Episode 7851
From Countdown
Revision as of 19:35, 16 September 2022 by CountdownChloe (talk | contribs)
Episode 7851 was broadcast on 16 September 2022, as part of Series 86.
Alan Young played Nigel Deans, with Alan Young winning 114 – 36. The Dictionary Corner guest was Rick Edwards, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Young's declaration of BIOTICS in R5 was wrongly allowed as BIOTIC is an adjective; adjectives cannot be pluralised. This would have changed the score to 107 – 41.
The solution for 638 in Round 9 was given by Edwards.
