Channel 4's Countdown In A Tizz Over Rising Hemlines

TV watchdogs are today putting their foot down with a heavy hand and bringing to book Channel 4's daily word quiz, Countdown. It seems that the bird who puts the letters and numbers on the board, Rachel Riley, is causing coronaries throughout the land, particularly among male OAPs, and all because of the skimpy skirts she frequently wears on-camera. Bespectacled, lank-haired and dowdy Ms. Julia Carruthers (20-46-15) speaking on behalf of OFCOM made the following statement. "It's not how Rachel looks that we object to. Far from it actually. No, it's just that we believe her ability to do her job must inevitably be impaired by the drafts she must feel in the studio, and furthermore we feel that a good sensible tweed twin-set would improve and generally sharpen up her mathematical abilities considerably, and thus set a better example for any younger viewers etc.

Blackpool fan's Countdown prank leaves Preston North End red-faced ...

The afternoon game show, popular among the elderly and students, revealed the famous Countdown conundrum anagram that cheekily spelled out ‘PNE CRISIS’ to the despair of recently relegated Preston fans.

But unlike previous bloopers which have accidentally appeared on the show, this was no coincidence, as one of the back-room bods was revealed to be a massive Tangerine fan.

A Channel 4 spokesman said: ‘One of the members of the production team is a life-long Blackpool fan and it was intended to be friendly banter, all done in good humour.’

There has been a series of back-and-forth jibes between the two clubs, most recently when a Seasiders fan flew a plane of Preston’s Deepdale ground with a banner hanging off the back that read: ‘We are superior. Love Blackpool FC.’

The answer to the prankster's conundrum was 'Priciness'.
