< Previous | Next >

Episode 8125 was broadcast on 12 October 2023, as part of Series 88.

Philip Goodwin played Colm Kelly, with Philip Goodwin winning 83 – 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Levi Roots, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Strangely, Goodwin appeared to say SEAMAN in Round 2, which would have been invalid as there was only one A in the selection.
