00:30Well, good afternoon. Welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:35I know, everybody's always having a go at us Brits.
00:37I saw a headline recently that said that Britons have the worst diet in the whole of Europe.
00:44Down to highly processed foods, apparently.
00:47Highly processed foods.
00:4850% of the average Brit's diet is made up of processed foods.
00:54Compared, Rachel, with in France and Greece, only 14%.
00:59In Italy, 13%.
01:02And it plummets in Portugal.
01:04Well, presumably, we've all got ahead to live a long and healthy life.
01:07It's only 10%.
01:0810%.
01:09And these, of course, processed foods, it says here, are high in hidden danger.
01:14Sugar, salts, and all the other things.
01:17So, do we try and avoid them?
01:18I don't know really what processed food is.
01:20Tell me.
01:21And do you avoid them?
01:22I bet you do, because you're a picky eater.
01:24I'm not picky.
01:25I've just been ill for so long by eating dodgy food.
01:27And it's when you start looking at the packets, and there's a whole load of ingredients that you don't know what they are.
01:32That's probably what processed food is, because it's chemicals and just, like you say, salts and extra sugars and all kinds of things that are no good for you.
01:40So, yeah, I eat loads of fresh veg.
01:43And it's great.
01:44I get my veg box every week, and all sorts of different stuff, whatever's in season, and it actually tastes better.
01:49And, you know, I'm healthy where I used to be ill, so.
01:51Let's ask the good doctor in a minute.
01:54Shall we do that?
01:55Well, we've introduced the wonderful Toby MacDonald.
01:58Welcome back, Toby.
02:00Four wins and four centuries.
02:02That's not easy, Toby.
02:05Sixth form student from Chard in Somerset.
02:08And you're a very cool character.
02:10You're relaxed.
02:10You are, I think.
02:11Yeah.
02:12You're a good player.
02:13You're a good player.
02:14You're joined by Alyssa Critchley, a maths student.
02:18Yep.
02:19From the University of Lincoln, originally from Rotherham.
02:23Mm-hmm.
02:24Rotherham's home, where you play your ukulele, I'm told.
02:28Yeah, well, I bought a ukulele about a month ago.
02:31Me and my friends just decided, you know, we're in enough debt as it is.
02:34Why not just go spontaneously buy a ukulele?
02:37So, yeah, we're all trying to...
02:39Is it fun?
02:39Yeah, it's fun.
02:41I can play, like, one song.
02:44Welcome, welcome.
02:45Welcome to you both.
02:46Big round of applause, then, for Alyssa and Toby.
02:51Absolutely.
02:53And Susie, too.
02:54How are you, Susie?
02:54Yeah, very well, thank you.
02:55You're a picky eater, as my mother would say.
02:58A piggy eater?
02:59No.
02:59Picky.
02:59Oh, picky, sorry.
03:00No, apart from that, I don't eat meat, but apart from that, I'm pretty relaxed.
03:05Let's turn to the experts.
03:06Dr. Phil.
03:07Hello.
03:07Dr. Phil, broadcaster, general good bloke.
03:10What's the story on processed foods, then?
03:12If you want to avoid processed foods, you either pluck it off a tree, or you pull it out the ground,
03:16or you fish it out the ocean.
03:18Everything else will have some degree of processing.
03:20Generally, as Rachel says, the rule in food is quite easy.
03:23Eat food, not too much, mainly plants.
03:26Yeah.
03:27You don't care for meat, then?
03:28You think meats?
03:29Everything in moderation.
03:30My Aunty Queen used to say, full up variety is the spice of life, moderation in all things.
03:34Yeah.
03:34So I love a nice bit of meat, but I don't have it every day.
03:38Like a bacon sandwich, occasionally.
03:40Never been sick, never had a day off work, never had a day in hospital.
03:44You look...
03:44I have a fine physique of a man.
03:47You look just great.
03:49Thank you very much.
03:49All right.
03:50Now, Toby, off we go.

13:56Uh, 50 times five is 250.
13:58Yep.
13:58And eight minus seven is one, and take it away.
14:01It is indeed. Straightforward, that one.
14:03Well done.
14:06Well done.
14:08So, Dr Phil, what have you for us today, NHS-wise?
14:13This week we are celebrating the 70th birthday of the NHS.
14:17In fact, I'm travelling the country with a show called Happy Birthday, NHS, with a question mark on the end.
14:22Mm.
14:22Because I think there's some debate about the future of the NHS, but the past is very interesting.
14:26I left you on tenterhooks yesterday, uh, talking about how the NHS nearly never happened.
14:31So, uh, Clement Attlee's government won after the war, uh, Nye Bevan popped up and he said,
14:36I'm going to introduce a National Health Service in six months.
14:40And the doctors were against it because they didn't want to be servants of the state.
14:44Uh, we want your doctor to be free to be able to act on your behalf.
14:46We don't want to be militarised.
14:48And there was lots of very angry BMA people who talked about Nye Bevan being the Führer.
14:53Uh, very angry meetings.
14:55So Nye Bevan decided to go to the Royal Colleges and he went to see this chap called Lord Moran,
15:00otherwise known as Corkscrew Charlie, who was Churchill's private doctor.
15:04Mm.
15:04He was the most powerful doctor in the land and they concocted this plan where consultants would support the NHS
15:10because they wanted state investment in these crumbling hospitals,
15:13so they'd get new x-ray machines and everything that went with that,
15:16provided they were still allowed to do their private work.
15:18So they could still nip over the road to Harley Street.
15:21And it looked as if he'd won the argument.
15:22Then poor old Lord Moran faced a vote to see if he was going to be the next president of the Royal College of Physicians
15:28from a chap called Lord Hoarder, uh, who was King George VI doctor.
15:32So there was this big vote in the Royal College of Physicians.
15:35Lord Moran, who was supporting Bevan, Lord Hoarder, who thought the NHS was a terrible thing.
15:39And the whole of the NHS depended on this vote in the Royal College of Physicians.
15:43It was as close as it had ever been.
15:45Eventually, Lord Moran won by 170 votes to 165.
15:50Mm.
15:50If just three doctors had voted against, uh, the NHS, it probably would never have happened.
15:55That's how close it was.
15:57So Nye Bevan took this away and announced that he had the Royal College of Physicians on side,
16:01but still the BMA opposed him.
16:04The BMA came up with a £400,000 fighting fund and said,
16:07we will never allow this to happen.
16:09Just three months to go to the start of the NHS and still the BMA are opposing it.
16:14Will the NHS ever happen?
16:16Find out tomorrow.
16:17Wonderful.
16:21Wonderful.
16:22And at some stage, will you tell us what will happen if it crumbles and what it will be replaced by?
16:28Yes, I'm doing the NHS in the future on my final day, so that will come.
16:32Looking forward.
16:32But it won't crumble before you crumble, so don't worry.
16:36I could crumble any minute.
16:38Now then, 48 plays 10, at least off the blocks there, and it's Toby's letters game.

