Episode 38 was broadcast on 22 April 1983, as part of Series 2.
Geoffrey Weeks played Maurice Packman, with Maurice Packman winning 61 – 42. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kenneth Williams.
It is extremely unlikely that CARRIAGES would ever be used as a conundrum again on account of it being an -S plural.
