Revision as of 02:19, 5 March 2017 by Mattyartell (talk | contribs) (Notably, the word "notably" is used far too freely on this wiki T_T)
Episode 6389 was broadcast on 1 July 2016, as part of Series 75.
Andrew Fenton played Michael Hawkins, with Andrew Fenton winning 79 – 54. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jon Culshaw, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
During the Dictionary Corner anecdote break, Culshaw presented a set of rap-style lyrics that he had written for the Countdown clock music.
After the conundrum went unsolved, the audience member who solved it was Apterite and Series 53 contestant Anthony Endsor.
