Episode 3551

< Previous | Next >

Episode 3551 was broadcast on 23 September 2003, as part of Series 50.

Geoff Trinick played John Britton, with Geoff Trinick winning 72 – 69. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jennie Bond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Britton's first round offering of RIGHTEST was later judged to have been wrongfully disallowed. As this would have changed the result in his favour, he was invited back in Series 51, losing 100 – 68 to Nik Von Uexkull in Von Uexkull's sixth game.
