'''Series 53''' ran from January 2005 to July 2005 and was the last series hosted by [[Richard Whiteley]]. It was won by [[John Mayhew]]. Six players qualified for the [[series]]' finals as [[Octochamp]]s with very little to choose between the top four players – just 27 points separated them. [[John Brackstone]] won a tight but low scoring game against [[Fred Reynolds]], and [[John Mayhew]] beat [[Chris Hunt]]. [[Jon O'Neill]] used all his skill on the numbers to beat [[Judith Young]], and [[Richard Heald]] triumphed against [[Ross Allatt]] meaning that the top four seeds, 3 of them with [[800 Club|800 points]] had made it through. Heald held Brackstone to a [[conundrum|crucial conundrum]] thanks to words like {{word|RABBITS}} and {{word|DEMERITS}}, but it was the #1 seed that solved the conundrum in 10 seconds to win the game. #2 seed John Mayhew also triumped against O'Neill, Mayhew lead by 1 point after 13 rounds and controversially O'Neill didn't choose four large numbers, which meant it was a crucial conundrum. Neither player could solve {{word|CONCIERGE}} meaning that Mayhew won the game by a single point.

'''Series 53''' ran from 4 January to 1 July 2005, and was the last series hosted by [[Richard Whiteley]] due to his sad death on 26 June. It was won by [[John Mayhew]].
  
With just 11 points separating them, the final promised to be a close game. Mayhew beat Brackstone with {{word|TASTEFUL}} and {{word|RELENTS}} but Brackstone struck back with {{word|UNSEATED}} and the second numbers game spot on. The game was poised {{score|76|76|Episode 3959}} going into the conundrum, but neither player managed to solve {{word|SIGNATURE}}. Therefore we needed a second conundrum, and Mayhew solved {{word|FALSIFIED}} in two second, and became [[Countdown]]'s 53rd champion. Brackstone, Mayhew and O'Neill returned for the [[Championship of Champions XII]].

Revision as of 13:50, 22 May 2020

Series 53 ran from 4 January to 1 July 2005, and was the last series hosted by Richard Whiteley due to his sad death on 26 June. It was won by John Mayhew.

Six players qualified for the series' finals as Octochamps with very little to choose between the top four players – just 27 points separated them. John Brackstone won a tight but low scoring game against Fred Reynolds, and John Mayhew beat Chris Hunt. Jon O'Neill used all his skill on the numbers to beat Judith Young, and Richard Heald triumphed against Ross Allatt meaning that the top four seeds, 3 of them with 800 points had made it through. Heald held Brackstone to a crucial conundrum thanks to words like RABBITS and DEMERITS, but it was the #1 seed that solved the conundrum in 10 seconds to win the game. #2 seed John Mayhew also triumped against O'Neill, Mayhew lead by 1 point after 13 rounds and controversially O'Neill didn't choose four large numbers, which meant it was a crucial conundrum. Neither player could solve CONCIERGE meaning that Mayhew won the game by a single point.

With just 11 points separating them, the final promised to be a close game. Mayhew beat Brackstone with TASTEFUL and RELENTS but Brackstone struck back with UNSEATED and the second numbers game spot on. The game was poised 76 – 76 going into the conundrum, but neither player managed to solve ARTGENIUS (SIGNATURE). Therefore we needed a second conundrum, and Mayhew solved FALSIFIED in two seconds, and became Countdown's 53rd champion. Brackstone, Mayhew and O'Neill returned for Championship of Champions XII.

An award was given in this series for the best viewer correspondence.
