Episode 7846
From Countdown
Episode 7846 was broadcast on 9 September 2022, as part of Series 86.
Joseph Bartram played Rob Chapman, with Joseph Bartram winning 82 – 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nina Wadia, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This episode begun at 14:15, aired without adverts due to Channel 4's coverage of the death of Queen Elizabeth II the previous day and therefore finished ahead of schedule.
Both contestants were returning contestants, with Bartram having previously appeared in Series 63 and Chapman in Series 62.
