00:05APPLAUSE
00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Countdown.
00:33This Tuesday afternoon, we're in our 41st year.
00:36Every show feels like the first.
00:38We love it. We hope you enjoy it, too, this afternoon.
00:41Rachel Riley's with me. Simple question.
00:44What animal is generally hated by the public but you quite like?
00:50Me? Erm...
00:53Bats? Do people hate bats? I love bats.
00:56Bingo. Is that a good one?
00:57Yeah, it's in the top ten most hated animals.
00:59Oh, no, they're so cute.
01:00Right, because we think vampires and night-time and ooh,
01:03but actually, not at all.
01:05Well, in Russian, they're called летучий мусь,
01:07which means flying mouse. Which is better?
01:09They just are little flying mice.
01:11Well, mice aren't on the list, but rats are.
01:13And today is World Rat Day. OK.
01:17And this is one of the weirdest things I'm going to talk to you about.
01:20But rats, they get a really bad rap.
01:24The obvious one is the buponic plague and the Black Death.
01:28It wasn't them.
01:29Scientists have worked out rats did not carry the plague to the UK.
01:33It was humans, possibly guinea pigs.
01:36But it wasn't rats. They didn't do it.
01:39Did you know that rats clean themselves more than cats?
01:45No. Right? So there's another one.
01:48They like having their stomachs tickled like dogs.
01:51How do you know this?
01:53Because I regularly find a rat and tickle its stomach.
01:56It was trial and error.
01:58I just tickle every animal's stomach and take notes.
02:01Yeah.
02:02So next time we kind of have that image of rats,
02:04it's not that they don't come with problems and some disease,
02:07but think again, because a lot of it's nonsense.
02:09Have you got a marketing campaign with, you know, the rat people?
02:13Look, I could have talked to you about World Carrot Day.
02:16It's World Carrot Day today, but everyone loves a carrot,
02:19so I thought the rats deserved a bit of national TV.
02:22The underdog of the animal world.
02:25Exactly, exactly.
02:27And our time today, of course, for our spectacular debutant
02:30over in Dictionary Corner.
02:32They'll both be playing Cat and Mouse with the Dictionary.
02:35It's our Susie Dent and Steve Croft.
02:39I thought when you started out with it, you know, rats get a bad rap.
02:42You were talking about Roland Rat and he's...
02:44Didn't he do Rat Rap or something?
02:46Yeah, the Rat Rap. That was bad. Yeah.
02:49You got Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
02:53Boomtown. Boomtown rats.
02:55Raddy from Wind in the Willows.
02:57Think again about rats is the message I'm sending out here.
03:00Everyone's hearing it loud and clear.
03:02Let's race on over to our new champion, Alex Nock,
03:06who beat Gavin, who we thought was odds on to be an OctoChamp,
03:09in what was a complete rollercoaster of a game, wasn't it?
03:12It certainly was, yeah.
03:14It was sublime and ridiculous at times, wasn't it, quite frankly?
03:17Yeah. Even, you know, all this time later,
03:20we talked when you came in the studio for show two and you went,
03:23I can't believe I didn't get that last numbers.
03:25I'm still furious about it. I'm absolutely furious.
03:28Listen, we know a little bit more about you, of course,
03:31talking to you yesterday, but let's find out even more.
03:34You a big pub quizzer?
03:36Yeah, I go to a pub quiz most Thursday evenings now
03:39with my brother-in-law and a couple of other mates,
03:42if they're available. Yeah.
03:44We tend to do all right. We win more often than not.
03:47Right. So that's quite good.
03:49You're the guy that everybody else in the pub is like,
03:52oh, they're here again. We're not going to win today.
03:55We have seen some faces at times, yes.
03:57That's right. Well, listen, that face is not on Myles Newbury.
04:00He's up for it today from Poole and Dorset. How are you doing, Myles?
04:03Yeah, very well, thanks.
04:05Good. I know you're a member of the National Trust,
04:08so we're coming up to a bank holiday weekend.
04:10You're going to take me away?
04:12You're going to take me to a National Trust property?
04:14Where are you taking me?
04:17Tell me about it.
04:20Just lovely grounds. I think there's a golf course next to it.
04:23Nice house. Just a really nice feel. You get a feel for a place.
04:27I love it. Well, listen, you take me there, I'll buy the fish and chips.
04:30Sure. Excellent stuff.
04:32Well, listen, let's see whose chips are in today.
04:34Alex and Myles, best of luck.
04:38Right, Alex, let's get started.
04:40You're champions, so you pick first.
04:42Hello again, Rachel. Come to the constant to start, please.
04:44Start today, thank you, with H.
04:46And another one, please.
04:48T.
04:50And a vowel.
04:52A.
04:54And a consonant. R.
04:56Vowel, please.
04:58I.
05:00And a consonant.
05:02D.
05:04And another vowel.
05:06E.
05:08And a consonant. R.
05:10And a final consonant, please.
05:13Final, G.
05:15At the home and in the studio, let's play Countdown.
05:43MUSIC PLAYS
05:49That's time. Alex?
05:51Just a six. And Myles?
05:53A seven. OK, the six for Alex?
05:55Raider. And our challenger?
05:57Hardier. And hardier. A hardier word than raider.
06:00Very good. Very good indeed. Yep, very nice.
06:02What else did we have over in Dictionary Corner?
06:05Tardier. Harried.
06:07Yeah. Who's written the Harriers? No-one says Harriers any more.
06:10Whatever happened to the Harriers?
06:12Athletic club, running club, the Harriers.
06:14Maybe people prefer to tarry than harry these days.
06:17Perhaps. Harried would have been there, wouldn't it?
06:20Absolutely would. Love that word.
06:22We won't do the poem again. Harry, poodle, all of that.
06:25Right, I want to start by Myles,
06:28but you've only went a couple of metres, so let's get more letters.
06:31Hi, Rachel. Hi, Myles.
06:33I'll start with a consonant, please. You can indeed.
06:35S. And another.
06:38T. And a vowel.

