Episode 7298
From Countdown
Revision as of 12:42, 7 April 2020 by JRTerrier24 (talk | contribs)
Episode 7298 was broadcast on 3 April 2020, as part of Series 82.
Daniel Krigers played Sean McCarthy, with Sean McCarthy winning 95 – 64. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Madeley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Krigers was asked to declare his solution first in the even-numbered Round 14 (because in the studio, Nick inadvertently thought that Krigers' solution was closer than McCarthy's, until it was sorted out).
