Danny Hamilton was an octochamp from Series 48.

He won eight impressive heat games, including a crucial conundrum win against David Nickeas who was just one round away from being an Octochamp. In the quater-final he defeated Julia Wilkinson, but was soundly beaten by Julian Fell in the semi-finals, being beaten 146 – 77. Fell's score from that game still stands today as the highest score of all time.

Danny is also remembered as one of the tallest contestants of all time, standing approximately 6' 8" tall.
