00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:33Now, every year there are some really big film releases at the cinema,
00:37particularly when the children are on their summer break,
00:40and this year has been no exception.
00:41For instance, Rachel, we've had Pete's Dragon,
00:45starring the Hollywood veteran actor, that wonderful Robert Redford,
00:49Roald Dahl's The BFG, directed by another Hollywood great,
00:54Steven Spielberg, Swallows and Amazons,
00:57those Swallows and Amazons' books.
01:00I think Arthur Ransom, was it, who wrote them?
01:02As a child, I loved those.
01:03Well, now there's a film.
01:04And Finding Dory, one of those great animations,
01:08a sequel to the 2003 hit Finding Nemo.
01:12And all these films are certainly great for the kids,
01:14but quite often the parents really rather like them too.
01:18And, in fact, sometimes it's the parents
01:20who drag the children off to see them.
01:23Is there a children's film that I like to watch time and time again?
01:28No.
01:29What about you?
01:30Are there any kids' films that you love?
01:32Oh, loads.
01:33I just saw there was a new one called The Secret Life of Pets.
01:36I'm not sure if it's one for you,
01:38because it's got pets with personalities,
01:40and Budgie gets out of his cage,
01:42and he puts the TV on a computer game or something.
01:45Oh, is that right?
01:45He puts the fan on, and he's like an action hero,
01:48you know, diving up and down under things.
01:50This is all animated, I guess, yeah?
01:52Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:53It's what the pets get up to when the owners go out.
01:56Lovely.
01:57I remember when my son was a little chap,
02:00a little chap of about seven, whatever it was,
02:02and we had E.T.
02:05Oh, yeah.
02:06As a video.
02:08He used to love it.
02:09He knew every word in the script,
02:10and he used to say, right,
02:12and he used to hunt around and then produce a box of Kleenex,
02:15sit down in front of it,
02:16put the Kleenex down the side,
02:17because he knew he would be crying at the end.
02:20It was so sweet.
02:22Now then, Rachel,
02:23we've got Jamie Washington back with us.
02:25We know all about Jamie.
02:26He's a student from Huddersfield,
02:28trained to be an English teacher,
02:29but the big thing is that he's got six wins under his belt,
02:33and here we are Monday afternoon,
02:35and we'll see whether by Wednesday
02:37you'll have become an OctoChamp.
02:39Well, good luck to you,
02:40but also great luck to Philip Hannon,
02:43a housing assistant from Edinburgh,
02:45loves his live music.
02:47Went to see Bruce Springsteen and Beverly Knight.
02:49That was during the summer, was it?
02:51That's right, yeah.
02:52Yeah?
02:53And Bruce Springsteen,
02:54I once met him.
02:55What a lovely, straightforward, down-to-earth guy.
02:58You saw him.
02:58Where was he playing?
03:00Hamden Park,
03:01the National Stadium in Glasgow.
03:03He works hard, doesn't he?
03:05He played for three hours at a time,
03:08and he didn't seem to be toiling at all.
03:09Fantastic.
03:10Now, your proudest moment, apparently,
03:12to this day,
03:13is winning Best Anchor Boy when you were seven.
03:16What is a Best Anchor Boy?
03:18Is it naval?
03:19Kind of the equivalent to the Cobb Scouts,
03:21but maybe with a slightly more religious emphasis.
03:24All those years ago?
03:26Yeah.
03:26You're still very proud of it,
03:28and why not?
03:28Why not?
03:29Big round of applause, then,
03:30for Philip and Jamie Washington.
03:32Good luck to you.
03:36Good luck, Philip.
03:37And over in the corner, of course,
03:39Susie, joined once again by Helen Fospero,
03:42TV and radio reporter, presenter,
03:45and a regular on this show, almost.
03:47And, well, becoming a regular.
03:49I hope you have me back again.
03:50I love coming in.
03:51Beats working for a living.
03:53You are certainly coming.
03:54You are certainly coming back again, young lady.
03:56Now then, Jamie,
03:58let's have a letters game from you, shall we?
04:00Hi, Rachel.
04:01Hi, Jamie.

05:05Eight.
05:06And eight, how about Philip?
05:08Eight as well.
05:10Broadest.

