Julian Hough

Julian Hough

Julian Hough was a contestant in and the runner-up of Series 7. An economics student at Manchester University, Hough won the final six heat games of the series to enter the final rounds unbeaten as #2 seed. He beat Tim Davies and Jean Fish in the quarter- and semi-finals respectively to reach the final against Ian Bebbington. The game went to a crucial conundrum with Hough trailing by just five points, but neither contestant was able to unscramble it in the time, meaning Bebbington became the series champion.

Hough also appeared in the Championship of Champions II, but was beaten by Laurie Silver in the first round. Hough would also return for the Supreme Championship, where he beat Ash Haji in the first round before losing to Damian Eadie in the second. In 1989, Hough played in the first Masters series and was declared the overall champion, having achieved the highest score of the series with 124 points.
