00:30Hello, everybody. It's Friday the 3rd of July and Countdown is here once again to turn the world of letters
00:36and numbers upside down.
00:39So let's introduce, let me get this right, our mind flares in Dixonry Corner.
00:44It is our Susie Dent, John Coolshaw here all this week.
00:48And there'll be no waffle when it comes to the numbers with Rachel Riley.
00:53And that is me out. It's the anniversary of the release of Stranger Things 10 years ago this month.
01:00So a little WhatsApp message. Rachel, Susie, have you got this? You both assured me that you do.
01:05I mean, phenomenally successful.
01:08Oh, it's excellent. It's a really good thing to watch with, you know, with teenagers, for example, who absolutely adore
01:15it.
01:15It's brought so much music back, of course, running up that hill, Kate Bush, that scene in season four where
01:23somebody's released through the power of music.
01:25So Max's friends play that song to release the hold of Vecna.
01:28Yeah. And she's a proper super fan.
01:32Anyone else watching who has no idea what any of those words meant.
01:35Amazing.
01:36No, it's phenomenal.
01:38Yeah.
01:38Have you watched it, John?
01:40I've never seen a single episode.
01:42OK, but let's put it into perspective.
01:45It's the equivalent of you and I talking about, let's talk about the 80s and let's talk about the A
01:50-team.
01:51And I think one of the keys, Susie, is exactly that, that fact that, especially if you've got teenage daughters
01:56or sons, you can sit down and watch it with them.
01:58And it's one of those shows that spectacularly hits both generations.
02:02And they're precious because more and more, of course, with screen time, I know you're watching it on TV, but
02:07you know what I mean?
02:08Getting to sort of enjoy that joint thing.
02:10Collectively, don't they?
02:11Yeah, collectively together.
02:12Yeah.
02:12Well done on you for having at least half a fingernail on the pulse.
02:17Well done.
02:18Good stuff.
02:19And today, two strange things in the studio.
02:21I mean, that in a nice way, two strangers, because we're the first octo-champ of the series yesterday.
02:26So we'll start with Dave Smithson.
02:28How are you, sir?
02:29Very well, thank you, Colin.
02:30Good stuff.
02:31You join us from Cheshire, originally a Lancaster boy.
02:35Yes, born in Lancaster.
02:36And you love your motorsport.
02:37And in fact, of course, today's show's at a different time because of the British Grand Prix.
02:43You marshaled motorsport.
02:44Have you ever managed to do at Silverstone?
02:47Yes, I marshaled four Grand Prix's at Silverstone.
02:49Wow.
02:50A couple overseas as well.
02:51Well, listen, riding shotgun beside you today.
02:53No champion or challenger, just two different chairs.
02:57It's Sarah Sharkey, who joins us from Dublin.
03:00Yes, Dublin.
03:02Good, very good.
03:02Thank you, Colin.
03:03Good.
03:03You're a software engineer and sort of got involved with the company.
03:07My brother did this, you know, right at the start of their birth, if you like.
03:12And how's that going?
03:13Because it sounds really exciting.
03:14Yeah, it's been myself, the two founders and one or two others that started it.
03:18And now we're at about 30 people.
03:21So it's just been really cool to see it grow in terms of lines of code, number of people in
03:25all directions.
03:26It's been really cool.
03:27Well, let's see if you can crack the code of Dave Smithson over the next 15 rounds of letters and
03:32numbers.
03:33Sarah, Dave, best of luck to both of you.
03:37OK, Dave, we're going to get us under way this Friday afternoon.
03:41Thank you, Colin.
03:41Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
03:44Thank you, Dave.
03:44Start today with P.
03:47And another consonant.
03:49L.
03:50And a third, please.
03:52S.
03:53And a fourth.
03:55M.
03:56And a vowel.
03:57A.
03:58Another vowel, please.
04:00E.
04:01Another vowel, please.
04:02O.
04:04Consonant, please.
04:05C.
04:06And a final consonant.
04:08And a final N.
04:10That's all, Amanda, in the studio.
