Richard.
Copy !req
211. We'll see you after the break.
Copy !req
212. Welcome back to Jeopardy!
Copy !req
213. Now, you three, let's have a chat
and find out more about you.
Copy !req
214. Richard, you're from Penarth,
a place I know reasonably well.
Copy !req
215. You must have planned for years
Copy !req
216. for the romantic wedding
that you had with your wife.
Copy !req
217. Tell us all about it.
Copy !req
218. We got married
Copy !req
219. without telling anyone, and we got
a couple of people off the street
Copy !req
220. to come and be the witnesses.
Copy !req
221. And then we went and played pool
in the pub.
Copy !req
222. Wow!
Copy !req
223. - Our mothers were not happy.
- I bet they weren't.
Copy !req
224. But... slightly more impressively,
you make cheese.
Copy !req
225. Well, yes, I'm trying.
Copy !req
226. What cheeses have you made?
Some quite dramatic ones.
Copy !req
227. Well, I've done ricotta
and mozzarella,
Copy !req
228. but that has been hit and miss,
I have to admit.
Copy !req
229. - Are there any buffalos in Penarth?
- No.
Copy !req
230. That might be the reason
it's hit and miss!
Copy !req
231. But you make these cheeses at home,
not in a warehouse?
Copy !req
232. - Oh, yeah. Just at home. Yeah.
- Wonderful.
Copy !req
233. Sabina, you're on 525.
You've done wonderfully.
Copy !req
234. I'm still impressed by
your knowing that blue
Copy !req
235. is the colour of Geography.
Copy !req
236. There we go!
Copy !req
237. You're from Milton Keynes.
You're a copywriter.
Copy !req
238. - I am, yes.
- For advertising?
Copy !req
239. For websites, usually, for different
types of businesses, and...
Copy !req
240. So, people need a description
of some service
Copy !req
241. or good that they're selling?
- Yeah. Make it sound good.
Copy !req
242. It makes me wonder
if you're worried about AI.
Copy !req
243. I probably should be.
Copy !req
244. But, you know, I'll just have to
up my copywriting game.
Copy !req
245. You have enough faith in your talent
Copy !req
246. to provide interesting
and original copy.
Copy !req
247. - Precisely.
- Excellent. Very good indeed.
Copy !req
248. You're afraid of heights, and yet,
you've climbed a famous mountain.
Copy !req
249. - I did. I climbed Snowdon.
- You didn't get dizzy or anything?
Copy !req
250. - No, it was... It was fine.
- It's quite a tough climb.
Copy !req
251. It's not inconsiderable.
Copy !req
252. No, it's... There are easier routes.
I didn't take the very easy route.
Copy !req
253. I went for sort of halfway house.
Copy !req
254. Well, congratulations.
Copy !req
255. Now, Keshava, I know you've got
a novel coming out
Copy !req
256. because you're a writer.
Copy !req
257. You love reading novels,
you love reading generally.
Copy !req
258. You've got an amazing knowledge
of literature.
Copy !req
259. But this isn't your first novel.
Tell me about your very first book.
Copy !req
260. That's right. So I had a book
that came out four years ago
Copy !req
261. and it took many years to write
as well.
Copy !req
262. And it's about a community of
adult Harry Potter obsessives.
Copy !req
263. So it's about a friendship between
an American man in his mid-50s
Copy !req
264. and an Indian man in his 20s.
Copy !req
265. And they meet through this online
Harry Potter fandom, and then forge
Copy !req
266. a very strange
but very intense connection.
Copy !req
267. And is this based on any knowledge
on your part, or did you imagine it?
Copy !req
268. Well, I think... It's all made up.
Copy !req
269. But I grew up with Harry Potter,
Copy !req
270. and I was always intrigued by adult
Harry Potter fans,
Copy !req
271. because these are people,
not just people with children,
Copy !req
272. but people without children
who discovered and fell in love
Copy !req
273. with Harry Potter as grown-ups.
Copy !req
274. And I love the idea of books
bringing people
Copy !req
275. who would never otherwise meet...
- I agree.
Copy !req
276. .. into contact.
- That's wonderful.
Copy !req
277. Anyway, let's get back on
with the game.
Copy !req
278. All right. We've got six
new categories for you.
Copy !req
279. They are...
Copy !req
280. See where we're going?
Copy !req
281. Right. Sabina, as the lowest-scorer,
Copy !req
282. you have the pick of the categories

the ropes and allow your opponent
Copy !req
298. to run out of energy really.
Copy !req
299. Sporty for 100.
Copy !req
300. For 100...

bearnaise sauce without it.

