00:30Au revoir. Welcome to Countdown. Thank you for tuning in. You know it makes sense. Let's get straight over there and say Bonnie de Douche de Rachel Riley.
00:40You know what's a good nine-letter word? Mange tu. Mange tu. Wonderful. So all the references, of course.
00:46Only Fools and Horses on this day first aired in 1981. Did not do well. In fact, took a while to get a second series.
00:55And then they had the chandelier episode where Grandad hits the wrong chandelier and it smashes everywhere.
01:02And the producer goes in and says to David Jason and Nicholas Lindhurst, this is it. The whole future of Only Fools and Horses depends on you two not laughing.
01:10Because we don't have the money to do this again. And when you watch the scene, you can see the fear in their eyes.
01:16And without that, we wouldn't have had that great history. If they had a laugh, we may not have had the great history.
01:21Well, listen, let's go over and say hello to the Marlene de My Boise in Dixonry Corner.
01:27Susie Dent.
01:27Well, we know everything's going to be cushy once more, because besides is the brilliant Nina Wadia.
01:38Of course, Nina, not Only Fools and Horses, but still open all hours.
01:41Yes, yeah, I got very, very lucky to get the chance to work with Sir David Jason on that. So, yeah.
01:47Well, if you want a best and you don't ask questions, then Joseph Bartram is your man, our new champion.
01:53And a fan of Only Fools and Horses?
01:55Yeah, yeah. A few years ago, we went to the Dreamland in Margate, where they filmed the Joy Boys outing.
02:01Yes, love that. What's my favourite special out of them all? That's good.
02:06Right, well, we're on the right subject for you today, but the man you're going to have to be,
02:10he isn't from Mamoosh in Shepherds Bush, he's actually from Ashford and Kent, same as you, Joseph.
02:15So, let's say hello to Adam Brown. Hi, Adam.
02:18Hello.
02:18Nice to have you in here today. Now, you're in a bit of a predicament at the moment.
02:21We had a good chat just before the titles rolled. So, you're a curry fanatic, but you've just turned vegetarian,
02:29so you're having to rewrite the entire rulebook on what you ate.
02:32On a journey of discovery.
02:34Well, so, what, a chicken jalfrezi, something like that?
02:37That was the best one. I've got to go for paneer now.
02:40You're looking at paneer. Spinach and potatoes, very good. I like the curry myself.
02:44And there's a Pakistani courgette curry.
02:47Let's try it.
02:47Well, let's see if you can bring the heat today against our champion, Joseph and Adam, everybody.
02:54All right, will Joseph have the recipe for success again?
02:57Nine letters to start us off, Joseph.
02:59Hello, make sure...
03:01Hi, Joseph.
03:02Consonant, please.
03:03Thank you, Joseph.
03:04B.
03:05And a vowel.

03:24I.
03:26And a consonant.
03:27And lastly, H.
03:30At home and in the studio, let's play Coyntown.
03:32We'll be right.
03:34There you go.
04:03What time is up, Joseph?
04:05Seven.
04:06And Adam?
04:06Just a six.
04:07What's a six?
04:08Pilate.
04:09And Joseph?
04:10Hoplite.
04:11A hoplite, Susie?
04:13Yes, a hoplite is an armed foot soldier, or was in ancient Greece.
04:17That is brilliant.
04:18Unfortunately, you can't have a singular pilate,
04:21and pilates itself is capitalised,
04:23so sorry to discount that on both.
04:25Nina, what have you got?
04:26I've got a seven with potable.
04:29Drinkable.
04:30Drinkable.
04:30Very nice.
04:31Drinkable.
04:32Drinkable.
04:33Phablet is also there.
04:34P-H-A-B-L-E-T,
04:36which is a very large smartphone that is almost a tablet.
04:39Weird and wonderful words to kick off today's countdown,
04:42and it's your first time choosing the letters, Adam.
04:44Hi, Rachel.
04:44Can I get a consonant, please?
04:46You can indeed.
04:47S.
04:47And another consonant.
04:50T.
04:51And a vowel.
04:53E.
04:55And another vowel, please.
04:57O.
