Episode S7

< Previous | Next >

Episode S7 was broadcast on 3 September 2003, as a special episode between two Scrabble experts.

Brett Smitheram played Harshan Lamabadusuriya, with Harshan Lamabadusuriya winning 101 – 87. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Stilgoe, and the lexicographer was Damian Eadie.

NOTE: In Round 4, Smitheram's declaration of MUSTERER should have been allowed, as it is in the NODE. This error did not affect the outcome of the game, although the final score should have been 101 – 95 in Lamabadusuriya's favour.
