From Countdown
Episode 2 was broadcast on 3 November 1982, as part of Series 1.
Maureen Barr played Michael Goldman, with Michael Goldman winning 41 – 28. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ted Moult, the lexicographer was Mary, and the arithmetician was Dr Linda Barrett, making her first-ever appearance.
Whiteley incorrectly believed time had expired after Goldman's guess; Barr was not given the remaining two seconds.
