00:04APPLAUSE
00:16Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:19I don't know whether you've stumbled across the same articles I did
00:22quite recently about an American, American bloke in Oregon
00:26who had a very lucky escape, actually.
00:28And what happened, apparently, Rachel, was that he climbed into
00:32a recycling bin full of cardboard and fell asleep.
00:35So the refuse truck pulled up.
00:38He was lifted up in this bin, put in, and gently crushed.
00:44I think it may have been the sound of his snapping leg that woke him up.
00:49I'm sorry, but apparently that was it.
00:51Suddenly, anyway, he shouted out and they stopped everything
00:55and he survived.
00:56My word, I almost refuse to believe it. Would you believe it?
00:59Oh, boom, boom. I know, I know.
01:01But thinking about places that, you know, one's slept in that are unusual...
01:06I remember when I used to be sent across the Irish Sea,
01:10I used to save the money I'd been given by my loving mum and dad
01:14for a little cabin.
01:16I used to undo the tarpaulin on the lifeboat that was slung over the side
01:22and snuck in there and sleep overnight in there.
01:25Saved the cabin money.
01:27Did you ever find yourself waking up somewhere rather odd?
01:30I think it's a male thing. So many men I know do that.
01:33Well, my favourite story, my friend is half Japanese.
01:36He was in Japan. He missed the last tube home.
01:38He managed to go into a hotel that he wasn't staying at
01:41and he woke up trouserless in a lift surrounded by Japanese security.
01:47And they led him off to the security room and showed him videos
01:50of him going into the lift, going onto the roof, taking his trousers off,
01:53going back into the lift and falling asleep.
01:55I've got plenty of stories like that about male friends
01:57and none about female friends.
01:59Because you mix with very sober girls.
02:01Sensible, sensible girls.
02:03All right. Now, Rachel, we've got Andrew McLeod back yet again.
02:07And you remember on Friday he completed his fourth good win
02:10and now he's heading, hopefully, to become an OctoChamp.
02:13Very high score on Friday, I think. 122?
02:16Yeah.
02:17Now then, you're joined, Andrew, by Rory MacDonald,
02:21a trainee accountant from Harpenden.
02:23Welcome, Rory.
02:24Loves performing, plays guitar and the piano.
02:28Now then, apparently, you once found yourself
02:31in an Austrian village surrounded by cows.
02:34What was going on there?
02:35I did a coach trip to Oktoberfest Beer Festival in Munich a couple of years ago.
02:40We were staying in an Austrian village.
02:42We went out that evening after a few too many drinks.
02:45I'd lost the group and couldn't make my way back to the hotel.
02:48So when I got back in the morning, we'd missed the coach
02:51and I'd spend the day in the village.
02:53But there was a cow festival going on and I got to ride a horse,
02:56so it was still a good day.
02:57Very good. A cow festival.
02:59Everybody brought their favourite cow down from the mountain.
03:02Well, that's exactly it.
03:03They brought the cows down from the mountain and...
03:05And they had big bells.
03:06They did have big bells, yeah.
03:08And you found yourself on a horse.
03:10You stay off the sauce, my boy.
03:12All right, let's have a big round of applause then for Rory and Andrew.
03:20Very good. Good luck to you both.
03:22And over in the corner, Susie, of course, on this Monday,
03:25joined once again by the wonderful Brendan Cull,
03:28one of the original dancers on Strictly and still going strong.
03:31Still going strong. Myself and Anton.
03:33Very good. More from you later,
03:35but now we get on with the letters game with you, Andrew.
03:38Hi, Rachel. Hi, Andrew.
03:40We're going to have a consonant, please.
03:42Thank you. Start the week with G.
03:45And another.

04:45Andrew?
04:46Seven.
04:47A seven. Rory?
04:48Just a six.
04:50And your six?
04:51Framed.
04:52Now then, Andrew?
04:53Figured.
04:54So, figured. What do you think about that?
04:56Yeah, absolutely fine.
04:57Can he match it?
04:58Susie can do one better. She's found an eight.
05:01She's feeling very argumentative. She's arguified.
05:03Yes.
05:04You're a little agitated today. Is that what that means?
05:06To arguefy is a factual way of saying to argue.
05:09It's a bit like speechify.
05:11I'm going to use that.
05:12Good.
05:13All right. Well done.
05:14Seven points to Andrew and now Rory.
05:16Your first letters game. Off you go.
05:18Hi, Rachel.

