Hungry Hippos
Location: Stonehenge
Judge: Peter Ustinov
Theme: Board games

What happened:

• Jovial genius Fry secured a first round lead with his chosen game of Hungry Hippopotami, thrashing Hawking 3-0.

• Broken robot Hawking came back with Tetris: securing a decisive victory against Fry whom he cruelly described as ‘all fingers and thumbs'.

• In a nail-biting final round of chess, the cerebral Steves looked destined to draw: until an eclipse of the sun breathed new life into space-mad Hawking, and with a few quick moves he took Fry’s queen. Victory for Hawkers was inevitable.

Winner: Hawking took the belt home and had it made into a hub cap.

UPDATE: It was later revealed to Ustinov (by Mrs Elaine Hawking) that Hawking had known about the eclipse all along and, aided by his in-built clock, was able to secretly remove one of Fry’s pieces in the split-second darkness caused by the moon obscuring the sun. Hawking was disqualified and the hub cap passed to Fry – which he promptly installed on his converted London cab.
