05:46You've done it this time.
05:48As you know, this particular clue now goes only to you after you have chosen something from your score to wager.

12:22We're going to take a quick break.
12:23We'll be back in a few moments and we'll see you then.
12:25APPLAUSE
12:39Welcome back to Jeopardy Australia.
12:41Now's the time, I think, to get to know our contestants a little better.
12:45We'll start with you, Alex Robson from North Plimpton in the gorgeous city of Adelaide.
12:50Now, you've had two excellent jobs.
12:52Flight attendant and nurse.
12:54Currently a nurse.
12:55Is that right?
12:56I'm currently a flight attendant.
12:57Oh, you're currently a flight attendant.
12:58Bit of nursing on the side.
12:59Yeah.
13:00And there's a sort of nurse-y element to being a flight attendant.
13:02In some ways.
13:03You walk from person to person and check they're OK.
13:06It's a caring job.
13:07Now, I'm very interested by this three-month voyage you took in 1992.
13:11Tell us all about it.
13:12It was the celebration of Columbus' quincentenary.
13:15Yeah.
13:16Where there was many ships from all over the world competing in a race from Europe to America.
13:22And I was selected to do one of the legs of that race.
13:25Were you an experienced sailor?
13:26I was not an experienced sailor.
13:28I'd never been on a ship, really.
13:30Any adventures?
13:31Yes.
13:32We sailed from New York through the Panama Canal and then back up to Mexico.
13:36And during the time from Bermuda down to Jamaica,
13:39we went through an area that was forming Hurricane Andrew.
13:43Oh, no!
13:44My parents didn't know, I don't think, at the time.
13:47But it was quite terrifying.
13:49How extraordinary.
13:50What an adventure.
13:51It was amazing.
13:52Fantastic.
13:53Lovely to have you here.
13:54Eric.
13:55Eric Shee from Sydney, from Hurstville.
13:58A lawyer.
13:59That's right.
14:00What sort of law do you practice?
14:01I do commercial law, litigation and arbitration.
14:04I love the fact that you played chess at university and you won a year's supply.
14:08Of kombucha, actually.
14:10That was just before lockdown, so it was very well timed.
14:13You had the healthiest microbiome of everyone in Sydney, I should imagine.
14:18Exactly.
14:19And I was trying to offload it to all my friends who then saw me as the sort of kombucha friend.
14:23Anyway, it's lovely to have you here as well.
14:26And, of course, Christine, our wonderful Christine, our champion.
14:30I'm quite interested in Inala.
14:32Ah, so I grew up there and I've been living there recently.
14:36The thing about Inala is it was built for return servicemen after the Second World War.
14:41Oh, right.
14:42And my parents were both migrants.
14:44So they migrated to Australia through my dad being, getting what's called a ten pound pom.
14:49He wasn't a pom, but he got a ten pound assisted passage.
14:51Oh, right.
14:52And the most wonderful fact about the time when I was a child in Inala is one of the best rock bands that ever came out of Brisbane is The Saints.
15:01They produced their famous punk song, Stranded.
15:03And if you see the video for Stranded, you can see the suburb where I grew up.
15:08It's not like that now.
15:09All the trees have grown in.
15:11Amazing.
15:12But if anyone wants to know what Inala looks like, you have to go on YouTube and look up Stranded by The Saints.
15:18There you go.
15:19And growing up in Nala made a disaffected youth turn into a punk.
15:22That's quite something.
15:23Anyway, it's lovely to have you, Christine.
15:26Punk or no punk.
15:27Let's get back on with the game.
15:31Right.

38:00Well done.

38:03Equal with Christine.
38:04And you have pick of the board.
38:05World Politics Tour for 200.
38:07All right, finally we get to politics.
38:11Abbreviations won't be accepted here as answers.

38:36became the youngest woman elected to the US Congress.
38:41Yes, Christine.
38:42Who is OAC?
38:44I'm saying I won't accept abbreviations here.
38:46I beg your pardon, sorry.
38:47It's not OAC, anyway.
38:49So it's open to the others.
38:51Yes, Eric.
38:52It's Alexandria Ocasio-Smith.
38:54No, not Smith.
38:57No.
38:58It's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
39:01Yeah.
39:02Well, at least you each took a bite out of each other, so it hasn't changed much.
39:05All right, Eric, with you.
39:07World Politics for 300, please.
39:09All right.

39:29Still with you, Eric.
39:30Politics for 100.
39:32For 100 now.
39:33Although on different sides of the political spectrum, Canada's Justin Trudeau and Australia's Tony Abbott have both led parties with this name.

