Neil Holland

From Countdown
Neil Holland in Series 90.

Neil Holland was a finalist in Series 90. He was a baker/cookery teacher at Loaf Social Enterprise Ltd. from southern Birmingham, but originally from Lincolnshire.

He entered the end-of-series finals as the eighth-seeded wild card, as the original finalist, James Swinnerton, was unable to make the recordings due to a pre-booked holiday. In the first quarter-final of the series, Holland was eliminated by number one seed, Chris Kirby, although Holland did manage to win two letters games and take a six-point lead in one of them. Holland finished his Countdown run with an overall total of 583 points across seven games.
