Tom Carey
From Countdown
Thomas Carey was an octochamp in Series 73.
During his octorun, he became only the 7th person in Countdown history to get all 8 of his conundrums in his heats, with a combined time of 17.75 seconds, breaking Harvey Freeman's record which had stood since 1986. This helped him accrue his total of 923 points in his 8 wins, of which he scored a century in all of them. He has also an Apterite since 2011 and is known for wearing a tea cosy on his head.
He previously took part in CoLei4, CoNot 2011, CoChest, COLIN 2012, CoLei5, COHUD and CoChest2.
His grandfather is Wilf Carey.
