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.
00:40So let's meet them. Hi Todd, I'm Ray, retiree from the Central Coast of New South Wales and each year
00:47my wife and I volunteer to give people a more memorable Christmas. Hi Todd, I'm Liz from Central
00:54Victoria. 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
01:06today I'm going to take my wife on a Cunard cruise. Lovely, three fabulous contestants.
01:12When we say Santa's helpers, you do a bit of helping of Santa, Jeff, do you? Oh yes, there's only one
01:17Santa. And a few photos here and there for some of the folk? Yes and all the little children as well, yes.
01:23Fantastic. Good luck to you today Jeff. Thank you. Liz, gonna light up the house with Christmas lights.
01:28Absolutely, if you can see it from the moon I'd be happy. All right, well we'll see whether you can
01:32do that as we move along. Good luck to you Liz. Thank you. And Ray, tell us who you volunteer
01:36for. For Salvation Army, Sir Vincent de Paul and for the epicentre at San Remo, all charities in the
01:45Wayong Central Coast area. Fantastic and I noticed that you've brought a special license with you today.
01:51Ah yes, Santa's given me one of his international flying licenses. Is that right? So if he ever
01:58needs help on the reindeer, I am empowered to be able to drive the sleigh. Fantastic, we love that.
02:04Well, we look forward to seeing you sweeping across the skies Ray. Good luck you three. This is going
02:09to be a ripper of an episode. Let's get ready to play Round One Bank Builder.
02:13Bank Builder's your chance to make some serious cash for every counter that you push over the
02:21tipping point. We'll put $100 into your bank. And now, in the round, you'll each start with three
02:26counters. If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into
02:30the machine or you could choose to ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
02:34If 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
02:44the value of your drop, along with the two mystery counters, which if you push those over, will be a
02:49little bit like Santa coming our way with a present under the tree. So good luck everybody. Hands on
02:54buzzers. And here comes the opening question. In a common idiom, a person with a croaky voice is said
03:00to have what cold-blooded creature? Liz? If they've got a sore throat, they've got a frog in their throat.
03:05They do. Creature in their throat. Well done Liz. Thank you.
03:09Okay, Liz, would you like to play the first counter? I'm just going to play, play, play,
03:13so I shall play my first counter. Play, play, play then. What drop zone?
03:18I'd like a mystery prize, so I'm going to go drop zone three.
03:22Target 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. It gives it instruction and it obeys.
03:40This is a good start.
03:41Good job. That machine's in a joyous mood to start today. That's three over the tipping point.
03:54Three go into the machine. Put that in your bank, Liz, and if all the drops could be like
03:58that, it's going to be a very merry day. Moving 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. Yes.
04:12What would you like to do?
04:12Three as well, please, Todd. Light up drop zone three.
04:21Oh, did that sit flat? I think it just did.
04:26It was thinking about riding.
04:27It would be quicker than I thought.
04:31So close.
04:32Yeah, it did end up riding that one. That's why it did that to you, Jeff.
04:36All right, two counters left for you to play. Two for Liz, Ray. Yet to get started as we move on.
04:41Who played Scott Robinson, the husband of Charlene, on the long-running TV soap Neighbours?
04:46Liz?
04:46Is it Jason Donovan?
04:47Yes, it is.
04:50Drop zone three, please.
04:51Light her up. Drop zone three.
04:55Straight down the middle.
04:58Ooh.
04:58Yes.
05:00If it gets something off, you've lined it up nicely with the mystery.
05:03Yeah.
05:04There it goes.
05:04Ooh.
05:05Is it enough, though, to get that over yet?
05:07I hope so.
05:08Ooh.
05:11So close.
05:12So you get yourself another three, doubled your score.
05:14300 goes up.
05:16We'll whip it out of there into your bank.
05:17600 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?
05:29Ray.
05:30Wagon wheel?
05:31Yeah, it's a wagon wheel, Ray.
05:34What do you want to do?
05:34Drop zone three, only because of the mystery.
05:37Light it up.
05:38That should line up okay with the silver and the black line there.
