Episode 4528

< Previous | Next >

Episode 4528 was broadcast on 29 January 2008, as part of Series 58.

David O'Donnell played Bill Barrack, with David O'Donnell winning 117 – 45. The Dictionary Corner guest was Trudie Goodwin, and the lexicographer was Alison Heard.

NOTE: In Round 13, Dictionary Corner did not note that Barrack's offering of FETTER was invalid as there was only one E in the selection. However, this proved irrelevant as O'Donnell offered a longer word anyway.
