Colin Bevan played Liz Wilcox, with Liz Wilcox winning 41 – 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Junkin, and the lexicographer was Julia Swannell.

NOTE: In Round 1, Bevan's word RIOTER was incorrectly allowed as there was only one R in the selection. The final score should therefore be 34 – 41.
