13:47Now's that time when we investigate a little further our contestants.
13:52We'll start with you, Seb.
13:53Seb Bate, you're 27, from Manchester.
13:56So, you didn't have to take a long train journey here, did you?
13:58Not at all, no.
13:59Is that your home town?
14:01No, I originally, well, I grew up in Surrey, but came here for university
14:05and, like many people, never really left.
14:08That's that kind of town, isn't it?
14:10Yes.
14:10Absolutely.
14:11And you are a medical statistician?
14:13Yes.
14:14Now, what does that involve exactly?
14:16So, I work for the NHS and we have a large clinical trials portfolio.
14:20At the moment, I work in smoking-related diseases.
14:22Oh.
14:24Hopefully improving people's lives along the way, pretty much.
14:26Good work, good work.
14:27Now, Reena, Reena Patel from Harrow.
14:30You're a primary school teacher.
14:32That's right.
14:32Would you like to look into a camera and wave at your class?
14:35Hello.
14:35What are they called?
14:36They're called 5RP.
14:395RP.
14:39They're Year 5, are they?
14:40Yes, they are.
14:41Oh, wonderful.
14:41And you enjoy teaching them?
14:43Yes, mostly I do.
14:46That's a very honest response.
14:48Usually teachers say, I adore it.
14:51But they're pretty good.
14:52So, they're age kind of ten?
14:54Nine to ten.
14:54Nine to ten.
14:55Yeah.
14:55They're usually a nice bunch.
14:57Yeah.
14:57Sure, they're lovely.
14:58And you are fluent in Gujarati and Hindi.
15:00Yes, I am actually.
15:03Gujarati more so than Hindi, but yes.
15:05And do you visit India and around?
15:07I have been about 13 times now.
15:11I love going.
15:12A fair bit of India, yes.
15:13Anyway, lovely talking to you.
15:14And to Ben now.
15:17People have been watching you over the last week or so and seeing you total up an amazing score.
15:23And they probably wonder whether this comes...
15:25We know it comes from practice and hard work, but also your university days.
15:29Tell me about those.
15:30So, my university days were weird because I almost left after the fifth year.
15:34I went up to Edinburgh to do economics.
15:36I despised it the entire time.
15:39Sorry to my teachers.
15:40The home of Adam Smith, the father of economics.
15:43Yes, absolutely.
15:43Just not for me.
15:45I found the Quir Society there.
15:47Yeah.
15:48And it basically revived my interest in learning.
15:50Otherwise, I would have just dropped out of university and I would have gone down a completely different path.
15:53And you've changed your subject from economics to...
15:55Philosophy and politics.
15:56And another subject you like, which seems far away from philosophy, but I'm a huge fan too, is darts.
16:03Yes, I love darts, yeah.
16:04Well, of course, the first world champion, Leighton Rees, was a Welshman.
16:07Nice.
16:07And there are a few around now.
16:09Yes.
16:10The Iceman.
16:10Iceman, Gerwin Price.
16:11He's pretty scary for those who don't watch darts.
16:14He's really muscle-bound.
16:16If you think all darts players are pot-bellied beer drinkers, things have changed quite a lot.
16:21I love watching the Welsh players on TV go embrace Johnny Clayton.
16:24Yes, Johnny Clayton, the ferret.
16:26The ferret.
16:26Absolutely wonderful.
16:27Anyway, let's get back on with the game, shall we?
16:33All right, so we need a second board now, don't we?

41:50Oof!
41:51Well, that was...
41:52That was just a reinforcement of your power and strength, Ben, really.
41:56Although, Seb, you came up pretty well.
41:59Um, Reena, we know this hasn't been a lucky...
42:02A lucky game for you so far.
42:04And I'm afraid the fact that you're on a minus number
42:06means you won't be able to play Final Jeopardy.
42:09You can only do that if you have a positive score.
42:12But it's been great having you,
42:13and you can have the pleasure of watching these two duke it out
42:17in Final Jeopardy.
42:19Seb, 2150 isn't a bad score.
42:22It's certainly something you can wager with.
42:24It's going to make Ben think, which is always a good thing.
42:27So, it is time to play Final Jeopardy.
42:30Let's see what categories we have for Ben and Seb.
42:3519th Century Paintings.
42:37All right, on the basis of that, could you write down your wages, please?
42:54OK, everyone's made their wages.
42:56The category is 19th Century Paintings.
42:59And here is your clue.
43:02On display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris,
43:06the 1871 painting Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1
43:11is better known by this colloquial name.
43:14You have 30 seconds to write down your response.
43:17Good luck, both of you.
43:18You have.
43:44I'm....
43:46What was the name?
43:49OK, the 30 seconds are up.
43:52Seb, in second place, I'm going to investigate you first.
43:57You've had an interesting game.
43:58I wonder what you thought the answer was to this painting,
44:02officially known as Arrangement in Grey and Black, number one.
44:05Let's see what you wrote down.
44:09What is No Idea?
44:12Wouldn't it be funny if it were called No Idea?
44:14It isn't called No Idea. I'm afraid that isn't right.
44:16How much did you wager?
44:20You didn't wager anything, so you stay on £2,150.
44:25So, obviously, the category didn't appeal to you particularly.
44:28Not painting, not your thing.
44:30Fair enough. OK, so, Ben on £6,450.
44:35What did you think the colloquial name for this painting is?
44:41What is Whistler's Mother?
44:43Hi, Mum. You've succumbed to Hi, Mum.
44:44Whistler's Mother is what the painting is known as.
44:48That is the mother of James McNeil Whistler, the artist.
44:51And, oh, my goodness, you've done it again.
44:54You're on £6,450.
44:55How much did you bet?
45:00£1,450.
45:01That puts you on £7,900.
45:04A clear winner today.
45:06APPLAUSE
45:09Oh, dear me.
45:10And when we add that to your running total, dare I imagine what it is?
45:17£59,730.
45:19Oh, my good Lord.
45:21That's £270 short of £60,000.
45:24That's really extraordinary.
45:26Well, Seb, you know you came up against a true champion.
45:29And you did really well.
45:31You've got lots to be proud of.
45:32And we say goodbye to you, but we say...
45:35Can no one rid us of this extraordinary Welshman?
45:38Thanks for watching.
45:39We hope we see you when someone gives it a go next time.
45:43Goodbye.
45:44APPLAUSE
45:44Next time on Jeopardy, champion Ben Jones faces Nuneaton's Jordan Henshaw
45:52and Manchester's Rosemary Mallis.
