Episode 5749

From Countdown

Episode 5749 was broadcast on 13 August 2013, as part of Series 69.

Dylan Taylor played Leone Mitchell, with Dylan Taylor winning 129 – 22. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gloria Hunniford, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Notably, Taylor became the first male to score 36 points after two rounds, and became the first person in Countdown history to score the theoretical maximum number of points in any "half", with two nines and 10 points from the numbers game in the first three rounds.

The audience member who solved the conundrum was Taz Bhuta, who would appear as a contestant later in Series 69.
