Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the April 7, 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:

Oli Hein, a voiceover artist from Gloucestershire

Oli Hein on Jeopardy!

Jan Scocroft, a retired languages teacher from Somerset

Jan Scocroft on Jeopardy!

Dan Afshar, an events manager from Kingston upon Thames (5-day total: £16,400)

Dan Afshar on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

After yielding the time slot for a couple of days for ITV’s racing coverage, Jeopardy in the UK returns with 5-day champion Dan Afshar doing battle against Gloucestershire’s Oli Hein and Somerset’s Jan Scocroft.

Dan’s advantage has been that he’s got the timing of the signalling device figured out; he’s been in first on nearly 50% of all clues. One thing, though, is that he’s averaged nearly 9 unforced errors (an incorrect response after ringing in, as opposed to a forced error being an incorrect response on a Daily Double or Final Jeopardy) per game thus far; a high number even taking into account that a British episode now has 106 clues instead of the American 61.

Dan found DD3 nine clues in, taking needed ammunition off the board for his opponents. The TikTok category going for 5 stand-and-stare Triple Stumpers also took needed money off the board. Oli found the last Daily Double just before the commercial, but bet just £300 as Dan still had a big lead. The matter of if the game will be a runaway, though, was in the balance as the show took its last commercial break. The scores with 15 clues to play was Dan £3,400 Oli £1,775 Jan £725. Coming out of the break, Dan did well enough to cement a runaway win.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Dan 44 correct 4 incorrect
Oli 21 correct 3 incorrect
Jan 15 correct 2 incorrect

Scores going into Final:

Dan £4,000
Oli £1,875

Tonight’s results:

Jan £1,375 – £875 = £500 (What is White Christmas)
Oli £1,875 – £200 = £1,675 (What is White Christmas?)

Andy’s Thoughts:

  • I don’t care what the “official” recipe says. I’m not going to stop adding garlic to my bolognese sauce recipe.
  • “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was from 1945’s Carousel and was a #1 song for Gerry and the Pacemakers (1963), The Crowd (1985), Robson and Jerome (1996) and Michael Ball and Captain Tom Moore (2020).

  • No wagering suggestions are provided due to today’s game being a runaway.
