Susie Dent is a lexicographer formerly working for Oxford University Press, but now works freelance and is widely recognised as one of the most famous lexicographers in the country, writing an annual 'language report' about the English language. She has appeared on Countdown over 1800 times since her debut, more than anybody besides Richard Whiteley or Carol Vorderman. Although she is a permament fixture in Dictionary Corner now, this has only been so since series 52 when she became full-time. Prior to this, the role was rotated between other employees of OUP. Since becoming full-time, she has missed just 3 games, which came in series 56 due to illness, when Countdown producer Michael Wylie took over.
Susie returned from maternity leave on 6th Febuary 2008, and is expected to do the lexicographer work from now on.
Susie is undeniably the ultimate thinking man's crumpet.