07:09ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS
07:35And that's time, Myles. Just to six.
07:37And Alex. Seven.
07:39And seven. There you go.
07:41The six, Myles. Slons.
07:43And the seven? Sultans.
07:45Sultans. Sultans.
07:47Swing, yes. Very good. There you go.
07:49Seven points each to Dictionary Corner.
07:52Any other sevens in there or better?
07:54We can go eight. Wow.
07:57Let's stick with the moving theme.
07:59At my pace, saunters.
08:01Nice. Yeah. We love that word here.
08:03Exactly. I don't know that we love that word. I love that word.
08:06No, I know. You've always loved that one.
08:08Best one, though, was nutless. I would have liked that one.
08:11I'm not a massive fan of nuts. No.
08:13Not as bad as cheese, but not a fan.
08:16There you go. Well, it's a word that's applicable to me.
08:19I have no nuts on me right now, so there you go.
08:22Good. It works. Let's get our first numbers round, Alex.
08:26Can I have two large ones, please?
08:28Two from my top lot and four from the bottom ones.
08:32The first numbers of the day are...
08:41And the target to reach, 752.
08:44752. Numbers up.
09:03MUSIC CONTINUES
09:16752, the target. Alex?
09:19753.
09:21One away. Miles? No.
09:23OK, Alex, seven points for you, if you're right.
09:26Three times five is 15.
09:29Times 50...
09:31750. 750.
09:33And then nine... Oh, and just add on the three.
09:36You can divide by the nine if you want.
09:39One away. There you go.
09:41A little frustrating, this one. 752, Rachel Riney.
09:44A couple of different ways I found.
09:46One, you could have said 75 plus three, 78,
09:50times that by nine for 702,
09:54and add on the 50, 752.
09:56Well done.
09:59Grip Load is your first teatime teaser.
10:02Grip Load.
10:04This sun decided to shine in the end.
10:06This sun, S-O-N, decided to shine in the end.
10:10APPLAUSE
10:16Hello again. This sun decided to shine in the end.
10:19Grip Load becomes a parodical.
10:21A parodical. 14-7.
10:23After a tricky start for our champion, he's back on top.
10:27So, Miles, let's try and put him under pressure.
10:29OK.
10:31Grip Load.
10:33This sun decided to shine in the end.
10:35This sun, S-O-N, decided to shine in the end.
10:38Let's try and put him under pressure again.
10:40Consonant, please.
10:42Thank you, Miles. P.
10:44And another.
10:46B. And a vowel, please.
10:48E.
10:50And another.

10:56Another. N.
10:58And another. R.
11:00A vowel, please.
11:02E.
11:04And a final consonant.
11:06And a final T.
11:08Thank you, Rachel.
11:37That's time, Miles.
11:40Just a six.
11:42And Alex? Six.
11:44Nice steady round. What's the words?
11:46Create. And? Prance.
11:48Create and prance.
11:50Susie Dent and Steve Cram in Dictionary Corner.
11:53Why me?
11:55Yeah, this is good.
11:57This is all to do with my running style still, isn't it?
11:59Some people used to think I used to prance a bit.
12:01You were a bit of a prancer, the way you ran.
12:03You think? Yeah.
12:05In the classical, he ran like he was an extra in Chariots of Fire.
12:08Don't go there.
12:10We have a bad Chariots of Fire experience, the two of us,
12:12which I'll tell you about later.
12:14Could have had canter, though.
12:16That's better. I felt as though I used to canter quite well.
12:19No, I think horses cantered crummy, but never worry about that.
12:23Let's get more letters. Alex?
12:25OK, could I have a consonant, please?
12:27Thank you, Alex. F.
12:29And another one, please.
12:31P.
12:33And a third.
12:35D.
12:37And a vowel, please.
12:39O. And another one.
12:41I.
12:43And a consonant, please.
12:45P.
12:47And a vowel.
12:49E.
12:51And a consonant.
12:53K.
12:55And a final consonant, please.

