'''Peter Hutchings''' was a semi-finalist from [[series 40]]. He made his debut defeating [[John Morrison]], and he went onto win a further seven games to become an [[octochamp]]. His [[episode 2526|final heat game]] is notorious for being what is considered the 'worst game in Countdown history', which Peter won 21-11 (after leading 8-0 at half time). Nonetheless, Peter returned for the final rounds as #1 seed, and beat [[Stan Arnott]] in the quarter-final before losing to eventual series champion [[Terence English]] in the semis. Peter would return to Countdown in 2003 to record a [[special game]] against his daughter [[Sally Hutchings]], who tragically died before the programme could be broadcast. Sally won the game 104-87.
