Episode 1903
Episode 1903 was broadcast on 16 December 1996, and was the third quarter-final in the final stages of the Supreme Championship.
Joyce Cansfield played Allan Saldanha, with Allan Saldanha winning 67 – 50. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nigel Rees, and the lexicographer was Catherine Clarke.
Saldanha's performance was the first, and the only one in the 9-round era, where a max game has been achieved in the finals of a series. Notably, this was the first occasion of a player getting the max score in every round without getting the best solutions — in Round 4, Saldanha still scored the max of 7 points with his declared target of 893, but he failed to find the closest possible target of 891.