05:49There you go.
05:51Oh!
05:51It does.
05:52Come on, Ray.
05:55Oh!
05:55Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:58Very nice!
05:59It's my mystery prize.
06:01Oh, I'm sorry, Liz.
06:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:04Go, Dasher.
06:04Go, Prancer.
06:05Yeah.
06:07For a seven, including the mystery over the tipping point.
06:10Yay!
06:10Yeah!
06:11Yeah!
06:11Yeah!
06:11Yeah!
06:12So let's take that out.
06:13Put that into your bank, Ray, and all of a sudden you've got the lead by a single counter over
06:17Liz, but not only that, you've won yourself a Harvey Norman gift card to spend on furniture,
06:22bedding, home appliances, and technology.
06:25It's valued at $1,500 for a gift to Harvey Norman where you'll find the best brand, the
06:31best range, and the best prices guaranteed.
06:34Oh, thank you, Todd.
06:35Very welcome indeed.
06:36Thank you, Gipping Point.
06:37Good 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 to Andrew Lincoln and Keira Knightley
06:47share an iconic scene.
06:48Jeff?
06:49Love actually.
06:49That's correct, with cue cards.
06:52Time for you to get some money in the bank, Jeff.
06:53Yes, I think I'll try number two, thank you.
06:56Light up job zone two.
06:57First time we've been there.
07:05Don'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.
07:13Oh.
07:16Oh.
07:19So close.
07:20Doesn't know the script.
07:21Doesn't know the script.
07:22Right, single counter, nothing in the bank.
07:25As we move on to the next question.
07:26In Australia, what is the standard four letter name for the vehicle Americans call a streetcar?
07:33Ray.
07:35A truck.
07:37It's a tram, Ray.
07:38Tram, of course it is.
07:41I would say damn, but I'll say tram.
07:45And 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.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Okay, Ray and Pushy, 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.
08:00Plain semolina and self-raising are varieties of which, Ray?
08:04Flour.
08:05That's correct.
08:06Common wheat-based cooking ingredient.
08:07Do you want to play it, Ray?
08:09Uh, I might pass this one.
08:11Jeff, would you like to have a go?
08:13My Santa, your helper friend.
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.
08:26If you can get something in that left-hand side.
08:31Whoa.
08:31Yeah.
08:31Oh boy.
08:32That's going to go down that line.
08:34Hopefully it sits on the wall for you.
08:36Hmm.
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.
08:44Oh, yes.
08:45Oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:47Come on, come on, come on.
08:48Oh.
08:50Oh, come on, Jeff.
08:51I'm trying.
08:53I feel like the elf that stole Christmas.
08:55Yeah.
08:55Thanks, Ray.
08:56Thanks, Ray.
08:57Jeff, I'm sorry.
08:58Unfortunately, Jeff, you're out of countess.
09:01Ray and Liz have the final two.
09:02We move on to the second last question of the round.
09:06Queen Elizabeth II and James Bond were depicted parachuting into the stadium
09:10at an Olympics opening ceremony in which city?
09:14Ray.
09:14London Olympics.
09:15That's it, Ray.
09:16Well done.
09:19I'm going to go drop zone one, Todd.
09:21Light up to one.
09:22And just hope I can get a top counter down.
09:25Good luck.
09:29Whoops.
09:30Wrong side.
09:31You might lateral it across.
09:34That'll get it off the top.
09:35Whoa.
09:35Go, go, go, go.
09:36Yes.
09:37Yes.
09:39Whoa.
09:42It's so close.
09:43It 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.
09:49Well, you've got the last question.
09:51I don'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
10:00of which English author?
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.
10:09You've got your chance, Liz.
10:10I'm going to go drop zone one, please, Todd.
10:13Light up one.
10:17Let's go.
10:19Oh.
10:20Oh.
10:21Oh, wonderful.
10:22Yes.
10:22Yeah.
10:24Down it comes.
10:26Whoa.
10:28This was Geoff's as well.
10:29Yeah.
10:30Oh, four 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.
10:42It wasn't at the end of our bank field around.
10:44Ray's got $700.
10:46Liz has the lead.
10:47And Geoff?
10:48Well, quiet, he says, but 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.
11:20And 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
11:32the 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.
11:38She's already played.
11:39I will go for it.
11:40Play, play, play.
11:42Play, play, play.
11:43That's right.
11:43Yes, very good, Liz.
11:44Good luck.

