Not having maths or English GCSE could surely be swiftly rectified by a countdown octochamp?

Being good at countdown doesn’t mean he is good at CV writing or interviews. I highly doubt it has anything to do with GCSE’s

If he believes it’s down to not having GCSEs then that’s quite an easy fix of attending adult college classes, usually fully funded as well if you’re out of work / low income or don’t hold any qualifications. It’s not like he doesn’t have the free time?

He does get access to the most sexually voracious of groupies though

Perhaps he is neuro divergent? And Countdown is a special interest that can hold his attention in a way his GCSEs cannot.
I have worked with people like this, they have “irregular shaped” talents. Some things they will struggle with, but if you can find the right outlet for their talents they have enormous creativity and energy. You have to give them a chance.

Good article in that it instantly indicates why he can’t find a job. He has no GCSE’s.
He’d be better off getting those qualifications asap

Bullshit.

There are jobs there. At the very least bar work is easy to come across because the churn rate is so high.
The first thing he should do is make a social media profile and do some countdown themed content.
