Episode 6017
From Countdown

Jonny Rye played George Ford, with George Ford winning 102 – 92. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dave Myers, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent. The result hinged on Susie's controversial decision to disallow Jonny's HEADWAYS. Correctly allowing this word would also have increased the max to 126.
