Put Ray Martin up against a celebrity and it rates. God knows why, maybe opposites attract.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
GSGeoffrey Salter
You're tough! You're... Remember that time you asked Imran Khan about his new lover? Man, nobody would have done that!
Yeah, that was off-air.
GGeoff
...yeah! But it still took guts, he's a big man.
I mean, that's why people like you Mike, you're nice. My mum likes you.
I didn't know she watched.
She doesn't, but from what I tell her, she thinks you're really nice.
[At the end of an interview.]
Thanks a lot for that, Pat, that was terrific.
PCPat Cash
Just one thing, why is everyone laughing? Is it something I said? Everyone's been giggling the whole time.
There's rumour going around that you and I slept together.
PCPat Cash
You're kidding, that's unbelievable. We've never even met before today. I just... who would start stuff like that?
I did.
KPKate Preston
Brian, we're still struggling to find a psychologist specialising in siege-related traumas.
Well, we need someone.
KKate
Well, we have got a psychology, uh, student...
Nah.
KKate
Well, he's mature age. He's got a beard.
Alright. We'll slap him up in front of a bookcase.
SStu
What are you doing, mate?
MDMartin Di Stasio
Crouching.
SStu
What for?
'Cause it makes it look like I'm in danger.
SStu
Mate, the gunman's five kilometres away.
Shut up. It's dark, who's gonna bloody know?
And say hello to Father Stephenson for me.
SStudent
Uhh, he's dead.
Oh that's terrible. Uh, well, tell him I'm sorry to hear that.
FFarmer
Mike Moore has this network's support right up until the day we sack him.
Don't underestimate our viewers Brian.
I've built a career on it, mate.
Marty, can you imagine how humiliating it would be for a woman to know that her breasts have been seen by half the country?
[turns to Brooke] What's it like, Brooke?
[After the interviewee, Allison, has gone.]
I might just re-ask one of the questions. When I said to her, "How many team members had it in for her", what was her answer?
SStu
"Most of them."
I might just change that question slightly.
[Cut to the edited, broadcast interview.]
Allison, how many girls on the team are gay?
AAllison
Um, most of them.
Great. We get a thirteen-year-old, wire him up with a camera and get someone to sell him smokes.
That's entrapment.
No, it's current affairs.
Our audience simply doesn’t have the concentration span.
[plays distractedly with a piece of stationary]
Mike?
[looking up] Sorry.
We've got three minutes to do a story. Five if it involves nudity.
[on the Logie Awards] That's the trouble with these shows. You spend all night trying to remember everybody’s name.
Simple solution – you call everyone "mate". [Everybody laughs and agrees.] Everyone does it, can't remember your name, see ya – maaaaate.
[spotting Bert Newton in a shopping centre] Bert! Bert.
BNBert Newton
Oh, hi.
How's it going?
BNBert Newton
Just great, thanks.
Looking forward to the Logies?
BNBert Newton
Oh, certainly am, yeah.
Well, I've just been doing some shopping for it.
BNBert Newton
Yeah.
Well, I better get going – lovely to see you Bert.
BNBert Newton
Yeah, good to see you... mate.
