This game is notable for two reasons- 21 was by some way the lowest winning score under the [[9 round format]], and the combined aggregate score of 32 is the lowest combined score in said format (or ever). This is also one of the very few games in which a contestant won, let alone became an [[octochamp]], despite having three disallowed words in one game.

Episode 2526 was broadcast on 20 May 1999, as part of Series 40.

Peter Hutchings played Jimmy Neil, with Peter Hutchings winning 21 – 11. The Dictionary Corner guest was Magnus Magnusson, and the lexicographer was Hannah Robertson.

This game is notable for two reasons — 21 was by some way, the lowest winning score under the 9 round format, and the combined aggregate score of 32 is the lowest combined score in said format. This is also one of the very few 9-round games in which a contestant won, let alone became an octochamp, despite having three disallowed words in one game.