04:58And a consonant.
05:00F.
05:02And a consonant.
05:03M.
05:05And another consonant, please.
05:07R.
05:08And a vowel.
05:10I.
05:11And another consonant, please.
05:13And lastly, N.
05:16Here we go.
05:16So here we go.
05:29Bye.
05:30Bye.
05:32Bye.
05:33Bye.
05:34Bye.
05:34How did you get on, Adam?
05:48Just a six.
05:49And Joseph?
05:50Seven.
05:51I'm not sure you're that sure about that one.
05:53Adam, what's the six?
05:54Foster.
05:55And Joseph, why the raised voice?
05:56Informs.
05:57Oh, there's no worries with that.
05:58I will inform you that that is correct before even checking with Susie.
06:01Yeah, absolutely fine.
06:02Brilliant.
06:02And what about you, Nina?
06:03We're going to add anything to that?
06:05I've got a seven with mentors.
06:07Mentors.
06:08Informs.
06:08Like, connection with those.
06:10But come on.
06:10Inform me of something better.
06:11Yeah, mentor, monster, lots of sevens.
06:13But there is an eight with fermions.
06:16And fermions in physics are subatomic particles.
06:18Fantastic.
06:19Cosmic stuff.
06:20Well done.
06:23All right, Joseph.
06:24Really good start for the champion.
06:26Let's see how you get on with the numbers.
06:27So, with this one last, please.
06:29Thank you, Joseph.
06:30One from the top.
06:31Let's go further this end for your five little ones.
06:34And the first numbers of this contest are one, nine, eight, three, another three and twenty-five.
06:42And the target to reach 821.
06:45821.
06:46Numbers up.
06:47The subject of this contest is nightclub.
06:50We should have driven by a master's report.
06:50321.
06:51See you next week.
07:048.21, we're just to 25.
07:19How close did you get, Adam?
07:21I think I've got 8.21.
07:22OK, and what about you, Joseph?
07:23Oh, 8.27.
07:24Adam, this would be audacious.
07:26Let's have it.
07:273 times 8 is 24.
07:303 times 8, 24.
07:32Add 9.
07:33Add 9, 33.
07:35Times 25.
07:36Times 25, 8, 2, 5.
07:38And take off the three and the one.
07:39The second three.
07:40Very nice.
07:44Brilliant.
07:45And we go into the break now.
07:4614.10 and everything to play for.
07:48And your tea time teaser is mini-blog.
07:51Mini-blog.
07:52The answer to this is a glorious word, by the way.
07:54He's not drunk, but he's on his knees at the bar.
07:57He's not drunk, but he is on his knees at the bar.
08:04The word you were looking for was limboine.
08:23Limboine, which is, of course, gets lower and lower.
08:27Used to do it when we were younger.
08:28I'd be in hospital if I tried it now.
08:30I definitely would, too.
08:31Yeah.
08:31It's an alteration of limber.
08:33Yeah.
08:33So you have to be, yeah, limbering up and very lithe to be able to do that.
08:37Absolutely.
08:38Hangover always follows limboine.
08:40That's for sure.
08:41Right.
08:41Let's get some more letters from Adam, our challenger.
08:44Good luck, mate.
08:45Thanks.
08:45Can I get a consonant, please?
08:47Thank you, Adam.
08:48D.
08:49And a vowel.
08:51U.
08:52And another vowel, please?
08:54E.
08:55Can I get a consonant?
08:57G.
08:58And another consonant.
09:00D.
09:02And another consonant, please?
09:03N.
09:04Can I get a vowel?
09:07I.
09:08And another vowel.
09:10E.
09:12And a final consonant, please?
09:13A final Q.
09:1530 seconds.
09:1630 seconds.
09:45How many, Joseph?
09:48Just a five.
09:49And how many, Adam?
09:49Six.
09:50The five, Joseph?
09:51Queen.
09:52And Adam?
09:53Guided.
09:54Guided is very good indeed.
09:55Oh, wow.
09:55Excellent.
09:56Yeah, well spotted.
09:56Well spotted.
09:57Guided gets you six points and puts you in to the lead.
