00:30Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown studio, and what I'm reliably informed is World Porridge Day.
00:37Now, this is not, Rachel, I understand, one of these rather specious marketing days.
00:42World Porridge Days came out of Scotland, and it was started, it was the World Porridge making championships
00:48to provide nourishing food for the poorest children in the world.
00:54And I've got to tell you that in the winter, porridge, I love it for breakfast.
00:59Made with milk, with berries on it, there's no finer meal. I love it.
01:03And apparently, because of that World Porridge making championships back in Scotland all those years ago,
01:09something like 1.25 million children now receive porridge, a porridge meal, every school day, and I think that's great.
01:17I love porridge. Do you go for porridge?
01:20I like a porridge, yeah, with my oat milk and my coconut milk.
01:24But I am a bit into all the, you know, trendy breakfasts, like acai.
01:27Have you had a acai for breakfast?
01:29Is this Japanese?
01:30No, I think it's from the Amazon.
01:32It's the berry that you blend up with bananas, and it's purple and really tasty and really good.
01:36Oh, that's good, and I haven't got there.
01:38But I love it. I love it.
01:40Well, it's the right day for you, then.
01:42You're not what you're wearing for dinner.
01:43Only in the, and then, if I'm really feeling, as I've got a heavy day in front of me,
01:47two boiled eggs afterwards.
01:49Perfect.
01:49Push the boat out, why not?
01:51Eggs or eggs.
01:52Exactly.
01:52Whatever you say.
01:53Mike Daisley's here, Rachel, again, looking for his sixth win.
01:58You've played quietly and hugely efficiently.
02:00You've been fantastic.
02:01Well done.
02:03High scores, too.
02:04Now, you're joined by Chris Allen.
02:06Welcome, Chris, from Crinant in South Wales.
02:09A retired administrator who loves his country music, yeah?
02:14And you've been to the Grand Ole Opry down in Nashville, Tennessee.
02:17Yep, several times.
02:18Yeah?
02:19Who did you see?
02:20Who was the most famous person I would know?
02:23Probably Merle Haggard or Johnny Cash, I would know.
02:26Oh, Johnny Cash.
02:28He was a legend.
02:29Yes.
02:30And he was a great character, wasn't he?
02:32Yes.
02:33I never actually met him, but it was an experience just to see him perform.
02:37Absolutely.
02:38One to treasure as well.
02:39Yep, indeed.
02:40Good for you.
02:41Well, listen, let's have a lot of fun here today, both of you.
02:45Just relax.
02:46Have a lot of fun.
02:46Big round of applause for Mike and Chris.
02:54And over in the corner, Susie, of course.
02:56And she's sitting beside a man that we won't be seeing for some time to come.
03:00Well, some little time to come.
03:01It's his last day.
03:02It's the wonderful Richard Arnold.
03:04Richard.
03:05It's been a pleasure having you here.
03:07It's been a pleasure having you here, because your story's a great, you know, good sport.
03:13And I hope that at the end of the day, you'll feel sufficiently warm towards us that you'll
03:19promise to come back and see us again before too long.
03:22I'll do anything for a free muesli bar in my dressing room, Nick.
03:26We'll talk to you later about that sort of thing.
03:28Now then, Mike, let's have another game.
03:32Good afternoon, Rachel.

08:36The name of this plant can allude to it being around for the whole year.
08:40And the plant is called Calendula.

10:26All right, let's settle on that then. Thank you. 28 to 11. Mike, your letters came. Can I have a consonant, please? Thank you, Mike. B. And a vowel. A. Another vowel. I. A consonant. F. And another, please. C. A vowel. E. Consonant.

11:47Chris, pass it to Mike, just so the form of it.
11:51There we are.
11:51That's what we do.
11:52And over in the corner, Richard is studying very intently.
11:57And Susie's looking.
11:58And what have you guys got over in the corner?
12:00Well, we just took faced one step further and had what we thought was bifaced.
12:05But actually, it's only bifaced that's there for six, which in archaeology is a type of prehistoric stone implement
12:10that's flaked on both sides.
12:13So both faces are flaked off.
12:15I see.
12:15To make it sharp.
12:16Yes.
12:17Brilliant.
12:18Thanks for that.
12:18Thanks, Richard.
12:19Now, 33 to 16.
12:21Chris, it's your numbers game.

12:43Nine, three, seven.
13:13Well, Chris.

13:17Off you go, Chris.
13:18Three plus six is nine times a hundred is nine hundred.
13:24Plus fifty.
13:26Nine, fifty.
13:27And then ten plus three is thirteen.
13:29Yeah.
13:30Deduct.
13:31Perfect.

