Series 61 ran from 22 June to 18 December 2009. The second of six series presented by Jeff Stelling, was won by Chris Davies.

Between 27 July and 21 August, the show took a Summer break.

This was also the first of seven regular series recorded at Granada Studios in Manchester, before moving to Dock10 Studios midway through the 30th Birthday Championship.

Seed table

Rank	Name	Wins	Points
1	Andrew Hulme	8	930
2	Chris Davies	8	892
3	Innis Carson	8	861
4	Ryan Taylor	8	792
5	Brian Selway	8	746
6	Jeffrey Burgin	8	695**
7	Steve Wood	8	675
8	Jacqueline Baker	5	510

NOTE: Due to the wrongful disallowance of Burgin's conundrum answer of BEREAVING in his eighth game, his total should have been 705 points. Since Series 60, players are sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums are not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points are sorted by the number of conundrums correctly guessed, then highest single-game score.

Series finals

Quarter-finals

The first quarter-final saw Andrew Hulme (with the then-record octotal of 930 points) beat Jacqueline Baker: Hulme beat Baker with words like AMOUNTED and DISASTER as well as on the last two numbers games, although neither player could solve the conundrum of MILKGRAIN into GRIMALKIN.

In the second quarter-final, Chris Davies prevailed over Steve Wood with 108 – 61 by declaring two nine-letter words of RANDOMISE and POLARISED. Again, neither player got the conundrum with it being solved by Kirk Bevins in the audience.

Innis Carson beat Jeffrey Burgin with 111 – 70 in the third quarter-final, when Burgin had three words disallowed and Carson solved the conundrum of TOOTHPAST.

Completing the winners was Ryan Taylor who defeated Brian Selway in the fourth quarter-final, as Selway correctly unscrambled the conundrum of DUOASHORE to ROADHOUSE.

Semi-finals

In the first semi-final, both Taylor and Hulme started strong with PUDENDA and UPENDED respectively. However, Hulme took the lead after Taylor had umbone ☓ called off. Taylor was able to match but never beat his opponent on the letters rounds and Hulme scored in every letters game apart from the last one, when both players declared the invalid offering of gloops ☓. In the final numbers game, Hulme offered an impressive seven-point solution to a very difficult numbers game that featured six small numbers with a target of 942. The conundrum scramble of SEMIHUNTT was solved by Dinos Sfyris in the audience.

The second semi-final featured a closer matchup between Davies and Carson. Carson first took the lead in Round 3 with INTENSE. After this point, the players tied each other on every letters and numbers game right up to the final letters round. Carson declared SOLENOID, while Davies only managed a seven. He was leading 97 – 82 at this point, but went on to choose two large numbers in a round that only Davies was able to get on the nose. This set up a crucial conundrum of EPITUSSLE; Davies guessed SLEEPSUIT with less than five seconds to go and was found to be correct, meaning that he turned around a deficit of fifteen points and just scraped into the grand final.

Grand final

Both players made a strong start with WOOMERA. Three rounds later, Davies first took the lead with TETRODE. He extended this lead after spotting DIARISES and when Hulme's attempt of houseload ☓ was disallowed, the game was effectively over. It was a high-scoring finish with both Davies and Hulme solving all three numbers games on the nose, and Davies unscrambling the tricky conundrum of ARTLEPOOL to earn the title of series champion and become the last of the 2000s decade. Jeff Stelling quipped "First time Hartlepool have got to a final for a long time".

+==Series finals==
+===Quarter-finals===
+The first quarter-final saw [[Andrew Hulme]] (with the then-record octotal of 930 points) beat [[Jacqueline Baker]]: Hulme beat Baker with words like {{word|AMOUNTED}} and {{word|DISASTER}} as well as on the last two [[numbers game]]s, although neither player could solve the conundrum of {{word|MILKGRAIN}} into {{word|GRIMALKIN}}.
-==Episodes==
+In the second quarter-final, [[Chris Davies (Series 61)|Chris Davies]] prevailed over [[Steve Wood (Series 61)|Steve Wood]] with {{score|108|61}} by declaring two [[nine-letter word]]s of {{word|RANDOMISE}} and {{word|POLARISED}}. Again, neither player got the conundrum with it being solved by [[Kirk Bevins]] in the audience.

+===Semi-finals===
+In the first semi-final, both Taylor and Hulme started strong with {{word|PUDENDA}} and {{word|UPENDED}} respectively. However, Hulme took the lead after Taylor had {{word|umbone {{x}}}} called off. Taylor was able to match but never beat his opponent on the letters rounds and Hulme scored in every letters game apart from the last one, when both players declared the invalid offering of {{word|gloops {{x}}}}. In the final numbers game, Hulme offered an impressive seven-point solution to a very difficult numbers game that featured six small numbers with a target of 942. The conundrum scramble of {{word|SEMIHUNTT}} was solved by [[Dinos Sfyris]] in the audience.
+The second semi-final featured a closer matchup between [[Chris Davies (Series 61)|Davies]] and Carson. Carson first took the lead in Round 3 with {{word|INTENSE}}. After this point, the players tied each other on every letters and numbers game right up to the final letters round. Carson declared {{word|SOLENOID}}, while Davies only managed a seven. He was leading {{score|97|82}} at this point, but went on to choose two large numbers in a round that only Davies was able to get on the nose. This set up a crucial conundrum of {{word|EPITUSSLE}}; Davies guessed {{word|SLEEPSUIT}} with less than five seconds to go and was found to be correct, meaning that he turned around a deficit of fifteen points and just scraped into the grand final.
+===Grand final===
+Both players made a strong start with {{word|WOOMERA}}. Three rounds later, Davies first took the lead with {{word|TETRODE}}. He extended this lead after spotting {{word|DIARISES}} and when Hulme's attempt of {{word|houseload {{x}}}} was disallowed, the game was effectively over. It was a high-scoring finish with both Davies and Hulme solving all three numbers games on the nose, and Davies unscrambling the tricky conundrum of {{word|ARTLEPOOL}} to earn the title of series champion and become the last of the 2000s decade. {{w|Jeff Stelling}} quipped "First time {{w|Hartlepool United F.C.|Hartlepool}} have got to a final for a long time".