12:29I did know he was a swimmer too, so 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
12:37more counters here.
12:38Yep.
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.
12:51Anyway.
12:53Anyway.
12:53First time in here.
12:54Oh.
12:55Yep.
12:56Should get something off.
12:57There's a gap at the front there, though.
12:59There is.
12:59Oh, yes.
13:01Good.
13:01It might spread.
13:03On you go.
13:04Oh.
13:04Oh.
13:05So close.
13:06And it does a little bit of fielding, 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.

13:59Well, I can only follow Liz again and go drop zone four.
14:04Light up drop zone four.
14:06Ray's doing a lot of cleaning up today.
14:08That's pretty good.
14:17No, I don't.
14:19I think you'll be right.
14:20Oh, yes.
14:20Oh, yes.
14:21Come over.
14:23Go, go, go.
14:24Yeah.
14:24Oh, I've done it.
14:26Well done.

14:34Thank you very much.
14:36Five over the tipping point, 500 bucks.

15:28Three, Jeff.
15:30Well 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's blaming you a lot if I don't get it.
15:47He he he he he he he.
15:52Oh, come on.
15:54Come on.
15:55Get flat.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Yeah.
15:58Softly.
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.
16:04Oh.
16:05Oh.
16:07What did you bring?
16:08Close.
16:08Blue tack with you today.
16:10It was a little.
16:11Okay.
16:12You've got two more.
16:13I would dearly love to get rid of that zero.
16:16Oh, no.
16:17I think I'll try number two.
16:19Two?
16:20Light up two.
16:20Two.
16:26Mmm.
16:27Mmm.
16:29Good.
16:29Okay.
16:30They're not landing where I want them to land.
16:33Well, we've got something off the top shelf first, haven't we?
16:35Yeah.
16:36Oh, come on.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Oh, hello.
16:39Come on, come on, come on, come on.
16:40This could be in big money.
16:41Come on, come on.
16:43Yay!
16:43Wow.
16:44Okay.
16:47Oh, Deb.
16:48Hello.
16:48What's going on?
16:49It's like Christmas.
16:50Come on.
16:50Come on.
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,
17:02you might get close.
17:03You need eight.
17:04I'll go for two again.
17:05Light up two.
17:06Needs to be on the left.
17:07Bang.
17:13Oh.
17:13Oh, look.
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.
17:24Come on.
17:25Oh.
17:26Oh.
17:29Come on.
17:30Well, so close.
17:31Don't think it's going to happen.
17:32Jeff, I'm going to take the 200.
17:34I'm going to put it in the bank and 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, Brian.
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.
18:01And one of them will go on to play for our $20,000 jackpot.
18:04Stay with us on Tipping Points.
18:18All right.
18:18Welcome 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.
18:31Another one of Santa's helpers, Aileen.
18:35What about this fella here?
18:36He's got a bit of cheek to him.
18:38A lot of cheek.
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.
19:10And, you know, I get so much joy out of them.
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 goat of bait and there's the three charities.
19:30I'd like to give them a little bit.
19:31Dib it up nicely and see what you can do.
19:32Yes, that's right.
19:33Okay.
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.
19:44Do what I'm told to do, mate.
19:46Whatever she wants for Christmas, she gets.
19:48She gets.
19:48It's your favourite time of year.
19:50And I believe there's seven Christmas trees that get put up.
19:54Is that right?
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, and then you will hang on to the counter.
20:40So, 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.
20:45Let's do it.
20:50Ray, who stars as a man that accidentally kills Santa Claus in the 1994 film The Santa Claus?
20:58Now, 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.
21:16Tim Allen.
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.
21:36It does.
21:36That's a nice steal from Ray.
21:37Yep.
21:39I think I'm going to go drop zone one.
21:40Okay, light up drop zone one.
21:42Put it over.
21:45I just need it to go to the right.
21:49Go to the right.
21:51Oh, lovely.
21:53Center, center, 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.
22:10I'm going to play.
22:10I'm going to play.
22:11All right.
