Revision as of 14:10, 28 June 2009

Episode 3349 was broadcast on 25 October 2002, as part of Series 48.

Julian Fell played Carl McDermott, with Julian Fell winning 138 - 29. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ingrid Tarrant, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent. This game is notable for a number of reasons: it was the first game to feature a score over 130 (and was at the time the highest score in Countdown history), it was the first game where one contestant spotted three nine-letter words, and it was the first and so far only game won by over 100 points.
