Episode 7414
Episode 7414 was broadcast on 4 January 2021, as part of Series 83.
Daniel Jonathan played Paul Gaskell, with Paul Gaskell winning 80 – 58. The presenter was Nick Hewer, the Dictionary Corner guest was Levi Roots, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE 1: Gaskell was not asked to spell his word in Round 4; therefore, he may have intended BAILORS rather than BAILERS.
NOTE 2: Despite declaring eight, Gaskell appeared to say GROUNDERS in Round 5. Dent disallowed the word on account of the phantom R; the apparent misdeclaration was not noted.
