A phrase used by Craig Revel Horwood on Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing With The Stars for when heâs in his usual shitty mood.
That was a disaster darling!
The left side of the desk on Channel 4's first ever broadcast TV show, Countdown. This side features a lexicographer (Susie Dent, although in earlier series it was a rotational role with producers and members of the Oxford University Press), an Oxford English Dictionary, and in more recent versions a celebrity guest and a laptop showing the Oxford Dictionaries Platinum website. Their job is to validate words provided by contestants before points are rewarded. It's also the name of a similar segment, where Susie may give a little presentation or monologue about a word. In the comedic version, 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, this segment usually features the guest doing a more comedic activity.
And before we award you those points, we'll just verify that over with Dictionary Corner. Susie?
