No I don't, but like you, I'm sure I have seen him before.
Hope someone comes up with the info.

No, not the series champ., the young man currently in the champion's chair (sorry I've forgotten his name).

Odd that they've not said anything about him being on before, or about his mother.

I didn't know that you were allowed to compete more than once.
Knew I had seen him before!

I think on certain shows you are allowed to compete more than once -- Fifteen to One was one such example, and Mastermind is another one. Perhaps it was because they were struggling for competitors?

Anyway, I'm in the picture I posted.

A lot of these contestants have been on other shows.

The other night whilst flicking through the channels I caught the last 5 minutes of an early Bullseye episode and standing there throwing darts for "101 or more with 6 darts" was none other than Daphne Fowler from Eggheads

A bit of googling (to find out which of those contestants was called Jim or James) has produced a likely candidate but I'll leave it up to Jim to decide whether he wants to tell us his surname.

When these shows were being broadcast I could barely shut up about it on AB (at least in the small corners I was in at the time). Still can't, apparently :/
