From Countdown
Episode 4034 was broadcast on 13 February 2006, as part of Series 54.
Paul Howe played Clare Hughes, with Paul Howe winning 91 - 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Carol Thatcher, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
The neat solution to Round 5's numbers game was missed by Carol Vorderman and suggested by Des Lynam himself from the presenter's chair!
