01:12Vicki, welcome to the Hot Seat.
01:13Thanks for having me.
01:14So I believe you're super competitive.
01:17Oh yeah, so much so with the grandkids I don't let them win.
01:21Well you're on the right show here.
01:23Okay Vicki, you know the game.
01:25Yes I do.
01:25You are 15 questions away from a top prize of $1 million.
01:29An incorrect answer means the top prize drops a level
01:32and sadly you will go home.
01:34After five correct answers, $1,000 will be banked.
01:37You all have one lifeline, the pass.
01:40Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.
01:47Your first question is for $100 and you have 15 seconds to answer.

02:01B, standard memo scheme.
02:03C, simple mail system.
02:06D, short message service.
02:13Simple mail system.
02:17I'm not actually sure.
02:19Five seconds.
02:20I'm thinking C or B.
02:21I might pass.
02:23Use your pass.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Just in time.
02:31Salil, your pass is blocked.
02:33Unfortunately, you do have to get this question right to stay in the game.
02:37In telecommunications, what do the initials SMS stand for?
02:42Rebecca, I just don't know.
02:45But I've got this thing in my gut.
02:49Lock in D, final.
02:52Lock in D, short message service.
02:56Your gut is correct.
02:57D is right.
02:58For $100.
03:01But Salil, I hear you can do impressions.
03:04Indeed, very much.
03:05What's your go-to?
03:06Well, I've been renowned to be doing our former Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
03:11Oh, okay.
03:11Come on.
03:12You have to do this.
03:14Well, Rebecca, today I seek a mandate for a better future for all Australians.
03:21That deserves a clap.
03:25That was really great.
03:27Okay, Salil, your question for $200.
03:30You have 15 seconds.
03:33Good luck.

03:42B, Mancunian.
03:44C, Manitoban.
03:46D, Mandalorian.
03:49My friend will kill me, literally, if I get this wrong.
03:54I have to take a pass, Rebecca.
03:56Use your pass.
03:57I will.
03:58Take a seat.
03:59You're still in the game.
04:00We'll see you soon.
04:06Hi, Tara.
04:07Hello.
04:08Unfortunately, your pass is blocked.
04:10Yes.
04:11You need to answer this question correctly to stay in the game and keep that one million
04:15in play.
04:16What is the common term for a person who hails from Manchester, England?
04:20I don't know this answer, so it's a complete guess.
04:22I'm cutting out D, Mandalorian.
04:26I'm not sure about B or C, so I'm just going to have to lock in A.
04:31Lock in A, Manilan.
04:34Never heard of anyone from Manchester?
04:37No.
04:39Tara, it is B, Mancunian.
04:42That's alright.
04:43Thank you so much for playing.
04:52Laura, welcome to the hot seat.
04:54Hi, how are you?
04:55Good, how are you going?
04:56Good, thank you.
04:57So, your life's all about kids, right?
04:58It is.
04:59I was a primary school teacher and now I have four beautiful children.
05:03You have four?
05:04Yes, I do.
05:05I can guess that this is a bit of a break from that then.
05:08It definitely is.
05:09Less hectic than home.
05:11Well, I wish you the best of luck.
05:12This question is for $200.
05:14You have 15 seconds.
05:17The cover of which US monthly magazine typically features a distinctive yellow rectangular border?
05:24A, Vanity Fair.
05:26B, The Atlantic.
05:27C, Vogue.
05:29D, National Geographic.
05:31I can rule out Vogue because that's more fashion.
05:33I don't think they'd go with yellow.
05:36National Geographic's coming to mind, so Lock in Dean.
05:38Lock in Dean, National Geographic.
05:41National Geographic is correct.
05:42Oh, okay.
05:43For $200.
05:47Here's your question for $300.
05:50A lyric in the Jimi Hendrix song Purple Haze is,
05:54Excuse me while I what?
05:56A, start to cry.
05:58B, diss this guy.
06:00C, kiss the sky.
06:02D, try to fly.
06:05I can vaguely hear the song in my head, but I can hear the melody.
06:09I cannot hear the words.
06:11I think I'm going to use my pass, please, Rebecca.
06:13Use your pass.
06:15That's what it is there for.
06:16Laura, take a seat.
06:17See you shortly.
06:23Hello, Vin.
06:24Hello.
06:24There's a lot of passes early in the game.
06:26There is, isn't there?
06:28Police officer.
06:29Correct, yes.
06:30And you've competed in the international tug of war.
06:32How'd you go?
06:33I have.
