Andy Platt was an octochamp in Series 68. He is also an Apterite and member of c4countdown.
His octochamp run came when Countdown altered the 15 round format, so his first 4 shows were in the "original" 15 round format, while his second 4 shows were in the "new" 15 round format.
He is the seventh person to have scored a century or more in all of his eight heat games. Furthermore, his aggregate winning margin against his 8 preliminary opponents is the highest in Countdown history, standing at 565 - an average of marginally over 70 points difference per game. Similarly, the combined score of his opponents in the 8 preliminary games is the lowest in Countdown history, which is 324.
He made his CO-event debut at CoChest finishing in 3rd place, which he then followed up with another 3rd place at COLIN 2012, then he won Group B at CoLei5. He subsequently attended COHUD, winning Group C, CobliviLon, COEDI and COLIN 2013, the latter of which resulting in a tie for 4th place with Matt Bayfield.
He has often been called "Formidable" by presenter Nick Hewer, in a similar way to how potential series rival Giles Hutchings is sometimes called "The Typhoon".
