Clive Spate (born 16 January 1952) is a British game show contestant. He was the winner of the eighth series of Countdown[1] and has won many other TV quizzes, including the 2003 series Grand Slam,[2] a contest between previous quiz show champions which also featured Olav Bjortomt, Mark Labbett, Graham Nash and David Edwards, among others.
He appeared on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (Series 15, Episode 13), broadcast on 27 March 2004, where he won £125,000.
Spate is also a former tournament Scrabble player. He was the top rated UK player in 1991, 1994 and 1995.[3] He competed at the World Scrabble Championship in 1993, finishing ninth out of sixty-four. The winner that year was Countdown Champion of Champions Mark Nyman – the first UK Scrabble player to hold the World Championship title.[4]
Spate gradually retired from the game, although he made a brief comeback in 2003, when he was the runner-up at the British National Scrabble Championship.[5]
