From Countdown
Revision as of 15:12, 6 July 2022 by JohnnyCanuck (talk | contribs) (hipster Harvey getting them before it was cool)
Episode 466 was broadcast on 11 November 1986, as part of Series 10.
Harvey Freeman played Roy James, with Harvey Freeman winning 75 – 10. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bill Tidy, and the lexicographer was Freda Thornton.
Freeman's 75 points is the joint-highest 9-round score ever achieved without a nine-letter word. This record is shared by Richard Campbell (Episode 1504). Freeman's performance was also a Jos game, since he was beaten only by the unspotted word LUTEOUS.
