00:09Welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat, $1 million is up for grabs, let's meet the six hopefuls
00:15who could win it. First up, Evan D'Assett is a web developer with a side-splitting proposal
00:19story. Spencer Morgan loves doing brain puzzles and has always dreamed of being on a game
00:24show. Flora Woods has had one of her recipes published in a Nigella Lawson cookbook. Avid
00:30walker Stefan Zolin is fostering two cats with his neighbours. Callan Jones is an occupational
00:35therapist who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. And Theo Ignatiatis is a tradie who was bitten
00:41by an eel at an engagement party. Oww! That's our sink. Shall we play Millionaire Hot Seat?
00:48I think we should.
00:56Hey, Evan, welcome. Thank you. Now, you love your travel. I do. Where does that come
01:01from? I did a couple of stints when I was a kid in Malaysia. Kind of unlocked a travel bug.
01:06And it was while you were backpacking in Italy, you decided to propose to your girlfriend.
01:10So we were travelling Asia and Europe for about a year and had organised a winery tour in Tuscany.
01:18Getting better. Yep. And so had spoken to one of the staff members about doing a video for
01:23us under the guise of it being a photo. And she's videoing. And as I kneel down to propose,
01:29my pants split. And so I have that immortalised on video now.
01:34On video! Oh!
01:38Okay, Evan, the rules are always the same. There are 15 questions standing between you
01:43and the top prize of $1 million. An incorrect answer means you're out of the game and the
01:47top prize drops a level. After five correct answers, $1,000 will be banked. You all have
01:52one lifeline. It's called The Pass. Make sure you use it wisely. Let's play Millionaire Hot
01:58Seat.
02:02Your first question is for $100. You have 15 seconds to answer. Good luck.
02:08A hit song by Katy Perry is named for which animal sound? A. Woof. B. Oink. C. Roar. D. Hiss.
02:18I'm not a huge Katy Perry fan, but I'm pretty sure this is raw, so lock in C, please.
02:24Lock in C. Hear me roar. C is correct.
02:32Here's your $200 question.
02:35Persian, Siamese and Ragdoll are all breeds of which animal? A. Dog. B. Bird. C. Cat. D. Guinea pig.
02:45Well, my fiancée, Caitlin, loves cats, so she would kill me if I didn't get this right, so I'm going
02:51to lock in C. Cat.
02:52Lock in C. Cat is correct for $200.
02:59Here's your $300 question.
03:02Which pantry staples were immortalised by Andy Warhol in his first solo art exhibition in 1962?
03:10A. Teabags. B. Biscuit tins. C. Soup cans. D. Pop tarts.
03:16Art's not my strong point, but I'm pretty sure this is soup cans, so lock in C.
03:23Lock in C. Soup cans. Soup cans is correct.
03:30Warhol's first solo exhibition opened at the Ferris Gallery in Los Angeles, California, on July 9th, 1962.
03:36Here's your question for $500.
03:40Since 1908, which Grand Slam tennis tournament has been played exclusively on clay?
03:46A. Wimbledon. B. French Open. C. Australian Open. D. US Open.
03:53I've watched the Australian Open a few times, so I know that it's not that.
03:59And I haven't really watched the other ones, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen the French Open on clay,
04:02so I'm going to lock in B, please.
04:04Lock in B, French Open. B is correct.
04:11Positively flying through these questions, your next question is for a banked $1,000.
04:17Princess Aurora is the central character of which Disney fairytale adaption?
04:23A. Tangled. B. The Little Mermaid. C. Sleeping Beauty. D. Beauty and the Beast.
04:29I can't say that I've watched a Disney movie with a princess in it lately, and I'm actually not sure
04:35of this one, so I'm going to pass.
04:35Use your pass.
04:37Good choice. Take a seat. See you next time now.
04:43Hey, Spencer, welcome to the hot seat.
04:46Do you know your Disney fairytales?
04:49Not really, but some.
