Kirk Bevins, a recent Maths graduate, appeared on Countdown near the start of Series 51. He played reasonably well, though not brilliantly, and was beaten by octochamp Richard Pay. In one round he went blank as he could only see SHAGMAN, and comically guessed TURROTING for the conundrum instead of TORTURING.
