5:07Williams visits Taylor's scaffolding business and meets members of its workforce.
6:21Williams and Taylor enter an escape room, where their approaches to getting out differ.

12:11A staged office meeting sets up the episode's resolution with Rossiter.

Karina Rossiter remembers the ceiling giving way with a man in it. In "New Zealand Today: Arthur Taylor - The Falling Criminal!", Guy Williams returns to her account of an escaped prisoner falling onto her in a bathroom, then sets out to secure an apology from Taylor.

The September episode currently draws the strongest daily audience of the channel's videos. Williams visits Taylor in Dunedin, meets workers at his scaffolding business and accompanies him to an escape room. The segment also makes room for Taylor's reflections on prison reform. Its eventual meeting with Rossiter uses a staged ceiling stunt before Taylor apologises sincerely for the distress.

New Zealand Today posted nothing new this week, but its catalogue brought in roughly 34,000 views. The subscriber count stayed at 297,000, while daily views are running below their usual level.

The dinosaur investigation featured in our earlier story remains among the active uploads, alongside Williams's attempt to obtain promised retirement coal for three former miners. Those very different reporting assignments keep the channel's small-town investigative premise in view during the upload break.

Among nearby television and comedy channels, Would I Lie To You? had a substantial week for views, while Have I Got News For You US added subscribers and is drawing an unusually large daily audience. New Zealand Today's week was much smaller, with Taylor's apology assignment providing its strongest ongoing activity.
