That is funny though.
How did the presenter react ?
was it '"We don't condone racist comments here on The Mint" or something ?

No is just irgoned his first answer and quickly said ...
" and your next answers"
Which the punter gladly reply
" another .........."
and the presents just said Please don’t ring up with that answer its definitely NOT THAT!

Well one of the questions on the Mint last night was Red (something) I wanted to ring up with the end word being "neck" but hey why waste money when they had Richard Blackwood on as a guest and they were talking about his music career.

Oh, yes. THAT career. You mean the one that vanished after 3 crap singles?

Hypothetically, if someone was to swear on a quiz channel, who would get into trouble? Could the person ringing in and swearing get prosecuted/fined/whatever, or is it the station? Is the caller technically a guest and the presenter has failed to control them, meaning that the quiz channel get the blame?

I think the latter.
If a complaint was investigated the quiz producer would have to demonstrate they are taking 'new measures' to avoid a repeat incident.
I suppose such a measure would have to be passing the output through a censorable time delay.

Funny? I feel rather offended...

In context I think it's funny.
I'm not condoning it though, which I hoped was obvious.
