00:31Good afternoon and welcome to Countdown.
00:33Now, as the song goes, everybody needs good neighbours,
00:35though clearly not everyone has them,
00:38as 10 million of you experienced some kind of next-door dilemma
00:44in the last year alone.
00:46Hi, Rachel.
00:47Hi, Jeff.
00:48What do you think the top five causes of rows between neighbours are?
00:53I've got a list of them here.
00:54OK, it's got to be something like your hedges over my bit or...
00:59No, noisy?
01:00I suppose, yeah, OK, poor upkeep of gardens, that would count as hedges.
01:04Being noisy, particularly, obviously, late at night or indeed early in the morning.
01:09Steal your mail.
01:10Steal your mail?
01:11What sort of neighbours have you got, for goodness sake?
01:15No, stealing your parking place in the road, that's one.
01:19Being nosy or interfering is another.
01:22Noisy children, balls coming over fences.
01:25Oh, we have that, but only because of the cats.
01:28I'm not a very good shot.
01:29I just keep lobbing them next door.
01:31The kids come round to get their balls and I go round to get mine.
01:36So you keep lobbing your cats next door?
01:38No.
01:38The RSPCA being formed.
01:40They like bouncy balls, so I just get a bit vigorous with my bounce.
01:43Oh, I see.
01:43Over-vigorous.
01:44Thanks.
01:46OK, let's meet our contestants today, shall we?
01:49They don't need to be over-vigorous, not for the next 40 minutes or so.
01:52First of all, our returning champion is Nikki Roberts.
01:55Nikki made an impressive debut.
01:56Good win over Wayne Chadwick.
01:57She's a housewife from Whitford in Hertfordshire.
02:02Established in the last show that she enjoys going on Twitter.
02:05What sort of things do you write about when you're on Twitter, Nikki?
02:08A lot of the time it's communal watching the television programme.
02:12X Factor is a popular one.
02:14Question Time gets a lot of the political jokes out.
02:18And, yeah, Twitter's one of those things that the more you give into it,
02:21the more you get out of it, and it depends on who you follow.
02:24It's interesting.
02:25It sort of divides people, doesn't it, Twitter?
02:27Some people love it.
02:27And some people hate it.
02:29OK.
02:30Nikki's our returning champion.
02:31Up against Nikki today is June McGregor.
02:32June's from Swindon in Wiltshire.
02:34She's a receptionist-cum-administrator for Relate.
02:37She likes gardening and going on guided walks, which is fine.
02:41But she also likes listening and dancing to live rock music.
02:45I'd say so.
02:46Don't be afraid so.
02:47Why not?
02:48Any particular live bands you like?
02:50We have a lot of tribute bands in our local pub.
02:53Just general, easy listening, dancing.
02:56Just like letting yourself go.
02:57Yes.
02:58OK.
03:00June, you say your favourite place is Tenerife.
03:02Yes.
03:02Can you speak the language?
03:05I've had Spanish classes for two years.
03:07I'm getting there.
03:08Getting there?
03:08Yes.
03:09Oh, that's really good.
03:09Very impressive that you're trying, at least, which is great.
03:13June McGregor, our challenger against our champion, Nikki Roberts.
03:20And in Dictionary Corner, for the final time this week, sitting alongside Susie Dent, please welcome Annika Rice.
03:31Look, we love having everybody here, young and old, in the Countdown audience.
03:36Today's a bit special.
03:37I just want to say hello to a gentleman in our audience today.
03:42There he is, in the front row.
03:43Well, Leslie Roberts.
03:45And Leslie, I should tell you, on his next birthday, will be 101 years old.
03:52How about that?
04:01And did you notice that Leslie's sitting on the front row there, and everybody else on the front row is
04:05a girl?
04:08Once you've got it, Leslie, you never lose it, do you?
04:12Lovely to see you.
04:13Let's press on with the contest, shall we?
04:14And Nikki's our champion, as such.
04:16She gets first pick.
04:17Off you go, Nikki.

05:39Six apiece, very good.
05:41Annika, Susie, were there any alternatives?
05:43Pewter, which is six.
05:46Yes, alternative six, but couldn't get beyond, I'm afraid.
05:48Absolutely not.
05:49We all love poetry.

07:19Outages, power cuts, yes.
07:20That's an excellent seven.
07:21Well done.
07:22Yes, it is.
07:22It's a good old countdown word as well, isn't it?
07:25Outages keeps popping up.
07:27Is seven as good as it gets?
07:28Have you got anything more?
07:29It's as good as it got for me, but you've got a goodie.
07:32There is an eight there.
07:33It's not hyphenated, and it's a lovely word.
07:35Soulmate.
07:36Thank you very much indeed.
07:38Nicky on 13, just nudges ahead.