13:30Alex?
13:32Six. Talk to me, Miles.
13:34Alex? Tipped.
13:36Tipped. Are you tipping? Tipped as well.
13:38There you go.
13:40Six points each. A lot of people will be sitting at home.
13:43With frustrating sixes, anything better?
13:45Nothing better.
13:47We'll move on, then. Miles, your first time picking the numbers.
13:49Thank you. I'll start with one large, please, Rachel.
13:52Thank you, Miles. One large.
13:54Five little coming up.
13:56And for the second time today, number selection.
13:59Four. One. Four.
14:01Two. Five.
14:03And 100.
14:05And the target?
14:07Oh! 499.
14:09Enjoy yourselves.
14:29ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS
14:41That's time. 499, Miles.
14:43499. Yeah. Alex?
14:45499. She ain't getting out of her seat, right?
14:48I guarantee the bomb's not for moving right now.
14:51Miles, off we go.
14:53100 times five, take away the one.
14:55Yeah. And Alex?
14:57There you go.
14:59Not even a round of applause, it was that easy.
15:01But if I'm playing at home, ten points in the bank.
15:03Happy days.
15:05Right, let's move to Dictionary Corner.
15:07We don't often strong-arm our guests,
15:09but I think I speak with the full support of Rachel and Susie.
15:12We want more of that chariots of fire story.
15:14Oh, yeah, yeah.
15:16All right, OK, so this was...
15:18Seb Coe and I were asked to kind of recreate the famous race.
15:21If you remember the movie,
15:23there's a race around the courtyard at Cambridge,
15:25and they've got to get round the courtyard
15:27before the bells stop chiming.
15:29It's less than a minute or so.
15:31And it was a bit of an indication of...
15:33And it's a great piece in the movie.
15:35So they said, yeah, that'd be great, we'll come along,
15:37and we'll make a big thing of it.
15:39And it was really nice.
15:41Professor Stephen Hawking was there, and I met him,
15:43and then Jack Nicholson turned up.
15:45I didn't even know he was there. It was really weird.
15:47Just somehow, loads of people turned up.
15:49But I just was, you know, I thought,
15:51I'm going to race Seb, right?
15:53And I just turned up in my Jarrow yellow...
15:56I was always proud of wearing my club vest and my shirt.
15:59Seb turned up in 1920s running gear.
16:02I mean, it just saw him.
16:04You know, the long shorts.
16:06He'd obviously gone to the costume department, I think,
16:08of Charities of Fire.
16:10But it was great.
16:12And what I hadn't realised, again,
16:14Seb's a little bit quicker than me over the first 10 yards.
16:16Whoever gets to the first corner first wins,
16:19because there just wasn't room to pass.
16:21He got the first corner. It was brilliant.
16:23The whole of the university and lots of great people
16:26had come to watch, and we had a great dinner afterwards.
16:28It was fantastic.
16:30And then I became quite good friends with David Putnam,
16:33who's a great guy, a great fan of athletics as well.
16:36So it was a nice experience. A bit of a different race.
16:39It's not really down... I don't count it in the races
16:42against Seb in a win-loss. He does.
16:44He does.
16:46I actually love it. Thank you for humouring us with that.
16:50Let's get back to the only game that counts around here.
16:53Alex, your letters.
16:55Could I have a consonant, please? Thank you, Alex.
16:58L And another one.
17:00W And a vowel, please.

17:16A vowel.
17:18Another consonant.
17:20V
17:22And a final vowel, please.
17:24And the last one, E.
17:26Let's play Countdown.
17:48MUSIC PLAYS
17:58That'll do. Alex?
18:00I'll say six. And Miles?
18:02Six. OK. Alex?
18:04Gloves. Yes.
18:06And Miles? The same.
18:08Yeah.
18:10Six points each. Yeah, well done, you pair on gloves.
18:13Great.
18:15Only one we've got for seven is lowages.
18:18Yes, not the one you were expecting.
18:20Loaves. Loaves. Very good.
18:22Yeah. OK, done.
18:24They're for six, yeah. That's why you earn the big bread.
18:26That's exactly right.
18:28Listen, these puns are fantastic. Thank you, I'll keep them coming.
18:31We love a pun around these parts. Anything else?
18:33I'll tell you about lowages.
18:35These are basically payments to the master and crew of a ship
18:38for loading, taking care of the cargo.
18:40Started in Hull, apparently, a lowage.
18:42Fantastic. Well, Alex and Miles, ding-dong, battle so far.
18:45More letters from you. Mr Newbury?

