Episode 2222 was broadcast on 20 March 1998, as part of Series 38.
Jean Gallacher played Alex Davis, with Jean Gallacher winning 50 – 32. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jan Harvey, and the lexicographer was Mark Nyman.
Gallacher won the game after Davis mispronounced the crucial conundrum PROBOSCIS with three seconds left, which Gallacher then solved as soon as the clock was restarted. This was deemed as controversial at the time, as Davis had technically not given an incorrect answer, only a mispronunciation of an obscure word, while Gallacher admitted on the show that she would not have been able to give the correct answer had Davis not buzzed in first. As a result, Davis was given an opportunity in the following series later in the year.
