Episode 1624 was broadcast on 21 February 1995, as part of Series 29.

Darren Shacklady played Brenda Thomson, with Darren Shacklady winning 55 – 26. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nigel Rees, and the lexicographer was Ruth Killick.

In Round 7, when Carol Vorderman was placing the word AIRLIFTS on the board, the T tile fell off, leaving it displayed as AIRLIF S. A clip of this amusing incident was rebroadcast in the retrospective A Tribute to Countdown: 3000 and Counting.
