00:33Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:36I hope you all had a very pleasant weekend.
00:37Perhaps reminiscing, throwing your mind back to that great day 50 years ago when England won the World Cup way
00:44back in 1966.
00:45But fast forward just four years to 1970 because on that day in Wellingarden City, another bit of footballing history
00:54was made.
00:55A baby was born, a special baby. Many babies were born, but this one was special.
01:01Went on to play football for England. Over 900,000 career appearances. 26 years of career.
01:09Cap for England 53 times.
01:12Oh, yes. Former England goalkeeper, David James, MBE, is 46 today.
01:19And where's he celebrating? He's celebrating here in the Countdown Studio.
01:23Happy birthday to you.
01:26Happy birthday, David.
01:31Brilliant stuff.
01:32I think the 900,000 was slightly over-egging it.
01:36I think I meant to say 900. In fact, it was over 1,000, wasn't it?
01:41Over 1,000. All right.
01:43So, birthdays. I sort of don't bother with them, really.
01:46But I did on my 70th, and I took the grandchildren off to South Africa as a special treat, not
01:53just for them, but for me, too, on safari.
01:55That was a very special and unusual birthday for me because I normally keep things really quiet.
02:01What about you, Rachel?
02:02Have you found yourself under a strange sky on your birthday?
02:07Well, my 30th, I spent with a Viking beard and Viking horns on, on the top of a mountain in
02:12Lake Tahoe.
02:13Of course you did.
02:14Of course I did. Yes, it was a good disguise.
02:16Very good.
02:18But, Rachel, we've got with us now, again, Chris Leaney, son of Glyn, runner-up back in 1999.
02:24He was the winner of the first teapot.
02:27Yeah.
02:27It's quite a valuable thing, you know.
02:29Yeah, it doesn't get used at all. It's very much a cabinet item.
02:32I should hope so. I should hope so.
02:34Anyway, from Chalgrove in Oxfordshire, an economic student at Bath, and you're a cricketer, and, yeah, you had a good
02:42win against a terrific competitor, actually.
02:45But, so, we're pleased to see you here.
02:46You're joined by Stephen Bloom, a PE teacher from Amersham, who loves his football, and you've climbed Kilimanjaro.
02:54How long did that take?
02:55Five days.
02:56Did it really?
02:57Yeah. Not 24 times five days, but over the course of five days.
03:02Yeah.
03:02It was a fantastic experience.
03:05How high is it? Can you remember?
03:07It's over 19,000 feet, and I think just over 6,000 metres.
03:11Really? All right, well done.
03:13Now, interestingly, your father, Paul, your dad, competed in the last series of Countdown.
03:19He did, yeah.
03:19And he's in the audience?
03:20He certainly is.
03:21Fantastic.
03:21How did he do?
03:22No, he did well, but I'll hope to go one better.
03:25He's got his eye on you.
03:26I bet he has.
03:27All right.
03:27Big round of applause for Stephen and Chris.
03:33And over in the corner, of course, Susie and our birthday boy.
03:37We shall be talking to you a little bit later on, David, but now it's down to business.

07:01Any of a number of long, slender fish with beak-like jaws and sharply pointed teeth.
07:07And, yeah, another word for them is a Gardie, so you can have Gardies for seven.
07:11Yeah.

13:48So, same difference.
13:5046, there's 33.
13:51As we turn to David James.
13:54And David, you've got a story from the FA Cup final in 1996 to tell us.
14:03Yes.
14:04As I've mentioned before on the show, the FA Cup holds a special place in my heart.
14:0996 was my first cup final.
14:12And tradition then was to do the songs, which I didn't take part in for one reason or another.
14:18And the other tradition, obviously, was the cup final suit.
14:21And I'd been very fortunate to be a model for a very famous Italian fashion designer.
14:32And the lad said to me, well, Dave, can you get a suit?
14:35I'm like, well, I can ask them, but, you know, whatever.
14:40They asked this designer and they said you can have it, but at a price.
14:45So, I thought the lads wouldn't be interested.
14:46They'd rather have their one for free.
14:48But, no, they were quite happy to pay an extra bit of money for a special suit.
14:54Part of the sort of debating party, if you like, on what this suit was going to look like was
14:59certain John Barnes.
15:00And for those who followed John Barnes' fashion sense in the 90s, that was dangerous.
15:06Anyway, John got everything sorted out and then the day of fitting arrived and we had these cream suits.
15:16We looked very dapper, if not a little bit odd, according to others.
15:21And, yeah, we went to the cup final, we lost.
15:24We looked like the band before the cup final.
15:28And forever will be associated as the FA Cup final suit year sort of thing.
15:36Fortunately, the cream suit doubled up for cricket clothes for travelling Bunbury's one year.
15:44So, yeah, it wasn't thrown away.
15:46And, yeah, I mean, the funny thing is, because we lost, we looked, apparently, we looked foolish.
15:54That might have been the performance, actually, because that wasn't much better.
15:56But, had we won...
15:57Do you remember the score way back in 96?
15:59Yeah, 1-0, 87 and certain Mr. Canton...
16:02I can't remember his name, I can't remember.
16:05What happened to him?
16:07I think you remember, yes.
16:08I think I remember.
16:09Yeah, had we won, we would have been the best-dressed team to ever win the cup final.
16:13There we are.
16:14Yes.
16:14All right, well done, David, well done.
16:20Green suits indeed.