04:11Let's play Countdown.
04:14MUSIC PLAYS
04:43Dave.
04:43Six.
04:44Six for you and Sarah.
04:46I think a six.
04:47Dave, what's your six?
04:48Sample.
04:49And what are you thinking, Sarah?
04:51I'm not sure if the spelling is correct.
04:52Solace.
04:53How are you spelling it?
04:54S-O-L-A-C-E.
04:56Perfect.
04:56Yeah, very good indeed.
04:58Well done.
04:58Six points each.
04:59How are we getting on Dictionary Corner?
05:00Well, Susie delivered a rather fascinating eight over this side.
05:05Yeah.
05:05And I'd love to know what this is.
05:07Something very outlandish, I'm sure.
05:09Neoplasm.
05:10Neoplasm.
05:11I think it might be from Stranger Things.
05:13Let's find out.
05:13Yes, I know.
05:13You would think that.
05:14It's actually, you don't really want this, because it's the abnormal growth of tissue in
05:18the body.
05:18Oh, no.
05:19So, yeah.
05:20All right, Sarah, you're picking these letters.
05:22I guarantee you all of them will be in the alphabet.
05:25Good afternoon, Rachel.
05:26Good afternoon, Sarah.
05:27Could I have a consonant, please?
05:28You can, indeed.
05:30G.
05:31And another.
05:33R.
05:34And another.
05:36D.
05:37And a vowel, please.
05:39E.
05:41And another.
05:42O.
05:43And another.
05:44E.
05:46And a consonant, please.
05:48S.
05:50And a vowel.
05:52A.
05:54And a final consonant, please.
05:57A final H.
05:59Thanks, Rich.
06:31That's time, Sarah.
06:32Seven.
06:34And Dave?
06:35Just the six.
06:36The sixes?
06:37Shades.
06:38Shades.
06:39And Sarah for seven?
06:40Greased.
06:41Greased!
06:42Dave just realised there's only one S for shades,
06:45but greased, very good indeed for seven.
06:47Yeah, well spotted indeed.
06:48Lightning, what else?
06:50Fascinating eight emerged once again.
06:52Yeah.
06:53And is this allowed?
06:55A saw head?
06:56Yes, a saw head is a grump.
06:59Essentially, in US English.
07:02Don't be such a saw head.
07:03Nice one.
07:04And wonderfully in there.
07:07All right, let's grease the wheels up a revolving board
07:10and do our first numbers.
07:11Dave?
07:11Could we have two from the top, please, Rachel,
07:14and four small ones?
07:15Indeed.
07:16Thank you, Dave.
07:16Two large, four small.
07:18First one of the day.
07:20Four.
07:21Four.
07:22Three.
07:23Two.
07:24And the large ones.
07:24Twenty-five.
07:25And fifty.
07:26And your target?
07:28Seven hundred and thirty-four.
07:29Seven, three, four.
07:30Numbers up.
07:33Seven, three, four.
07:35One, two, three, four.
07:35One, two, three, four.
07:39One, two, three, four.
07:47One, two, three, four.
07:48One, two, three, four.
07:48One, two, three, four.
07:48One, two, three, four.
07:48One, two, three, four.
07:49One, two, three, four.
08:02Tricky, 734 div.
08:03Didn't get there, Colin.
08:04Sarah?
08:05Yeah, no, I lost it.
08:06Shall we go to our last hope?
08:07Rachel?
08:08Well, if you say 50 minus 3 is 47,
08:1347 times 4 is 188.
08:18Add on 2 for 190,
08:20times that by 4 for 760,
08:23and take away 25,
08:25you get to 735,
08:26but this was impossible,
08:28so one of the ways the best you could have done.
08:29That's still brilliant, though.
08:31APPLAUSE
08:33So there you go, two challengers.
08:35Looks like it's going to be close all the way
08:36as we get this Friday afternoon tea-time teaser,
08:39HOD Rules.
08:41HOD Rules, H-O-D.
08:42You can take the blame for the whole joint.
