Episode 466

< Previous | Next >

Episode 466 was broadcast on 11 November 1986, as part of Series 10.

Harvey Freeman played Roy James, with Harvey Freeman winning 75 – 10. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bill Tidy, and the lexicographer was Freda Thornton.

Freeman's 75 points is the joint-highest 9-round score ever achieved without a nine-letter word. This record is shared by Richard Campbell (Episode 1504). Freeman's performance was also a Jos game, since he was beaten only by the unspotted word LUTEOUS.
