Jeopardy! U.K. discussion thread for Mon., Mar. 17 (series two premiere)

The big change for this series is there are now seven categories on each of the first three boards, or 15 additional clues per game. As a result, the pace is considerably faster than last year, and host Stephen Fry doesn't have to talk as much to fill the hour running time. I think most fans of the U.S. version will be very pleased with this updated approach.

A few cosmetic changes as well: there's a slight "whoohsing" sound as the clues pop out to fill the screen; some very quiet background music as the DDs are read; and every time someone rings in, a chime identical to the one heard when the FJ clue is revealed is sounded.

Today's FJ: HISTORY OF FAMOUS BRANDS - Representing when a 9000 year lease was signed, this year appears on the official logo, labels and pint glasses of Guinness draught

Only Adam was correct on FJ, adding 426 to win with 2,351 pounds and will return tomorrow as champion.

Correct Q: What is 1759?
