00:00Our three contestants are about to tempt fate and take on this monstrous machine.
00:05Which one will drop the final counter for their chance to win our $20,000 jackpot?
00:09I'm Todd Woodbridge, let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:32Welcome to Tipping Point, where three contestants are ready to take on the machine, so let's meet them.
00:37Hi, I'm Nikki, a Franchise Manager from New South Wales, and if I win today, I'll take my husband and
00:42our girls on a trip to Europe for his 40th.
00:44Hi, I'm Phillip, I'm an Events Brand Ambassador.
00:46I've done over 150 events, including the Australian Open, but I've never been out of Melbourne, so I'd love to
00:51do some travel.
00:52Hi, I'm Paddy, I'm a retired football trainer.
00:54I've ridden 1,000 kilometres to raise money for Kids Cancer Research, and if I was to win any money
01:00today, I'd like to take my wife on a cruise from Honolulu back to Australia.
01:04Fantastic.
01:06So, Paddy, there's always a catalyst that gets you started working with a charity.
01:10What was the reason for you?
01:11I saw an ad on Facebook to say that they have a ride every October to raise money for Kids
01:17Cancer Research.
01:18Yep.
01:18And I thought, you know, I could do that, and so I got on the bike, and the 1st October,
01:23I rode over 1,100 kilometres.
01:24Peace.
01:25And raised $5,500.
01:27Well done, Paddy.
01:28Great work.
01:30And Phillip, I have to say, that is quite the jacket.
01:34One of the best that we've seen on the show to date.
01:37Oh, thank you.
01:38Maybe it will bring good luck today.
01:40Who knows?
01:41Yeah, hopefully.
01:41And if you were to win, you want to do a bit of travel.
01:43Yeah, look, I've never been out of Melbourne.
01:45I've done all these events in Melbourne, but yeah, I need to get out.
01:48Yeah.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Time to make it happen.
01:50I know.
01:50Good luck to you today, Phil.
01:51We'll see whether that happens here on Tipping Point.
01:54And Nikki, you want to go travelling.
01:55Is there a bucket list place in particular you'd like to go to?
01:58I used to live in the UK and travelled a bit around Europe, so I'd just like to retrace
02:02those steps and show my husband and our girls where our heritage comes from.
02:06Well, let's find out whether you're able to get those dollars.
02:08All three of you, I know, want them, so let's get the game started and play round one, Bank
02:12Builder.
02:15All right.
02:17So Bank Builder is your chance to make some serious cash.
02:20Each counter that you push over the Tipping Point will put $100 into your bank.
02:24And in this round, you each start with three counters.
02:27If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the
02:31machine, or you could pass to one of your opponents and ask them to play one of theirs
02:35instead.
02:36If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds, we take a counter away.
02:40Now, in the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:43They will double the value of your drop, obviously.
02:45And there are two mystery counters as well.
02:47If you could push those over the Tipping Point, you'll be walking away with some fabulous prizes.
02:51Hands on buzzers, please.
02:53And here comes the first question.
02:55Which classic Disney animated film about a lost boy features a song?
02:59Paddy?
03:00Pinocchio.
03:01No, it's Peter Pan.
03:04A lost boy who sings the song, You Can Fly, You Can Fly, You Can Fly.
03:09Too soon.
03:10Yes, indeed, Paddy.
03:11So, I hate to do this to you, but I've got to take your nearly counter away.
03:17Here we go.
03:18Second question.
03:19As Australian Prime Minister, Paul Kidding led which political party?
03:23Paddy?
03:24Australian Labour Party.
03:25Yes, you've redeemed yourself quickly, Paddy.
03:27Well done.
03:29So do you want to play it or pass it?
03:31I'm going to take a chance, Todd.
03:33Take a chance.
03:34And I'd like to light up drop zone one.
03:36Light it up then for Paddy.
03:37Good luck, Paddy.
03:39Good luck.
03:46Okay.
03:47That's sneaking in between both the black and silver.
03:51And when it doesn't align early, it often does that, Paddy.
03:55So, second counter gone.
03:58Nothing in the bank.
03:59Oh, hello.
04:00This is still in play.
04:01I spoke too early.
04:14Oh, oh.
04:15A dozen came over in the end, too.
04:17$600 coming your way.
04:19We'll put it into the machine.
04:21Transfer it into your bank.
04:23And you were right to play that one.
04:25Well done to you.
04:25Good start.
04:26Here comes the next question.
04:28Beginning with M, what syrup extracted from sugar cane is also known as...
04:32Nikki?
04:34Maple?
04:36Molasses as black strap.
04:39Like Paddy, I've got to take a counter away from you, Nikki.
04:43Plenty of time.
04:44Here comes the next question.
04:45Christian Dior founded his eponymous fashion house in which French city?
04:50Paddy?
04:51Paris.
04:52It is Paris, yes.
04:53Oh, my God.
04:54Phil, you've got to wait for me to say your name.
04:55Sorry.
04:57Lucky you didn't get in there, by the way.
05:00Well done, Paddy.
05:01You're going to play your third and final counter now.
05:02I think I might pass to Philip.
05:04There you go.
05:07You got in.
05:08You thought you'd got the buzzer.
05:09You gave her an answer which was not correct, actually.
05:13But you've also, thanks to Paddy, he's given you the chance to play.
05:16So where would you like to put it?
05:17Look, I might try just drop zone three.
