Episode 963 was broadcast on 5 February 1990, as part of Series 19.
John Young played Maureen Harmer, with Maureen Harmer winning 33 – 20. The Dictionary Corner guest was Lance Percival, and the lexicographer was Simon Mason.
Richard Whiteley stated that he was awarding John with 10 points for the conundrum, as he was so close to getting it right, but would not have done so had it affected the outcome of the match. This makes the final score 33 – 30.
