Episode 971 was broadcast on 15 February 1990, as part of Series 19.
Mark Cooper played Robin Michaelson, with Mark Cooper winning 53 – 52. The Dictionary Corner guest was Martin Jarvis, and the lexicographer was Simon Mason.
Cooper was the returning champion from the final heat game of Series 18, and was brought back here against Michaelson, the previous day's winner; as such, this is a rare instance of a heat featuring two returning champions.