13:34Same way.
13:34All right.
13:35Well done.
13:35Well done, guys.
13:40Forty-three plays twenty-six.
13:42And I turn with eager anticipation to Richard.
13:47What have you got for us today?
13:49Are you ready to have your finest sensibilities pummeled, Nick?
13:53Guardedly.
13:54As we move to Love Island.
13:56Oh, no.
13:57I know.
13:57The most talked about show of the summer, of course.
13:59And as we descend headlong into autumn, cast your mind back to the summer of love.
14:05The sizzling isle of Mallorca.
14:06I actually went for the first time this year a couple of times to cover Love Island.
14:09It was, of course, the most talked about show last summer as well.
14:12But this year there were a couple of phrases that I loved.
14:14But he didn't have it in his locker, mate.
14:17I knew you'd finesse it and sick chat.
14:20But originally, of course, the words that grabbed people's attention.
14:23Muggy.
14:24Muggy, yes.
14:25You're being mugged off.
14:26Right.
14:26So you're taken for a ride.
14:27Pied off.
14:28Pied off is rejected.
14:30Rejected.
14:31Prangy.
14:32That means you're sort of anxious or paranoid.
14:34Prangy.
14:34Like looking in a mirror for me, that one.
14:36Savage.
14:36Savage is just like, yes.
14:39Pretty much says what it does on the tin.
14:40And the ick.
14:41The ick factor.
14:43Right.
14:43There's never really been a word for this.
14:46But it's when you suddenly realise that the person of your dreams is actually quite repulsive.
14:50That's not the ick factor.
14:52Well, so I arrived after my trip with Mother on the Orient Express, which I talked to you about last week.
14:58I was out of the country just for 24 hours.
15:01And I realised that the bosses at Good Morning Britain had stolen my identity,
15:05gone on the internet as my good self, and ordained me.
15:11Oh, come.
15:11At the Universal Life Church.
15:14I don't think they threw a huge check at it.
15:16But it meant that I could perform on air, live, the first Love Island wedding, which I did earlier this year between Jess and Dom.
15:24It was a beautiful thing, ladies and gentlemen.
15:26It really was.
15:26I'm not sure the GMB studio was sanctioned for the occasion, so I'm not sure whether or not it was legitimate.
15:33But nevertheless, they pitched up wearing hardly anything.
15:37And in the presence of Jeremy Kyle, who was stepping in for Piers Morgan that day, I spliced the happy couple.
15:45Good Lord.
15:47It was described on the internet by one viewer as the cringiest thing they've ever seen on television.
15:52I urge you to cast a glad eye over these recent episodes of Countdown and reassess your verdict.
15:57But nevertheless, it was a real privilege.
16:01Well done.
16:02Well played.
16:0743, page 26.

24:27Manic.
24:28And Mike?
24:29Notis.
24:32Now then, how did the corner do?
24:35Fittingly, um, I should be doing this when I demand payment, albeit compensation for the
24:42last six shows.
24:43Exaction for eight.
24:45Oh, that's for eight.
24:47Exactly.
24:48Anything else?
24:51Um, no, can't beat that.
24:53There was manioc, um, a sort of tropical tree, um, tuber, um, for six, but that was excellent.
24:58Exaction takes you.
24:59Thanks very much.
25:0072 to play 40.
25:01And Susie, we're back with you for your origins of words.
25:05What have you prepared for us?
25:07What dish?
25:08I want to talk about, um, some of the hidden lives, um, of our words and to express a little
25:14bit of sympathy, as I often do for non-native speakers of English.
25:17You have to deal with a very gnarly language that's had all sorts of influences over the
25:22centuries.
25:23Um, and, uh, the words I'm going to talk about today are ones where the, um, the sound has,
25:28uh, diverged over the centuries from, uh, the original.
25:31So that, whereas with the original, the meaning made absolute sense when you looked at the
25:35word, our pronunciation has made it a little bit trickier to, um, get to the bottom of things.
25:40Um, handsome, I mentioned the other day.
25:42You wouldn't realise it has things to do with the hand.
25:44It meant once made handy rather than, um, beautiful or attractive.
25:49Um, secretary, another one I mention often was somebody who kept secrets.
25:52So we originally used to say secretory, uh, which made a lot more sense.
25:56A cupboard was, of course, a cup board.
25:59It was a bit like a sideboard, uh, that we have these days.
26:01It was, uh, a board or a table on which cups were kept, uh, for visitors and for, um, daily
26:07meals.
26:09A fortnight, 14 nights, uh, began, uh, as that Christmas was Christ's mass, of course.
26:15Um, if you ask kids to spell Christmas these days, they'll very often leave out the T, not
26:19realising that there's a connection with Christ in that, which is a little bit sad.
26:23And blaggard, of course, somebody a blaggard, that's, of course, a real term of contempt, quite
26:27old-fashioned nowadays.
26:28Um, that started off as blaggard, uh, that's how it's written, of course, and that's how
26:33it was pronounced originally.
26:34They were, um, the keepers, the menial servants that were in charge of the pots and pans that
26:38would be blackened through use.
26:40And because they were the lowest of the low in the household, they became seen as being
26:44villains, um, much as villains, of course, were people attached to a villa.
26:47And because they were servants, they were seen as being, again, um, slightly criminal, which
26:52was, uh, a little bit unfortunate.
26:54Um, it's not all, uh, bad, though, because, um, we've actually claimed bad things.
26:58We've been trying to keep back some of the words that lost their, um, pronunciation.
27:01So, waistcoat.
27:02I don't know if you used to say waistcoat, uh, Nick, but certainly that's how it's pronounced,
27:06um, a few decades ago.
27:08Uh, we've claimed that back, we've claimed that now and spell it and pronounce it as a
27:11waistcoat.
27:12And also forehead, you will still hear some people saying forehead, uh, which, of course,
27:17does not tell you how it's spelled at all.
27:19So we've brought that one back.
27:20And there are quite a few examples of those.
27:22But how difficult is it for non-native speakers to unpack these?
27:25And as I say, if we'd kept that sound, um, that, that, you know, represents the word
27:30and the meaning, it would be so much easier for them.
27:32And also for us sometimes, I have to say, as well.
27:35Indeed.
27:37Well done, Susie, as ever.
27:40So good.
27:4172 to 40.
27:42Mike on, that's 72.