10:01Always frustrating if there's not a seven there when the ING comes out,
10:05but the Q scoppers us a little bit.
10:07Nina, unless you're going to why me.
10:10I've got a six with nudged.
10:11Nudged, you see?
10:13It's not why in me.
10:14No.
10:14Indeed.
10:15No, just nudging you a bit.
10:17Anything, Suze?
10:18Yes, well, I think you maybe got there with your INDEED.
10:21Deeding is there, and to deed is to convey or transfer property by legal deed.
10:26Right.
10:26I wrote deeding and I didn't have the confidence to say it.
10:29So, there you go.
10:30And you have to declare a word, even if you're watching at home.
10:33That's how it works.
10:34Right, OK.
10:35Fantastic stuff.
10:36Let's move on and get some more letters now.
10:38Joseph, you're up.
10:39A consonant.
10:40Thank you, Joseph.
10:41S.
10:42A vowel.
10:44U.
10:45Consonant.
10:47T.
10:48Vowel.
10:50O.
10:51Consonant.
10:53D.
10:54Vowel.
10:55I.
10:57Consonant.
10:58L.
11:00Vowel.
11:02E.
11:03And a consonant.
11:06And the last one, R.
11:08Kind dine.
11:08T.
11:09Vowel.
11:19A姑.
11:19A.
11:20A.
11:22A.
11:23A.
11:23A.
11:24A.
11:32Time's up. Joseph? Eight.
11:41Brilliant. Adam? Eight.
11:42Look at this. Joseph, what's the eight?
11:45Solitude. Solitude. Will it be on its own? Adam?
11:49Outliers. It will be. Outliers and solitude.
11:51What a strong round.
11:56Hit me with it, Nina. What have you got?
11:58Outsider. Outsider.
12:00Yeah, another eight. Really good.
12:02You were trying to mouth something at me, Colin.
12:05It's an 80s word I'm sure doesn't exist,
12:08but in the days of the macho men, they used to say studlier.
12:11Oh, I think... Do you remember that?
12:13It's a word that was very much used.
12:15Someone would be studlier. It's in.
12:17No! Come on!
12:21It literally applies to nobody in this studio.
12:26No offence, Joseph, Adam. I'm criticising myself too.
12:29Adam, what's your number?
12:30Can we get two large and four small, please?
12:32You can indeed. Thank you, Adam.
12:34Two large, four little.
12:36Colin's taking everyone down with him.
12:38Right, four little ones.
12:39Three, nine, seven, two.
12:42And the big one, 75 and 100.
12:45And the target to reach?
12:48740.
12:48Yes, 740. Numbers up.
12:50Five, six, seven, three, seven.
12:51One, two, three, six.
12:55One, four.
12:58One, two, three.
12:59Five, six, seven.
12:59Five, six, seven, two.
13:00Four, three, six.
13:09Five, six, seven, seven.
13:10One, four.
13:10And one, three, five.
13:12One, three, five.
13:12So I figure this round.
13:13What we have wrong?
13:14And then we have to go.
13:15Two, three, seven, six.
13:16Five, six, seven, seven.
13:16Which one, six.
13:17Yeah!
13:187.40, Joseph.
13:237.39, not written down.
13:24One away, Adam.
13:25I've got 7.41, not written down.
13:28Both not written down. Joseph, go.
13:30Um, seven...
13:33Oh, I've gone one.
13:34No worries, Adam, go.
13:35Three plus seven is ten.
13:37Three plus seven, ten.
13:38Times 75.
13:39Times 75, 750.
13:42And one away. Yep, 7.41.
13:44I went a couple of ways, was one away, one away, one away.
13:47No matter what way I went, I am summing up the voice of the nation right now.
13:51So, Rachel, get us out of our agony.
13:52There were a few different roads to get there.
13:54One of them, he could have said 100, minus the two and minus the three for 95.
13:59Times it by seven for 665 and add the 75, 7.40.
14:09Wonderful. Just a nine point in.
14:11It's going to be a close game today.
14:13As we catch a breath and have a chat with Nina Wadia.
14:16And I'm thinking, because you, we just, whatever comes up.
