Harry Savage was a contestant in Series 88, and was a final-year Biology student at Hertford College Oxford, from Southampton at the time of his appearances. He is also an Apterite. Outside of Countdown, he is a competitive Rubik's Cube solver; he has competed at the UK and World Championships in different categories and holds/has held Guinness World Records in the sport as well.
Appearances
Savage first appeared on 2 August 2023, notably being asked by the host Colin Murray to solve a Rubik's Cube in the opening and managed to do so in 10.5 seconds. He later won with 122 points, the highest score of the series so far, to Hywel Jones's 59 points.
ZoomDown
Prior to his TV debut, Savage was a contestant on the second series of ZoomDown. He won his first three games, which included a max game against Tracey Mills in his third heat but fell short of tetra-champdom thanks to current Countdown producer Damian Eadie. Regardless, he still qualified for the end-of-series finals, winning his first game against Noel McIlvenny but losing his semi-final to eventual series champ Rob Foster, who himself scored a max game.
His performances also saw him invited back for the ZoomDown Championship of Champions where his preliminary game saw him defeat Graeme Cole by just 1 point, before once again facing Rob Foster in the quarter-finals. Again, he, unfortunately, lost on a crucial conundrum which Foster solved, eliminating him from the competition.
