachers.
02:38Brilliant.
02:38Well, it really is old versus new,
02:40and I mean that in the nicest possible way
02:42because Daniel Bloom will be taking on
02:44Joseph Bartram,
02:45who's been here before.
02:47How many years ago, my friend?
02:49I reckon it was about 12 years ago now.
02:51Right, 12 years ago.
02:53Now, didn't go great.
02:56No.
02:56But there was a good reason for that.
02:58No, because I was playing Jack Hurst,
03:01who happened to win the whole series.
03:03Right.
03:04Kind of a countdown legend, Jack Hurst.
03:06Yeah.
03:06Would you like me to remind you of your score that day?
03:09Um, yeah, go ahead.
03:1229.
03:1429.
03:1530 is a victory today for you.
03:17All right?
03:18No pressure at all.

13:52We know a champion's good on the numbers.
14:02Joseph as well.
14:03Pens were down very, very early here.
14:05Just confirm, Joseph.
14:064, 5, 5.
14:07Yeah, and Daniel?
14:084, 5, 5.
14:09OK, we'll give this one to Joseph.
14:1125 times 3 times 6.
14:14It's 450.
14:15And then 4 plus 1 is your 5.
14:17Lovely, 4, 5, 5.
14:19You're saying.
14:20Yeah.
14:20No worries at all.
14:25Let's head over to Dictionary Corner for another non-cheese-related chat.
14:30I'm leaving.
14:33Nina, you've recently started working on scary movies.
14:38Yes.
14:39And it's a whole new world for you, which must be great.
14:42I mean, you've done so much just to do something that sort of makes you feel maybe you've went in at the deep end.
14:47I did a bit.
14:48I'm not a fan of scary films.
14:50I'm not a fan of horror.
14:52But I love the character in this particular movie.
14:55It's called Followers.
14:56And I thought, OK, I'm going to give it a go.
14:58And for an actor, it's actually quite a hard thing to do.
15:00And I'm glad I did, because having worked in a horror, seeing how everything happens to make the magic on screen has made me less scared of what I'm watching.
15:10Now, we have to be a bit careful.
15:11But when people strangle people on action movies and horror movies, the person who's doing the strangling tries to pull away.
15:19Yes.
15:20And the person who's being strangled grabs their wrist and pushes them in.
15:23Absolutely.
15:24And because the two motions exist, just an opposite, you cannot tell.
15:27No, you can't.
15:28It's the same with grabbing hair.
15:29It's the actor who's actually grabbing that doesn't do the grabbing.
15:32Their fist is shut.
15:34It's the other person who holds their hand on top and pretends that they're in pain at the hair being pulled.
15:40Because believe me, I found that out the hard way.
15:41Good afternoon, everybody.
15:45What a wholesome conversation this has been.
15:47It's Nina Waddy's fault.
15:51Love it.
15:52Love it.
15:53There you go.
15:53You can't even see the movie.
15:55She's in, Daniel, at 17, so you'll have to wait a bit longer.
15:58You can't pick nine letters for me.
16:00Can I get a consonant, please?
16:01Thank you, Daniel.
16:02F.
16:04And another.

16:45A vowel.
16:46How do you get on, Joseph?
17:01Just a five.
17:02And Daniel?
17:03Just a five as well.
17:04OK, there you go. What have you got, Joseph?
17:06Rota. R-O-T-A-R.
17:08Yeah, perfect. And Daniel?
17:10A-orta.
17:11OK, over to Susie, just for clarification.
17:14Rota, I'm afraid, has two O's.
17:16It's R-O-T-O-R.
17:17There you go.
17:18Those little things are going to be huge today
17:20because they're so evenly matched.
17:22Nina, what did you get?
17:23Well, we have a traitor amongst us for seven.
17:26Very good. Wonderful. Wonderful.
17:28A traitor.
17:30Nine more letters now.
17:31Joseph?
17:32Consonant, please.
17:33Thank you, Joseph.
17:35R.
17:36And a vowel?
17:38E.
17:40Consonant.
17:41K.
17:43Vow.
17:45U.
17:46Consonant.
17:48T.
17:49Vow.
17:51O.
17:53Consonant.
17:55S.
17:57Vow.
17:59E.
18:01And another consonant.
18:03And the last one, J.
18:05Kite, don't.
18:05I can see you.
18:13I can hear you.
18:14I can hear you.
18:16MUSIC PLAYS
18:36Time up, Daniel.
18:37I think an eight.
18:38And Joseph.
18:39Just a seven.
18:40The seven is?
18:40Oh, jouster.
18:42Joyster.
18:42And Daniel, what's the eight?
18:44Jokester.
18:45Jokester.
18:46Yes, in the dictionary.
18:47No.
18:48Yeah.
18:52Because, Nina, I'd written down jokers, and I'm sure a lot of people...
18:55So I'm assuming it's just kind of the same thing, is it?
18:59A jokester and a joker?
19:00Yeah, exactly the same thing.
19:01A person fond of making jokes, or in its earliest days, a petty joker.
19:06Could be the difference.
19:06Daniel could have the last laugh because of that word.
19:09He's got a 12-point lead now as our champion, as we get numbers from Daniel.
19:14Can I have one large, please?
19:15You can indeed.
19:16Important tactics, I think.
19:18One large and five little.
19:19You're playing it as safe as you can do.
19:21This round is one, ten, four, eight, two, and a large one, 75.
19:28And the target to reach 218.
19:312-1-8.
19:32Numbers up.
19:33We'll be Wright.
19:36From this minute.
19:37This round is a plausible.
19:39Let's talk about these.
19:392-1-8 the target, Joseph.
20:052-1-8.
20:06And Daniel?
20:062-1-7.
20:08Wow, a big moment, Joseph.
20:09Let's see if you're right.
20:1110 minus 4.
20:136.
20:146 over 2 is 3.
20:16Yep.
20:17Times 75.
20:18Times 75.
20:192-2-5.
20:19And then 8 minus 1.
20:21And 8 minus 1 gives you 7.
20:27And just like that, we have no idea anymore
20:30who's going to have the last laugh.
20:32But let's give you the tea time teaser, Riot Clan.
20:35Riot Clan.
20:36The path of deception is up there in the sky.
20:39The path of deception is up there in the sky.
20:41The path of deception is up there in the sky.
21:03Susie, is that the chemical trail out of the back of a jumbled jet?
21:09Yeah, I'm sure about the chemical.
21:10It's condensation, really.
21:11It's short for condensation trail.
21:12So it's like a vapour trail, the white streak that you get from a plane across the sky.
21:16Brilliant stuff.
21:17Right.
21:17Everything up for grabs and countdown today.
21:20Joseph, our challenger, just two points behind, and it's your letters.

