Game show refilmed for profanity

LONDON, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Producers of a British game show said part of an episode had to be removed when a contestant used the given letters to spell a profane word.

The producers of Channel 4 game show "Countdown," which calls on contestants to create anagrams from given letters, said a segment was scrapped and refilmed with new letters after a contestant used the letters "DTCEIASHF" to create an expletive beginning with a synonym for feces and ending with "face," The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

The show's language expert, Susie Dent, told host Jeff Stelling the phrase was acceptable, but Channel 4 bosses ruled to replay the round with new letters.
