Episode 7220

From Countdown

Episode 7220 was broadcast on 5 December 2019, as part of Series 81.

Zach Hart played Luke Johnson-Davies, with Luke Johnson-Davies winning 139 – 26. The Dictionary Corner guest was Suzannah Lipscomb, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Johnson-Davies' score of 139 was the highest ever achieved by a contestant on their début, eclipsing Elliott Mellor's record of 131 set in Series 80. It was also the highest ever achieved by a challenger against a daily champion at the time, bettering that of Hamish Williamson's 134 in Series 60; this has since been bettered by Stu Harkness's 148.
