00:30Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:33Now, it was on this day way back in 1216, that'll be 800 years ago,
00:37and there's a bit of a history lesson coming up.
00:40It was on that day that King John of England passed away,
00:43and he was succeeded to the throne by his nipper.
00:47The nipper was nine, and he was called Henry.
00:51He became Henry III, of course, and he went on to reign for 56 years
00:55and married his young man, Eleanor of Provence.
00:59But being on the throne and taking on such a responsibility
01:02at the age of nine, that was extraordinary.
01:05He would have had people, of course, advising him.
01:07So he took on a job at nine.
01:11What was my first job?
01:13I was lying around the house during the school holidays,
01:15and my father said,
01:16it's about time you actually got out and did something
01:19instead of lying in bed all day moaning.
01:21So he got me a job with a friend of his who had a building company,
01:24and I spent the whole summer holidays painting radiators.
01:28I hated the smell of that paint. It drove me crazy.
01:30Now, what did you do? When did you first start working?
01:33I've had all sorts of jobs. I think I've worked in a sandwich shop,
01:36and I worked in a place that made gauges for petrol tankers,
01:42and I worked at Southend United,
01:43and as soon as I could earn my own money, that was it.
01:46I lacked my independence.
01:47No, that's good. That's very good.
01:49Now, Andrew is back with us, Rachel.
01:52Six wins. Welcome back. How are you feeling?
01:54You've done so well.
01:56I feel all right, yeah.
01:57Well, I must tell you, you're a terrific player.
01:59Now, you're joined today by David Stirling,
02:01a retired solicitor from Bristol
02:03who now volunteers at a charity that helps people
02:07who are living in poverty all over the world.
02:08What is that charity, David?
02:11That's CAFOD. It's Catholic Society,
02:14and a very high proportion of the money collected
02:18goes towards good causes rather than administration.
02:21Yes, and overseas, I guess.
02:23Overseas, yes.
02:23Well, well done for that.
02:24And you're a cricket fan.
02:26You enjoyed playing in your younger days.
02:28Many years ago.
02:29And this was just for fun, or were you a really quite serious player?
02:32No, just at weekends.
02:34There we are.
02:35Good luck to you both.
02:36Big round of applause.
02:37APPLAUSE
02:43And over in the corner, of course, Susie,
02:44once again joined by the wonderful Brendan Cole.
02:48Brendan, welcome back, Brendan.
02:50Thank you very much indeed.
02:51The stalwart of Strictly Come Dancing.
02:53When you're not on Strictly,
02:54you're running your own travelling show, as it were.
02:57Indeed, yes.
02:58So we do Strictly, we start Strictly on the 1st of August,
03:00and we run right through to Christmas.
03:02It's a fairly full-on schedule, as far as schedules go.
03:06And then, you know, straight after that,
03:07have a couple of weeks with the family,
03:08and then I'm back on the road with my travelling theatre show.
03:11That's a tough old regime.
03:13It is, but, hey, it's not a bad job if you can get it.
03:16Beats coal mining in the Caucasus in February, for instance,
03:19I imagine.
03:19Oh, yes.
03:20So, then, Andrew, shall we have a letters game?
03:23Yeah.
03:24Hi, Rachel. Hi, Andrew.
03:25Can I have a consonant, please?
03:27Thank you. Start today with R.
03:30And another.
03:33S.
03:34And another.
03:36G.
03:37And a vowel.
03:40E.
03:41And another.
03:42O.
03:44And another.
03:46U.
03:47And a consonant.
03:49N.
03:50And another.
03:52P.
03:53And a final vowel, please.
03:55And a final I.
03:58And here comes the Countdown Clock.
04:20CLOCK TICKS
04:30Andrew?
04:31Eight.
04:32And eight, David?
04:34Seven.
04:35And a seven. Your seven?
04:36Pouring.
04:37Pouring and...?
04:38Parogues.
04:39Parogues.
04:40I had to check how you're spelling that.
04:42P-A-R-O-G-U-E-S.
04:45Yeah, absolutely fine.
04:46They are the bottomed-out narrow canoes,
04:49hollowed-out, and used in Central America and the Caribbean.
04:52Very good.
04:53Dug-out canoes, yeah.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Very good.
04:57What else have we got, Brendan, Susie?
04:58A couple of mates over here.
05:00We've got spongier and reposing.
05:03Yes. Reposing.
05:04Reposing.
05:05Thank you very much. Eight points to Andrew.
05:08And, David, it's your letters game now.
05:10Consonant, please.
05:12Thank you, David.

