Episode 4769

< Previous | Next >

Episode 4769 was broadcast on 3 March 2009, as part of Series 60.

Kirk Bevins played Fiona Shaw, with Kirk Bevins winning 97 – 67. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: HEDARIM was originally disallowed by Dent as it doesn't have its own entry. But by the time the next letters game had finished, Dent had found it under HEDER and Bevins was therefore awarded the points.