04:52Okay. Let's see if you can get this one right because your pass is blocked. You have to get it
04:55right to stay in the game.
04:57Princess Aurora is the central character of which Disney fairytale adaption?
05:03I never really grew up watching princess movies. However, my best mate's always raving on about them, and I feel
05:08like it's going to be B, The Little Mermaid. It's lock in B.
05:11Lock in B, The Little Mermaid.
05:13Yeah.
05:15You sure about this?
05:16Not sure, but give it a go.
05:18Okay, Spencer.
05:20It's actually C, Sleeping Beauty.
05:23Yeah, I'm sorry, my friend.
05:25No, it's all right.
05:25Love me to meet you, though.
05:26Lovely to meet you, too.
05:26Hope you had a little bit of fun.
05:27Yeah, absolutely.
05:36Flora.
05:37Hello.
05:37How are you going?
05:38I'm good, thanks.
05:39Tell us about how you got to know Nigella.
05:42Back in the 90s, I was the cookbook buyer for Harrods, and I happened to sell a lot of copies
05:47of it, and she took me out to dinner because she wanted to introduce me to this young chef that
05:52had just signed their first book contract, and his name was Jamie Oliver.
05:56Wow!
05:57So, hang on, how did your recipe end up in her cookbook?
05:59I do a lot of baking, and I said, I've got a recipe that you might like.
06:02A few months later, she called me up and said, your recipe's in the book, so if you Google Flora's
06:07famous courgette cake, it'll be right there for you.
06:09Oh, I'm going to.
06:10Well done, you.
06:12Well, Flora.
06:14It's my queen to fame.
06:15Welcome to the hot seat.
06:16She's ten questions away from a quarter of a million dollars.
06:19You're about to play for a banked 1,000.
06:21Okay.
06:22We'll get to your question right after this break.
06:34Welcome back to hot seat.
06:35I'm here with Flora.
06:36She's ten questions away from a quarter of a million dollars.
06:38You're playing for a banked 1,000.
06:39Good luck.
06:42Every year, over 100,000 Americans call a toll-free hotline operated by food company Butterball for help cooking what?
06:59I'm pretty sure that during Thanksgiving Americans eat turkey, which is a butterball.
07:07So lock in A turkey, please.
07:09Lock in A turkey with two seconds to go.
07:12Turkey is correct.
07:18Actually called the turkey talk line was set up in 1981.
07:21It was also featured on the West Wing.
07:25Okay.
07:25Nine questions from $250,000.
07:28You're now playing for $1,500.
07:29Here's your question.
07:32Which major city is located on the Bosphorus Strait?
07:43Geography is something that I like to study and I believe that Istanbul is on the Bosphorus Strait.
07:49So lock in B, Istanbul, please.
07:51Lock in B, Istanbul.
07:53You're all said with absolute certainty.
07:57I know.
07:59Oh, you're not so sure.
08:01I don't know.
08:02Well, no, I'm pretty sure.
08:04You don't know?
08:05You do know.
08:06Pretty sure.
08:06You don't know?
08:06You do know.
08:07You do know.
08:08B is correct.
08:15Getting closer.
08:17$2,500 question coming right up.

08:29A, Heidi Klum.
08:31B, Tara Banks.
08:32C, Chrissy Teigen.
08:34D, Cindy Crawford.
08:36It's always on those sort of social media pages and it's a very famous party.
08:42So I am going to lock in A, Heidi Klum, please.
08:46Lock in A, Heidi Klum.
08:48She does wear some incredible outfits, doesn't she?
08:50Yeah.
08:50Yeah.
08:51A is correct.
08:57Flora.
08:58Seven away from $250,000.
09:01Your friend Claire's here.
09:02In fact, I think you might have a few people in the audience.
09:04I do, yeah.
09:05Are there a few people in the audience here for Flora?
09:07Yep.
09:07Oh, ooh.
09:09Bit of a fan club.
09:10Put your hand up.
09:10Give her a bit of a clap.
