00:00One of these jolly contestants will have the opportunity to make all their Christmases
00:04come at once. Who will have a cracker of a game and unwrap this special jackpot counter
00:09worth $20,000? I'm Todd Woodbridge, let's jingle all the way on Tipping Point.
00:30Welcome to Tipping Point where three of Santa's finest helpers are ready to take on the machine, so let's meet them.
00:41Hi Todd, I'm Ray, retiree from the Central Coast of New South Wales, and each year my wife and I volunteer to give people a more memorable Christmas.
00:51Hi Todd, I'm Liz from Central Victoria, I'm a retail manager, and if I win I'm going to cover my house in Christmas lights.
01:00Hi Todd, my name is Jeff, I'm a Santa's helper from Penrith, New South Wales, and if I win today, I'm going to take my wife on a Cunard cruise.
01:10Lovely, three fabulous contestants. When we say Santa's helpers, you do a bit of helping of Santa, Jeff, do you?
01:16Oh yes, there's only one Santa.
01:18And a few photos here and there for some of the folk?
01:21Yes, and all the little children as well, yes.
01:23Fantastic. Good luck to you today, Jeff.
01:25Liz, going to light up the house with Christmas lights.
01:28Absolutely, if you can see it from the moon, I'd be happy.
01:31Alright, well we'll see whether you can do that as we move along.
01:33Good luck to you Liz.
01:35And Ray, tell us who you volunteer for.
01:36For Salvation Army, Sir Vincent de Paul, and for the epicentre at San Remo, all charities in the Wyoong Central Coast area.
01:47Fantastic. And I notice that you've brought a special licence with you today.
01:51Ah, yes. Santa's given me one of his international flying licences.
01:56Is that right?
01:57So if he ever needs help on the reindeer, I am empowered to be able to drive the sleigh.
02:03Fantastic. We love that. Well, we look forward to seeing you sweeping across the skies, Ray.
02:08Good luck, you three. This is going to be a ripper of an episode.
02:11Let's get ready to play Round 1 Bank Builder.
02:17Bank Builder's your chance to make some serious cash for every counter that you push over the tipping point will put $100 into your bank.
02:24And now, in the round, you'll each start with three counters.
02:26If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine,
02:31or you could choose to ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
02:35If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds, I have to take a counter away from you.
02:40Now, in the machine, you'll see the two double counters, which, if you push those over, will double the value of your drop,
02:45along with the two mystery counters, which, if you push those over, will be a little bit like Santa coming our way with a present under the tree.
02:53So good luck, everybody. Hands on buzzers. And here comes the opening question.
02:57In a common idiom, a person with a croaky voice is said to have what cold-blooded creature? Liz?
03:03If they've got a sore throat, they've got a frog in their throat.
03:05They do. Creature in their throat. Well done, Liz.
03:09OK, Liz, would you like to play the first counter?
03:12I'm just going to play, play, play, so I shall play my first counter.
03:16Play, play, play, then.
03:17What drop zone?
03:18I'd like a mystery prize, so I'm going to go drop zone three.
03:21Just target it early. Light up three. First drop of the day.
03:26Just need it to go to the right. Right now.
03:30Oh, look at that.
03:34Yes.
03:35Ooh.
03:35Gives it instruction and it obeys.
03:37Good drop.
03:38Oh, this is a good start.
03:45Good drop.
03:48Well, our machine's in a joyous mood to start today.
03:52That's three over the tipping point.
03:54Three go into the machine.
03:55Put that in your bank, Liz, and if all the drops could be like that, it's going to be a very merry day.
04:00Moving on to the second question.
04:04The port city of Calais is in which European country?
04:07Jeff?
04:08French.
04:08Of course it is.
04:09Yes.
04:12What would you like to do?
04:12Three as well, please, Todd.
04:14Light up drop zone three.
04:15Oh, did that sit flat?
04:24I think it just did.
04:25Oh, let's see.
04:26It was thinking about riding.
04:27It's really quicker than I thought.
04:29Oh.
04:31So close.
04:32Yeah, it did end up riding, that one.
04:34That's why it did that to you, Jeff.
04:36All right, two counters left for you to play, two for Liz, Ray.
04:39Yet to get started as we move on.
04:41Who played Scott Robinson, the husband of Charlene, on the long-running TV show Neighbours?
04:46Biz?
04:46Is it Jason Donovan?
04:47Yes, it is.
04:50Drop zone three, please.
04:51Light her up.
04:52Drop zone three.
