Origin of Words

[Peter Mabey]

I think that Susie's spot is sometimes unfairly skipped over in the recaps, as often more interesting than the DC guest's rabbiting on

Does anyone know how to ask her a question ? - there doesn't seem to be an address on the Channel4 site
(I'd like to find why pears are said to be so badly shaped)

Yeah, I really like Susie's Origin of Words spot, too.
I just Googled your question and here's the answer from Wikipedia:

I'd really like Dusie to talk about because there are so vany possibilities, and Wikipedia is notoriously unreliable
BTW. I also found that Erik Satie, in respomse to a critic complaining that his music lacked form, published three pear-shaped pieces (3 morceaux en forme de poire (1903, 4 hands)) - but I don't know the term had any special meaning in Paris at that time

I would assume you'd just write to countdown@channel4.com as with any other message to the show.
