From Countdown
Revision as of 12:26, 20 May 2019 by Elliott (talk | contribs) (Rounds)
The highest ever score on Countdown!

Episode 7077 was broadcast on 17 May 2019, as part of Series 80.

Elliott Mellor played John Hadfield, with Elliott Mellor winning 152 – 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Mellor's score of 152 broke the former record of the highest score ever on Countdown held by Zarte Siempre with a score of 150, exactly four months earlier in Episode 6991. Furthermore, his score was the highest ever achieved by just spotting three nine-letter words. The winning margin of 112 points is the joint-largest, equalling winning margins in Series 72 and Series 64, by Tom Cappleman and Tom Barnes respectively.