05:19Okay, light her up.
05:27That's a better one.
05:29It's lined up directly behind the other black.
05:31Come on, come on.
05:31Let's see.
05:32Oh.
05:33Let's see.
05:35I don't know.
05:36Oh.
05:37Oh, that's all right.
05:39Oh, no, no.
05:40Oh, no, no.
05:41Oh.
05:43A lovely little donation from your Paddy.
05:45Absolutely.
05:45Five over the tipping point for you, Philip.
05:47Five hundred coming your way.
05:49It goes up.
05:50That's awesome.
05:50And then it comes out of the machine and into your bank.
05:53And that has your one counter.
05:55Yeah.
05:56Thanks, Paddy.
05:57Paddy, you have a counter left to play.
05:59Philip has two, as does Nicky.
06:01And we go to the next question.
06:03Which reality TV franchise features the segments Snatch Game and Lip Sync for your life?
06:10Nicky?
06:10Lip Sync Battle?
06:11No, it is RuPaul's Drag Race.
06:16Nicky, you've gone in twice.
06:17And I've got to take that one away from you as well.
06:20Time to make the last one pay.
06:22Next question.
06:24How many professional AFL clubs are based in South Australia?
06:28Philip?
06:29Five.
06:30Two.
06:31No.
06:33Crows and Port.
06:35Oh.
06:36I don't know.
06:37I need to brush up my AFL knowledge, I think.
06:38Never mind.
06:39I've got to take a counter away from you just keeping the game even and fair at this point.
06:43Yeah, yeah.
06:43That's all on it.
06:44Here we go.
06:45Everybody with a single counter left to play.
06:47Which word for a rough estimation is a portmanteau of estimate and guess?
06:53Nicky?
06:53Guestimate.
06:54You got it, Nicky.
06:55Well done.
06:59You got this one.
07:00What would you like to do with it?
07:01Um, three.
07:03Light up job's own streak.
07:07Right hand side looks a little better to me.
07:12Come on.
07:13Come on.
07:13Come on.
07:14That's going to go a little to the right.
07:16Buddy gets it.
07:16Buddy.
07:18Go, go, go, go, go, go.
07:22Well done.
07:23Good job.
07:24Oh, that one.
07:27It's a good drop toe.
07:28Five over the tipping point.
07:29$500 gets you in the game with these two.
07:32It'll go into the machine.
07:33Let's take it from there.
07:34And at the end of your bank builder round, Nicky, you can sit back with $500 and see what
07:39Philip and Paddy do.
07:42So we're down to the final two questions for you, Philip and Paddy.
07:46Here we go.
07:47Starring in films between 1922 and 1932, Rin Tin Tin was what animal?
07:53Paddy?
07:54The gentleman's shepherd.
07:55Correct, yeah.
07:56I only need a dog.
07:57Oh, darn.
08:00Okay, you've got your final counter.
08:01Where's it going to go?
08:03I think I might try drop zone four, light up drop zone four.
08:07Let's do it.
08:09First time in there.
08:15It's got to get flat first.
08:17Don't ride.
08:17It's usually okay until you get something in there.
08:20There's always a bit of space.
08:21Come on.
08:22Be kind to an old man.
08:24Come on.
08:26Nudge over to the right.
08:27Oh.
08:29Oh.
08:31Oh.
08:31Hustled in between two again.
08:33So Paddy, out of counters.
08:35And that means.
08:36Oh.
08:38Oh.
08:38I spoke too early again.
08:41Oh.
08:43Almost too good to be true.
08:45Sorry, the end of your bank builder round.
08:48You've got $600 and that gives you a one counter lead over Nicky and Philip.
08:52Nicely played.
08:53So Philip.
08:53Yes.
08:54You've got the final question.
08:55No need to buzz in.
08:56Okay.
08:56Do you need to give me an answer?
08:57All right.
08:58And you do need to answer within three seconds.
09:00Okay.
09:00All right.
09:00Here it is.
09:01The last question of the round.
09:03Established in 1878, which Central Market in the Melbourne CBD was named after a British
09:09monarch?
09:09Queen Victoria Market.
09:10Correct.
09:11Well done.
09:11All right.
09:15Well done, Philip.
09:16You've got the last one to put in.
09:17I'll try Job Zone 4.
09:18Let's light up Job Zone 4.
09:20All right.
09:20Good luck.
09:22This jacket needs to give me some good luck.
09:28A little ghost drop for you.
09:32Here we go.
09:33Come on.
09:34Come on.
09:37Come on.
09:45That one gets you the lead, Philip.
09:47Four in the last drop.
09:48$400 is coming your way.
09:50Nice.
09:51Let's take the $400 from the machine.
09:53Add it to the drive.
09:54It might be the jacket.
09:55It might be the jacket.
09:56You've got yourself $900, Dylan.
09:58And at the end of our bank builder round, Nicky's got $500.
10:02Philip's in the lead with $900.
10:03Paddy, you've got $600.
10:05And it's going to be a race to the finish in quickfire, which is coming up next on Tipping
10:09Point.
10:22Welcome back to Tipping Point.
10:23We've got Nicky, Philip and Paddy.
10:25They're battling it out for that chance to play for our jackpot.
10:27Of course, it's worth $20,000.
10:29So let's keep moving and play quickfire.
10:36So in quickfire, you each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
10:40Every correct answer, I give you a counter to play into the machine.
