From Countdown
Episode 1349 was broadcast on 2 February 1993, as part of Series 25.
James Sinclair played Jean Fricker, with James Sinclair winning 45 - 44. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sheridan Morley, and the lexicographer was Richard Samson. Notably, on the conundrum, Jean Fricker said 'Ah' and pressed the buzzer exactly on 30 seconds, but the buzzer does not light up. Richard gave her a chance as it was not a crucial conundrum.
