Countdown Conundrum!
« on: March 24, 2010, 22:46 »
TV bosses were left with red faces when the F-word popped up on quiz show Countdown.

Numbers girl Rachel Riley cringed as the letters U, D, F, C, K, E all came up in a contestant's selection — and host Jeff Stelling gave a wry smile.

Viewers sat with baited breath in case the two contestants decided to go for the obvious six-letter word — and trigger a flood of complaints.

Damn, I missed it!  Rachel is certainly a good reason to watch.  :letch:

Oh, absolutely, I'd have done it, but it wouldn't have been broadcast.  ;D

After seeing her on Question Time the other day she is a nasty piece of work.  Even the audience complained about her.   :(

Really?  I find it hard to see why she was even on there.

She was as spiteful and vindictive as a politician. ;)

Even worse than a politician!  I have never seen such vitriol in previous editions Question Time.  Even the newspaper commentators were horrified with her behaviour.
