Episode 6750

< Previous | Next >

Episode 6750 was broadcast on 26 January 2018, as part of Series 78.

Chris Thorn played Sam Prouse, with Chris Thorn winning 93 – 77. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Inverdale, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

In Round 1, Dictionary Corner's offering of APESHIT was bleeped out entirely. Compared to Episode 6618, only part of that word was done so in Round 8.

Notably, the numbers targets in this game were identical to those in Episode 6884, aired later in the year.