10:42And...
10:43Pouncers.
10:44There we go. Pouncers.
10:46Any more pouncers over there?
10:48Well, we were hoping to be, as in, my cats are good pouncers,
10:52but it's not in the dictionary, pouncer, I'm afraid.
10:55Really?
10:56So I have to disallow, sorry.
10:58What can we have?
10:59For a seven, a persona.
11:02Persona, yep. Anything else, Susie?
11:04No, that was the best we could do. We were looking at pouncers.
11:07No pouncers. All right.
11:0835, therefore, remains, as does 28, and it's Andrew's letters game.
11:12Andrew.

12:18You're five.
12:19A scoop.
12:20Scoop and...

12:24Yes.
12:25Scoop and cousin.
12:26Yep.
12:27Brendan and Susie.
12:28An interesting one here, soupçon.
12:30I love that word.
12:31It's a great word.
12:32A soupçon.
12:33And I like copious and ominous for seven.
12:36A soupçon can never be copious, of course.
12:38No.
12:39No.
12:40Just a little subtle hint.
12:42But it's a French word that's in our English dictionary.
12:44French word with a cedilla still, but in the dictionary.
12:46Yes.
12:47Indeed.
12:48Well done.
12:49Thank you, Brendan.

14:00Yep.
14:01Multiply.
14:02You get 764.
14:06Sorry, 864.
14:09I've gone wrong, haven't I?
14:11Bad luck, bad luck.
14:13So straighten it out for us, Rachel.
14:15Well, if you'd have stopped at 75 minus 2, 73,
14:20and then 7 plus 5 is 12 and times them together.
14:23876.
14:24There we go, well done.
14:25APPLAUSE
14:26Well done, Rachel.
14:29So, scores 41 to 28 as we turn to Brendan.
14:33Well, this one is a little sensitive for you.
14:36A few of us on Strictly.
14:38We do our own thing after the run is up.
14:41I do a theatre tour that goes around the country.
14:43And we get a bit carried away with ourselves.
14:45So one particular day we're on our coach, 22 of us,
14:4814 musicians, eight dancers on the coach.
14:50And in the coach, in the front of the coach,
14:52we'd found some, let's say, some risky magazines.
14:54There was almost a coach load.
14:56So on this particular show we're out doing a lovely fox shot.
15:00Now I'm talking a really beautiful, old-school,
15:02I think it was a bit of Nat King Cole was the band we're playing,
15:05a beautiful fox shot.
15:06One of the girls, Nicole Cutler, do you remember Nicole Cutler
15:09from Strictly Come Dancing a few years back?
15:11And what she'd done is she'd taken some of the pictures out of the magazines
15:14and in the, this is before the iPads, now the musicians use iPads,
15:17but before that we had sheet music,
15:19put some pictures within the sheet music.
15:21As the musicians turned the page, they're playing the horns,
15:24they're playing the piano.
15:26One by one they all just started sniggering and trying to play.
15:30And the whole band behind us were in stitches,
15:34including my MD, Mr Barry Robinson, who's very serious about his job,
15:37a lovely fellow but very serious about his music.
15:39And I could see him just literally wetting himself on the piano.
15:42And it was one of the funniest things I've ever experienced
15:45amongst the beautiful and the calm, serene fox shot.
15:48Good fun. Thank you. Thank you.
15:50APPLAUSE
15:52Well done, Brendan.
15:54Lovely stuff. Well done, Brendan.
15:56So 41 plays 28.
15:58And, Andrew, it's a letters game for you.

17:10Thank you, Andrew.
17:12Lordiest?
17:14Lordiest? Yeah.
17:16Er...
17:19Not there, I'm afraid.
17:21Lordliest, but not lordiest. Sorry.
17:24Mm. I think that was a gamble.
17:26Mm. Did you feel it was a gamble?
17:28Oh, yeah. All right.
17:30So, Brendan and Susie?
17:33Well, dilutes, yes, seven.
17:35Got another good seven.
17:37And, again, one that I didn't know the meaning to.
17:39Luxated. Is that how you pronounce it?
17:41Yes. That is exactly right.
17:43And to luxate is actually to dislocate,
17:45so not something you want.
17:47But, yeah, luxation.
17:49Dislocation of joints.
17:51Thank you. All right.
17:53Now, then, only six in it. 35 plays Andrew's 41.

20:53Curl Sofa.

21:00You'd definitely want to curl up on the sofa if you had this.

21:12APPLAUSE
21:19Welcome back. I left with the clue,
21:21you'd definitely want to curl up on the sofa if you had this.
21:24And the answer is scrofula.
21:28Which presumably makes you scrofulous, does it?
21:31What is scrofula, exactly?
21:33Famously suffered by Samuel Johnson, in fact,
21:35who went to see the Queen.
21:37It was called the King's Evil and it was thought the monarch could cure it.
21:40It is a form of disease with glandular swelling,
21:43so it's probably a form of tuberculosis
21:45that was quite common in the 19th century.
21:48Not so now, luckily.
21:50Scrofula. There we go. 58 plays 45.

