Jackie McLeod
Jackie McLeod was the runner-up of Series 21.
She was a Local Government Secretary from Highgate, North London. She won 3 games in the heats before losing to Malcolm Mackinnon. This was enough to see her return for the final rounds as #8 seed, and she beat Lew Schwarz and Nick Saloman on her way to the final against Barry Grossman. However, McLeod lost the final 99 – 67, Grossman's quicker conundrum finger being the major difference between the two.
McLeod returned for Championship of Champions VI, but was beaten in the first round by Chris Waddington.
McLeod also played in the Supreme Championship, beating series champions Lawrence Pearse and Clive Spate in the first and second rounds respectively, before losing to Joyce Cansfield in the group finals.
McLeod is an avid Scrabble player, and has been awarded the title of expert by the ABSP.
After appearing on the show, she appeared on the short-lived Channel 4 show, Beat the Nation in 2004.
