00:30Well, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Big crowd in today.
00:35Welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:37Now, trains. Trains. How is this for a transport solution?
00:42In Japan, where they have very, very fast trains, I might tell you,
00:45I think the bullet train travels at something like 200 miles an hour,
00:49they fitted them with speakers that play snorting and barking noises.
00:54Why? Because apparently, Rachel, deer get onto the track.
00:57Now, if you hit a big deer at 200 miles an hour, you're going to make a terrible mess.
01:02And so they fitted these big speakers. They tried various other things.
01:05I might tell you, they had flashing red lights. It didn't work.
01:09And then they thought they'd try something else.
01:11So they distributed lion feces around in the hope that the deers would be frightened.
01:17Oh, there must be lions around. And they'd push off into the mountains.
01:20That didn't work either. So now we've got snorting and barking noises.
01:25It's amazing, isn't it? But it works. It works.
01:28But talking about traffic, my concern is that the electric cars,
01:32and let's not pretend that this isn't going to be the way of things in the future,
01:36also, they're silent. You can't hear them.
01:39So maybe we'll have to have them fitted with snorting noises and barking dogs.
01:43Well, in different countries, there's different regulations, but they certainly put the engine noise in some countries,
01:48so you can actually hear it coming, like you say.
01:49Yeah.
01:50Yeah.
01:50Now, Rachel, we've got Toby MacDonald back. He beat a three-times winner.
01:55Toby, what was your score?
01:56115. It's fantastic.
01:59How are you feeling? Confident?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Good. So you should.
02:03Now, Toby, you're up against Maxim Hall, a primary teacher from St. Neart's.
02:10Welcome.
02:10Well, thank you.
02:11Now, you're an extraordinary young man, too, because you're a talented decathlete.
02:15You represented Great Britain in the past, and you're still competing at national level.
02:21What's your sort of highest place?
02:23I've come fourth in the last national championships I did.
02:28Yeah, so that's the highest of them.
02:30That's fantastic. And which is your favourite?
02:33Probably pole vault.
02:34Is it?
02:34Like, lots of dimensions to it, so it's good fun being up there.
02:38Well, that's something else. We've never had a decathlete, as far as I know.
02:42So a big round of applause for our decathlete, Maxim Hall, and young Toby MacDonald.
02:47Oh, talent galore. Over in the corner, Susie, of course.
02:54Welcome back, Susie.
02:56Sitting next to animal expert and TV presenter, and all-around good guy, Chris Packham.
03:00Welcome, Chris.
03:04Now, Toby, off we go. Let us go.

04:38A despiser?
04:39Somebody who despises, yes.
04:41A hater.
04:42A despiser.
04:44Not a good place to be.
04:45Nope.
04:46Thank you for that, Susie.
04:47Eight apiece.
04:48And Maxim, your letters came.
04:50Good afternoon, Rachel.

06:08And a seven.
06:09Maxim?
06:10Arsons.
06:11Arsons and?
06:13And ariosos.
06:18Absolutely brilliant, yes.
06:20In opera and oratorio, an arioso is vocal music.
06:25It's more melodic than reactive, but less formal than an aria.
06:29It's very, very good.
06:31Arsons is a mass noun, so I'm pretty sure you can't put the S on, unfortunately.
06:36Yes, we just have to be in the singular.
06:38Sorry, but, yeah, arioso is excellent.
06:41And Susie and Chris, what have you?
06:45We had arsons, but also orisons.
06:51Orisons.
06:52Prayers.
06:53It's an archaic word for a prayer and orisons.
06:55Oh, yeah.
06:56Fifteen plays eight.
06:57Toby on fifteen.
06:59Toby's back with a numbers game.
07:02Inverted T, please, Rachel.
07:04Thank you, Toby.

08:43You were left with the clue.
08:44The man acted without a solicitor, and underpants, for that matter.
08:48A short answer to this is that he was briefless. Briefless.
08:55Didn't have a brief. 25 to 18, Toby in the lead.

12:05Very, very good.
12:07Good.
12:11Well done.

12:17Well done.

