Episode 3601

From Countdown

Episode 3601 was broadcast on 2 December 2003, as part of Series 50.

Adam Laws played Kevin Chandler, with Adam Laws winning 93 – 57. The Dictionary Corner guest was Martin Jarvis, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: The final score is in fact incorrect; Chandler had the word PREDATE wrongfully disallowed in Round 11. It was deemed hyphenated, as in "to date before something else", when in fact it exists in a non-hyphenated form as a derivative of predation. However, this did not affect the scores since Laws offered a longer word. But, Chandler was given 6 points in Round 12 for FARMER when there was only one R available in the selection, so the actual scoreline should have been 93 – 51.
