It was the Law & Order special, with Shaun dressed up as Benton Fraser from Due South, a Canadian Mountie. Stuart the Meerkat was dressed as his sidekick, a deaf half-wolf named Diefenbaker. Amanda was dressed as the Freak from Prisoner, Charlie as Ponch from Chips, and Josh as Mr Plod from Noddy.

The guests were Jay Laga’aia (BB), dressed as Shaft, Jane Allsop (Gen X), dressed as Farah Fawcett’s character from Charlie’s Angels, and Gyton Grantley as Mahoney from Police Academy. The set was transformed into a court room.

First game played was Missing Persons, followed by Frankenface. The teams were to play As Quick As, but Hello Kitty interrupted to describe the rules, before segueing into talk of power turtles and the riding a push-bike song, thereby running out of time for the actual game.

The four buttons were all scientists who have contributed to advancement of mankind: Dr Albert Schweitzer, Dr Jonas Salk, Dr Christiaan Barnard and … Dr Geoffrey Edelsten.

• Gen Y chose Schweitzer, playing ‘Who am I doing?’ – Shaun ‘assisted’ as Josh, then Gyton, as they acted lines from a number of movie scenes. Josh then stripped off his jacket.
• Gen X picked Barnard, which was ‘Name That Tune’. Shaun played one of the songs, and Stuart sung another.
• BB decided on Salk, where the game was Lost Luggage.

Matching the theme, the Your Gen topic was ‘Crime ‘n Punishment’. The super flying turtle referred to by Kitty came to deliver the end game envelope: ‘Which Generation is Best at .. Cleaning an Aquarium.’ Gen X won, after Gen Y was clearly ignored. The trophy was the 1978 (Coke-Cola) YoYo Champion Award, donated by Don Lee of Jeeralang Junction Vic.

TAYG is back! This week’s guests were Todd McKenney (BB), Dave Hughes (Gen X), Kate Miller-Heidke (Gen Y).

First up was Chicken or Egg, guessing which of two similar things came first. Stuart the Meerkat rudely interrupted before a new game “Establishing Shot”, where the teams had to determine the TV show from the opening shot. The timer for “As Quick As” was a sheep being shorn.

The four buttons were all those who lost the 2011 Gold Logie to Karl Stefanovic: Chrissie (Swan), Adam (Hills), Hamish (Blake) and Sean himself – purposely mispelt.

• Gen X chose Adam, a new game called Media Barren. Headlines had to be created based on historic photos using magnetic words, as well as identifying the year.
• Gen Y picked Hamish – “Guess the Guest”. Patti Newton inhaled the voice-lowering balloon gases, but Kate was still able to identify her.
• BB decided on Chrissie, which was “It Could Be Worth” – deciding on what goods would have been worth at the time of their release, and keeping the purchases under-budget.

Stuart burst through the desk to announce the Your Gen topic: “Kings ‘n’ Queens”. The End Game asked the question Which Generation Is Best At… Raising a Barn. The teams were all dressed as Amish people and had to assemble a barn outside. Gen X just beat Gen Y, winning the Maribyrnong High School Quantity Surveying Award from 1974, donated by Cathryn Van Tatenhove.
