00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Here we are, Friday, Rachel, Friday, the weekend coming up.
00:37Now, if you're planning to do anything strenuous, don't.
00:40Why? Because today, officially, I don't know who these officials are,
00:46but they have decreed it lazy day.
00:49Today is lazy day.
00:51Very nice, too.
00:52Don't have to do anything.
00:53And the important thing is you shouldn't feel guilty about it.
00:56But can you relax guilt-free?
00:58Oh, yeah.
00:59And what do you do?
01:00Oh, yeah.
01:01Preferably, you'd be on an island somewhere, wouldn't you?
01:03But it wouldn't start with an alarm clock at all.
01:06And I just like being outside.
01:08I'm right down the end of the road from Hyde Park,
01:11so I wander along there and watch everyone with their dogs and ducks and geese.
01:15I think that's tremendous.
01:16It's how I like to recharge my batteries.
01:18You have to.
01:19I know. All right.
01:21Now, who have we got? We've got the policeman back.
01:23We've got policeman Steve Rush from Norfolk back.
01:28Well done.
01:29And you beat old Eddie, who's a three-time winner.
01:32So well done for you.
01:34Now, you're joined, Steve, by James Billington,
01:36a corporate responsibility executive from Nottingham.
01:39And perhaps Steve would like to prick his ears up a little bit now
01:42because you went off masquerading as the mayor of Stafford
01:48and you evaded capture.
01:49What happened?
01:51Yes, so Stafford's my hometown, where I'm originally from.
01:54And for some reason, I don't really know,
01:56but I set up a Twitter account to say that I was the mayor of that town.
02:00Yes.
02:01People believed it.
02:02I don't know why or how.
02:04So it got to a point where I had to sort of make a mayoral chain
02:07and I was sort of going out opening sort of things.
02:12You got to believe it.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Go on.
02:15And obviously until it got win to the local borough council, who...
02:18And the police, presumably.
02:20Not yet.
02:21LAUGHTER
02:23What a laugh.
02:24Anyway, you've given up that now, have you?
02:26Yes, absolutely.
02:27Well done.
02:28Well, listen, have a lot of fun today.
02:30And let's have a big round of applause for Steve and James Billington.
02:33APPLAUSE
02:37And Susie's over at the corner on this Friday.
02:40And for the final time, it's a pleasure to have with us
02:43presenter, writer and comedian Griff Rees-Jones.
02:46APPLAUSE
02:49Good luck.
02:52Anyway, let's get down to business with Steve.
02:54Steve Rush.
02:55Good afternoon, Rachel.
02:56Afternoon, Steve.
02:57Can I start with a consonant, please?
02:58Thank you. Start today with M.
03:00And another.
03:02R.
03:03And another.
03:05S.
03:06And another.
03:08T.
03:09And one more.
03:11R.
03:12And a vowel, please.
03:14E.
03:15And another.
03:16A.
03:17And another.
03:20E.
03:21And a final vowel, please.
03:23And a final I.
03:26Stand by.
03:48MUSIC
03:59Well, Steve?
04:01Slightly risky eight.
04:03And James?
04:04Six.
04:05And your six?
04:06Master.
04:07Yes.
04:08Can you be a masterer?
04:10Ooh.
04:11Um, I don't think...
04:13Ooh, actually, I'm completely wrong.
04:16To overcome someone or something is a masterer.
04:18I didn't think it would be there, but it is, Steve.
04:20Well done.
04:21Wow, well done.
04:22Griff and Susie.
04:23Griff?
04:24Well, obviously, you can get to a point
04:26where you've got a steamy show going on,
04:30you know, but you can be steamier.
04:32Steamier?
04:33Yeah, you can be steamier than the next steamy shows.
04:36And brilliantly, there's also Emirates there,
04:39which is, as we know, a place.
04:41So you can include that.
04:43There's a bit of a proper noun, though, isn't there?
04:45Well, it's in Emirates, so it's the kingdom of an emir.
04:48Oh, is it?
04:49Yes.
04:50Oh, I see.
04:51So Emirates, we just ignore the fact that it's also a place
04:54and say that it's where an emir hangs out.
04:56Hangs out, yeah.
04:57And several of them.
04:59And now, James, it's your letters game.
05:00Good afternoon, Rachel.

