00:00Thank you so much for watching.
00:30Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Here we are.
00:35It's Thursday, and this weekend, the Fries Masters is coming to London,
00:41coming to Regent's Park.
00:42And the Fries Masters, of course, is a huge art exhibition,
00:45something like Rachel, 130 galleries all congregate together in big tents
00:49and show off their wares, which are all sort of old masters,
00:53all from that period.
00:54And, of course, I mean, it's quite extraordinary.
00:56I mean, reading here, artists such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio,
01:00and Rembrandt will be on display.
01:02That's amazing.
01:03That is amazing.
01:04Just the great artists who could actually draw, you know,
01:08that's something these days.
01:09The one that I suppose I was a boy, maybe 10 or 11,
01:15was introduced to by my grandfather with a big book of El Greco paintings.
01:20Of course, he was 16th century, he was Greek, and he was extraordinary,
01:24really, because mainly sort of religious-themed and nobility-themed paintings.
01:29But El Greco was fantastic.
01:32Do you have a favourite old master, if I can put it that way?
01:36Not particularly.
01:36Like you say, a lot of them, I mean, that's what they were funded to paint at the time,
01:40wasn't it?
01:40But loads of religious scenes.
01:41If I see another picture of Jesus hanging up, it went round the Louvre,
01:44and I just was a little bit bored.
01:46A lot of that.
01:47And then I went to, in St. Petersburg, at the Fabergé Museum.
01:51Just the curator of what they've picked, everything was beautiful and so well-lit
01:56and in such a nice arrangement that they were all lovely.
01:59I've got no idea who painted any of it, but I'd have any of those up on my wall.
02:02At the time, it was such an all-pervading subject of everything, wasn't it?
02:07We've moved on from that.
02:09Who's with us, Rachel?
02:10I'll tell you who's with us.
02:10Somebody who scored heavily yesterday, Mike Daisley.
02:14Welcome back.
02:15That was one terrific debut.

02:34in Bradford, gearing up for your Christmas production, Alibaba.
02:39Yeah.
02:39That would be fun.
02:40You've got the 40 Thieves lined up, yeah?
02:41Yeah, well, I think Alibaba's going to make staff cuts.
02:44I don't think we'll be having 40.
02:46You can't get them all on stage.
02:47No, I can't get them all on stage.
02:48Oh, no.
02:49I don't think we'll be on to 40.
02:50Listen, I hope it's great fun for you.
02:52Thank you very much.
02:52How long have you been a performance member?
02:55About 20 years.

08:54Yes.
08:54I think I should have got this one, Nick.
08:55If you say 25 times six is 150, minus nine is 141, times the other six is 846, and add on the five.
09:07Perfect.

13:54Yep.
13:54Well done.
13:552-5-2.
13:56Well done.
13:57And?
13:58Same way.
13:59Same way.
14:04Only six points dividing though.
14:0636 plays 30.
14:08As we turn to Richard.
14:11Richard, we spoke yesterday about Australia.
14:13Now, this year you've been to New Orleans.
14:15It's not Norlins, of course.
14:17You've got to be able to pronounce it correctly.
14:19Otherwise, you'll offend the locals or New Orleans, but it's New Orleans.
14:23That's how you pronounce it.
14:25You may struggle to pronounce it, though, if you've had any of the local tipple.
14:28I don't know if anyone's ever been, but the hurricane, appropriately named, of course, is the drink that you imbibe there.
14:35I did write down the recipe, actually, because you won't remember it, because after two of these, you stand up and it feels like your legs have been cut off, right?
14:42Lemon juice, no harm there.
14:43One part dark rum.
14:44Passion fruit syrup, again, no harm there.
14:46But then you have the half part of over-proofed rum and one part light rum.
14:51It is quite the tipple and probably the reason why celebrities like Sandra Bullock and John Goodman and Brangelina in their day, of course, made New Orleans their home.
14:58One of many, I'm sure.
14:59And, of course, all roads lead to the French Quarter, particularly, as it was this year, for WrestleMania.
15:06Now, it's the first time that I've been immersed in WrestleMania.
15:08I don't know whether you guys are familiar with it, but it's huge.
15:11I mean, it's a week-long event, and it's the culmination of the entire season of storylines, if you like.
15:17So I had no idea what I was immersing myself into.
15:22I had a costume called Dickie the Destroyer, which was cut in all the right places.
15:27Let's leave it at that.
15:29What can I tell you?
15:30The fans are very, very passionate.
15:31You know there's that line from the film.
15:33I think it's The Hangover, where the trip took a turn.
15:37So it's the first time I've been on a flight that was almost diverted.
15:42We nearly never made it to New Orleans.
15:45I heard the call-out on the plane, is there a doctor on the plane?
15:49And then I sort of fell back to sleep and then woke up and spoke to the cabin crew about it.
15:54And they said, at one point during the flight, this particular British fan got quite excited
15:59and had a little bit too much to drink on the flight, and then decided to expose himself,
16:06shouting, I want to be Roman Reigns, which is the name of one of the famous wrestlers.
16:12So I said to the cabin crew, I said, well, does that happen often?
16:14She said, well, the thing is, Richard, she said, he would have gone away with it if he'd just had a tipple.
16:18But it's when you expose yourself that the trip does take a turn.
16:22So as I've said to you, Susie, the next time you have a drink on a plane, I'll leave it there.
16:31Amazing.
16:33And now, Mike, it's your letters game.
16:36Can I have a consonant, please?
16:38Thank you, Mike.
16:38G?