19:57Molar. Molar. He's got you on the hook there, Alex.
20:00That five will score.
20:02Dictionary corner, devilish round.
20:04What do we have? Yes.
20:06A few sixes we had. Yeah, it was a bit like pulling teeth, but...
20:09Sorry. Yeah, we've got a few sixes.
20:11You could have had oil man. Yeah.
20:13But normal would have been...
20:15Normal would have been jump out at you.
20:18Yeah. There you go.
20:20Very good. Oil man and normal.
20:22The upshot of that is there's two points in it at this stage,
20:25which is wonderful.
20:27Our champion with the slight lead and picking our third numbers round.
20:30Can I have one large, five small this time, please?
20:32You can indeed, as long as 499 doesn't come out.
20:35We should banish those kinds of games.
20:37Room 101. Right.
20:39This round is 4, 8, 10,
20:432, 3,

21:26407. And 407.
21:28So, Alex, for ten points...
21:308 minus 2 is 6.
21:328 minus 2... Yep, 6.
21:34Times 75 is 450.
21:374 times 10 is 40, and take that away.
21:39Nicely done. 40.
21:43Well done, Alex. Big round for you.

23:45as we head to Dictionary Corner.
23:47A little bit of a sweet shop of sevens.
23:49How did you get on?
23:51Yeah, there was quite a few sevens.
23:53There were a few hornets as well.
23:55But I did see this early on.
23:57Not from where I'm from, but southern.
23:59Ah, for you to get that word.
24:01My goodness, me, the least southern person I think I know.

25:17Alex, six.
25:19And Miles? Six.
25:21OK, the sixes are? Sailor.
25:23Also sailor. And a sailor.
25:25Mm-hm.
25:27The dictionary corner.
25:29This one's with Susie's help here.
25:31This is an interesting one. Jarules.
25:33Jarules. Yes, tropical Asian trees
25:35with large clusters of purple or white flowers.
25:37Sound beautiful.
25:39Fantastic. It's very tense, isn't it, at the moment?
25:41There's 12 points in it, but you two just relax for a bit.
25:43Gather your nerves as we go for origins of words.
25:46It was money yesterday,
25:48but the thing about viewer emails is I love...
25:51We just never know where it's going to go next, Sue.
25:53No. What have we got?
25:55No, this is going to take us to wild animals and spirits.
25:59So, this is from Sue Dorman.
26:01First of all, the thing that she's been pondering is,
26:04how can the word bear mean the animal and also bear with me?
26:08How can those two be related, if indeed they are?
26:11And speaking of possible siblings, still, says Sue,
26:15a place to make spirits, but also not to move and continuing.
26:18That's in It's Still Snowing.
26:20So, I'm going to try and unpick these a little bit.
26:23So, I'm going to start with still.
26:25So, the still that means not moving or that is still happening.
26:29In other words, it's sort of in a place of constancy.
26:32That goes back to Old English.
26:35Very simple. It was used then in very much the same way.
26:38Nothing particularly colourful there.
26:40But the kind of still they used to make whiskey and other spirits
26:43is a completely different word.
26:45So, that comes from distil,
26:47which itself is based on the Latin stila, meaning a drop,
26:50which I quite like.
26:52So, that one's quite simple. We can dispense with still.
26:55But then Sue asks about bear.
26:57This is really, really ancient
26:59and you'll find related forms that look very similar in Sanskrit,
27:03which is the ancient language of India,
27:05Latin and Greek and lots of languages
27:07that have then been descended from them.
27:10So, the core meaning, bear with me, is to carry.
27:15OK, so, carry goes from the meaning of mental burdens,
27:19of suffering or tolerances, and I can't bear it, really.
27:24So, we have been told to bear and forebear for centuries.
27:29Nowadays, we'd probably say grin and bear it,
27:31but the whole idea is carrying this suffering and tolerating.
27:35Lovely word also in the dictionary, to pertolerate,
27:37which is to see something through to the end,
27:39which I think is beautiful.
27:41Bear the animal, again, very different.
27:43So, all of these are sort of slightly red herrings.
27:45But the reason I love bear
27:47is that it's probably the oldest euphemism in the world
27:51because it actually goes back to a word meaning the brown one
27:55and it was considered so scary, this animal,
27:58that even to say its name was thought to risk having it appear.
28:03So, yeah, I just love that it's the oldest euphemism.
28:06They're not linked.
28:07There are lots of unlikely siblings, as I often say on this programme,
28:10but those still and bear,
28:12very different from the two other distinct meanings that we have as well.
28:15Another viewer's query answered.
28:17And we must say, I know it means you're going to get floods of emails,
28:21but what is the actual email address?
28:23Yeah, well, I love my inbox being flooded.
