Kenneth Michie
Kenneth Michie was the runner-up of series 31. He beat David Benson in his first appearance, and won a further 4 games before losing to Madeleine Evans. Kenneth returned for the final stages as #3 seed, and beat Peter Burt and Chris Williams in the quarter- and semi-finals respectively. The final against David Acton went right down to a crucial conundrum, but unfortunately for Kenneth, it was David who got there first, meaning Kenneth had to settle for second best on the day. Kenneth returned for Championship of Champions VIII, and beat Chris Colsmann and Darren Shacklady on his way to the final, where Kenneth was comfortably beaten by Chris Rogers.
Kenneth would return to Countdown screens some years later for a special game, a rematch of his final against David Acton. kenneth would emerge victorious on this occasion.
