Episode 7593

Jump to navigationJump to search
Episode 7593 was broadcast on 13 September 2021, as part of Series 84.
Adele Hannigan played Jodine Lawrence, with Jodine Lawrence winning 78 – 63. The Dictionary Corner guest was Pam Ayres, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This was a rare instance of a heat game that featured two returning daily champions, since Lawrence was the carry-over contestant from the preceding "Black to Front" episode.
NOTE: Dent offered uptakes ☓ in Round 12 – this would have been disallowed if a contestant offered it, as UPTAKE is a mass noun.