09:00Unfortunately, teasers has to be with the two S's.
09:03I can absolutely see where you're coming from.
09:04In fact, in Old English, sometimes it was used with a Z, but not today, I'm afraid.
09:09Sorry.
09:10Heavens is great for seven.
09:13Annika, Susie, is there anything else?
09:14We can squeeze in a seventh for seventh Heavens.

10:53Ah, OK, that form of maltars.
10:54Moulters, things that malt. Let's see.
11:00It's not in that sense, I'm afraid.
11:03People who shed hair, bad luck.
11:05So, Mouser, it is for six.
11:07Mouser, yes, a cat. Very well done.

12:29MUSIC CONTINUES
13:02MUSIC CONTINUES
13:07So, Nicky moves on to 30, and June has 12.
13:10We've got a couple of minutes just to sit back and relax now,
13:12because we're off to Dictionary Corner.
13:14Annika Rice has been our guest all this week.
13:16I think some people were shocked, Annika, you know,
13:19when I think it was 1994, and you're absolutely at the peak of your powers
13:23in television terms, really, that you've decided pretty much
13:26to call it the day for a while and go off and do something else.
13:28I just never saw my children.
13:30It was breaking my heart, and they were about sort of three and four,
13:32so I just literally went in and said to the controller of BBC One then,
13:37I'm just going to take a sabbatical, and I literally stopped from, you know,
13:40yeah, I just gave up that sort of Saturday night BBC One thing
13:43and went to art school and painted, and I've sort of been doing that ever since.
13:48And I've had some hilarious adventures, really, with my painting.
13:52I was painting in Norfolk during the summer,
13:54and I decided to go and paint on this lovely island,
13:56and there's a ferry that takes you out there,
13:59and then because of the problems with the tides,
14:00it has to wait until the end of the day to take you back again.
14:03So I set off and set up my easel at this very, very quiet private bit,
14:07which I thought only I knew about.
14:09And I'd just set up my easel, and I was just looking at the view,
14:12and then to my horror, a young, amorous couple came and set up a rug
14:17about ten feet in front of me, but they didn't see me there,
14:21because they were facing the sun, which was ahead of me.
14:25And I was paralysed, because I'd left it too long to go, hello.
14:29So I'm literally there with a brush, and all sorts of things take place.
14:33And I'm sort of edging behind this bush, thinking, well, I'll just keep quiet,
14:37and they'll never know.
14:38And I was literally like this, because I just didn't want to see anything.
14:40And then the ferryman came to take us all back again,
14:43and they packed up all their stuff.
14:46But they'd have known I was watching if I'd followed them.
14:48So I stayed on the island and missed the ferry,
14:50and had to actually ring up a friend who'd come out in a speedboat
14:54to come and collect me later, because I was so traumatised.
14:57So I spent the whole afternoon, I didn't paint one bit of colour on my canvas,
15:01I was hiding behind a bramble bush.
15:04Anyway, but mostly, you know, the joy of taking your paints outside
15:08is just glorious, you know, fabulous hobby to have.
15:12Brilliant. Thanks very much indeed, Annika.
15:14Nick, you're on 30 then at the moment.
15:16June is on 12.
15:18Here's your first teaser this Friday.
15:19The words are too plain, too plain.
15:22And the clue, if it's too plain, you can add some extras.
15:25The choice is yours.
15:26If it's too plain, you can add some extras.
15:28The choice is yours.
15:45If it's too plain, you can add some extras.
15:47The choice is yours.
15:49Optional is the word we're looking for in our first teaser of the day.
15:52And Nicky Roberts is our returning champion.
15:54Going along very nicely at the moment.
15:55She's got 30.
15:57Our challenge is June McGregor.
15:58She has 12.

