Author’s note: It turned out that Robert Robinson hadn’t hosted Call my bluff for several decades and Frank Muir was dead.
Supreme Allied Punmeister-in-Chief and Absolute Countdown Commander Generalissimo Richard Whiteley announced the breakdown in diplomacy and imminent invasion of the Call my Bluff studios and ‘their evil tyrant dictator’ Robert Robinson, today. “How much longer can this despot be allowed to hold onto his letters of mass destruction?” quizzed Whiteley. “How can we believe anything this maniac says, when it has been conclusively proved that only one in every three answers is the truth? And what of the evil scientists and intellectuals he parades on his ‘Brain of Britain’ show? No, we here at Countdown have said ‘enough is enough’. We shall ignore the Blankety-Blank veto and seek the overthrow of this evil regime. I’ll have three consonants, 4 vowels and a daisy cutter tactical missile, thank you, Carol.”
