Episode 4424 was broadcast on 27 August 2007, as part of Series 57.
Grant Woods played Jeffrey Hansford, with Jeffrey Hansford winning 96 – 79. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ken Bruce, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This episode marked the show's return to The Leeds Studios after the previous nine episodes having been recorded in the Granada Studios, Manchester.
In a rare error, the second Teatime Teaser (SEAHORSE) is not a valid word; the ODE2r gives it only as SEA HORSE.
