Episode ZD96
Episode ZD96 was broadcast on 9 September 2021, as part of ZoomDown Series 4.
Game 1
Stu Harkness played Rachael Montgomery, with Rachael Montgomery winning 98 – 78. The Dictionary Corner guest was Matthew Tassier, and the lexicographers were George Armstrong and Graeme Cole.
Note: Montgomery's buzz on the conundrum was originally not accepted, as the buzzer sounded after the music stopped. However, after carefully reviewing the footage, it was noted her name in the graphics lit up just before the music ended and before the buzzer sounded. Therefore, in the following episode, it was decided that 10 points would be added to her final score and her preliminary points total.