10:43Every counter becomes hugely important because the player with the lowest score at the end
10:48of this round is leaving the game.
10:50Now, Philip, you've got a three-counter lead over Paddy, four over Nicky.
10:53You can play first here if you would like to.
10:56I'm thinking I actually might pass it first.
11:00So now it comes down to tactics.
11:02I will have to pass to Nicky.
11:03Maybe I need to see the questions, maybe.
11:05I don't know.
11:06Yeah.
11:06Okay, well, you've made that decision.
11:08And Nicky, you've got the first shot at it.
11:10Yep.
11:11Here we go.
11:11I'll put 30 seconds on the clock for you.
11:14And your time starts now.
11:17Mustard, citrine and canary are shades of which primary colour?
11:19Yellow.
11:20Correct.
11:21Pont Alexandre-Trois is a bridge in Paris that spans which river?
11:25The Seine.
11:25Correct.
11:26In 2002, which city became the capital of the country of Timor-Leste?
11:31Pass.
11:31Dilly.
11:32By capacity, what is the biggest cricket stadium in Australia?
11:35MCG.
11:35Correct.
11:36Breakaway and Behind These Hazel Eyes are hit songs for which American pop star?
11:40Pass.
11:41Kelly Clarkson.
11:42Known for her stage act with a giant martini glass is which burlesque performer-born Heather
11:46Sweet?
11:47Pass.
11:48Dieter Von Teese.
11:50You've got three.
11:52Nicky, well done.
11:53Very, very solid.
11:54It gives you the chance to chase these guys down.
11:57So you're one behind Paddy and you're four behind Philip.
12:00Yeah, I think drop zone four, please.
12:03Light up four.
12:11Come on, come on, come on, come on.
12:12Light flat.
12:13Yeah, it's right flat.
12:14Between a gap.
12:15It does.
12:16Yeah.
12:17It's okay, it's okay.
12:18Now it's got to squeeze pretty hard into that gap to get something off the top, though.
12:22Yeah.
12:22Go, push, push, push, push, push.
12:24Yeah.
12:28Come on.
12:29Oh.
12:31It got something off that top gap but then filled another on the bottom shelf.
12:35So you've got two more opportunities.
12:36Would you like to go back there?
12:38Yeah.
12:38I'll drop zone four, please, Todd.
12:40Go back there again.
12:41Light it up.
12:46Come on.
12:48That'll do.
12:50Come on.
12:51Push, push.
13:00There's one just shimmering on the top, isn't it?
13:03How about you come off, says Nicky.
13:07Okay, that was a drop of three.
13:09$300 goes in but it still has you behind Philip by one.
13:15So you're in front of Paddy for the moment.
13:17You've got one more drop to go.
13:19What would you like to do?
13:22Drop zone three, please.
13:23Light it up.
13:24Persuaded by the audience, I would think.
13:34Can it get something off the top?
13:37It can.
13:38Down it comes.
13:39Good position.
13:43So another three, Nicky.
13:44Gives you a full total of 600 at the end of your quick fire.
13:48We'll take it from the machine, put it into your bank.
13:51And now, Philip and Paddy are chasing you.
13:53You have $1,100.
13:58So, Philip, back to you.
13:59Two behind Nicky.
14:00What would you like to do this time?
14:02I might play now.
14:03Yeah.
14:04See how we go.
14:05Good luck to you.
14:06I'll put 30 seconds on the clock for you.
14:08Your time starts now.
14:11Twihards is a nickname for fans of which fantasy book and film series?
14:14Twilight.
14:15Correct.
14:15Operating a luxury tourist service in Scotland, the Royal Scotsman is a train.
14:20Jane Campion won an Oscar for directing what?
14:22The Power of the Dog.
14:24Rhodes and Corfu are islands located in which South East European country?
14:27Pass.
14:28Greece.
14:28Australian TV presenter David Campbell is the son of which famous musician?
14:32Oh, pass.
14:32Jimmy Barnes.
14:33What city is the capital of the US state of Florida?
14:37Park.
14:38Tallahassee.
14:38Set in a prison and starring Adam Sandler, the longest yard is a comedy about what sport?
14:43No.
14:44American football.
14:47Aren't you Greek by background?
14:49Yes, I am, but I don't know.
14:50I haven't been there yet.
14:51Yeah, you haven't been there yet.
14:52So I don't know.
14:52I need to travel.
14:54Oh, no.
14:55So here's the deal.
14:55You got yourself one counter.
14:57Yes.
14:58You're two behind Nikki.
14:59If you got three, you would guarantee yourself into the next round.
15:02What are you going to do?
15:03I'm just going to go two.
15:05Drop zone two.
15:06Right up two.
15:07Let's see how it goes.
15:08I'm looking at the mystery prize.
15:10Let's see.
15:10Here we go.
15:11This is a huge moment for you, Philip.
15:14Give me that mystery.
15:16Let's go.
15:17Might be a trip to coffee.
15:21Let's go.
15:22Come on.
15:24No.
15:28It's all right.
15:29So it's a single counter.
15:31Oh, no.
15:33In another bump from a completely different zone.
15:37That was the one shimmering at you, Nikki.
15:38You're welcome.
15:39So this may be crucial because it's another hundred that I put into the machine.
15:43So it makes two hundred total.
15:45So when I transfer that, Philip, it means that you're tied with Nikki with one thousand one hundred.