24:56What can we have over in the corner there?
24:58Susie, Brendan.
25:00Well, you can have tango. Thank you.
25:02But this one I've never heard of before.
25:04Yet again, my psychic here has done herself.
25:06Orangite.
25:08Orangite, yes. Don't even know what it means.
25:10It's a variety of thorite,
25:12which is a neosilicate.
25:14That's a chemical term.
25:16And it's a substance that crystallises
25:18in, obviously, a rather beautiful colour.
25:20Orangite.
25:22There we go. Thank you.
25:24All right. 71 to 51. 20 points in it.
25:26And now, Susie, we're back with you
25:28for your origins of words.
25:30What have you got for us today?
25:32Well, on Friday I was talking about the origin of
25:34screaming blue murder and talking about how blue
25:36pops up all over the place in English idioms.
25:38And there's another one that I'm often asked about.
25:40And that's blue stocking.
25:42If you talk about a woman being a blue stocking,
25:44they are intellectual
25:46but slightly old-fashioned,
25:48perhaps slightly staid.
25:50It's not exactly a full-on compliment.
25:52But how did it come about?
25:54The strange beginning of it, really,
25:56is that it applied not to a woman but to a man.
25:58And that man was Benjamin Stillingfeet.
26:00Great name.
26:02He was a botanist, translator
26:04and publisher.
26:06And he had a lot of links with a group
26:08that held some of the best soirees
26:10in London back in the 1750s.
26:12These groups were
26:14independently-minded women
26:16who had had enough
26:18of card playing and bridge playing
26:20and the sort of small talk,
26:22if you like, of normal London parties.
26:24And so they decided to set up their own
26:26soirees, their own evenings,
26:28based on the Parisian
26:30salons, which were all the rage
26:32in those days.
26:34And they would invite guests to come along
26:36and they would have quite serious discussions,
26:38whether about the meaning of life,
26:40other matters of philosophy,
26:42rather than sort of fashion
26:44and typical womanly subjects
26:46or subjects that were thought to be
26:48beloved of women.
26:50And one of the leading lights of this group
26:52was a lady called Mrs Elizabeth Montagu.
26:54She was very powerful.
26:56She was very rich.
26:58And she invited luminaries
27:00from right across the subject areas,
27:02and she was very popular
27:04in London at this time.
27:06So Samuel Johnson came, David Garrick,
27:08Sir Joshua Reynolds,
27:10who was just Joshua in those days.
27:12Lots and lots of people.
27:14Lord Littleton.
27:16So it was quite well-presided over,
27:18if you like, by some of the best minds
27:20in London at the time.
27:22Back to Benjamin's stilling feet.
27:24He was, as I say, a learned botanist.
27:26He was invited to attend
27:28by one of the ladies in this group,
27:30and he couldn't afford to go out
27:32and get the black silk stockings,
27:34which were the traditional wear
27:36of these soirees.
27:38And according to Fanny Burney,
27:40who told the story later,
27:42the lady who asked him, Mrs Vasey,
27:44said, come as you are, it's absolutely fine.
27:46She was liberal-minded.
27:48He turned up wearing his blue worsted stockings,
27:50which were the only ones that he could afford.
27:52And so from then on,
27:54the group became known as the Blue Stockings.
27:56And because their subjects were thought
27:58to be slightly snooty, if you like,
28:00and, you know, not really in keeping
28:02with the fashion of London,
28:04it turned into a slightly derogatory epithet.
28:06But it was all down to Benjamin's stilling feet
28:08that blue stocking has survived to this day.
28:10Very good. Well done.
28:12APPLAUSE
28:14Very good.
28:16Thank you, Susie. Thank you.

32:56with the score standing 96 to Andrew.
32:58Rory on 51.
33:00Things on buzzers.
33:02Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:06Wow!
33:08Andrew McLeod.

33:16APPLAUSE
33:18Well done.
33:20Another good score.
33:22But we'll come back to you in a minute.
33:24Rory, bad luck.
33:26He's a very strong player.
33:28You held him back, actually.
33:30This is quite a low score for him.
33:32106.
33:34As I say, on Friday, I think it was something like 122.
33:36So, congratulations, Rory.
33:38Back to Harpenden with a goodie bag
33:40and good luck with your accountancy exams
33:42when they come around.

33:58His maths are good, no?
34:00He's absolutely flying, doing very well.
34:02I'm having very little to do at the moment.
