00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio on the very day that way back in 1927 cinematic history was
00:38made.
00:38It was The Jazz Singer, a great film starring the legendary Al Jolson, opened back in 1927 on this day.
00:46And of course, it was the first not silent film, the first not silent movie, as they were called, of
00:54course, in those days, because it was the first full length film to feature the voices of the actors.
00:58It was the first talkie at the movies. It was extraordinary. And what sort of films do I like?
01:05I gravitate inevitably towards thrillers and spy things like that. And frankly, anything, anything at all with Mark Rylance in
01:13it.
01:13I love that guy. That voice of his is extraordinary. What sort of films do you like?
01:18I think my favourite is probably Gangster. Yeah? Yeah, The Departed is one of my favourite films and Goodfellas and
01:23that kind of mafioso stuff.
01:26Excellent. Quite fun.
01:27All right. Now, who have we got with us, Rachel? Jamie Smith is back. Jamie, as we know, has got
01:32two good wins under his belt.
01:34He's from Ipswich, runs his own outside catering business and had a good win last time out. How are you
01:40feeling now?
01:41I feel great. Great shirt. Thank you very much. All right. Now, you're joined, Jamie, by Anna Hepburn-Job, a
01:48catering sales administrator from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, loves Australian soap opera, Neighbours, I think it's called.
01:56It is, yeah. He once made a bacon sandwich with Albert Rue, the master chef, or for him.
02:03Um, with him. With him? Yep. You know that Jamie's got an outside catering company. Do you know that?
02:08I do, yes. There could be a job lurking there. You're from Newcastle. He's in Ipswich.
02:12A bit far. You never know. Let's have a big round of applause then for Jamie and Anna.
02:23And over in the corner, we've got, um, Susie, of course, joined for the first time by Kate Williams, historian,
02:30author, TV presenter,
02:31professor of history at the University of Reading, a prodigious talent who never stopped working.
02:37You're very welcome. Thank you so much, Nick. Very welcome. Thank you. All right.
02:41Now then, Jamie, let's have our letters game, shall we?

06:06Great.
06:06A marmoset.
06:07Now, what else have we got?
06:09Kate and Susie?
06:11Maestro, but nothing to beat marmoset.
06:13No.
06:14Maestro's nice for seven.
06:15Stammer also there for seven.
06:16But marmoset is the tops.
06:18Very good.

07:47which is icon jabs.
07:49And the clue, do you get the bird about French politics?
07:52Do you get the bird about French politics?
08:10Welcome back.
08:12I left with a clue.
08:13Do you get the bird about French politics?
08:15And the answer is jacobin.
08:18Jacobins?
08:19Jacobin, if it's French, I guess.
08:21With a small j.
08:22Either a pigeon, or more exotically,
08:25a green Central and South American hummingbird
08:28with blue feathers on its head.
08:29So, green body and blue head.
08:30Sounds quite beautiful.

09:54Anything else, perhaps, in the corner?
09:56Kate?
09:57Interval for eight.
09:58Yes.
09:59That was the best one I could come up with.
10:01That was, yes.
10:01That's it, Susie?
10:02Yep.
10:02The best interval.
10:03Well done.

