00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Gallup Down studio.
00:34Now, I don't know whether you saw that extraordinary story in the newspapers recently about a 72-year-old, same
00:40age as me, granny,
00:42who survived for nine days in the Arizona desert because she ran out of petrol, careless girl.
00:49She was travelling to see her family, ran out of petrol, and she was stranded with only her dog for
00:54nine days,
00:55and they existed really on sort of scratching around in the desert, drinking from pond water and eating desert plants.
01:03What a miserable existence.
01:04Eventually, they stumbled, Rachel, I can't barely bring myself to tell you how they got out of it.
01:09They stumbled across an elk carcass, and they dismembered it and turned the sort of body parts into a sign
01:17which read help,
01:18and a passing aircraft, who was clearly looking out for them, spotted it and radioed down and they were rescued.
01:26What a...
01:27You just can't make that stuff up, can you?
01:28It's amazing, isn't it?
01:30But it sort of happened to me, in a way, not that I ran out of petrol, but I did
01:36break down.
01:37I've got a little picture here of the elderly, Nick Hewer, in the desert.
01:43A little bit of sunburn on those cheeks.
01:46Very sunburned, in a jam.
01:47You will notice, because I know you're keen on cars, that the whole suspension of the front of that car
01:51has collapsed.
01:52And there I was, in the middle of the Mongolian steppe, and had to...
01:59It took me six hours to bang and crash my way back to the nearest civilization, to get it all
02:04welded up again.
02:06Frightening place, actually.
02:07A similar story, actually.
02:08I got a puncture when I was cycling around Richmond Park.
02:12That can be bad.
02:14I had an inner tube with me, so the men fixed it for me.
02:16It was fine.
02:17I survived.
02:18But I know how you feel.
02:19You feel very exposed.
02:21Yeah, I know.
02:22It was lucky there was a cafe next door as well, so...
02:25Go and have a coffee.
02:26Go and have a skinny latte.
02:28Now, who have we got with us?
02:29Andrew Fenton, our reigning champion, from Rusin, the Vale of Clamorgan, once lit down a 120-foot death slide in
02:36Florida.
02:37Now, why did you want to do that?
02:39I'm not the strongest swimmer in the world, and my other half and family sort of dared me to do
02:45it.
02:46And I have the bruises to prove that I did it as well.
02:49And did they do it?
02:49Yes, in fairness, they did as well.
02:51Yeah, Dad did it.
02:52My other half did it, so, you know, why not?
02:55Well, I can think of a thousand reasons why not.
02:58Andrew, you're joined by Stephen Wintle from Ashford in Kent, a keen Scrabble player playing in tournaments all around the
03:05country, a member of the Canterbury Scrabble Club, and also the Stafford one.
03:09That's right.
03:10Well, I'm very keen, yes.
03:13Well, I live in the South East, but my girlfriend lives in Stafford, and at the moment I'm, shall we
03:21say, between jobs.
03:22So I'm at leisure to go off and down the country.
03:26So you go to see your girlfriend in Stamford and spend your whole time playing Scrabble.
03:30She must love you.
03:31Oh, that's right.
03:31Brilliant.
03:32Let's have a big round of applause then, shall we, for Stephen and Andrew.
03:38And over in the corner are, of course, Susie and the wonderful John Cullshaw.
03:42Welcome back, John.
03:43Great to be here.
03:44Wonderful survival stories to start the show.
03:46I think if they make a movie out of your adventures by the side of that Renault van, maybe Geoffrey
03:50Rush could play you.
03:53And you'll produce it.
03:54All right.
03:55Now then, what should we do?
03:57Andrew, how about a letters game?
03:58Great.
03:59Hi, Rachel.
03:59Hi, Andrew.
04:00Continent, please, to start.
04:02Start with S.
04:03And another one, please.
04:06T.
04:07And consonant.

