00:00Thank you very much.
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, throughout the year, there are national weeks.
00:37So many things, I never fully understand it and get a little bit irritated by it.
00:41This time of year, of course, all the foodies get together because we've just come to the end of National
00:46Cake Week.
00:47Did you know it was National Cake Week?
00:49I didn't.
00:49That finished yesterday.
00:51But don't despair, all you foodies out there, because starting today it's National Chocolate Week.
00:55Is that going to make a difference to your life?
00:57Not really.
00:57Will National Curry Week, which also starts today, will that make a difference to your life?
01:01Are you going to eat more curry?
01:02Not really.
01:03No.
01:04I think they're wasting their time.
01:05There we are.
01:06I might do.
01:07Now, just to spite you.
01:10No, I do like chocolate, actually.
01:12I'm not bothered about curry.
01:14Sometimes I'll have a curry, and a pint with curry can be good.
01:18But chocolate, I'm a bit of a softie for that, and I know that you are.
01:21Don't deny it, Rachel.
01:22What about you?
01:23Are you, like, the weird things when they would do something like a chocolate curry?
01:27Would you give that a go?
01:27No, you can get chocolate with ginger in it, and that sort of thing, to spice things up
01:31a bit.
01:32But, no, chocolate's a lovely, lovely thing.
01:34Good chocolate is.
01:35Good chocolate's better.
01:37Good chocolate.
01:37Good chocolate's better.
01:38Good chocolate's a whole lot better.
01:40Bad chocolate's rubbish.
01:41Now, then, who have we got with us?
01:43Jamie Smith is with us, and Jamie, Rachel, is doing so well.
01:47He's from Mipswich.
01:47We all know that you run an outside catering company, but also we all know that you've
01:52got three great wins under your belt, and numbers are your strongest suit, I think.
01:57You've done so well, although last time out, actually, you were one short.
02:01But Rachel got it.
02:02Of course she did.
02:03And you're joined, Jamie, by Alan Parker, a company director from the Vale of Glamorgan.
02:09And, again, he's a racehorse owner, and the racehorse is called Waldorf Salad.
02:16Brilliant.
02:17Now, apparently, you once had the great pleasure, I trust, of sleeping with George Harrison.
02:22What's that about?
02:24It's not quite as it seems.
02:26I was actually on a flight back from Los Angeles to Heathrow when I was upgraded to first class,
02:33and ended up being sat next to George Harrison.
02:37And it was a 13-hour flight, overnight flight, and after dinner, I turned the lights down,
02:44and you put the seats back, and your foot rest up, go to sleep.
02:48So I spent about six or seven hours sleeping next to George Harrison.
02:52Next to George Harrison.
02:53Apparently a really nice bloke.
02:54A lovely man.
02:55Very softly spoken.
02:57Yeah.
02:58But we are quite a good chap, and really a nice guy.
03:02Down to earth.
03:03Really down to earth guy.
03:04That's good to hear.
03:05Sad loss, actually.
03:06Yeah, absolutely.
03:07Anyway, Alan, thanks for coming.
03:09And Jamie, too.
03:10Let's have a big round of applause for today's contestants.
03:16And Susie's back on this Monday, joined once again, of course, by Kate Williams, historian, author, TV presenter,
03:23and also an academic.
03:25You're very welcome.
03:26Thanks for coming back.
03:27And do you know what, talking of chocolate, do you know what I sell on the internet, on a blog
03:30I follow?
03:31Go on.
03:31Chocolate-covered crisps.
03:33Do you think you'd like that?
03:34Maybe.
03:35I'm not a great crisp fan, to be honest with you.
03:38What is this thing, Kate, now?
03:39Susie, you know as well.
03:42Where it's salted.
03:44Is it salted caramel?
03:45Salted caramel.
03:46That's lovely.
03:46Chocolate.
03:47That is very good.
03:47It's not too far from a crisp, is it?
03:49True.
03:49True.
03:50You're right.
03:50Yeah.
03:51Lovely.
03:51All right, more later, but right now it's Jamie Smith's letters game.

06:53Realise.
06:55Yes.
06:56Absolutely fine.
