'''Episode 8042''' was broadcast on 19 June 2023, as part of [[Series 87]].

[[Tony McCooey]] played [[Sarah Bibby]], with Sarah Bibby winning {{score|82|79}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Marcus Brigstocke]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].

NOTE 1: Bibby wasn't asked to spell her word in Round 5 – therefore, she may have intended {{word|PLAIN}} rather than {{word|PLANE}}.

NOTE 2: After the second advert break, [[Colin Murray]] incorrectly read the [[Teatime Teaser]] clue as "They hoped the movie {{word|WASN'T}} very good, but alas it wasn't."

Bibby's comeback of 39 points is the joint second largest in ''[[Countdown]]'' history, equalling [[Ann Robinson]] on [[Episode 5896|31 March 2014]].