11:15Jamie?
11:16Prisons.
11:17Now then, Anna?
11:19Persons.
11:21Persons? Unknown.
11:23Yep, I'm sure that's absolutely fine.
11:25We'll just double check.
11:28Yes, plural people or persons.
11:31Absolutely fine. Indeed.
11:32And in the corner, what have you conjured up?
11:35Well, there's profess.
11:36So, a bit of profess for seven.
11:38But I think the best one I could think of was ropiness for eight.
11:43Ropiness.
11:44If that's allowed, a ropiness.
11:45Yes.
11:46Something. It's a bit ropey or mediocre.
11:48Dodgy.
11:49Yeah.
11:49Lovely.
11:5039 plays 21.
11:52And Anna, it's now your numbers game.
11:56And please, could I have one from the top and any of the five?
11:58Of course, thank you, Anna.
11:59One large one.
12:00And five little ones again.
12:01And this time around, your selection is three, five, eight, one, two.
12:09And the large one, 50.
12:10And this target, 154.
12:13One, five, four.
12:14Two, five, four.
12:17Two, five, six, seven, eight.
12:46Yes, Anna?
12:471, 5, 4.
12:49Jamie? 1, 5, 4.
12:50So, Anna?
12:51I did 50 times 3.
12:5350 times 3, 150.
12:55Yep, and then 5 minus 1 is the 4.
12:57Yeah, I'm done.
12:58Nice and straightforward.
12:59Yeah, I did 50 times the 3, and then 8 divided by the 2,
13:02you get your 4.
13:034, lovely.
13:04Well done.
13:04All right.
13:09So, with the score standing at 49 to Jamie,
13:12Anna on 31, we turn to Kate,
13:14and Kate, you've presented TV programmes on history,
13:17you've written historical books.
13:18I mean, 10 years ago now, your first book, I think,
13:21Young Woman.
13:21Yes, my first one, yes.
13:22The Influence Life of Emma Hamilton,
13:24and then Becoming Queen,
13:25the youth of Queen Victoria and her cousin,
13:28and then Josephine, Desire, Ambition, and Napoleon.
13:31So, what was it that drove you into this love of history?
13:35I think I always loved the time travelling aspect.
13:38I think if I was given the choice of time travel or space travel,
13:41I think I'd choose time.
13:43I think my love of history, I think,
13:44develops from being really mean to my little brother,
13:46poor thing,
13:47was that I used to have this brilliant game I made up,
13:50which was, there was a box that the washing machine came in,
13:53a great big box,
13:54and I covered it with bits of tinfoil and things.
13:56I was about 7, and he'd be about 4.
13:58And then I put him in it,
14:00and I told him it was a time machine.
14:02I'm afraid I put it on the top step of our stairs at home.
14:06So, my mother was downstairs, you know, getting on with stuff,
14:08thinking we were playing so nicely,
14:09but upstairs, her 4-year-old was in a box on the top of the stairs,
14:14and I was shaking it around, and I said,
14:15Oh, Jeff, look, this is the time machine,
14:17and now we're going travelling,
14:19and look, this is the time with the pyramids,
14:21and I'd tell him all about it.
14:22And of course, he'd say,
14:22Let me out, I want to see you.
14:24And I'd say, No, you've got to stay in,
14:26because that'll ruin the magic.
14:27So, I had a great time, days and days,
14:30of taking Jeff round and round the different time zones,
14:33and it was brilliant fun.
14:34But unfortunately, after a while,
14:37he got too big to go into the box,
14:38so I had to start writing him historical magazines,
14:41and he's now 6 foot and looks like a rugby player,
14:44and you couldn't get him into a cardboard box.
14:48No, no more.
14:48Where were you picking up all the information
14:50about the pyramids and all the rest of it?
14:52Because you were reading voraciously at 7?
14:54My mother had to take,
14:56because I loved books so much
14:57that we had to belong to two libraries,
14:59and I had to lie and say
15:01I wasn't a member of another library.
15:02So, already, my mother lied for me
15:04when I was quite young,
15:05so I got all these historical books out,
15:07and the outcome of these marvellous books
15:10was being really mean to Jeff
15:11and telling him he was travelling around the world.
15:13But he tells me he's got over it now,
15:15and he's forgiven me, apparently.
15:17Excellent.
15:18But an extraordinary career you've had, really,
15:20because, of course, academically,
15:21you plunged in.
15:22You were at Oxford,
15:22then you went on and lectured,
15:24and now you're Professor of History at Reading.
15:28Yes, that's the same college as Susie,
15:29so, yes.
15:30Excellent.
15:31Well done.
15:32Thank you very much indeed.
15:33More to come from Kate.
15:36But now,
15:38with the score standing at 49 for Jamie
15:40and on 31,
15:41we turn to Jamie for a letters game.

17:09That's a salt or a derivative of malic acid,

22:33What about twanged?
22:36Twanged?
22:37Yes.
22:38It's a bit random.
22:39No, a bit nice.
22:40I like that, yes.
22:41To make or cause a twang.
22:43That sort of nasal sound, or strong ringing sound indeed, with a musical instrument.
22:49Anyway, it's there as a verb.

