Episode 4261 was broadcast on 21 December 2006, and was the second semi-final of Series 55.
Richard Brittain played Stu Horsey, with Richard Brittain winning 83 – 75. The Dictionary Corner guest was Paul Zenon, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 6, Brittain was not asked to spell his word but since Carol Vorderman displayed REALISES on the board, this has been taken as his declaration here rather than REALIZES.
