00:33Welcome to Tipping Point, where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine,
00:36so let's meet them. Hi, I'm Casey, I'm a university student from Melbourne and if I win the jackpot
00:43today I'm going to use it to do some more solo travelling. Hi Todd, I'm Andrew, I'm a retired
00:48policeman from Melbourne. I once pulled over a priest for speeding and I fined him five
00:52our fathers. Hi, I'm Fiona, I'm a flight attendant from Brisbane and if I win tonight I've promised
01:01each of my kids $2,000 each so I have to win the jackpot. A lot of money to be
01:06made here
01:07today Fiona, you're going to have to play well. But Fiona, as you would well know, I've done
01:13a lot of flying in my time and I know it's so important that everybody pays attention when
01:18you do the safety briefing. Can you do maybe a Tipping Point one for me?
01:22I can do a welcome aboard for you? Yeah, go on. Okay. Good morning and welcome aboard
01:27Tipping Point flight 111 to Melbourne. My name's Fiona and in command of our aircraft, Captain
01:33Todd Woodbridge. Nice. How is that? Love it. Great start Fiona. I feel like I'm at work.
01:42Andrew, tell us about pulling over the priest. Pulled a car over for speeding. It was a priest,
01:47he was running late to officiate a funeral. So he said. So he said.
01:51I went back to the car and came back with written down on a piece of paper, five our
01:56father's as his fine. What was his reaction to that? Yeah, he was quite relieved because
01:59he thought he was going to get a ticket. He was like, thank you very much. And Casey,
02:04you're off to Camp America I understand soon. Fingers crossed. That is the goal. I'd love
02:09to go and work over in a summer camp and just have fun. Well let's see whether you can get
02:13some money to take with you. I know you all want it but we need to get the game underway
02:16to
02:16find out who's going to play for our jackpot. So let's play round one, Bank Builder.
02:25All right. Bank Builder is your chance to make some serious money. Every counter that you push
02:30over the tipping point, $100 gets added to your bank. In this round, you each start with three
02:34counters. Now if you answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine
02:39or you could ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead. If you answer incorrectly
02:44or don't answer within three seconds, then I'll take a counter away from you. In the machine,
02:48you'll see the two double counters. Push one of those over and you'll double the value of your drop
02:52along with the mystery counters. And if you can push one of those over, you'll be going home with
02:56amazing prize here today. Hands on buzzers and here comes the opening question.
03:02Na-na-na-na-na-na, she's got the look, is a lyric from a hit 1989 single by which
03:07Swedish
03:07pop duo. Fiona. Roxette. Yes, good start. You don't know how long I've worked out getting
03:14na-na-na-na-na-na. What do you want to do, Fiona? You're going to kick us off with
03:19the first
03:19counter today? I might pass it to Casey. Oh, okay. It could be good for Casey. We'll find
03:26out, Casey. Where are you going? Goodness. I might go drop zone three. Light it up then.
03:32First drop of the day. What can we expect from our machine? Whoa. It's a surly start. Crashes
03:40down hard. It does. I hope it does something. Here it goes. Please do something. Oh, here we
03:46go. An early payday. Phew, thank goodness. That was three over the tipping point. So 300
03:57goes up. Thanks, Fiona. And let's take it from our machine. And Casey, you've got the lead.
04:03Courtesy of Fiona. All right, here comes the second question. Dante Exum and Jock Landale
04:09are Australian-born players competing in which professional US sport? Casey. NBA. Correct.
04:17Basketball. Yes, indeed. Great work. I think I might go drop zone three again. I'm feeling
04:25like it's the right thing. The audience like it for you, Casey. Get flat, though. Oh, it
04:34does. Good. Dives down. Coming out of the machine hot today. Give me something, machine.
04:40Please. And nothing. Oh. That was what Fiona was hoping for on the first one. Okay, Casey, single

05:13Oh, here it goes. Drop, drop, drop, drop. To the left, to the left. Oh. Not too bad. Yeah.
05:20Centre left. Oh. Lines itself up with the mischief. Okay, couple. Shove it a bit close. Yeah, that
05:25would be nice. Good job. You've got yourself five, Fiona. Five hundred goes into our machine.
05:32You're going to take it straight out, put it in your bank, and you've got yourself a two-counter
05:35lead over Casey. Right. Thank you. Here comes the next question. Which comedic actor stars
05:42as Steve in the 2025 film A Minecraft Movie? Casey? Jack Black. Yes. Ooh, you're leaving
05:50it to the last moment. This is your last counter to play. Is there enough movement to play it
05:57yet? I think I need to play. I'm going to go drop zone four, Todd. Light up four.
06:05With the right drop, you should end up with a mystery, Casey. Exactly. Ooh, here we go.
