Episode 79 was broadcast on 1 July 1983, and was the second semi-final of Series 2.

Ash Haji played Maurice Packman, with Ash Haji winning 41 – 35. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gyles Brandreth, and the lexicographer was Lesley Burnett.

N.B. The contestants’ offered words in Rounds 5 and 7 may be transposed.

It appears that three 9s were selected for the Round 8 numbers game; it is likely that one of the 9s was an upside down 6.

It is thought that this was the final appearance of Angela O'Dougherty.

NOTE: The arithmetician for this episode is not known for certain, and it is possible the solution in Round 8 was therefore offered by Carol Vorderman rather than Dr Linda Barrett.
