Episode 2475
Episode 2475 was broadcast on 10 March 1999, as part of Series 40.
Stan Arnott played Phil O'Gorman, with Stan Arnott winning 61 – 41. The Dictionary Corner guest was Penny Smith, and the lexicographer was Mark Nyman.
NOTE: Arnott's solution to the second numbers game in Round 8 should have been disallowed, as he used the '2' twice when there was only one '2' in the selection. Therefore, whilst this error did not affect the outcome of the episode, with O'Gorman offering 220 (one away from the target) the final score should have been 51 – 48, assuming that O'Gorman's 220 solution was correct, rather than 61 – 41. Had this error been spotted at the time, then the 10 lost points would have meant that Arnott would not have qualified for the quarter-finals of this series.