13:13Maxim?
13:15490.
13:17Toby?
13:18490.
13:21Maxim?
13:22100 times 5 is 500.
13:24500.
13:25And then 9 add 1.
13:26Yeah, it's your 10.
13:27It's 10 and then take it away.
13:29Another easy one.
13:30And Toby?
13:3275 minus 5 is 70.
13:34Yeah.
13:359 minus 2 is 7.
13:37It is.
13:37And times them together.
13:38Yeah, well done.
13:39490.
13:43So, same difference, 50 to 35.
13:48Toby in the lead.
13:49And it's Chris we turn to now.
13:51Chris, what have you for us today?
13:53I've got cheeky tits today.
13:55Or rather, the cheeks of tits.
13:59Yeah.
13:59Bird colour.
14:00OK.
14:01Now, we know that the colour in the bird is related to their general state of fitness
14:07and very often the availability of food.
14:09So, some scientists in Spain decided to look at blue tits.
14:16Now, I have to point out that blue tits only molt once a year.
14:20And they do that at the end of the breeding season.
14:22Now, the breeding season is the toughest time of the year.
14:25You've got to get yourself a female if you're a male, provide her with food, provide a nest,
14:30and then help her feed the young.
14:32And in the case of blue tits, that can be up to 10.
14:35By the end of the breeding season, you are pretty much exhausted.
14:38But it's then that you've got to molt.
14:41So, what they did was they caught the males and they took a blood sample from them.
14:45And they also used a photospectrometer to look at the brightness of their feathers.
14:52They marked those birds and then they followed them through to the following spring.
14:58Bearing in mind, they haven't molted.
14:59And it's then that they choose their mates.
15:01And they looked at the reproductive success of these birds.
15:05Now, what they found was, when they analysed the blood, was that the birds with a lower parasite yield,
15:12and blue tits are particularly prone to avian malaria, had brighter white cheeks.
15:18And the birds which were heavier had very bright white cheeks.
15:23And these lasted through the winter and into the springtime.
15:26And they found that the males with the brightest, whitest cheeks got together with the females with the brightest, whitest cheeks.
15:33And then they produced young, which, when tested, were bigger, heavier, and had better immune systems.
15:43So, therefore, there was a greater reproductive success.
15:47So, the brightness of your cheeks, if you're a tit, can be titillating to your mate.
15:53And the next time you pop down to the tanning salon, I'd shield your cheeks.
15:59Very good.
16:03Thank you so much.
16:06So, 50 plays 35, maximum 35.
16:09Where should we go?
16:10Let's go to Toby for a letters game.
16:12A consonant, please, Rachel.
16:13Thank you, Toby.

17:26Exactly, it's a mallet.
17:28Anything else other than mallet, maybe?
17:30Chris, Susie?
17:31No, that's it.
17:32We couldn't hit anything more firmly on the head than mallet.
17:35Well done.
17:3756 to 41.
17:39And Maxim, your letters game.
17:42Could I have a consonant, please?

18:29Interesting. Maxim?
18:54I'm going to risk a seven.
18:56Very risky seven.
18:57Toby?
18:58Just a five.
18:59And your five?
19:01Fully.
19:03Now, what's this risk we're talking about, Maxim?
19:05Well, if a tree doesn't have many leaves, it's un-leafy.
19:10I think it's unlikely, yes.
19:14It's not there.
19:15Un-leaf, actually, is in, but not un-leafy.
19:19Chris and Susie, what have you got?
19:22Fallen, with six.
19:24OK.
19:2556 to 41.
19:27Toby?

23:11Erm, empires.
23:13Empires.
23:15Yes, empires, very, very good.
23:18And for six, Ramiz, I think it's pronounced, is very good.
23:21It's a turn from fencing to make a second thrust if the first has failed.
23:25OK.
23:27Now, can we beat empires, I wonder?
23:31Chris?
23:31Beating an empire is quite hard, isn't it?
23:33It is indeed, but it happens.
23:35But we can't do it with our premise, because that's the best we could come up with, an equal seven.
23:40Susie, nothing else?
23:41Yeah, seven to us.
23:42Well done, Toby.

