Episode 3755 was broadcast on 11 August 2004, as part of Series 52.

Khalid Mahmood played Bob Mathieson, with Bob Mathieson winning 77 – 74. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Digance, and the lexicographer was Alison Heard.

The solution for Round 5 was offered by Whiteley, memorably so as Vorderman had not got it.
