Episode 7846

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7846 was broadcast on 9 September 2022, as part of Series 86.

Joseph Bartram played Rob Chapman, with Joseph Bartram winning 82 – 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nina Wadia, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: This episode began at 14:15pm (though it was still billed as 14:10pm) and aired without adverts or sponsorships due to Channel 4's coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's death from the previous day, meaning that it finished ahead of schedule. This also makes it the first episode to be broadcast since Charles III took to the throne in response to the previous monarch's death, the day before.

Both contestants were returning contestants, with Bartram having previously appeared in Series 63 and Chapman in Series 62.