07:58Sorry, where did you make your... How did you make your 5?
08:01From the 3 and the 2.
08:02So that was the 3 and the 2.
08:04And then what was the last part?
08:06Sorry, so that's 750 and 125.
08:09Add them up for 875 and then there's an 8.
08:11Yep.
08:12And you just about got away with that.
08:14Well done.

08:20If you say 75 minus 25 is 50.
08:243 minus 2 is 1.
08:26Take that away for 49.
08:28And then 10 plus 8 is 18.

14:05as we turn to Griff.
14:07Griff, it's your last day with us.
14:09What have you got for us today?
14:11Well, I was just thinking, when you were talking about laziness,
14:14I was so impressed by Rachel's ability to go and lie in the pub.
14:18Because I had a sort of sabbatical
14:22in about 2002,
14:24and I went away and I sailed a small boat
14:26all the way to the Baltic
14:28and up to St Petersburg
14:30in search of a sort of blissful sort of emptiness.
14:34And I went with two blokes
14:36who just were so feckless
14:38that I had become the daddy of the boat.
14:40And I had to spend my whole time like Captain Bly
14:42ordering them about and sort of pushing them on.
14:44It was quite...
14:46We ended up, though, finally,
14:49coming out of Russia
14:51and you have to sail down the Gulf of Finland
14:53and the wind was blowing.
14:55It was a beautiful evening in September
14:57and we sailed into Finland for the first time.
15:00And Finland has 80,000 islands on its south coast.
15:04It's just an extraordinary landscape to enter.
15:07And we sailed in and we came to this wonderful castle
15:10and the sun was setting and we put out an anchor
15:13and it was just blissful, blissful.
15:15And I finally thought, well, I've escaped from Russia,
15:17we're whole, we're on our way back,
15:19we've reached this period of just absolute bliss
15:21and now we can relax.
15:23And Bob, who was with me, sort of said,
15:25look over there, look. I said, what?
15:27He said, in the twilight I can see some lights over there.
15:29Just over there, some red lights and some sort of lights over there.
15:32We can go off and we can find a bar
15:34and we can have a real old hoolie here in Finland.
15:36So I said, Bob, look, we're in absolute state of bliss,
15:38let's just stay here. But he prevailed.
15:40I didn't want to be the daddy.
15:42So we pulled up our anchor and we motored very gently in
15:44and after half an hour we found ourselves parked
15:46outside a cement factory.
15:49Perfect.
15:51So, you know, be careful.
15:53Just sometimes stick to your guns and just ride an anchor
15:56and put the light up and cook yourself something out of a tin.
15:59What a lovely story.
16:07That's very funny. That's very funny.