06:11It's going to have to be a lateral one, though. Yeah, it's very close. Um, this isn't looking
06:19good. Oh. Have faith, have faith. There you go. Please do something. Please, please, please,
06:26please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. Oh. Oh. They're just five
06:31on the edge. Bummer. You're out of counters. You've got three hundred in the bank, but you're

07:00right? They didn't pay for it. Yeah. Go to the left. Left, left, left. Drop. Good drop.
07:08That one will nudge left, I think. Yeah. When it hits the silver. Yeah, there it goes. Oh.
07:14Ooh. Left down. There you go. Let's go. Come on. Oh. Oh. Wow. I've got a feeling whoever
07:21gets the next question correct might be able to clean that up. Here comes the next question.

07:59Happy New Year.
08:01Happy New Year.
08:03You got yourself eight, including a mystery, Andrew, so you hit the lead.
08:08So great. Money goes up. We'll put that into the bank, and with a single
08:11counter, you'll find yourself three counters in front of Fiona. And also, you've won a Harvey
08:17Norman gift card to spend on furniture, bedding, home appliances, and technology valued at
08:221,500. It's thanks to Harvey Norman, where you'll find the best brands, best range, and
08:28best prices. That's great. Thank you, Todd.
08:31So good. So good. All right, Andrew, you've got a single counter left to keep building your
08:35bank. Fiona, you've still got two. Here comes the next question. Name for a French Benedictine

08:45that on the plane, don't we? I drink quite a bit of it, Todd. Light up drop zone three.
08:51Thanks, Todd. Okay, light it up. Here we go. All right, little counter, you can do it.
09:01Oh, yeah. Okay. Took its time coming. Okay, that's interesting. The shelf was moving back
09:05in. Get flat. Get up. Oh, the rider. It's a rider. Oh, is it a rider? Yeah. It's a rider.
09:11You think it is? Yeah. Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Please. Wow. Oh. Well done. That takes
09:24some skill, because normally rider doesn't give you anything, and you've found yourself eight.
09:28Eight hundred. Fiona. That's lovely. Thank you, machine.
09:33A little bit of cheers to that drop, Fiona. One thousand three hundred is in your bank.

10:02three seconds. Right. Here we go. What is the common name for the biblical garden that was home
10:08to Adam and Eve? Garden of Eden. Indeed it was. Nice work. Good work. Where does he go?
10:17I'm thinking light up drop zone two. Two? Okay. Light that up. We have evaded either of drop zone one
10:24or two.
10:27And she goes. Bang. Yep. That could be good. I think so.
10:35Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There you go. Come on.
10:40Ooh. Can't quite find five. Yeah. Something bad.
10:44But, did get two. And it's $200 goes in the machine. We're going to put that in the bank, Andrew,
10:49and you'll find yourself with a thousand.
10:51And at the end of our bank build around, Casey's got $300. Andrew's got a thousand. Fiona, $1,300.
10:58So, stick around to see who survives in our quick fire round coming up next.
11:15We've got the vibe here today. Welcome back to Tipping Point.
11:18Casey and Andrew and Fiona are all hoping to play for $20,000. This round is going to be so
11:23important.
11:23So, let's keep it going. And we're going to play quick fire.
11:31And in the round, you'll each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
11:35Every correct answer, I'm going to give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:38The contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to.
11:43Fiona, you've got the lead by three over Andrew, which gives you the option of playing first.
11:47I think I'm going to play, Todd, because I just want to get this over with.
11:53I'm so scared about not knowing one question.
11:57Yeah, okay. Clear the head. Yeah.
11:59Deep breath. Yeah, I know. I can do this.

12:45Well, I'm having...
12:46I am embarrassed.
12:47Never mind.

13:06Okay.
13:06That's not the left.
13:07It wasn't the side I wanted, but yeah.
13:09And there's a gap at the front.
13:11There is a gap.
13:14Three gap.
13:15Ooh.
13:16Okay.
13:16Nearly.
13:17A bit disappointing, isn't it?
13:18Two more.
13:19Should you go back to three, audience?
13:23I might try drop zone two.
13:25Let's light that up.
13:30Here we come.
13:31Ooh.
13:32That's a good spot, though.
13:33Possibly.

13:36Four.

13:39Come on, baby.
13:41Oh, straight prize.

13:45Seven hundred.
13:46Okay.
13:47That's good.
13:47Good drop there.
13:49We're going to leave that.

13:51And you have a final counter to play.
13:53I'll go drop zone one.
13:57Thanks.
13:57Yeah.
14:04All right.
14:05Ooh.
14:05Maybe during the corner.
14:07Come on, little counter.
14:08Push it over.
14:09It's over.
14:09There you go.
14:11You can do it.
14:12Oh, wow.
14:16I think I'm happy with that.
14:18You should be.
14:18It's another seven.
14:19Another $700.
14:21Wow.
14:21That's your grand total of 1,400.
14:24That's good.
14:24And you've left a lot of holes on the tipping point,
14:27as we transfer that $2,700 in the bank.
14:31So, Andrew, you've got a thousand.
