Episode 6371
From Countdown
Revision as of 20:43, 31 May 2016 by JRTerrier24 (talk | contribs)
Episode 6371 was broadcast on 31 May 2016, as part of Series 74.
Matthew MacCabe played Alasdair Haines, with Alasdair Haines winning 102 – 87. The Dictionary Corner guest was Chris Hollins, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 10, Dent disallowed MacCabe's word CARMINES due to her ruling that it can only function as a mass noun, despite the word having been allowed on several previous occasions; had it been allowed, the game would have gone to a tie-break conundrum following a 95 – 95 draw.