39:48Well, well.
39:49You've got the dollar daily doubles double.
39:53So, you're on 3,900.
39:57The category is the World Politics Tour.
40:00How much do you think this time?
40:022.99, please.
40:032.99.
40:04I love the specificity.
40:07All right.
40:08For 299 bucks.
40:11For 18 years, Angela Merkel was the chair of this centre-right German political party.
40:22Well, it's the Labour Party.
40:23No, I'm afraid not.
40:25The centre-right party there is called the Christian Democratic Union.
40:29The Christian Democrats, they're sometimes called.
40:32Hard luck.
40:33You've lost 299 and that is the end of that board.
40:37And your very clever choice of gambling money has left an interesting result.
40:43Because, Alex, you're on 1,550.
40:46Christine on 3,600.
40:48And Eric on 3,601.
40:51So, there you go.
40:52It's time to play Final Jeopardy.
40:55Let's see what category we have for you.
40:58It's...
40:59Film titles.
41:01All right.
41:02In a moment, I'm going to reveal one final clue.
41:04But now it's time to decide how much you're prepared to wager after seeing that category,
41:09while we go off and take a short break.
41:11See you in a moment.
41:12APPLAUSE
41:13Welcome back to Jeopardy! Australia.
41:28Everybody has made their wager.
41:31The category, as we know, is film titles.
41:34Here is your clue.
41:36Of the 25 official Eon-produced James Bond films, this many have four-word titles.
41:46You have 30 seconds to write your response.
41:48Good luck.
41:49Good luck.
41:50MUSIC PLAYS
41:52MUSIC PLAYS
41:54Phew!
42:21Well, to my mind, that's quite a tough question
42:24with only 30 seconds to run through the titles you know.
42:28But let's have a look.
42:29We'll start with you, Alex.
42:30You're on $1,550.
42:33What did you write down as your response
42:35to how many Bond films have four-word titles?
42:39It was a guess.
42:39My husband would have known.
42:41What is 16?
42:42It's not 16, I'm afraid.
42:45I would that it were, but it isn't.
42:47So there's nothing I can say
42:48other than whatever you've decided to gamble.
42:51I'm afraid you've lost.
42:52How much did you decide to gamble?
42:53$750.
42:54We take that away from $1,550.
42:56That leaves you on $800.
42:58All right.
42:59Christine, you're on $3,600.
43:03So let's see what you wrote as your response
43:07to how many Bond films have four words in the title.
43:10You wrote what is none.
43:12I'm afraid that isn't correct either.
43:14There are some.
43:15We've yet to decide or discover how many,
43:19but what did you wager?
43:22Oh, everything.
43:23The farm.
43:24So that wipes you out.
43:25You're on naught.
43:26So we know you're not the champion today
43:27because 800 is leading now.
43:29You didn't expect that, did you, Alex?
43:31I didn't.
43:32Well, well, well.
43:33It's all down to Eric now.
43:34On 3,601, how many Bond films did you think
43:38have four words in the title?
43:40What is two?
43:41I'm afraid that isn't correct either.
43:45No, there are, in fact, five.
43:47And they are no time to die.
43:49For your eyes only.
43:51Live and let die.
43:52You only live twice.
43:54From Russia with love.
43:55I expect you hate Bond.
43:57You probably did from the beginning,
43:58but you certainly do now.
44:00It means, depending on how much you bet,
44:03that we can declare someone a winner.
44:05How much did you wager?
44:073,600, that puts you on one dollar.
44:11Alex, you're our champion!
44:14Amazing.
44:15Oh, congratulations.
44:17I've never seen anyone quite so surprised.
44:19I am very surprised.
44:21These guys were way better than me.
44:22Well, anyway, sorry to see you go, Eric.
44:25It was lovely having you here.
44:27Christine, you were a marvellous champion.
44:29Marvellous two-time champion.
44:30You go away with 22,000, yes, and something.
44:33So, not a bad two days' work, or three days' work.
44:37It's been lovely.
44:38And we're sorry to see you both go, Eric and Christine.
44:41But we'll see you next time, Alex.
44:43And I hope we'll see you next time, too.
44:46Thanks so much for watching Jeopardy! Australia.
44:48Goodbye.
44:48Next time on Jeopardy!
44:53Champion Alex Robson faces Melbourne's James Ollie.
44:56And from Kalara in Sydney, Louisa Saddington.
45:00We'll see you next time.
45:30We'll see you next time.