04:55Straight down the middle.
04:58Oh.
04:58Yes.
05:00If it gets something off, you've lined it up nicely with the mystery.
05:03Yeah.
05:04There it goes.
05:05Is it enough, though, to get that over yet?
05:08I hope so.
05:08Oh.
05:09Oh.
05:11So close.
05:12So you get yourself another three.
05:13Doubled your score.
05:14300 goes up.
05:16We'll whip it out of there into your bank.
05:18600 now, Liz.
05:19You're the only money in the bank at the moment.
05:21Single counter left for you to play.
05:23Our next question.
05:24Which classic chocolate and marshmallow biscuit is named for the wheel of a horse-drawn vehicle?
05:30Ray.
05:30Wagon wheel?
05:31It's a wagon wheel, Ray.
05:34What do you want to do?
05:35Drop zone three, only because of the mystery.
05:37Light it up.
05:41That should line up okay with the silver and the black line there.
05:50There you go.
05:51Oh.
05:52It does.
05:52Come on, Ray.
05:54Oh.
05:55Very nice.
06:00There's my mystery prize.
06:01Oh, I'm sorry, Liz.
06:03Oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:04Go, Dasha.
06:05Go, Prancer.
06:06Yeah.
06:07For a seven, including the mystery over the tipping point.
06:10Yay!
06:12Let's take that out.
06:13Put that into your bank, Ray.
06:14And all of a sudden, you've got the lead by a single counter over Liz.
06:18But not only that, you've won yourself a Harvey Norman gift card to spend on furniture, bedding, home appliances and technology.
06:25It's valued at $1,500.
06:28That's a Harvey Norman where you'll find the best brand, the best range and the best prices guaranteed.
06:34Oh, thank you, Todd.
06:36Very welcome indeed.
06:36Good stuff.
06:38Okay, moving on.
06:39Ray, you've got two counters still to play.
06:41Liz, you've got one.
06:42Jeff, you have two also.
06:44In which Christmas film do Andrew Lincoln and Keira Knightley share an iconic scene?
06:48Jeff?
06:49Love Actually.
06:50That's correct.
06:50With cue cards.
06:52Time for you to get some money in the bank, Jeff.
06:54Yes, I think I'll try number two, thank you.
06:56Light up job zone two.
06:57First time we've been there.
07:03Oh.
07:04Don't slide in between those two rows.
07:09It's got to hustle either left or right quickly for you, Jeff.
07:13Come on now.
07:16Oh.
07:19So close.
07:20Doesn't know the script.
07:21Doesn't know the script.
07:23Right, single counter, nothing in the bank.
07:25So we move on to the next question.
07:27In Australia, what is the standard four-letter name for the vehicle Americans call a streetcar?
07:33Ray.
07:35A truck?
07:36Oh, no.
07:37It's a tram, Ray.
07:38Tram, of course it is.
07:40Tram.
07:41I would say dam, but I'll say tram.
07:44Oh.
07:44And as you went with that, the machine gave a massive ambient drop.
07:49It's out of play, and you can all think about what might have been.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Okay, Ray, unfortunately, I've got to take that counter away.
07:56So you've got one left, along with Liz and Jeff.
07:59So here comes the next question.
08:01Plain, semolina, and self-raising are varieties of which, Ray?
08:05Flour.
08:05That's correct.
08:06Common wheat-based cooking ingredients.
08:08Want to play it, Ray?
08:09I might pass this one.
08:11Jeff, would you like to have a go?
08:13My Santa, if you help me.
08:14I don't have a choice, do I, Ray?
08:16Not now, no, but good luck.
08:19Righto, Jeff.
08:20What can you see?
08:21Oh, I'll go one.
08:22One it is.
08:23One it is.
08:24If you can get something in that left-hand side.
08:31Whoa.
08:32That's going to go down that line, hopefully.
08:34It sits on the wall for you.
08:37Come on, now.
08:38Got to get you moving in the money department.
08:40I know.
08:41I know.
08:42Santa needs as much money as he can get.
08:44Oh, yes.
08:45Oh, yes.
08:45Down, there it comes.
08:47Come on, come on, come on.
08:48Oh.
08:50Oh, come on, Jeff.
08:52I'm trying.
08:52I feel like the elf that stole Christmas.
08:55Yes, it is.
08:56Thanks, Ray.
08:57Jeff, I'm sorry.
08:59Unfortunately, Jeff, you're out of countess.
09:01Ray and Liz have the final two.
09:03We move on to the second last question of the round.
