Nick Wainwright, the series winner with his trophy

Series 56 ran from January 2007 to June 2007. It was won by Nick Wainwright. This Series featured 4 Octochamps but for the first time since Series 49, no Octochamps with over 800 points. #1 seed Aaron Webber snuck through the first quarter-final on an unsolved conundrum (ALONGSIDE). Jean Webby won comfortably and Nick Wainwright saw off the challenge of #6 seed Vivienne Mead. However #4 seed Amey Deshpande couldn't join the top three seeds, losing to 7-time winner Anita Freeland. In the semi-finals Freeland continued her run of upsets by beating #1 seed Aaron Webber on a crucial conundrum, and Nick Wainwright got his highest ever score in beating Jean Webby. This set up a final between #3 seed and #5 seed. No woman had won a 15-round series and no player had ever won a series whilst losing a game in the heats. From Series 46 to Series 55, all the series winners were unbeaten. The game was very close with a few mistakes which lead to a low scoring finish with Freeland leading 85-79. The conundrum OYFUSSPOT was revealed and it was Wainwright that solved PUSSYFOOT in 1.5 seconds to become Countdown's 56th champion. Freeland was relegated to the runner's-up spot, only the second woman to reach a 15-round series final after Grace Page, but she returned for the Championship of Champions XIII tournament.
