Callum Todd played Abdirizak Hirsi, with Abdirizak Hirsi winning 99 – 89, after a tie-break conundrum. The Dictionary Corner guest was Michaela Strachan, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This is the only occasion to date in which a 15-round series champion has ever lost a heat game (excluding the prior appearances of returnees such as Junaid Mubeen). Moreover, Hirsi attracted controversy for his conundrum buzzes, which some C4Countdown forumites took as examples of the Hansfording technique.
