Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the January 5, 2024 game of Jeopardy! UK, especially for those of you watching delayed or on-demand. This page will be updated during each commercial break as the show airs.
Today’s contestants:
Kai Laddiman, a software developer from Camberwell, London
Natasha Skeen, a librarian from Leicester
Keshava Guha, a writer from London (1-day total: £8,000)
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
London writer Keshava Guha is our new Jeopardy champion, having picked up a stunning £8,000 in his opening game, after an absolute barn-burner of a battle between him and defending champion Miles Searle (who nearly crossed over the £7,500 mark himself in a losing effort). A score of £8,000 in the UK would be equivalent to a score of 45,000 in the United States (and Keshava’s first-day Coryat score of £4,125 is equivalent to a Coryat of 23,200 Stateside). My conclusion here is that Keshava is very good. Today’s challengers—Camberwell’s Kai Ladderman and Leicester’s Natasha Skeen—have their collective work cut out for them if they want to dethrone Keshava as champion!
(Ex post facto publisher’s note: The following was inspired by the announcement of contestant locations at the end of yesterday’s programme.) One thing about this version that I’m still getting used to: how British television announces place names. To me, as a North American, I am very familiar with Leicester, but I legitimately had to look up where Camberwell is (it’s in London). I actually brought this up to a friend of mine, and I was told outright that this was north/south classism at play by British television: viewers are automatically expected to know where every single neighbourhood in London is, but anything in the North gets further expanded automatically. To me, this is stupid, and if it’s historical convention, it’s a convention that needs to change forthwith. “Just because it’s how we’ve always done things” is stupid reasoning in 2024. I should point out at this point that Jeopardy! in the United States says “New York City, New York”, “Chicago, Illinois”, and “Los Angeles, California”, even though viewers would probably be expected to know where all three of these places are. I would recommend wholeheartedly that, regardless of what British television tradition is, Jeopardy! in the United Kingdom follows the same lead as what happens Stateside.
Another reminder that I have started a Sunday mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! UK today? Here’s the Friday, January 5, 2024 Jeopardy! UK by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round #1:
(Categories: Household Chemistry; Farm Friends; Band Line Ups; Airports Named After People; O Captain! My Captain!; Starter For Ten)
Much like yesterday, the defending champion had the run of play early, picking up 9 of the first 10 clues! It was Natasha, though, who got to the first Daily Double, though she wagered a meek £50. The back half of the round saw Keshava extend his lead, picking up five-eighths of the dollar value on the board overall!
Statistics after Jeopardy Round #1:
Keshava 17 correct 0 incorrect
Natasha 9 correct 1 incorrect
Kai 4 correct 1 incorrect
Scores after Jeopardy! Round #1:
Keshava £1,500
Natasha £450
Kai £150
Interviews:
Kai has a degree in maths and computer science and was a Countdown octochamp at the age of 11.
Natasha works in a hospital library.
Keshava has a degree from Harvard in history and politics.
Jeopardy! Round #2:
(Categories: Word Salad; Films Of The 2020s; It Happened In November; Autobiographies & Memoirs; Yellow Things; Anagrams Of Ancient Greeks)
The Countdown octochamp did very well in the anagram category; Keshava got a very difficult Daily Double for him to come back to Natasha and Kai a little bit. Things could get very interesting in Double Jeopardy!
Statistics after Jeopardy Round #2:
Keshava 30 correct 3 incorrect
Natasha 13 correct 2 incorrect
Kai 13 correct 2 incorrect
Scores after Jeopardy! Round #2:
Keshava £1,500
Natasha £725
Kai £700
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Musical Adaptations; In The British Museum; Flying The Flag; Down The Pub; Spaced Out; It Comes Next Alphabetically)
Natasha got to both Daily Doubles in the opening segment of this round, losing a combined £600 on the pair of them. Going into the final 15 clues, we wondered if Keshava would keep a runaway going into Final! His performance over the last three categories did give him that runaway!
Statistics after 75 clues:
Keshava 36 correct 3 incorrect
Natasha 18 correct 4 incorrect
Kai 14 correct 2 incorrect
Scores after 75 clues:
Keshava £2,300
Natasha £875
Kai £800
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Keshava 43 correct 4 incorrect
Kai 17 correct 4 incorrect
Natasha 19 correct 5 incorrect
Scores going into Final:
Keshava £3,350
Kai £1,100
Natasha £625
Final Jeopardy correct response: What is subduction?
Nobody got Final today; Keshava is a 2-day champion, total £10,700!
Tonight’s results:
Natasha £625 – £600 = £25 (What is subsidence?)
Kai £1,100 – £151 = £949 (What is tectonic shift?)
Keshava £3,350 – £650 = £2,700 (What is subdu) (2-day total: £10,700)
Daily Double locations:
1) HOUSEHOLD CHEMISTRY £150 (clue #15)
Natasha 100 +50 (Keshava 925 Kai 50)
2) IT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER £150 (clue #24)
Keshava 1975 -750 (Natasha 700 Kai 675)
3) FLYING THE FLAG £300 (clue #9)
Natasha 1275 -400 (Keshava 1950 Kai 800)
4) MUSICAL ADAPTATIONS £300 (clue #13, £2550 left on board)
Natasha 1075 -200 (Keshava 2150 Kai 800)
Overall Daily Double Efficiency for this game: -68

Andy’s Thoughts:
- It’s going to be more interesting in Final Jeopardy if they keep asking “you know it or you don’t” clues like this Final; there was absolutely no “tease-out metric” like I’m used to seeing in an American Final Jeopardy clue. In fact, clues like this don’t really give me much of a jumping-off point to do a “deep dive” at all.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Keshava £3,350 Kai £1,100 Natasha £625)
Keshava: Limit your bet to £1,149 or less and take the win! (Actual bet: £650)
Natasha: Bet at least £325. (Actual bet: £600)
Kai: Standard cover bet over Natasha is £151. (Actual bet: £151)
