00:00This programme contains strong language and adult humour.
00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon.
00:33Now, if, like me, you're a bit of a film buff
00:36and you like sort of film memorabilia throughout the ages,
00:40get yourself down to Westfield in London,
00:42because yesterday a huge exhibition opened
00:47and on the 16th of this month
00:49more than 300 pieces of that very same film memorabilia,
00:54Rachel, will be auctioned off.
00:57Now, what would I like?
00:59Got to thinking about this.
01:01And I would love the Maltese Falcon from the film of that name
01:05with the great Sydney Green Street.
01:07I don't know, it was made in the 40s.
01:09It was a great sort of film noir thing.
01:11The Maltese Falcon or any cigarette once smoked
01:16by the wonderful Lauren Bacall.
01:18She knew how to smoke a cigarette, that girl.
01:21LAUGHTER
01:23What do you fancy?
01:25I think you can keep your cigarette butts, actually.
01:27Maybe something like the Batmobile from one of the later films.
01:30Oh, that's big!
01:31Well, it's kind of Lamborghini, souped-up Lamborghini
01:33that can go up walls and, you know,
01:35that's something useful rather than a used cigarette stub.
01:38No, it wasn't a used one, it was a sort of long one.
01:40Oh, I didn't realise you were allowed big things.
01:42I'll have the Titanic model then.
01:44You have the Titanic and I'll have the necklace from the Titanic.
01:47Perfect. All right. Done deal.
01:49Now, who's with us today, Rachel?
01:51We've got Paul Talmy back, of course,
01:53who did so well yesterday after beating Michael McDool
01:57after his four wins.
01:58You came storming in and sent him packing.
02:01Excellent stuff.
02:02You're joined today by Ellen Baker,
02:04a graduate from Basingstoke who works for an organic food magazine.
02:09What's this called?
02:10It's called Jelly Deal.
02:12Not strictly concerning jelly deals, but...
02:16And it's all about cooking or what?
02:19No, sustainable produce and what Britain has to offer in that department
02:23and good things that people are doing, largely London-based.
02:26Excellent. And read avidly by allotment keepers, I guess.
02:30And people further afield, unreliably informed.
02:33Excellent. Let's have a big round of applause
02:35for Ellen Baker and Paul Talmy.
02:43And in the corner, of course, the wonderful Susie Dent,
02:47joined yet again this week by Margaret Mountford,
02:50our old friend, regular here, lawyer and TV personality.
02:54Programmes on Pompeii, The Apprentice, of course,
02:58and you and I have done a few things together on immigration,
03:01benefits and working into old age,
03:03a subject about which we know quite a lot.
03:05Well, you probably know more than I do, but yes.
03:08Thank you, Margaret. Thank you.
03:10All right, let's get down to business here.
03:12Paul Talmy, lead us away.
03:14Afternoon, Rachel. Afternoon, Paul.
03:16Start the consonant, please. Thank you. Start today with Y.

03:45And a final S.
03:47And here's the countdown clock.
04:14Now, then, Paul?
04:16Seven.
04:17A seven. Ellen?
04:19Six.
04:20And that six?
04:21Jasper.
04:22Thank you, Paul.
04:23Palers.
04:25Now, what does the corner think about that?
04:27How are you spelling that, Paul?
04:29P-A-I-L-E-R-S.
04:32Um, not there, I'm afraid.
04:35Um, there's balers, wailers, um...
04:39Not there, I'm afraid.
04:41Um, there's balers, wailers, um, all sorts of things,
04:44but not palers, I'm afraid. Sorry.
04:46Good luck.
04:48All to Ellen's benefit.
04:50But what has the corner got to offer?
04:52Any improvements, anything interesting over there?
04:54No, I only had pearls and pearly.
04:57Aw, but that's six, isn't it?
04:59Yeah.
05:00Um, if you go just one further,
05:02a couple of sevens, replays and parsley.
05:05Parsley.
05:06Parsley.
05:07That's slightly better, even though it's only one letter less.
05:11So then, Ellen, letters game.
05:14Hello. Can I have a consonant, please?
05:16Of course, thank you. Start with...
05:18W.
05:19And another?
05:21L.
05:22And a vowel?
05:24I.
05:25And another?
05:26A.
05:28Another vowel?
05:30E.
05:31And a consonant?
05:33H.
05:34Another consonant?
05:35P.
05:36Another consonant?
05:38F.
05:39And a vowel?
05:42And the last one?
05:44A.
05:45And it's countdown.
06:07CLOCK TICKS
06:18Now then, Ellen.
06:20Er, six.
06:21A six.
06:22Six as well.
06:23Ellen.
06:24Er, files?
06:25Yes, and...
06:26Wales.
06:27Wales.
06:28Er, Wales and files with a P-H.
