Episode 6708
From Countdown
Revision as of 16:56, 13 November 2017 by JohnnyCanuck (talk | contribs)
Episode 6708 was broadcast on 13 November 2017, as part of Series 77.
Graeme Staples played Mike Brain, with Graeme Staples winning 85 – 60. The Dictionary Corner guest was Margaret Mountford, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 5, Brain was not asked to spell his word; therefore, he may have intended the word PRIED rather than PRIDE.
The W on the conundrum solution board was in fact an upside-down M.
