Episode 1401 was broadcast on 15 July 1993, as part of Series 26.
Chris Feetenby played Steven Draper, with Chris Feetenby winning 38 – 37. The Dictionary Corner guest was David Jacobs, and the lexicographer was Richard Samson.
NOTE: There was an out-take in this episode which involved Richard Whiteley calling Steven's surname incorrectly as "Gately" at the end of the show, presumably being mixed up with the following day's contestant Margaret Gateley [1].
