Episode 5652 was broadcast on 27 February 2013, and was the first semi-final of the 30th Birthday Championship.
Jonathan Rawlinson played Jack Hurst, with Jack Hurst winning 116 – 105. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jenny Eclair, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Fifty-one vowels were selected during this game, the most ever. Note that this record cannot be beaten under the "new" 15 round format, as doing so in said format would require selections containing fewer than the minimum four consonants.
This episode was repeated on 24 June 2020.
