Episode 5224 was broadcast on 21 March 2011, as part of Series 64.
Andy McGurn played James Hall, with Andy McGurn winning 94 – 87. The Dictionary Corner guest was Donal MacIntyre, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Hall's declaration of TOUGHED was later found to be wrongly disallowed by Dent, and so the score should have been 94 – 94 and therefore go to a tie-break conundrum. As per precedent, Hall was invited back in the following series.
