 '''Tom Hargreaves''' was an [[octochamp]] and runner-up in [[Series 47]], a semi-finalist in [[Championship of Champions XI]] and a participant in the [[30th Birthday Championship]].
-At 16-years-old, he was one of the youngest octochamps in the game's history and the first one under the [[15 round format]]. He ran off the first eight heat games of the series with a then record score of 850 — 106.25 points per game. It included a crucial conundrum {{score|103|92}} against [[Elfie Winterton]]. Unfortunately, Winterton needed to write the conundrums down before she could solve them, and Hargreaves got it in just a few seconds, before she had written it down. In the quarter-final, he faced [[Mike Pullin]] who held him to a crucial conundrum, mainly thanks to the word {{word|HUNKIEST}}, but it was Tom that solved {{word|SIDSDIMES}} first. In the semi-final, he faced [[Kevin Thurlow]] and Hargreaves beat Thurlow, as he scored maximums in every round but two, although he couldn't solve the conundrum {{word|OUTERSUNS}} he was in the final with a score over 100.

-There he faced #1 seed [[Chris Wills]] and the final turned out not to be a classic as Hargreaves missed a numbers of words and was not able to beat Chris on the conundrum. Wills took the game with a score of [[episode 3279|110]]. Hargreaves was invited back a year later to take part in the [[Championship of Champions XI]] where he beat [[John Rainsden]] and the unbeaten [[Ben Wilson]] to qualify for the semi-finals against [[Graham Nash]]. Hargreaves looked off-par against Nash with three disallowed words, including {{word|RESCALING}} when Nash had the only valid 9, {{word|CLEARINGS}}. This ended Hargreaves' run as he finished with 12 wins out of 14, his only two defeats were against two [[Series]] champions, Chris Wills and Graham Nash.

-He returned to Countdown in 2013, as one of 41 contestants taking part in the [[30th Birthday Championship]]. He won his first match against [[Series 62]] runner-up [[Nicki Sellars]] by a score of {{score|117|57}}, before losing to the [[Series 58]] champion [[David O'Donnell (Series 58)|David O'Donnell]] in round 1 in a game that ended {{score|111|86}}.
