Revision as of 21:35, 16 July 2021 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)

Episode 6287 was broadcast on 15 January 2016, and was the second quarter-final of Championship of Champions XIV.

Andy Platt played Dylan Taylor, with Dylan Taylor winning 127 – 125. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Inverdale, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This episode is notable for two reasons: firstly, it featured a joint score of 252 points, the second-highest ever achieved in the new 15-round format as well as the third-highest full stop; additionally, Platt's losing score of 125 was the highest of all time, beating the prior record (jointly held by Matthew Shore and Chris Davies) by a full eight points.

This episode was repeated on 10 July 2020.
