Paul Nixon was a contestant in Series 34 and an octochamp in Series 81. As of his 2nd appearance, he was an Actuary from Surbiton in Surrey. His father, David Nixon, also appeared in both those series.
Nixon first appeared on February 7 1997 and won his first game against Paul Peters by 60-32 points. He then won his second game and took his first defeat in his third game against Roger Hayward in a 31-29 point game. Nixon returned to the programme 22 years later and started his run against Pauline Creer with a strong 107 points to Creer's 45 points. He then followed with several sensational performances, scoring a total of 6 centuries. In his 5th heat game in 2019 he scored the highest score of the series, 136 points. He ultimately wrapped up his run with 893 points to become an octochamp, and will return for the series finals in December 2019, currently ranked as number 2 seed.