15:49Oh, my God.
15:51There you go.
15:52So, Paddy, simple equation for you.
15:55Five to tie.
15:56Six, you're the man.
15:57If you can get enough counters to put into the machine.
16:00Let's see how we go.
16:01Thirty seconds goes on the clock for you, Paddy.
16:03Your time starts now.
16:06Stripes of Tiger is a mascot of which professional AFL football club?
16:09Richmond.

16:23Which large animal found across Asia has the scientific name Elephus maximus?
16:27Elephant.
16:28Correct.
16:28Which fast bowler became Australian test cricket captain in 2021?
16:34Pat Cummings.
16:35Correct.
16:35What primary colour?
16:37And you did well, Paddy.
16:40Three for you, Paddy.
16:41And I saw your mind going...
16:44It was like an F1 motor.
16:45You ought to see what was going on there.
16:46Yeah.
16:47You need five to tie.
16:49Six guarantees you a place.
16:51And then these two would have to go into a tie break.
16:53I'm going to go with a drop zone two.
16:55Thanks, Todd.
16:55Light it up.
17:04And it goes.
17:06Yeah.
17:08Well done.
17:09It's going to spread out.
17:11Yay.
17:12Thank you, Paddy.
17:14You got it.
17:14OK.
17:15Close the gap.
17:16That was two.
17:16So 200 goes in the machine, Paddy.
17:18We'll leave it there.
17:20And now you find yourself three behind.
17:23Two more to put into the machine.
17:25Light up drop zone three.
17:27Three this time.
17:36It's in a good posse, I think.
17:38Don't squeeze in that gap.
17:40Yeah.
17:40There you go.
17:41Got to spread again.
17:43Mark, mark, mark, mark, mark.
17:44Come.
17:44Yay.
17:45Yay.
17:47Paddy, good job.
17:49Well done.
17:50Good job.
17:51Awesome.
17:52Well done, Paddy.
17:53You got six over the tipping point that time.
17:55So another 600 goes in.
17:57Now you're in the lead.
17:58And now you've got a chance to expand with your final counter.
18:01Light up drop zone three, please, Todd.
18:02OK, three this.
18:10There she goes.
18:11Oh, it's going to get the double off this time, I would think.
18:15Yep.
18:15Come on, get out of here.
18:16There she goes.
18:17Come on.
18:18Be kind to an old man.
18:20Oh.
18:22Fill the gap.
18:23For the moment, though, you're in good shape, Paddy,
18:24as we transfer $800 from the machine.
18:27Add it to the 600 from the previous round.
18:30And you find yourself in the lead with $1,400.
18:34I've done.
18:36I've done.
18:36I've done.
18:38As Paddy waves to his fans in the audience,
18:41we get set for a quick-fire round tie break.
18:46Nicky and Philip with $1,100.
18:48It all comes down to this.
18:50If you buzz in with the correct answer first,
18:53you'll be going through to take on Paddy.
18:55If you get it wrong, your opponent goes through.
18:58Hands on buzzers.
19:00And here's your question.
19:02How many letter A's are in the spelling of the word Australia?
19:06Philip.
19:08Two.
19:09Philip is three.
19:11Oh, no.
19:12Oh, my gosh.
19:14This damn jacket, I don't know.
19:16It's not my best today.
19:17Let me just strip it off.
19:18Philip, I don't know what to say.
19:20Nicky, what would you like to say, dude?
19:23Yeah.
19:24Oh, all the best.
19:26Let's go.
19:28Come in, come in.
19:28Yeah, well done, mate.
19:30Really nice to meet you.
19:31You know what, Philip?
19:32It's time to get out of Melbourne and explore Australia.
19:35I think you're going to love it when you get to do it.
19:36Thanks for coming on the show.
19:38But what it means right now is that, unfortunately,
19:41we've found your tipping point.
19:42Oh, no.
19:44Thank God.
19:45And at the end of all of that, Nicky with $1,100 is about to take on Paddy with $1
19:51,400 for
19:52that chance to play for the $20,000 jackpot.
19:54So stick around.
19:55You're watching Tipping Point.
20:09Welcome back to Tipping Point.
20:10Nicky and Paddy are about to go head-to-head for the shot at the $20,000.
20:13Just three counters separating them at the moment.
20:16But before we do get to the head-to-head round, Nicky, you talked about wanting to go to Europe
20:20for your husband's 40th birthday, Take the Family, because you wanted to show them your
20:26heritage.
20:26What is the heritage?
20:27I lived in the UK for a couple of years.
20:30My great-grandfather's side's Norwegian.
20:32And I went there on a solo trip and met a stranger in a cafe.
20:37And she said, you sound far from home.
20:39And she helped me and drove me around to cemeteries, libraries and found more information.
20:43And found everything.
20:43How amazing.
20:44What a way to sort of fall on your feet and get that.
20:47How many kids have you got?
20:48I have two kids.
20:49Want to say hi to them at all?
20:50I do want to say hi to Grace and Maddy.
20:53I love you both very much.
20:54We love watching this show together every afternoon.
20:56Great.
20:56Well, they'll be happy that you got through this round.
20:58And you brought your brother with you today.
21:00Did bring my baby brother, Matthew.
21:02Yes.
21:02Hey, Matthew.
21:03She's going okay today, Matthew.
21:05She came back really well.
21:06I was worried there for a second.
