Episode 7407 was broadcast on 10 December 2020, as the first quarter final of Series 82.
Luke Johnson-Davies played David Kempshall, with Luke Johnson-Davies winning 136 – 89. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Inverdale, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Johnson-Davies's max game was only the eleventh in the history of Countdown, the second in the "new" 15 round format, and the first since December 2014. It was also the first since a major 2015 update to the ODO which massively expanded the scope of the dictionary compared to all the other max games.
The Teatime Teasers were lifted from Episode 4904.
