Episode 6259

From Countdown

Episode 6259 was broadcast on 27 November 2015, as part of Series 73.

James Richards played Indika Sarathchandra, with James Richards winning 104 – 38. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Madeley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Sarathchandra was not asked to spell her word in Round 2, but since Rachel Riley displayed PEAKING on the letters board, this has been taken as her declaration rather than PEEKING.
