Grand Slam
Graham returned for the Channel 4 game show Grand Slam. The show was hosted by Countdown's own Carol Vorderman and former Football Italia presenter James Richardson. The show pitted sixteen of the UK's biggest game show winners against each other in order to find the greatest quiz player in the United Kingdom.
Graham's first round match was against Laura Richardson. Laura had a slender lead going into the general knowledge round, but panicked and gave away a massive 50 seconds, giving Graham a 68 second advantage going into the final round. Laura performed badly in the last round, and Graham won by a convincing 104 seconds.
Graham faced Dee Voce in the quarter-final. Dee had a 60.5 second lead going into the deciding round, and beat Graham by a firm 75.7 seconds. The eventual winner was Series 8 Countdown Champion and Scrabble ace Clive Spate.