04:22Consonant.
04:24F.
04:25And a vowel, please.
04:27And lastly, O.
04:30And here's the countdown clock.
04:34Andrew, who's the one that is.
04:34And here's the countdown clock.
04:48So, you know, there's a moment.
05:02I'll see you next time.
05:02Andrew? Just a five. And Stephen? Five. No, sorry, not written down. Not written down? Tell us about it. Coups.
05:11C-O-U-P-S. Ah, yes, as in a, yeah, a coup. Andrew? Pouts for me. Yes. Pouts and
05:19coups. Absolutely fine. Five. And in the corner? Well, there were, um, there's a couple of eights in there, which,
05:25as soon as you found very quickly, captious and factious were two eights, uh, to be uncovered.
05:31Well done. Yes. Very good. Two eights. So, five all, and it's Stephen's, uh, Stephen Wintle's letters game. Uh, afternoon,
05:43Rachel. Afternoon, Stephen. Hello. Um, I'll have a consonant, please. Thank you. Start with N. And another? X. Um, another,

06:20one, N.
06:21Tantan.

06:51Tantan.
06:54Stephen?
06:55Just six.
06:56Andrew?
06:57And six for me, too.
06:58Yes, Stephen?
07:00Minted.
07:01Yes.
07:01Andrew?
07:02Lament.
07:03And lament.
07:04John?
07:05Uh, there was a couple of sevens over here. Um, ailment, there for seven. And if we swap the
07:11first two letters around, you get, uh, aliment, which is quite a nice one.
07:15It is, yes. It's an old, uh, word for food or nourishment.
07:18Anything else?
07:19That was it.
07:20That'll do. All right. 11 points apiece. And Andrew, numbers game?
07:24Uh, two from the top, please. And four from anywhere else?
07:26Thank you, Andrew.
07:27Too large for little to kick us off today. And these numbers are four, two, eight, one.
07:35And the large one's 25 and 100. And the target, 880.
07:408, 8, 0.
08:12Andrew?
08:138, 80.
08:15Yes, Stephen?
08:16Uh, too far away.
08:17Too far?
08:18Yeah.
08:19We're with you, Andrew.
08:20Um, four plus one, uh, is five times two is ten.
08:25Yep.
08:25Add that to the hundred for 110.
08:28110.
08:28Bye-bye.
08:29880. Lovely.
08:31Well done.
08:31Very good.
08:34Well, that gives you, uh, the lead.
08:36Ten-point lead.
08:3721 to 11 as we turn to our first Tea Time teaser, which is Dad Prone.
08:42And the clue.
08:43Dad was prone to belching, but he always did this afterwards.
08:46Dad was prone to belching, but he always did this afterwards.
09:05Welcome back.
09:06I left with a clue.
09:07Dad was prone to belching, but he always did this afterwards.
09:10What did he do?
09:12He used to say, uh, well, it's pardoned, actually.
09:15Pardoned.
09:1621, please.
09:1611.
09:17Stephen on 11.
09:17It's Stephen's letters game.
09:18Hi there.
09:20Um, I'll have a consonant, please.
09:22Thank you, Stephen.
09:23V.
09:25And another.

09:37Another vowel.
09:39U.
09:41Another vowel.

09:45Consonant.
09:47B.
09:50Another consonant.

09:53And a vowel, please.
09:55And a last one.
09:56E.
09:58Stand by.
10:00And a vowel.
10:20And a vowel.
10:20And a vowel.
10:20And a vowel.
10:20And a vowel.
10:20And a vowel.
10:20and a vowel.
10:21And a vowel.
10:31Stephen?
10:33Five, not written down.
10:36And...
10:37Five, also.
10:38And a five. So, Stephen?
10:40Badge.
10:41Andrew?
10:42And vague.
10:43Vague.
10:44Thank you, Andrew. Vague.
10:46Tough on this.
10:47It's a wee bit tricky.
10:48How did we get on?
10:49Well, we've got a six over here.
10:52Yeah.
10:53Budgie.
10:55Answers it?
10:56No, that was a single six that we could find, I'm afraid.
10:59Budgie.
11:00Budgie.
11:00Budgie. 26th place, 16.
11:03Andrew, letters game.
11:04Consonant, please, Rachel.
11:06Thank you, Andrew.
11:07P.
11:07And a vowel.
11:09O.
11:11Consonant.
11:12S.
11:14Vowel.

