Peter Coutts

Peter Coutts was a contestant in Series 47.

He's notable for being one of the most successful contestants not to make the finals of a Series. He won 7 games including a score of 102 – 37 against Lee Fisher and looked like becoming the series' next octochamp. However in his final game he ran into multi-quiz champion David Stainer and lost by just two points. Coutts looked like a likely candidate for the quarter-finals, but wasn't invited back because the series had 8 Octochamps.