09:12Okay, so Claire, I believe Flora likes to take over your kitchen.
09:16Oh, completely.
09:17With the famous Flora courgette cake.
09:20Did she use your microwave?
09:22No, she certainly didn't.
09:24It's not a microwave recipe.
09:27So she's obviously a good cook.
09:28How is she with general knowledge?
09:29She's doing pretty well so far.
09:31Quite impressive, I would say.
09:32Think she can go all the way to $250,000?
09:34100%.
09:35Okay.
09:35Let's give it a crack.
09:36Seven questions from $250,000.
09:38Best of luck.
09:41The Empire State Building and Radio City Music Hall
09:44are prominent examples of what style of architecture?
09:48A. Edwardian.
09:49B. Federation.
09:50C. Georgian Revival.
09:52D. Art Deco.
09:54Ooh.
09:55That's a tough question.
09:58And I'm going to use my pass.
10:00I'm going to use your pass.
10:01Yep.
10:01Fair enough.
10:02That's what it's called, Flora.
10:03Take a seat.
10:03You're still in the game.
10:04See you soon.
10:10Hello, Stefan.
10:11Hello, Rebecca.
10:12Been to New York?
10:13Yes, I have.
10:14Been to the Empire State Building?
10:15Yes.
10:16Radio City Music Hall?
10:17Yes.
10:17Reckon you know what sort of architecture they are?
10:19No idea.
10:21You do have to answer this question correctly to stay in the game.
10:24The Empire State Building and the Radio City Music Hall
10:27are prominent examples of what style of architecture?
10:32I'm trying to picture these two buildings in my mind.
10:37The Radio City Music Hall is giving me nothing.
10:41The Empire State Building is saying to me, go for Art Deco.
10:48So with no knowledge whatsoever, I'm going to lock in D, Art Deco.
10:53Lock in D, Art Deco.
10:55Educated guess.
10:56Yes.
10:57It is D, Art Deco.
11:05Okay, Stefan, you are six questions away from $250,000.
11:11You're now playing for $6,000.
11:12Good luck.
11:13Here's your question.
11:15The 2025 movie F1 credits which Formula One driver as a producer?
11:21A, George Russell.
11:23B, Oscar Piastri.
11:25C, Lewis Hamilton.
11:26D, Daniel Ricciardo.
11:30Have you seen the movie?
11:32I've not seen the movie, Rebecca.
11:35I am aware of Formula One.
11:41And I've heard of three of those people.
11:47But I don't know the answer.
11:49And I don't know enough about Formula One to answer, so I'm going to pass.
11:52You should pass.
11:52Yes, absolutely take a seat, Stefan.
11:55See you on the next time around.
12:00Hi, Callan.
12:01Hello.
12:01Welcome to the hot seat.
12:03Thank you so much.
12:03You're from South Africa?
12:04Yes.
12:05How long have you been here?
12:06Just under three years.
12:08Just under three years.
12:09Know much about F1?
12:10Do you know a little bit about F1?
12:12Seen this movie?
12:12Have not seen this movie.
12:14You do need to answer this question correctly to stay in the game.
12:17The 2025 movie F1 credits which Formula One driver as a producer?
12:22So, it's going to be an educated guest, but I think I remember seeing some promo videos of Brad Pitt,
12:32who's in the movie, with Lewis Hamilton.
12:34So, I'm going to lock in C, Lewis Hamilton.
12:36Lock in C, Lewis Hamilton.
12:40Callan, the 2025 movie F1 credits Lewis Hamilton as a producer.
12:47Correct.
12:52Take a deep breath for $250,000 still in play.
12:56Five questions remaining.
12:58Five players remaining.
12:59We will get to your next question for $10,000, Callan, right after this break.
13:04Don't go away.
13:12Welcome back to Millionaire Hot seat.
13:14We've got a cracking game on our hands.
13:15Callan, five questions from $250,000.
13:17You're now playing for $10,000.
13:19Here's your question.
13:20Good luck.
