00:30Hello, everybody. I hope you had a really good weekend.
00:34Nice to have you back for another week of Countdown.
00:36Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:38And it all begins by saying hello to our dedicated follower fractions,
00:42Rachel Riley.
00:44I like that. I'm going to use that.
00:46Well, obviously, dedicated follower fashion is the kink song.
00:50And I want to talk to you because of our challenge here today
00:52about wardrobe malfunctions.
00:54Now, actually, breaking news, on Thursday of last week,
00:57you didn't see it because it happened off camera.
01:00You did have a wardrobe malfunction.
01:02Your dress was done up with a bow and it came out.
01:06You were like a ninja.
01:08It was dumped back up in a second.
01:10Yeah, belts coming undone.
01:11That'll be headlines.
01:12Have you had any others?
01:14I have.
01:15I remember one of the first times I was on 8 Out Of 10 Cats,
01:18the proper one, not this version,
01:20I was wearing a jumpsuit.
01:21I was behind a desk, thankfully, because I was wearing a jumpsuit
01:26and when I got up at the end of the show,
01:27it split all down the crotch,
01:30which is just not really what you want when you're on telly.
01:32But like I say, there was a desk there, so it was fine.
01:34It wasn't this version, it wasn't standing up.
01:36And you looked over at Susie there and I have to say,
01:38the most common wardrobe malfunction in this room
01:41is top on inside out.
01:43Yeah, back to front, labels hanging out, that's me.
01:45Really?
01:46Yeah.
01:46Oh, yeah, it's like once a week.
01:49Well, on that note, seeing as you've mentioned her,
01:51and we will mention Susie Dent,
01:53back for another week.
01:54And I always love, look, we have our favourites
01:56that come on Dictionary Corner,
01:58but having debutantes is always an absolute joy
02:00and it's been a while since we've been chasing this man
02:03in the Dictionary Corner and we finally got him.
02:05Delighted to welcome the actor and comedian, Chris McCausland!
02:11You're greeted by a three-time champion,
02:14going for his fourth this week,
02:15so he could be an octo-champ by the time we say goodbye to Chris.
02:18Paul O'Brien's back, are you, Paul?
02:19Hello, hello.
02:20You're up against Jack Shepard from Sheldon in Birmingham.
02:24How are you, sir?
02:24Yeah, good, thank you.
02:25Good stuff.
02:26You're a primary school teacher and a maths lead,
02:29so more teachers.
02:30Question.
02:31Secondary school against primary school today.
02:33And actually, your wardrobe malfunction is connected to your job.
02:38It is, yeah.
02:39I was being observed in a lesson
02:41and the head teacher was actually doing the observation,
02:43which isn't always the case.
02:45And straight away, I was teaching about 3D shapes,
02:48so it's quite practical, quite hands-on.
02:50And the head teacher came round
02:52and as about five minutes had gone,
02:55I split my trousers.
02:56So, for the rest of the lesson,
02:59I sort of shuffled around the nearest tables
03:02and then got feedback at the end of,
03:04yeah, the lesson was really good,
03:06but you didn't move around enough.
03:08So, at one point, I said,
03:09there is a reason for that,
03:11and they explained,
03:13and, yeah, it was a good lesson.
03:15So, you came clean about it?
03:16I came clean about it.
03:17My bum was hanging out, that's why.
03:20Yeah.
03:21He did the one on the show.
03:24And here endeth the lesson.
03:25Well, let's see who drops the least stitches today.
03:27Jack and Paul, give it up.
03:28APPLAUSE
03:29Mr O'Brien, let's have some letters.
03:33Let's start with a vowel, please, Rachel.

04:55Yeah.
04:55Susie and Chris?
04:56We've got instated, apparently.
04:59And I'd like to claim any little bit of responsibility for this,
05:03but I didn't even know you could have it.
05:04You can be reinstated,
05:06but you don't often think you can be instated.
05:08So, to be instated, is that the first time?
05:10Exactly, to be installed in position or whatever.
05:13Yeah, but we'll give you an eight.
05:15And there is also land ties, or there are land ties,
05:19beams or pieces of masonry that support a wall or other structure.
05:22Very nice.
05:23Instated and land ties.
05:25Jack, you're in control of the letters for the first time on national TV.
05:29Go for your life.

08:35Due nasty. Due nasty. Due to a nasty virus,
08:38he was struggling to stay upright.
08:40Due to a nasty virus, he was struggling to stay upright.
08:48MUSIC PLAYS
08:50APPLAUSE
08:53Welcome back. Due to a nasty virus, he was struggling to stay upright.
09:03Due nasty becomes unsteady.
09:06Certainly, your challenger is not that.
09:07An early lead for Jack, and you're picking the letters.
09:12May I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:14Thank you, Jack.

