Reuters TV, Hot Under the Collar Productions. "British Duo Patrick Barrie and Ed Wynn are Crowned 24th World Pairs Tiddlywinks Champions in Cambridge". 2 minutes 26 seconds.

• The 24th World Pairs Tiddlywinks Championship were won
  by Patrick Barrie and Ed Wynn from the UK who defeated the
  USA's Matt Fayers and Larry Kahn in Cambridge, England on
  Thursday (October 24).
  
  Tiddlywinks has been a serious adult game since it was
  developed by a group of Cambridge undergraduates in the
  1950's.
  
  The game is played on a rectangular mat with six plastic
  discs, called winks, two being 22 mm in diameter, four 16 mm
  in diameter. A disc called a squidger is used to play the
  winks. The aim of the game is to secure the highest number of
  points (tiddlies).
  
  Players take it in turns to take shots at the pot, earning
  an extra go if they succeed in potting their wink. If any wink
  is covered by another, the lower wink is said to be squopped
  and cannot be played, hence players can play tactically by
  capturing and guarding their opponents winks.
  
  Pairs matches last for 25 minutes each game, after which
  each colour has a further five rounds.
  
  The World Pairs Tiddlywinks Championship was played over
  seven games at Queens' College, Cambridge.
  
  Final Score: Patrick Barrie and Ed Wynn 26 1/2 - Matt Fayers
  and Larry Kahn 22 1/2.

He is totally unimpressed with Soo's attempt at leading physical exercises, gets thrown off Scampi's modified exercise bike, then is nearly frozen alive in the home-made sauna.
• Kriss reckons it's a safe bet to agree to sponsor the club if they can find one sport they are good at. They decide that tiddlywinks is the only one. Kriss turns out to be a tiddlywink expert too, and sponsors the 'Kriss Akabusi Tiddlywink Club'

• The Viceroy of India's daughter liked playing tiddlywinks, also known as "flipperty flop" or "jumpkins". Emily Lytton, daughter of Lord Lytton, who was also the husband of the architect Lutyens who designed most of New Delhi, described an evening playing the game when she was 17 (the quote is on a card read by Ronni): "I assure you no words can picture either the intense excitement or the noise. I always scream in describing it." The game was originally called "tiddledy-winks". The little counters are called "winks" while the bigger one is called a "squidger". Normally the colours are yellow and green vs. red and blue. Other terms used in the game include "squop", "boondock" and "the Good move" which is named after one John Good. The squop is one of the most basic things in the game, in which your wink covers an opponent's wink so they cannot move it. The game has to be played on felt or baize to work.
