Episode LAN178
From Countdown
Episode 178 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 6 April 2011, as part of Series 2.
Victor Tung played Preeti Goel, with Victor Tung winning 43 – 23.
NOTE: The conundrum had two valid solutions: SURROGATE and OUTRAGERS. However, the answer to the conundrum can't have a plural ending in -S (as in Countdown), thus making SURROGATE a valid answer and OUTRAGERS not.
