Episode 7820

From Countdown

Episode 7820 was broadcast on 4 August 2022, as part of Series 86.

Quinn Bartlett played Shane Mooney, with Quinn Bartlett winning 102 – 57. The Dictionary Corner guest was Daniel Brocklebank, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This was the first of eight episodes presented by Les Dennis as a stand-in presenter while Colin Murray was ill with COVID-19. This episode also reverted to eight-letter Teatime Teasers for the fourth time.

NOTE: Both contestants were not asked to spell their word in Round 11 – therefore, they may have intended SEWING rather than SOWING.
