Episode 2679
Episode 2679 was broadcast on 3 January 2000, as part of Series 42.
Helen Wrigglesworth played Joanna Newman, with Helen Wrigglesworth winning 53 - 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Digance, and the lexicographer was Mark Nyman.
Mark Nyman introduced the 10th edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English at the start of this game, mentioning that new words such as CYBERPUNK would now be allowed (though in fact a selection producing CYBERPUNK would be invalid as it has only two vowels). The new dictionary was however abandoned after only one day's filming, with the rest of series 42 reverting to the 9th edition.
