00:00Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:03Now, on Saturday, a great tradition takes place in the City of London.
00:07It's the Lord Mayor's Show.
00:09And this has been going on for eight centuries.
00:12And each year, all the floats pour through the city.
00:15In the middle is the new Lord Mayor in the Lord Mayor's coach.
00:21It's the most extraordinary gold concoction, but it's an extraordinary thing.
00:24And all the great livery companies, they have their floats and they march through.
00:28And it's actually, Rachel, a great, great sight.
00:31But interestingly, 60 years ago, way back in 1956, the bus of the future, the bus of the future,
00:39the great route master bus, was actually in the show.
00:45And it's going to be this sort of, you know, the bus of the future.
00:48Of course, it went on and on and became such a landmark in London.
00:51Do you take the bus?
00:52I don't too much, actually.
00:54I'm more of a tube if I'm going to get transport in London because you avoid the traffic.
00:57But I was in Iceland recently and they don't have any trains or anything like that.
01:01I think they said it was 97% renewable energy.
01:04So they've got these bus stops with kind of wind-powered generators over the top.
01:10And you can actually charge a mobile phone and get free Wi-Fi from the bus stations or from the
01:15geothermal energy.
01:16What a good idea.
01:17Yeah.
01:18You see, we don't know it all in this country.
01:20No, it was very advanced over there.
01:21I was very impressed.
01:22Well done.
01:22All right.
01:23Now then, Rachel, we've got Amber back, Amber Farrington.
01:27Two good wins under her belt.
01:28Well done.
01:29Well done.
01:30Good win.
01:30I think by 20-something points, maybe even yesterday.
01:34But today you're joined by Doug Roberts.
01:36And Doug, welcome, Doug.
01:38You're a children's entertainer from Sompting in Worthing.
01:41Yes.
01:42And I think, and I'm reading my notes here, that you are Potty the Pirate.
01:47That's correct, yes.
01:48And you look after kids at their birthday parties and the rest of it.
01:5114 years ago.
01:52Good sport.
01:52Good sport.
01:53Well done.
01:54Let's have a big round of applause for Potty the Pirate and Amber.
02:01Well done.
02:03And over in the corner, of course, Susie's back, as is Margaret Moundford.
02:07Best known, perhaps.
02:08Well, I don't know.
02:09I mean, The Apprentice was a big thing for you.
02:12But since then, you've done a lot of television work, really centering on Greco-Roman history,
02:19I think.
02:19But you had that wonderful programme you did about the volcano that engulfed Pompeii.
02:27Pompeii, yes.
02:28Pompeii.
02:28It was great.
02:29That was really interesting, because it showed that it was the heat that had actually killed
02:33the people, and they hadn't been smothered by ash, which is what the guides have been
02:36telling people for.
02:37And they're still telling people, of course, even though the evidence is, the scientific
02:41evidence shows that it was the heat from the volcano that was what killed them.
02:47All right.
02:47It gets pretty hot in this studio, I can tell you, when the competition heats up.
02:51So let's get down to business with Amber.
02:53Amber, let us go.

09:31As we turn to the corner to see whether Margaret and Susie have produced ending.
09:36Well, I haven't, but Susie has.
09:38Well, you could add the R.
09:39I don't know if you were wondering about that, Amber, for inducer.
09:42That would have been there.
09:43And there's uncared.
09:45And also durance, which is quite an old word, meaning imprisonment or confinement.
09:51Durance.
09:52As in hard or something?

11:26We have a hoariest, as in the hoariest of jokes.
11:30Oh, yeah.
11:31Most unoriginal or trite.

