Episode 1664 was broadcast on 18 July 1995, as part of Series 30.
Viv Jones played Martin Linden, with Martin Linden winning 58 – 52. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Stilgoe, and the lexicographer was Richard Samson.
This episode featured a famous blooper where Richard Whiteley told Jones that she "would not win the booby prize", an unfortunate turn of phrase.