06:34We, um, it was about 25 years ago now.
06:36We went to Manchester in England and competed, got a team together in Australia.
06:40And, um, we beat Italy.
06:42So, um, I was pretty happy about it.
06:43Oh, that's a plus.
06:44Put on you.
06:48Your pass is blocked.
06:50Vin, you do need to get this question correct.
06:53A lyric in the Jimi Hendrix song Purple Haze is, excuse me while I want.
06:59Um, Rebecca, lock in C, kiss the sky.
07:02Lock in C, excuse me while I kiss the sky is correct.
07:11Well, Vin, you are 11 questions away from the new top prize of a quarter of a million dollars.
07:15Okay.
07:16You will be playing for $500 and we will get to that question right after this.
07:26Welcome back.
07:27I'm here with Vin.
07:28He's about to play for $500 and we've already had three passes used already.
07:33Do you think it's tactics?
07:34Possibly.
07:35Possibly.
07:36Yes.
07:36You are 11 questions away from a quarter of a million dollars.
07:40You have 15 seconds.
07:41Good luck.
07:43The French term boulangerie means what type of shop?
07:48A, butcher.
07:49B, chemist.
07:51C, bakery.
07:52D, jeweller.
07:55I've heard of this.
07:56I can't quite picture which one it is.
07:59Um, I have a feeling it's C, bakery.
08:05So lock in C, bakery.
08:07Lock in C, bakery.
08:09Haven't been to France?
08:10No.
08:11No.
08:11Don't know your French?
08:12Don't know my French.
08:14No.
08:14That's a worry isn't it?
08:17French term boulangerie means what type of shop?
08:21It's not a chemist.
08:21It's not a jeweller.
08:23It is however a bakery.
08:25C is correct.
08:30Okay Vin, your next question is for a banked $1,000.
08:35Which chemical element has the symbol AG?
08:40A, zinc.
08:41B, silver.
08:43C, aluminium.
08:45D, arsenic.
08:47I think AG is, it comes from a Latin word for silver.
08:55So lock in B, silver.
08:57Lock in B, silver.
09:00You know your Latin then?
09:01As opposed to your French.
09:02I know, I know AG and that's it.
09:05It's just as well B is correct.
09:13Ben, nine questions from a quarter of a million dollars.
09:17This question is worth $1,500.
09:19You now have 30 seconds.
09:22Knighted by the King of Norway in 2008,
09:26Major General Sir Niels Olav III is what animal?
09:31A, tortoise.
09:32B, penguin.
09:34C, wolf.
09:36D, moose.
09:38What on earth could he be?
09:43I'm leaning towards tortoise given that they live so long
09:47and they actually become public figures almost.
09:53So I'm going to lock in A, tortoise.
09:56Lock in A, tortoise.
09:59Didn't want to use your pass?
10:01No.
10:02No?
10:03Sir Niels was in fact a penguin.
10:08It was B.
10:09Okay.
10:10Okay.
10:10Thanks for playing.
10:12Thank you for having me.
10:20Hi, Paul.
10:21Hi.
10:21How you doing?
10:22Welcome to the hot seat.
10:23You've got twin boys.
10:25I do.
10:25Twin 14 year old boys.
10:26Twin 14 year olds.
10:27Wow.
10:28I remember that age.
10:29My son was right into gaming.
10:31What are they into?
10:32The same, but it's a family thing.
10:34It's what we do.
10:35It's a family thing.
10:35Fair enough.
10:37Well, Paul, you are eight questions away from the new top prize of $100,000.
10:41This question is worth $1,500.
10:44You have 30 seconds.
10:45Best of luck.
10:48What is the common name for London's legendary taxi driver test requiring applicants to memorise
10:55320 standard routes?
10:57A, the route.
10:59B, the knowledge.
11:01C, the way.
11:02D, the information.
11:06I have absolutely no idea.
11:08My gut would probably say C or D, but I am going to pass.
11:14Use your pass.
11:15I'm going to use my pass.
11:15Fair enough.
11:16Have a seat.
11:17You're still in the game.
11:18We'll see you soon.
11:23Vicki, welcome back.
11:25How are you feeling?
11:26A bit nervous.
11:27You do need to answer this question correctly to stay in the game.
11:31What is the common name for London's legendary taxi driver test requiring applicants to memorise 320 standard routes?
11:41I've got really no idea, but the one I thought of first off.
11:47Oh, lock in A, the route.
11:50Thank you, Rebecca.
11:51Lock in A, the route.