05:12Same word.
05:14Well done.
05:19Pretty good start.
05:20Eight apiece.
05:21And what have we got there?
05:22Helen, Susie?
05:22And we have broadest two.
05:24That's it.
05:24Anything else?
05:25Susie?
05:26Lovely set of letters, actually.
05:27Lots and lots of sevens there.
05:29Broadest the eight.
05:30May even be a nine.
05:31But it was a nice round.
05:33Very well done to get A2.
05:34All right.
05:34Very good.
05:35Eight apiece.
05:36And Philip, off you go.

06:43Thank you, Philip.
06:44Yeah, homies.
06:45Homies.
06:46Same one.
06:47Look at these two countdown players, oh man.
06:50What about Helen?
06:51There was an eight in there that we spotted, homilies.
06:54Homilies, very good.
06:56Homilies, yes.
06:57Susie, anything else?
06:58Discourses, no, that was our best for eight, Nick.
07:00Delivering a homily.
07:02Homily, yes.
07:03Well, either a tedious, moralising lecture, or simply a religious discourse intended for spiritual edification.
07:10That's the one.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Fourteen apiece, and it's Jamie's numbers game.
07:15Jamie?
07:16One large and five smart parties, Rachel.
07:18Thank you, Jamie.
07:18One from the top row, and five little-uns.
07:21And the first numbers game of the week is five, six, two, nine, ten, and the large one, twenty-five.
07:30And the target, one hundred and ninety-seven.
07:32One nine seven.
07:34One nine.
07:34One nine.
07:51One ten.

07:53One seven.
08:00One seven.
08:05Yes, Jamie.
08:071-9-7.
08:081-9-7. Philip?
08:091-9-7 as well.
08:11Jamie.
08:1225 minus 6, 19.
08:15Yep.
08:16Times 10.
08:17190.
08:18And add the 5 and the 2.
08:201-9-7, lovely.
08:21There we go.
08:22I've seen we.
08:23Happy?
08:24All right.
08:25So, 24 apiece.
08:2824 apiece.
08:30And we go into our first tea-time teaser, which is nail malt.
08:34And the clue.
08:35You might wear this garment if you have dandruff.
08:38You might wear this garment if you have dandruff.
08:56Welcome back.
08:57I left you with the clue.
08:59You might wear this garment if you have dandruff.
09:02And the answer is mantilla.
09:05Or mantilla, I would have thought.
09:07It's one of those things that girls wear on their heads when they go to church, isn't it?
09:10Yes.
09:10Lace or silk scarf that covers the head and shoulders.
09:13And how do you pronounce it?
09:14I think it can be either.
09:15I think it'd be like tortilla, mantilla, or mantilla, once it's naturalised in English.
09:20Oh, OK.
09:20Thank you very much indeed.
09:22Now, if you'd like to become a Countdown contestant, you can email countdown at channel4.com to request an application
09:30form.
09:30Or write to us at contestants' applications, countdown leads, LS3, 1, J, S.
09:39Now then, the score stands up to Jamie on 24, and Philip.
09:44Bravo, Philip, on 24 also.
09:46And it's your letters game now, Philip.
09:48Consonant, please, Rachel.
09:49Thank you, Philip.
09:50L.
09:52Consonant.
10:10And the clock starts now.
10:46Yes, Philip?
10:48I'll go for a seven.
10:50How about Jamie?
10:51I'll go for a seven as well.
10:52All right.
10:53Philip?
10:54Globals.
10:55And?
10:56Same right here.
10:58There we go.
10:59Any improvements?
11:01Helen, Susie?
11:03Global, fine in the singular, but not in the plural, I'm afraid.
11:06You can't stick an S on.
11:08So I have to disallow that.
11:10So there.
11:10Sorry, boys.
11:11What can we have?
11:12I was working on saleable, but I'm not 100% sure how to spell it, so I don't know whether
11:16that's a seven or an eight.
11:18Yes.
11:18Unfortunately, you need the double E, so sale and then able.
11:22Yeah.
11:22That is a one, then.
11:23It's the US spelling, which we're not allowed, that would have S-A-L-A-B-E-L-E, which
11:28leaves
11:28us with sable for five, because we went off down a slight rabbit hole with that one.
11:34Or even a sable hole.
11:35Yeah.
11:36All right.
11:3724 points apiece.
11:39And now, Jamie, it's your letters game.
11:41Let's have a consonant, please.
11:43Thank you, Jamie.
11:44T.
11:44And another.
11:47C.
11:48And another.
11:51Q.
11:52And a far.
11:55D.
11:56And a vowel.
11:57I.
11:58And another.
12:00A.
12:02And another.
12:04E.
12:05And a consonant.
12:07W.
12:09And a final consonant, please.
12:11And a final S.
12:13Countdown.
12:14And a cor.
12:16And a vowel.
12:44Well, Jamie?
12:45Seven.
12:46And Philip?
12:47Seven again.
12:48Right.
12:50Yes, Jamie?
12:51Wasted.
12:51With the eye.
12:54Yeah.
12:55Well done.
12:56Now, what's the corner got for us?
12:58Wasted.
12:59With an eye.
13:00Anything else?
13:01No, exactly that for us.
13:03Seven cadets, otherwise for six.
13:06All right, 31 apiece.
13:07And numbers for you, Philip?
13:09Can I have six more numbers, please?
13:10You can indeed.
13:11Thank you, Philip.
13:12Six little ones.
13:13And we'll see if this can break the deadlock.
13:15Right, these six smalls are ten, five, two, nine, another two, and four.
13:23And the target?
13:25254.
13:27254.
13:28254.
13:30254.