06:30It's absolutely fine.
06:32Anything else of interest there?
06:34Margaret, Susie?
06:36Susie's got a very interesting-looking word.
06:39Yes?
06:40Er, it's an astronomical one, Nick.
06:42It's aphelia.
06:44A-P-H-E-L-I-A.
06:46And they are the plural of aphelion,
06:48which is the point in the orbit of a planet or asteroid
06:51at which it is furthest from the sun.
06:53Absolutely. Spot on.
06:55Well done, Susie.
06:56APPLAUSE
06:58Very good.
07:00As though we didn't know that.
07:02Now, it's 12 and Paul on six.
07:05So, let's have a numbers game for you, Paul.
07:07Invert a T, please, Rachel.
07:09Thank you, Paul. Invert a T. One from the top row and five little ones.
07:13And the first numbers game today is six,
07:16one,
07:17five,
07:18ten,
07:19another six,
07:20and the large one, 100.
07:22And the target, 248.
07:25Two, four, eight.
07:32BELL RINGS
07:56Yes, Paul?
07:58No, I've completely lost it, sorry.
08:00Drifted away, Ellen?
08:02250.
08:03250, two away.
08:05So, Ellen?
08:07So, six divided by six is one.
08:09Yep.
08:10I hope.
08:12Plus one.
08:13Plus the actual one is two.
08:15Is two.
08:16Times 100 is 200.
08:19200.
08:20Five tens of 50 and add that on.
08:22Yep, for two away.
08:24But still two away.
08:25Not many, but enough to make a difference.
08:28Rachel?
08:29This is a hard one. It's one away, so I'll have another look.
08:32All right. All right, we'll come back to you in a minute.
08:35So, 19 plays Paul's six, my word,
08:39as we turn to a teatime teaser,
08:42which is Goose Ref and the clue,
08:45refrains from having more than three attempts, perhaps.
08:48Refrains from having more than three attempts, perhaps.
08:52BELL RINGS
08:59APPLAUSE
09:08Welcome back. I left with the clue,
09:10refrains from having more than three attempts, perhaps.
09:13And the answer, very wittily, is foregoes.
09:16Foregoes, indeed.
09:18Ellen on 19, Paul on six, and where shall we go?
09:21Let's go to Ellen for a letters game.
09:23Could I please start with a vowel?
09:25Thank you, Ellen.
09:27E
09:28And a consonant?
09:30D
09:31And another?
09:33Z
09:34And another?
09:36D
09:37And a vowel, please?
09:39A
09:40And another one?
09:42E
09:43And another consonant?
09:46C
09:47And another consonant?
09:49G
09:50And a final vowel, please?
09:51And a final...
09:53A
09:54Stand by.
09:56MUSIC PLAYS
10:26Yes, Ellen?
10:28Uncertain six.
10:29An uncertain six. And Paul?
10:31A certain six.
10:32All right, Ellen?
10:34Kajed?
10:35Kajed!
10:37Yes, Paul?
10:38Decade.
10:39Decade.
10:41A decade.
10:43Are we happy with kajed?
10:44We're very happy with kajed, yes.
10:45You might think that the past tense was kodj,
10:47or something like that, but kajed it is.
10:49To ask or obtain for something to which one is not strictly entitled.
10:53Yeah, if you kajed, you're scrounging.
10:55Exactly.
10:56It's kajed, isn't it?
10:57Yeah, it is. Very good.
10:58I used to kaj quite a lot.
10:59Now, what else have we got?
11:01Just sixes, I'm afraid, Nick.
11:03All right. 25 plays 12.
11:05And Paul's back. Let us game, Paul.
11:07A vowel, please, Rachel?
11:09Thank you, Paul.
11:10I
11:11And another?
11:13O
11:14A consonant?
11:16S
11:17And another?
11:19F
11:20And a third?
11:22A vowel?
11:24U
11:26A consonant?
11:28D
11:29A consonant?
11:31N
11:32And a final vowel, please?
11:35And a final E.
11:37Here's the count and clock.
11:52CLOCK TICKS
12:10Yes, Paul?
12:11Just five.
12:12And Ellen?
12:13Also five.
12:14Two fives. Paul?
12:15Sound.
12:16Ellen?
12:17Squid.
12:18A squid.
12:20A nice squid.
12:22What use in the corner?
12:24Quins.
12:25Yes.
12:26Mm-hm.
12:27Um, sevens.
12:29Otherwise, infused.
12:31And coined.
12:33A coin, with Q-U-O-I-N,
12:35is an external angle of a building.
12:37So to coin one, if you're building it...
12:39Oh, I see.
12:40External angles.
12:41Very good.
12:42All right, coined.
12:44Coined.
12:4530 plays 17.
12:46Ellen, your numbers game.
