Ian Talbot was a contestant in Series 69.
Notably, in his only game, the conundrum scramble was his own name. The production team has stated, however, that this scramble would not have been used had the conundrum been crucial, as they believed that a person would be likely to have previously memorised a word that formed an anagram of his or her name, thus giving him or her an unfair advantage.[1]
