Championship of Champions V

From Countdown

Championship of Champions V ran from 31 December 1990 to 8 January 1991, and was won by Tim Morrissey. The tournament, specifically its second semi-final, is perhaps most famous for having spawned an out-take in which both Corr and Pearse declared the vulgar word WANKERS.

8 Liz Barber 8 399

NOTE: Hale's score was read out on the show as being 358, but this is wrong and would have made her the 8th seed.