22:11And it's...
22:12Uh-oh.
22:13There goes my counter.
22:14Oh!
22:17Well, as you were discussing what to give us as an answer, we had a little ambient drop.
22:21So, they're void out of the machine.
22:23And 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.
22:29Twenty-twenty-eight.
22:35There's only one clap, so I'm assuming it's...
22:37I think it's wrong.
22:38...and David behind is flinched.
22:43Is it twenty-twenty-eight?
22:44Math is not my strong suit.
22:45It is.
22:48Yes, it is.
22:52You thought she was going to get it wrong, didn't you, though?
22:54Oh!
22:55You can't just say it.
22:56Twenty-eight.
22:57I don't need dates.
22:57Oh, Sean.
22:58Don't date to math.
23:00Okay.
23:00Well, well done.
23:01Now, you've got the counter.
23:02We did have that little ambient, so that might have changed things for you.
23:05One, two, three.
23:06Whoa!
23:06Oh!
23:07Oh!
23:07Oh!
23:08And there's another ambient.
23:09See?
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.
23:17Again, 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.
23:30Oh, good try.
23:35Yes.
23:35Now, that should clear that pile of the silver on top of the black right there.
23:40Yeah.
23:40Oh!
23:41Oh!
23:42And this will spread a bit.
23:44Oh!
23:45Oh!
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.
23:57Well, you halved the deficit and we'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 Tipping Point.
24:24All right.
24:24Welcome back to Tipping 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.
24:33Sturt's Desert Pea is the floral emblem of which Australian state or territory?
24:38Pass or play.
24:39Sturt is mainly associated with one more state.
24:43Is it?
24:44Than the other.
24:46So, 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.
24:55That's very good.
24:57I 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.
25:09We'll find out.
25:11Is it South Australia?
25:17Go, Ray.
25:18Okay, Ray.
25:19What to do?
25:21Think of them as chimneys and which one you might go down, Ray.
25:23Go down, yes.
25:24Yes, yes.
25:25Well, I think I'd have a softer landing on drop zone one.
25:28Righto, 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?
25:37Hopefully a lovely counter and a bit of a drop.
25:40Oh.
25:43That'll nudge right and that should be pretty good.
25:45I 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.
26:13What 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 wiggle in there.
26:36So, I don't know.
26:37Well, let's find out if it's...
26:40You said again, Liz, red.
26:42Yellow, blue and green.
26:44Is it red, yellow, blue and green?
26:47No green.
26:50It's red, yellow, blue and purple.
26:55That is a big steal by you, Ray.
26:57And guess what?
26:58Now it's just about making more money.
26:59One, two, three.
27:01On the advice of Mrs. Claus, Todd, I'm off to drop zone one.
27:08All right, light her up.
27:20That's going to clean up that left-hand corner, Ray.
27:24Come on, get something else there.
27:26No, nothing there.
27:30You've left a little bit there for later.
27:31I have, yes.
27:33Well, nothing to transfer, but at the end of our head-to-head, Ray, you've got 1,400.
27:37That'll be enough.
27:39Because, Liz, unfortunately, we've found your tipping points.
27:42Oh, Liz, it's been wonderful.
27:45I'm sorry about your life.
27:48I don't know my wiggles.
27:49Liz, unfortunately for you, you're leaving us, but 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.
28:00And, of course, Ray, this normally sits up on top of the Christmas tree, but 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.
28:26Well, 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, Tom.
28:36We're going to put the jackpot in in a minute, but something we haven't found out about you is what you did for a career.
28:41Yeah, look, I had a great career, 37 years with Australia Post.
28:4437?
28:45Yeah.
28:46Delivering in a different way.
28:47That's right.
28:48We delivered, and yeah, now Santa delivers.
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, put aside their books and wrote my own stories for them.
29:09Fantastic.
29:09About a dog and a cat, Rufus and Fonzie, and it was the adventures of Rufus and Fonzie.
29:14Well, today, it's the adventures of Ray.
29:17Yes, I'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 into the machine in just a moment.
