Episode 2096 was broadcast on 18 September 1997, and was the first quarter-final of Series 36.
Bhavin Manek played Roger Green, with Bhavin Manek winning 37 – 22. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Stilgoe, and the lexicographer was Hannah Robertson.
At the start of this episode, Richard Whiteley famously offered Green an apology for a comment he had made at the end of Episode 2071 when he lost in his third heat appearance, just over a month before the quarter-finals started. Whiteley had told Green that, although he was seeded at #5 at that stage, his record of two wins out of three would not be enough for him to return for the quarter-finals, as the standard of Countdown was by now far too high to allow for two-time winners to do so. However, not only did Green in fact eventually go on to qualify as the #8 seed for this series, the series #7 seed, Malcolm Fairy, also had a record of two wins from three games. Following on from this, no host of Countdown has ever since told a contestant that they would not qualify for the quarter-finals unless they had already failed to make the top 8 of the seedings for that series at the time of filming.
During the Dictionary Corner break, Richard Stilgoe also anagrammed Green's name to "Grrr! No! Eee!". This is in fact not a correct anagram of the name.
