Alan Young played Ian Gough, with Alan Young winning 108 – 53. The Dictionary Corner guest was Noreen Khan, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Khan's guest anecdote was not broadcast during this episode as they discussed her meeting the late Queen Elizabeth II, therefore the show's introduction was extended to keep to the running time.