11:24Another consonant.
11:26Y.
11:28A vowel.
11:30U.
11:32And a consonant, please.
11:35And lastly, T.
11:37Stand by.
12:10Andrew?
12:11A C of six.
12:12A six, Stephen.
12:13And a six.
12:14Andrew?
12:15Sprout.
12:16And Stephen?
12:18Purity.
12:19Purity.
12:20Nice.
12:20Purity, something we're all striving for.
12:23And John?
12:25Sport, he was there for another six, but a rather good seven.
12:29A three-pronged seven.
12:32Tripods was there for seven points.
12:34Tripods.
12:35Yeah.
12:35Very good.
12:3732 to 22, still that ten-point difference in Andrew's favour,
12:41and it's Stephen's numbers game now.
12:43Stephen, cloy it back.
12:45I'll just have one from the top, please, and any five of you of choice.
12:50Thank you, Stephen.
12:50One large, five little ones.
12:53And this time around, the five small ones are five, four, ten, eight,
12:58and two, and the large one, 75, and the target, 652.
13:04Six, five, two.
13:05Six, six.
13:09Seven, eight, four, ten, ten.
13:37Stephen, 6.50.
13:406.52 away, Andrew.
13:426.52.
13:436.52.
13:44Now then.
13:458 times 75 is 600.
13:48Yep.
13:485 times 10 is 50.
13:50It is indeed.
13:51Add the two.
13:5252.
13:53Add them together.
13:536.52, lovely.
13:55Well done.
14:00Well done.
14:02Strong performance on the maths.
14:04Very good.
14:05And now we turn to John Culshaw.
14:07John, I believe that you're going to tell us something about something called Voice Neighbours.
14:13Yes, exactly.
14:14This is something that impersonators sometimes compare notes on.
14:18And it's where one character with a little tweak will merge into another.
14:25Quite different characters, but vocally closer than you might think.
14:28Some of my favourites.
14:31John Major, if you make him more aggressive, he goes into Michael Caine.
14:35That's quite nice.
14:37Obi-Wan Kenobi.
14:38The original Jedi Knight.
14:40If you sort of sprinkle in a bit of Liverpool, he sort of morphs into John Lennon like that.
14:45Russell Crowe.
14:46Of course, Maximus Decimus Meridius sprinkled in a bit of Lancashire.
14:49You get Les Dawson.
14:53And I think Boris Johnson thought about calm Boris Johnson down a little bit and make him a little bit
14:59less vancler.
15:00And it sort of settles into rather an interesting Ian Hislop, in my opinion.
15:06But my newly discovered voice neighbour, and this occurred to me just yesterday, if we take the wonderful epic style
15:16of Sir David Attenborough and make it a little bit more efficient, make it slightly quicker,
15:21and we get our wonderful Nick here.
15:23So, Nick, see you tomorrow.
15:24Stephen, see you tomorrow.
15:26Susie, Rachel, see you tomorrow.
15:28See you tomorrow.
15:29And make sure that we turn back into Sir David Attenborough in the nick of time.
15:36Thank you very much.
15:40Gosh.
15:42Having Attenborough as a neighbour, that's indeed an honour.
15:46Thank you very much, John.
15:48Brilliant as ever.
15:4942 to 22.
15:51Stephen on 22.
15:52And we turn to Andrew for a letters game.
15:54A consonant, please, Rachel.
15:56Thank you, Andrew.
15:58S.
15:59And another, please.
16:01H.
16:02And another.
16:05N.
16:06And a vowel.
16:08E.
16:09And another vowel.
16:11I.
16:12And a consonant.
16:14S.
16:15And a consonant.
16:18T.
16:19Vowel.
16:21O.
16:23And we'll finish with another vowel, please.
16:25And finish with E.
16:28Stand by.
16:59Andrew Fenton.
17:00Just a six.
17:02A six, Stephen.
17:03A seven.
17:04Right.
17:05Andrew?
17:06Shines.
17:07Now, Stephen.
17:09Essions.
17:11E.
17:11E.
17:11T.
17:11H.
17:11I.
17:12O.
17:12N.
17:12S.
17:13Yes.
17:13Yes.
17:13It's not there, I'm afraid.
17:14I'm sorry.
17:16Right.
17:16What have we got in that corner?