11:55Vicki, it was B, the knowledge.
11:57Oh, Vicki.
11:59You've been a wonderful contestant.
12:00Thank you so much for playing.
12:01Thank you very much.
12:02Take care.
12:08Salil.
12:09Hi, Rebecca.
12:10Welcome back.
12:12You are now seven questions away from the new top prize of $50,000.
12:16Here is your question.
12:17Good luck.
12:19A popular children's book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek is titled Where Is The What?
12:27A, Red Duck.
12:29B, Orange Pig.
12:30C, Yellow Cow.
12:32D, Green Sheep.
12:34It does ring a bell from primary school.
12:39Um, my brain's saying A, my heart's saying D, but I'm saying a pass.
12:48You can't pass, you must play.
12:49Oh.
12:52C, lock in.
12:55Lock in C?
12:56Yeah.
12:58Wait a second.
12:59The logic was your head was saying A and your heart was saying D and then you locked in C?
13:03Yes.
13:04That's right.
13:06Okay.
13:08That's logic.
13:11I need to take a moment to collect myself and so do you.
13:13So we will reveal the answer right after this.
13:26Welcome back.
13:27I'm here with Salil.
13:28He is seven questions away from $50,000.
13:32Before the break, I asked the question.
13:34A popular children's book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek is titled Where Is The What?
13:38There are tens of thousands of mums and dads screaming at the television.
13:42They know the answer to this.
13:45You locked in C, Yellow Cow.
13:47You were tossing up between A, Red Duck and D, Green Sheep.
13:52Salil.
13:52It was D, Green Sheep.
13:55So sorry.
13:56Thank you for playing.
13:57You've been a great contestant.
14:04Hi, Laura.
14:05Hi.
14:05Welcome back to The Hot Seat.
14:07I'm assuming you would have known the answer to that one.
14:09I did know that one.
14:10I even got the little plush at home of Green Sheep.
14:12So yes, I did.
14:13Okay.
14:14Well, you are now six questions away from the new top prize of $20,000.
14:18This question is worth $1,500.
14:20You have 30 seconds.
14:21Best of luck.
14:24The Summer Olympics, hosted at the highest altitude, took place in which city?
14:30A, Beijing.
14:31B, Helsinki.
14:33C, Montreal.
14:34D, Mexico City.
14:36Um, I don't think Mexico or Montreal.
14:42I am tossing up between A and B and I can't pass.
14:45So I don't know.
14:46My gut is saying Beijing.
14:47So please, Rebecca, lock in A, Beijing.
14:50Lock in A, Beijing.
14:53Yeah.
14:53Laura, it was in fact D, Mexico City.
14:58Thank you so much for playing.
15:00Thank you so much for having me.
15:01Thank you so much for having me.
15:08Paul.
15:11Slightly awkward.
15:12You're the last man standing.
15:15You have all the work to do.
15:18You have five questions to get you that $10,000.
15:22Oof.
15:23No pressure.
15:24No pressure.
15:25No pressure.
15:25How are you feeling?
15:27Pressure.
15:29Okay.
15:30Well, I'm going to read this $1,500 question.
15:33You have 30 seconds.
15:35Best of luck.
15:38Woke Up This Morning by Alabama 3 is the theme song of which HBO drama series?
15:46A, succession.
15:47B, euphoria.
15:49C, The Sopranos.
15:51D, The White Lotus.
15:54I don't think it's The White Lotus.
15:57I feel like euphoria is not quite the right tone for this.
16:05I'm trying to remember.
16:06I thought I knew who the Alabama 3 was.
16:09I haven't seen succession.
16:11But if I have to go for something, I'm going to lock in C, The Sopranos.
16:15Lock in C, The Sopranos.
16:18Have you seen The Sopranos?
16:19No.
16:21Paul.
16:22I know.
16:23I know.
16:23It's an embarrassment.
16:25It's an iconic series.
16:27Yes.
16:27With an iconic theme song.
16:29Uh-huh.
16:30Is it this one?
16:31Woke Up This Morning.
16:33It's C, The Sopranos.
16:42That is pure relief on your face.
16:46Indeed.
16:47You still have to answer four questions correctly.
16:51Mm-hmm.
16:52I've got a feeling you can do it, though.
16:54Sure.
16:55With the literal confidence I've approached that one with, I'm sure.
16:57It'll be fine.
16:59Here we go, Paul.
17:00This question is for 2,500.
17:04Which DC Comics character is the alter ego of Selina Kyle?
17:10A, Catwoman.
