Episode 1108
From Countdown
Episode 1108 was broadcast on 25 February 1991, as part of Series 21.
Gillian Tickle played Suzanne Kinnersley, with the game ending in a 49-all draw. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Stilgoe, and the lexicographer was Alexandra Clayton.
For reasons unknown (presumably by accident), the theme music from the show's opening credits was played in place of the clock music during Round 4. The audience’s applause was also replayed during the last 7 seconds which was cut out at the end of the time limit.