346. Yes, Keshava.
Copy !req
347. - What is tarragon?

350. Yes, Richard.

354. Spices And Herbs for 75.

Copy !req
397. Baby for 150.
Copy !req
398. Answer there is the

And let's have a look at the scores.
Copy !req
460. Sabina, you're on 675.
No cause for despair at all.
Copy !req
461. Richard, you've had a fine round.
Copy !req
462. You're on £1,200,
Copy !req
463. but still 600 behind
our current leader,
Copy !req
464. our three-time champion,
Keshava Guha.
Copy !req
465. Now, let's have a break.
Copy !req
466. And when we come back,
we'll play Double Jeopardy!
Copy !req
467. Welcome back to Jeopardy!
Copy !req
468. Now, then, Keshava, this may be,
Copy !req
469. am I right to say, more of a
challenge for you, these two?
Copy !req
470. Yes. They're both very strong.
They're both faster than me,
Copy !req
471. as well as knowing a lot of things
I don't.
Copy !req
472. Very honest of you! Mind you,
you showed your mettle, as ever,
Copy !req
473. in politics.
You did extremely well in that.
Copy !req
474. Your other Daily Double,
you didn't get Jeremy Strong.
Copy !req
475. No. I don't watch Succession.
I have watched The Big Short.
Copy !req
476. I could see his face,
but I couldn't get the name.
Copy !req
477. Now, then, Richard,
very quick on the buzzer,
Copy !req
478. I think both your opponents
would agree with that.
Copy !req
479. Sometimes too quick
and you get locked out.
Copy !req
480. - Yes.
- So just to remind the audience
Copy !req
481. if you do buzz while I'm
still reading out the clue,
Copy !req
482. then you will be locked out for...
Copy !req
483. It's not for long, but it's enough
to let the opponents in.
Copy !req
484. You did some really good quizzing
there.
Copy !req
485. I was so impressed by your
working out "belly",
Copy !req
486. because we hadn't seen
that category before.
Copy !req
487. It was understanding that the clue
would be nothing to do with dancing,
Copy !req
488. but it was the question. Belly.
Copy !req
489. And that was impressive.
I thought so.
Copy !req
490. And you saved your Welsh credentials
by getting Sir Tom Jones, of course.
Copy !req
491. Sabina, you're doing fine. 675.
Copy !req
492. Maybe you're not the best buzzer.
You probably feel you aren't.
Copy !req
493. It is very difficult, isn't it?
Copy !req
494. - Yes, it is.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
495. But you got some
really good answers.
Copy !req
496. Seb Coe and Annie Lennox,
you were good on.
Copy !req
497. You must be very annoyed
at saying Woman In White.
Copy !req
498. Yes. You know...
Copy !req
499. - That's a Wilkie Collins novel.
- It is.
Copy !req
500. If she'd have worn white, it
wouldn't have been scary, I guess.
Copy !req
501. Not really! Mind you,
ghosts can be white.
Copy !req
502. In any case, you're well in reach
of your two opponents,
Copy !req
503. especially as we're about to play
Double Jeopardy!
Copy !req
504. Right. So, we've doubled
the cash value
Copy !req
505. so they range now from 50 to £300
per answer.
Copy !req
506. There are also two Daily Doubles
hidden somewhere
Copy !req
507. up there on the board.
Copy !req
508. We have six new categories.
They are...
Copy !req
509. Now, from now on -
I'm looking at you, Richard -
Copy !req
510. if you don't frame your response
Copy !req
511. in the correct "what" or "who is",
Copy !req
512. it will be deemed incorrect.
Copy !req
513. Fair warning, I think. OK, then.
Copy !req
514. Now, Sabina, you have the
lowest score at the moment,
Copy !req
515. so if you'd like to choose
Copy !req
516. a category and a cash amount.
Copy !req
517. National Parks for 150, please.

