James Burley was an octochamp in Series 83. He is a secondary school teacher from the south-east of England. He is also an Apterite.
Burley has partaken in both Scrabble tournaments – including an English-language tournament held in Germany – and Co-events. Prior to his television debut, he participated in CoStAl and CO:BO 2018.
Burley began his Countdown journey in the second show of Series 83, where he unseated Paul Gaskell after solving a crucial conundrum in under 2 seconds. Burley then improved on his debut score of 84 the following day with 127, the highest score of the series so far. Ultimately in the 9th episode of the series, he wrapped his run with a total of 819 points to become the first Octochamp of the series.
