Episode 601 was broadcast on 30 June 1987, and was the grand final of Championship of Champions III. It was a specially extended 50-minute edition.
Harvey Freeman played David Trace, with Harvey Freeman winning 115 – 107. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sally James, and the lexicographer was Della Thompson.
