Episode 7319

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7319 was broadcast on 10 August 2020 as part of Series 82, and was the first game after the COVID-19 hiatus.

Liam Goulsdon played Brendan Russell-Cooper, with Brendan Russell-Cooper winning 90 - 72. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This episode was notable for several reasons:

Firstly, in line with government guidelines at the time of recording, measures were put into place to obey social distancing, such as: - Further distancing between Susie and the Dictionary Corner guest. - The usage of microphones which were placed on the table, instead of being attached to the clothing of the contestants.

In addition, this was the first episode to use a digital CGI conundrum.