21:08Hanging in there.
21:09A good older sister or not?
21:10Oh, she's great.
21:11She's the leader of the pack.
21:12There you go.
21:13Okay.
21:16Now, Paddy, when we talk about having family, you brought half the audience.
21:19Maybe just show us who you've got here today.
21:21Come on.
21:22I have my sister-in-law, Gail, and her partner, Gabe.
21:25My wife, Dawn.
21:26Put your hand up, darling.
21:27Yes, she is.
21:28My daughter-in-law, Michelle.
21:30My son, Matthew.
21:31And my very beautiful granddaughter, Alicia.
21:33Oh, lovely.
21:35Now, Paddy, you've spent a long time working in sports.
21:39Tell me about that.
21:40Yeah, I've spent nearly 39 years as a sports trainer.
21:44I had to give it away two years ago when I got cancer.
21:47Mm-hmm.
21:48I've worked in the EDFL for many, many years.
21:50I spent 19 years with the Sydney Swans.
21:53And up until two years ago, I spent nine years with the Moama Football Netball Club.
21:58Right.
21:58Yeah, so if you don't mind me asking, you brought up the fact that you've had cancer.
22:02How's that going?
22:03Yeah, I was operated on the 2nd of October last year.
22:07They took a fair few parts out down here.
22:10And about seven months ago, I was given all clear.
22:13Great.
22:16Fantational.
22:17Well, great to have you on the game.
22:20You've got the lead.
22:21Let's focus again, Paddy, as you go head-to-head with Nicky.
22:29All right, you two.
22:30In this round, you'll each be asked two questions.
22:32Answer correctly, you get the counter to play in the machine.
22:35If you get it wrong, your opponent steals that counter.
22:38If you are a little unsure, you can ask your opponent to play that question
22:41in the hope that they may not get it right and you'll get your counter back.
22:45So, Paddy, three-counter lead.
22:46It gives you the choice of playing first or not.
22:49I'd like to play first.
22:50Thanks, Todd.
22:52So, Paddy.
22:54Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, is a frequently repeated lyric
22:58in which classic Christmas carol?
23:01Pass or play?
23:03I'm going to pass.
23:04I think I might know, but I'm going to pass.
23:08Have you been humming to yourself at all, Nicky?
23:11Yeah, I sure have.
23:12How does it go?
23:13Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
23:17Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
23:19Yeah, I couldn't get the name.
23:21I could hum the song, but I couldn't get the name.
23:24Deck the halls.
23:25Is it deck the halls?
23:28Yes, it is.
23:32And Nicky, there's a voice in there too.
23:35You've just sung to the nation.
23:36Oh, my God.
23:38You've been in entertainment.
23:39You dance a little bit too, don't you?
23:41Yeah.
23:41When I was little, I did do that quite a bit, sang on TV.
23:45Oh, well, we might have to get a little bit of that again later on.
23:47I'll get...
23:49All right, here's your chance.
23:50You are three behind.
23:51You've got a steal off, Paddy.
23:53Where do you like to go?
23:55Drop scene four, please, Todd.
23:56Light it up.
24:03Yeah.
24:03Good drop.
24:05Hopefully.
24:05Good drop.
24:06That comes off the top.
24:07You've got the pile in front of you.
24:08Oh, very good.
24:10Yeah, it's yours.
24:12Oh, yes!
24:17The lead has changed.
24:19Five over the tipping point.
24:20$500 coming your way, Nicky.
24:22We'll take it out.
24:23Put it in your bank.
24:24You've got $1,600.
24:26Two-counter lead over Paddy now.
24:29The next question is yours as well.
24:33Situated in Paris,
24:34La Puce is a giant sculpture of what body part?
24:38Pass or play?
24:40I'll pass, Todd.
24:42Thanks.
24:44I was trying to translate it, but...
24:48I don't speak French.
24:49How are you with your French, Paddy?
24:50Fine on me.
24:52It's about as much as I've got.
24:55Situated in Paris,
24:56La Puce is a giant sculpture of what body part?
25:00Keep it clean, Paddy.
25:01You read my mind, Todd.
25:03Look, all I can say is head.
25:06Yep.
25:08We'll find out if La Puce is a giant head.
25:14It's a thumb.
25:15Thumb.
25:16Who would know?
25:18La tĂŞte would be the head.
25:21Someone told me.
25:22Don't speak French.
25:25Righto, Nicky.
25:26You've got your counter.
25:27Well played.
25:28You've got a two-counter lead.
25:29Where to go now?
25:30Three, Todd.
25:31Light it up.
25:41It's another good spot.
25:42There's more right in front of that.
25:44If it comes down, yeah.
25:46There it goes.
25:49Oh!
25:50Oh, gee.
25:51Did a little bit of surfing in and underneath,
25:53so nothing off that drop,
25:55but Nicky's taking the lead.
25:56Can she hang on to it,
25:57or will Paddy come back?
25:58We'll find out which one of these two
25:59is going to play for the jackpot worth $20,000
26:01next on Tipping Point.
26:03Oh!
26:06Oh!
26:11Oh!
26:12Oh!
26:14Oh!
26:15Oh!
26:16Oh!
26:16Oh!
26:16Oh!
26:17Oh!
26:19Oh!
26:22Oh!
26:42Any idea, Nicky?
26:46Dwayne The Rock Johnson?
26:48Not a bad stab.
