Episode 7908
From Countdown
Revision as of 00:38, 8 December 2022 by Ron Stowmarket (talk | contribs) (I've just watched it back and it was Rachel's word rather than Rufus'. Rufus' only contribution for that round was to say Rick's word was allowed and Erma's wasn't.)
Episode 7908 was broadcast on 6 December 2022, as part of Series 86.
Rick Singh played Erma Dyall, with Rick Singh winning 71 – 18. The Dictionary Corner guest was Rufus Hound, who also stood in as lexicographer while Susie Dent was absent for unknown reasons.
NOTE: Rachel Riley offered antedote ☓ as an 8 in Round 2 and displayed it on the board but the word is not to be found in the Oxford Dictionary Online.