06:58Now, anything else in the corner?
07:00Kate?
07:00I think I've got an eight.
07:02Yes.
07:03I think I've got earliest.
07:04Oh, not bad.
07:05Excellent.
07:07There we are.
07:07I was early.
07:08I did not.
07:09There we go.
07:10Very good.
07:10So it's 13 to Jamie and Alan.
07:13Poor Alan on a six.
07:15And now, Jamie, it's your numbers game.
07:18Jamie.
07:19One large, please.
07:20Thank you, Jamie.
07:20One large one.
07:21Five little ones.
07:22And the first numbers game of the week is four.
07:26Ten.
07:28One.
07:29Two.
07:29Seven.
07:31And the large one, 100.
07:32And the target, 509.
07:35509.
08:01Jamie.

08:04509.
08:05And Alan.
08:06Yeah, 509.
08:07Jamie.
08:08So then seven minus two equals five.
08:11Seven minus two, five.
08:12Times that by the hundred.
08:13500.
08:14Ten minus the one is the nine.
08:15Yeah, nice and straightforward.
08:16There we go.
08:17Alan.
08:17I did four plus one is five times 100 and seven plus two is the nine.

08:58Welcome back.
08:59I left with the clue.
09:00He drops the antique vase and is left with this.
09:03He's left with a potsherd.
09:05Potsherd.
09:06Where does that come from?
09:08I shall tell you.
09:09It always gets me thinking about ostracizing and how they, you know, votes were written
09:14on broken pieces of pottery, which is exactly what this is, a broken piece of ceramic material
09:18often found in archaeological sites, aren't they, potsherds?
09:21Indeed.

13:58now
13:58to Kate and Kate last week you told us how you uh got hooked on history as a child and
14:03I believe that
14:03studying for doctorate then led to your first book being published
14:08yes well I was studying for a doctorate in the um history of seduction at Oxford and I started to
14:14become
14:14quite interested in letters that women write to men and men write to women
14:17uh but I called them up into the library and they were all so dull
14:21and then I came across a letter that Emma Hamilton had written to Nelson
14:24in 1798
14:25even though
14:26well he perhaps wasn't seen as much of a
14:28love symbol
14:30because he was
14:31quite small
14:32and
14:32he had quite a thick accent
14:33and he lost his eye and he
14:35didn't have an arm
14:36but uh
14:36despite of all that she was
14:38completely
14:39fascinated by him
14:40and wrote him this amazing letter
14:41telling him how
14:42she was covered in
14:44in Nelson
14:44insignia
14:45and she was dreaming of him
14:47and he was completely fabulous
14:49and had to come and see her in Naples
14:50and she said
14:51I walk and tread in the air with pride
14:53to feel as if I was born in the same land as
14:56Nelson and his gallant band
14:57so whatever we said about Team GB
14:59in the Olympics
15:00this is much more intense
15:02and this is 1798
15:03after
15:04they estimate that
15:05every household after the Battle of the Nile
15:07had a picture of Nelson
15:08whether it's just a little something torn out of a newspaper
15:11Susie and I
15:11if this was the Napoleonic Wars
15:13all of us actually
15:14would be covered in Nelson
15:16giant ends here
15:17Nelson headbands
15:18anchors round our necks
15:19was he a sort of a trophy for her?
15:21he was a trophy for her
15:23but he'd be a trophy for any woman in Europe
15:25but uh
15:26he
15:26she made sure she got him first
15:28he hadn't been off the ship in months
15:29hadn't seen a woman in ages
15:30and uh
15:31the first letter he got was Emma Hamilton telling him
15:33how marvellous
15:34he was
15:34and even though he was married
15:36and she was married
15:37where was Lord Hamilton at the time?
15:39he was in Naples
15:41with Emma
15:41she was
15:42he was the ambassador
15:43and she was with him
15:44so he
15:45Nelson came into Naples
15:47expecting to see
15:48uh
15:49William Hamilton come to meet him
15:50with the king and queen
15:51but instead he had Emma
15:52shouting
15:53oh god is it possible
15:54and then fainting on top of him
15:55what are you going to do?
