Episodes with Susie Dent

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 1700 times since her debut, and has been a permament fixture in Dictionary Corner since series 52, only missing 3 games in series 56 due to illness, when Countdown producer Michael Wylie took over.

Susie returned from maternity leave a couple of episodes into Series 58, and is expected to do the lexicographer work from now on.

Not sure about the hat.

Susie is undeniably the ultimate thinking man's crumpet.
