John Mayhew was the winner of series 53.
He started his Countdown career by deposing Gary Buxton from the champions chair with a century, following it up with another. He spotted 2 nines in his octochamp run, SUNDERING and INTERVALS, made obvious by sitting back and looking at the clock. Returning for the finals, he beat Chris Hunt in the quarter-final in a tight game before defeating C4C forumite Jon O'Neill by just 1 point in a needle match. The final, Richard Whiteley's last ever show, was a nerve-affected affair with neither playing great. The score was dead level going into the conundrum, and neither player managed to spot SIGNATURE, before John M unscrambled FALSIFIED to become series champion.
He returned for Championship of Champions XII, but was eliminated in the first round by Paul Howe, who spotted the impressive GEOMATICS.
