01:00Two wonderful finalists.
01:02And the winner?
01:03The winner will get this set of dictionaries, a top-of-the-range laptop, and of course,
01:08and perhaps most importantly, the winner will have their name etched onto the Richard
01:13Whiteley Memorial Trophy.
01:15That's really something that is well worth fighting for, my word, to be on that trophy.
01:21While the admirable runner-up will get a top-of-the-range tablet computer.
01:27I don't know.
01:28I just think it's been the best fun ever.
01:31Really cracking performance.
01:32Have you got any highlights you'd like to share with us?
01:34Rachel?
01:34I think the highlight for me for this series was meeting one of our viewers that watches
01:39every single day, and he's only six years old, and he's one of the best numbers players I've
01:44ever met.
01:44Really?
01:45Hands down.
01:46He would compete with our finalists now, and I know he's watching.
01:49He knows all the stats about Countdown.
01:51His name's Eden.
01:52He lives in Aberdeen.
01:53So I know he'll be watching you with great interest, and he'll be competing against you
01:57as well, but it's lovely seeing people that enjoy watching the show every day, and especially
02:01young viewers.
02:01Excellent stuff.
02:02Well, little Eden, wherever you are, you concentrate.
02:05See if you can beat these two.
02:07Who are these two?
02:08Well, Paul Erdenast, our number one seed coming into the finals, after an impressive win over
02:15Conrad, young Conrad.
02:17How are you feeling?
02:18You feeling good?
02:19Oh, a bit nervous, but yeah.
02:21Number one seed.
02:22You're up against our number three seed, Anne Dibbon, whose little daughter, little two-year-old
02:29Alice, I guess, is glued to the television set at home.
02:32She will be watching.
02:32Excellent stuff.
02:33All right.
02:33Well, you start young on Countdown, please.
02:37Wonderful stuff.
02:38And you could be the first female winner in 18 years.
02:40I think the last was Kate Ogilvie way back in 1998.
02:44Well, listen, let's have a big round of applause for Anne Dibbon, our number three seed, and Paul
02:49Erdenast, our number one seed.
02:57And over in the corner, of course, the Diane of Dictionary Corner, Susie Dent, and to
03:03keep her under control and keep us all healthy and keep our blood pressure down, none other,
03:09of course, than the wonderful Dr. Phil Hammond.
03:11What a splendid week it's been.
03:14I think what's really interesting about the final is that partly it's about your skill
03:17and knowledge, but also it's about your attitude to risk.
03:20Exactly.
03:20I prefer a risky egg myself.
03:22But that's just me.
03:23That's just me.
03:24All right.
03:25Brilliant.
03:25Thanks.
03:25Well, you keep us all under control and in good shape throughout this finals, but now
03:30it's time to get down to business.
03:32It's all on now.
03:34Paul, let us go.
03:36Let's go.
03:37Good afternoon, Rachel.
03:38Good afternoon, Paul.
03:39Consonant, please.
03:40Good luck to you both.
03:41Start the final with N.
03:43And another.
03:44K.
03:45And a vowel.
03:47U.
03:48And another.
03:50I.
03:51And a consonant.
03:52S.
03:53And another.
03:55R.
03:56And a vowel.
03:58A.
03:59And another.
04:01E.
04:02And a final vowel, please.
04:03And a final O.
04:06And here's the countdown clock.
04:39How was it, Paul?
04:40Nine.
04:42What?
04:43Anne?
04:44Just a seven.
04:46Anne-7?
04:47Oh, snake here.
04:49Now then, Paul.
04:51Urokinase.
04:52Oh, thank you for that.
04:54My word.
04:55It's definitely a word.
04:56Urokinase is a medical term.
04:57Urokinase.
04:58Yeah.
04:59It's an enzyme produced in the kidneys that dissolves or can be used to dissolve blood
05:03clots.
05:04My word.
05:08That is actually brilliant.
05:13In the old days, you'd die of a heart attack because a big clot would be stuck in your
05:16blood vessel.
05:17And then urokinase or streptokinase, where enzymes used to dissolve the blood clot immediately.
05:21And now they go even a step further.
05:22They put a little stent in, like a bit of scaffolding to relieve the blockage in an artery
05:26when you have a heart attack.
05:27It's called hot stenting.
05:27And ultimately, the pain goes, they do it, and there's awful crushing chest pain going
05:31down which arm, Nick?
05:32Left.
05:33Your left arm suddenly vanishes as they dissolve the clot or they stick a stent in.
05:37It's quite amazing what they can do.
05:38Susie, anything else?
05:40With Anne on Smokia there.
05:41All right.
05:42Well done.
05:43Thanks, Phil.

