'''Lawrence Pearse''' was a contestant in [[Series 17]]. A civil servant from Cheltenham, he first made his debut on 22 February 1989 near the end of the series, where he beat [[Jim Saywell]] {{score|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]]. [[episode 867|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 {{score|80|64}} winner and champion of series 17. His son [[Alex Pearse|Alex]] had also appeared in the same series. | '''Lawrence Pearse''' was a contestant in [[Series 17]].

Revision as of 12:30, 21 September 2010
Lawrence Pearse was a contestant in Series 17. A civil servant from Cheltenham, he first made 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. His son Alex had also appeared in the same series.
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.
