C1: OTALGIAS (8)
C2: saligot
OT: GALIOTS (7) OTALGIA (7) SOLATIA (7)

Round 4: O E A U D B T Y I
C1: DUBIETY (7)
C2: DUBIETY (7)

C2: EPICARP (7)
OT: CAMPIER (7) CRAPPIE (7)

C1: 629.
C2: 638. (4+4)*(75+5)-100/50 (10)

Round 9: D U M P Y N O S E
C1 buzzes on 1 second to say PSEUDONYM which is correct.
Score: 68–52 (max 78)
So hours before Jack's triumph here in the UK, Andrew goes down in history Down Under.
NB - Andrew didn't provide details of how the first two numbers games were solved and I have chosen the most obvious method. The episode is up on SBS's (the channel it is on) website but it Geoblocked me.
