Like [[Episode S43]], this episode was also broadcast at 6am, and also used the "old" [[15 round format]], which was still being used when this was recorded in 2012. As of April 2016, it is the final game to have been premiered in the Old 15 format, although a few specials recorded during the [[Richard Whiteley]] and [[Jeff Stelling]] eras are yet to emerge.

This episode is notable for 2 reasons; firstly, it was broadcast over a year and a half after its original recording, during which the dictionary had changed from the paper to the online version, and secondly, the episode was broadcast at 6am, making the earliest broadcast for any episode of ''[[Countdown]]'' in its entire history.
