Episode 5264 was broadcast on 16 May 2011, as part of Series 64.

Tom Barnes played Christine Buffrey, with Tom Barnes winning 119 – 7. The Dictionary Corner guest was Delia Smith, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This would be subsequently be equalled twice more before being toppled just over eight years later in Episode 7080 with a winning margin of 133 by Elliott Mellor.
