Marcus Hares

Marcus Hares, during his spell in Series 63.

Marcus Hares was a contestant in Series 32 and an octochamp and finalist in Series 63.

He still enjoys the game, and 13 years after his first appearance began playing it on Apterous. He is now one of the most active Apterites, running the hugely popular ATP Tournaments and serving as the title player in the sixth series of Zarte Siempre's The Mole Apterous chat show.

Outside of Countdown, he appeared on Fifteen-To-One in 1998.
