Episode 6190

From Countdown

Episode 6190 was broadcast on 13 August 2015, as part of Series 73.

Kevin Breeze played David Bathurst, with Kevin Breeze winning 89 – 67. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Arnold, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Immediately following this game, the #1 seed of Series 73 (up to this point) had 8 wins, the #2 seed had 7 wins, the #3 seed had 6 wins, and so on down to the #8 seed with 1 win. This is believed to be the only time this perfect reverse pattern has occurred.
