 [[Derek Coombs]] played [[Denys Hollis]], with Derek Coombs winning {{score|69|10}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Simon Williams]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Simon Mason]].
-Hollis' 10 points is the lowest score in the finals stages of any series. However, it must be noted that Coombs' declaration of {{word|DOGMA}} in round 6 should have been disallowed as there was no {{word|M}} in the selection, making the correct final score {{score|64|14}}.
