Now, whilst every American knows what Jeopardy is, I should point out that we Brits did have it for a year (and then the ITV nework lost interest). Basically, you have five answers worth between 100 and 500 points in the first round and 200 and 1000 points in the second round between six catergories with two double wagers and a final wager, but the twist is you have to answer with a question. So for instance, if the answer was:

"This constituency only had the narrowest majority in 1997, until the High Court said NO"

and you replied "Winchester", you'd be wrong as you should have said "What is Winchester?"

So any Americans as well as Brits game?

I could try it out, but I'd be awful on constituency names questions.

So that's Lt. Governor Sir Brutus Hashemite on board, all we need are two more contestants and we can start. Here's a teaser for you:

"In the catergory of "Whoops, that was a bit wrong", the answer is "This constituency was declared as a HOLD when it was in fact a GAIN in 1970 and was not the only one in this London Borough""

Couldn't this wait until after the other one that also has U.K. questions?

That quiz has only had 1 question about British PM's compared to four rounds of five questions about America.
