Should Countdown censor offensive words?

Some people watching might have had a fit of the vapours. Isn't it better to be safe than to be sorry?

I think every combination has been pulled out by now I am pretty sure I watched a show where the letters of the even worse word were selected luckily there was a much nicer longer word that was easier to find

Sandy, thank God I've found you.
No to your question, but look what's happened to me. I've lost my hamadryad and had her replaced by something unspeakably disagreeable. Do you think it's Virginia Wolff? Can you put in a good word for me (there are no athiests in fox holes!).

Vestute, I predict a miracle at around 6 this evening. The Cobra will be returned to your avatar.
It's not gaunt enough to be Virginia. And now it's showing a sunset behind a tree.

[vetuste_ennemi]

You've done it, Sandy! No reply, or obvious intercession, just the hem of the garment.
St. Aloysius of the Lower Falls; it could happen.

[sandyRoe]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a hamadryad a class of snake? I see a tree.

[sandyRoe]

So, this is a hamadryad...

Sandy, sadly we live in a world of anything goes, X Factor showing their @rse & very near to the XXXX the detective programs with every word going, You had Holly near jumping out of her bra, Dancing on Ice left little to the imagination, you have only to go into town & hear the mouth fulls coming out of some youngsters mouths, even Del Boy has used it & that was watched by the young,

I am a little confused ,the programme is recorded ,it does not go out live ,they are done in batches of 2 per day ,I think Deal or NO Deal are done in 3 a day ,so I think some things are left in on purpose just to make things a little realistic.Yes Carol did pull out the letters in question, logically these programmes could never leave anything to chance.
