Episode 2682

< Previous | Next >

Episode 2682 was broadcast on 6 January 2000, as part of Series 42.

Helen Wrigglesworth played Malcolm McInnes, with Malcolm McInnes winning 40 - 38. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Digance, and the lexicographer was Mark Nyman.

During the game, Helen offered the word ROADSIDE, which was controversially disallowed by Mark Nyman due to its non-appearance in the ODE 10th edition (which was introduced at the start of that day's filming). It was later decided that this was a bad call and she was therefore invited back to continue her run some weeks later in Episode 2717. The incident also caused the show to revert to the 9th edition of the ODE, from Episode 2685 for the rest of Series 42.
