Neil Zussman with Susie Dent.

Neil Zussman is an Octochamp from Series 60. Zussman started off with a win over Kate Richardson and followed it up with a thrashing of Kevin Pidduck. The next game was of a very high standard, leading to Zussman leading 101 – 94 going into the conundrum. However he avoided losing with a century by buzzing in after half a second with HAMBURGER. His next game was just as dramatic, as professional DJ Simon Greening came back from 20 points behind in the last two rounds before Zussman again scraped through on a second conundrum. His next two games featured scores of 101 and 108 before dropping down to 81 although this time it wasn't a crucial conundrum. He finished his run with 97. Neil was the first ever octochamp under Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley.

He returned to the finals as No.5 seed, where he defeated the No.4 seed Shane Roberts in the quarters, before meeting No.1 seed Kirk Bevins the following day. After Kirk found SUBSPACE in an early letters game, Neil pulled the game back level with POLITEST, and with the two players remaining evenly matched upto the conundrum, Kirk solved the conundrum AMSPECIAL in half a second, ending Neil's run.

Neil appeared on Countdown again on 30 March 2011, where he was the audience member who solved the conundrum after it defeated both contestants.
