From Countdown
Revision as of 13:00, 23 June 2020 by Mclarenguy22 (talk | contribs)
Episode 6992 was broadcast on 18 January 2019, and was the first semi-final of Championship of Champions XV.
Philip Aston played Zarte Siempre, with Zarte Siempre winning 106 – 73. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jon Culshaw, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This is the first, and to date only, time a contestant has beaten the same player three times.
NOTE: In Round 8, Siempre checked with Dent on the validity of MISREADER, however it was cut from the final broadcast.