13:49Two to three.
13:51Two to three.
13:51Two to three.
13:51Two to three.
13:522, 2, 3. Paul? 2, 2, 3. And Anne? 9, 25s. 9, 25s. 2, 2, 5. Minus 3. Minus 3.
14:042, 2, 2. And 4 divided by 4. Is the one for 2, 2, 3. Well done. Paul? Same way.
14:10There we go.
14:19Not much in it. 53 to 42. Anne on 42 as we turn to Dr. Phil.
14:24Point of information, you tricked me into saying antifreeze is methanol, which is nonsense. It's ethylene glycol is antifreeze, so
14:31I've got to correct that.
14:32And remember, if you have a heart attack, you might not actually get crushing chest pain down your left arm.
14:36You might just suddenly feel really awful and dizzy and sick, but not have as much pain as you thought.
14:40So anything that makes you feel suddenly awful is usually bad news. Just want to clear that up for you,
14:44Nick.
14:45OK, now, moving on to what should we do about trying to get your best from the NHS with my
14:50T-shirts.
14:51I'm going to move on to what you do now when you go and see a doctor when you're considering
14:54having some sort of form of procedure.
14:56And the T-shirt I would recommend today is I Love Consent.
14:59Even if I take your blood pressure, I'm supposed to try to get your implicit consent for me.
15:03But also government policy. The reason junior doctors are so angry is that a new contract is being imposed on
15:09them without their consent.
15:10And people feel bullied and beaten, almost like an abusive relationship, when politicians impose stuff that hasn't been agreed, hasn't
15:16been properly funded or tested or staffed.
15:18Here's an interesting one as well to wear when you're having surgery.
15:20Have you done one like me before?
15:23Of course you could wear that clubbing as well, couldn't you, Nick?
15:25But the point about this is there are two things that can affect the likely success of the operation.
15:33One is the choice of people doing it, the team doing it, particularly the surgeon.
15:36There are still wide variations in, for example, heart surgery and knee surgery and all sorts of things.
15:42So trying to use a bit of inside information to find out the best person can still make a big
15:45difference.
15:46But the biggest thing that influences whether you come through an operation are how fit you are going into it.
15:51So your level of fitness, what your lungs are like, what your heart like, what your weight's like, is the
15:55biggest single indicator.
15:56So if you're thinking of having surgery, try to get yourself as fit as possible.
16:00Come off those fags, come off the booze, try and get yourself fit for surgery because that will fundamentally affect
16:04your survival and recovery.
16:06OK, as you go into hospital, or indeed the GP surgery, don't touch me unless you've washed your hands.
16:13Another good one for clubbing, Nick.
16:17They're multi-purpose, these T-shirts.
16:19Sometimes we're busy, forget I wash your hands, we're stressed and there aren't enough doctors and nurses.
16:23And sometimes to cut corners they will rush things.
16:25And if you don't think somebody's washed their hands, it's perfectly OK to ask.
16:28But do it in a kind, supportive manner.
16:30And here's the good one to wear in hospital, please try not to kill me today.
16:34It appeals to doctors and nurses' sense of humour.
16:36And studies in my local hospital have shown that they're less likely to kill you if you wear this T
16:39-shirt.
16:40More likely to kill the person in the next bed.
16:42But it's dog-eat-dog out there, dog-eat-dog.
16:45The final decision you have to make in hospital is, what would happen if your heart stopped, OK?
16:50Is it worth restarting it?
16:51You have to decide for yourself whether you're not for resuscitation, right?
16:55Or whether you'll pull out all the stops, OK?
16:57You don't want to get this T-shirt on back the front because that would be a disaster.
17:01So, you know, get involved in medical decision-making.
17:03Decide, you don't have to buy my T-shirts because they're not for sale, but make your own T-shirt.
17:07Yeah.
17:08Come and see me at the Edinburgh Fringe and we can discuss further.
17:11I'm up there from August the 4th to the 27th.
17:13It'd be lovely to see you up there.
17:15Thank you very much.
17:15Well done.
17:21Very good.
17:22All right.

20:13A couple of ragooos.
20:15You could have a ragoo for breakfast and one for lunch, couldn't you, Nick?
20:18You could, indeed.
20:19You could stretch it if you need to finish it.
20:21Now then, 68 plays 57.
20:23And now, Paul, it's numbers, and we're getting late in the day now.
20:29One large, please, Rachel.
20:31Thank you, Paul.

20:43And the target, 352.

21:18Yes, Paul?
21:19Three, five, two.
21:20Three, five, two, and?
21:21No, just three, five, three.
21:23Right, Paul.
21:25OK, 25 take four, plus one.
21:2725 minus four, plus one, 22.

21:36Lovely.
21:37Well done.
21:38Well done.

