-On Simpson's original début appearance on 12 November 2009, he lost by a score of 68 to [[Ryan Taylor]]'s personal best of 123. 11 years and 1 day later, Simpson made his "second début" on 13 November 2020. After having two words disallowed, Simpson maxed all the numbers rounds and raced away to beat previous [[Series 1]] contestant [[Andy Bruno]] to end Bruno's second run in his sixth game. In his fifth game of his second stint, Simpson won with a score of 132, the highest score on the show in more than 10 months. This was followed by a second consecutive score [[List of 15-round scores over 125|above 125]] in his sixth win which included three nine-letter words, equalling the [[List of Countdown records|record]] for the most nine-letter words in a [[15 round format (new)|"new" 15 rounder]]. In a reversal of fortune, however, his run was terminated in his seventh game courtesy of a crucial conundrum solve by [[Leo Smith]]. Simpson did not make the finals of the longest ever series despite winning 6 games and totalling 794 points (an average of just over 113), meaning he has the highest preliminary point total and average score for a non-octochamp and non-finalist in ''Countdown'' history. Combined with his 2009 appearance, Simpson's overall record of points is 862 points.
