Countdown - 12 November 1996

A controversial edition - yes even Countdown had controversy if you dont watch the show first read this rest of this afterwards.... During the Conundrum Jackie gave the word Penetrant this was not the word that they were looking for as a result after a short deliberation with producer and Susie Dent it was decided this was an actual word and they decided to refilm the conundrum and told Jackie she had to wait a few seconds and then guess Penetrant and Clive was not allowed to buzz in as this was a crucial conundrum the other contestant Clive was clearly not happy as you could see from his face the word they were looking for was Repentant. Neither contestant seemed to know what was happening and the embarrassment from Richard at the end is clear.
