00:20APPLAUSE
00:32Hello and welcome to Countdown.
00:34On this day in 1846, Peter Kyle Fabergé was born
00:39and a Fabergé egg is now worth £25 million.
00:44Have you got one, Rachel?
00:46I haven't, unfortunately, but I think they have ended up
00:49on flea markets and various things.
00:51I've said it before, but my favourite museum in the entire world
00:54I've been to was the Fabergé Museum in St Petersburg,
00:57which nobody will be going to now, so you'll have to take my word for it,
01:00but all the artefacts in there, there's just a beautiful curation
01:03and they used to get them for the Tsars and they used to, I think,
01:06make them for Easter presents and there's always, like,
01:09a tiny little surprise hidden in the big, you know, specially made ones.
01:12It's just beautiful stuff.
01:15Ian is still here.
01:17How many games?
01:19This will be number six.
01:21Fantastic.
01:23And you're not very showy with your knowledge and your skill,
01:27but you're still here.
01:29Yeah. Determination.
01:31Yeah, I'm sure not.
01:33And you're an artist in your spare time.
01:36Yep.
01:37And you do half marathons in the Alps,
01:40but unfortunately and disappointingly for me,
01:43you don't wear the lederhosen.
01:46No. No, I'll try my best next time.
01:48It's always the first time.
01:50Absolutely.
01:51Now, competing with you is Will from Banbury.
01:53Hello.
01:54What do you do?
01:55I'm an accountant for a veterinary hospital.
01:57Well, that's more fun than being an accountant for a celeb.
02:01I don't know about that, Anne.
02:03And do you deal with the pets and their finances?
02:06Oh, no, no.
02:08I just say hello to them in the morning when I walk through reception.
02:11That's about it, really.
02:12Yeah. Do they say hello, Will, back?
02:15They just look at me really sad because they haven't come to the vets.
02:18Have you got a dog?
02:20No, my parents have a dog and my sister has a dog, but not me, no.
02:23What sort of dogs?
02:24They both have Parsons Russells.
02:26Oh, I'm a great respecter of Russells.
02:29Nice names?
02:31Scruffy and Buster.
02:32Oh, I don't think so.
02:34Round of applause for our contestants.

02:40Hi, Susie. Hi, Anne.

02:49this, author of a new book on the Queen of our times.
02:54It's so sick.
02:55I shouldn't think your family have been round you for long
02:59in the last two years, have they?
03:01No, but they've got, you know, good firewood when the time comes.
03:05Good. Let's get on with the first game.

12:04Yep.

12:06Yep, that gets you to one away.
12:08Well done.
12:10Rachel?
12:11I was one away as well, so you have to leave this one with me.
12:14Thank you.
12:15Our Dictionary Corner guest is Robert Hartman,
12:18who's done nearly as many royal tours as the Queen.
12:23She's travelled everywhere, hasn't she?
12:25She has travelled almost everywhere.
12:27I mean, if you just look at the Commonwealth, 54 countries,
12:30she's been to all but two of them, Cameroon, I think, and Rwanda.
12:34She's been, I mean, every continent, certainly.
12:38The one place she hasn't been is somewhere named after her,
12:40which is a large expanse of Antarctica,
12:42but I think we'll forgive her that.
12:44I'm interested in your book because the story of the Britannia yacht
12:50is, in fact, a bit more complicated than it seems,
12:54which was that the Labour government just got rid of it.
12:58Yeah, the end of Britannia was very convoluted
13:01because the Tory government at the last minute of the 1997 election
13:05said, we're going to build one, so Labour said, well, we're not,
13:08and it became a political issue,
13:10and the royals can't get involved in political issues.
13:12Labour won, so the yacht went.
13:14But it went all over the world with her,
13:16and it was the nearest she could get to really retreating from the world.
13:21All the crew became old friends. She knew them all by their names.
13:24So that sad day when it was decommissioned in 1997 was, for her,
13:28it really was a bereavement.
13:31I didn't know, and your book tells us,
13:34that she had offered to get rid of it much earlier on.
13:38Yes, there was a financial crisis in the late 60s,
13:41and she did say to the government of the day,
13:43look, we've all got to do our bit.
13:45I'm happy to surrender the yacht if it helps.
13:47And actually, the government said, well, actually, it won't help,
13:50so you hang on to it.
13:51But, no, she was a realist.
13:53I mean, she never asked for another one when they got rid of it.
13:56I mean, she can't. It was a political decision to build it.
13:59It was taken by a Labour government, actually, of Clement Attlee,
14:02and that's the way it was.
14:05But, I mean, she went all round the world on it
14:07shortly before it was retired.
14:10It sailed its one millionth mile while the Queen was on board,
14:13and she went down to the engine room and cut a ribbon and cut a cake.
14:17And, of course, the one person who was very cross about it going,
14:20didn't want it to go whenever she'd offered it,
14:23was Prince Philip, wasn't he?
14:25Well, I mean, for him, you know, as a former distinguished sailor,
14:29you know, he was his sort of last link, if you like.
14:32It was the one sort of ship where he could go up to the bridge
14:34and sort of take charge, and he loved it.
14:37He played a very key role, actually, in designing it.
14:40He made lots of sort of little changes to the design and the colour scheme.
14:44It's very hard to work out, with the two of them,
14:47what Philip was very much in charge of
14:50and what she didn't make an argument about
14:54if he said something was going to happen.
14:56Can you explain that?
14:57Well, it was a tricky one,
14:59because here was this classic kind of wartime man of action,
15:02and they married soon after the war,
15:05and suddenly, when she became Queen,
15:07he was, you know, walking two paces behind,
15:10and all the key decisions about the running of the country
15:13went straight to the Queen,
15:15and he wasn't allowed to even, you know, look inside the red boxes.
15:18So, to sort of balance that,
15:20she was very keen to sort of give him his lead in private matters,
15:24so he was allowed to decide where the children went to school.
15:28She put him in charge of all the royal estates
15:30as soon as she became Queen.
15:31She had quite a lot on her plate.
15:33He was very much...
15:35Behind closed doors, he was head of the family,
15:37but obviously in public, she's head of the family.
15:40And I'm not sure we know the total detail
15:43of that extraordinary childhood and his need to be resourceful.
15:48Yes, I mean, here's someone whose mother was taken off
15:52to a sanatorium when he was a little boy,
15:54and he didn't see her for nearly ten years.
15:57And they had no money, did they?
15:59By royal standards, they were pretty poor.
16:01I mean, he was incredibly royal.
16:03I mean, his great-aunt was the last tsarina.
16:05The last tsar was his great-uncle.
16:07You know, he was related to pretty much every royal family in Europe,
16:10but his father was the youngest son, and, yeah,
16:13he inherited from his father, I think,
16:15he inherited a hairbrush and a suit.
16:17And during school holidays,
16:20he was sort of trying to find someone to stay with.
16:23Yeah, he would sometimes...
16:25He'd be sent off to sort of stay with a relative
16:27on the other side of Europe.
16:29He was a young man, aged ten or 12,
16:31and was expected to find his way to Italy.
16:33At one point, he went all the way to visit,
16:35stay with his cousin, the King of Romania.
16:37Robert Hardeman. Thank you.
16:39APPLAUSE
16:42And, Rex, we've got numbers.
16:44Yeah, far less impressive than hearing about the King of Romania,
16:47but you could have said nine times ten is 90,
16:51add the one for 91,
16:53four times two is eight,
16:55times those together for 728,
16:58and take away the 50,
17:00and you get to 678.