14:19We were talking about only foes and horses.
14:20So, obviously, still open all hours, working with David Jason.
14:24Yeah.
14:24That's sort of entering something very iconic, isn't it?
14:27Yeah, hugely.
14:28I mean, to have any kind of revival.
14:30Because a few years ago, there were a bunch of revival shows.
14:33You know, they decided to bring back so many different things.
14:35We had a reunion, for goodness gracious me.
14:37That came back as well.
14:38But doing still open all hours to try and fit into that world with the same writer, by the way, who is unbelievable.
14:45I had to go up to Doncaster to film where the iconic little corner shop is, you know.
14:51So, it was just so incredible to work with all these people who had careers that have spanned so many years and in an iconic show that was just, bar none.
15:01And we had people line the streets while we were filming there, you know, being sort of held back.
15:06Like, oh, it was real rock star time.
15:08We never see that side of filming.
15:10Because if you think of London, you think of only Frogs and Norses and EastEnders, of course, which you were in.
15:15And, you know, you don't see that side of how difficult it is to film.
15:18But when I first moved over here to London, when I was studlier, I hosted a show called EastEnders Revealed.
15:27Oh, wow.
15:27And we used to have to stop every five minutes because it's over a flight path.
15:32Oh, my word.
15:33So, outdoor scenes in Albert Square, it's caught, right?
15:37Yes, yeah, I mean, the outdoor stuff is harder to do than the indoor, definitely.
15:42But the funniest thing is if you're filming a scene on a doorstep and you've done the indoor stuff and then you have to leave it for a week before you do all the outdoor stuff, the same scene.
15:51And there was one time where Sid Owen had gone off on holiday.
15:54He played Ricky and he came back and he was more orange when they did the show outside than he was facing inside.
16:01And there was nothing they could do about it.
16:04But they could get on with it.
16:05Yep.
16:05Love those little things when they're spotted.
16:07Brilliant, Nina.
16:08Thank you so much.
16:11Will those, Joseph, when you look exactly the same as the last time we saw you?
16:16Let's get some letters.
16:17Er, consonant.
16:19Thank you, Joseph.
16:20C.
16:21And a vowel.

16:36A.
16:37Consonant.
16:39L.
16:41Vowel.
16:43E.
16:45And a consonant.
16:47And lastly, T.
16:49Here we go.
16:49It's a ÃŽn, M.
16:55Vowel.
16:56The, you know.
17:05That's it.
17:14Vowel.
17:15A lot of potential.
17:21Let's see if it's realised.
17:22Joseph?
17:23Eight.
17:24And Adam?
17:24Seven.
17:25Wow, let's have the seven.
17:26A cremate.
17:28Yeah, cremate is there, but turning you into dust is Joseph with?
17:31Metrical.
17:32Yes.
17:33All there, well done.
17:38Nina?
17:38I was close with a miracle, but not good enough.
17:42No nines in there?
17:44It felt like I had the potential of a nine, but not good enough.
17:46It looked promising, didn't it?
17:47No, metrical for us as well.
17:48Well, it would be a miracle if this didn't go to a crucial countdown conundrum.
17:51Just one point, didn't it, as we get more letters now from Adam?
17:55Can I get a consonant, please?
17:56Thank you, Adam.
17:57G.
17:58And another consonant.
18:01J.
18:02And another consonant, please.
18:04C.
18:05Can I have a vowel?
18:07I.
18:07And another vowel.
18:09O.
18:10And one more vowel, please.
18:11A.
18:13Consonant.
18:14Y.
18:16And another consonant.
18:17T.
18:19And another consonant, please.
18:20And lastly, R.
18:22Thank you, Rachel Riley.
18:23We'll see you next time, drier.
18:30We'll see you then.
18:37Bye.
18:37Bye.
18:37Bye.
18:37Bye.
18:41Bye.
18:41Adam.
18:55I think I've got six.
18:57Joseph. Just a five.
18:59Well, let's hear the five that we know.
19:01The ratio.
19:02And let's hear the six that we think.
19:04Gator.
19:05Spell? G-A-I-T-O-R.
