Episode 7859
Episode 7859 was broadcast on 28 September 2022, as part of Series 86.
Tom Stevenson played Sara Woolridge, with Tom Stevenson winning 119 – 10. The Dictionary Corner guest was Eve Muirhead, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Stevenson's contestant intro was cut from this episode, since he discussed encountering the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip at a parade. As a result, this episode had a shorter than usual run-time, under 34 minutes. Paradoxically however, guest Muirhead discussed her own meeting with Queen Elizabeth II when she received an OBE.
NOTE: Woolridge was not asked to spell her word in Round 4 and both homophones are therefore listed here.
