Episode 4533
From Countdown
Episode 4533 was broadcast on 5 February 2008, as part of Series 58.
Ian Lamb played Sarah Flynn, with Ian Lamb winning 79 – 69, after a tiebreak conundrum. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Digance, and the lexicographer was Alison Heard.
This was the last ever time that a lexicographer other than Susie Dent was utilised in Dictionary Corner (excluding Episode 7592 due to it being a one-off). During Dent's absences in Series 84 and onwards, the celebrity guest would double up as lexicographer too.
