British Television fans re- cently saw a chicken plucked, for a bet, in two minutes at the Alexandra Palace-and some were shocked.

-They thought, because they saw the bird's wings flap, that the chicken wrs alive.

But at the end of the programme the B.B.C. nasured televiewers that the bird was dead, and any move- Iment purely reficx.

"The chicken flapped its wings several times. It seemed sníd a viewer.

No Apology

"When I at length got through to Broadcasting House I, asked them to out out an apology immediately.

In my view," the viewer cun- tinued," there is no doubt that the chicken was not dead, and I have notified the R.S.P.C.A."

A B.B.C. spokesman said that the incident occurred when a champion chicken plucker was demonstrating his skill in the "Country Magazine," programme.

"The chicken was quite dead and there was no question of an apology." Not complaints had been received at Broadcasting House.
