Lawrence Pearse.

Lawrence Pearse was a contestant in series 17, first making his debut on 22 February 1989 near the end of the series, where he beat Jim Saywell 53-34. Lawrence won a further seven games to become an octochamp and #2 seed for the series behind the hotly-favoured Tim Morrissey. In the final rounds, Lawrence beat Jean Tweddell and Vicki McCarthy on the way to the final against Evan Simpson. The final was a back-and-forth affair, with Evan leading by 19 points after the first conundrum, but Lawrence managed to stage a comeback, and with Evan not scoring due to a series of messed-up numbers games and disallowed words, it was done and dusted by the conundrum- Lawrence ran out the 80-64 winner and champion of series 17. Lawrence returned for Championship of Champions V, beating Michael Wareham in the first round before losing to Gino Corr in the semi-final, a game that is most remembered for the oft-repeated out-take where both contestants declared the word WANKERS [1]. Lawrence returned one final time for the supreme championship in 1996, but was beaten by Jackie McLeod 47-45 in his first game.