17:12B, Wonder Woman.
17:13C, Poison Ivy.
17:15D, Phantom Lady.
17:17Oh, I'm so happy I'm a nerd.
17:19Oh, I'm so happy I'm a nerd.
17:21Lock in A, Catwoman.
17:23Lock in A, Catwoman.
17:25Catwoman is correct.
17:33Keep going.
17:35Paul, we're all behind you, aren't we?
17:37Yes, we are.
17:39I want you to get this.
17:42Three questions from 10,000.
17:45This one is worth 4,000.
17:47Good luck.
17:51Held annually in Birmingham, Crufts is the world's largest what?
17:57A, Cheesemakers Conference.
17:59B, Dance-a-thon.
18:01C, Dog Show.
18:03D, Bake Sale.
18:06I know the name from something.
18:09I...
18:09Like, Dog Show sits in my mind, but I'm not 100% sure why.
18:15Dance-a-thon doesn't feel right.
18:17And Cheesemakers Conference could be correct.
18:21Part of me thought bake sale, but...
18:23I don't know.
18:25Ten seconds.
18:26Oh, let's lock in C, Dog Show.
18:29Lock in C, Dog Show.
18:31Why were you leaning towards C?
18:33I have two images in my head right now.
18:36I either have dogs leaping over poles or the Great British Bake Off,
18:40and I can't figure out which one it's connected to.
18:44Well, Paul, we will find out the answer right after this.
19:01Welcome back. I'm here with Paul.
19:03He's got all the work cut out for him.
19:05He's a very lonely studio.
19:07There are no other contestants.
19:09It's just you.
19:10You are three questions away from $10,000.
19:13Before the break, I asked you,
19:15held annually in Birmingham,
19:17Crufts is the world's largest what?
19:21Paul, you are the best in show because it was C, Dog Show.
19:26No!
19:35Who knew?
19:36Who knew?
19:36I certainly didn't.
19:38Well, you did, clearly.
19:40You're only two questions away from $10,000.
19:43What would you do with that?
19:45$10,000.
19:46Oh, I would throw all my money into buying as many things for my kids as I could.
19:50Oh!
19:51They've been eyeing off various video games,
19:54and I'd love to spoil them.
19:57I love spoiling them generally, but I'd love to spoil them.
19:59Oh, okay.
20:01I mean, we were already behind you,
20:03and now everyone's triple behind you.
20:06Paul, this question's for $6,000.
20:09You are two away from $10,000.
20:11Here is your question for $6,000.
20:1430 seconds.
20:15Good luck.
20:17Lake Como is in which European country?
20:21A. Croatia.
20:23B. France.
20:25C. Ireland.
20:26D. Italy.
20:30Well, the second time today, I actually know the answer with reasonable confidence,
20:34and I think it's because George Clooney got married at Lake Como in D. Italy.
20:41Lock it in.
20:42Lock in D. Italy.
20:44He did indeed get married in D. Italy.
20:53I mean, come on, Paul.
20:56You just got, like, four in a row.
20:57How are you feeling?
21:00Still about as confident as I did at the beginning, which is...
21:04You've got to have faith, because you are now one question away from $10,000.
21:10We are all behind you, are we not?
21:15I want to give away this money.
21:18Don't let me down, Paul.
21:20Here is your $10,000 question.
21:24Who played environmental activist Erin Brockovich in the movie of the same name?
21:30A. Julia Roberts.
21:32B. Angelina Jolie.
21:34C. Sandra Bullock.
21:36D. Jennifer Aniston.
21:37B. Angelina Jolie.
21:41This is an iconic role.
21:42Anyone who doesn't know this answer would be insane, because this, like, was essentially, quintessentially,
21:50A. Julia Roberts. Lock it in.
21:52A. Julia Roberts.
21:53Wait.
21:53Wait.
21:54What?
21:54Am I locking in A. Julia Roberts?
21:57Yes.
21:57It's...
21:58It's an incredible film.
21:59It is.
22:00Wasn't it?
22:01I loved it.
22:02Me too.
22:03Which is why...
22:04And guess who played it?
22:05Well, you obviously know.
22:06It was A. Julia Roberts.
22:07A. Julia Roberts.
22:11Ha!
22:12C. I have to give you a hug.
22:15A. Julia Roberts.
22:15Oh, my God.
22:17A. Julia Roberts.
22:19Ha!
22:19Ha!
22:19Thank you!
22:21Congratulations!
22:23Yeah!
22:2610,000 dollars.
