Episode 4733
From Countdown
Revision as of 23:21, 27 December 2022 by The Doctor (talk | contribs) (an asterisk here is not needed, it's adequately explained in the notes)
Episode 4733 was broadcast on 12 January 2009, and was the first preliminary of Championship of Champions XIII.
David O'Donnell played James Hurrell, with David O'Donnell winning 101 – 82. The Dictionary Corner guest was Andrew Sachs, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
It was the first game played on the new blue set, and marked the debuts of both Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley.
For her first numbers game, Rachel Riley was offered up a very easy one by CECIL, and she offered the solution rather than O'Donnell and Hurrell.