26:50Is it Dwayne The Rock Johnson,
26:52who is known as the doctor of thuganomics?
26:56No.
26:57Right.
26:58John Cena, it was.
27:00Wouldn't have known.
27:01Wouldn't have known.
27:02No.
27:02Well, it's lucky you passed and you got it back.
27:04So, Paddy, here's your opportunity.
27:05You need two to tie.
27:06Three gets you the lead.
27:08And or more.
27:09I'm going to go drop zone one.
27:11One it is.
27:15If you get the double,
27:16that could be a big game changer.
27:19Get down.
27:20That's the one.
27:21Come on.
27:24Come on.
27:25There you go, Paddy.
27:26There you go.
27:27Bring it over.
27:27Go on.
27:28Bring it over.
27:32Hang on, Todd.
27:32There might be more.
27:33With you, you never know.
27:35There is one particularly on that far left corner
27:38with a bit of a bump.
27:39This is the last push, though.
27:41Oh!
27:42It almost.
27:43That's out of play.
27:44So, Paddy, two counters.
27:46$200 goes in the machine.
27:48Let's take it out.
27:49Put it into your bank.
27:50And we're back at another tie.
27:55So, Nicky, the final question for you.
27:59This counter, whoever gets it,
28:01it could be the difference.
28:02Oh!
28:03That was an ambient drop.
28:04That one in the corner finally fell.
28:07I knew it was coming.
28:08Yeah.
28:09We're going to take that one out of play.
28:11So, Nicky, final question.
28:14Able to reach speeds of 72 kilometres an hour,
28:17what bird is the world's fastest running two-legged animal?
28:22Pass or play?
28:24Um, I'll play.
28:28Mmm.
28:29Ostrich?
28:31I think that's right, Paddy.
28:32Yeah.
28:33Paddy seems more self-assured than you.
28:37Can they be Ostrich or Amy, but I think it's Ostrich.
28:39Yeah, I think so, too.
28:41Did Nicky pick the right one.
28:43Is it Ostrich?
28:45Ostrich.
28:46Short end.
28:49Well done.
28:50Paddy.
28:52Well, you've got the chance,
28:53if you can get one single counter over the tipping point,
28:56you go through the jackpot round, Nicky.
28:58Drop sign one, please.
29:00One it is.
29:00Light it up.
29:09It's going to go down the left wall,
29:10and there's a gap at the front
29:12from the one that came off, Paddy.
29:14Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
29:16Push, push, push, push, push.
29:22Only one was needed,
29:23and you've got some safety,
29:25with four coming over the tipping point, Nicky.
29:27So 400 goes into the machine.
29:29We'll take it from there,
29:30and at the end of the round,
29:32you find yourself with $2,000.
29:36And, of course, at the end of our head-to-head,
29:39that gives you a four-counter lead over Paddy.
29:41Paddy, with 1,600, you played great,
29:44but unfortunately, we found your tipping point.
29:47Poose!
29:50Thanks very much, Todd.
29:51I hope you keep getting that clean bill of health.
29:53Thanks for being with us, Paddy.
29:54Thanks very much for having me.
29:56You're welcome, Paddy.
29:56Good luck.
29:57Good luck.
29:58I've given a lot of money.
30:00I've given a lot of money.
30:01But, Nicky, this is what you're playing for now,
30:04the jackpot counter.
30:05It's worth $20,000,
30:06and you've got the chance to master our machine
30:10and take home those big bucks.
30:11Will you do it?
30:12We'll find out after the break.
30:26Welcome back to tipping point.
30:27Nicky's our winner today.
30:29$2,000 sitting in the bank.
30:30So, plenty more to make today, Nicky.
30:33Before we do that, though,
30:34we were talking about travelling and going to Norway.
30:37You mentioned you lived in the UK.
30:38Where'd you live when you were in the UK?
30:40Wimbledon.
30:40Did you?
30:41I sure did.
30:42Yeah.
30:42Oh, my favourite place in the world.
30:45I did come in 2006 to the tournament.
30:48I'd retired the year before.
30:50Sorry I missed you.
30:51Yeah.
30:51Good to see you today, though.
30:52You're here today.
30:53Now, we did hear you put a lovely tune together there
30:56in that previous round.
30:57You used to do a bit of sort of entertainment.
30:59What did you do?
31:00I did a lot of tap dancing and singing when I was younger.
31:03Yeah.
31:04And I did...
31:04My mum put me on a talent show when I was six called Have A Go.
31:08Have A Go.
31:09How'd you go?
31:09Second.
31:10Oh, that's really good.
31:12I think I got $100 and a couple of videos.
31:14VCR videos.
31:16Well, um...
31:17So, hoping to do better today.
31:18Yeah.
31:18Well, there.
31:19Here's your chance.
31:19Come on.
31:20Oh, no.
31:21I'm not tap dancing.
31:21No, you're not.
31:22Wrong shoes.
31:23Wrong shoes.
31:24Oh, no.
31:24She's gone shy on us.
31:26I sang for you earlier.
31:27You did.
31:27What were you going to say?
31:28She might be tap dancing after.
31:30Yeah.
31:30You think we've got that chance today?
31:32I think she does, definitely.
31:33Well, let's see if we can make you tap dance a little later in celebration of winning the
31:38jackpot.
31:39To do it, we need to play the jackpot round.
31:46Time to drop the jackpot counter into the machine.
