Episode 1332
Episode 1332 was broadcast on 8 January 1993, and was the first semi-final of Championship of Champions VI.
Chris Waddington played Robert Teuton, with Chris Waddington winning 54 – 44. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Stilgoe, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
According to Waddington, the conundrum round was originally set with the answer as RELAPSING, to which he 'incorrectly' buzzed with the answer SPANGLIER. It was then discovered that the word was indeed valid, and so a retake was shot with the original intended answer as the scramble.
This episode was also fondly remembered by fans of the series for the second numbers game; as the solution appeared straightforward, Waddington suggested that Whiteley should attempt to solve it. Whiteley said 25 × 4 + 7 + 5, which equals 112, and Vorderman helped him spot 25 × 4 + 10 + 3. Therefore, the contestants did not reveal their solutions, however it can be assumed they were identical.
This episode was repeated on 19 June 2000, following the conclusion of England vs West Indies.