24:20And a vowel.
24:42A vowel.
24:44A procedural.
24:45And a vowel.
24:46G.
24:47Yes, Toby?
24:53Seven.
24:54Seven. Maxim?
24:55Seven as well.
24:57Toby?
24:58Groomed.
24:59And?
25:00Groomed as well, yeah.
25:01Exactly.
25:04Now, Chris and Susie, what have you produced from that little collection?
25:08Yeah, we were well groomed, but we also got Geo Coda.
25:14Oh, really?
25:15And what is that?
25:16For eight.
25:17Essentially, Geo Coda takes an address and then translates it to a place on the planet.
25:23So it looks at coordinates and location according to coordinates.
25:30How helpful.
25:3185 to 58.
25:32Susie?
25:33Yes.
25:34Your origins of words.
25:36Such a delight.
25:37What have you for us today?
25:39Well, I have to thank Paul Anthony Jones.
25:41He watches this programme, watches Countdown, and he's also written a really good book called
25:46The Accidental Dictionary, and he traces some of the best journeys that words have taken
25:50over the centuries.
25:52And this one just took my fancy.
25:56And it starts off with a recipe.
25:58Porpoise Fermenti, Viper Soup, and Cock and Trees.
26:03Cock and Trees being a boiled rooster that's sewn onto the bottom of a pig.
26:08Just not particularly nice.
26:10So, very brave if you were to tackle this recipe.
26:14It's from a medieval cookery book.
26:16But actually, its title is even worse.
26:18Its title is simply Garbage.
26:21And the recipe goes on.
26:23Take fair garbages of chicken as the head, the feet, the livers, and the gizzards.
26:27Wash them clean.
26:28Cast them in a fair pot.
26:30And cast there too fresh broth of beef or else of mutton.
26:33And let it boil.
26:35So, this is from a recipe book of around the 1400s.
26:38And garbage, as you will have guessed, didn't mean what it does today.
26:42It did signify waste material.
26:45But in this case, it was a waste material from butchered animals.
26:47So, essentially, garbage was awful.
26:50And that was its original meaning.
26:51The entrails of the internal parts of an animal.
26:55Not completely sure where it came from.
26:58If you look at the OED, it will say origin unknown.
27:02So, it's a bit shrouded in mystery.
27:03But it's possible that it comes from a French word that came over with the Norman Conquerors,
27:07which is a gerbe.
27:08And that was their word.
27:09It still is, actually, for a sheaf or a bundle of cereal stalks that are tied together
27:15and then ready for threshing.
27:16And maybe the idea of threshing or sifting out waste material came from there.
27:21And it was only in the Elizabethan Times when the pamphleteer called Thomas Nash started
27:27to broaden the meaning a little bit.
27:30And he warned booksellers and stationers to avoid letting their shops be infected with
27:34any such goose giblets or stinking garbage as the jigs of newsmongers.
27:40In other words, don't believe everything that you read, which is a fair warning for today,
27:45too, probably.
27:46But for all of those who insist that garbage, like trash, is, in fact, American in origin,
27:51neither of those words are.
27:53Trash was also used by Shakespeare.
27:55It's very firmly British before it went over to America.
28:00And as I say, it meant something very, very different.
28:02Oh, well done.
28:09I love the picture of a rooster who's tied to and then cooked with a pig.
28:15Yes.
28:16I mean, there are all sorts of things.
28:17Odd idea.
28:18These days, isn't there?
28:19All sorts of birds that are cooked inside another bird.
28:21Well, yeah, yeah.
28:22This is an early version.
28:23Amazing.
28:2585 to 58.
28:26Toby in the lead.
28:27Maxim, your letters game.

29:39I'm going to go a risky seven.
29:44Toby.
29:45Six.
29:46Now then, your six.
29:48Bovine.
29:49Bovine.
29:50Let's see what sort of risk you're going to take.
29:52Again, probably quite a big risk.
29:54Banjoed.
29:54Oh.
29:55We're just debating that one here.
29:57Oh, really?
29:57Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's there as a verb, but it's not, unfortunately.
30:00Just as a noun.
30:01Sorry.
30:01I'm not having much luck today.
30:03All right.
30:0491 to 58.
30:05In we go.
30:05Final letters game.

31:01Mm, Toby?
31:17Seven.
31:18Maxim?
31:19Just a six.
31:20And that six?
31:22Weighted.
31:23Weighted and Toby?
31:25Wasted.
31:26And wasted.
31:28Yes, as in short-waisted, shirt-waisted.
31:30Yeah, sure.
31:31Yeah.
31:33Chris and Susie?
31:35Wasted for seven years, and side cut.
31:40Side cut is a curve in the side of a ski or a snowboard.
31:43It allows it to turn more smoothly.
31:45Yes, indeed.
31:4798 to 58.
31:48Good score there, Toby.
31:49As we go into the final numbers game, Maxim?
31:52I'll have a bit of a change.
31:53Can I go for a four at a top?
31:56And then two at a bottom, please.
31:57You can indeed.
31:58Two little.
31:58Thank you, Maxim.
31:59Last one of the day.
32:00Let's see how hard it is.
32:01Eight and three.
32:03And then, as we know, 25, 75, 50, and 100.
32:08And the target, 371.
32:11Three, seven, one.
32:15And then, as we go to the next episode, we'll be right back.
32:19And then, as we go to the next episode, we'll be right back.
32:24Bye.
32:24Maxim.
32:44So, we've got it.
32:453-7-1, yeah.
32:47Toby.
32:483-7-2.
32:50So, Maxim.
32:51OK, 100 times 3.
32:53300.
32:54300.
32:54Add to 75.
32:563-7-5.
32:5850 divided by 25 is 2.
33:00Here it is.
33:01And then 8 divided by the 2 is 4.
33:04Well done.
33:04And then take that away.
33:053-7-1, perfect.
33:05Fingers crossed.
33:06Well done.
33:11Well done, Maxim.
33:13Up to 68 to Toby's 98 as we go into the final round.
33:16Gentlemen, fingers on buzzers.
33:18Good luck to you both.
33:19Let's roll today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:22According to Murphy's 98.

33:27Are you looking for a game?
33:27Do you want to play with us?

34:11Thank you very much.
34:12Well done, indeed.