29:33Push it back out, you'll be $20,000 richer, unless you get it out with one of the doubles
29:37that is still sitting in there.
29:39If you could get out with that, it would be $40,000 that you could leave with.
29:43So, does that influence where you'd like to 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.
29:56All right, drop zone one, light her up.
30:01Right now.
30:03Okay.
30:03Down it goes.
30:10Okay.
30:12The tenth side.
30:15This might get you double early.
30:19Shuffles 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 as we head to the categories.
30:28And you will be playing, Ray, music, art, sport, pop culture and Christmas.
30:36Now, you can play for one, two or three.
30:38The more you play, the harder the question is, where to start and for how many?
30:42Ah, yes, Todd.
30:43I am going to go in order and 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.
30:54We hopefully can get you to jingle that bell a little louder there, Ray.
30:59On the iconic Abbey Road album cover, which 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.
31:11I mean, my instinct was George, but 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 and 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.
31:40Here comes the sun.
31:42Awesome.
31:43Let's get started and put the three counters in.
31:45Light up drop zone one, shall I?
31:47You must breathe.
31:49Yeah.
31:55Ah, well.
31:57Same spot.
31:58All right.
31:58Yeah.
31:59Shuffle that over a little bit.
32:00Give it a good push.
32:04Down it goes.
32:04Ah, more money!
32:06Yay!
32:09That'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 into drop zone one.
32:16Light that up, please.
32:20See if we can get a bit of a hustle.
32:22Whoa!
32:27Okay.
32:27It's going to nudge it.
32:28Yeah, it might knock it on its side a bit.
32:30Yeah.
32:31All right.
32:31Get that one down.
32:32No, never mind.
32:33Okay.
32:34It'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!
32:47Come on.
32:47Oh!
32:53Whoa!
32:54Look at those.
32:56A 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.
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?
33:15Is it the display room prize, the packing room prize or the waiting room prize?
33:22They do, they display and they unpack.
33:27So 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?
33:44Is that called the display room prize?
33:48Oh!
33:49Ray, unpack, packing room.
33:51Oh, right.
33:52I mean, it's so obvious, yes.
33:54Bad luck.
33:55That one's gone begging.
33:56Yeah, it has.
33:57So we've got to go back to our board here.
34:00Sports next.
34:014-3, thank you, Todd.
34:02Also known as canal vaulting, fear yeppin 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.
34:25Thank you, Todd.
34:26Let's light up the Netherlands.
34:28Is the Netherlands where they go canal vaulting?
34:33Yes, it is.
34:36Righto.
34:37Drop zone one, please, Todd.
34:38Light her up and go left, please.
34:46Oh!
34:46It started there.
34:49Hopefully it'll knock something over though.
34:51Give a little lateral.
34:53No, perhaps this way.
34:54Come on, come on, be a good counter.
34:56That could get the double.
34:57Be a good, oh dear, oh dear.
34:59Right.
35:00I've got another one.
35:01Everything is absolutely ready to roll.
35:04It is, yes.
35:05Okay, you've delivered everything, now it's time.
35:07Light it up.
35:08Light it up.
35:10Come on.
35:14There we go.
35:15That's the one.
35:16Come on.
35:18Here we go.
35:19Oh!
35:20Oh!
35:23Five!
35:25Oh!
35:25Good.
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, light her up.
35:34Set.
35:38Set.
35:38Oh!
35:39Okay, come on, go left, go left, go left, push it.
35:43Knocked that way.
35:45That little bit of extra weight from the jackpot counter.
35:51And 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.
36:28All right, Ray.
36:30Let's find out if you're a step closer to this $20,000, though, after the break.
36:47Welcome back.
36:48Ray's been spreading some Christmas cheer here today.
36:50$2,900 is yours, Ray.
36:52That's in the bank.
36:53Now, before the break, the question we asked was the film character Indiana Jones has a morbid
36:58fear of what?
36:59You said snakes.
37:00Is snakes correct?
37:03You bet it is.
37:05Well done.
37:07Thank you, everybody.