09:06Queen Elizabeth II and James Bond were depicted parachuting into the stadium at an Olympics opening
09:11ceremony in which city?
09:14Ray.
09:14London Olympics.
09:15That's it, Ray.
09:16Well done.
09:18I'm going to go drop zone one, Todd.
09:21Light up for one.
09:22And just hope I can get a top counter down.
09:25Good luck.
09:29Whoop.
09:29Wrong side.
09:31You might lateral it across.
09:34That'll get it off the top of the job.
09:35Whoa, go, go, go, go.
09:37Yes.
09:39Whoa.
09:42It's so close.
09:44It ends up doing what you suggested.
09:44Well, there you go, Liz.
09:45They're all for you.
09:47No pressure, Liz.
09:48No pressure.
09:48Hopefully I can answer it.
09:50Well, you've got the last question.
09:51Don't need to buzz.
09:51Don't need to buzz.
09:52Do need to answer.
09:53You've got three seconds to do it.
09:55Final question.
09:56The term Orwellian denotes something that is suggestive of the writings of which English
10:00author?
10:01I'm going to go with George Orwell.
10:03And you'd be right.
10:04I don't know if that...
10:05Is it right?
10:05Yes.
10:06Yes.
10:06Very good.
10:08You've got your chance, Liz.
10:10I'm going to go...
10:11Drop zone one, please, Todd.
10:13Light up one.
10:17Let's go.
10:19Oh.
10:20Oh.
10:20Oh, wonderful.
10:22Yes.
10:22Yeah.
10:24Down it comes.
10:26Whoa.
10:27Yeah.
10:28This was Geoff's as well.
10:30Yeah.
10:30Whoa.
10:31Four for you.
10:32Very good.
10:34Well done, Liz.
10:35That's another four over the tipping point.
10:36So $400 is going to be coming your way.
10:39Put that into your bank.
10:40You've got yourself $1,000.
10:42And at the end of our bank field round, Ray's got $700.
10:46Liz has the lead.
10:47And Geoff, well, quiet, he says.
10:50But he does need to pick up the pace.
10:51All of that's coming next on Tipping Points.
10:53Well, welcome back to Tipping Point.
11:08It's all things Christmas today.
11:09And Ray, Liz and Geoff are battling it out.
11:12One of them will have the chance to play for our $20,000 jackpot.
11:15Let's play Quickfire.
11:16And so in Quickfire, your leads have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
11:24For every correct answer, I'll give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:28Every counter becomes incredibly important because the player with the lowest score at the end of the round, we have to say goodbye to.
11:35So, Liz, you're currently in the lead.
11:37What would you like to do?
11:38Play.
11:39She's already played.
11:40I will go for it.
11:41Play, play, play.
11:42Play, play, play.
11:43That's right.
11:44Yes, very good, Liz.
11:44Good luck.
11:45All right, Liz, 30 seconds is on the clock and your time starts now.

12:23No idea.
12:25Mac Horton will get a giggle out of the fact that he's riding horses underwater.
12:29I did know he was a swimmer, too.
12:31So that's good.
12:32It's hard here, isn't it?
12:33It is very hard.
12:34The good thing for you, Liz, is you're in the lead and you have one shot at finding some
12:38more counters here.
12:39Yep.
12:41Against the audience, I'm going to go drop zone four.
12:44Okay.
12:45Four it is.
12:46Light up four.
12:48Come on, four.
12:49Be lucky.
12:50Let's go.
12:53Anyway.
12:54First time in here.
12:54Yep.
12:56Should get something off.
12:57There's a gap at the front there, though.
12:59Very.
12:59Oh, yes.
13:01But it might spread.
13:03On you go.
13:05It does a little bit of building, Liz.
13:08So, no money to transfer.
13:10You have to find out what Ray and Jeff can do.
13:13Now, Ray, you're next up.
13:14You've got 700 in the bank.
13:16Are you going to play?
13:17Yeah, I think I'll play, Todd.

14:00Well, I can only follow Liz again and go drop zone four.
14:05Light up drop zone four.
14:06Ray's doing a lot of cleaning up today.
14:14Boo.
14:14Boo.
14:16That's pretty good.
14:17No, Ray.
14:18I think you'll be right.
14:20Oh, yes.
14:21Come over.
14:23Go, go, go.
14:24Yeah.
14:24Oh, no, no, no.
14:26Well done.
14:28Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
14:30Ray.
14:31Yes.
14:32You're ho, ho, hoing all the way to the bank today.
