Creature Comforts

I recorded CC last night, which I really love, and I was astounded to hear one of the voice clearly use the word 'f**cker' when referring to an agricultural judge - which was the topic of the episode.

I have replayed it three times, and the word is definitely there, clear as day. Although I am personally not upset by the use of the word - the programmes is broadcast before 7.00 p.m. - how on earth did no-one spot it at the editing stage?

hahaha, I love it & I heard that too andy! However, listening again on youtube it sounds like a cross between b*gger & f*cker...must be one of those countrystyle hybrid terms. :o)
section starts at about 4.25

it's booker

[pink-kittens]

Sounds like bucker too me - cos the judge smacked the animal on the bum, so the animal bucked and became a bucker

Whats a booker Ethel? I've known it as a person that can run faster than the wind.

[Ethel]

Who knows? It could be a colloquial term for a person who records data in a book, such as a judge in a contest.

[Goodsoulette]

Its bucker

[LoftyLottie2]

Definately starts with a 'b' Andy. Thanks for the link Robinia. I love that little programme - so clever.

..can't access the clip myself, but could the word in question be bug6er? That would seem to make sense and wouldn't be as bad.

[LoftyLottie2]

It could well be ludwig, but it certainly sounds like 'bucker, which could be bu**er prounounced in a west country accent with a softer sounding ''gg".

[pink-kittens]

Well, whatever the word it's certainly not the 'F' one :-)

Cheers Ethel, thought perhaps it was a word you knew from where you live :-)

[Robinia]

I never tire of watching them ...I love the bit at the beginning of that clip where the big pig pushes the smaller one over...

[andy-hughes]

Thanks all - guess I must be going deaf in my old age!

I thought it couldn;t be something as obvious as what I thought I heard.
