Episode LAN193
From Countdown
Episode 193 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 27 April 2011, as part of Series 2.
James Couti played Andre Sardone, with Andre Sardone winning 42 – 13.
NOTE: The conundrum had two valid solutions: ASSISTANT and SATANISTS. However, the answer to the conundrum can't have a plural ending in -S (as in Countdown), thus making ASSISTANT a valid answer and SATANISTS not.
