Fell also set records with 924 points in eight games and eight [[conundrum]]s solved out of eight. He faced [[Mike Brown (debut episode 3328)|Mike Brown]] in the first quarter-final and ran away with it, scoring 125 points to Brown's 67. The second quarter-final was closer and hinged on [[Grace Page]] spotting {{word|SOBERING}} in the first round against [[David Nickeas]]. Nickeas got the conundrum but lost by four points. The third quarter-final produced the first upset. [[George Greenhough]] played [[Joe Zubaidi]] and lost on a crucial conundrum. During the heats, Greenhough had score 817 points to Zubaidi's 665, but the #6 seed held the #3 seed and beat him on the conundrum. In the final quarter-final, [[Julia Wilkinson]] slipped up by offering {{word|CEILINGS}} when there was only one {{word|I}}, and [[Danny Hamilton]] won a place in the semi-final against Fell. In the semi-final, Fell broke his own records by getting four nine-letter words and an overall score of 146. He could have scored 156 as he had 146 after 14 rounds, but the conundrum {{word|THEIRCOPY}} beat him, but still he'd managed to beat the #4 seed by 70 points. Joe Zubaidi was bidding for another upset against a higher seed, but Page beat him and secured a [[century]] but spotting the conundrum, beating Zubaidi by 33 points. |
In the final, Page missed {{word|CREMATION/MANTICORE}} and {{word|LEOPARDS/PRELOADS}} in the first two rounds and trailed by 26 points. She beat Fell later in the game with {{word|KNITWEAR}} and the final numbers game, but Fell unravelled {{word|APIMOMENT}} in a single second to beat Page and take the Series 48 final with 112 points. His cumulative score of 1,307 in 11 games was the highest ever, until [[Dylan Taylor]] bettered the record by 12 points in [[Series 69]] despite losing the grand final of that series. | In the final, Page missed {{word|CREMATION/MANTICORE}} and {{word|LEOPARDS/PRELOADS}} in the first two rounds and trailed by 26 points.

Latest revision as of 18:28, 13 December 2022
Series 48 ran from 1 July to 20 December 2002, and introduced a new rule to ban American spellings of words in the letters games. The forty-eighth of 53 series presented by Richard Whiteley was won by Julian Fell. It was also the last series to be played on the long-lived "wings" set, 11 years after it first appeared in Series 22.
Fell set multiple records by scoring 138 points, the highest ever score beating Chris Wills' score of 129 against April Carlin. Fell also set records with 924 points in eight games and eight conundrums solved out of eight. He faced Mike Brown in the first quarter-final and ran away with it, scoring 125 points to Brown's 67. The second quarter-final was closer and hinged on Grace Page spotting SOBERING in the first round against David Nickeas. Nickeas got the conundrum but lost by four points. The third quarter-final produced the first upset. George Greenhough played Joe Zubaidi and lost on a crucial conundrum. During the heats, Greenhough had score 817 points to Zubaidi's 665, but the #6 seed held the #3 seed and beat him on the conundrum. In the final quarter-final, Julia Wilkinson slipped up by offering CEILINGS when there was only one I, and Danny Hamilton won a place in the semi-final against Fell. In the semi-final, Fell broke his own records by getting four nine-letter words and an overall score of 146. He could have scored 156 as he had 146 after 14 rounds, but the conundrum THEIRCOPY beat him, but still he'd managed to beat the #4 seed by 70 points. Joe Zubaidi was bidding for another upset against a higher seed, but Page beat him and secured a century but spotting the conundrum, beating Zubaidi by 33 points.
In the final, Page missed CREMATION/MANTICORE and LEOPARDS/PRELOADS in the first two rounds and trailed by 26 points. She beat Fell later in the game with KNITWEAR and the final numbers game, but Fell unravelled APIMOMENT in a single second to beat Page and take the Series 48 final with 112 points. His cumulative score of 1,307 in 11 games was the highest ever, until Dylan Taylor bettered the record by 12 points in Series 69 despite losing the grand final of that series.
