Episode 3250

< Previous | Next >

Episode 3250 was broadcast on 10 May 2002, as part of Series 47.

Tony Lawford played Mike Pullin, with Mike Pullin winning 98 – 76. The Dictionary Corner guest was Anna Raeburn, and the lexicographer was Tania Styles, with this episode marking Styles' last appearance on the show to date.

NOTE: Pullin was not asked to spell his word in Round 2, but since Carol Vorderman displayed GOITRE on the letters board, this has been taken as his declaration, rather than GOITER.
