Episode 447
From Countdown
Episode 447 was broadcast on 15 October 1986, as part of Series 10.
Colin Bevan played Liz Wilcox, with Liz Wilcox winning 41 - 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Junkin, and the lexicographer was Julia Swannel.
Note: in round 1 Colin's word RIOTER was incorrectly allowed as there was only one R in the selection. The final score should therefore be 34-41.
