From Countdown
Revision as of 20:36, 13 August 2021 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode 1339 was broadcast on 19 January 1993, as part of Series 25.
Mike Drew played Margaret McHugh, with Margaret McHugh winning 62 – 52, after a tie-break conundrum. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jenny Hanley, and the lexicographer was Richard Samson.
NOTE: Both contestants' declarations of POSTINGS in Round 7 should have been disallowed, as POSTING cannot be pluralised in the COD8, so the final score should have been 44 – 54.