14:34Thank you very much.
14:36Five over the tipping point, 500 bucks.
14:38That gets you a lead, because when we take it out of the machine and put it into your bank,
14:41you've got 1,200.
14:43A two-counter lead over Liz.
14:45So, Jeff.
14:46Hmm.
14:47You've got a lot of work to do.

15:25Abby Jacobson and Alana Glazer.
15:28Three, Jeff.
15:29Well played.
15:31Three generally is very solid, but let's see.
15:34Maybe you could get that double close in a couple of pushes.
15:40We'll go for one.
15:41One it is.
15:42Light up one.
15:45He play my new life if I don't get it.
15:52Ooh, come on.
15:54Come on.
15:55Get flat.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Sins down softly.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Now just hustle a little bit to the left, I think.
16:02That'll give you a better look at something.
16:04There it goes.
16:05Oh.
16:07What did you bring?
16:08Close.
16:09Blue tack with you today, James.
16:10Yeah, we'll do it.
16:11Okay.
16:12You've got two more.
16:13I would dearly love to get rid of that zero.
16:15Oh, no, I think I'll try number two.
16:19Two?
16:19Light up two.
16:20Two.
16:20Two.
16:20Two.
16:21Two.
16:21Two.
16:26Mm.
16:27Mm.
16:29Good.
16:29Okay.
16:30They're not landing where I want them to land.
16:32Well, we've got something off the top shelf first, haven't we?
16:35No.
16:36Oh, come on.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Oh.
16:39Hello.
16:39Come on.
16:39Come on.
16:40Come on.
16:40This could be in big money.
16:41Come on.
16:42Yay.
16:43Wow.
16:44Okay.
16:47Oh, Deb.
16:48Hello.
16:49What's going on?
16:49It's like Christmas.
16:51Oh.
16:53I think the Grinch is in here.
16:54Oh, but I'll tell you what, you've got two.
16:56So I'm going to put 200 in.
16:58And if you can get something that sits in the middle of that pile, you might get close.
17:03You need eight.
17:04I'll go for two again.
17:06Light up two.
17:06Needs to be on the left.
17:12Bang.
17:13Oh.
17:14It hit so hard it nearly threw that one over.
17:18Oh.
17:19Oh, the problem is, can you get something to touch it?
17:21Come on, baby.
17:22I don't know if you're going to get there.
17:24Come on.
17:25Come on.
17:26Oh.
17:29Come on.
17:30So close.
17:31Don't think it's going to happen.
17:33Jeff, I'm going to take the 200.
17:34I'm going to put it in the bank.
17:35And at the end of your quickfire round.
17:37Just take it away.
17:38You've got 200.
17:39Before I take it away, though, Ray, you've got the lead with 1,200.
17:43You've cleaned up where Liz has built something and Jeff has built something.
17:47Liz, you've got 1,000.
17:48Unfortunately, Jeff, we've found your tipping point.
17:52Thank you, Colin.
17:53It's been lovely to have you on.
17:55Thank you for coming.
17:56Thank you very much indeed.
17:57And it means that after the break, Ray and Liz, they're going head to head.
18:00And one of them will go on to play for our $20,000 jackpot.
18:04Stay with us on tipping points.
18:05All right, welcome back, everyone, to tipping point.
18:20Ray and Liz are about to go head to head.
18:21One of them will play for our $20,000 jackpot.
18:24But, Ray, I believe you brought Mrs. Claus with you today, or a.k.a. Mrs. Claus.
18:28That's right.
18:29Yes.
18:29Yes, my lovely wife, Aileen.
18:30Hello, Aileen.
18:31Hello.
18:32Another one of Santa's helpers, Aileen.
18:35What about this fella here?
18:36He's got a bit of cheat to him.
18:38A lot of cheat.
18:39Yes.
18:39Have you put up with him for how many years?
18:4152.
18:42Oh, is that right?
18:4452 years.
18:45You're a lucky man, Ray.
18:47I struck gold with Aileen.
18:48Yeah, you sure did.
18:49Wonderful wife.
18:50You donate your time, both of you, to a lot of charities.
18:53Tell us about those and what you do for them, Ray.
18:55I came up with the idea to donate my time so that their clientele could have photos with
19:02a Santa's helper at Christmas time and Mrs. Claus when she's available.
19:06Fantastic.
19:07But the little kids love Santa.
19:09Fantastic.
19:09And, you know, I get so much joy out of it.
19:12Great.
19:13Now, if you were able to get some money today, what would you do with it?
