Episode 6158
From Countdown
Revision as of 07:57, 18 September 2018 by The Doctor (talk | contribs) (since this appears to be the new practice...)
Episode 6158 was broadcast on 22 June 2015, as part of Series 73.
Rhys Benjamin played Michael Stokes, with Rhys Benjamin winning 92 – 63. The Dictionary Corner guest was Colin Murray, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 8, Benjamin was not asked to spell his word, but since Rachel Riley displayed the word PLANE on the letters board following the round, this was Benjamin's "official" declaration, rather than PLAIN. Benjamin has since confirmed he intended PLAIN.
