Revision as of 12:14, 16 March 2021 by The Doctor (talk | contribs)
Episode 16 was broadcast on 29 November 1982, as part of Series 1.
Josef Kollar played Andrew Bruno, with Andrew Bruno winning 57 – 22. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kenneth Williams, the lexicographer was Mary, and the arithmetician was Dr Linda Barrett.
As per the previous episode, it is extremely unlikely that the conundrum will ever be used again on account of it being a plural ending in -S.