31:48Push it back out and there's $20,000 to be celebrating with.
31:52What drop zone would you like to play?
31:55I like drop zone four.
31:56It's been pretty good to me today.
31:57Yep, light it up then.
31:59Drop zone four.
32:03Yeah.
32:09Okay.
32:10It's a good spot, but we've got to get it flat.
32:13Go down gently.
32:14Oh, I came down softly.
32:16That's great.
32:18So now, every counter that comes over, worth $100,000, no matter when.
32:24Okay.
32:24So we can start building the bank right here.
32:26Oh, yeah.
32:29That's good.
32:30That's one airplane ticket.
32:32One airplane ticket.
32:33We're working on more.
32:34Seven over the tipping point.
32:36One and a half.
32:37It's $2,700 sitting in the machine.
32:40Nicely done.
32:41So good.
32:42Well, let's look at the five categories that you're going to be playing so we can get more
32:45counters into the machine.
32:47You've got history, sport, film, literature, and toys.
32:51You can choose one, two, or three.
32:53The more you choose, the harder it's going to be.
32:55Yeah.
32:55What would you like to do?
32:56And for how many?
32:57I'll just go top to bottom today.
33:00And history for three, please.
33:02Great.
33:06Good luck, Nicky.
33:07So we can get off to a hot start here.
33:09In England, what was banned from being celebrated between 1647 and 1660?
33:16Was it birthdays, Christmas, or weddings?
33:21I've absolutely no idea.
33:23Okay.
33:23I wasn't around then.
33:24No.
33:26But these are the things.
33:28In this round, you've got time to work through the question, and you can sort of start to
33:32filter.
33:33I can't imagine it's birthdays, and how would they?
33:37Oh, I don't know.
33:38I really, I will guess, I think I'll take birthdays out.
33:44I think it's either Christmas or weddings, and I will guess weddings for no reason at all.
33:51Okay.
33:52Other than that nobody liked each other and didn't want to celebrate anything, we'll light
33:57up weddings and find out if that was banned from being celebrated between 1647 and 1660
34:04in England.
34:08It was Christmas.
34:10All came down to religion.
34:11So, not the hot start that we were after.
34:14That's unfortunate.
34:15Never mind.
34:15We've still got time as we head on down the categories list.
34:19Next is sport.
34:20Three, please.
34:21Yep.
34:25All right, Nikki.
34:27What name is commonly given to the trophy awarded to the winner of the British Open
34:31golfing major?
34:33A little nod there.
34:34Is it the port cup, the claret jug, or the sherry schooner?
34:40Wasn't it not?
34:40It was more, my husband would know this.
34:43Oh.
34:44I, I, I don't even know what it looks like.
34:47So, I'll go port cup.
34:51Light it up.
34:52Does the winner of the British Open hold up the port cup?
34:59It's the claret jug.
35:01Okay.
35:01Yeah.
35:02It's a beautiful trophy, about that big, but literally it's a claret jug.
35:06Okay.
35:06Yeah.
35:07All right.
35:08Never mind.
35:09But from here on in, we need them all.
35:14Yes.
35:15Film is next.
35:16So, film for three, please.
35:18Okay.
35:18Come on, Cher, Nikki.
35:21Here we go.
35:22A classic quote from the film Gone with the Wind is,
35:26As God is my witness, I'll never what?
35:31Sing again, be hungry again, or fall in love again?
35:36I'm pretty sure that this is fall in love again.
35:40Light up, fall in love again.
35:41It's light up, fall in love again.
35:43Have we got something to play with here?
35:45Yes.
35:45Is the quote, As God is my witness, I'll never fall in love again.
35:51Oh, my God.
35:54It's be hungry again.
35:56I thought the love made more sense, by the way.
35:59It does make more sense.
35:59It's more romantic, at least.
36:02All right.
36:03Bit of a struggle street.
36:04No good today.
36:04If we can get two more, though, let's create some positivity here on the set.
36:09If we can do that, you've still got six counters.
36:12Where it sits, they like to go left and right into the corners.
36:14If we can get a couple on that left, get it down, then we can negotiate a little bit.
36:19Yeah.
36:20So, positive mindset.
36:21Yep.
36:21Do all those things that those gurus say.
36:24And we've got literature.
36:26Four?
36:26I have to be three.
36:27Okay.
36:30Here we go.
36:33Now, literature question.
36:35Created by author Hugh Lofting, which fictional character is known for his ability to speak
36:41with animals?
36:44Is it Dr. Doolittle, Tarzan, or the cat in the hat?
36:48Well, this one I do know.
36:50So, Dr. Doolittle, light up Dr. Doolittle, please.
36:52I'm going to light up Dr. Doolittle.
36:56I'm going to light up Dr. Doolittle.
36:57Normally, the audience is not allowed to do that, by the way.
37:00And so, we're going to make you and them wait to find out if that light goes green after
37:05the break.
37:17Okay, welcome back to Tipping Point.
37:18Nicky's got $2,700.
37:20We haven't been able to move anything because we haven't had anything to play, Nicky.
37:24But, I think we'll get there this time.
37:26At least our audience thought that just before we went to the break.
37:29The question was, created by author Hugh Lofting, which fictional character is known for his
37:34ability to speak with animals, you said, light up Dr. Doolittle.
37:38Are we going green and getting some counters?
37:41Yes, we are.
37:44Here we go.
37:47Now you can relax.
