David Roe

David Roe was a quarter-finalist in Series 44, and a contestant in Series 90. At the time of his first set of appearances, he was a Chartered Accountant from Colne, Lancashire.

David first appeared in June 2001, in the tail-end of the show's 44th series, first winning against John Hedges, following up with four additional wins before ultimately losing to Bruno Murray in a close 49-41 contest, after failing to crack the crucial conundrum IFUSECOAT. His performance was enough to warrant a place in the quarter-finals as the #6 seed, in which he was matched up against #3 seed, Stuart Wood, but was defeated 60-36, and Wood ultimately went on to win the series.

More than two decades later, Roe returned to the show, where he faced Nigel Hutchinson, in which he achieved a comfortable 22-point victory to take home a second teapot, despite being beaten to the buzzer in the conundrum.

In 2010, he attended his first Co-event, COLIN 2010.