17:48Show, er, Mike your wiggles.
17:51Thank you very much.
17:53Over in the corner, any wiggles over there, Richard?
17:55Certainly after a few hurricanes, which I will have swigged for seven.
18:00Well done.

18:01Yeah, that was our best.
18:03Swigged indeed.

19:27Hot stuff.
19:28One point behind Mike now.
19:30That's excellent.
19:31Richard and Susie.
19:33A bait was all we had.
19:36You can add the A to beat as well.
19:39A beat as in, he set my heart a beat.
19:42Poetically.
19:43But five was tops.
19:44That's beautiful.
19:45It's nice.
19:45Excellent.

24:44Susan?
24:44Seven.
24:45Mike, pounder.
24:47Now then, Susan?
24:48X pound?
24:49Excellent.
24:50Yes.
24:51To explain something in detail.
24:53Yeah.
24:54Excellent players.
24:55Richard and Susie?
24:57Unroped.
24:58Unroped is very, very good.
24:59Yeah, that's another seven.
25:01Thank you very much for that.
25:0366 to 65.
25:06Let's give them a breather.
25:07Susie?
25:09What have you got for us today?
25:11I am going to have a little excursion into the world of foxes.
25:15Beautiful, beautiful animals.
25:17And they've given us one of our most beautiful plants as well.
25:21In fact, Richard was saying his mum absolutely loves fox gloves.
25:25They are really, really pretty flowers that you see,
25:28usually growing in the wild, but also growing, obviously,
25:31as an ornamental flowering plant.
25:33And its origin is a little bit mysterious,
25:36because the thing that you always want to know is why fox and why glove?
25:40Well, the glove part is a little bit obvious when you look at the flower's shapes.
25:44It's almost like you can put your little fingers inside it.
25:47It's like a finger stool, essentially.
25:50Its scientific name is digitalis, which actually comes from the Latin for thimble.
25:55So the same idea.
25:57Digitalis famously used to stimulate the heart muscle.
25:59So it's recorded from the 11th century as fox glove,
26:04but it's the fox bit, obviously, that foxes us, literally.
26:07We know that the Norwegian equivalent is, forgive my pronunciation here,
26:12revbjelder, which means fox bell, so something very similar.
26:16So there was obviously something going on with the animal.
26:19Perhaps there was a fable involving a fox and a flower,
26:22which is very likely because British folklore, in fact, world folklore,
26:25is actually packed full of stories involving foxes.
26:28But if it has, if there was one, it's been lost.
26:32So that remains slightly elusive.
26:33But there's a slightly more charming theory.
26:35If you remember, the other day I was talking about being pixelated,
26:38so being led astray by pixies.
26:40And there's one story that involves fairies, believe it or not,
26:43and the idea that fairies who are often known not just as little people,
26:46but as folks, that they would use the petals of the fox glove
26:50as little coverings for their hand.
26:53And so it began perhaps as fox glove and then morphed into fox glove,
26:57which is a lovely, lovely story.
26:59The fact that there are foxes in other languages as well,
27:01they slightly militate against that, but it is nice.
27:03But there is finally one fable that we do know about involving a fox,
27:07which gave us a great British expression.
27:09And that's from Aesop.
27:10Aesop, the famous fabulist, and his story, The Fox and the Grapes.
27:14And it goes like this.
27:15A hungry fox who spies a cluster of grapes high up on a branch
27:19does her best to leap in the air and snap the grapes down
27:22to satisfy her hunger.
27:24She fails over and over and over, and she grows tired and hungry.
27:28But she collects her dignity, walks away from the vine, and says,
27:32I thought those grapes were ripe and juicy,
27:34but now I see they're too sour to eat.
27:37So she retains her pride and then also gave us the phrase sour grapes,
27:42which centuries later remains in English to this day.
27:45Oh, wonderful.
27:46Isn't that clever?
27:51Quite lovely.
27:53Perfection.
27:5466 to 65.