10:15.
10:16Jack.
10:19Er, a risky six.
10:21A risky six. And Paul?
10:23Yeah, six. Jack, what's risky?
10:25Er, whoring.
10:26Spell? H-A-W-I-N-G.
10:29Yeah, and Paul?
10:30Whinge.
10:31Whinge. Is he whinging about whoring?
10:34Er, I did look that one up. So, hewing is in, as in chopping, hewing down something.
10:38But whoring is only in with hemming and whoring, you know, when you're sort of hesitating.
10:43But not on its own, I'm afraid, Jack. I'm sorry.
10:45There you go.
10:46Anything else for us? Susie and Chris, are they?
10:49No, nothing beyond six.
10:51Whinge. Do a lot of whinging, especially with the football last season, Colt.
10:54Yes, definitely, mate.
10:56You know, that was the only one that stood out.
10:58Yeah, that's it. Sometimes it's that straightforward, so we can just move on.
11:01Paul, get more letters.
11:02I'll start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
11:04Thank you, Paul.
11:06V.

11:24U.
11:26A consonant.
11:30P.
11:32And I'll go for one more vowel, please.
11:35And lastly, A.
11:39And half a minute for you all.
11:40And half a minute for you all.
11:40Oh, thank you all.
11:41Themen here, we'll be here.
11:42I'll be here.

12:29There's a nine, Cole.
12:30No, first nine of the week loaded up.
12:33Supernova.
12:34Oh, yes.
12:35APPLAUSE
12:36We need a glass of champagne to that.
12:39Yes.
12:40Obviously, it's from astronomy and it's a star that suddenly increases in brightness,
12:44but it's because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass.
12:49Yeah, there you go.
12:50Yeah.
12:51Let's get our second numbers round.
12:53Then primary school, back ahead of secondary school.
12:56Let's get your numbers.
12:57Yeah, I said I would do it if I came on, so I'm going to have six small, please.
12:59Six small ones for the kids.
13:00Is this how you play in class?
13:02They moan at me every time I don't put a bigger number up there.
13:05That sounds like...
13:06They'll have me for that as well.
13:07Well, Colin is at their level with all of them.

13:52Just aτικ.
13:54Did six small pay off Jack I got three three six Paul three three five
14:01I'll do you I'll give you seven points if you're right. So eight times eight
14:05Eight times eight sixty four plus three plus three sixty seven times by five times
14:12Don't sound so worried. Yep
14:14three hundred and thirty five a three three four Rachel
14:18Right if you say eight times eight is
14:21Sixty-four and then times that by five you get
14:25320 and you have a seven a three and a four to add on three three four. There you go
14:33First time this week to catch up with Chris McCausland
14:35We're gonna get to know you so well this week. No stranger to Channel 4, eh? No
14:41The viewers might be might be sick of me by now. I've done quite a bit recently
14:46The I did a travel show called wonders of the world. I can't see yeah
14:50And um basically what it was is I am I genuinely I'm not a good traveler
14:56I don't enjoy it. I don't see the point in traveling a lot when you when you know
14:59I can't see anything
15:00So what's the point in going to look at the thing that everyone goes to look at the big wonder of the world?
15:05So if someone's gonna describe it to them, you might as well do it from a photo at home
15:08Yeah save a lot of effort so Channel 4 went yeah, well, let's make a show about that
15:12That's how you get a travel show these days you go. I don't see the point of this and they go well, let's do it
15:18Talk me through you know sort of the ones that really were able to come to life for those people who are visually impaired
15:24Well the good thing is about I mean like the good thing about the show is we immerse ourselves in the culture around the wonder
15:29Like the idea is that there's these guys I go with like a different person each episode Harry Hill goes can't Tom Allen Lisa
15:35Tarbuck and they have to prove to me that it was worth you know
15:38There's more going on there than just going to look at the wonder
15:41Yeah, some of them were very much worth it others like the Treasury in Jordan
15:46I mean I was with Guz Khan. I still don't know what it is to be honest
15:49I don't think he knew he was just he just kept on going it's a massive door, bro. It's a massive
15:54The thing is is like when you go to Jordan, you know, and you are really having a wall described to you
16:01There's not a lot in that but there's so much going on around it. It's just the incredible culture and
16:07and the surrounding area makes it more worth what makes the trip worthwhile
16:12Whereas when you go to Niagara Falls the wonder itself is so multi-sensory all-encompassing all-powerful
16:20But then you turn your back to it and the surrounding area is like is like Blackpool in the 80s
16:27It's so it's surrounded this wonderful
16:31Feat of nature, you know incredible feet of nature is surrounded with with tack really but it's it's all being received very very well
16:39And as I say we did other things that we went
16:42We went axe-throwing me and Lisa and she's still alive. Spoiler alert
16:46She got away with that me and Tom believe it or not. We got taught opera at the Rome Opera House now
16:52Yes, it's not often you get to do that on your holiday. Is it Chris? Thank you so much
17:00Let's get more letters now Paul I'll start with a consonant please Rachel. Thank you Paul C and another one
