Richard Brittain was the overall champion of Series 55. He accumulated 820 points in his Octochamp run, but went into the finals as second seed to Steven Briers (840 points). Steven Briers however then narrowly lost his quarter-final against eighth seed Phil Watson, a match which Brittain, watching from the audience, called 'an enthralling spectacle'. Brittain then comfortably won his quarter-final against Andrew Blades, but only narrowly beat Stu Horsey in the semi-finals before he trounced an off-form Tony Warren in the final, 103-60.
Richard Brittain also appeared on the now-defunct gameshow Brainteaser in January 2007, less than a month after winning Countdown. He won the show and pocketed £1500. Some people believe Brittain is a fan of Gandhi, while he also possesses a 'Sieg' mentality.
Brittain's other interests include making wild accusations of criminal activity against members of the C4Countdown forum. Since he is untroubled by concepts such as "motive" and "making sense", and believes that evidence is a crutch invented by atheists, these accusations are simple to concoct and impossible to dispute. Sadly, he is too cowardly and dishonest to commit these accusations to any form of permanent record.
