Tuesday 8 October 1996 (COC8 Final)

[Johnny Canuck]

Not sure if all the details of this recap are on CDB yet. I know the round results on the Countdown Page are, but they don't have numbers solutions. If this recap doesn't belong, I can take it down; I'll start on COC8 after I finish my bookings in Series 28.

This was the final of Championship of Champions VIII, and also the only episode I know of in which the number 100 appeared as the target.

C1: Champion Kenneth Michie (9 wins, 605 points.)
