Episode 6959 was broadcast on 24 November 2018, as part of Series 79.
Andrew Jackson played Sue Booton, with Andrew Jackson winning 103 – 42. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Due to Formula 1 racing coverage overlapping Countdown's normal time slot on Friday 23 November, this episode was moved to 2:45pm on the following day (but started late at 2:55pm), making it the first Countdown episode to have been shown on a Saturday since Episode 4077 more than 12.5 years ago.