08:45You can take the blame for the whole joint.
08:48MUSIC
09:03Welcome back, everyone.
09:04Shoulder was your tea-time teaser.
09:06Two challengers today.
09:07No one had in shoulders above yet.
09:09Dave and Sarah, just seven points in it.
09:11Sarah in the lead and your letters.
09:12Could I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
09:15Thank you, Sarah.
09:16G.
09:17And another.
09:18T.
09:20And a third.
09:21W.
09:23And a vowel, please.
09:25U.
09:25And another.
09:27E.
09:28And a third.
09:30O.
09:31And a consonant, please.
09:34S.
09:35And a vowel, please.
09:38E.
09:40And a final consonant, please?
09:44A final T.
09:46Here we go again.
09:48E.
09:48E.
09:52E.
10:18Sarah?
10:19Six.
10:19And Dave?
10:20I'm going to try a seven.
10:22OK, that would draw your level, Sarah, the six.
10:25Outset.
10:26It could count, let's find out.
10:28Stew out?
10:29Like a cook out.
10:31Not there, I'm afraid.
10:33I'm sorry.
10:34Sorry, Dave.
10:34I like the idea of a stew out.
10:36Yes.
10:39Stew's out for summer, though.
10:40Anything else?
10:42Gusto was there for five.
10:44We had a stew out with Gusto.
10:48So Sarah extends her lead and Dave picks these letters.
10:52Consonant, please, Rachel.
10:53Thank you, Dave.
10:55K.
10:56Another consonant.
10:58Q.
10:59And another, please.
11:01T.
11:02A vowel, please.
11:04A.
11:05Another vowel, please.
11:06O.
11:07Another vowel, please.
11:10I.
11:11And another consonant.
11:14S.
11:15Another consonant.
11:17N.
11:18And a final vowel, please.
11:21A final E.
11:2330 seconds.
11:2630 seconds.
11:55A few testers.
11:56Today, I'm telling you. How did you get on, Dave? Only five. Yeah. And Sarah? Six. Six. There you go.
12:03Dave, what's the five? Stink. Stink. It's an apt word for both of us here. Sarah? Atones. Atones, yes. Very
12:13nice. We've got a shark here. I've got a snake here. But can you do better than a six? A
12:21couple of sevens emerged over this end. Intakes there for seven. Yes.
12:25And a lovely one, oakyest. Oh, yes. Oh, nice Sunday night. You and me, finger o' whiskey. Yeah, oakyest. Perfect.
12:3425 points now to Sarah. Six to Dave. Long way to go. Sarah, now you should be good at numbers.
12:40You look at them enough. So let's see how you get on with them.
12:43Could I get one big, please, Rachel? One big, five little. Yes. Simple as coming up. And the five small
12:51ones for this round are four, nine, ten, four and two.
12:57And the large one, 25. And the target, 282. 282. Numbers up.
13:02And the target, 282.
13:33282 is what we're looking for, Sarah. Yeah, 282. And for you, Dave? 282. Off you go, Sarah.
13:39So 25 plus four. 29. Times 10. 290. And then four times two. Eight. And take it away.
13:48Ten points. Brilliant. Paper incoming, I think. Same way.
13:54Yeah. Well done. Ten points. Eight.
13:59So there we go. 35 plus 16 as we head to Dictionary Corner for our last chat of the week
14:05with John Colshaw.
14:06And we have the World Cup going on. We have, it's one of those quintessential summer weekends.
14:11We've got the British Grand Prix. And of course, we'll chuck in there for good measure.
14:16Wimbledon, of course, which we're in the midst of.
14:20Yes. All sports have the major characters that we all go for.
14:24Probably in tennis, I think, perhaps the most recognisable character voice.
14:29It's got to be Andy Murray. Yeah.
14:31And he's appealing in many, many ways. He's got a, I love his dry sense of humour.
14:36But when he's not being interviewed, when he's off duty, he's got this lovely, you know, mischievous,
14:41wry sense of humour, which is really quite, you know, delightful.
