Episode 1867

From Countdown
Revision as of 12:59, 16 September 2017 by JohnnyCanuck (talk | contribs) (EASYGOING doesn't appear to have been valid in any dictionary used since Apterous started; can someone confirm this, pleases?)

Episode 1867 was broadcast on 25 October 1996, and was the second semi-final of Group B in the Supreme Championship.

Chris Waddington played Andrew Perry, with Andrew Perry winning 43 – 37. The Dictionary Corner guest was June Whitfield, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: The conundrum was illegal as EASY-GOING is specified only as a hyphenated word in the dictionary.
