Harry Savage
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 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 on the show
Savage first appeared on 2 August 2023, winning 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.
