 '''Innis Carson''' was an [[octochamp]] and semi-finalist in [[Series 61]] and a participant in the [[30th Birthday Championship]]. He was a Scottish chemistry student at Edinburgh University.
-He made his debut in June 2009, and impressed with his high scores and rapid conundrum solves, his first 6 each being solved in under a second. His score of 861, made him the No.3 seed of Series 61, and after dispatching [[Jeffrey Burgin]] in the quarters, he came up against the No.2 seed, [[Chris Davies (Series 61)|Chris Davies]], and after beating him with {{word|INTENSE}} and {{word|SOLENOID}}, he had a 15 point lead with 2 rounds left, but he only got 1 away in the last numbers game, leaving it all hinging on the crucial [[conundrum]] {{word|EPITUSSLE}}, and with less than 5 seconds left, Davies unscrambled it to {{word|SLEEPSUIT}}, giving him the win by {{score|102|97}}.
+==Appearances on the show==
 He returned to Countdown in 2013, as one of 41 contestants taking part in the [[30th Birthday Championship]]. He received a bye to the first round, and won his first game against [[Series 64]] runner-up [[Adam Gillard]] by a score of {{score|116|91}}. He then played [[Series 60]] champion [[Kirk Bevins]] in a phenomenal match, decided on a second conundrum, after both Carson and Bevins incorrectly guessed the first one.
 After filming the Countdown finals, he won the online [[Apterous Winter Closed 2009 Speed Demon]] tournament.
-In May 2010, he attended and won his first unofficial [[Countdown tournament]], [[Co:Lon 2010]], and he returned to defend his title at [[Co:Lon 2011]], but fared less well second time around.
