Episode 4775
From Countdown
Episode 4775 was broadcast on 17 March 2009, as part of Series 60.
Kirk Bevins played Rosie Owen, with Kirk Bevins winning 114 – 31. The Dictionary Corner guest was Colin Murray, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 13, Dictionary Corner did not note that Owen's offering of baiter ☓ was invalid. However, this proved irrelevant as Bevins offered a longer word anyway.
