Episode 52 was broadcast on 18 May 1983, as part of Series 2.
Bobbie Bennett played Eric Lamprell, with Bobbie Bennett winning 32 – 26. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gyles Brandreth.
It is extremely unlikely that ARMAMENTS would ever be used as a conundrum again on account of it being an -S plural.