14:33That's now 17 behind Fiona.
14:35Yeah.
14:35I've got a lot of work to do, Todd.
14:36There's a decision to be made here.
14:38Yeah.
14:38Whether to play or not.
14:40No, I'm going to pass, Todd.
14:41Are you?
14:42Ooh.
14:44Casey.
14:45I'm scared.
14:46Casey.
14:47You can do it.
14:49It's going to take a lot of work for God,
14:51and it's going to take a miracle,
14:52but let's just give it a go.
14:54You're up for it.
14:54Good.
14:55Yeah.
14:57All right, Casey.
14:59Good luck.
14:59You need counters to be able to chase him down.

15:44Could you find seven?
15:46There's only one spot I can see where that's possible.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Let's see how I go with drop zone one.
15:51Good luck, Casey.
15:53Light it up.
16:02Come down flat.
16:03At least get flat for Casey.
16:05Come on.
16:06Get flat.
16:06It does.
16:07It does.
16:08It's kind of sitting in that little corner.
16:11What's going to happen?
16:12It can.
16:12Give me something.
16:13Give me something.
16:14Oh.
16:16It just sat in that little V.
16:19That's okay.
16:20Such is life.
16:21But I like Casey.
16:23Unfortunately, I've got nothing to be able to put into your bank.
16:25So Andrew, well played by you.
16:28Sorry.
16:29That's alright.
16:29No, your fault.
16:30You were hoping that Casey was going to build a little bit.
16:33Unfortunately, that didn't happen as much as you would have liked.
16:36No, that didn't.
16:3630 seconds goes on the clock.
16:37Are you ready?

17:18Slow start.
17:19Middle of that was excellent.
17:20You got yourself three counters.
17:21So, can you chase down Fiona?
17:23You need to close that gap.
17:2517's a lot, but you can start working on it.
17:28Line up.
17:29Drop zone one, thanks Todd.
17:30Yep.
17:30On it is.
17:31Work on that one.
17:32Sensible choice, Andrew.
17:34I need to get that double.
17:37Okay, next.
17:38Oh, that came down fast.
17:40Oh, it almost thought about riding.
17:42It didn't.
17:43Yeah.
17:44If it pushes right a bit, it could be good.
17:46There you go.
17:47Yeah.
17:47Oh.
17:48Well, this is going to get a wide push.
17:50Oh.
17:51Oh.
17:54Here I come, Fiona.
17:56I know.
17:57So, you needed 17.
17:59And boy, did that cut it quickly, Andrew.
18:01Eight over the tipping point gives you $800.
18:06Where's the next one going?
18:08I think I'll go one again.
18:10Thanks, Todd.
18:10All right.
18:11Light up one.
18:13Okay, here we go.
18:15There we go.
18:18Oh, yeah, that's...
18:19Oh, maybe that might hide there, I think.
18:22Well, I don't know.
18:24Oh.
18:25Oh.
18:25There you go.
18:26Came down.
18:28Oh!
18:29Oh!
18:30Get down!
18:31Get down!
18:32Oh, the double came.
18:35I think you're hoping for more.
18:36It ended up being two, so it's going to be $400 that goes up.
18:39That'll give you $1,200.
18:41The game's tightening as you have one more left to play.
18:46I think I'll go three this time.
18:49Okay, light up three.
18:50I want to go to the right here if I can.
18:54Don't get that gap.
18:56Don't get that gap.
18:57Yep.
18:57It's what we want.
18:57Yeah, that's good.
18:58Here we go.
19:00What will it get down?
19:01I'll bring something.
19:02Oh!
19:03Oh, the other double comes with it.
19:06Here we go.
19:08Nothing.
19:08Oh!
19:10Nothing else is going to come over with it, Andrew, but that was a mighty effort.
19:13We're going to take $1,200.
19:15We'll put that into your account, and you're going to have $2,200.
19:18And at the end of Quickfire, Fiona, $2,700.
19:22A five-counter lead over Andrew.
19:24And Casey, with only $300.
19:27Unfortunately, we've found your tipping points.
19:30That's okay.
19:30Thanks for having me.
19:32Thank you, Casey.
19:32Casey.
19:33Casey, wonderful having you on the show.
19:35Thanks, Todd.
19:36Lovely to be here.
19:38Andrew and Fiona.
19:39Oh, I can't wait for this.
19:40This is going to be fun.
19:41They're going head-to-head.
19:42Who will go on to play for the $20,000?
19:44Find out.
19:45You've got to stick around right here on Tipping Plane.
19:59Welcome back, everyone.
20:00I hope you're ready for another tense battle as we get ready to go head-to-head.
20:03It's Andrew and Fiona.
20:05One of them will play for $20,000.
20:07Before we get to that, though, Andrew, a retired policeman,
20:10can you tell me a little bit about the badge that's sitting on your collar there?
