Revision as of 16:11, 12 July 2021 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode 6494 was broadcast on 3 January 2017, as part of Series 76.
Richard Hayward played Darren Godfrey, with Darren Godfrey winning 92 – 86. The Dictionary Corner guest was Alastair Stewart, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Beginning with this episode, Countdown was sponsored by Ibuleve Gel.
In a rare error, when Rachel Riley displayed the Dictionary Corner word JETSAM on the letters board in Round 12, she misspelt it as jetsom ☓.
