Fiona Wood

Fiona Wood (née Willis) was a semi-finalist in Series 20, and a contestant in Series 90. As of her first appearances she was a secondary school student from Clackmannanshire, but by the time of her second round of shows, she was a qualified Chartered Accountant running her own Forensic Accountancy practice. She was originally from Clackmannanshire but since lives in neighbouring Kinross.

Appearances

Series 20 and CoC VI

She beat Roy Bendall in her first appearance, and won five more games before losing to Richard Stevens. Willis returned for the final stages as #3 seed, and beat Gordon Foy in the quarter-finals before losing to eventual series champion Liz Barber in the semis in a game that was transmitted on Willis' 16th birthday.

For reasons unknown, Willis did not compete in Championship of Champions V, instead returning in 1993 for Championship of Champions VI, beating Derek Coombs in the first round, but losing to eventual winner Wayne Summers in the semi-final.

Series 90

Just over 30 years later, Willis, now appearing under her married name Wood, made her return, and kicked off with victory against fellow returnee Jon Stitcher after solving a crucial conundrum.
