01:00I know about that, but there we are. York is the best place. But I don't know, think about the places I've lived, and I haven't lived in that many places. I could never be too far away from London, to be quite honest. You know, the pulsing crowds, there's so much going on, great restaurants and cinemas and theatres and museums, all the rest of it. But sometimes you want quiet. And as you know, we've got a little sort of shed down in the middle of nowhere in France.
01:30Well, I enjoyed it when I lived in Oxford, because all your mates were around you, and I was staying in, you know, 13th century building. Really good prices. Didn't have to do any cooking, didn't have to do any cleaning. There's the covered market. You get to cycle around everywhere. And in the summer, Oxford's absolutely gorgeous.
01:43Beautiful city. But now you're a Londoner.
01:46Now I'm a Londoner. And I'm like you, I wouldn't be anywhere else now. I didn't used to like it, but now I'm in West London. West is best. Love it. Love it.
01:53Indeed. All right. Now, who's back with us? Rachel, we've got Sarah Harper back, mosaic artist from London, from Greenwich. We have two good wins now. Are you feeling comfortable?
02:04I'm feeling better than I did on Friday.
02:06Brilliant. Now, you're joined by John Mason. And John's a retired pharmacist from Stockton-on-Tease. And when he retired, he said, I'm taking myself off around the world. What a great thing to do. And you pitched up in Australia.
02:17Yes, yes. Went to watch a couple of the Ashes tests in Adelaide and Perth, which, unfortunately, we lost them both, but still had a good time.
02:26Were you a cricket fan anyway?
02:28Oh, yes, yes.
02:29Now, tell me this, because I'm not, you know, I'm not a follower of cricket particularly, but this sledging business, are the Aussies particularly good at it?
02:37I believe so.
02:38Or bad at it?
02:39I think we don't hear a lot of what's said on the field, which is probably just as well, but...
02:43There's no bad language in the Countdowns, Junior. Mind you, the occasional bad word pops up on the board, but there we are. We have to take our chances on that. Let's have a big round of applause for John and Sarah Harper.
02:57And over in the corner, Susie's there, joined. And it's a big welcome, because it's your debut. It's TV presenter, Anita Rani. Welcome.
03:07Thank you. I'm delighted to be here. I've done a lot of TV shows, but this is the one. I've made it now. I'm on Countdown. I've spent hours and hours and hours of my life watching the programme, and now I am in Dictionary Corner.
03:22Brilliant stuff. All right. Now, Sarah, show us how it's done.

13:36It was there, Nick.

13:40And then 100 plus 8, 108.
13:43Times those together for 432.

13:48Perfect.
13:51Perfect.
13:51Straight turn.
13:5332 plays 29.
13:54John on 32.
13:55We turn to Anita now.
13:58Anita, you recently won a Royal Television Society Award
14:01for something that was very, very close to your heart, I think.
14:04Yes.
14:05I made a Who Do You Think You Are a few years ago,
14:07which is an incredible experience to go through.
14:09When they phoned me up and said, do you want to make this programme,
14:12I sort of looked over my shoulder and thought, are you sure you mean me?
14:14Surely I need to be at least 60.
14:17But it changed my life.
14:18And it's strange because I've been going to India since I was two years old.
14:24And I've sort of known about bits of Indian history.
14:26And I've read books about the partition of India, which happened in the north,
14:29which is where my family's from, Punjab.
14:31But I've always kind of thought my parents are the reason I am.
14:34And I guess as a grandchild of migrants, maybe that's kind of as far as you want to go.
14:38So I sort of thought, OK, let's see what I find out.
14:41And really didn't appreciate just how much of an impact it would have had
14:44or really how much you are affected by what happens, you know, 100, 200 years ago.
14:50And I discovered this horrible piece of history about my grandfather having a family
14:54that all of them perished during the partition of India
14:56because he was away with the British Indian Army.
14:59And at the time of partition, when, you know, it was all hell broke loose
15:03and he lost absolutely everybody.
15:05Off the back of that programme, it went out.
15:08There was a huge reaction from the British audience who watched it.
15:12Lots of British Asians getting in touch saying,
15:15we sort of vaguely heard Granny talk about this,
15:17but we really don't know anything about it.
15:19And it really kind of affected me.
15:21And I thought, how do we not know about this important piece of global history?
15:25And how do British Asian kids like me, second and third generation,
15:28not know about their own direct history?
15:31So then it kind of led to me making another programme all about the partition
15:34that got this amazing recognition.
15:38I watched it.
15:39My family, partition and me, India 47.
15:41A great story and a great, great film.
15:43I remember it very well.
15:53Now, 32 to 29, John's there just ahead.
15:57And it's Sarah.
15:58It's your letters game.
16:00May I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
16:03Thank you, Sarah.
16:03T.
16:04And another.
16:06B.
16:07And another.

