'''Series 40''' ran from December 1998 to June 1999. It was won by [[Terence English]].
+
'''Series 40''' ran from 28 December 1998 to 25 June 1999. The fortieth of 53 series presented by [[Richard Whiteley]], it was won by [[Terence English]]. This was also the first series in which the Countdown [[teapot]] was added into the champion's [[goody bag]].
 +
 
 +
The quarter-final line-up for this series was notable for several reasons.
 +
 
 +
Firstly, two contestants from the previous series qualified for the quarter finals of this series:
 +
 
 +
[[Glynn Leaney]] had qualified for the Series 39 quarter finals as #8 by winning the last six games of the series, but had opted instead to return and start the new series as Champion. In winning the first two games, he became an Octochamp and qualified for the quarter finals of this series as #2 seed.
 +
 
 +
[[Vicky Smith (Series 39)|Vicky Smith]], meanwhile, had qualified as #6 seed for this series without actually appearing outright in a single episode of series 40. She had won 6 wins from 7 games during Series 39 to qualify for the quarter finals as #7 seed, but was unable to make the studio dates due to illness, so her score was carried forward into this series.
 +
 
 +
Secondly, [[Stan Arnott]] qualified as #8 seed due to extra points received from an administrative error in his [[Episode 2475|second game]] that went unnoticed. Has this error been noticed, then he would have failed to qualify for the quarter finals, and [[John Morrison]] would have qualified in his place.

Revision as of 18:46, 3 May 2020

Series 40 ran from 28 December 1998 to 25 June 1999. The fortieth of 53 series presented by Richard Whiteley, it was won by Terence English. This was also the first series in which the Countdown teapot was added into the champion's goody bag.

The quarter-final line-up for this series was notable for several reasons.

Firstly, two contestants from the previous series qualified for the quarter finals of this series:

Glynn Leaney had qualified for the Series 39 quarter finals as #8 by winning the last six games of the series, but had opted instead to return and start the new series as Champion. In winning the first two games, he became an Octochamp and qualified for the quarter finals of this series as #2 seed.

Vicky Smith, meanwhile, had qualified as #6 seed for this series without actually appearing outright in a single episode of series 40. She had won 6 wins from 7 games during Series 39 to qualify for the quarter finals as #7 seed, but was unable to make the studio dates due to illness, so her score was carried forward into this series.

Secondly, Stan Arnott qualified as #8 seed due to extra points received from an administrative error in his second game that went unnoticed. Has this error been noticed, then he would have failed to qualify for the quarter finals, and John Morrison would have qualified in his place.

Seed table

Rank Name Wins Points
1 Peter Hutchings 8 422
2 Glynn Leaney 8 405
3 Pamela Roud 6 409
4 Ricky Cohen 6 390
5 Terence English 6 371
6 Vicky Smith * 6 346
7 Nancy Roberts 6 308
8 Stan Arnott 5 308
* Vicky Smith appeared in Series 39 but was unable to make the final recordings and so was invited back to the finals of Series 40.
Between Series 38 and Series 59, players were sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums were not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points were sorted by highest score.