20:13It's Police Veterans Victoria, which is a not-for-profit charity organisation
20:16that provides support to retired police people who, as you can imagine,
20:21a lot retire with some issues after experiencing a lot of trauma.
20:24Most members of the public will experience five, six traumatic events in a lifetime,
20:28whereas a policeman with a career of about 15 years
20:31will experience 600 to 700 traumatic events.
20:34And that has a significant impact on your mental health.
20:36Absolutely, it does.
20:38My dad was a career police officer as well, so I understand what it's like.
20:42Now, Fiona, we know you're a flight attendant,
20:44and up in the skies there's some crazy things can happen at times.
20:48What's the craziest you've come across?
20:49Well, this was back when I was flying in the 90s,
20:53and I noticed two young backpackers very much entwined.
20:58Oh.
21:00So I just tore down to the back, I just didn't know what to say,
21:04and kept peeking out to see if they'd finished or not.
21:10So they eventually did, and I just walked down and smiled.
21:16You know what happens when you do that sort of thing, Fiona?
21:18You end up with kids.
21:20Exactly.
21:21And you've got one of yours here today.
21:23Yes.
21:23G'day, Billy.
21:24My son, Billy.
21:24Well, let's keep it moving.
21:25It's the flight attendant against the former police officer.
21:28Whoa.
21:28They're going head-to-head.
21:34All right, in the round.
21:35You'll both have two questions.
21:37Answer your question correctly.
21:38You get the count of the play into the machine.
21:40If you get it incorrect, your opponent steals it.
21:42And if you are unsure of the answer, you can pass the question.
21:46Fiona, you're in the lead.
21:48Sure.
21:48And that gives you the first question.
21:50Okay.
21:50Here it is.
21:51In the same calendar year, which two months in a row both have 31 days?
21:57Pass or play?
21:59I'll play, please, Todd.
22:01Okay.
22:02And I think it's September and October.
22:05What would you have said, Andrew?
22:07Would you have gone September, October?
22:08No.
22:09I've just done the poem.
22:10It doesn't matter.
22:11You've already given me your answer.
22:13I know.
22:13And we're going to find out whether it is September and October.
22:22July and August.
22:23Oh, it's July, August.
22:25Yes.
22:25The unfortunate part is that Andrew has your counter.
22:28He does.
22:29And an opportunity to close the gap, which currently stands at five, Andrew.
22:33Two.
22:34I'm coming for you, Fiona.
22:35Where to?
22:36Two.
22:37I'm going to go with one.
22:38Light up one for me.
22:40Thanks, Todd.
22:40Light up one.
22:42Oh.
22:47Yeah.
22:48Oh, it's a bit early there, man.
22:50No, it's good.
22:52Now, it's sitting in between...
22:54It's not going to push much here.
22:55Wow.
22:55The grey and the black.
22:57I might get a couple if I'm lucky.
22:58Yeah.
23:00Oh, yeah.
23:01Yeah.
23:01Oh, good.
23:02Good anticipation.
23:03A couple it was.
23:05Yes.
23:05So, it's two.
23:06Two hundred.
23:07That'll go up.
23:08It'll come straight out of the machine into your bank, Andrew.
23:11You'll have 2,400.
23:14And the gap's now three.
23:16And you have the next question.
23:17Okay.
23:19In 2022, who became the youngest ever tennis player to be ranked ATP world number one?
23:26Pass or play?
23:28Pass.
23:29Thanks, Todd.
23:30Fiona.
23:30I just...
23:31It's a female and I just...
23:34I've forgotten her name.
23:37Damn.
23:39Give me a player then.
23:41Any player.
23:42Oh, Sam Stozer.
23:43Okay.
23:44Good old Sammy.
23:45Let's find out if it's Sam Stozer.
23:48We know that she's probably been retired since then.
23:54What is that?
23:55We'll see what...
23:56In fact, it's Carlos Alcaraz.
23:59Oh, right.
24:00Okay.
24:00So, never mind.
24:01Birdluck.
24:02Andrew, another chance here.
24:04Three behind.
24:05I'll go one again, thanks, Todd.
24:06One it is.
24:07Light up.
24:16Okay.
24:17Maybe.
24:17You need it to sort of go more to the right here.
24:20Oh.
24:21That's good.
24:22That is good.
24:23Oh, you're going to get a wide push.
24:25Oh.
24:26Oh.
24:27In the lead.
24:28In the lead.
24:29It was three to tie and four to get ahead and you got yourself four, Andrew.
24:34You found a lead.
24:35Four hundred goes in.
24:37I saw four.
24:38Come on.
24:38Let's put that into the bank, Andrew.
24:40That'll give you 2,800.
24:41It's a one-counter lead.
24:43There are two questions left to go.
24:45Who's going to play for the 20,000?
24:47Stay with us to find out.
25:01You've got to love a seesawing battle and that's what we've got here today, Andrew and Fiona.
25:05It's a one-counter lead now to Andrew.
