Episode 4059

< Previous | Next >

Episode 4059 was broadcast on 18 March 2006, as part of Series 54.

Ian Graham played Ian Alexander, with Ian Alexander winning 82 – 77. The Dictionary Corner guest was Philip Franks, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

In Round 14, for reasons unknown, Graham's total displayed on his scoreboard erroneously increased by nine points instead of ten; although this did not affect the outcome of the match, the mistake was not corrected and so the final score was displayed as 76 – 82.

Notably, this episode was Des Lynam's 100th episode.