22:39Double bill from Joseph and Daniel.
22:41Nina, what have you got?
22:42Um, I've got moxie.
22:44Yeah.
22:45But I don't know if that's an actual word.
22:46Yeah, I love moxie.
22:47It means determination or strength of character.
22:50It used to be a fruit-flavoured drink, like Lovely Jubbly.
22:53Oh, nice.
22:54Moxie?
22:55Moxie.
22:55OK, beautiful.
22:57Daniel, Joseph, here we go.
22:58Let's move on.

23:40It's at the beginning.
23:40It's at the end.
23:41gesé.
23:44It's.
23:45We'll just.
23:47And then.
23:47A consonant.
23:49Two.
23:51棄ما.
23:52Joseph? Seven.
24:05Daniel? Seven as well.
24:07What have you gone for, Joseph? Looting.
24:09Yeah, and what have you gone for, Daniel?
24:11The same.
24:12Ina, anything beyond that?
24:14I have a gigolo at six.
24:16I've got to go.
24:18Wouldn't we all like that?
24:2063 plays 61.
24:22As we sit back and get more origins of words from Susie Dent.
24:26Where are we going today?
24:27Well, I've got some more colourful idioms from other languages for you today.
24:31Love that.
24:32And I should preface this by saying that some of them may not be still current,
24:37so these may be slightly older ones.
24:39Also, they're slightly insulting, because I'm dwelling on insults today.
24:43And it's true in English as well.
24:45If you look in the dictionary for synonyms for beautiful,
24:47you'll find far fewer than if you look for ugly,
24:49which is a sad reflection on human nature.
24:52But I'm going to give you some idioms to describe people
24:55who are less, perhaps, than attractive.
24:57So, in Gilbertese, this is spoken in Oceania,
25:00if you have a kimanga-manga,
25:02you have a ridiculous walk and a defective bottom,
25:05which is a bit strange.
25:07Sorry, let me write that down,
25:09because I may need to see my doctor about that.
25:11How do you spell it?
25:12Kimanga-manga.
25:13Yeah, that's me.
25:14In Norwegian, apparently, you're called sea ugly,
25:17meaning you're so ugly that the tide won't come in
25:19if you're on the shore, which is horrible.
25:22And in French, I do quite like this one.
25:24It's very dark.
25:25You are described as
25:26which literally means you're ugly enough
25:29to stop the wheels of a hearse.
25:33Sorry.
25:34Yeah, all very mean.
25:36So, sticking with insults,
25:38if you want to tell somebody to go away
25:40a bit more strongly,
25:42in Portuguese, you will say,
25:43go to the fava bean, which I like.
25:45In Finnish, ski into a spruce.
25:48So, you like the sort of the cultural appropriateness
25:51of all of these.
25:51And in Latvian, go mushrooming.
25:53Yeah.
25:54And in Spanish, you can take a bath,
25:56go find watercress,
25:57go fry doughnuts or gargle,
26:00which is another strange one.
26:01But in Arabic, I think,
26:03possibly the best insult of the lot.
26:05It translates as
26:06may the fleas of a thousand camels
26:08infest your armpits.
26:11Yes.
26:12So, there you go.
26:12And if you want a really strange one,
26:14and I can just about pronounce this one,
26:17this is in Austria,
26:18and I apologise in advance for this one.
26:20Du kannst mir gern den bukel runterrutschen
26:23and mit der Zunge bremsen,
26:24which means you can slide down my hunchback
26:26using your tongue as a brake.
26:28LAUGHTER
26:31Well, well, well, well, well, well.
26:34Joseph, let's get some more letters.

