Episode 4416 was broadcast on 15 August 2007, as part of Series 57.

Martin May played Steve Baines, with Steve Baines winning 77 – 73. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ricky Tomlinson, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This was the first show to be recorded at The Granada Studios in Manchester, and the first of ten to be recorded there temporarily before recordings returned to Yorkshire Television in Leeds. The Granada Studios would become the show's regular venue from the start of Series 61, for more than two and a half years.
