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.

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.
