Despite its woolly cardigan image, Countdown is no stranger to the risque, the raunchy, even the downright filthy. There were schoolboy-style giggles recently when the word "erection" made it on to the screen.
But most of the real nasties end up safely on the cutting-room floor.
Carol, 38, revealed in an interview: "We've had all the worst swear words over the years.
"When that happens, we have to scrap the round and start again.
"The audience are always looking out for it. If the first two letters a contestant picks are F and U, you can hear them titter."

Weasel, this is from a british game show that's as old as channel 4 itself. The contestant picks 9 letters (either vowel or consonant) then they have 30 secs to rearrange the letters to get the longest word possible.
That's why the guy at the end said 'I'll stick with a four' (not ford)
