Episode 1120 was broadcast on 13 March 1991, as part of Series 21.
Nuala Clenaghan played Lew Schwarz, with the game ending in a 54-all draw. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nigel Rees, and the lexicographer was Judy Pearsall.
This was the last drawn match in Countdown history; in the following series, the practice of using tie-break conundrums to decide a winner would begin.
