scored the season's highest score of 122 points on
the popular programme last week.
Murray, who owns four border terriers, scored 100
points or more in every one of his eight games.
He clocked up 110 points yesterday against hair
salon manager Simon Pinder (69pts) with words
including 'feathers' and the nine-lettered
'mediators'.
The Irishman solved the majority of his numbers
rounds and stunned viewers with the speed of his
conundrum solving during his phenomenal eight-day
run. |