14:47But my favourite aspect of him, this may be, might even be a routine he would think of himself,
14:52is the idea that you get two different emotional settings with Andy Murray.
14:58And the first one might be, that was a really tough game.
15:01That was a really, you'd feel the growl on the back of the boys there like that,
15:05quite monotone in one sort of place. That was a really tough match.
15:09I've got to give credit to Djokovic. He played like a machine to be involved in a match like that.
15:13It's a great honour, but to be on the losing side of it, that's a really tough thing to take.
15:18As opposed to the other kind of Andy Murray.
15:20I have just won Wimbledon for the second time.
15:24I am ecstatic.
15:27Doesn't it make it better, though, those moments where winning and losing big games,
15:32where you saw that emotion, and it just felt so real every time.
15:37And I'll never forget that 2013 victory that he had,
15:39where Djokovic was very machine-like and precise, almost powered by AI, you could imagine.
15:45But Andy really pulled something very visceral out in a very dedicated and determined way.
15:51And, wow, when he did it, well, it lives on.
15:55And what a family, what Jamie Murray achieved, and doubles,
15:58and, of course, I've left the best, the last, Judy Murray.
16:02So important not just to them, but the British tennis as well.
16:06Must be something in the surname.
16:08Must be.
16:09There was a lovely line in Dead Ringers when Jan Ravens impersonated Judy Murray.
16:13Yeah.
16:14And she said, what's that?
16:15Why are I being a national treasure?
16:17All those times when I was staring in the back of your head till you got a nosebleed.
16:22Fantastic.
16:22Thank you, mate.
16:23Well served.
16:25OK, back to the game.
16:29Dave, you're going to pick these letters, mate.
16:30Yeah.
16:31A consonant, please, Rachel.
16:32Thank you, Dave.
16:34R.
16:34And another one, please.
16:36M.
16:37And another one, please.
16:39P.
16:40A vowel.
16:41O.
16:42Another vowel, please.
16:44I.
16:45Another vowel, please.
16:46U.
16:47A consonant, please.
16:50N.
16:51Another consonant.
16:53H.
16:54And a final vowel.
16:57Final E.
16:59Let's start that clock.
17:30Okay, Dave.
17:31I've only got a five.
17:32That's okay.
17:33There's nothing wrong with that, Sarah.
17:34I think I'll risk a seven.
17:36You're going to risk a seven, Dave, the five.
17:38Phone.
17:39Every time Sarah says you're going to risk a word, it's in the dictionary.
17:42Let's find out, Sarah.
17:44Unprime.
17:45Ooh.
17:47Unprimed is in, but not unprimed.
17:50I'm sorry, Sarah.
17:51There you go.
17:51A felt borderline.
17:52So, Dave, that just a five becomes just a lifeline.
17:55Well done to you.
17:56So, what was in there?
17:58Five and above, please.
17:59J, C and S, D.
18:00Morphine was there for eight.
18:02Morphine was there.
18:03All right.
18:03I'll not be a drip.
18:04I'll just move on and get more letters from Sarah.
18:06Can I get a consonant, please, Rachel?
18:08Thank you, Sarah.
18:09P.
18:10And another.
18:12J.
18:13And a third.
18:15T.
18:16And a fourth.
18:19D.
18:20And a vowel.
18:21O.
18:22And another.
18:24I.
18:25And another.
18:27E.
18:28And a fourth.
18:30A.
18:32And a final consonant, please.
18:34And a final.
18:35B.
18:35Seconds out.
18:36And a ninth.
18:47All right.
18:48And a third.
19:07OK, Sarah? Six. And Dave?
19:10I've only got a five. I think it's wrong, anyway.
19:12Well, listen, last time I counted, so let's see what happens.
19:14What's the five that you think's wrong?
19:16Jotted. And for Sarah?
19:18Boated. And boated, probably shouldn't have jotted down,
19:22jotted with one T. No, you do need the double T, I'm afraid.
19:25Sorry, Dave. But we're sailing with boated, all good.