12:47Can I have one from the top, please,
12:49and five from the other ones?
12:50You can, thank you, Ellen.
12:51One from the top row,
12:52and five from the other ones.
12:54And this time around,
12:55they are ten,
12:57three,
12:58two,
12:59eight,
13:00another eight,
13:01and 100.
13:03And the target, 927.
13:05927.
13:19ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS
13:38Ellen.
13:40Um, 922.
13:42922.
13:44Paul.
13:45927, but not written down.
13:47Let's hear from you.
13:48100 plus 3?
13:49100 plus 3, 103.
13:51103, and then, um,
13:53eight over eight is one?
13:54Yes.
13:55Take that from the ten?
13:56Ten minus one.
13:57Nine and multiply.
13:58Well done, 927.
13:59Very good.
14:01Well done, Paul.
14:04Now just three behind.
14:06Now just three behind.
14:07Ellen, 30 to your 27.
14:09But now we turn to Margaret.
14:11And Margaret, we've been chatting,
14:13or you've been teaching us, really,
14:15this week about the Greek myths,
14:17and the thing is, they still pop up
14:19in films and all the rest of it.
14:21What is it that fascinates people so much?
14:23Well, I think they're wonderful stories, aren't they?
14:25I mean, you mentioned films earlier,
14:27and there are two films about Hercules out this year,
14:30one the complete dog and the other not quite such a dog, I think.
14:33Um, but, you know, these subjects keep coming back,
14:36and I think Hercules is a very interesting character.
14:38Um, and we, of course, talk about something being a Herculean task,
14:42meaning it's a big, heavy task,
14:44it's very difficult to do.
14:46And that expression comes about because he had 12 labours to do,
14:50because he'd done some bad things,
14:52and he was required to perform 12 tasks for a king,
14:56and most of them were killing dangerous animals,
14:59like a lion or man-eating birds and that sort of thing.
15:03But one of the nastiest was cleaning out the Orgean stables,
15:07and we still talk about that today when it's a big task,
15:10which was a filthy cattle yard,
15:12and King Orgeas had this huge herd of cows,
15:14and he'd never cleaned out the yard.
15:16And the whole land around was covered with dung,
15:19and so nothing would grow on it.
15:21And you could smell this, apparently, over the whole of southern Greece.
15:24It must have been pretty pongy.
15:26And Eurystheus thought this is a jolly nasty task for Hercules to have to do,
15:30because he'd have to fill basket after basket and carry it out,
15:33you know, one at a time.
15:35And it'll take him ages and it'll be horrible.
15:37Um, but Hercules was no fool.
15:39So, first of all, he agreed with King Orgeas
15:42to pay him for clearing out the yard,
15:44even though he already was contracted to do it to somebody else.
15:47And then he very simply made holes in the walls at either side of the yard
15:53and diverted a couple of rivers, as one does,
15:56and they swept through the yard,
15:58cleaned all the dung away, cleaned all the fields and everything.
16:01So he'd done it all in less than a day without exerting himself at all.
16:05So I think perhaps he gets a bit of a bad press nowadays,
16:08because we think of him as a bit of a sort of lumpish yokel
16:11with a big bloke wearing a lion's skin over his head and carrying it flat,
16:16but actually there were probably a few brains as well as brawn there.
16:19Absolutely. Hosed down the Orgean stables, indeed.
16:22Yes.
16:23There's a pub in Charing Cross Road called the Pillars of Hercules.
16:28Was that another one?
16:29That's the Straits of Gibraltar, isn't it?
16:31Is it?
16:32Yes, yes.
16:33I thought you were going to say there's a pub in Charing Cross Road
16:36called the Orgean Stables, and I might have believed that, actually.
16:39LAUGHTER
16:41Thank you. Thank you.
16:43Pleasure.
16:44Thank you very much.
16:45Oh, this is exhausting.
16:4630 points to Ellen and Paul on 27.

17:55Just a five.
17:56A five. Ellen?
17:57Just a five.
17:58Paul?
17:59Moral.
18:00Moral and...?
18:01Claim.
18:05No arguments?
18:06No, it's really...
18:07Any improvements?
18:08It's really tricky.
18:09Not for me. I couldn't get anything at all.
18:11I think my brain's gone on strike.
18:13You're worrying about old Hercules again.
18:16And Susie?
18:18Just a five and a six.
18:19Axiom's another five and climax is a six.
18:22Climax. All right.
18:2435, please.
18:2532. Ellen, just three points in the lead.
18:27Ellen, you're back on. Letters game.

19:40Thank you, Ellen.
19:42A portent.
19:43And Paul?
19:44And pointer.
19:45Pointer.
19:46Our old friend, the pointer dog.
19:49Now then, the corner...
19:51Nope. Susie?
