'''Episode S43''' was a [[special episode]] broadcast on 6 April 2015, which featured 2 [[contestant]]s who happen to be sisters.

[[Olivia Lloyd-Potts]] played [[Pauline Latham]], with Pauline Latham winning {{score|67|64}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Gyles Brandreth]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].

This episode is notable for 2 reasons; firstly, it was broadcast over a year and a half after its original recording, during which the dictionary had changed from the paper to the online version, and secondly, the episode was broadcast at 6am, making the earliest broadcast for any episode of ''[[Countdown]]'' in its entire history.
