Revision as of 15:40, 16 July 2021 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode M45 was broadcast from 5 February 1990 to 9 February 1990, as part of the Countdown Masters.
Mark Nyman played Harvey Freeman, with Mark Nyman winning 76 – 68. The lexicographer was Catherine Clarke.
NOTE: The 3rd conundrum, TOUCHLINE was illegal, as it is only hyphenated in the COD7. Had Freeman solved a valid conundrum in its place, he would have won.
