Revision as of 12:21, 11 July 2021 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode 2410 was broadcast on 9 December 1998, as part of Series 39.
Noel Godson played Glynn Leaney, with Glynn Leaney winning 41 – 33. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gyles Brandreth, and the lexicographer was Hannah Robertson.
NOTE: The conundrum was illegal, as HOOVERING is derived from the word HOOVER, which is capitalised in the COD9 due to being based on a brand name.