25:07You've got the next question, Fiona, and these last two counters are going to be critical.
25:12Here is your question.
25:14The song, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, first appeared at the end of which Monty Python film.
25:22Pass or play?
25:23I think I'm going to play this, Todd.
25:25Okay.
25:26And I think it's the life of Brian.
25:29Andrew, would you agree with that?
25:31I'd agree with that.
25:32Yep.
25:33Well.
25:33Always look on the bright side of life.
25:39Nice work, audience.
25:42Is it the life of Brian?
25:46Yep.
25:47Well done.
25:48Right.
25:49Can I just confer with my CFO, please?
25:52Absolutely you can, because this is hugely important.
25:55One-counter behind.
25:56Billion.
25:57Two.
25:57Two.
25:58Light up drop zone two, please, Todd.
26:00It's done for you.
26:02No!
26:07Come on, little counter, please.
26:09Be nice.
26:09Oh!
26:10Stop it.
26:12It's a ghost rider.
26:14Not yet.
26:14No.
26:15Oh!
26:16Oh!
26:17It's a Winona rider.
26:19Oh!
26:20Stop it.
26:22Oh, he didn't even push one over.
26:25Okay, that is critical.
26:27That is critical.
26:28That has kept Andrew in the lead.
26:29Yes.
26:30So, fair bit riding on this final question for you, Andrew.
26:34Oh.
26:34Will you be willing to take it on?
26:36Mmm.
26:36Here it is.
26:38In the first aid-related abbreviation, Doctors ABC, what does the B stand for?
26:46Breathing.
26:47He's playing.
26:48Oh, sorry.
26:49I'm playing.
26:51He's playing.
26:51And if you're not, you better hold your breath.
26:56Fiona, would you agree with Andrew with that?
26:58It totally is, yes.
26:59Totally is.
27:00Breathing.
27:01Let's find out.
27:04If breathing is the B in Doctors ABC.
27:13It is.
27:17All right.
27:18Good on you, Andrew.
27:21Pressure on you.
27:22You came up with the goods, Andrew.
27:23Now it's time to see if you can make more money.
27:28Light up drop line three, you think.
27:30Light it up.
27:35Okay, here we go.
27:40Oh, that's fine.
27:41That's okay.
27:42It might be all right.
27:43Yep.
27:44Oh, I have a couple here.
27:46Yeah.
27:52Clearly.
27:55Well done.
27:55Strong way to finish the round, Andrew.
27:57You got yourself another $500 as it goes into the machine.
28:00Five came over that zipping point.
28:02And when we add it into your bank, you'll sit back at the end of the round with $3,300.
28:12It was fiercely contested and at the end of our head-to-head, Andrew goes through with
28:17$3,300.
28:18Fiona, $2,700.
28:20Played brilliantly and been very entertaining on the show today.
28:22It's been wonderful having you.
28:24Thank you so much.
28:25I've had such a good time and all the best.
28:28Thank you, everyone.
28:28That was great.
28:29Anyway.
28:33A bit of a hugger.
28:36And so, Fiona, unfortunately it means we've found your tipping point.
28:40But, Andrew, for you it means you're going through and you're going to play for our jackpot.
28:47It's worth $20,000.
28:49Can Andrew master the machine and take home the money?
28:52We'll find out straight after this.
29:06Andrew has plenty of fans in the audience today and we can see why.
29:10Because $3,300 is yours, Andrew, and one of the reasons they're behind you is because
29:15of the service that you've given to our community.
29:17I want to know a little bit more about what you did during your career, though.
29:20I was in the job for 28 years.
29:22Long time.
29:22I was fortunate I went overseas as a police keeper with the UN.
29:26And then I spent a lot of time in technical surveillance.
29:29Fascinating.
29:30You're retired now.
29:31Yeah, I retired prematurely due to ill health.
29:34But the good news is that you're looking healthy and you're going well.
29:37So, if you can get the money today, what are you going to do with it?
29:41For me, it's about creating memories with my kids.
29:43Yeah.
29:43So, it'll be a holiday somewhere.
29:45So, a holiday destination with the boys?
29:47Yeah.
29:47Well, they're still picking one at the moment.
29:49Are they?
29:49So, yeah, we'll see where we end up.
29:50Well, it'll depend on how much money you could win today.
29:52Oh, that's right.
29:52Yeah, it might be Phillip Island.
29:55Well, let's hope not.
29:57Let's hope you can get more than that.
29:58Because we're about to play the jackpot round.
30:04Alright, time to put the jackpot counter in, push it back out.
30:07There's a minimum of 20,000.
30:09There is a double sitting in drop zone 3 on the bottom shelf.
30:12If you could get it with that, of course, that double is a value to drop to 40.
30:16What are you thinking?
30:17I'm not sure.
30:17I'll have to seek some advice from the audience.
30:19What are we thinking?
30:22Yeah, I think drop zone 3 is the way to go.