13:22What is the name of the NASA probe that was the first human-made object to enter interstellar space?
13:30A, New Horizons.
13:31B, Voyager 1.
13:33C, Pioneer 10.
13:34D, Cassini.
13:37Oh, I have heard of two of those.
13:44I've definitely heard of Cassini and Voyager 1, but I'm not entirely sure, so I think I'm going to give
13:49it a pass.
13:51You should pass.
13:52Yep.
13:52Take a seat.
13:53See you on the next time round.
14:00Theo.
14:01Beck, lovely to meet you.
14:02Lovely to meet you too.
14:03Welcome to the hot seat.
14:05Your pass is blocked.
14:05You have to answer this correctly to stay in the game, my friend.
14:08What is the name of the NASA probe that was the first human-made object to enter interstellar space?
14:16Now, the one that's jumping out a bit there is Voyager 1, so I'll make it an educated guess and
14:23I'll lock in B, Voyager 1.
14:25Lock in B, Voyager 1.
14:27Why was it jumping out at you?
14:28Oh, it just rings a bell for some reason, yeah.
14:31Somewhere in the back of your head?
14:32Somewhere in the back of the head.
14:33Somewhere in the back of your head?
14:34Yep.
14:35Needed to bring it to the front of your head?
14:36Yes.
14:37Well, you did.
14:39Because B's correct.
14:40Awesome.
14:46Just as well you got that right, Theo, because I want to hear this story about the engagement party that
14:51you went to when you got bitten by an eel.
14:53Oh, my God.
14:54Just talk me through it.
14:55Okay, so I was a plus one at an engagement party many years ago and it was held at the
14:59Melbourne Aquarium.
15:01Ah.
15:02And there's a nice tank there with a freshwater display and unbeknownst to me, my tie's dangling sort of just
15:08above the surface of the water.
15:10And before I'd known it, I've seen this eel lunging out and my instinct was to back off, basically, but
15:16it's grabbed the end of my tie.
15:17So as I've pulled back, I've pulled it half out of the water and it's thrashing around on the end
15:21of my tie for a couple of seconds until it decided that this is ineditable and let go and fell
15:25back into its tank.
15:26Oh, at least it bit your tie and nothing else.
15:28Certainly not.
15:30Okay, Theo, well, you are four questions away from a quarter of a million dollars.
15:34You're now playing for $20,000.
15:36Best of luck.
15:39Who composed the music and lyrics for the epic Broadway flop, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark?
15:46A, Elton John and Tim Rice.
15:48B, Bjorn Ulvaeus.
15:51C, Bono and The Edge.
15:53D, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
15:56Wow.
15:58Just a little bit of that, nothing's jumping out at me, really.
16:02Um, I know Bjorn has had a hand in a lot of, um, Broadway stuff, uh, as has Andrew Lloyd
16:12Webber.
16:13Um, Bono and The Edge, I don't, it doesn't ring a bell.
16:18Um, and just looking at what's left, I probably won't get back around, so I might take a stab at
16:25it and I'll, um, I'll lock him be Bjorn Ulvaeus.
16:29Ulvaeus.
16:31Locking be Bjorn Ulvaeus.
16:34Never heard of Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark?
16:37No.
16:38It's claimed it's lost $60 million.
16:41Does not ring a bell.
16:42It was Bono and The Edge.
16:44It was sick.
16:46Thanks, Ben.
16:46Thanks so much for playing.
16:47Lovely to meet you.
16:54Evan, welcome back.
16:56Three questions away from $100,000.
16:58Do you reckon you can make it to $100,000?
17:01Yeah, I reckon, yeah.
17:02Do you?
17:02Yeah.
17:03Shall we wait and find out after the break?
17:05I think we should.
17:15Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
17:16I'm here with Evan.
17:17He is three questions away from a massive $100,000.
17:21Are you ready to play, Evan?
17:22I'm ready.
17:23Here's your question for $20,000.
17:24You have 45 seconds.
