Episode S30 was a special episode broadcast on 14 March 2011.

The match was between Nicki Sellars and Lee Graham, two players who have already met twice, in the preliminaries of Series 62, and a few weeks later in the semi-finals. At one win each, this game was the decider. Lee Graham won 101 – 94 on a crucial conundrum. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Parrott, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