19:16I'm coming up for bilateral knee surgery.
19:19Wow.
19:20So there'll be a little bit of hospital out of pocket.
19:24Our little cottage needs a good go to bait.
19:27And there's the three charities.
19:30I'd like to give them a little bit.
19:30Divvy it up nicely and see what you can do.
19:32Yes, that's right.
19:34But, Liz, you've got your hubby David with us.
19:36Give us a wave, David.
19:37So, question to you.
19:39How happy are you about all the lights on the house?
19:42Because I'd imagine that's a bit of work for you to have to do.
19:45Do what I'm told to do, mate.
19:46Whatever she wants for Christmas, she gets.
19:48She gets.
19:49It's your favourite time of year.
19:50And I believe there's seven Christmas trees that get put up.
19:54Is that right, Harry?
19:55No, no.
19:55Nine.
19:56Nine.
19:57Nine trees.
19:58Where do you put them all, Liz?
19:59Oh, don't ask.
20:00Oh.
20:01Don't ask.
20:01No, it's very, very logical.
20:03You've got to have your main one.
20:05Yes.
20:05Some in the front of the house for the people going past.
20:08Yeah.
20:08You need one on the landing.
20:09You need one by the dining table.
20:11And I think this year there'll be one in the bedroom.
20:13I'm hoping.
20:14Fantastic.
20:15Hey, let's keep the game moving, shall we?
20:17Because you two are about to go head to head.
20:22Good luck.
20:23All right.
20:24In the round, you'll each be asked two questions.
20:26If you answer your question correctly, you'll get to place the counter into the machine.
20:29If you get it wrong, your opponent steals it.
20:32However, if you are unsure of your question, you can pass it to your opponent in the hope
20:36that they do not know the answer.
20:38And then you will hang on to the counter.
20:39So, Ray, you are in the lead.
20:41Gives you the option of playing first if you'd like.
20:44Yes, Todd.
20:44I'd like to go first.
20:46Let's do it.
20:50Ray, who stars as a man that accidentally kills Santa Claus in the 1994 film The Santa Clause?
20:57Now, I know a lot about Santa.
20:59Now, remember, you can pass or play here.
21:01I know, yeah.
21:02I'm just thinking through my Santa movies.
21:07I'm going to have to pass to Liz.
21:09Her younger age probably know it, but I'll give it to Liz.
21:14I am thinking Tim Allen.
21:16I'm thinking.
21:17I know Tim Allen from a lot of shows, yes, and as a Santa in one of them.
21:22So, good luck, Liz.
21:23Because I think he takes over after he kills him.
21:26Right.
21:26We'll find out if it's Tim Allen.
21:30Well done.
21:32Yeah, the green matches your green shirt today, Liz, and you've got the counter.
21:36That's a nice steal from Ray.
21:38Yep.
21:38I think I'm going to go drop zone one.
21:41Okay, light up drop zone one.
21:42And push it over.
21:42I just need it to go to the right.
21:49Go to the right.
21:51Oh, lovely.
21:52Centre.
21:53Centre, right.
21:54I'm hoping it'll go across and push them all over.
21:59Oh.
22:00It doesn't.
22:02But, Liz, you still have the next question.
22:05In what year will the next leap year occur?
22:09Now, remember, it's pass or play.
22:09I'm going to play.
22:10I'm going to play.
22:11All right.
22:12And it's...
22:12Uh-oh.
22:13There goes my counter.
22:15Oh.
22:17Yeah.
22:17Well, as you were discussing what to give us as an answer, we had a little ambient drop.
22:22So they're void out of the machine.
22:24And we'll go back to your answer, Liz.
22:25So, I think last year was a leap year.
22:27So, it's every four years.
22:3120...
22:328.
22:332028.
22:332028.
22:35There's only one clap, so I'm assuming it's wrong.
22:37Ray's clapping.
22:38Ray's clapping.
22:38It's wrong.
22:38And David behind her is flinched.
22:41Is it 2028?
22:42Is it 2028?
22:44Math is not my strong suit.
22:45It is.
22:47Yes, it is.
22:52You thought she was going to get it wrong, didn't you, though?
22:54You can't just say it.
22:5628.
22:56I don't need dates.
22:57I was throwing.
22:58Don't need dates and math.
23:00Okay.
23:00Well, well done.
23:01Now, you've got the counter.
23:02We did have that little ambient.
23:03So, that might have changed things for you.
23:06Whoa.
23:08And there's another ambient.