30:25Light up drop zone 3 and let's see if we can get a jackpot here today.
30:34Get down flat.
30:35Ooh.
30:36Ooh, it does too.
30:37Ooh, I was a bit worried there.
30:38Yeah, no.
30:38It hung in tight.
30:40It came down quickly.
30:41Sometimes it bounces around a bit more.
30:43Alright.
30:44Sitting over there, right on the edge of 2 and 3.
30:47So no money coming over at this point.
30:50Every counter will be worth 100 when that happens, no matter when it falls.
30:53So let's get the game moving once again and find out the five categories you're going to play today, Andrew.
30:58Ooh, have a look at that.
31:00Planes, trains, automobiles, roller skates and rocket ships.
31:04Oh.
31:04You can play for one, two or three.
31:06The more you play for, the harder that question's going to be.
31:08What would you like to do here?
31:10Start from the top, work my way down and play three with each one.
31:13Okay, done.
31:14Here we go.
31:15Come on, let's get behind, Andrew.
31:18Planes for three.
31:21Members of the 1960s band Jefferson Airplane reformed under what name?
31:26Jefferson Jetplane, Jefferson Starship or Jefferson Airport?
31:31I'd say Starship, Jefferson Starship.
31:33Light up Jefferson Starship.
31:36Is that the answer we're looking for?
31:42There you go.
31:43Good guess.
31:44Couple of that.
31:44Nice start.
31:46Okay.
31:47Let's keep things nice, loose, relaxed.
31:49See if we can get this nudging its way to the edge of the top shelf.
31:52Lighting up drop zone three.
31:59Here we go.
32:00Let's go to the left.
32:01Oh no.
32:02Sits down.
32:03That could clear out a bit of money.
32:04Yeah.
32:06Down that comes.
32:07One.
32:07Good.
32:08Might get a few here.
32:09Shuffle a bit forward.
32:10That's all right.
32:11You didn't.
32:13Four.
32:14Four to get going.
32:15That'll give you a total of 3,700 sitting in the machine.
32:18And we've got a second counter to put in there, so light it up again.
32:22Okay.
32:25I want it to the left this time.
32:28Left, left.
32:29Yeah.
32:29Yeah.
32:31Now just sit down and shuffle to the left.
32:34Shuffle to the left.
32:34Don't go on top.
32:35A little bit there.
32:35That's all right.
32:37I just don't want it pushing it further left.
32:39Yeah, that'll be tricky.
32:39That's my only concern.
32:40It doesn't.
32:41It's weight.
32:42It's all that weight that's sitting there.
32:44Yeah.
32:45Okay.
32:47Two more.
32:48Come on over.
32:50That'll give you 3,900 now.
32:53And we've got one more.
32:54We're going to have to get it all the way left.
32:55There's weight sitting at the front of that jackpot counter.
32:58So light it up.
33:00Yeah.
33:01Hard left.
33:02Hard left.
33:04Okay.
33:04Here we go.
33:10Perfect.
33:13Hit right on the perfect position there.
33:16Yeah.
33:16Happy with that.
33:17And none kept.
33:18It's okay.
33:19So we're out of counters.
33:20Let's go back to the board.
33:22Heading on down.
33:23Trains.
33:23We know that you're playing for three, so here we go.
33:28Which of these is not one of the train stations on a classic UK Monopoly board?
33:35Okay.
33:36Charing Cross, Marlebone or Liverpool Street?
33:40I think Charing Cross.
33:43I'll go Charing Cross.
33:45Light up Charing Cross.
33:47Why did you go that?
33:49The other two ring a bell, but it doesn't ring a bell.
33:51Righto.
33:53Is Charing Cross not one of the train stations on the UK Monopoly board?
34:00Got it.
34:02Yes.
34:06Okay.
34:07Light up drop zone three.
34:08Come on.
34:12Okay.
34:13Hard left again.
34:14Hard left.
34:14Left, left, left.
34:15Yes.
34:17Come on.
34:19Come on, down, down.
34:20Oh, yeah.
34:21It's going to go on top.
34:23Oh.
34:25Alright.
34:28Okay.
34:29Good news, bad news.
34:30Because five came over, so that's $500 going into the machine.
34:34That gives you $4,400.
34:35The sort of bad news is it's now riding, but it's getting close to the double.
34:40Yes.
34:40They're side by side.
34:41So it's all happening.
34:43I like that.
34:43We've only put four counters in the machine.
34:45Yeah.
34:46Okay.
34:47All right.
34:48Let's get the second one.
34:49Light it up.
34:50Come on.
34:51Let's go.
34:53Okay.
34:53Go left again.
34:54Left again.
34:55Left, left.
34:56Oh.
34:58Now, really hard to anticipate what's going to happen when these get down here.
35:04Oh, not another one of those.
35:05What's going on?
35:05Straight on top.
35:06No.
35:07It sits back down.
35:08Oh.
35:09Look at the double over there.
