00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34It's the start of August and the holiday season is underway.
00:37In fact, the great getaway is underway.
00:40The kids are well into their school break and families are jetting off to different parts of the world.
00:46Yes, it's holiday time and how I love that.
00:50I began to think, Rachel, where have I been that I would love to recommend to people?
00:55And I once drove through a desert and a desert is a very special place.
00:59It's quiet. It's silent. It's a very spiritual place, actually.
01:03It was vast, empty and untidy.
01:06And you'd recommend that to somebody?
01:07Yes, it was the silence that got me. I loved it. I thought it was a great place.
01:11What about you, Rachel?
01:12Where have you been that you'd recommend and where have you not yet been?
01:15This year I went somewhere amazing in Brazil, in the Pantanal, the biggest wetlands in the world.
01:20Yes.
01:20And it's like nowhere on earth. It was absolutely incredible.
01:23The bird life, the toucans and the parrots and jaguar and giant anteaters.
01:28It's just nowhere like it. It was just brilliant.
01:30Lucky you. Excellent stuff.
01:32Now, Rachel, who have we got?
01:33We've got Stephen Bloom. He's back.
01:35PE teacher from Amersham.
01:36Won his first game yesterday.
01:38Terrific score.
01:38115 points.
01:40Looking out for a similar outcome today.
01:43And has Dad turned up again?
01:45He has, yep.
01:46Excellent stuff.
01:47Excellent. Well done. He must be very proud of you.
01:49Now then, you're joined by Andrew McGill, a press officer from Lewisham who loves playing board games.
01:55And apparently you hired a cinema and packed it with your pals and proposed to Laura, your wife.
02:03That's correct, yes.
02:04Who was then your fiancé.
02:06Indeed.
02:06So, for six months I'd been gathering photographs of our friends and family holding up signs saying, say yes.
02:15And I managed to hire a small cinema for her birthday.
02:20She thought it was a birthday treat.
02:23But in the event, I was able to play a two-minute film of all our friends holding up the
02:28signs.
02:28What a sweet idea.
02:30Big round of applause for Andrew and Stephen.
02:33APPLAUSE
02:35Hi, Andrew and Stephen. Well done.
02:37What a lovely idea.
02:39Clever idea.
02:40We're joined, of course, by the wonderful Susie Dent, but also one of the stalwarts of this great show,
02:47who's been here more times than you could wave a stick at,
02:50the great Giles Brandreth, author, broadcaster, entertainer, actor, after-dinner speaker,
02:56former MP and government whip, and an all-round good guy.
02:59Welcome back.
03:00It's good to be here.
03:02Excellent stuff.
03:02Thank you very much indeed.
03:03All right, well, we'll talk more to you shortly, Giles.
03:07Lots to talk to you about, but now we've got to get down to business with Stephen Bloom.
03:10Stephen.

04:37You need the E in the middle as well,
04:40and E in the middle, I'm afraid.
04:43Bad luck.
04:44Now then, Giles and Susie, what have you got?
04:46Smile, we saw it once.
04:48Would we allow outsmile?
04:50I want to outsmile you, but it might have a hyphen.
04:54It probably did once upon a time, but it no longer does.
04:57Yes!
04:57To pass somebody in smiling or to smile more than somebody is,
05:00outsmile them.
05:01Yes, that's an eight.
05:01Yeah, I'm outsmiling you because I've got eight.
05:04Yay!
05:06Outrageous.
05:07Well, thank you, Giles.
05:08All right, well done.
05:09Now then, six to Stephen.

06:31Can the corner do better?
06:32Well, I think we can do better.
06:34Those are both two very varied words.
06:36I came up with twain as a five-letter word.
06:38Yeah.
06:39And then I thought, well, never the twain shall meet.
06:41So, if never the twain shall meet, there can be two twains.
06:43Um, at a push.
06:45At a push!
06:46At a push!
06:47At a push!
06:47We should probably have that.
06:48We're back.
06:49We're back.
06:50At a push!
06:51It is a number, after all, and you can pluralise numbers.
06:53You can pluralise numbers.
06:54Thank you very much.
06:55Six points.

08:01And then six and one and one is eight.
08:04And take it away.
08:05Perfect.
08:05One, six, seven.
08:07I said 25 plus one is 26.
08:1126.
08:11Times six.

08:19The other one.
08:20Perfect.
08:20One, six, eight.
08:20Yeah, well done.
08:21Well done.

08:24Stephen on 21 and Andrew 15 as we go into our first T-Time teaser,
08:29which is red noses.
08:31And the clue, it sounds like he approves of those bringing up the rare.
08:35It sounds like he approves of those bringing up the rare.
08:53And the answer is endorses, endorses.

