Episode 1133

< Previous | Next >

This episode introduced the decade-long "wings" set, replacing the wooden set used between Series 18 and 21.

Episode 1133 was broadcast on 1 July 1991, as part of Series 22.

Una Szewc played Miri Purse, with Una Szewc winning 41 – 25. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Stilgoe, and the lexicographer was Freda Thornton.

This episode introduced the "wings" set — the original colour of which was red — and the pencam, although the pencam was only used in this episode to prove that "pencam" itself wasn't in the dictionary.