16:10And a vowel, please.
16:12E.
16:13And another.

16:15And one more.
16:17O.
16:19And a consonant, please.
16:20S.
16:21S.
16:22And another.
16:24G.
16:25And another consonant, please.
16:27And lastly, D.
16:30Stand by.
16:30And another.
16:43Yes, Sarah?
17:02Six.
17:03A six.
17:04And John?
17:05Try a seven.
17:07Sarah, booked.
17:09Booked and?
17:10Stooged.
17:11Stooging about?
17:12Yes, you can stooge about, move about aimlessly,
17:15or you can perform a role whereby you're the butt of a comedian's jokes.
17:20Is that a stooge?
17:21Stooging, yes.
17:22It does absolutely fine.
17:24Now, in the corner, Anita and Susie?
17:27We've got seven.
17:29Boosted.
17:30Boosted.
17:31You must be boosted after you're seven.
17:33Very nice.
17:34Now, 39 to 29, ten points in it.
17:37And John?
17:38Doing well there, John.
17:39Let us go.
17:40Let's start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
17:43Thank you, John.
17:44N.
17:45And a vowel.
17:46A.
17:48A consonant.
17:49C.
17:51Another consonant.
17:53X.
17:55A vowel.
17:56I.
17:58Consonant.
18:00H.
18:01Vowel.
18:02O.
18:04O.
18:06Consonant.
18:08R.
18:09And a vowel, please.
18:10And the last one.
18:12I.
18:13Cangta.
18:14Cangpaan.
18:26I.
18:27Cangpaan.
18:29I.
18:35Well, John?
18:46Just got a five there, Nick.
18:47A five and Sarah? Six.
18:49John?
18:50Ranch.
18:52Ranch and Sarah?
18:53Anchor.
18:55Anchor. Anchor's away.
18:56Nice.
18:57What about the corner? Anita, Susie?
18:59In arch.
19:00It's a six.
19:01Yes.
19:02Yes, gardening.
19:03Gardening, yes.
19:03It's horticultural, a term for grafting a plant by connecting a growing branch without separating it from the parent plant.
19:10So you sort of arch it over and graft it that way.
19:13So just four in it.
19:14So 39 days, 35, Sarah on 35.
19:17And it's Sarah's numbers, Sarah.
19:21May I have two large and four small, please, Rachel?
19:24Same again. Thank you, Sarah.
19:25Two from the top again.
19:26And these four little ones are one, two, four and five.
19:31And the large ones, one hundred and seventy-five.
19:35And the target, six hundred and seventy-six.
19:38Six, seven, six.
19:39That's right.
19:43We'll stop at this.
19:48The goal is to show you.
19:50And here's where we'll be.
19:57It's more controversial.
19:59Bye.
20:03And the value.
20:05Well, Sarah?
20:11No, I've lost it.
20:13John?
20:146, 7, 6.
20:16Well done. Let's try.
20:185 plus 4 equals 9.
20:20Yep.
20:21Times 75 is 675.
20:246, 7, 5.
20:25Plus the 1.
20:26Simple as that. Well done. 6, 7, 6.
20:28Well done indeed.
20:29It takes you up to 49 points now to Sarah's 35 as we go into our second tea time teaser, which is panic mode.
20:41And the clue, nothing to panic about here.
20:44It's about being collected.
20:46Nothing to panic about here.
20:47It's about being collected.
20:49Welcome back.
21:07I just with the clue, nothing to panic about here.
21:10It's about being collected.
21:12And the answer to that is compendia.
21:15Compendia.
21:16Now, Susie, where did this spring from?
21:19Simply the plural of compendium, a collection of concise but detailed information about a particular subject.
21:25Comes from the Latin meaning to weigh together.
21:27So you're sort of weighing up different kinds of information.
21:29Oh, OK.
21:31Compendia.
21:3249 to 35.
21:33John in the lead.
21:34And it's John we turn to now.
21:37Let's start with a consonant, please, Rachel.
21:39Thank you, John.
21:40P.
21:41In a vowel.
21:42A.
21:43In a consonant.
21:45S.
21:47In a consonant, please.
21:48M.
21:50Vowel.
21:52E.
21:53Consonant.
21:55W.
21:57Vowel.
21:59E.
22:00Consonant.
22:02T.
22:03And a vowel, please.
22:04And the last one.
22:06A.
22:08Stand by.
22:09Talk about things.
22:33Well, John?
22:41It's to five, Nick.
22:43Sarah?
22:43Five.
22:44Two fives.
22:45John?
22:46Meats.
22:47And?
22:48Stamp.
22:48And stamp.
22:50Now, can we beat five?
22:52What do you think, Anita?
22:53Just by one, we've got a six.
22:55Peseta.
22:57The old peseta.
22:58They don't use them any more, presumably, do they?
23:00They don't, no.
23:01And interestingly, that also goes back to the Latin for being weighed up.
23:05So, the same route as compendia.
23:07Fifty-four to forty.
23:09Sarah, let us go.
23:12Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
23:14Thank you, Sarah.
23:16Y.
