Episode 6259

< Previous | Next >

Episode 6259 was broadcast on 27 November 2015, as part of Series 73.

James Richards played Indika Sarathchandra, with James Richards winning 104 – 38. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Madeley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 2, Sarathchandra was not asked to spell her word, which was also found by Madeley in Dictionary Corner; therefore, it is possible that either or both of them may have intended the word PEEKING rather than PEAKING.
