James Burley was an octochamp in Series 83. He is a secondary school teacher from Hemel Hempstead. He is also an Apterite. He will return later in the series to play a quarter-final match.
Burley has partaken in both Scrabble tournaments – including an English-language tournament held in Germany – and Co-events; prior to his television debut, he participated in CoStAl and CO:BO 2018.
Burley began his Countdown journey in the second show of Series 83, where he unseated Paul Gaskell after solving a crucial conundrum in under 2 seconds. Burley then improved on his debut score of 84 the following day with a personal best of 127, before achieving six more wins which comprised of four more centuries and two scores in the 90s. En route to being crowned the first octochamp and 800 club member of 2021, he solved every conundrum but one and garnered a total of 819 points. He will enter the series finals as the number 2 seed, playing against number 7 seed Tom Vincent.
Burley is the first octochamp in Countdown history whose run has presided over four dictionary corner guests. He is also the second octochamp after Jack Worsley whose run has presided over a change of presenter, with Nick Hewer hosting his first six heat games and Colin Murray hosting his last two.