06:21I'll try and hit.
06:23All right, David.
06:24Skate.
06:25Skate. Now, then, Andrew.
06:27Fake-outs?
06:29Fake-outs.
06:31Urgh! It's there, but hyphenated.
06:34Oh, Andrew, Deception or Deliberate Misrepresentation is a fake-out,
06:38but it has got a hyphen in it. I'm really sorry.
06:41Bad luck. Brendan?
06:42Well, you'd be kicking yourself out of the game.
06:45You'd be kicking yourself, Andrew.
06:47Take-out.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Take-outs would give you an A.
06:51Not hyphenated.
06:52Seems a bit serendipitous, doesn't it?
06:54But, um, yeah.
06:55Susie?
06:56You have to go by the dictionary.
06:57And the rest?
06:58That was the A.
06:59There's also koftas.
07:00If you've ever had a lamb kofta,
07:02they're a sort of minced ball used as sort of savoury snacks, really.
07:07Lamb koftas.
07:09And now it's numbers time for you, Andrew.
07:11Can I have two large and four small, please?
07:13Don't need to ask. Always the same thing, Andrew.
07:15Two large, four little.
07:17And the first numbers game of the day is 3-8-4-3.
07:22And the large, 175.
07:25And the target, 141.

08:17I was the same way.

08:37Has Declan lost his best friend to this creature?
08:42APPLAUSE

08:58has Declan lost his best friend to this creature?
09:01What creature?
09:03An anteater.
09:05Anteater.

10:26Thank you. David?
10:27Sorry, I've lost it, sorry.
10:29I've lost it.
10:31Andrew?
10:32Bandier.
10:33Bandier.
10:35Yes, my legs are bandier than yours, for example. Absolutely fine.
10:38What can the corner offer us?
10:40Bearding.
10:41Bearding.
10:42Bearding.
10:43Yes, confronting somebody.
10:45Bearding the lion in his den is the saying.
10:47But, yeah, I thought we could be in it.
10:49All right, 25 plays 15.
10:51And, Andrew?
10:53You're wrong.
10:54Can I have a consonant, please?
10:56Thank you, Andrew.
10:57R

11:55Well, Andrew?
11:56Seven.
11:57A seven and eight.
11:59And an eight. Andrew?
12:01Surtoir.
12:03David Stirling.
12:04Patriots.
12:05Patriots.
12:06Why not?
12:07Excellent. Well done.
12:14Well done.
12:15Did you have that also?
12:16Yes, we had that too.
12:18Yeah, and I like Andrew Surtoir as well.
12:20It's a thin gold necklace, sometimes encrusted with jewels.
12:23Very pretty.
12:25Well done. Thank you very much.
12:27And 25 plays 23.
12:29Two points in it as we turn to David for your first numbers game.
12:34One large and five small, please, Rachel.
12:36Thank you, David. One from the top row and five from the others.
12:39And for this round, your little ones are six, three, six, ten and nine.
12:46And the big one, 50.
12:49And the target, 933.

