Ned Pendleton
Ned Pendleton was an octochamp and finalist in Series 64. He is a travel enthusiast from London.
Pendleton debuted on 17 February 2011 in a game against Mark Jones. Despite having offered invalid words in the first two rounds, a good performance on the numbers (his preferred selection was 4 large) helped him to a 69 – 62 victory. His next two games were fairly close, but his scores improved and he completed an octochamp run on 28 February.
He was #5 seed for the quarter-finals, meaning that he drew fellow octochamp Andy McGurn. The game went down to a sudden death conundrum ONIONPIGS, to which Pendleton buzzed in first, but offered SPOONING which was incorrect. McGurn correctly got POISONING, meaning that Pendleton suffered his only ever defeat. He also holds the dubious honour of being the first player to ever guess multiple conundrums incorrectly during the same game (outside of the Countdown Masters).
Pendleton is also Apterite and a member of c4Countdown.
After appearing on the show, he made his CO-event debut at Co:Lon 2011, followed up by an appearance at CobliviLon.