19:07Susie.
19:07The gators that you wear is E-R, and the gator that's short for alligator is G-A without the I, I'm afraid.
19:15So, no can do with that spelling.
19:17So, the five counts, and the lead changes hands again.
19:21So, we're loving it.
19:23Nina, what have you got?
19:24Ratio.
19:24Come on, don't tell me five's all we've got.
19:26Well, a couple of sixes, actory, meaning actorish.
19:31I'm guessing it means...
19:32Is that an insult? That would be an insult, Nina.
19:34Yeah, but if I said, in dictionary, Courtney, we've got the actory, Nina Wadia.
19:39Yes.
19:40I think it means bit ham.
19:41But there's tragic as well for sixes.
19:43Ah.
19:44There you go.
19:46The tragic actory.
19:48Right, we're on to numbers again, then.
19:50And, Joseph, what's the tactics?
19:52Just one large, please.
19:54Just one large.
19:55I'm hoping to get some points here against Adam,
19:57who's been rather hot on the numbers.
19:59Let's have a go.
20:00This time, they are 10, 8, 1, 3, another 10, and 50.
20:07And the target to reach, 743.
20:107, 4, 3, numbers up.
20:12This time, we'll be right back.

25:20Oh, it's two words

25:25You could have an out pass
25:27Oh, these little moments
25:29Nina
25:29I've got a possum
25:31Mm-hmm

25:42And we're going to have our origins of words
25:44Thank you
25:45Well, Colin
25:46If you are saying hello to somebody
25:48That you happen to see on the street
25:50What do you say?

25:58Second word
25:59Y-E
26:00Oh, about you
26:01So how
26:02OK
26:02I do
26:03This links into what I'm about to tell you today then
26:05Which is greetings
26:06Greetings from the past
26:08And a hat tip to Gary Martin here
26:12He's written a little history
26:13Of wonderful ones
26:15And I've mentioned before on Countdown
26:17That what cheer
26:18Meaning how are you
26:20What is your mood
26:20Because your cheer was your face
26:22Became watcher
26:24Centuries later
26:25But there are some other ones
26:27Over the centuries
26:29That have got a little bit lost
26:30I thought I'd tell you some of those
26:31So what ho
26:33You might associate with them
26:35Jeeves and Worcester
26:36And certainly P.G. Woodhouse
26:37Loved them
26:38Sometimes
26:38Piling them on
26:40What ho
26:40Bertie
26:41He said
26:41What ho
26:42What ho
26:42What ho
26:42And again
26:43What ho
26:43So lots of those
26:45Quite a hearty
26:46Upper crust
26:46Greeting
26:47That one
26:48There are some lovely ones
26:50From the mid 20th century
26:51So
26:51There was a time of real linguistic exuberance
26:54After the war
26:55When we loved to come up with
26:57Sort of quite fanciful formulas
26:59So this is when
26:59The bee's knees
27:00And the cat's whiskers
27:01And lots of similar
27:03Joking
27:04You know
27:05The dog's various items as well
27:07All kind of came about
27:08But here is something
27:09You might not have heard
27:10What's buzzin' cousin
27:11What's knitting kitten
27:13What's tickin' chicken
27:15What's your story
27:17Morning glory
27:17You know that one
27:18What's your tale
27:19Nightingale
27:20And what's on the agenda
27:21Brenda
27:21Which I really like
27:23But what I love
27:25Is that even though
27:25Those have fallen away
27:26Some of those
27:27Really old
27:28Old ones
27:28Like Watcher
27:29Have kind of
27:30Slightly morphed
27:31And seem like
27:31Such modern slang
27:32So that
27:33How do you do
27:34Became the archetypal
27:36Cowboys greeting
27:36Of howdy
27:37Brilliant
27:38Well cheerio for now
27:3956 players
27:4431

28:47Hens down, Joseph.
28:54Seven.
28:54And Adam.
28:56Risky six.
28:57Let's have the six.
28:58Sauté.
29:00Sauté.
29:00You've got curries in your brain here.
29:03Joseph.
29:03Nature's.
29:04Nature's.
