Episode 1504 was broadcast on 8 March 1994, as part of Series 27.
Graeme Simister played Richard Campbell, with Richard Campbell winning 75 – 58. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jenny Hanley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Campbell's 75 points is the joint-highest 9-round score ever achieved without a nine-letter word, shared by Harvey Freeman on 11 November 1986.
Notably, in Round 4, the numbers game could have been solved simply as 100 = 100, but Richard Whiteley encouraged the contestants to find alternative methods. This is the only recorded instance in which it has been possible to solve a numbers game without using any mathematical operators at all, outside of Catsdown.