17:18Well, we were hunting around, trying to find something, and then on about the 29th second,
17:24Susie came through with a nine.
17:27Yes.
17:29Yes, a nine.
17:30It was really just on the wild, that, wasn't it?
17:32Bear with me, because I know what you'll be thinking the moment I say it.
17:34We have honesties.
17:37Honesties.
17:38Not to do with the quality of being honest, because that would be a mass noun, but it's
17:42also a European plant with purple or white flowers, so I think you could have honesties
17:47in the plural in that plant sense.
17:50Well, absolutely.
17:51Honesties.
17:56A legion of honesties.
17:59Yes.
17:59Yes?
18:00A field of honesties.
18:01Yes.
18:01Thank you very much.
18:0248 to 22.
18:04Stephen, let us get.
18:06Consonant, please.
18:08Thank you, Stephen.
18:09W.
18:10And another.
18:12R.
18:14And another.
18:16D.
18:18And another.
18:21L.
18:21And a vowel, please.
18:24A.
18:25Another.
18:27I.
18:28And another, please.
18:31A.
18:33Consonant.
18:35S.
18:38And another vowel, please.
18:40And lastly, I.
18:43Countdown.
18:44Say.
18:46The.
18:56One.
18:57The.
18:59The.
19:00This.
19:00And another.
19:13One.
19:15Stephen?
19:16Eight.
19:17An eight.
19:18Andrew?
19:20Six.
19:21You're six?
19:22Radial.
19:23Now then, Stephen.
19:24We're ruled as W-I-R-I-L-D-A-S.
19:30Let's see what Susie says.
19:31It's not in the dictionary, unfortunately.
19:37Are you going to tell us what you think it was?
19:39I have absolutely no idea.
19:41You are a gambler, brother.
19:42All right.
19:43And John and Susie?
19:44Some of them just sound right, even if they're not there.
19:47Yeah, it is a tree.
19:48It's the acacia tree.
19:50But I think, too, probably a little bit too obscure for the current dictionary.
19:55Of course, in which case, I apologise.
19:57Well done, Stephen.
19:57Bad luck.
19:58Now then.
19:59There was a seven there.
20:01Yes.
20:01And radials.
20:04I wasn't sure.
20:06Yeah, radials.
20:07And radial tyres.
20:08Don't mix your tyres.
20:10Fifty-four, please.
20:10Twenty-two.
20:11And now, Andrew, it's your numbers game.
20:13Two from the top, please, and four from anywhere else.
20:15Thank you, Andrew.
20:16Two large, four little coming up.
20:18And for this numbers round, the little ones are one, five, two, and three.
20:24And the large ones are fifty and twenty-five.
20:27And the target, seven hundred and fifty-seven.
20:30Seven, five, seven.
20:32Yep, I matter.
20:53Bye.
20:56Bye.
20:56Bye.
20:58Bye.
21:01Yes, Andrew?
21:027, 5, 4.
21:047, 5, 4.
21:05Stephen?
21:067, 50.
21:087, 50.
21:09So we'll stick with Andrew.
21:11I hope.
21:1325 minus 5 times 2.
21:1525 minus 5.
21:17Yeah, 5 times 5 minus 10.
21:18Minus 5 times 2 for the 10 for 15.
21:20Times 50.
21:21Times 50 for 750.
21:23And add the 3 and the 1.
21:25And then 3 and the 1.
21:26Well done indeed.
21:27But now, at last, we turn to Rachel to show us how these things are done.
21:32Rachel?
21:33Yeah, my first chance this week.
21:34You could have said 50 times 3 is 150.
21:39Add 1, 151.
21:41Times it by 5, 4, 7, 5, 5.
21:44And add the 2, 757.
21:46There you go.
21:48There you go.
21:50Earning her corn.
21:52As we turn to our first, our second indeed, Tea Time Teaser,
21:56which is Bert's look.
21:57And the clue.
21:58It sounds like Bert took something small to read by the river.
22:01It sounds like Bert took something small to read by the river.
22:19Welcome back, welcome back.
22:21I left you with a clue.
22:22It sounds like Bert took something small to read by the river.
22:26He took a...
22:28Brooklet.
22:29A little Brooklet.
22:31There we go.
22:32Andrew in the lead and it's Stephen's letters game.
22:34Stephen.