29:05Yep, absolutely fine.
29:07No, saute, just with the E, you can have sautés or sauteed.
29:11But it's a bad luck with that one.
29:13Nina, Wadia, I have a question for you.
29:14Sure.
29:15If you know the answer to this, you'll be a hero next time you arrive at Belfast City Airport.
29:19We had bouchy, which is what they'll say to you.
29:22But I know you love your walks.
29:23So if you were going up the Antrim Coast, say, you'd be going for a...
29:28Saunter.
29:28Yes.
29:31But we do have an eight as well.
29:33No.
29:34Oh, walk on.
29:35Nausey eight.
29:36Nausey eight.
29:39That's wonderful.
29:40Nausey eight.

30:49And Joseph?
30:50Eight.
30:50The seven is?
30:51Storage.
30:52What's the eight?
30:53Portages.
30:54Portages, right.
30:55Well, he's on being a computer at the moment, isn't he?
30:58Yeah, absolutely brilliant.
31:00Portage is the price you pay for transporting goods,
31:03or it is to actually carry the goods themselves.
31:05Very good indeed.
31:06Tell you what, you're having your work cut out for you over there, Nina.
31:10Actually, I had storage.
31:12And most rounds, you're going to pick up the points,
31:15but there you go.
31:15Portages absolutely does it.
31:1740 points in it.
31:1820 left up for grabs.
31:20And, Adam, you can, let's see, it's a free go here at the numbers,
31:24so whatever you fancy.
31:25I could get two big and four small.
31:27Go crazy, have all the fun.
31:29Too large.
31:30Four little.
31:31Thank you, Adam.
31:32Final numbers of the day.
31:34Five, three, nine, eight.
31:37Analog ones, 25 and 100.
31:40Target to reach, 260.
31:43260, numbers up.
31:44That's true.
31:45I'm...
31:55I'm...
31:57I'm...
31:59...
32:08...
32:11260, how'd you get on, Adam?
32:17260.
32:18Ian, Joseph?
32:19Oh, it's too far away.
32:20Too far away.
32:21So, Adam, big ten points.
32:22Yeah, nine times 25.
32:24Nine 25s, 225.
32:27I've done it wrong already.
32:28Oh.
32:30Do you want it?
32:31There are lots of ways for this one.
32:32Have you got one, Colin?
32:32Yeah, there were a few.
32:35Nine minus eight gets you the one.
32:37You can take that away from your three.
32:39Three minus one is two.
32:41Yeah, I guess, yeah, the two,
32:43and then 100 plus 25 plus five,
32:45and then multiply them together.
32:45Yeah, very nice.
32:46But there was loads of ways, right?
32:47Loads of ways for this one.
32:49260, yeah.
32:52Well, in the Battle of Ashford,
32:54we already have our winner,
32:56but wouldn't it be good to go out
32:57with a Countdown Conundrum?
32:58Let's see if Adam can do that against Joseph,
33:01who's about to be crowned with a second win.
33:04Fingers on buzzers.
33:04Let's reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:10Nobody, no Joseph, no Adam.
33:40Nina?
33:41No.
33:42Go ahead.
33:42Well, I think it's narrowest.
33:44Let's have a look.
33:45Yes.
33:4840 points of difference.
33:50One of you had to go home to Ashford in Kent,
33:53and it's going to be Adam.
33:53The worst thing is he can't even give you a lift
33:55because he has to stay.
33:56Did you enjoy your day?
33:57I did.
33:58It was worth the experience.
33:59It's been really nice to have you.
34:01Joseph's settling in nicely over there.
34:03Lovely stuff, right?
34:04Well, don't go west, as the pet shop boys would say.
34:06We'll see you back here next time, yeah?
34:09Nina, one more for you tomorrow?
34:10Mm-hm.
34:10Lovely.
34:11And Susie, same time, same place?
34:13See you then.
34:13Wonderful.
34:14Rich, done.
34:15You know, Adam's name contains the anagram word man.
34:18He can't.
34:18I mean, who can?
34:19Well done.
34:20Right, we'll be back same time tomorrow.
34:22Only fools and horses would miss it.
