C1 buzzes on 3 seconds to say AUTOLOGY which is incorrect.
C2 does not buzz.
The answer was TAUTOLOGY.
Final Score: 123–51 (max 135)
An incorrect guess from our NO1 seed but he realises his error when he left the first letter off but it is left to Susie Dent and our recap writer to solve the conundrum. Another fantastic perfomance from our number one seed Arthur who advances to the Semi-Finals on 26th June where he will meet the winner of Jessica Pratesi or Mark Goodliffe in the last quarter final that is coming to our screens on Tuesday...........take nothing away from Isabelle she will be proud of what she has achieved 51 points is a pretty respectable score but it was always going to be a tall order to beat Arthur, join me again for the next quarter final battle in the meantime it is bye for now.