22:15OK.
22:15June, what's the six?
22:16Grills.
22:17And the seven, Nicky?
22:19Jurasol.
22:20Yes, you spell it without the final E. You can have it with or without the E. Yes, fantastic.
22:24It's the root of the term Jerusalem artichoke, and it's the American term for that. Well done.
22:29And June, you got grills, did you do?
22:32Yes.
22:32Gorillas.
22:33So close, wasn't it? I spotted that one.
22:37Well done.
22:38Gorillas is an excellent parade. Was that as good as it gets, Ace?
22:41Yes.
22:42OK.
22:44Straight back to Dictionary Corner. Origins of Words time for the final time this week. Susie, it's all yours.
22:48Well, I know in the past, Jeff, you've liked it when I've given you some insults that you might be
22:53able to use,
22:54and some of the most evocative words in the dictionary are, in fact, insulting.
22:57I'm going to give you just a selection of some, very old, very new, and see if you can maybe
23:04fit them into your armoury and use them.
23:06If you, in America, are a coarse or dull-witted person, you may be known as an apple knocker.
23:13Shakespeare calls an adulterer a bed-swerver, which is quite simple.
23:17That's brilliant.
23:18A country person, in some dialects, is a chore bacon. I like that one.
23:24A wonk, today, is a serious or studious person, usually a bit of a geek.
23:28And finally, another one that I like, probably because it describes myself, and that is a two-pot screamer,
23:33which, in Australia, is a person who gets drunk on a comparatively small amount of alcohol.
23:41APPLAUSE
23:44Susie, Susie, Susie, you're now two-pot screamer, one-pot screamer.
23:49OK. I thought you were going to say something worse.
23:54Nicky, you're 49, then. June on 24.
23:58Time for another numbers round now. June, it's you to pick the numbers this time.
24:01One large, five small, please, Rachel.
24:03Thank you, June. One from the top. And five small again.
24:07And for this round, the selection is four, ten, seven, six, one.
24:15And the large one this time, 100.
24:17And the target, 905.
24:2030 seconds, then, to reach 905.
24:22The price of the killing, 905.
24:24The price of the killing, 905.
24:29One, two, three, four, five.
24:29The price of the killing is five, five.
24:53Looking for 9.05 then.
24:55Nicky, how close?
24:569.05.
24:57And June?
24:579.05.
24:58OK, Nicky, let's hear yours, please, this time.
25:0110 minus 1 is 9.
25:02Yep.
25:04Multiply by 100.
25:059.00.
25:067 minus 6 is another 1.
25:07It is indeed.
25:09And add that to the 4 and add it on.
25:119.05, all done.
25:12Very good.
25:13June, was it the same method?
25:14Similar.
25:16100 times...
25:1610 minus 1 is 9.
25:1810 minus 1 is 9.
25:1910 times 100 is 900.
25:21Yep.
25:226 minus 4 is 2.
25:256 minus 4 is 2.
25:277 minus 2 is 5.
25:28Yeah, same method.
25:30Brilliant.
25:31Add on.
25:31Lovely.
25:32Very well done.
25:37And Nicky's moved on to 59, and June has advanced to 34.
25:42Time for the final teaser of the week.
25:44The words this time are main polo.
25:46Main polo are the clue.
25:48You might see this horse at a main polo event.
25:51You might see this horse at a main polo event.
26:09If you might see this horse at a main polo event, Palomino is the type of horse in question.
26:14And Nicky Roberts is our returning champion.
26:16She's got 59 at the moment.
26:18But don't rule out our challenger, June McGregor, still in touch on 34.
26:22Nicky, it's your selection.
26:23Can I have a consonant, please, Rachel?
26:25Thank you, Nicky.

27:25June, how many?
27:27Just five.
27:28And Nicky?
27:29Seven.
27:30OK, June, what's the five?
27:31Coast.
27:32And your seven, Nicky?
27:34Actions.
27:34Very nice.
27:36Yes, very good indeed.
27:37Yeah.
27:37Actions for seven.
27:38What about Dixery Corner?
27:40What have we got over there?
27:41We've got a snowcat.
27:43Yes, the vehicle with the chactiles going over the snow.
27:47That's a seven.
27:48And a wainscot.
27:49Yes, it's a nice eight.
27:51See it on the pen cam there.
27:52An area of wooden panelling, even, on the lower part of the walls in a room.
28:03It's wainscot there for eight.
28:06But seven points takes Nicky along to 66, and June has 34.
28:11June, it's your selection.
28:13Start off with a vowel, please.
28:15Thank you, June.
28:16Rachel.