24:49Well, Steve?
24:51A seven. James?
24:53Seven also. Steve?
24:55Flitted. James?
24:57And stifled. Yeah.
24:59Griff? Well, I got stifled
25:01as well, but there's also
25:03dilutes there, which is another
25:05seven. Susie, anything else?
25:07Nothing on the seven. Stifled.
25:09Stifled cry.
25:1156 to 45. Susie, we turn to you
25:13now. It's time for your wonderful
25:15Origins of Words. Such
25:17joy. Thank you. Well, I'm
25:19going to try to answer both an email
25:21and a tweet. Um, and the email
25:23is from Joan Law, and
25:25she wonders where figment comes from when we
25:27talk about a figment of her imagination,
25:29because it sounds slightly strange as a word.
25:31Um, you have to go back to
25:331500s for this, and
25:35a figment was something moulded or
25:37fashioned. It was an image,
25:39a figure, or a model.
25:41So it could have been a piece of art, a figment.
25:43But it was always something that
25:45was invented that came from the imagination,
25:47imagination which holds image in it
25:49as well. And the sort of
25:51fictitious side of it began
25:53to take precedence. And that's only
25:55right and proper, because it goes back to the Latin
25:57findere, meaning to pretend, which also
25:59gave us fiction and faint in
26:01both spellings. Faint, the deceptive blow
26:03in boxing, and also to faint, because
26:05women were often thought to faint
26:07out of pretense in order to
26:09gain attention. Um, so
26:11that's the first one. I hope, Joan, that I've answered your
26:13questions a little bit. But there was
26:15a linked one here, a tweet that came
26:17from Sienna Haynes, who asked
26:19about not giving a fig. Where does
26:21that come from? I don't give a fig.
26:23It's a slightly old-fashioned expression now.
26:25To not give a fig means you don't really care. It's obviously
26:27euphemism for something else as well.
26:29But a fig has always meant a small
26:31valueless thing, right
26:33almost from the start, as well as the fruit
26:35of course. That goes back to the Latin ficus
26:37and also the Greek for that,
26:39sicon. And giving the
26:41fig was a really indecent gesture
26:43many, many centuries
26:45ago, very ancient. And
26:47it was made by putting the thumb between two fingers
26:49or into the mouth. So it was the same
26:51effect as today's
26:53gesture of flipping the bird, albeit
26:55with a single finger.
26:57And showing the fig finally lies behind
26:59the word sycophant, because that
27:01Greek word sycon, the fig,
27:03was
27:05a sycophant, was a fig shower,
27:07if you like, in ancient Greece. And the idea is that
27:09prominent politicians in ancient
27:11Greece held aloof
27:13from being rude directly to their
27:15opponents, but would suck up to other people
27:17in order to get them to deliver
27:19insults. So they were the people that showed the fig,
27:21they showed contempt. So fig
27:23has always had a slightly double
27:25life. Well done.
27:27How interesting.
27:29Big.
27:31Yeah.
27:33Terrific,
27:35Susie.

29:01Yes, absolutely.
29:03Can we do better there, Griff?
29:05Well, you know, I put
29:07play dog,
29:09but actually, of course,
29:11it's lap dog, isn't it?
29:13Which is also there, funny enough.
29:15So, you know,
29:17I've intimated that there's a dog there
29:19in some strange way,
29:21but it's not the one I wrote down.
29:23Good. And the S, Susie?
29:25Yeah, there's also a genetic term
29:27ploidy, P-L-O-I-D-Y,
29:29which is the number of chromosomes in a cell.
29:3361, please. 50, Steve, on 61.

30:47Heater. Steve?
30:49Harton. Very nice.
30:51Good man.
30:53Any more sevens there, Griff?
30:55No, nothing. I couldn't get close to that.
30:57That was the only seven I could find as well.
30:59Harton. All right.
31:01So, Steve on 68, James on 50.
31:03And, James, it's the last numbers game for you.
31:07I'll have one large one and five small, please.
31:09You not want to gamble? 18 points behind, 20 remaining.
31:13Four large, two small, please.
31:15Come on, you're used to blagging. Let's have a go at this.
31:17Let's make a competition of it.
31:19Four large, two small. Let's see if that's a good decision.
31:21Good luck. The last one of the week.
31:23We have six and eight.
31:25And then the big one. 75, 25, 50 and 100.
31:30And the target is 651.
31:32651.
31:55James?
32:05650.
32:07Steve?
32:09650 as well.
32:11No, James. 100 x 6 is 600.
32:13100 x 6, 600.
32:15And add the 50.
32:17Yep, for one away. Well done.
32:19And Steve?
32:21I said 8 x 75 for the 600 and add the 50.
32:23Yeah, same result.
32:25Now then, is it possible?
32:27It is possible.
32:29If you say 25 x 8 is 200.
32:33Divided by 50 is 4.
32:36And then 100 minus 4 is 96.
32:40Times that by 6 for 576 and add on the 75.
32:46APPLAUSE
32:48Lovely.
32:52Masterful. Absolutely superb.
32:5475 to 57.
