Richard Heald was an octochamp in Series 53. Richard opened his account with a convincing victory over Amy McMaster on 2nd June 2005, completing his run with 4 centuries. Despite scoring 795 points in total, this was only good enough to be #4 seed in the series finals. A nailbiter of a quarter final saw Richard and Ross Allatt level on 90 points apiece going into the conundrum, which Richard unscrambled on 16 seconds to take a hard-earned semifinal place. Here he faced #1 seed John Brackstone in a match that again went to a crucial conundrum. This time Richard lost out after John took 10 seconds to unscramble RIPEROOTS.

Richard may have been the reserve contestant for Championship of Champions XII as a nameplate with his name on was seen on the monitor next to the tile-shuffling table to the side of the audience, but this is unconfirmed.
