Episode 1284 was broadcast on 28 July 1992, as part of Series 24.
Robin Stormonth-Darling played Barbara Wylde, with Robin Stormonth-Darling winning 46 – 45. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sheridan Morley, and the lexicographer was Richard Samson.
NOTE: Wylde had JIBER disallowed in one of the rounds, but it is listed under GIBE, so Wylde would have won the game 50 – 46, so she was allowed to return to the show in the next series.
