Episode 397 was broadcast on 27 March 1986, and was the Series 8 grand final.
Clive Spate played Anthony Butcher, with Clive Spate winning 107 – 53. Clive Spate was therefore the first player in Countdown's history to score a century, as well as being the first #1 seed in the history of the show to win a series.
