Episode 6706
From Countdown
Episode 6706 was broadcast on 9 November 2017, as part of Series 77.
James Riddell played William Thomson, with James Riddell winning 94 – 43. The Dictionary Corner guest was Margaret Mountford, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 11, Dictionary Corner did not note that Thomson's offering of RADAR was invalid, as there was only one A in the selection. However, this proved irrelevant as Riddell offered a longer word anyway.