25:26Thank you.
25:27And over to you, Susie.
25:29Thanks, Anne.
25:30Would you ever describe your hair colour as auburn?
25:33It is a reddish brown.
25:35It was brighter than it is now.
25:37I will tell you the history about auburn.
25:39Great.
25:40It is quite surprising.
25:42It is a reddish brown, isn't it?
25:44We almost exclusively use it now for hair.
25:46I don't think we really talk about anything else being auburn.
25:49It has always been connected with colour.
25:51But originally it meant a very, very different colour indeed.
25:54Because ultimately it goes back to the Latin albus,
25:57which meant white.
25:59And that led to an adjective which was alburnus,
26:02which for the Romans meant off-white.
26:04So it was a kind of sort of creamy yellow colour, I suppose.
26:07And when English got it from Old French, it was spelled a-u-b-o-r-n-e.
26:13And it didn't refer to the shade of reddish brown that we know today,
26:16but again to this yellowish white colour.
26:18So quite blonde, if you think about it in terms of hair.
26:21Quite a white blonde.
26:22Very fair indeed.
26:23But if you have got the a-u-b-o-r-n-e,
26:27it looks a little bit like brown.
26:29And in fact it was confused with the French for brown brun.
26:33And eventually it morphed into a completely different understanding altogether,
26:37which was the brown and the reddish brown that we know today.
26:40So very, very pale beginnings compared with its modern meaning.
26:44But albus, that Latin word,
26:46that gave us lots and lots of different words in English.
26:49So it gave us albion, which was the old word for England.
26:53And that was due to the White Cliffs of Dover.
26:56So the colour white was its symbol.
26:58It gave us albino.
26:59It gave us the albumen of an egg, which was the egg whites.
27:02And of course it gave us the album.
27:05And the album in classical times, for the Romans at least, was a board.
27:08And it was chalk white.
27:09Again, the white comes into play here.
27:11And on it would be printed public notices
27:14and they would be inscribed in black.
27:17And that word was revived in the 16th century
27:20where scholars, for example, would keep an album amicorum,
27:24which meant a collection of colleagues' signatures.
27:27And then album moved to mean book with blank or white leaves
27:31meant to collect signatures and other souvenirs.
27:34In other words, very like an autograph album.
27:36And Samuel Johnson in his dictionary defined it as
27:39a book in which foreigners have long been accustomed
27:41to insert autographs of celebrated people.
27:44Album became the word for, you know,
27:47a place where you would keep photographs in 1859, I think,
27:51so quite early on.
27:53And then the 1950s, it was applied to the gramophone records
27:57that we know today, the albums that we love,
27:59because the sleeves that they came in
28:02resembled these large white tablets used in Roman times.
28:05Gosh, thank you, Susie.