17:40I don't know a whole lot about monarchies, unfortunately.
17:43This is definitely a weak point of mine, I think.
17:49Been to any of those places?
17:51I've been to Japan and Thailand.
17:54For some reason, I don't think it's Japan.
17:57I have no actual knowledge around this.
18:00I don't think it's Japan.
18:03I'm not actually sure if Monaco has a big enough monarchy
18:08to have a name for it.
18:12I'm going to lock in Sweden, please.
18:17B.
18:18Lock in B, Sweden.
18:20Evan, it was A, Japan.
18:24Thank you so much for playing.

18:27Pleasure to meet you.
18:34Flora.
18:35Hello.
18:36Welcome back.
18:37Our courgette cook.
18:40How are you feeling?
18:41Yeah, it's getting up there, isn't it?
18:43It is getting up there.
18:44What would you do with $50,000?
18:46Um, well, one, it would be nice to have that financial freedom,
18:51but I've always wanted to hike to Everest Base Camp.
18:54Really?
18:54Might go toward that or, I don't know, treat my cats to a new cat tree.
18:58Who knows?
18:59Who knows?
19:00You just want me to get to the question, don't you?
19:02No, you carry on.
19:03It's nice to chat.
19:05I better not.
19:06The man upstairs is telling me to get to the question.
19:08Flora, you are two questions away from $50,000.
19:11You're now paying for $20,000.
19:13Best of luck.

19:23A. Kim Novak.
19:24B. Grace Kelly.
19:26C. Tippi Hedren.
19:27D. Janet Leigh.
19:31I'm a bit of an Alfred Hitchcock fan.
19:34Are you?
19:35I am.
19:36Um, and I know that Dakota Johnson is the daughter of Melanie Griffith.
19:41And Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame.
19:44And I know that Melanie Griffith's, um, mother is Tippi Hedren.
19:48So I'm going to lock in C, please.
19:50Lock in C.
19:51Tippi Hedren.
19:53It is indeed C.
19:54Tippi Hedren.
19:57Oh!
20:01Wow!
20:03Ha, ha, ha, ha!
20:05Flora!
20:05I've got my cheer squad.
20:06Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Stefan and Callan.
20:09Thank you for playing.
20:09You've been great contestants.
20:11Flora!
20:12Okay.
20:13Studio's gone gold.
20:14You know what that means.
20:15Last question.
20:16It is the last question.
20:17How's she going to go, guys?
20:24You have got this.
20:26Here we go.
20:26Flora.
20:27Yes.
20:28Here is your final question for $50,000.
20:32Okay.
20:35The famous London bell, known as Big Ben, is in a tower with what name?
20:42A, Victoria Tower.
20:43B, Elizabeth Tower.
20:45C, George Tower.
20:47D, Henry Tower.
20:50I should know this because I'm originally English.
20:53Um.
20:57And I'm going to take my time.
20:59Take your time.
21:01I definitely don't think it's D.
21:04I'm tossing up between A and B, given the age of the tower.
21:12Mm-hmm.
21:13So I don't think it's C or D.
21:15And it's the last question, so I might as well just lock something in.
21:23Ten seconds.
21:26I'm going to lock in B, Elizabeth Tower.
21:28Lock in B, Elizabeth Tower.
21:30Now, just a guess?
21:32Yeah.
21:36Okay, Flora.
21:37For $50,000, you needed to lock in B, Elizabeth Tower.
21:44Come on, come on.
21:46$50,000.
21:47Calm down.
21:48I've got a chance.
21:49Come on, congratulations.
21:50Yes.
21:51So great.
21:52Uh-oh.
21:52Well done.
21:53So great.
21:54Have a hug.
21:55Flora.
21:55Have a hug.
21:58Flora just won $50,000.
22:00She's going there for his face camp.
22:02Thank you to all of our contestants.
22:04Our fabulous studio audience.
22:05We will see you next time.
22:06I'm in their hot seat.
22:07Good night.
