Episode 3869 was broadcast on 11 February 2005, as part of Series 53.

Frank Mulvey played Kevin Warner, with Frank Mulvey winning 133 – 86. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jennie Bond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Mulvey's score of 133 is the highest ever achieved by a player who did not go on to reach the finals in the "old" 15-round format (he retired unbeaten after this episode for personal reasons) – Zarte Siempre then scored 137 under the "new" 15-round format in his five-win run in Series 69, though Siempre was allowed to return in Series 78 in which he became series champion.