35:10All right.
35:11So two edge surfers in a row, but that one's been kind.
35:15Oh.
35:17Somehow the double has stayed without going over.
35:21It's defying gravity, I think.
35:22It certainly is.
35:23All right.
35:24Let's go back there again.
35:25Light it up.
35:29Okay.
35:30Go left.
35:30Go left.
35:31Yes.
35:32Yes.
35:33Here we go.
35:36Okay.
35:37Come on.
35:37Now, now, now this is the hard bit to anticipate.
35:40What's going to happen here?
35:42Right.
35:45We're only two categories in and this is looking very, very promising.
35:50Let's go back to the board.
35:51Now we're on to automobiles for three.
35:54Woo!
35:59Australian driver Oscar Piastri made his Formula One debut driving for which team?
36:04Was it Red Bull, Ferrari or McLaren?
36:09Uh, I think it's McLaren.
36:12All right.
36:13Light up McLaren.
36:14Not a lot of thought.
36:15First instinct is gone.
36:16And I tell you what, we're getting close to a jackpot here.
36:20So we need to take a bit of time and sweat about it.
36:22Yeah.
36:22We'll be back straight after the break to see if Andrew can win 20,000.
36:38Welcome back.
36:39Anticipation is high for Andrew.
36:41We have an amazing set up.
36:43But did you get this correct?
36:44Australian driver Oscar Piastri made his Formula One debut driving for which team?
36:49Your instinct said McLaren very quickly.
36:52Was it McLaren?
36:55Yes.
36:56Nice.
37:00Let's light up drop zone three.
37:03Okay.
37:07Okay, let's go left again.
37:09Left, left, left.
37:10Left, left, left, left.
37:10Making Noo!
37:14Do you want to just tease this a bit?
37:15As it generally does, this machine?
37:18Can you get some more money in the bank?
37:20.
37:22Another 2 over the tipping point.
37:23Which will give you $4,600.
37:26And let's light it up again.
37:27Drop zone three, please.
37:29That's out.
37:32To the left, left, left.
37:34Left, left, left, left.
37:35Yes.
37:37Okay, just get flat, just get flat, get flat, sit softly, well done.
37:43Okay, so what comes, let's slide it a little bit of light, get the line down, okay, yep, good.
37:49Oh, here we go.
37:50Okay, push it forward, push it forward, push it forward.
37:55Okay.
37:58All right, the double's over, so 40's out of play for the moment, but we're not worried, we're still in
38:03good shape.
38:04Another four came over, including that double, so that's another $800, the bank all of a sudden went boom, $5
38:10,400.
38:11And we've got one more, what I do like is that we've got counters behind, because we know it's sitting,
38:17the ones behind are going to keep pushing.
38:19Light it up.
38:19Here we go.
38:20Come on, Andrews.
38:22Come on.
38:24Okay, go left.
38:25Left, yes.
38:26Yeah.
38:29Oh, I don't know.
38:31Well, maybe.
38:31Yep.
38:32Let's have some push that line.
38:33Double a little left.
38:33Push, push, push, push.
38:34Come on, come on.
38:35Oh, yeah.
38:35Oh, it's weight.
38:38Too heavy.
38:38It's the weight.
38:39It was a single, so you've got five and a half grand in the bank.
38:42That's looking good, but so is the jackpot counter.
38:45So let's head back to our categories.
38:48Moving on down is roller skates.
38:51Playing for three, do we remember this?
38:53What is the title of a 1975 film starring James Kahn about an ultra-violent sport played on motorbikes and
39:02roller skates?
39:04Is it rollerball, murderball or thunderball?
39:08It's not thunderball, I know that.
39:11I think it was murderball.
39:12I think murderball.
39:14I'll look at it murderball.
39:15Light up murderball.
39:16Yeah.
39:17Have we got that correct?
39:22Oh, rollerball.
39:23Rollerball.
39:24A little bit of a spanner in the works.
39:26So we've got one more left to play.
39:28Rocket ships.
39:29Let's find out what it is.
39:31It's for three.
39:32Come on.
39:34Played beautifully.
39:35One more could get us home here, Andrew.
39:38Come on.
39:39We want you to get this.
39:40Launching a successful moon landing mission in 2023, the ISRO, is the space agency of which country?
39:49Italy, India or Ireland?
39:52I know India has a space program.
39:55I don't think it's Ireland or Italy.
39:57I think it's India.
39:58I think it's India.
39:58I'll lock in India.
40:00Light up India.
40:01Three counters could get it done here.
40:03But let's find out if that's the correct answer.
40:12Come on.
40:14Come on.
40:19Righto.
40:20We're going to light up drop zone three.
40:22We need it to go left.
40:23Come on, everyone.
40:24Good vibes and energy here.
40:28Go left.
40:29Go left.
40:30Left, left, left.
40:32Keep rolling.
40:35Just don't ride.
40:38Good.
40:38Good.