13:34Ten plus nine, 19.
13:36Plus, times 50.
13:37Times 50, 950.
13:39And six times three.
13:42Is 18, yeah.
13:44Which you won away, 932.
13:46Well done. Andrew?
13:48The same.
13:49There we go.
13:51Won away, 933. How tricky is that? Rachel?
13:54There were a couple of ways.
13:56If you say 50 times three is 150.
14:0010 minus six is four.
14:02Add it on for 154.
14:04Times by the other six for 924.
14:07And add the nine on 933.
14:09Well done.
14:11APPLAUSE
14:13Excellent stuff.
14:14So, two points in it.
14:1632 plays David's 30 as we turn to Brendan.
14:19Competing at such a high level year after year
14:23must suggest that you've got nerves of steel.
14:26Well, it would suggest that. Strictly is one thing.
14:29I feel no nerves on Strictly.
14:31I think you've got to stay very strong and positive for your partner
14:34so you carry them through
14:36because their nerves are going to be through the roof on those days.
14:39Pretty strictly, I did find myself in a situation
14:42where nerves did get the better of me on this particular occasion.
14:46Being invited to Japan.
14:48Now, most couples don't get to go to, let's say, Japan
14:51for an invitation until they're in the, let's say, top six.
14:55I was in the top 12 of the ranking system at the time.
14:58I was very honoured to get an invite through to Japan, I guess,
15:01and to the Prince Mikasa Cup.
15:03So a very big deal and I was excited about it.
15:05But little did I know that when I arrived at the hotel
15:08there were the rest of the final there, all the bigwigs,
15:11the ones that I looked up to in terms of competing,
15:13and I had to stand up against the big boys.
15:15And nerves I've not felt, nerves like it.
15:17The opening number I had to do was a samba
15:19and I had to come on to the centre of the floor,
15:21massive floor in the darkness, full room,
15:23probably 2,000 people in there.
15:25I came on to no music as part of my choreography.
15:28I could hear my knees going. I was absolutely petrified.
15:31And I suppose I learnt a big lesson on that day.
15:33Preparation is key.
15:35And it was a great lesson for me because since then I don't...
15:38I can very seldom recall a nervous episode
15:41because I always go prepared
15:43and that gives you confidence to then take on whatever challenge.
15:46I mean, I do get nervous sitting next to Susie
15:48because obviously her mind works 20 times faster than mine.
15:51What about the Japanese?
15:53Was there a big dance culture in Japan?
15:55Massive. In my day, when I was competing,
15:57there were 15,000 registered professional dancers there.
16:00It was where I learnt my trade
16:02and taught me what I needed to know for the stuff that I do now.
16:05I'm sure you've seen it.
16:07I remember years and years ago seeing that great Australian film, was it?
16:10Oh, Strictly Ballroom. Great.
16:12Great film at the time, wasn't it? Very funny.
16:14Very true to form in terms of the ballroom dancing world.
16:17There are a lot of characters just like that.
16:19Mums, dads, coaches, you name it, they're all there.
16:21Brilliant stuff. Thank you very much. Well done.
16:27Well done. Thank you.
16:29Thanks, Brendan. Now then, 30-32.
16:32And now, Andrew, it's your letters game.

17:55Car lines.

21:41Hanaput.
21:42Yes.
21:43What does it say about Hanaput?
21:45It says it is a variety of muscat grape grown in South Africa

23:35What can we have there, Brendan and Susie?

23:38Over...?
23:39Yes, overamp.
23:41A very specific sense is to overdose,

23:46Oh, really?
23:47Overamp.
23:48Heaven forbid.
23:49Pretty sure there was mover there as well,

23:54Quite right. Anything else, Susie?
23:56No, that was our best for seven.

