Steven, the Apterous player in 2009

Steven Tew was a contestant in Series 6. Although it was not mentioned on the show, was originally from Maesteg in South Wales. Having moved to Wakefield, he became a standby contestant for a while, due to his close proximaty to Leeds. He eventually appeared in 1985, when he was 25. After winning one game, he was unfortunate enough to lose his second by just one point on the crucial conundrum "bishopric".

He's notable for being by far the earliest countdown contestant to currently play on the Apterous website. There is almost a 10 year gap between Steven and any other contestant who plays on Apterous.
