Notes
According to Waddington, the conundrum round was originally set with the answer as RELAPSING, to which he 'incorrectly' buzzed with the answer SPANGLIER. It was then discovered that the word was indeed valid, and so a retake was shot with the original intended answer as the scramble.
This episode was also fondly remembered by fans of the series for the second numbers game; as the solution appeared straightforward, Carol suggested that Richard should attempt to solve the number's game. Richard correctly deduced that 25 x 4 = 100, however, he then declared 7 + 5 as the second part of the solution, and added it on to the 100 (in other words, his solution only added up to 112, one short of the target).
