Revision as of 19:48, 5 December 2007
David Elias first appeared on Countdown on 18 January 1994, beating Gill Nickson 57-44 in the 12th heat of series 27. he won three more games before losing 51-45 to Robin Benoy, but his four wins were enough to see him return for the final rounds as #3 seed. There, he beat Alan Ward and Daniel Simonis on his way to the final against octochamp and hot favourite Richard Campbell. The final was a close affair, but David eventually ran out the 68-55 winner, and the 27th champion of Countdown. David returned for Championship of Champions VII, but was beaten in the first round by Suzanne Miles. he would return to Countdown one final time in 1996 for the supreme championship, but would lose in the first round 60-43 to boy wonder Andrew Perry.
In other occupations, he wrote questions for many quizzes such as The Weakest Link, The Krypton Factor, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
He died in December 2005.