27:49Mmm. It's in. Ogre-ish behaviour.
27:52Wow. Very good.
27:56Wonderful. Wonderful stuff.
27:58So the lead switches hands again.

28:54Nail-biting stuff. Joseph?
29:10Just a five. Daniel? Six.
29:14Joseph, what's a five? Tripe.
29:16Tripe. Something I talk a lot of. What's a six?
29:19Pewter. Pewter.
29:21Absolutely brilliant. Yes, well done.
29:23Just back and forth. It's everything we want.
29:25And there was another six there with Pee-Wit.
29:27Pee-Wit, as in, like, Pee-Brain?
29:30Oh, no, it's as in the beautiful Northern Lapwing.
29:33Oh, right. Well, I can't believe I didn't know the Northern Lapwings.
29:35I do apologise. Susie, my goodness me.
29:39Nina, what did you have?
29:41I had five with right.
29:43Great stuff. 69 plus 68.
29:46Our champion is back in the lead as we get our last numbers now.
29:51And, Joseph, it's you choosing.
29:52Just go for one large, please.
29:54Are you banking on the conundrum?
29:57We will see. A possible crucial conundrum.
30:00And Daniel's last chance to avoid it.
30:01Right, five little ones for the final time today.
30:04The numbers are 10, 7, 8, 3, 9.
30:09And the big one, 25.
30:12And the target, 388.
30:13388.
30:15388.
30:15Numbers up.
30:16388.
30:18398.
30:19399.
30:19398.
30:20395.
30:24398.
30:254019.
30:263910.
30:28So he's the person on the one, he'll be able to leave.
30:30Oh, now.
30:31There's no problem.
30:31He's the person.
30:33409.
30:3540.
30:36409.
30:37409.
30:3840.
30:38509.
30:3931.

30:4242.
30:4242.
30:4442.
30:4442.
30:4442.
30:45Time's up, 3.88.
30:49Daniel?
30:503.87.
30:51Joseph?
30:523.89, not written down.
30:53You go first, Joseph.
30:569 plus 7.
30:5816.
30:59Times 25.
31:00Times 25, 400.
31:02Minus a 10.
31:03Minus the 10, 3.90.
31:06Oh, I've gone wrong and used the number twice.
31:08Aw.
31:09Never worry.
31:10Never worry, because Daniel didn't get it bang on,
31:14so we will have a crucial countdown conundrum,
31:16but Daniel, just confirm you're one away.
31:19Subtract the three from where Joseph ended.
31:22Yeah, and it gets you to one below.
31:24It doesn't change anything, like Colin says, but one away.
31:27Wow.
31:28Wow, wow, wow.
31:30Rachel?
31:31Did you get it, Colin?
31:32No, because I'm too nervous.
31:34OK, OK, I was just checking.
31:35I thought you might want some glory.
31:37With this one, you could have said 8 plus 7 is 15.
31:40Times that by 25 for 375, and then add the 10 and the 3.
31:45One way to get there.
31:46Wonderful, wonderful.
31:50Well, it comes down to this.
31:53Fingers on buzzers.
31:54Sir Alex Ferguson never said,
31:56it's comanga-manga time,
31:58as we reveal today's crucial countdown conundrum.
32:01It's Joseph.
32:06Comedian.
32:06Let's have a look.
32:08Praise the Lord.
32:15That feels like the Oscars to me right now, Joseph.
32:18Yes.
32:18You should be thanking people all that time
32:21after running into a series champion all those years ago.
32:24Now you're a champion yourself.
32:25How does that feel?
32:26I just lost the words, really.
32:28Yeah.
32:29Well, listen, you better not be,
32:30because you've got to do it again tomorrow.
32:31So, if you're lost for words, you'll be one and done.
32:33Brilliant.
32:33We'll see you tomorrow.
32:35Daniel, it's such a shame to lose you three wins,
32:38so you get the teapot, which every 17-year-old wants.
32:41You get your goodie bag and everything.
32:44And, Daniel, 27, you can come back and do it all again.
32:47Yeah, great.
32:48Put you in the spot here, Susie.
32:50We started talking about fashion.
32:52Why catwalk?
32:54Catwalk.
32:55I looked this up for you, Colin.
32:56In the 19th century, catwalk was a really narrow alleyway,
32:59so it's the narrow platform upon which cat's models kind of slink along.
33:04Yeah.
33:04Like when you see a catwalking along a yard, the wall at the back of the yard.
33:08Short and narrow.
33:08Wonderful stuff.
33:09Nina, thank you so much.
33:11For your time, as always.
33:12On the catwalk gear, and you're too sexy for this show, Colin.
33:15I tell you what.
33:16If only.
33:17If only.
33:17Should we shimmy on out of here?
33:18Let's go.
33:18Let's do it.
33:20Blue steel.
33:22Rachel, Susie, and I will be back tomorrow.
