Episode 7470
From Countdown
Episode 7470 was broadcast on 23 March 2021, as part of Series 83.
Luke Boynton played Matthew Hallas, with Luke Boynton winning 136 – 10. The presenter was Nick Hewer, the Dictionary Corner guest was Paul Zenon, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: After Round 13, Hewer incorrectly announced the current score as 112 – 10.
Boynton's performance was a Jos game; he was only ever beaten by the computer, with Dent and Zenon failing to spot the maxes in rounds 2 or 12.