22:56Consonant.
22:58V.
22:59And another.
23:02R.

23:06And lastly, you.
23:09Stand by.
23:10For now.

23:52Any more Volta's?
23:53Yes.
23:54Well, yes, yeah, we did find that one.
23:56A couple more sevens, though.
23:58Tearful and refutal.

24:51Come on.
25:19MUSIC CONTINUES
25:21Andrew?
25:22Monus.
25:23Monus.
25:24Monus, absolutely fine.
25:26Mmm.
25:26Yes.
25:27And in the corner, a rather nice eight.
25:31Ransomed was there for a good eight.
25:33Maroons.
25:34Yes.
25:35Yes.
25:36Radomes.
25:37Oh, yeah.
25:37That was rather nice.
25:39Yep, that's F for seven.
25:40Thank you indeed.
25:4175 plays Stephens, 29, as we turn to Susie and her origins of words.
25:47Susie.
25:48Well, I was talking yesterday about the origin of the word etiquette.
25:53Today, of course, a code of behaviour.
25:55But originally, as an etiquette, it was a written order that was publicly posted, usually assigning a soldier to his
26:02billet, but also any public notification.
26:06And I also mentioned that ticket comes directly from that.
26:09And many people think that the phrase, that's the ticket, slightly old-fashioned now, but meaning, oh, that's, you know,
26:16that's just what I want.
26:16That's great.
26:17And many people think that comes from c'est l'étiquette in French.
26:22But actually, it's probably not from them, as sort of nice and easy as that would be.
26:28It goes back to the idea, simply, that a ticket was a guarantee of some kind of benefit.
26:34So we'll still talk today about a ticket to success.
26:37And that idea goes all the way back to the 1600s, so it's very, very old.
26:41But there's one other thing, one other expression, really, in English, which people usually think goes back to a ticket,
26:48and that is posh, the origin of posh, because many people believe that it all began on steam liners that
26:56took off to various exotic destinations.
26:59And it was said that on certain journeys, the word or the abbreviation posh, was an acronym, really, would be
27:07written on the tickets of the passengers with the idea that it stood for port out, starboard home, so that
27:13the sea breeze and the shade would be there on the port side, thus sheltering the passengers and giving them
27:20the easiest, most comfortable ride.
27:22Of course, those would be at premium price, so available only to the wealthy passengers.
27:26It's a very, very famous story. No ticket has ever been found with posh stamped on it.
27:31It's very unlikely to be true, and it probably goes back to a posh, meaning money.
27:37It was a halfpenny, and gradually it was transferred over to money in general, and then simply to wealthy people.
27:43Lovely story as it is. It's probably got nothing to do with tickets.
27:46Well done.
27:53Seventy-five plays, twenty-nine, and Stephen, we're with you. Penultimate letters game.
27:59Consonant, please.
28:00Thank you, Stephen.
28:01K.
28:02And another.
28:04R.
28:05And another.

