Episode 166 was broadcast on 29 May 1984, as part of Series 4.
Norah Moore played Brian Hudson, with Brian Hudson winning 55 – 25. The Dictionary Corner guest was Mark Nyman, and the lexicographer was Julia Swannell.
NOTE: Moore offered a word featuring a phantom 'S' in Round 3, but no one appeared to notice, so she was duly awarded six points.