19:28Yes, absolutely fine. All right, so six is, yeah,
19:31kind of impressive with this, but can you get above it?
19:33There was a seven there, opiated.
19:36Opiated. Opiated, yeah.
19:38Yep, and that morphine.
19:39All right, 20 points in it, but these numbers make all the difference, Dave.
19:43Ten points possible as you pick them.
19:45OK, we have three large ones, please, Rachel.
19:47I like your style. A little bit of a gamble here.
19:50Three large, three little.
19:52Your small numbers, three, eight and six and a large.
19:5725, 50 and 75, the all-important target.
20:02272. 272, numbers up.
20:06272, numbers up.
20:07272, numbers up.
20:15272, number one.
20:16273, numbers up.
20:17274, numbers up.
20:2025,000 people up.
20:23285, numbers up.
20:27286, numbers up.
20:34We're looking for 272, Dave.
20:38273.
20:39Just one away.
20:41No need to shake that head.
20:43And for you, Sarah?
20:44Yeah, 272.
20:45272.
20:46You've nailed it for 10 points.
20:47Off you go.
20:4850 times 6.
20:50300.
20:51Minus 25, minus 3.
20:53Well done.
20:54272.
20:54Nice.
20:55Well done.
20:57There you go.
20:58Sarah's leave goes out to 30.
21:01But a couple of pit stops and you never know what could happen in the home street.
21:04Let's get this tea time teaser.
21:06It's chew sods.
21:07Chew sods.
21:08After chewing their sods, they return to these.
21:11After chewing their sods, they return to these.
21:21MUSIC PLAYS
21:29Welcome back.
21:30Yes, our last tea time teaser of the week.
21:31The cows are in the cow sheds after having their sod.
21:35And we're getting back to our game.
21:36Who's getting put out the greys?
21:38Dave or Sarah?
21:4030 points in it.
21:41Sarah's winning and choosing these letters.
21:43Can I get a consonant, please?
21:44Thank you, Sarah.
21:47V.
21:47And another.
21:49S.
21:50And a third.
21:52L.
21:53And a vowel.
21:55I.
21:56And another.
21:57O.
21:58And a third.
22:00E.
22:02And a consonant.
22:04D.
22:10And a final consonant, please.
22:12And a final N.
22:14And good luck.
22:15MUSIC PLAYS
22:46OK, Sarah Sharkey, how many?
22:48I think I'll risk a seven.
22:50And Dave Smithson? Seven.
22:51Seven as well. Sarah, what have you got?
22:54Divines.
22:55And for you, Dave?
22:57Violins.
22:58Violins, fantastic.
22:59But do we need to get the violins out for Sarah here?
23:02Well, the divine is the capital D,
23:05but there is a sense of divine as a cleric or theologian,
23:08and you can put the S on. Well done.
23:09There you go. Seven points each.
23:11What can we add in there?
23:12There's an eight there.
23:13Maybe violins gives us a little clue to take us to visioned.
23:17Oh, nice. Well spotted indeed.
23:20An eight there, but two fantastic sevens as we get back to it and Dave.
23:24Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
23:26Thank you, Dave.
23:26And another one, please.
23:29C.
23:30And a third.
23:32S.
23:33A vowel, please.
23:35A.
23:36Another vowel, please.
23:38I.
23:39Another vowel, please.
23:40E.
23:41A consonant.
23:43R.
23:44Another consonant.
23:46P.
23:47And a final consonant, please.
23:49Final R.
23:50Let's play.
23:53Let's play.
24:23Dave? Six. Six for you. And Sarah? Seven. Seven. What's the six, Dave? Praise. She's on fire now, isn't she?
24:31Sarah? Carries. Carries. Very good indeed. Could carry her home to a teapot. That gap is widening out with four
24:38rounds left. John, how did you get on? Repairs was there for a seven. But also, on from yours, Sarah,
24:46Carriers was there for an eight. Carriers, yes, that would have been eight. All important seven for Sarah.
24:52And her last origins of words of the week. Susie, who's been talking to you? Neil from Oldham. Hello, Neil.
