Episode 379 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 9 February 2012, as part of Series 4.
Alan Nash played Peter Szantry, with Alan Nash winning 73 – 24.
This game marks a very rare instance in which a century was available in (a close variant of) a game in the Countdown 9 round format. Also it's worth noting that this have been occured in two games in a row, although some of the 9-letter words may not have been present in the Macquarie Dictionary at the time.