37:25Push, push, push.
37:26We've got to get it hard against that left wall.
37:31That's good.
37:33That's a half a dozen.
37:34That gives you three and a half thousand.
37:36Now we're looking good.
37:37Right.
37:38Let's get on the lower level.
37:39Light it up one, please.

38:03$3,600.
38:04But the star on top of the Christmas tree is on the bottom shelf.
38:08So we have one more.
38:09Light it up one more time.
38:11Okay.
38:11Number one.
38:12Come on.
38:16Ah!
38:17Just when you get excited, the machine goes, settle down.
38:21I know, but there's a nice clump.
38:23Oh, I've got two.
38:25Yeah.
38:25You're going to clean it up as well.
38:27I hope so.
38:28No.
38:30It does a bit of length.
38:31Oh, very heavy.
38:32So nothing off that drop.
38:33We've got one category left to play and it's all about Christmas.
38:37How could I get this wrong?
38:40Yeah.
38:43You better not get it wrong.
38:44I know, Todd.
38:45Three counters.
38:46I'll play for three, yeah.
38:47All right.
38:49Here we go.

38:54Traditionally fed and then beaten with sticks to produce presents,
38:58the Catalan Christmas character Tio de Nadal is also known as the what?
39:05The puking tree, the peeing wood or the pooing log?
39:13Oh, my goodness.
39:15What sort of Christmas do they have in Catalan?
39:21Oh, God.
39:22I don't know where I'm going, so I'm going to go pooing log.
39:25Let's light up pooing log.
39:28Anybody know?
39:29I do.
39:30Machine does.
39:31Let's find out if it's pooing log.

39:44How am I going to press this if I'm too exhausted?
39:48Light up one.
39:49Light up one.
39:49Come on, here we go.
39:52Come on, Ray.
39:53You can do this.

40:00Come on.
40:01Get over to the left.
40:03Down she comes.

40:41$3,900.
40:43And Ray.
40:44Yes.
40:45You have one counter left to play.
40:47Drop the own one, please.
40:48Light it up.
40:49Let's see if we can have a jolly.
40:51Merry Christmas.
40:52Oh, Ray.

40:56Oh, Ray.
40:57Oh, Ray.
40:59Oh, Ray.
41:00Oh, Ray.
41:01Santa might be about to deliver.
41:02Oh, no.
41:03It's gone the other way.
41:04Oh.
41:05Oh.
41:06It's gone the other way.
41:07It has.
41:08So close.
41:09So at the end, Ray, of our jackpot round, you've got yourself $3,900 to take home.
41:16Not bad, eh?
41:18By the way, it's not over yet, because Santa has one more delivery.
41:23We're going to play jackpot temptation.
41:29Here comes the fun bit.
41:30Yes.
41:31To play temptation, you're going to have to give up $3,900.
41:35You could walk away with that, or you could give it back for the chance to get this over.
41:40So.
41:41Whoa.
41:42Hold on.
41:43Wait a minute.
41:44Wait a minute.
41:45That's mine, too?

41:48Look at just what happened.
41:49Yes, I know.
41:50It now got pushed all the way.
41:52Yeah.

41:54Now it's just a single normal, and it's on its way.
41:57Yeah.
41:58So here's the offer for you, Ray.
42:00Three counters.
42:01Yeah.
42:02But increase the value of the jackpot to $40,000.
42:05Oh, God.
42:06Oh.
42:07And because this has been a joyous episode, I'll give you another offer to contemplate.
42:13I'll give you four counters.
42:14I'll give you four counters.
42:15The original value of $20,000.

42:27Oh.
42:28Thanks to the cruise experts at my cruises.
42:30Now, while you contemplate that, we're going to the newsroom.

43:22But I've got to do this to you, Ray, and this is the part that hurts.
43:25We're going to take $3,900 away.
43:27Yeah, I didn't win that.