37:48You just said to me in the break, I'm all clammy and hot.
37:51That's because we haven't got anything yet.
37:53Now you can relax.
37:54Yes.
37:54What we do need is a couple on the left.
37:56And if we can get it on the lower shelf, then we're in good shape.
37:59So, we need to try to make it happen.
38:01We're going to light up job zone four.
38:12It's just going to hold it in there.
38:15Not quite get to...
38:17Ooh.
38:18It might give a little bit of a nudge.
38:20It'll spin it a bit.
38:22Come on.
38:23Push it, push it.
38:24No, it's just gone around it.
38:26A couple more counters.
38:27It's that little bit bigger and a little bit heavier.
38:30We've got a hundred bucks.
38:32Let's put that into the bank.
38:332,800 is in your bank as we get ready to light it up for the second counter.
38:39Drop zone four, please.
38:46Left, left, left.
38:48Come on.
38:49Come on.
38:50The other left.
38:52Not that corner.
38:54Not that corner.
38:57Yeah.
38:58Down it comes.
38:59Come on.
39:00A little bit more money.
39:01A couple more counters.
39:02Four.
39:04Okay.
39:04We need this one to go the other way.
39:06Yes.
39:07Okay.
39:07Light it up.
39:07Think left.
39:08Our left.
39:09Our left.
39:09The machine's right.
39:16Opposite day.
39:17Yeah.
39:18Came out too quick.
39:20Hit hard.
39:20Spins right.
39:21But that gets some money, I think.
39:30Four more came over the tipping point.
39:32So that gives you $3,200.
39:34Very good.
39:35And we're going to desperately need these last three to come our way.
39:38Yes.
39:39As we get to toys.
39:41It has to be for three, Todd.
39:43Absolutely.
39:46Toys for three.
39:48Launched by Kelly Toys in 2017 was what soft toy brand sold in over 1,000 round designs?
39:57Is it Squish Mallows, Squeeze Rolls or Sponge Muffins?
40:04Maddie, my five-year-old, would know this because she has many.
40:09Did you buy them for her?
40:10Of course.
40:11And everybody buys them.
40:12Yeah.
40:14Not me.
40:16My nieces and nephews have collections of them as well.
40:19So I'm feeling good.
40:20I'm feeling good about this, Todd.
40:22Please light up Squish Mallows.
40:24Okay, light it up.
40:26We need these three desperately.
40:28Come on now.
40:29You're confident.
40:30Squish Mallows?
40:32Yep.
40:33Okay.
40:36Okay.
40:38Started slow, finished strong.
40:40Stephen Bradbury again.
40:41Yeah.
40:42So if we could get three on the left, it would be the beginning of a Bradbury.
40:46Light her up.
40:48Come on now.
40:56Slip left.
40:57Slip left.
40:59There it goes.
41:01Come on.
41:03Come on.
41:04Go on now.
41:04Two to go.
41:06Two to go.
41:08Light her up.
41:08Light her up.
41:10Light her up.
41:16Sticking in that same bit.
41:19They do not want to go all the way through.
41:22They do not want to go all the way through.
41:23Come on.
41:24Clean up a little.
41:25Yeah.
41:27Two more coming away.
41:29200 goes up.
41:303,400.
41:32Come on.
41:33Just give us one to the left.
41:34Last chance.
41:35Light her up.
41:46Six in.
41:47Not one went to that left-hand corner.
41:49Unfortunately.
41:50So the mystery comes on down.
41:51And it should clean up a little bit there.
41:53Give you some more money.
41:59And to finish it off, another four over the tipping point.
42:02To give you a grand total at the end of your jackpot round of 3,800.
42:13Might be a tough one for me to sell, but I'm going to try.
42:17We're going to play Jackpot Temptation.
42:23Now, 3,800 you could go home with today.
42:27That's your money.
42:28It's in your pocket.
42:29Signed and delivered.
42:31But we only got six to go in.
42:33None went to the left.
42:34So statistically, they're all going to go that way now.
42:39Interesting logic.
42:40Yeah.
42:42And so I'm going to give you five counters worth $40,000 plus a trip to Singapore.
42:48For two people, valued at around $5,000, thanks to the experts at my holiday.
42:54While you think about it, we're going to go to the newsroom.
42:57Okay.
42:58Nikki, before we went to the newsroom, I offered you five counters for $40,000 and a trip to
43:03Singapore.
43:04Halfway of getting the family to Europe, you could stop along the way.
43:07$40,000 would get the whole thing paid for in style.
43:11But it's a bit of a risk.
43:13You'd lose that $3,800.
43:16What do we think?
43:17What do you reckon?
43:19Yeah.
43:20Got to play.
43:22Come on.
43:23That's way too much of a gamble.
43:25Is it?
43:25I have to take that money.
43:27I knew you were going to be a hard one to crack today.
43:29Make it 20 coins.
43:3020 counters.
43:31Yeah.
43:33The cupboard is bare.
43:35Congratulations.
43:35$3,800 is yours.
43:37Well done.
43:42I threw everything at her.
43:44Thanks for playing.
43:45It's been great having you on the show.
43:46Thank you to our audience and thank you at home.
43:48And join us next time when three new contestants push their luck to the very edge on Tipping
43:53point.
43:59Thanks for tuning in.
44:02We'll see you next time.
44:04We'll see you next time.
44:05All right.
44:06We'll see you next time.
