Jeff Stelling: no bull

Joke of the Week this week came from one of our favourite presenters, Jeff Stelling, following this afternoon’s second ‘Teatime Teaser’ on Countdown. The answer was ‘cockapoo’, which turned out to be a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle. ‘That’s nothing,’ said Jeff. ‘I once knew a man who crossed a bulldog with a Shih Tzu.’ Fortunately, Stelling revealed, with a cheeky grin, that the resulting hybrid was called a ‘zudog’. Of course it was, Jeff, of course it was. Silly of us not to have guessed. And now look: you’ve put everybody off the game and they’re only getting five-letter words. Brilliant!
