It’s funny watching Brits forget to phrase answers as questions. For some reason, this is allowed in the first two rounds, but not in the Double Jeopardy round.

I watched two episodes...does the US version not get syndicated in the UK?
Because Fry is very, very loose with the rules to the point where I get the impression that he understands that the contestants dont know them, as if they've never seen the show before which, to me, is very odd as a very popular game show.
I think it just needs to find its feet in the UK and I think it will in time, I dont know that I'll ever be a fan because the UK/EU centric clues...but I think once they get used to it it'll do well.
I still say, as much as I like Fry...get Clarkson in as a guest host. Thats one thing Jeopardy has never tried...get a host who is a genuine ass.
