Ian Bayley

Ian Bayley

Ian Bayley is a leading UK quiz player, despite his youth when compared with other leading players (he is in his early thirties). He was British Quiz Champion in 2001 and despite never having played on a series-winning team, is widely considered to be one of the best players to have appeared on University Challenge. He made a widely acclaimed appearance on Who Wants to be a Millionaire as a "phone a friend". In addition, he has represented the University of Oxford in the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament run by NAQT, one of the world's foremost buzzer competitions. His scores compared respectably alongside some of the leading American buzzer quiz players.

He is also the 2005 European Pairs Quiz Champion alongside Pat Gibson and was part of the England side that won the 2004 European Quiz Championships.

Ian Bayley attended Merchant Taylors' School, Crosby in Liverpool. He studied computing at Imperial College London and then the University of Oxford. He is currently a lecturer in computer science at Oxford Brookes University.