15:56I mean
15:56he faints too
15:58so the pair of them are fainted on the deck
15:59in front of everyone
16:00and it's
16:01the beginning of the love story

24:55Yeah, we've done it for seven otherwise.
24:56Inmates for seven.
24:57But yes, matinades is definitely the best one.
25:00Well done, Jamie.
25:01All right, 75 to 67.
25:03So Jamie's made another break for it.
25:06And it's now Susie's turn to talk to us with her wonderful origins of words.
25:11Susie.
25:12It's a bit of a teacher's mantra, Nick, that teach and learn are not the same thing.
25:15So if you say to someone, that'll learn him, that's a complete no-no today.
25:19But Shakespeare was actually quite fond of using the word in that way.
25:24And he actually had etymology on his side.
25:26Because although the Old English, Leonian, did generally mean to learn and to study rather
25:33than to teach, the meaning of teaching did come in quite early on.
25:38And in fact, the two meanings of teaching and learning coexisted in that word learn for
25:43quite a long time.
25:45And it was only with the prescriptivism of the 18th century that it became to be a complete
25:50taboo.
25:50And in fact, many, many formulations in English that we nowadays can become quite pedantic
25:55about were perfectly possible in the olden days.
25:58So as you probably know, kings and queens of England used to use ain't quite liberally.
26:03Disinterested did actually once mean uninterested, as well as being completely sort of outside
26:08an argument or objective.
26:11Less than and fewer than were interchangeable when it came to plural nouns.
26:15And gotten, you will find in Shakespeare as well.
26:18So there are quite a few things in English that prescriptivism decided to ban, but in
26:24fact, were perfectly possible in the olden days.
26:26But if you look back even further and that word to learn, there is an agricultural meaning
26:32as well, rather than a sort of lofty educational one, because it probably stems from a word meaning
26:36a furrow or a track.
26:38And to learn was to follow a channel, if you like, a channel of facts and to stay in the
26:43groove.
26:44If you came off that path, you would go down the wrong route and ultimately learn the wrong
26:50facts, if you like.
26:51Which means, strangely, that learn and delirium are actually kissing cousins, because delirare
26:57in Latin meant to deviate from a straight line or to go out of the furrow.
27:02Of course, the verb came to mean deviation of a very different kind, namely madness, with
27:07delirium later on.
27:08But the idea of going off route is behind lots of words in English.
27:12Deviate itself has got via, the Latin for way, in it.
27:17Obvious is something that literally stands in your way.
27:20It's got that via in it again.
27:22And of course, trivial, one of your favourite, I know, Nick.
27:25Trivial meaning literally belonging to the crossroads, something where sort of idle chatter
27:29was passed in the olden days.
27:32So, the idea of staying in a route or going out of it and risking consequences is behind
27:36so many words in English we may not recognise today.
27:39Fantastic.
27:40Well done.
27:44Of course, that'll learn it.
27:47It's just a phrase now, isn't it?
27:49Yes, it is.
27:50As is what agricultural phrase is.
27:51We use it in quotes as well, don't we?
27:52That'll learn it.
27:53Well done.
27:5475 to 67.
27:55Jamie, as we say, in the lead.
27:57And it's Alan's letters game.
27:58Alan.
27:59Fowl, please, Rachel.
28:00Thank you, Alan.
28:08And the last one, G.
28:25Don't like it.
28:56Alan.
28:59Just five.
29:00Five.
29:01Five.
29:01And I have a seven, but not written down.
29:05All right.
29:06Alan.
29:07Grape.
29:08Now then.
29:09Portage.
29:11Yes.
29:12Nice pronunciation.
29:13I like that.
29:14Or portage, you would say, more prosaically.
29:16Yes, very good.
29:17All right.
29:17Any more sevens?
29:19That was our single seven.
29:21Absolutely.
29:21There's a South African five in there.
29:24Port.
29:25P-O-O-R-T, which is a narrow pass through mountains.
29:29Quite a few South African words in the dictionary, but portage best.
29:31Well done.
29:32All right.
29:3382 to 67.
29:35Jamie, final letters game for you.
29:37Jamie.
29:38I'll start with a consonant, please.