23:10So, Liz, it's two ambients now that have just given us gaps on the tipping point.
23:14Yeah.
23:14What do you want to do?
23:15You're only two behind.
23:16There's still plenty more sitting there.
23:18Again, I think I'm going to go against the audience and go for one because lots of them
23:23are stacked high.
23:24Okay.
23:25I'm thinking they're going to fall easy, so drop zone one.
23:28All right.
23:28Let's get in there before we get another ambient.
23:34Oh, good try.
23:35Yes.
23:36Now, that should clear that pile of the silver on top of the black.
23:39Right.
23:40There.
23:40Oh.
23:42And this will spread a bit.
23:44Oh.
23:47I'm good at setting it up.
23:48Well, you've got yourself one, but you might get another bump here.
23:52That would be nice.
23:54There we go.
23:56Not going to get any more over.
23:58Well, you halved the deficit.
23:59We'll put a hundred up into the machine.
24:02Let's take it from there.
24:03Put it into the bank, Liz.
24:04You've got $1,100.
24:06Well, we'll be back after the break to see who makes it through to play for our $20,000.
24:10Stay with us on TV Points.
24:11All right.
24:24Welcome back to Chipping Point.
24:25Ray and Liz are going head to head.
24:27Ray, the lead is one for you now as we have the next question for you.
24:32Sturt's Desert Pea is the floral emblem of which Australian state or territory?
24:38Pass or play.
24:40Sturt is mainly associated with one more state.
24:43Is it?
24:44Than the other.
24:45So I'm going to have a go, Todd, and play.
24:50Liz looks more like a gardener than I am.
24:53Well, she's in green at least, yeah.
24:55Yeah, she's green.
24:56That's very good.
24:56I can't remember from my lovely trips there, but I am going to say South Australia.
25:04You tend to agree, Liz.
25:05I do.
25:06Are you a green thumb as well?
25:07I do do a bit of gardening.
25:10We'll find out.
25:11Is it South Australia?
25:14Yes.
25:17Okay, Ray, what to do?
25:21Think of them as chimneys and which one you might go down, Ray.
25:23Go down, yes.
25:24Yes, well, I think I'd have a softer landing on drop zone one.
25:28Oh, no, we'll light that up.
25:30So if I could have drop zone one, please.
25:33On the first day of Christmas, what'd you get, Ray?
25:36Hopefully a lovely counter and a bit of a drop.
25:40Oh.
25:43That'll nudge right and that should be pretty good.
25:46Oh.
25:48Oh.
25:50Oh.
25:50I wonder whether that'll be enough.
25:55It's two in the end that came over.
25:57So 200 goes up.
26:00You extend your lead again, but only by three when we transfer that, Ray.
26:031,400 faces 1,100.
26:08Liz?
26:08Yep.
26:09This is close.
26:10Very, very close.
26:11So, Liz, the final question.
26:15What are the four main colours of skivvy worn by members of the Wiggles?
26:19Oh, red.
26:20Pass or play?
26:21Oh, play.
26:22Yep.
26:23Okay.
26:23I'll definitely play.
26:24I know my Wiggles.
26:25And it was red, yellow, blue and green.
26:28Is that right, Ray?
26:29Red, yellow, blue and green?
26:32I remember a purple wiggling me.
26:35Oh.
26:35So, I don't know.
26:37Well, let's find out if it's...
26:39You said again, Liz.
26:41Red.
26:42Yellow, blue and green.
26:44Is it red, yellow, blue and green?
26:47No green.
26:50It's red, yellow, blue and purple.
26:54That is a big steal by you, Ray.
26:57And guess what?
26:58Now it's just about making more money.
27:00On the advice of Mrs. Claus,
27:05Todd, I'm off to drop zone one.
27:08All right, light it up.
27:20That's going to clean up that left-hand corner, Ray.
27:24Come on.
27:25Get something else there.
27:26No, nothing there.
27:29So close.
27:30You've left a little bit there for later.
27:32I have, yes.
27:33Well, nothing to transfer, but at the end of our head-to-head, Ray,
27:36you've got 1,400.
27:37That'll be enough.
27:39Because, Liz, unfortunately, we've found your tipping points.
27:43Oh, Liz.
27:44That's been wonderful.
27:45I'm sorry about your life.
27:47I'm sorry.
27:47I don't know my wiggles.
27:49Liz, unfortunately for you, you're leaving us,
27:53but I hope you've had a good time.
27:54I hope the lights get still put up there.
27:56I've had the best time.
27:58Great.
27:58It's been so much fun.