29:23A consonant.
29:23One.
29:25Nicky. Seven. And June? Eight. Okay, what's the seven, please, Nicky? Grindr. And the
29:32eight, June? Gingered. Oh. Okay. How's that? Yeah. Fantastic. Ginger is there as a verb
29:40to flavour with ginger, and it specifies gingered. Very well done.
29:49It's a smashing word, isn't it? Gingered. Brilliant. Nicky, 66, June's closed the gap.
29:54She's on 42. Nicky, it's your choice. Consonant, please, Rachel. Thank you, Nicky. N. And
30:01another. B. And another. T. And a vowel, please. U. And another. E.
30:14And a third. A. And a consonant, please. S. Another consonant. R. And a final vowel,
30:25please. And a final. E. And time starts now.
31:02June, how many? Seven. Dodgy. Dodgy seven. Okay. Nicky? Seven. Let's have yours,
31:09Nicky, please. Great. And your slightly dodgy seven, then, June? Barnets. Barnets. Barnets.
31:16Yeah. Barnets. Not dodgy at all. All risky. Very, very good, yes. We were, you know, bracing
31:21ourselves for something quite risky there. Turbans, I think, was as good as we got.
31:27Yes. Banters, Easton, quite a few sevens there. A few sevens. Nicky spotted one, so did
31:32June. Nicky moves along to 73. June has 49. And that brings us around to the final numbers
31:38round of the contest. June, it's you to pick them again. Playing safe, Rachel, please. One
31:42big and five small. Another one big and five small. Thank you, June. These five small ones
31:48for the last numbers game this week. And they are five, six, eight, ten, and two. And the large
31:57one for Leslie, 100. And the target, 819. 30 seconds to reach it.
32:03...
32:09...
32:18...
32:19...
32:20...
32:34Looking for 819 then in this final numbers round of the week.
32:38Nicky, how close?
32:39819.
32:40And June?
32:41818, I'm afraid.
32:42OK.
32:43Well, let's see the 819, please, Nicky.
32:45Eight times 100.
32:47800.
32:48Add the 10, the 6 and the 5.
32:5010, 6 and 5.
32:52821.
32:53And take away the 2.
32:54Well done.
32:54819.
33:00Yes, well done, Nicky.
33:02And those points move Nicky on to 83.
33:05June is on 49.
33:06And it's that stage of the programme where for the last time this week, I ask you to put your
33:10fingers on your buzzers, please.
33:13As we reveal today's Countdown Conundrum.
33:45And so our conundrum has defeated Nicky.
33:50And June on this occasion.
33:52Let's hand it to the Countdown audience, shall we?
33:54Anyone got any ideas?
33:56Yes, the lady right in the front row there.
33:58Rehydrate.
34:00Rehydrate.
34:00Let's take a look.
34:11Very good indeed.
34:12Well done.
34:13And well done to Nicky Roberts again.
34:15She has notched a second win.
34:17She's finished on 83.
34:19Congratulations to her.
34:20And our commiserations to June McGregor, who's put up a gallant effort and finished on 49.
34:26Uh, June, I love your ambition.
34:28You say to remain happy and healthy and retain your zest for life.
34:31You've got plenty of that, that's for sure.
34:32I hope you enjoyed it.
34:34I really, really enjoyed it.
34:35My brain just went to bush.
34:36It just wouldn't work here.
34:38It's lovely being here, but the brain went.
34:40I think you did pretty well.
34:41You came up with one of the words of the game and gingered as well, so take that away with
34:45you.
34:45Well done.
34:46And Nicky, two in a row, very nice.
34:48Yeah, nerves have settled down a bit now, so...
34:50Good.
34:50Very nice today.
34:51Well, it's nice to see you.
34:52We'll see you again on Monday, of course.
34:54Annika, fantastic to see you here all this week.
34:57And, of course, if ever you need any models for your painting...
35:01No, I was going to suggest it there.
35:05We need a very broad canvas indeed, though.
35:07A lot of paint.
35:08I can talk about my waistline, of course.
35:11You can get extra big literages of paint.
35:15That's brilliant.
35:16We'll set it up.
35:17No, I don't think you probably will, Annika.
35:20It's been lovely to see you this week.
35:22I've had a lovely time.
35:22Likewise, Susie and you, Rachel.
35:24Look, have a wonderful weekend at home, won't you?
35:26Join us again on Monday, if you possibly can.
35:28Bye-bye for now.
35:29APPLAUSE
35:40Two guys tantalisingly close to a huge amount of cash
35:43and only one question away from taking it home.
35:46The million-pound drop live tonight at 9.
35:48And at 10.30, Rick Edwards and Ellie Taylor
35:51are doing the stat chat on 8 out of 10 cats with Jimmy Carr.
35:54Next this afternoon, 04, it's Deal or No Deal.
35:58And at 10...
35:59Thanks for listening.
35:59More words in the Sun.
35:59Bye-bye.
36:00Bye-bye.
36:00Bye-bye.
36:01Bye-bye.
36:02Bye-bye.
36:02You
