Revision as of 20:46, 13 August 2011 by JRTerrier24 (talk | contribs)
Episode 209 was broadcast on 16 November 1984, as part of Series 5.
Pam Fairless played Robert Violett, with Robert Violett winning 52 – 51. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gyles Brandreth, and the lexicographer was Yvonne Warburton.
NOTE: It would appear that either Pam offered an invalid word on Round 5, or the final letter of the selection was actually a G.
