Julian Fell is a winning contestant from the British game show ''
Countdown'' and is widely considered to be among the greatest Countdowners of all time. He was the 48th champion of the show. He scored 924 points in the heats, beating the previous record held by
Chris Wills, and was the first player to score 100 points or more in all eight heat games.
During his eighth game, he broke numerous all-time Countdown records. He scored 138 points with three nine-letter words, both of which had never been done before. He then broke both of these records just two shows later with four nine-letter words and 146 points, a record which remained until 2019. He gained a lot of attention for this in the UK press.
