Episode 7383

From Countdown
The nameplates showing the incorrect names.

Episode 7383 was broadcast on 6 November 2020, as part of Series 82.

Rebecca Harraway played Andy Bruno, with Andy Bruno winning 85 – 56. The Dictionary Corner guest was Helen Fospero, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Both contestants were returning contestants, with Bruno having previously appeared in Series 1 and Harraway in Series 64.

NOTE: Bruno did not say evidencing ☓ when buzzing, only after the time elapsed. Also, the buzzer was buzzed at 4.25 seconds, but when the timer resumed, it was at 4.75 seconds, presumably due to an editing error. Additionally, the contestants also were shown to have incorrect nameplates during the conundrum after Bruno's buzz; namely, Lindzee Macaulay on the left and Rebecca Harraway on the right (from the previous episode).