25:08Seven, David.
25:09Seven.
25:10Andrew?
25:11Tallest.
25:12Nothing.
25:13I'm also tallest. I didn't write it down, though.
25:15Oh, dear.
25:16Oh.
25:17That means that we can't count it.
25:19Bad luck.
25:20Now, what shall we do in the corner?
25:22We should tell you to up with the tellies.
25:24The seven.
25:25All right. I'm so sorry, David, but that's...
25:27I know, I forgot to say yes.
25:29So 68 to 53, and Susie, we're back with you
25:32and your wonderful origins of words.
25:35And what will you teach us today?
25:37I am going to, well, teach Helen White, hopefully,
25:41who emailed in to ask about the origin of stir-crazy,
25:45which she says her teenage son uses all the time.
25:48Where does it come from?
25:50You have to go all the way back to the late 1800s,
25:52and one of the fantastic chroniclers of London of that day
25:55was Henry Mayhew,
25:57wrote some wonderful accounts of the sellers in the markets,
26:01touting their wares, for example,
26:03as he took a stroll through the city.
26:05But he also recorded an oral history of the city's prisons.
26:09Through a series of conversations,
26:11he would sit with prisoners and wardens and governors
26:14and make an account both of their lives
26:17and also of the language that they used.
26:19And in one of his articles, a prisoner comments,
26:22I was in Brummerjim and seven days in the news stir.
26:26Now, Brummerjim at the time was a nickname for Birmingham.
26:30I'll come back to that in a minute.
26:32But in stir was a common term in criminal slang,
26:35bearing in mind that criminal slang was one of the first areas of slang
26:38ever to be collected.
26:40Some of the first dictionaries were of criminal cant, as it was called.
26:43And in stir was slang amongst criminals for being locked up in prison.
26:47Quite where it started, we're not sure.
26:49Possibly in Newgate Prison,
26:51where a Romani word, stadl, meant imprisoned.
26:54It may come from there. We're not completely sure.
26:57But stir crazy emerged in 20th-century America
27:01just a little bit later as a description of somebody
27:04who had literally become mentally deranged
27:06as a result of long imprisonment.
27:08Today, of course, we use it far more generally
27:10to mean that we've just been sort of confined for too long
27:13and we can't wait to get out.
27:15But it all goes back to that prison sense.
27:17And I said I'd return to Brummerjim,
27:20the slang term for Birmingham.
27:22But Brummerjim was also a synonym for tat, or worthless goods,
27:26because a lot of counterfeit coins were made in Birmingham.
27:29And so Brummerjim became almost like tawdry.
27:32If something was Brummerjim, it was of low quality.
27:34And tawdry, of course, just to finish off there,
27:37goes back to patron saint of Eli in Cambridgeshire, St Audrey.
27:42She died of cancer of the throat,
27:45and in her honour little neckerchiefs made of lace
27:48were sold at fairs in Eli.
27:50Eventually they became of very, very poor quality,
27:53and so St Audrey lace became tawdry lace,
27:56and tawdry was born.
27:58It all goes back to a saint.
28:00Brilliant. Oh, well done.
28:02APPLAUSE
28:06So anyway, stir crazy, which might have come out of porridge.
28:10I don't know why you stirred it.
28:12It's the same sort of cabin fever, in a way.
28:14Exactly. Sort of.
28:16Yeah, go to the great outdoors. Yeah.
28:18Brilliant. Thank you.
28:2068 pays 53, and David.
28:23Now then, David, now's your chance.
28:25Letters game. Consonant, please.
28:27Thank you, David. N
28:29Vowel.
28:31E
28:33Consonant.
28:35S
28:37Consonant.
28:39T
28:41Vowel.
28:43O
28:45Consonant.
28:47L
28:49Vowel.
28:51A
28:53Consonant.
28:55M
28:57And a vowel.
28:59And the last one, I.
29:01Countdown.
29:19CLOCK TICKS
29:33Mmm. David?
29:35Eight. And eight.
29:37Andrew? Eight.
29:39Two eights. Thank you, David.
29:41Manliest. Manliest and...
29:43Amniotes.
29:45Amniote. Amniotes, yes.
29:47So, eight downwards.
29:49An amniote is an animal where the embryo develops
29:51in an amniotic sac,
29:53in an amniotic fluid, etc.
29:55So that's excellent for eight.
29:57Very good.
29:59Now, what else can we have, I wonder?
30:01Brendan, Susie?
30:03We had a couple of sevens, salient. Yeah.
30:05In tails. In tails.
30:07And there was an eight out there,
30:09which was semolina.
30:11Thing that everybody hates at school, semolina.
30:13I quite liked it. I quite liked it, too.
30:15Yes, I'm with you.
30:17That's another eight.
30:1976-61, and Andrew,

31:37Well done.
31:39APPLAUSE
31:43Anything else?
31:45No, we're all a bit tiredly over here for a seven.
31:47I feel like I should show you,
31:49we've got Leutert as well, just to...

31:5384 plays 69, and David,
31:55final numbers game. Good luck.

31:59You don't want to gamble, the last one?
32:01All right, can I have six small, then?
32:03LAUGHTER
32:05I hope I haven't ruined things for you, but six small.

32:23And the target, 851.
32:25851.
32:27MUSIC
32:41MUSIC
32:53No, David.
32:55Not close enough, no.
32:57No? What does Andrew think?
32:59Not close enough, either.
33:01Anybody close?
33:03Sorry. It's worth a shot.
33:05Yes, this was possible.
33:07If you say eight plus three is 11.
33:10Nine plus two is another 11.
33:12Times them together for 121.
33:14Times it by seven for 847,
33:18and add on the four for 844.
