Episode 5833

Episode 5833 was broadcast on 12 December 2013, and was the first quarter-final of Series 69.

Dylan Taylor played Gemma Church, with Dylan Taylor winning 108 – 76. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dan Walker, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: The score at the end of Round 11 was incorrectly displayed as 88 – 55, and as an indirect result led to Nick Hewer announcing that result.

Taylor missed the conundrum, otherwise it would have been a max game.
