Episode 8310
From Countdown
Episode 8310 was broadcast on 5 July 2024, as part of Series 90.
James Swinnerton played Michael Arnold, with James Swinnerton winning 93 – 27. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ranvir Singh, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This episode was broadcast five minutes earlier at 14:05 to accommodate the live practice of the 2024 British Grand Prix.
NOTE: Arnold was not asked to spell his word in Round 12 – therefore, he may have intended GRATE rather than GREAT.
