Ray Norris played Robert Houston, with Robert Houston winning 50 – 27. The Dictionary Corner guest was Simon Williams, and the lexicographer was Simon Mason.
NOTE: The conundrum should not have been used, as it has 2 valid solutions: BOLSTERED given by Houston, and LOBSTERED, the method of catching lobsters.
