Wow, there was a woman in France who lived to be 122 years old! | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
That's unbelievable. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
That is a good age, Doctor, but I know someone a little closer to home | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
who's celebrating their birthday today. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Oh, no! The professor's birthday! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-I totally forgot! -Not to worry, Doctor. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
I've got a big surprise planned. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Triple chocolate marshmallow fudge cake. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
Oh! The professor's favourite. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Oh, you're a lifesaver, Colin. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Well, I do my best, Dr Knowles. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
-Ouch! -Lads, lads! | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
You'll never guess what day it is today. Lads? Hello? | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Oh, crumpets. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
This is Brain Freeze! | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
With Dr Knowles, | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
Professor McCork | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
and Colin the floor manager. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Stand by! | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-Hi, folks, and welcome to Brain Freeze. -It's time to reveal... | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Today's Big Question! | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
And today we're asking, what is the oldest living thing? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
It could be from the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Or the "handsome scientist | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
"celebrating a very special day" kingdom. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-Eh? Any idea, lads? -SHE CLEARS THROAT | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
For most creatures, life is very shot. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
An adult mayfly can live for as little as 30 minutes. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Humans, on the other hand, live to an average of around 80 years. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
You think that's old? Check these fellas out. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
Galapagos giant tortoises can live for up to 200 years | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
and there are some whales who have been known to live just as long. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Sounds like a lot of candles. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
But for plants, life can stretch out even longer, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
almost unimaginably longer. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
Well, hold that thought, Dr Knowles, cos we need to take a quick cake... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Break! Sorry, break. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
And we're clear! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Colin, how are you going to make a cake out of that? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Not to worry, Doctor. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
I've got everything under control. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
# Working hard, keep pushing, boy | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
# You know the clock is ticking | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
# You can be the best, the number one | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
# Rise up to the top I'm going to win... # | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-BELL RINGS -Oh, crumpets! | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Positions, everyone! | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Welcome back, Brain Freezers. Leona asks, | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
"What about trees? Don't they live for really long?" | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
They sure do, Leona. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
The oldest tree on record was this bristlecone pine, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
found in the White Mountains of California. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
It's an estimated 5,062 years old. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
Yeah, I bet you nobody ever forgot ITS birthday. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
It began life during the Bronze Age, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
lived right through the time of the Roman Empire, | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
and still towers over us today. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
But, believe it or not, folks, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:45 | |
there's something even older than that. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
It's time to reveal... | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Today's Big Answer! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
So what is the oldest living thing? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Oh, it'll be me soon if we don't hurry up and finish it. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Although it reproduces in a different way to most plants - | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
by cloning itself - | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
the oldest living thing is Neptune grass, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
a type of sea grass found deep in the Mediterranean. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Parts of the colony are estimated to be at least 100,000 years old. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
-So that's all for today on Brain Freeze! -Yeah, whatever. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
See you next time. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
And we're clear! | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-Nice work, people. -And about time. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
See you later, pals. I'm off. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
Oh! Oh! Don't leave just yet, Professor. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-Eh? -We've got a little surprise for you. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |

-What is it, Dr Knowles? -It's a cake, Professor. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
Colin made it for you. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
Ah, right, a cake. That's brilliant, that is, Colin. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