24:58He's been wondering whether the term earwig does, in fact, relate to the old idea that the earwig burrows into
25:05your ear and lays eggs in there. And does the wig part also relate to a wig as a hairpiece
25:11or the verb to wiggle like an insect?
25:14And it's a great question. The earwig must be one of nature's most maligned insects, I think. They are small
25:20and they are harmless and they are lumbered with an unfair history because that is absolutely superstition, that the earwig
25:27will crawl into your ear and get up to all sorts of mischief.
25:32It's not true. It's not true. They do prefer dark and moist places, but normally under kind of leaves and
25:37rocks. They don't like human ears. Well, not usually, anyway.
25:41But the superstition led to that very name earwig because the wig bit, nothing to do with hairpieces, and it's
25:48from an old Germanic word, a wicker, which probably is related to wiggle.
25:53So, it is an insect that moves very, very fast and wiggles, which is partly why we feel a bit
25:57scared of them. So, the earwig is literally the ear wiggler.
26:01And, as I say, that's why we imagined all sorts of horrible things. And this mythology, really, was absolutely widespread.
26:07So, the French call the earwig the pech's oreille, the ear piercer.
26:11The Russians call it an ear turner, Rachel. I think it's ughavirska. Yes. So, it kind of does, maybe turns
26:18around in your ears.
26:19And the Germans, guess what the Germans call it? An oerwurm, an earworm. Yes.
26:26And across Europe, we now call an earworm, obviously, some piece of music that gets into your ear and won't
26:32come out, much as the earwig was said to do.
26:37But then, there's a kind of slightly delightful extension to all of this, because people began to think of whispering
26:43or gossiping as having a bit of a sort of earwig.
26:46To earwig someone is to, you know, to just sort of almost have a quiet chat into their ear, to
26:53whisper into their ear and deliver secrets.
26:55So, I think that's quite a sort of nice add-on to the story, as I say, of a much
27:01maligned insect.
27:02Although, I think an earwigger is also a bit of an eavesdropper. But it's a kind of, I don't know,
27:07I feel very sorry for this gorgeous insect that does look a little bit scary,
27:11but that has, as I say, carry something which is deeply unfair, because it doesn't live up to its name.
27:16I'll think of them now as just little wigglers, good dancers. That's what I'll think of now.
27:20Exactly.
27:21Thank you very much, Susie.
27:22You're welcome.
27:25Nice one that to finish the week, as we get back to our game four rounds this seal of the
27:30day.
27:30It's looking very lightly, Sarah, as you pick these letters.
27:33Can I get a consonant, please?
27:35Thank you, Sarah.
27:36D.
27:37And another.
27:39M.
27:40And a third.
27:42S.
27:44And a vowel, please.
27:46A.
27:47And a third.
27:48Sorry, second.
27:49I.
27:50And a third.
27:51E.
27:53And a consonant, please.
27:55D.
27:57And a vowel.
27:59A.
28:00And a final consonant, please.
28:02And a final R.
28:04And kite down.
28:05I.
28:06I.
28:36And that is time. Sarah?
28:38I'll stick with the six.
28:39Six for you. And Dave?
28:41Six as well.
28:42Excellent stuff. Sarah, what you got?
28:44Madder.
28:45Dave?
28:45Dreams.
28:47Madder dreams. We don't want to be having any of those.
28:49But did you dream up a seven?
28:51Well, indeed, indeed.
28:52Susie came up with the seven and followed on by an eight sidearm.
28:57It was there for seven.
28:58And then disarmed for an eight.
29:01Lovely. The eight can take care of the seven.
29:03And as we get our final letters of the day, let's enjoy every single round here, Dave.
29:08Off you go.
29:10Consonant, please, Rachel.
29:11Thank you, Dave.
29:12G.
29:13And the second.
29:15F.
29:15And the third, please.
29:17T.
29:17Vowel, please.
29:19I.
29:20Another vowel, please.
29:22I.
29:23Another vowel, please.
29:24U.
29:25Another consonant.
29:27L.