13:40274.
13:40274.
13:58Philip.
13:592-5-5, note written down.
14:02One away. How about Jamie?
14:032-5-4.
14:042-5-4. This might be the break. Go.

14:17And up 4.
14:17Lovely. 2-5-4. Well done.
14:19Well done. Well done.
14:24Well done indeed.
14:25So that's a break then.
14:2741 to Philip's 31.
14:29Jamie in the lead as we turn to Helen.
14:33And Helen, Rachel and I were chatting earlier about films.
14:36And I believe that you've got a little film-related story to tell us.
14:39I have got a little film-related story.
14:41And it's not really my story, but it's my great friend Aaron's story, who's godfather to my little boy.
14:47And he's the director on ITV's Breakfast Show and has been for many, many years.
14:52He was quite shocked to come in one morning in the early hours, as he does every day,
14:56and to find a Hollywood actress waiting for him in the gallery.
15:00It was Renée Zellweger, and she came in four or five mornings with him to shadow,
15:06because she's playing a TV producer in her new Bridget Jones, Bridget Jones' Baby.
15:11And I think Aaron got quite a kick out of the fact that he was with an actress,
15:15and she sat next to him and watched him direct the show
15:17and was trying to sort of make her role as a TV producer authentic as part of her research.
15:23And so one morning he joked and said, you know, perhaps I could play myself in the film.
15:28And she said, well, that's a fantastic idea.
15:31And so Aaron disappeared off for a couple of weeks to some film studios in London,
15:36and he plays himself in Bridget Jones' Baby.
15:39He's never done any acting before.
15:40And he said it was really wonderful arriving on set in the morning,
15:43and I think the other actors were quite surprised that Renée would sort of, you know,
15:46morning Aaron and saying hello and checking how he was.
15:49And then when he went in his trailer or whatever they call them on set,
15:52he sort of opened his film wardrobe, and it was full of Aaron clothes,
15:56because he was playing himself.
15:58And then went to the premiere and met all of the cast.
16:02And I just thought it was a really lovely story.
16:04Good story.
16:04She was really, really smashing, and I think it's nice when you watch these big Hollywood movie stars
16:09and you wonder what they're like in real life.
16:12And she was smashing, really down to earth.
16:14Worked the early morning hours and gave Aaron an opportunity of a life
16:19time, really.
16:19So, I thought it was a lovely story.
16:21Thank you, Helen.
16:22Very good.
16:28All right.
16:28So, 41 plays.
16:2931.
16:30Philip on 31.
16:31And now, Jamie, it's letter's time for you.
16:34Let's start with a consonant, please, Rachel.

17:46Yes, Matthew Boss, for example.
17:47Very good.
17:48Helen?
17:49Had pranked for a seven.
17:50I was an A away from paranoid.
17:53I thought that was quite a good one.
17:54We're always about that far away.
17:56There's one letter away from.
17:58Yes.
17:59Pranked.
18:00Pranked is there as well.
18:02If you prank, it's more, I have to say, an animal thing rather than a human thing, but
18:06it's of a springbok or other antelope to leap in the air with an arched back.
18:10Oh, that's a pronged.
18:11That is a pronged.
18:12That is too pronged.
18:14And prinked is there as well.
18:15So prinked, pranked, and pranked.

