Peter Fenton was a quarter-finalist in Series 68. He is an Apterite and member of c4countdown.
He became the first contestant since Malcolm Fairy in September 1997 to qualify for the series finals despite winning only two heat games (as well as the first in any version of the 15-round format), due to the withdrawal of Rachael Moran.
In his quarter-final, he was defeated by Giles Hutchings despite spotting a nine-letter word that the latter missed. His overall points total is 348 (a precise average of 87 points per game).
He was also the second player to win a game under the new 15-round format, following Andy Platt.
