Launchballer: Doubt it, given that that production rule is a consequence of an EU regulation making having kids on the show incompatible with the show's recording schedule. Though do put back if you have a source.

Several others have since achieved this feat as well. His total aggregate winning margin over his eight preliminary games was 544, a record which stood for three years before being broken by [[Andy Platt]] in [[Series 68]].
