Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the April 14, 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:

Andrew Fisher, a Ph.D. student from Sheffield

Andrew Fisher on Jeopardy!

Wendy Hurp, a retired science publisher from Oxfordshire

Wendy Hurp on Jeopardy!

Ben Jones, a hotel receptionist from Caerphilly (3-day total: £15,550)

Ben Jones on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

Ben Jones enters a new week of UK Jeopardy! as a 3-day champion, winnings £15,550, becoming the sixth player in the UK revival to win at least three. (Dan Afshar, Michael Hutchinson, Keshava Guha, Abby Hallett, and Emma Laslett are the other five. Imagine not remembering players from Series 1—I scoff at the thought that people would forget about players.) Today, he hopes to win a fourth game against Oxfordshire’s Wendy Hurp and Sheffield’s Andrew Fisher. For those who are deep in the weeds of multiple mind sports—this is the Andrew Fisher who is really strong at quizzing, not the Andrew Fisher who is really strong at Scrabble. That being said, I am hoping to see a hotly-contested episode today filled with strong players.