23:19R.
23:20And a consonant?
23:22D.
23:25And a consonant, please.
23:27And the last one?
23:28T.
23:30And here's the countdown clock.
23:32R.
23:32R.
23:33And a consonant?
24:02Yes, Jamie.
24:03Eight.
24:04An eight, Anna?
24:05I also have an eight.
24:07Jamie?
24:09Lardiest.
24:10Lardiest, said with a smile.
24:12And Anna?
24:14Steadily.
24:16Excellent.
24:16Good adverb, yep.
24:22Now then, what of the corner?
24:24Kate?
24:25No, my best was steadily, and then I had a tardily at seven.
24:31So, no, I can't beat it.
24:33No, saltier for seven, but like a good adverb in Dictionary Corner.
24:37All right.
24:38Tardily and steadily.
24:39Well done.
24:40Eighty plays 58, and now we turn back to Susie for her wonderful origins of words.
24:47Kate, you'll like this.
24:48I will.
24:48Special moment coming up.
24:50I hope so.
24:50Absolutely.
24:51I hope so.
24:51Now.
24:52We're going to talk about the origin of Cockney, which has always been a rather strange term.
24:57And you have to go right back to the 14th century, when one of the most popular poems of the
25:02day was Piers Plowman.
25:04Still read today.
25:05William Langland.
25:06Epic, epic poem.
25:08Allegorical.
25:09Covered lots of social and religious issues.
25:11And in the poem, Piers Plowman, the protagonist, complains of not having the eggs or bacon to make a dollop.
25:17And a dollop was an egg which was fried on top of a piece of bacon, which sounds quite tasty.
25:23But the word he used for the eggs in the poem was cockeneys, which is spelled C-O-K-E
25:29-N-E-Y-E-S.
25:31And its root is cocken, which was a cockerel, and a, or I-E-Y, which is an old variation
25:37on egg.
25:38Quite what a cockerel's egg or a cock's egg was is open to debate.
25:43There was certainly a folk tale in circulation at the time that any small or misshapen egg must have been
25:49laid by a cockerel or a chicken and not a hen.
25:53But cockenay was also a word for a pampered child or a spoilt adult.
25:58Again, the idea of being somebody a little bit inferior or not quite right.
26:03And so from there, to someone born within the sound of bow bells seems a major, major leap.
26:07But it's actually another riff on the attitude or the enmity, really, that exists between country folk and towns of
26:15people.
26:16Country folk are seen as yokels and bumpkins, of course, and towns folk are seen as being over-refined, slightly
26:22precious,
26:23and a little bit squeamish sometimes as well, certainly of the sort of the grit and grime of country life.
26:28And in the 15th and 16th centuries, certainly English country folk immediately thought of London when it came to city
26:35dwellers.
26:35It was the centre of everything.
26:36And so they transferred the idea of mollycoddled, over-precious individuals to those at the heart of London, as they
26:44saw it,
26:44which was in the original city of London, which is probably how cockneys today, with all their sort of wonderful
26:51language of their own,
26:52came to have that very, very strange term for actually a misshapen egg.
26:57So a very, very strange tale, but not perhaps quite as strange as the idea of a chicken's egg or,
27:03you know, a cockerel's egg.
27:04But we think that is how Cockney came about, and the one we still use today.
27:09Fantastic.
27:10Amazing.
27:11Amazing.
27:14What a story.
27:16I remember that poem.
27:17I didn't realise it had the connection.
27:19Amazing.
27:20Is that where the line, home the weary ploughman wins his weary way?
27:25Yeah.
27:25We still use it to, or we still read it today, in English literature.
27:28But, yes, had quite an impact if you think of that one single word.
27:32Thank you, Susie.
27:33And now we turn to Anna for a letters game.
27:36Hi.
27:37Please, I've got to have a consonant.

30:57There is also an eight there, actually.
31:00Oh.
31:01Pruinate.
31:02Oh.
31:03Pruinate means the name is pruinose,
31:04which is actually quite a beautiful term in terms of what it describes.
31:08It's something that's frosted in appearance,
31:11so covered with sort of white dusting, white powder, if you like.
31:15That's something that's pruinate or pruinose, but pruinate for eight.
31:18Well done.
31:21Well done, Anna.
31:2493 to 71.

32:06Bye, bye.

32:18No, I lost it, I'm afraid.
32:20Now then, Jamie.
32:21Three, nine, seven.
32:23Three, nine, seven.
32:25I've done ten divided to two is five.
32:28Ten over two, five.
32:30I've done 75 plus one is 76.
32:3275, yep.
32:34Multiply that for 380.
32:36380.
32:37Plus the nine and the eight.
32:38And then the nine and the eight.
32:40Yep, one away, three, nine, seven.
32:43Never not perfect.
32:44For that, we turn to Rachel.
32:45Is it possible?
32:46I'm sure it's possible,
32:47but leave it with me for a second.
32:49Certainly will.
32:49It's 100 to Jamie.
32:51Anna on 71.
32:52As we go into the final round,
32:55Jamie and Anna, fingers on buzzers.
32:56Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
33:08Anna.
33:09It's an encounter.
33:11Encounter.
33:12Let's see whether you're right.
33:14Here it comes.
33:15Well done.
33:17Very good.
33:21Well done, Anna.
33:2381.
33:23You put up a very good, strong, consistent fight.
33:27But in the end, Jamie takes it.
33:29But well done, Anna.
33:31Well done.
33:32Thanks for coming.
33:33Take this goodie bag back to Newcastle with you.
33:36And good luck with your catering business.

33:56Thank you on Monday.
33:56And Rachel will not have a tortured weekend because she's got some news for us.
34:00Yeah.
34:00Eventually, you can say 75 minus 10 minus 8 is 57.
34:069 minus 2 is 7.
34:09Multiply them together for 399 and take away the 1.
34:12Oh, well done.
34:13Well done indeed.
