Episode 5398 was broadcast on 16 December 2011, and was the Series 65 grand final.
Carl Williams played Graeme Cole, with Graeme Cole winning 105 – 95, after a tiebreak conundrum. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jon Culshaw, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This was the last episode presented by Jeff Stelling.
This game was also notable for the commercial breaks, and hence Teatime Teasers, being moved to between Rounds 6 & 7 and Rounds 11 & 12.
