Revision as of 19:48, 5 December 2007

Michael Calder first appeared on Countdown on 31 January 2000, beating Peter Hindes 59-49 in a nail-biting game, only triumphing after a sudden death conundrum. Michael went on to win a further 7 games, including another via a sudden death conundrum, and returned for the final rounds as and octochamp and #2 seed. He beat Helen Wrigglesworth in the quarter-finals and Terry O'Farrell in the semi-finals, on his way to a final showdown with John Hastings. In the final, Michael got off to a roaring start, spotting the brilliant 9-letter word MYOGLOBIN to take an 18-0 lead, and never looked back. Michael eventually ran out the 101-72 winner, becoming the 42nd champion of Countdown in the process. Michael was invited back for Championship of Champions XI in 2003, but was beaten in the first round by Loz Sands.
