Superintendent Tilley (Nigel Lovell) is shaken after discovering that a drunken troublemaker he saw at the golf club and the detective he has nominated for an award are apparently the same person.

Poss (Erin Pratten) is astonished when the spruikers from the ‘Bonza’ cereal TV advertisement come right out of the TV set and into the living room.

This story, ‘Born Loser’, is set in the Wakadoo Café (puppets) dimension of Lift Off. Nearly, the woebegone waiter, loses at everything he does and he is sick of it.