29:28Another consonant.
29:30F.
29:32And another vowel, please.
29:34Bit of a challenge.
29:36A final O.
29:37Last letters.
30:09Hi, Dave. Five. Yeah, and Sarah? A four. A four? What's the four? Gift. Come on, Dave, here we go.
30:16Flout? Yes. All right, no need to rub it in. Nice five. Well done. Points on the board. It's your
30:24last letters of this week, John. Nothing more than five. Guilt was there for another five, but that's as much
30:29as we got. Stinker of around. Hopefully the last numbers are a little bit better of this week. Sarah? Could
30:35I get four big and two small for a bit of fun?
30:38You can indeed. That's my kind of fun. Just before the weekend. The old four large, two small. And they
30:44are eight, three, 75, 100, 50 and 25. And the target? 272 again.
30:52272. Last numbers.
30:5724.
30:5825.
30:5826.
30:5826.
30:5926.
30:5927.
31:0027.
31:0226.
31:0327.
31:0427.
31:0428.
31:0927.
31:1428.
31:1428.
31:1528.
31:1528.
31:1829.
31:24OK, looking for 272 to finish, Sarah.
31:27273, not fully written down.
31:29Missed a buy one, Dave.
31:31271.
31:31The other way.
31:32All right, off you go, Sarah, for seven.
31:35100 minus 8.
31:37100 minus 8, 92.
31:39Times 3.
31:41Times 3, 276.
31:44Then 75 plus 50.
31:46125.
31:49Oh, I just realised I got 271.
31:53So, Dave.
31:55So, I've done 3 times 100.
31:573 times 100.
31:59300.
32:00Minus 25.
32:02275.
32:02275.
32:03Then 100 over 50.
32:04Yep.
32:05Leads at 2.
32:068 divided by 2.
32:07Take the 4.
32:08Sorry, it is 4.
32:10And then take the 4 off 275 for 271.
32:13271, yep.
32:14Yeah, there you go.
32:16Rachel, just simplify this for us.
32:18Yeah, a few variations on the theme.
32:2150 divided by 25 is 2.
32:24Times by 100 is 200.
32:27Add 2...
32:28At the 75, rather.
32:30Take the 3, 2, 7, 2.
32:31Yeah, very well done.
32:33APPLAUSE
32:35But, Dave, you've been huffing and puffing over there, right, for two-thirds of this show.
32:40And I wish you'd have settled in a little earlier.
32:42But look at this.
32:43Sitting in 46, you get the conundrum.
32:46You've done your half-century.
32:47You know, it's unbelievable.
32:48It all comes together in the end.
32:51Sarah, you've been able just to sit back and enjoy the old lap of honour.
32:54But getting your first conundrum is a big thing.
32:56So let's get the fingers on the buzzers this Friday afternoon.
32:59And let's reveal that countdown conundrum.
33:06Dave?
33:07Asparagus.
33:08Hey, let's have a look!
33:11Yeah!
33:14I could not get past a dinosaur when I was looking at it.
33:17It just looked like a type of dinosaur.
33:19Well, look, you came strong at the end.
33:22So a little bit of sort of, you know, relief from that, but also frustration,
33:27because it just took you a while to get going.
33:28You know, those early nerves do catch you out a little bit sometimes.
33:32And a couple of them, you think, oh, no, I shouldn't have seen that.
33:35But, you know, well done, Sarah.
33:37Yes.
33:37We will see you on Monday with a new Dictionary Corner guest.
33:41It won't be John Coulshaw, but lovely having one of the fam back.
33:44Oh, lovely.
33:45Always a joy to be here.
33:46Thank you for your hospitality.
33:48Good stuff.
33:48No impressions, please, Susie.
33:49I'll just see you on Monday, OK?
33:50You are welcome.
33:52Enjoy your weekend, Rach.
33:53And so far, Series 94 has only had female champions.
33:56Just putting it out there.
33:57Yes, absolutely, Rachel.
33:59Let's see how long that continues with Sarah.
34:02An exciting weekend.
