Martin May was a contestant in Series 56 and 57 who became an octochamp in Series 79. He is a Deputy Restaurant Manager from Adlington, Lancashire, and is also an Apterite.
He won two games unbeaten in Series 56, but had to retire for personal reasons without losing a game. The producers allowed him to continue his run in Series 57 where by chance he faced seven-time winner Mikey Lear. The game was close throughout, but May avoided a crucial conundrum by spotting DUSTIER in the last letters round. May went on to win three more games before losing to Steve Baines who would by coincidence also go on to win 7 games and lose the final 8th one.
In January 2010, May attended his first unofficial Countdown tournament, COLIN 2010 where he managed an impressive 5th place.
May re-appeared on the show in Series 79. He started his run against Paul Hollidge with a strong 96 points win. He then went on to achieve four consecutive centuries during his heat run, totalling six in total. He spotted impressive nine letter findings such as NORMALISE and RESHAPING. May rounded off his Series 79 run with a total of 839 to become the number one seed of the series.
