This was the first episode since the previous Friday, with the usual Monday slot taken up with Bank Holiday programming.
This episode was recorded on 6th February 1998.
This edition features lecturer John Wright as one of the contestants. Another, unrelated, contestant with the same name appeared in Episode #7.78 (2000).
Faced with a grid on spiders, contestant Sally Ann Davies selects the zebra spider, pronouncing the first word the US way (zee-bra) rather than the UK way (zeb-ra). When Bob Monkhouse repeats her answer, he does so with the usual UK pronunciation.
The grid subjects featured on this edition are:
Main Grids: Types of spider; Collective names for hobbyists.
Auction Grids: DJs who have had a UK Top 40 hit single; Martial arts that came from Japan.
Final Grid: Breeds of cow.