10:33points? You certainly have. And am I still doing better than the young people who are taking part? This is
10:38known as mature power. Well done. Very good. And Susie? I'm still looking for an eight, because I think there
10:45might be an eight there, but mustard was another option there for seven. Oh, I like that. So we had

14:02Well done. Thank you very much indeed. So 43 plays 31 Stephen still in the lead as we turn to
14:09Giles now then Giles
14:11What have you got for us today?
14:13Well, I've had a fun we mentioned earlier on where we've been on holiday and you boasted about going to
14:18Brazil and and I go to Broadstairs and I love going to Broadstairs because I went there as a child
14:24and if I can't get to the Isle of
14:25White because I feel a bit queasy on the ferry I will stick to Broadstairs and Kent wonderful holiday resort
14:31with great
14:32If you're a word enthusiast great word
14:36Connections because Charles Dickens the great Victorian writer used to go regularly to Broadstairs for his holidays
14:42Indeed you will find if you look around Broadstairs eventually you'll come across the building on which there is a
14:48plaque that says Charles Dickens did not stay here
14:51Because he stayed almost everywhere there and Charles Dickens wrote books in Broadstairs and also I think is one of
14:59the writers who is credited
15:00Possibly after Shakespeare with giving our language more words than almost anybody else am I right Susie just about certainly
15:07I think I researched this for one of my books
15:10258 words including
15:13Butterfingers
15:13Which I think is rather nice. He came up with butterfingers in the pickwick papers also the creeps is a
15:19word coined by
15:21Charles Dickens other ones that I thought would have existed before him, but didn't apparently boredom
15:25Boredom cheesiness fluffiness flummox fairy story and egg box all invented given to our language by Charles Dickens
15:34And people do invent words and my most recent discovery and this is what has excited me is that the
15:40word nerd
15:40Was invented in 1954 by dr. Zeus dr. Zeuss the American children's writer
15:46He wrote a story about a character called nerd and this character had certain characteristics and the word nerd is
15:53now associated with nerd from this story
15:55So nerd nerdishness invented in 1954 and it's gone global
16:00Very good. Now tell me about this wordplay
16:02Yes, it's a collection basically of all the things I've learned and loved about words and language
16:07I'm I'm a bit of a language obsessive because language is the one thing that makes us unique
16:13As the philosopher Bertrand Russell once said no matter how eloquently a dog may bark
16:19He cannot tell you that his parents were poor but honest
16:23Only words can do that very good. Oh well done
16:32On cracking form as ever well done. Thank you

24:42Stephen, seven. Andrew? Yes, seven. Stephen? Plunges. And? I'll go for pulsing. Pulsing.
24:53Very good. Can we get seven or above? Subline. Subline, not sublime. Yeah, subline. Does it exist?
25:02What does it mean? Yeah, it's a subdivision of a line of ancestry, so it can be used in genealogy,
25:08but more often genetics, and it's about cells and organisms. Subline. Very good. 74, please. 60.
25:14And now we turn to Susie. Oh, Susie. What have you got for us today? Well, do you remember the
25:22other day
25:22I was talking about how you can decode lots of different words in English if you just know one
25:26root, and very often that root will be Greek or Latin, and I talked about versus, meaning to turn
25:33towards, and that was behind so many words in English. Well, I was going to look briefly today
25:38at tortoise, which in Latin, this is T-O-R-T-U-S, means twisted. And again, that is behind
25:45so many
25:46everyday English words. It's behind torture, perhaps not so everyday, but that looks back
25:50to the Spanish Inquisition in particular, when victims were twisted and stretched on a rack.
25:57And tortoise, meaning twisted, gave us that very word torture today, whether it's mental
26:03or physical. We talk about a tortuous road. That means it's twisting and winding or a tortuous
26:09argument, one that's not at all straightforward. Tortuous plot is another one. A blackmailer
26:14might extort money from their victim. In other words, they rest or twist it from them in, you
26:22know, either figuratively or physically, again, and in a very aggressive way. A face might be
26:27distorted if it's twisted or contorted. That's another one where your face is sort of twisted
26:33into lots of different expressions, almost twisted upon itself. And a retort is a remark that is almost
26:40twisted back on itself. So it's a response to somebody. But a retort is more often than not
26:46something that's not very pleasant or not particularly polite. And again, it's that idea of sort of being
26:52twisted back. It's not actually behind a tortoise, sadly. I was hoping that a tortoise, because it
26:58sort of moves along in a twisting way, might be there. But that's a different route, as does
27:01tortilla and tort. They all go back to a different word meaning cake. But yes, just take that one word,
27:07and already, particularly for kids, it's a lovely way of showing them that actually you can just unpack
27:11so many meanings along the way. Fantastic.
27:18Thank you, Susan. Very good. 74 to 60. Stephen's still in the lead. And Andrew.
