Episode LAN439
From Countdown
Episode 439 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 3 May 2012, as part of Series 5.
Rob Fischer played Andrew Fischer, with Rob Fischer winning 61 – 10.
NOTE: Lily Serna made a minor error in this game, which (presumably) went unnoticed at the time and appeared in the final edit. In Round 2, Andrew asked for a consonant as the seventh letter but was given a vowel U instead. The correct selection, ERSQUELBN, would've reduced maximum score in that round from 18 to 7. This does not affect Rob's victory.