23:17And another.
23:19F.
23:20And another.
23:22B.
23:23And one more.
23:25S.
23:26And a vowel, please.
23:27I.
23:28And another.
23:29A.
23:30And another.
23:32E.
23:34And a consonant, please.
23:36T.
23:37And finally, another consonant, please.
23:40And finally, S.
23:43Stand by.
23:44And another.
24:12Sarah?
24:16Six.
24:17Now John?
24:18Six.
24:19Sarah?
24:20Feasts.
24:21And John?
24:22Bastes.
24:23Bastes.
24:24Yes.
24:25What, like basting a turkey?
24:27Yes.
24:29Yes, you can baste a turkey.
24:30Oh, good.
24:31Not very good at cooking.
24:33What have we got in the corner there, Anita?
24:36We've got seven fiestas.
24:39Yep, along with pesetas.
24:41Susie, anything else?
24:41There's also beatify to, you know, by the church.
24:45If you're beatified, you are made a saint.
24:49Eventually.
24:49Not yet.
24:50No, that's true.
24:51At step one.
24:52That's very true.
24:53Then they've got to find a few miracles.
24:56And then you're really on the way to...
24:58Then you've made it.
24:59Amazing.
25:0060, page 46.
25:02John on 60.
25:03Susie, what have you for us today in your origins of words?
25:09I am going to try to answer an email that came in from Alice Stewart, who's reading English
25:15at uni.
25:17And so she's been reading some 18th century texts and has found uses of the word agony,
25:22meaning to celebrate or something of joy.
25:25And she's wondering how that came about.
25:28And it does seem a pretty unlikely development when you think about it.
25:31We have to look back so often to the ancient Greeks, who loved bringing people together in enormous assemblies,
25:38games, athletic contests, etc.
25:40These games brought masses and masses of people together.
25:45And they were indeed celebrations.
25:47But their name for the public gatherings was Agon.
25:51And Agon goes back to a very ancient root, ag, meaning to move.
25:54And you'll find it behind so many words in English.
25:57Agent, synagogue, coagulate, agenda, that sort of thing.
26:02The idea of moving or gathering together.
26:05And the struggle to win the prize in the athletic contest, and often it was a very aggressive,
26:11quite difficult, violent struggle, came to be called agonia.
26:16And over time, that began to take on the meaning of any difficult struggle.
26:21And eventually to the pain that, as I say, was so often involved in that particular struggle.
26:25And the Romans, as they often did, took that word on from the Greeks, and they took agonia with exactly the same meaning.
26:32Moved into French, and then eventually into English.
26:35And it was Chaucer, actually, who first used it to mean mental anguish or distress.
26:39Again, looking back to this pain that was involved in those vast gatherings in ancient Greece.
26:45But then something strange happened, and this is where Alice's question came in.
26:48Because in around the 18th century, it began to mean a strong and uncontrollable expression of delight or joy.
26:55So it moved from intense pain to intense pleasure.
26:58And it lasted that way for a bit.
27:00So in Tom Jones, Henry Fielding's novel, you'll find,
27:03The first agonies of joy, which were felt on both sides, are indeed beyond my power to describe.
27:08That sort of intensity involved.
27:09But, sadly, because we're a pessimistic bunch, I guess, the distressful senses of agony were the ones that prevailed.
27:17Which is why we talk about it in that sense today.
27:20But, yeah, who knew?
27:20It goes back to enormous, vast assemblies watching these athletic contests in Greece.
27:26Interesting.
27:27Amazing.
27:31Amazing.
27:32So interesting.
27:3460-46.

29:08Yes.
29:09From the Italian Simply Musician,
29:11but you specifically, yeah,
29:13of high voices.
29:14But sometimes you add politico.
29:18Is it not the same sort of trick?
29:20It's the same sort of suffix, yes.
29:21Yeah.
29:21But it narrowed in meaning, I guess.
29:23Bug it on the end.
29:2466 to 46.
29:27Oh, Sarah.
29:28Letters game.
29:30May I have a consonant, please, Rachel?

32:02And Sarah?
32:03Exactly the same.
32:07There we go.
32:09Where have they got to, Rachel, those two missing figures?
32:12Um, there are a couple of ways.
32:14One, you could have said 50 plus 8, 58, times the other 8 is 464, and then 3 minus 1 is
32:232, times 6 is 12, to add on 476.
32:27Perfect.