27:59We've loved having you.
28:01And, of course, Ray, this normally sits up on top of the Christmas tree,
28:04but today it's a jackpot counter worth $20,000.
28:07It's the star, and we'll find out whether you can master our machine.
28:11That'll be right after the break.
28:13Stay with us on Tipping Point.
28:14Well, welcome back to Tipping Point, where Ray is slaying it today.
28:30He's got 1,400 in the bank.
28:32Nice start.
28:33We want you to go home with a lot more, Ray.
28:35Thank you, Todd.
28:36We're going to put the jackpot in in a minute,
28:37but something we haven't found out about you is what you did for a career.
28:41Yeah, look, I had a great career,
28:4237 years with Australia Post.
28:4537?
28:45Yeah.
28:46Delivering in a different way.
28:47That's right.
28:48We delivered, and, yeah, now Santa delivers.
28:51Yeah.
28:51Yeah.
28:51And I believe that you do a bit of writing.
28:53I love writing.
28:55Over the years, I've written some 70 poems.
28:58I love words, and I love my grandkids.
29:01Yes.
29:02I've even, in my wildest moments,
29:05put aside their books and wrote my own stories for them.
29:09Fantastic.
29:09About a dog and a cat, Rufus and Fonzie,
29:12and it was The Adventures of Rufus and Fonzie.
29:15Well, today, it's The Adventures of Ray.
29:17Yes.
29:18I'm amazed.
29:19Our very own Santa's helper.
29:22Are you ready to play?
29:23I'm ready to play.
29:24Good luck, Ray.
29:25We're going to play the jackpot round.
29:28Good stuff, Ray.
29:29All right, we're going to get you to put the jackpot counter
29:31into the machine in just a moment.
29:33Push it back out.
29:34You'll be $20,000 richer,
29:35unless you get it out with one of the doubles
29:37that is still sitting in there.
29:39If you could get out with that,
29:40it would be $40,000 that you could leave with.
29:43So, does that influence where you'd like
29:44to place the jackpot counter today?
29:47No.
29:48Ah, it was worth a try.
29:50It was a lot of fun.
29:52Aileen says one.
29:53Yes.
29:54I'm going drop zone one.
29:57I know.
29:57Drop zone one.
29:58Light her up.
29:58Yes.
30:01Right.
30:02Now.
30:03Okay.
30:03Okay.
30:03Down it goes.
30:10Okay.
30:12The 10 side.
30:13Whoa.
30:15This might get you double early.
30:18No, it shuffles it along.
30:21But it does get you some more money.
30:23So, four came over.
30:24$1,800 is sitting in the machine.
30:26That's our starting point.
30:27As we head to the categories,
30:28and you will be playing, Ray,
30:31music, art, sport, pop culture and Christmas.
30:36Now, you can play for one, two or three.
30:38The more you play,
30:39part of the question is where to start
30:41and for how many?
30:42Yes, Todd.
30:43I am going to go in order
30:45and I'm going to go for three.
30:47All right.
30:48Music for three.
30:49Let's get behind, Ray.
30:50We want him to have a jolly happy Christmas.
30:52Yay!
30:53We hopefully can get you to jingle that bell
30:56a little louder there, Ray.
30:57On the iconic Abbey Road album cover,
31:03which Beatle is barefoot?
31:05John, Paul or Ringo?
31:07You can remember it, can't you?
31:08You can see it.
31:09You can visualise it.
31:10Whoa.
31:11Yes.
31:12I mean, my instinct was George,
31:15but I can't see.
31:16Well, he ain't there, so it's not him.
31:18No, it's not George.
31:19I know he was supposed to be the grade digger.
31:21That's why he thought he was barefoot.
31:24But, yes, John was in front.
31:26Ringo was last,
31:27and I think it was Paul barefoot
31:29and George behind him.
31:31I think I'll go Paul.
31:33Thank you, Todd.
31:33Let's light up Paul.
31:35Is that the answer?
31:38Yes.
31:39Here comes the sun.
31:42Awesome.
31:43Let's get started and put the three counters in.
31:45Light up top zone one, shall I?
31:48I bet, I believe.
31:49Yeah.
31:55Ah, well.
31:57Same spot.
31:58All right.
31:58Yeah.
31:59Shuffle that over a little bit.
31:59Give it a good push.
32:03Down it goes.
32:05Ah, more money!
32:07Yeah!
32:07That's three more.
32:10Let's put 300 into the bank.
32:12That gives you 2,100.
