Episode 6017
From Countdown
Revision as of 20:43, 4 February 2015 by JRTerrier24 (talk | contribs)
Episode 6017 was broadcast on 23 October 2014, as part of Series 71.
Jonny Rye played George Ford, with George Ford winning 102 – 92. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dave Myers, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
The result hinged on Dent's controversial decision to disallow Rye's HEADWAYS. Correctly allowing this word would also have increased the max to 126.