25:34Good to know. All right. Now, in the corner, what have we got over there? Paul, did you have any
25:39other words you'd like to share with us?
25:41While you're there, couldn't get any more than seven. Have you got a seven there, haven't you? Staging, yes. Staging,
25:47which is not nearly as interesting as. No.
25:50So, 19 to 71, and still a bit of time left as we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins
25:56of words. Susie?
25:57Well, I've been talking about collective nouns all week. But they do really get people going. And recently on Twitter,
26:05a hashtag got started, which was modern collective nouns.
26:09And it just took off. It was trending for a very long time. So, I'm going to read out some
26:13of the ones that I quite like.
26:15There's a foothurt of Lego, which will, any parent can relate to that. A drain of phone batteries. We all
26:23know that one.
26:23A pedant of Oxford commas. I like that one. A blur of opticians. A boaty of McBoatfaces.
26:31Which is quite a good one. But quite a few of them involved drink. And that was always the case.
26:38So, if you go back to some of the earliest collective nouns, which originated in the sort of 1400s and
26:451500s, you will find things like a drunk ship of cobblers.
26:49Because shoemakers were notorious for getting a little bit tipsy on the job.
26:53In those days, ale was considered to be much safer than water. Water was often very unhygienic.
26:58And finally, a draft of butlers. The original butlers were cup bearers.
27:04Butler goes back to Boutet in French for a bottle. And they were in charge of the wine cellars.
27:08And the draft referred to the sample of wine that the butler always had to take, just to check that
27:13it was always fine.
27:14It's probably the best part of the job.
27:16So, draft of butlers. That was a collective noun for them.
27:18But it just gives you so much insight, really, into the history of the times.
27:22But, yeah, some good modern ones coming our way as well.
27:25Indeed. I think it's great fun.
27:26Thank you. Great fun.

30:22Susie and Dr. Phil, what have you got? There is an eight there, actually. River rain. And river rain is
30:29a personal animal which lives on the banks or in the vicinity of a river.
30:32Very good. All right. So, 106. Well done, Paul, to Anne's 85 as we go into the final numbers game.

30:47little numbers. And they are 10, 5, 3, 8. And a large to 175. And your target, 590. 590.
31:29And? 590.
31:32And Paul? 590. Thank you, Anne. 875. 875, 600. Minus 10. Nice, simple one to finish. There we go. And
31:41Paul? 8 minus 5 plus 3 is 6. 6 times 100, take 10. Perfect. There we go. Well done. Well
31:47done indeed.
31:48Indeed. So, Paul and Anne, your final act in this final of series 74 is to put your finger on
31:57those buzzers. And somebody, one of you is going to crack the following conundrum.
32:06And Eben. And Eben?
32:07Oligarchy. Oligarchy. Wow. Let's see whether you're right. Thank you. I think Paul's conceded it. Let's see. Oligarchy. Oh, well
32:17done.
32:17Very well done. Very well done. Very well done. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You did very well. Just
32:27over, just over two seconds.
32:29Oh, little Alice will be proud of that. My word. That's fantastic. Anne Dibbon. 105 to Paul's 116. On the
32:36day, he just sort of pipped you, really.
32:37He was fantastic. But you did brilliantly well, then. It's been a pleasure having you, too. Not only are you
32:42a great player, you're a charming lady.
32:44It's been absolutely lovely being here. Everyone's been so fantastic. So, thank you very much for making me feel very
32:49welcome.
32:50Well, you come back and see us. Take this back to Alice, will you? And the kryptonite. Don't let her
32:53bite on it.
32:55Very hard.
32:57Why not?
32:57All right. Well done.
32:59Now then, Paul, what can we say other than you're a worthy champion? So, thank you very much. You're a
33:04great chap and a worthy winner.
33:06Worthy champ. Brilliant.
33:19And commiserations. You put up a great fight. You're a wonderful contestant right through.
33:24A charming lady. Back to Hazelmere with you and your little daughter, Alice.
33:27And you come and see us again. But you're taking not only our very best wishes, you're also taking a
33:34tablet.
33:34And as Dr. Phil would say, keep taking a tablet.
33:37My little daughter has actually smashed my tablet.
33:40So, it's very welcome.
33:41Now you've got a new one. So, that's the reason you came. You are a great champ.
33:46Well done. Well done. And Rachel's got something for you.
33:49Yeah, you've been consistently brilliant. So, along with the top-of-the-range computer, you also get this Richard Whiteley
33:54Memorial Trophy, which is the star of the show, as well as you.
33:57Beautiful.
33:58Fantastic work.
33:58Well done.
33:59Well done.
34:00Well done.
34:09So, it just remains for me to say thank you, of course, to Susie and Rachel, the best colleagues a
34:16guy could have.