28:15And another.
28:18E.
28:19Consonant.
28:21G.
28:22And another.
28:24And another.
28:27And another consonant, please.
28:30And lastly, N.
28:32Stand by.
29:03Stephen?
29:05Seven.
29:05A seven.
29:06Andrew?
29:07A very optimistic nine.
29:10All right, you're in a position to do this.
29:12Stephen?
29:14Harking.
29:15Harking.
29:15Now then, Mr Fenton?
29:18Harkering.
29:19Oh, I thought we were going to say reharking there.
29:21I thought that as well.
29:23Reharking not in and noise harkering, I'm afraid.
29:26Sorry.
29:26Worth a go.
29:27No damage done.
29:28No damage done.
29:30And in the corner, John, there's a rather lovely eight in there,
29:33which is one of your favourite words.
29:35It's one of my favourite, because it absolutely describes me
29:37when I haven't eaten.
29:39It's a very new addition to the dictionary.
29:41To be hangry is to be bad-tempered as a result of hunger,
29:44and you can be hangrier than the next person,
29:46which would be me most of the time.
29:48I feel really hangry.
29:49Yes.
29:50All right, 75 plays, 36, and Andrew, let us go.
29:55Continent, please.
29:55Thank you, Andrew.

30:28CANTUM.
30:29CANTUM.
30:30CANTUM.
30:36CANTUM.
30:59Andrew.
31:01Safe eight.
31:03Eight. Stephen?
31:04Eight. Not written down.
31:07So? Agnostic.
31:09Agnostic. And Andrew?
31:11Coasting.
31:12And coasting.
31:13Excellent, both.
31:14Very good.
31:15Well done.
31:18And John and Susie?
31:20Yeah, there was one more on a similar line. Another eight. Coatings.
31:24Yep.
31:25Was there for another eight. So agnostic, coasting, coatings.
31:29And Susie, anything else?
31:30Those three eights for us.
31:32That's quite enough. All right, well done.
31:33So 83, please. 44 as we turn to the final numbers game. Stephen?
31:38One from the top, please. And any others?
31:41Thank you, Stephen. One big one. Five little ones for the final numbers game of the day.
31:46And these ones are 7, 6, 1, 2, 10. And the big one, 75. And the target, 300.
31:56300.
31:57That's 1, 2, 10. And the target, 300.
32:28Well, Stephen?
32:29Yeah, I did manage this.
32:31One, 300.
32:32Well done.
32:33And Andrew, I'm sure.
32:34300.
32:35Stephen?
32:37Six minus two is four.
32:38Yeah.
32:39And four times 75 is 300.
32:42There we go.
32:43Andrew, shall we bother you?
32:45Same way.
32:46All right.
32:46We believe you.
32:47We believe you.
32:48So 93 plays 54 as we go into the final round.
32:51So fingers on buzzers.
32:52We're about to roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:26Well, we're stumped and stymied up here.
33:29But who in the audience, this brave audience?
33:31Yes, sir?
33:32Is it face cloth?
33:33Face cloth.
33:34Let's see whether you're right.
33:37Face cloth.
33:39Well done.
33:42Well done.
33:44Stephen, bad luck.
33:45Bit of a witness on the numbers and a few slight obscure ones.
33:49People at home think it's easy.
33:51It's not easy when you're in the studio with that big clock and those lights.
33:54But you did very well.
33:55Thanks for coming.
33:56And we shall see you, Andrew, tomorrow.
33:58Great.
33:59Look forward to it.
34:00All right.
34:01John and Susie, we look forward to seeing you both tomorrow.
34:05More great voices from John Cultrall, of course.
34:09We'll see you tomorrow.
34:10Good morning, thank you.
34:10Brilliant stuff.
34:11And Rachel, too, of course.
34:12I'm picturing David Attenborough over there now.
34:14God, I mean, I think he's wonderful.
34:16He would be horrified to be compared.
34:19No, no, I can really hear it.
34:21I can't hear you anymore.
34:22It's just due to you.
34:22You can only see him.
34:24All right.
34:24We'll see you tomorrow.
34:26Same time, same place.
34:27You be sure of it.
34:28A very good afternoon to you.
