Episode 15 was broadcast on 25 November 1982, as part of Series 1.
Joe Guy played Andrew Bruno, with Andrew Bruno winning 40 – 22. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kenneth Williams, and the lexicographer was Mary.
It is not known when the Contestant Guidelines around conundrums came into force: it is extremely unlikely that MOCCASINS would ever be used again on account of it being an -S plural.