19:54Portent is nice, a sort of omen of misfortune, usually.
20:00Apart from pointer, there's protein, repoint, the usual suspect for seven.
20:04Very good. All right.
20:0642 to 39.
20:08Numbers for Paul.
20:10One last, please, Rachel.
20:12Thank you, Paul. One from the top again and five more little ones.
20:16And for this round, your little numbers are seven, nine, five,
20:21eight and ten, and the large one, 50.
20:26And the target, 814.
20:29814.
20:56Yes, Paul?
20:58No, I messed up again.
21:00How about Ellen?
21:01Completely lost.
21:03Both of you? How could you?
21:06Rachel, show them.
21:08Um, for this one, you could have said 50 times 8 is 400,
21:14and then add on the 7 for 407,
21:18and 10 divided by 5 is 2.
21:22There we go. That's the way it's done.
21:25APPLAUSE
21:26Thank you, Rachel. Thank you, Rachel.
21:29So, scores stand still, 42 to 39,

23:34Very good. Excellent. Eight.
23:36Well done. Yeah.
23:38APPLAUSE
23:42And what have we got in the corner? Anything interesting there?
23:45No eights for me, anyway, that's for sure.
23:47Well, you could be the hardest or you could be the mardiest,
23:50the sulkiest person.
23:52The mardiest. The mardiest.
23:54All right. Yeah, that's another eight. And misheard as well.

24:37Countdown.
24:43MUSIC PLAYS
25:06Yes, Paul.
25:08Dodgy eight.
25:10Dodgy eight. How about Ellen? Seven.
25:12Is that seven?
25:14Vectors.
25:16Now then, Paul.
25:18Corteges.
25:20Absolutely brilliant.
25:22A cortege is a solemn procession, like a funeral procession.
25:24So, well done.
25:26Excellent stuff. Well done.
25:28APPLAUSE
25:32That does the world for your score, too.
25:34Just three behind now, Paul.
25:36So, you took my advice to heart.
25:38And now it's my pleasure to turn to Susie
25:40and her wonderful origins of words.
25:42Now, what have you got for us today, Susie?
25:44One of the disadvantages of having a name like Susie
25:46is that it rhymes with all the wrong things.
25:48So, you will be called Boozy Susie.
25:50And all the Susies out there will know this.
25:52But also Floozy.
25:54As I thought I'd tell you a little bit about...
25:56Not that I've been called one recently.
25:58But I thought I'd tell you a little bit about the history of Floozy,
26:00because it has quite a long history.
26:02It's actually based on Flossie, believe it or not,
26:04which, of course, comes from floss,
26:06being the fine filaments, originally,
26:08that surrounded the cocoon of the silkworm.
26:10So, incredibly fine.
26:12And by extension, it was anything made of glossy filaments,
26:14fine fibres.
26:16And in the mid-19th century,
26:18so the mid-1800s,
26:20Flossie originally meant simply floss-like,
26:22but then also, by extension, fancy or showy,
26:24so decked out in incredibly flossy,
26:26shiny, fashionable finery.
26:28But also saucy or impertinent,
26:30because it picks up that word.
26:32So, Flossie,
26:34impertinent, because it picks up that idea
26:36of fashionable shine,
26:38if you like,
26:40and translated it then into brash and gaudy.
26:42And so, in the early 20th century,
26:44and this was very much in the States,
26:46Floozy, with a Z,
26:48became a slang form
26:50of Flossie, and it was most often used
26:52in the first sense of elegant
26:54or attractive, because it took that
26:56finery idea
26:58and equated it with elegance,
27:00especially with reference to young women.
27:02But it didn't take long, probably about 20 years
27:04before the saucy element had crept in,
27:06and a Floozy became,
27:08in popular slang, a wild and probably
27:10quite disreputable party girl,
27:12if not actually a prostitute,
27:14because there was that added dimension as well.
27:16There's a great line in a book
27:18by Truman Capote, The Grass Harp,
27:20who says,
27:22he bought a red racy car and went skidding around
27:24with every Floozy in town.
27:26The only nice girls you ever saw in that car
27:28were his sisters, which pretty much
27:30sums it up. And that kind of downgrading
27:32of terms that were originally quite nice,
27:34or quite positive at least,
27:36is quite common when it applies
27:38to women, I have to say, in English, because
27:40hussy goes all the way back
27:42to housewife, simply. It was
27:44the wife of the hoose,
27:46H-U-S. So it was a very, very
27:48neutral thing. Housewife
27:50and hussy meant exactly the same thing. Hussy
27:52went one way, and housewife went the other.
27:54Indeed. Excellent. Well done.
27:56APPLAUSE
28:00Wonderful. Thank you, Susie.
28:02Wonderful. Now,
28:0450 to Ellen.
28:06Paul just three points behind.
