Julia's cerise 'antidisestablishmentarianism'

Julia shares with Tom Cashman that her favourite colour is cerise, and that her fanciest word is 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.

She runs into the house to collect cerise items and, while starting to assemble and arrange them on the desk in the study, asks Tom how many letters are in her word (28).

To help her keep track, she actually writes the word on a piece of paper, in pink pen, early on in her attempt, and expresses her annoyance that she can't just stick that to the front of the desk (which she absolutely could have).

Having filled the length of the desk with items, but with many letters yet to add, she starts a new row behind them. She then starts to lose track of where in the word she has gotten to, and has to keep running back through the letters she has already created, to find her place.

For the final letter, she ends up painting two strokes of pink paint on her face, either side of her mouth, and sticking her tongue out, to form the 'M'.

In the studio, Tom Cashman reveals that Julia had chosen the sixth longest word in the English language, and had managed to spell it correctly after 53 minutes and 2 seconds, securing third place in the task.
