Episode 6157

From Countdown

Episode 6157 was broadcast on 15 June 2015, as part of Series 73.

James Judge played Rhys Benjamin, with Rhys Benjamin winning 78 – 68. The Dictionary Corner guest was Colin Murray, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: This game had three conundrums, the first two of which were cut from the broadcast: BOLDPAPER → DROPPABLE and HONEYPLOX → XYLOPHONE. Neither contestant made any offering on either of the two unbroadcast conundrums. Interestingly, HONEYPLOX had previously been a tie-break conundrum in Episode 4533.