13:02Well done.
13:05Well done, chaps.
13:07162.
13:08So 47 to 41.
13:10Doug's 41.
13:12Nothing in it yet.
13:13As we turn to Margaret.
13:14Margaret, you've opened my eyes to the north, to Northumberland.
13:18You've told us about Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands.
13:22And now?
13:23Now I'm going to tell you about Vindolanda, which is the most amazing place.
13:28It's a Roman fort just south of Hadrian's Wall.
13:32And it was best known, well, it is best known, for the writing tablets that were found there.
13:36There were wooden, thin bits of wood that people had written letters on.
13:42And the best known is an invitation from the wife of one commander asking the wife of another commander to
13:48dinner.
13:49And they were preserved because of the mud.
13:53And they're still excavating there.
13:55You can go and watch them excavating.
13:56You can go and watch things being, you know, fished out of the mud that haven't been seen for nearly
14:002,000 years.
14:01And because of these waterlogged, muddy conditions, a lot of leather has been preserved.
14:07It's the biggest collection of leather, Roman leather, from one site.
14:15And you can see the type of boot that the Roman legionary would have marched in, which is a, well,
14:27it's a sort of cross between a sandal and a football boot, I suppose.
14:30Because there's three layers of leather on the bottom, and there are hobnails nailed into it.
14:37So there were studded sandals.
14:39But so that they didn't get something like trench foot, or whatever one would call it, they were open.
14:45So they're open at the back and at the front, so the air can pass through.
14:49But, of course, that means the water can pass through as well.
14:52So they may have been better suited to drier climates than sloshing around in the mud up in the north.
14:58But it's fascinating, and I'd recommend anybody to go there.
15:01It's a wonderful site.
15:02I think the Romans were incredible.
15:04They were.
15:05We don't need to ask what did the Romans do for us, because we know.
15:08Exactly that.
15:09Exactly that.
15:09Thanks, Margaret.
15:16Very good.
15:17I think they're marvellous.
15:19So there we are, 47th place, 41.
15:21Amber, how about a letters game?
15:23I'll start with a consonant, please.
15:24Thank you, Amber.

22:33Um.
22:35That's really, really unlucky, Doug.
22:37It's not there.
22:39Um.
22:40And you might think it's actually more plausible than the one we have.
22:43Um.
22:44But it sort of makes sense if you put it in context.
22:46Unlived is there for seven, but you might talk about something looking very unlived in.
22:50Almost always go with in.
22:52Yes.
22:52Bad luck.
22:53That is bad luck, actually.
22:55There we go.

24:28It's the common stable isotope of hydrogen.
24:32Very, very good.
24:32Oh, well done.
24:33Bravo.
24:36So, you've leapfrogged Amber again by two points.
24:41You're in the lead again.
24:4269 to 67.
24:44But in the corner, Margaret and Susie, what have you conjured up?
24:47One that you'll know well.
24:49Tap room.
24:51That's not strictly fair.
24:54A tap room in a pub.
24:56In a pub.
24:57In a pub.
24:57Drinks on tap.
24:59Indeed.
24:59Thank you very much.
25:00Thank you, Margaret.
25:0169 to 67.
25:03And it's Susie that we seek.
25:06Susie's origins of words.
25:07Susie.
25:08Well, I'm going to look right back to the 12th century, when if you went to a kitchen in
25:15those days, you would have heard one of the most commonly used words, board, board.
25:21And in those days, a board was simply a table.
25:24It was the flat, raised surface upon which meals were eaten.
25:28And board remained the word for table for a century or more until in the 1300s, table, sorry, the 1400s,
25:36this was, table began to take on its current sense.
25:39And table had originally meant a tablet.
25:41Margaret was talking about tablets before.
25:43But that took on the meaning of something on which you would eat your food.
25:49Eventually, it shifted, as so often it does in English.
25:52It shifted from the table to food itself, which is when you hear the phrase board and lodgings, you were
25:58talking about accommodation and the food that you will receive at a guest house, etc.
26:03And, of course, a board meeting is somewhere where important issues are discussed around a table.
26:09And it also explains above board, because above board, we think, began as a gambling term when all the players
26:15had to sit around with their hands on top,
26:17so not to do anything suspicious and play around with cards or try and stow them away under the table.
26:24And then, of course, we have the cupboard.
26:26That's another word that you might have expected to find in a medieval kitchen.
26:30No one has pronounced the P in cupboard for centuries, and it slightly obscures the origin.
26:35I always tell kids, you know, you have to sort of explain the etymology, really.
26:39It means a table, originally, on which cups were stowed, and then, of course, it became a cupboard, a closet,
26:46into which cups were stowed away.
26:48And only later, really, did it become this closed cabinet.
26:51Originally, it was a table upon which cups were placed.
26:54So there you go, a very quick trip around the kitchen.
26:56But board and lodgings, you're talking about food.
26:59Very good.
27:00Bed and ball.
27:01Bed and ball, yeah.
27:06Thank you, Susie.
27:08All right.
