Episode 2910 was broadcast on 22 December 2000, and was the second semi-final of Series 43.
Graham Nash played Clare Wright, with Graham Nash winning 70 – 53. The Dictionary Corner guest was Barry Cryer, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
At the end of the episode, the show celebrated Carol Vorderman's 40th birthday (as it fell on a Sunday), with Richard Whiteley presenting her with a copy of his then-recently published autobiography, Himoff!: The Memoirs of a TV Matinée Idle, and Greg Scott (the warm-up man at the time) making an appearance to present her with a bottle of champagne, a bouquet of flowers, and a balloon.
