From Countdown

Episode COBRIS20065 was played on 8 July 2006, as part of CoBris 2006.

The host was Series 54 finalist Daniel Peake, and the Dictionary Corner guest and lexicographer was Jerry Humphreys.

NOTE: Although not noticed by the organisers, the conundrum had two valid solutions: INTRIGUED and NIGRITUDE.
