Episode 3657

From Countdown

Episode 3657 was broadcast on 3 March 2004, as part of Series 51.

Stewart Holden played Martin Rigby, with Stewart Holden winning 79 – 73. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ken Bruce, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 9, Rigby was not asked to spell his word, but since Carol Vorderman displayed PLAINS on the board, this has been taken as his declaration here rather than PLANES.