32:14And we'll get the second counter back in to drop zone one.
32:16Light that up, please.
32:20Let's see if we can get a bit of a hustle here.
32:25Oh!
32:26Okay, it's going to nudge it.
32:28Yeah, it might knock it on its side a bit.
32:30Yeah.
32:31All right.
32:31That one down?
32:32No, never mind.
32:33Okay, it's pushed it all against the wall, so we need everything to fly hard left.
32:37Yes.
32:37We've got one more.
32:38Light it up.
32:44Whoa!
32:46Come on.
32:51Oh!
32:53Whoa!
32:54Look at those.
32:56It's a jolly happy game today, isn't it?
32:58Yes, it is.
33:00It is.
33:00Let's go back to categories then.
33:02Moving on down, you've got art.
33:03Three, thank you, Scott.
33:04Light up art for three.
33:08In the Archibald Prize, what is an additional award judged by the gallery staff who receive,
33:13unpack and hang the portraits?
33:16Is it the display room prize, the packing room prize or the waiting room prize?
33:22They do, they display and they unpack, so it's one of the others.
33:28So, I'm going to go A on this occasion.
33:32Thanks, Todd.
33:33I think it's display.
33:34Let's light up display.
33:37In the Archibald Prize, do the gallery staff who receive, unpack and hang the portraits?
33:43Is that called the display room prize?
33:48Oh!
33:49Ray, unpack, packing room.
33:51Oh, right.
33:52I mean, it's so obvious.
33:54It was in there.
33:54Yes.
33:55Bad luck.
33:55That one's gone begging.
33:57Yeah, it has.
33:57So, we've got to go back to our board here.
34:00Sports next.
34:01Four-three, thank you, Todd.
34:05Also known as canal vaulting, fear yeppen is a traditional sport of which country?
34:12Portugal, the Netherlands or Iceland?
34:16Immediately what came to mind was the Netherlands because I'm sure they jump over their canals.
34:23So, I'm going to go the Netherlands, thank you, Todd.
34:26Let's light up the Netherlands.
34:28It's the Netherlands where they go canal vaulting.
34:33Yes, it is.
34:36Right-o.
34:37Drop zone one, please.
34:38Light her up and go left, please.
34:46Oh!
34:48It started there.
34:49Hopefully, it'll knock something over, though.
34:51Give it a little lateral.
34:53No, that's this way.
34:54Come on, come on, be a good counter.
34:56That could get the double.
34:57Be a good-oh, dear, my dear.
34:59Right.
35:00I've got another one.
35:01Everything is absolutely ready to roll.
35:04It is.
35:05Okay, you've delivered everything, now it's time.
35:07Light it up.
35:10Come on.
35:14There we go.
35:15That's the one.
35:16Come on.
35:17There we go.
35:19There we go.
35:20Oh!
35:23Oh!
35:25Oh!
35:26Good.
35:27That was four.
35:28You've got two and a half thousand sitting in the bank, and if we can get one more left,
35:31we're on that bottom shelf.
35:33Third and final counter.
35:34Light her up.
35:37Set.
35:38Oh, come on.
35:39Okay, come on.
35:40Go left.
35:41Go left.
35:41Go left.
35:42Push it.
35:43Knock that way.
35:44That little bit of extra weight from the jackpot counter.
35:48Oh!
35:50And the double's down.
35:52It was two including the double, so it becomes 400 that we'll put up there.
35:562,900.
35:58Yes.
35:58And we've got to go back to our categories.
36:01Pop culture.
36:02Probably my worst category.
36:04Okay.
36:05But I'll still have a go for three.
36:07All right.
36:07Pop culture for three.
36:10Film character Indiana Jones has a morbid fear of what?
36:15Snakes, heights, or guns?
36:20Everyone's afraid of guns.
36:23I think it's snakes.
36:25Oh, go snakes, Todd.
36:27Let's light up snakes.
36:29All right, Ray.
36:30Let's find out if you're a step closer to this $20,000, though, after the break.
36:34Welcome back.
36:48Ray's been spreading some Christmas cheer here today.
36:50$2,900 is yours, Ray.
36:52That's in the bank.
36:54Now, before the break, the question we asked was,
36:56the film character Indiana Jones has a morbid fear of what?
36:59You said snakes.
37:00Is snakes correct?
37:01You bet it is.
37:04Well done.
37:07Thank you, everybody.
37:08Well done.
37:09Right.

37:34That gives you $3,500.
37:36Now we're looking good.
37:38Right, yeah.
