Episode 2526 was broadcast on 20 May 1999, as part of Series 40.
Peter Hutchings played Jimmy Neil, with Peter Hutchings winning 21 – 11. The Dictionary Corner guest was Magnus Magnusson, and the lexicographer was Hannah Robertson.
This game is notable for two reasons — 21 was by some way, the lowest winning score under the 9 round format, and the combined aggregate score of 32 is the lowest combined score in said format. This is also one of the very few games in which a contestant won, let alone became an octochamp, despite having three disallowed words in one game.