40:38And then I just want it to push a little bit to the right.
40:42Feel that gap a little.
40:43No, it's gone the other way.
40:44Oh, it's tightened it, though.
40:46That's good.
40:46That's good.
40:47There's still money to be made here.
40:49Well, I had a little movement.
40:52Not yet.
40:53There's a big shadow.
40:53It's ready to come down.
40:55Second counter.
40:56Light up three.
41:00Come on.
41:02You can't hit it.
41:02Hard lift.
41:03Hard lift.
41:05Oh.
41:10Get down.
41:11Oh, no.
41:12Don't you dare do that.
41:14Come on.
41:14Oh.
41:16Good.
41:17Another two.
41:185,700.
41:20Come on, everybody.
41:22Let's hone in.
41:23Last counter.
41:25Light it up.
41:28Here we go.
41:29Go left.
41:29Go left.
41:30Oh, yes.
41:31Yeah.
41:32Come on.
41:33Come on.
41:36Oh, yeah.
41:38It's going to push right.
41:39It's going to push right.
41:40Push right.
41:40Push right.
41:41Push right.
41:44It's OK.
41:45You're only a push away.
41:47And at the end of the jackpot round.
41:49Oh, so close, Andrew.
41:52But you've got yourself $5,700.
41:54Great work.
41:57But, Andrew, if you're going away with the boys, that's not going to be quite enough.
42:01So, let's play jackpot temptation.
42:07But to do that, you're going to have to give up $5,700, which is a very nice tally sitting
42:12in the machine.
42:13However, there is $20,000 sitting there with one right push.
42:19So, single offer today because of the position that it's in.
42:24I'm going to offer you another three counters, but it's going to be worth $40,000.
42:28Oh.
42:31While you contemplate that, let's check in with the newsroom.
42:35All right, before we went to the newsroom, the offer, three counters, and the jackpot
42:40is worth $40,000.
42:43But, of course, you have to give up $5,700.
42:47It's very tempting.
42:49$40,000.
42:50It's a lot of money.
42:52$40,000.
42:54$40,000.
42:55$40,000.
42:56$40,000.
42:57$40,000.
42:58$40,000.
43:00Can you throw in a holiday?
43:03Could I throw in a holiday?
43:04Yeah.
43:05For what you've done for the community, 28 years working in the police force, and then
43:09also what you've been through, yes, I will throw in a holiday.
43:15Okay.
43:16Andrew, it's an all-inclusive holiday for two to Fiji.
43:20It includes flights, five nights at the Beachcoma Island Resort.
43:24It's valued at over $8,000.
43:25Thanks to the Holiday Package Pros at Travel Online.
43:30They think you deserve it.
43:32I think you deserve it.
43:33But you still have a decision to make.
43:36Todd, I'm going to play.
43:38Come on.
43:40Right.
43:41I've got to take $5,700 away.
43:43Off it goes.
43:45But this is the goal.
43:46This is what we're trying to get here.
43:48$40,000 goes back up and in.
43:50There it is.
43:53A lot of money.
43:55Come on now.
43:56You ready?
43:57I'm ready.
43:58Light up.
43:59Drop zone three.
44:00We're doing it for you.
44:01Come on.
44:01Come on.
44:03Come on.
44:06Okay.
44:07Go left.
44:07Go left.
44:08Go left.
44:08Go left.
44:09Left.
44:09Left.
44:10Okay.
44:11Like, maybe still if it goes second one.
44:13Yeah.
44:17What that's done is set up a potential double push, which actually could be okay.
44:23But we need this left.
44:24Light it up, please.
44:25We need this on that left side.
44:27Come on.
44:30Go left.
44:31Go left.
44:32Oh.
44:33Stay there.
44:34Stay there.
44:34Oh.
44:40Right.
44:41Oh.
44:42Okay.
44:43If it can squeeze into that gap, it still might drop that other one across.
44:47Come on.
44:48Get down flat.
44:50Move.
44:51It shoved it forward.
44:54And so, it's going to come down to the final counter.
44:57Exactly what we didn't want to happen.
45:00But if it can go left, there's two ready to come down.
45:03And it's going to need them both.
45:05And it's going to shuffle it forward.
45:07And there's your $40,000.
45:08Let's light it up for the last time.
45:10$40,000 is on this drop.
45:15There you go.
45:16Let's go.
45:23Come on.
45:25Come on.
45:26Come on.
45:27Come on.
45:28Go, go, go, go, go.
45:34Andrew, you're not leaving empty-handed.
45:36We've had good memories here today.
45:38We have.
45:38You've got the gift card, thanks to Harvey Norman, with $1,500 to spend.
45:42Thank you so much for everything that you've done.
45:45I'm so glad to see you in good health.
45:48Give me one last round of applause.
45:51And thanks, everyone, for watching at home.
45:54So, so close.
45:55And join us next time when three new contestants push their luck to the very edge on tipping points.
