Thomas "Tom" Cappleman in Series 72.

Thomas "Tom" Cappleman was a contestant in Series 59 and the series champion of Series 72, and is a participant in Championship of Champions XIV.

His mother, Catriona, was a finalist in Series 30.

In 2011, he made his CO-event debut at Co:Lon 2011, where he finished in an impressive 2nd place, losing out to Matt Bayfield in the final.

The following year, he appeared at CO:REA and CobliviLon. That same year, he represented New College, Oxford on University Challenge.

Cappleman returned to the studios in January 2016 as one of sixteen entrants in Championship of Champions XIV. Playing in the first preliminary match of the tournament, he defeated Series 69 semi-finalist Glen Webb. With both players spotting all three of the game's available nine-letter words, this game proved to yield a joint score of 248 - the highest thus far achieved in the "new" 15-round format.
