Revision as of 23:27, 27 September 2020 by The Doctor (talk | contribs)
Episode 3152 was broadcast on 25 December 2001, and was the Series 46 grand final.
Steve Sandalls played Ben Wilson, with Ben Wilson winning 84 – 75. The Dictionary Corner guest was Geoffrey Durham, and the lexicographer was Clare Pemberton.
NOTE: The SANTASITS conundrum has two solutions – ASSISTANT and SATANISTS, which is listed without a capital letter. However the Contestant Guidelines say the conundrum will not end in a plural, thus making ASSISTANT a valid conundrum and SATANISTS not.