25:14i'm just going to return very briefly to one of your favorite facts uh nick i think which is that
25:19uh the rostrum the speaker's platform in the roman uh forum is from the latin for uh beak uh because
25:26um it the the beaks or prows of ships were collected as trophies uh at war uh by the uh
25:33the roman sailors
25:34the roman soldiers and they would collect these beaks and then uh decorate the speaker's platform
25:38in the forum with these beaks as uh uh tributes really or pledges to their to their pride and
25:44their glory and over time the uh the rostrum this word for beak was applied not just to these prows
25:50decorating the platform but to the platform itself and we still have uh the rostrum uh today and that
25:56goes back to um a latin word uh rodere uh ultimately to bite or to gnaw uh the idea of
26:03a beak
26:03before it was applied to a ship and it's given us rodent uh as well so there's sort of slightly
26:08strange neighbor a rostrum and a rodent uh but i had an email from one viewer martin hicks who asked
26:14whether rostrum is linked to a roster uh which is a list of duties uh particularly given to military
26:20personnel and that one has a slightly strange history too but it's not the same one
26:24because in holland uh the list of duties for men uh in the army uh was written down on ruled
26:30paper
26:30no surprise there but the lines for them resembled a gridiron they thought of a gridiron
26:35whenever they saw this sort of lined paper with all the duties listed on it and the dutch name for
26:40a gridiron was a rooster from their word roosten to roast and of course that eventually gave us
26:46roster and it's slightly tied in um it's a little bit tangential here but i had another email from
26:52uh john carnarvon who wondered where sledging in cricket uh comes from and the link there
26:59doesn't say slightly tenuous is that when we ridicule or criticize somebody we give them a
27:03roasting just as cricketers would give each other a sledging and the idea is simply to do with the
27:09lack of subtlety and crudity involved in wielding a sledgehammer uh that's where that one comes from
27:14cricket so we've gone to the roster to the roster to a sledgehammer slightly secure to three but
27:20hopefully it's answered some of our viewers questions
27:22all of mine well done

33:09Amazing.
33:10But let's talk to Chris.
33:12Chris Leeney, our bad luck, Mick.
33:14Because you toppled somebody who was a very high scorer.
33:17And along comes Stephen Bloom.
33:19But you go home.
33:20Your dad might have had the first teapot way back in 1999.
33:25But you've got one to join.
33:27I do, indeed.
33:28To join his.
33:29And take this goodie bag back to Bath with your teapot.
33:32All right.
33:32Well done.
33:33Now, Stephen.
33:34Tremendous performance there.
33:35So we shall see you tomorrow.
33:38Yeah.
33:38Fantastic.
33:39And dad's in the audience.
33:40Yeah.
33:41Went more better than him.
33:42Is that right?
33:43That's it.
33:43Wow.
33:44That's the way to do it.
33:45That's the way to do it.
33:45Didn't like to say anything, but.
33:47All right.
33:47And over in the corner.
33:48David, it's been a pleasure.
33:51Unfortunately, I didn't get a nine-letter word today.
33:53I didn't even get the conundrum.
33:54So I'm going to have to go home and do some homework.
33:56But there's always, you know, the next time you come, and I hope that you'll come soon
34:01again.
34:02It's been a real pleasure having you here.
34:03Great story.

34:08Yes.
34:08And Rachel, too.
34:09See you tomorrow?
34:10I just, I love that story about the white suits.
34:12It's brought back so many memories.
34:13They were cream.
34:15Cream, and my apologies.
34:16White would have been ridiculous.
34:19All right.
34:20We'll see you tomorrow.
