Episode 4848 was broadcast on 26 June 2009, as part of Series 61.

Innis Carson played Martyn Brewer, with Innis Carson winning 115 – 57. The Dictionary Corner guest was Tim Vine, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Brewer's offering of DOSIEST in Round 13 should have been disallowed as it is not a valid word. This affects neither the outcome of the game nor Carson's points total; but the official scoreline should've been 115 – 50.
