Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the March 27, 2025 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:

Margaret Brecknell, a writer from Lancashire

Dan Afshar, an events manager from Kingston upon Thames

Abby Hallett, an alumni relations officer from Berkshire (4-day total: £12,075)

Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

Both UK and US versions of the show currently have 4-day returning champions; normalizing Abby’s winnings thus far to a 54,000-unit board like the American version has, Abby Hallett leads Josh Weikert 62,100 to 59,202. Today, over in Dear Old Blighty, Abby goes for victory #5 against Kingston upon Thames’s Dan Afshar and Lancashire’s Margaret Brecknell.

In the aftermath of yesterday’s game, I’ve learned that the consolation prize is £100 for second place—though, unlike the American version, the contestant’s travel expenses get covered on British shows, a different proposition than American regular play, where the $2,000 and $3,000 given to players for second and third are intended to cover the trip. While the £100 for second place shouldn’t affect the wagering calculus, as it is still in your best interests to play for the win even if you put your chances of victory at 1%, it appears to have done so yesterday.

Final Jeopardy category: African Geography

Final Jeopardy clue: The city of Asmara is the capital of this East African country

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Abby £2,375 Dan £2,000 Margaret £675)

Abby: Standard cover bet over Dan is £1,626. (Actual bet: £1,500)

Dan: Bet no more than £649 to keep Margaret locked out. However, if you don’t think Abby will bet to cover, then going all in is a viable strategy. (Actual bet: £2,000)

Margaret: You have to be correct to have a chance of winning. You might as well go all in to have a chance. (Actual bet: £675)
