Episode 4775

< Previous | Next >

Episode 4775 was broadcast on 17 March 2009, as part of Series 60.

Kirk Bevins played Rosie Owen, with Kirk Bevins winning 114 – 31. The Dictionary Corner guest was Colin Murray, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 13, Dictionary Corner did not note that Owen's offering of baiter ☓ was invalid. However, this proved irrelevant as Bevins offered a longer word anyway.
