    Fresh BBC race row as Jamaica's foreign minister complains over Famalam sketch showing Caribbean men leering at women and high on cannabis on Countdown

    • Kamina Johnson-Smith branded the BBC Three show 'outrageous and offensive'
    • The episode sees a male host stare at female character and pretend to have sex
    • It also features a panellist high on marijuana, who forgets an answer to question
    • The BBC is already under fire over lyrics in two songs in Last Night of the Proms