Copy !req
718. OK. Everybody's made their wagers.
Copy !req
719. The category, as we know,
is British Politics.
Copy !req
720. Here's the clue.
Copy !req
721. You have 30 seconds. Good luck.
Copy !req
722. And with that final flourish
from our favourite tune, that's it.
Copy !req
723. Time is up.
Copy !req
724. Wow.
Copy !req
725. What is going to happen here?
Copy !req
726. Well, Sabina, we'll start with you,
on the lowest score at the moment,
Copy !req
727. which is 1,225.
Copy !req
728. What we'd better find out first
Copy !req
729. is what you wrote as your response.
Copy !req
730. You think there were five
between 2020 and 2023?
Copy !req
731. That's not correct, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
732. Let's see how much you risked
with that response.
Copy !req
733. All but £1.
Copy !req
734. Well, it was brave,
and necessary to be brave,
Copy !req
735. but it all depends on
how the others wagered
Copy !req
736. and whether they got
their responses correct.
Copy !req
737. First, we go to Keshava.
I have to say,
Copy !req
738. when I saw
British Politics come up,
Copy !req
739. I thought you might be cheering,
Copy !req
740. because you've shown yourself to be
very strong on this subject.
Copy !req
741. You've got £3,950.
Copy !req
742. What's your response?
Copy !req
743. What is three?
Copy !req
744. That is correct. Yes.
Copy !req
745. Dominic Raab, Liz Truss
and James Cleverly are the three
Copy !req
746. Foreign Secretaries we've had
between 1st January 2020 and 2023.
Copy !req
747. What matters now is to see how much
you risked on that.
Copy !req
748. What a very canny wager.
Copy !req
749. 901.
Copy !req
750. You were aware of your closest rival
Copy !req
751. and it puts you up to
a handsome score of 4,851.
Copy !req
752. The idea being, of course, that you
might be one ahead of your opponent.
Copy !req
753. Well, Richard, now we turn to you.
Copy !req
754. You're on 4,850.
Copy !req
755. I can't tell from your expression
Copy !req
756. whether you're happy
or disappointed.
Copy !req
757. You'd make a good poker player.
Copy !req
758. So let's see what you wrote down.
Copy !req
759. Oh, very bad luck!
Copy !req
760. You also thought it was five,
and we know that isn't the case.
Copy !req
761. I wonder how much
you were prepared to risk.
Copy !req
762. Ouch!
You bet the farm.
Copy !req
763. It was a brave
and magnificent thing to do.
Copy !req
764. It takes you down to zero,
so you're on zero.
Copy !req
765. Oh, I know! Sabina's on one,
Copy !req
766. and our three-day champion
is now a four-day champion.
Copy !req
767. Today he's won 4,851.
Copy !req
768. Yesterday, he won 2,700.
Copy !req
769. And on his first appearance,
he won 8,000. That all adds up to...
Copy !req
770. £19,501.
Copy !req
771. Wow.
Copy !req
772. Terrific work, Keshava.
Copy !req
773. And your opponents are gallantly
applauding you.
Copy !req
774. - I got out of jail there!
- You got out of jail
Copy !req
775. with, well, probably
your favourite subject! Believe me,
Copy !req
776. that's nothing to do with us.
These things are chosen
Copy !req
777. completely randomly. The cards fell
very well for you this time.
Copy !req
778. But I think we can all agree
that you deserve it.
Copy !req
779. It's wonderful to have you,
Sabina and Richard.
Copy !req
780. You can return home
with your heads held high.
Copy !req
781. And I hope everybody will tune in
Copy !req
782. to watch Keshava
Copy !req
783. and two new contestants
when we play tomorrow.
Copy !req
784. Thanks for watching. Goodbye!
Copy !req
785. 'Next time on Jeopardy,
Copy !req
786. 'Champion Keshava Guha faces
Clackmannanshire's Ross Taylor,
Copy !req
787. 'and from Riddlesden, Yorkshire,
Gill Taylor.'