29:40Thank you, Jamie.
29:41H.
29:42And another.
29:42D.
29:45And another.
29:47K.
29:48And another.
29:51T.
29:52And a vowel.
29:53A.
29:54And another.
29:56O.
29:57And another.
29:59I.
30:00And a consonant.
30:03M.
30:06And I'll finish with a vowel, please.
30:08And finish with E.
30:11Count, count.
30:12And another.
30:22MUSIC
30:43Jamie, just a six, and Alan?
30:46Just a five.
30:48That five?
30:49Height.
30:50Jamie, method.
30:52Very nice.
30:53Method.
30:54Can we match that, Kate?
30:55Ethnoid for seven.
30:57Oh, right.
30:58Yes.
30:58What's this, Susie?
30:59The ethnoid bone, I was just looking at some anatomical illustrations here, is the square
31:05bone at the root of the nose.
31:07It forms part of the cranium.
31:08It does sound like a word for an alien.
31:10It does, doesn't it?
31:11There's ethnoids in outer space.
31:12Exactly.
31:13It's part of our nose.
31:14Yes.
31:14Many perforations, apparently, through which the olfactory smelling nerves pass to the nose.
31:19Oh, thank goodness for that.
31:21Quite.
31:21All right.
31:2388 to 67.
31:24Here we are.
31:25Final numbers game.
31:26Alan?
31:27I've got to have six small, please, Rachel.
31:29Thank you, Alan.
31:30Six small to finish off the day.
31:32Wake us all up.
31:33And these numbers are seven, one, ten, eight, two, and five.
31:41Got to be on our game for this one.
31:43Target, maybe not, 154.
31:45One, five, four.
31:48One, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five,
32:00five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five,
32:00five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five,
32:00five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five,

32:00five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five
32:17Yes, Alan?
32:19Er, no, I've lost it.
32:21Lost it? No, then, Jeremy.
32:221, 5, 4. Yes.
32:24Jeremy? 8 plus the 7 times the 10.
32:278 plus the 7 for 15 times the 10, 150.
32:30And then 5 minus the 1 for the 4.
32:32Yeah, lovely. 1, 5, 4.
32:34There you go. Well done.
32:36Well done.
32:38So 98 days are 67 and it's the final round.
32:42Fingers on buzzers, please.
32:43Jamie, Alan, we're about to roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:02Alan?
33:03Squeamish?
33:04Let's see whether you're right.
33:07Squeamish.
33:08Here it comes.
33:09Well done.
33:15Well done indeed.
33:16Bad luck, Alan, actually.
33:17You played really strongly.
33:18You just drifted away at the end a little bit.
33:20Yeah.
33:21Yeah, because I think you had that numbers game.
33:23Well, I had to take a chance for the six low numbers, I think, maybe, and lost it.
33:27Yeah.
33:27You did very well, because you're up against somebody who's now won four games on the trot, as it were.
33:32So, you know, 77 is a good score.
33:35Thanks for coming.
33:36Thanks for coming.
33:37Thanks for having me.
33:37Take this back to the Vale of Glamorgan.
33:40Our best wishes to Waldorf salad.
33:43All right.
33:44Time to keep going.
33:45Good night, yeah.
33:45And it's been a pleasure.
33:47Jamie.
33:48Four on the trot.
33:49You're halfway there.
33:51How are you feeling?
33:52Just keeping up real, Nick.
33:53Just keeping up real.
33:54I should remember to write it down.
33:56That could have been painful.
33:57There we are.
33:58Anyway, you survived, and we shall see you tomorrow.
34:00Well done.
34:01And we'll see you tomorrow, Kate, also.
34:03And Susie, too.
34:04See you tomorrow, Nick.
34:05See you both tomorrow.
34:06And I know Jamie didn't think he'd be here this long, so he's had to rush out and get some
34:09new shirts.
34:10So we'll all look forward to seeing what he's going to be wearing in the coming days.
34:14It's been a good run of shirts, actually.
34:16See you tomorrow.
34:17See you tomorrow.
34:18Same time, same place.
34:20You'll be sure of it.
34:21A very good afternoon.