24:57um you could have stretched this a little bit further um to neuronal um which is similar it
25:05means relating to the neurons to um those transmitters um in your brain for example
25:10that's a shame we couldn't have put the s on that we can't put the s on that that's an
25:13adjective as well
25:14no bad luck very bad luck but we're covered with you now yes well that was our eight neuron well
25:21done
25:21well done indeed all right so 77 now to 60 as we turn to Susie and her wonderful origins of
25:30words Susie
25:31we're going to look back to the historical state of Prussia uh which was once uh an abundant source
25:37of imported goods um here in Britain and in those days um talking about two centuries ago it was known
25:44as Prus or spruce particularly spruce um we had spruce iron and spruce leather and they were thought of
25:53as being incredibly superior goods of the highest quality unlike sleazy goods which might possibly
25:58be related to silesia and fabrics that first came over from there but most desirable of all from
26:05Prussia was the spruce tree Prussia again being known as spruce and the spruce tree a tall straight
26:11conifer and it was used particularly for uh ships masts uh at sea but come the mid 1600s
26:18Prus and spruce became Prussia in English but the spruce tree kept its name and um it was cultivated in
26:25lots of other countries as well and so we had the Norway spruce for example which if you go back
26:30to
26:30the origins is slightly strange because it means Norway Prussia so etymologically speaking that's
26:35a little bit odd um but there's another meaning of spruce of course and that one is uh neat and
26:40trim
26:41and this is probably all connected to those superior Prussian goods uh the the spruce leather for
26:47example was used particularly for fine jerkins and waistcoats and so somebody who was wearing a spruce
26:53leather when looking spruce was said to be looking incredibly fine indeed but there are lots and lots
26:59of fabrics that we uh owe countries to for their names so damask taffeta denim uh from neem of course
27:07jean for jeans from genoa and the french were once very very fond of uh gloves from scandinavia and in
27:14french they called these gaunt gloves de suede uh of sweden of course we turn we tended to like them
27:20too we often copy the french and we didn't quite realize the geographical connection so suede which
27:25was french for sweden of course came over to us as suede and we lost all sense of sweden uh
27:30when we
27:31took it over um but yes prussia and sweden and lots and lots of other countries have given us lots
27:35of names for our fabrics ones we often use every day very good very good
27:44because you still use spruce spruce up yes clever so clever susie

32:42Well done.
32:46Well done.
32:48Well done, Philip.
32:4977 points.
32:50You played a blinder, actually.
32:52It only went slightly wrong at the end, didn't it?
32:54But you had him against, well, not against the ropes,
32:56but you certainly were meeting him point by point all the way through.
33:01So, Philip Hanlon, thank you very much indeed for coming.
33:03Take this goodie bag back to Edinburgh with you
33:06and take our best wishes, our good wishes, with you as well.
33:11You're a good player.
33:12Thank you for coming.
33:13We shall see you, young man, tomorrow.
33:15Now, seven wins.
33:18Tomorrow could be a big day.
33:19Yeah, last one.
33:21Well done.
33:21Well done.
33:22You've played incredibly well.
33:23And Helen will join us again tomorrow.
33:25I will indeed, if you'll have me back.
33:27And Susie too.
33:28Tell me this, because you left school, I think, up in Grimsby
33:32and went straight into newspaper reporting.
33:35And somebody told me that your first interview was actually with your dad.
33:38What was that all about?
33:40Well, I was actually still at school, but I knew I wanted to be a journalist,
33:42so I was about, I don't know, perhaps 15 at the time.
33:45Yeah.
33:45And I did a bit of ice skating locally.
33:47We have an ice rink in Grimsby.
33:49And my heroes in those days were Torval and Dean.
33:51And they visited the ice rink just after they won Olympic gold for Bolero.
33:56And Dad said to me, look, I've got an interview with them,
33:58and you can come along, but you have to promise to be quiet.
34:01You can just watch.
34:02And, you know, I was only a teenager.
34:03So, of course, I went along, a notebook in hand, and interviewed them.
34:07So that was the first interview in England?
34:09Great career of interviewing and reporting and so forth.
34:12That's very kind, she says, surprised.
34:15We shall see you tomorrow.
34:16We will.
34:16See you tomorrow.
34:17And Susie, too, of course.
34:18See you tomorrow.
34:18All right.
34:19So it could be a big day for Jamie tomorrow, then.
34:21Yeah, we're going to retire him no matter what.
34:22So he has to rest after that.
34:24Indeed.
34:25Last sprint.
34:26Exactly.
34:27All right.
34:27See you tomorrow.
34:28See you tomorrow.