24:57Now, Toby.
24:58Uranatil.
25:00Really?
25:01What does that mean?
25:02Uranatil?
25:05Susie?
25:06Um, how are you spelling it?
25:08Uh, U-R-A-N-O-T-I-L.
25:11Yep, you can spell it without the final E.
25:13It's a term from, um, mineralogy, and it means the same as uranothane, which is a yellow mineral,
25:19uh, which is a product of uranium ores.
25:21Very, very good.
25:23Very good.
25:28Exceptional, I would say.
25:30Now, Susie, what have you got for us today?
25:34Your wonderful origins of words is a constant delight.
25:38Well, daily, anyway.
25:40Uh, well, we had a great email in from John Tuke, who is 97 years old, and he says, I'm
25:46talking about a saying which is about 90 years old.
25:49And I have a bit, it probably won't be very familiar to, um, younger viewers, but I do
25:53get asked about this one quite a lot.
25:55Um, and John says, there was no IT or any other ways of gossiping in those days.
25:59And when there was a scandal in our village, which my mum thought was rubbish, she used
26:03to say, that is all my I and Betty Martin.
26:06Who, asked John, was Betty Martin?
26:10Um, well, the first evidence that we have of Betty Martin is from 1781 in that phrase,
26:16all my I and Betty Martin.
26:17And it's mentioned in the Oxford English Dictionary as a sea sailor's phrase, so, um, something
26:22that perhaps comes from a sea shanty, et cetera.
26:26But back to Betty Martin, there are a number of theories, as you might expect, as to who
26:30she was.
26:31There's one that Betty Martin, who's described as a gypsy woman in Shrewsbury, who's said to
26:35have punched a constable in the eye.
26:37Um, another one is Betty Martin from Kent, who apparently used to dress up as a ghost
26:43to scare her neighbours, was discovered and then left town, and so she became a byword
26:48for some sort of fraudulent endeavour.
26:50But, the best explanation that we have is a Latin prayer, uh, which began, ora pro mihi
26:58Beate Martine.
26:59And that's commonly translated as, pray for me, blessed Martin.
27:03The idea that Martin here is Saint Martin, who was the patron saint of, uh, taverners
27:08and also drunkards, so was very heavily involved with alcohol in one way or another.
27:14So, perhaps if you were drunk, that, uh, Latin prayer did sound a little bit like Betty
27:19Martin, Beate Martine, as Betty Martin.
27:22You might, yeah, you might have to be slightly inebriated to get that one.
27:25But that is the best bet that we have, John.
27:28But I do get asked about it a lot.
27:30It's extraordinary that something's 300 years old, and we don't know,
27:33who the character is that's involved, is with us still.
27:36Extraordinary.
27:40If Betty Martin is listening at home, perhaps she could get in touch.
27:43Get out there, Betty.
27:44We want to hear from you.
27:46She'd be quite old by now.
27:47She would be.
27:47She lies about her age, anyway.
27:50Well done, Susie.

33:07It's just a guess in dubbing.
33:10Let's have a look.
33:12No, and all the rest of the time is down to Alyssa.
33:17No, let's have a look then.
33:19What is this difficult one?
33:23Dubbing.
33:24If you dubbing your rugby boots, presumably, with dubbing,
33:28which is some sort of animal fat, I think, isn't it?
33:29Yeah, dubbing is grease used for waterproofing, softening leather,
33:33so if you apply dubbing to your shoes or your boots, you are dubbinging.
33:37Yeah, absolutely.
33:38So, well done.
33:39I'll come back to you in a minute.
33:41Do you know, sometimes we live in a cruel world,
33:44and it was sort of cruel because on a normal day,
33:47in a normal, you know, countdown, you'd done just great.
33:50You'd take this goodie bag back to Lincoln with our very best wishes,
33:53and good luck with the ukulele as well.
33:56All right.
33:56Thank you so much.

34:11Really enjoyed just watching Toby perform again.
34:14It's just brilliant.

34:17someone who masters his craft.
34:18So, very good for that.
34:20And, yes, looking forward to doing a bit of dubbing,
34:22and then I'll be back home tomorrow.
