Graham Moonie-Dalton

Graham Moonie-Dalton was a contestant in Series 65 and 87. He was a Media Officer and was born in The Netherlands, grew up in Scotland, but now lives in London. At the time of his Series 65 appearance, he was working for the Labour Party, but by the time of his Series 87 games, he was employed by the Prospect trade union.

Appearances on the programme

Series 65

Graham first appeared on 13 June 2011, at the start of Jeff Stelling's last series, where he was unfortunate to run into would-be Octochamp and eventual series champion Graeme Cole. It was a very close-run game which Moonie-Dalton took to a crucial conundrum ARABACORN, but Cole was the one who unscrambled it to CARBONARA, condemning Graham to defeat.

Series 87

Just under 12 years later though, he was allowed to come back. And this time, he earned his teapot against fellow returnee and series-finalist Adam Dexter by turning RICHVALUE into VEHICULAR to also be on the right end of a crucial conundrum. After racking up the sixth win of his second stint, he confirmed his place in the series finals of Series 87 due to the series having only two octochamps; at the time the lowest in 13 years since Series 62.
