Episode 1017 was broadcast on 20 July 1990, as part of Series 20.
Duncan Dale-Emberton played Derek Coombs, with Derek Coombs winning 63 – 33. The Dictionary Corner guest was Eve Pollard, and the lexicographer was Simon Mason.
Dale-Emberton was the returning champion from the final heat game of Series 19, and was brought back here against Coombs, the previous day's winner; as such, this is a rare instance of a heat featuring two returning champions.
