Tom Bashford was a contestant in Series 93. He was from Oldham, Greater Manchester and is also an Apterite.
Appearances
Series 93 heat games
The father of two made his debut with a low-scoring victory against Andy Watts, but then achieved three further victories plus two centuries. Unfortunately in his fifth game, he ran into returning contestant and fellow Apterite Patrick Thompson who dethroned Bashford thanks to a fourteen-max game although Tom did have the lead in Round 4.
In a long and strong series, Bashford's four wins and 463 points were eventually enough to qualify for the series finals as the eighth seed where coincidentally he will play a rematch against Patrick who qualified as the No. 1 seed.
