Revision as of 18:31, 25 June 2020
Episode 5653 was broadcast on 28 February 2013, and was the second semi-final of the 30th Birthday Championship.
Jon O'Neill played Conor Travers, with Conor Travers winning 120 – 102. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jenny Eclair, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Travers' perfect performance was the sixth in the history of 15-round televised Countdown, as well as being the fifth of the series and Travers' third in a row.
This episode is also notable for the fact that between them, O'Neill and Travers scored maximum points in 28 of the 29 picks that they offered: had O'Neill omitted the D from SULPHATED, it would have been the only known "double max" game (where both contestants achieved the max, prior to the conundrum).
This episode was repeated on 25 June 2020.
