Episode 5741
Episode 5741 was broadcast on 26 July 2013, as part of Series 69.
Zarte Siempre played Brenda Widger, with Zarte Siempre winning 103 – 49. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jon Culshaw, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This was notable for a blooper in round 11. After Zarte declared AREOLA, Nick then introduced the Origins of Words section as 'Susie's Special Spot' unware of the unfortunate connotations to the round 11 declaration. This then followed with Susie breaking into a laughing fit. According to Zarte, filming was stopped for 15 minutes whilst Susie and everyone else composed themselves. The said blooper was later shown on an episode of 'It'll be Alright on the Night'.
