0:01:57 > 0:02:00I could not be happier, Ramis!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03If you didn't watch the semifinals,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I was convincing Ramis he should feel confident in himself.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08You now feel confident, Ramis?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Of course.- This is amazing!

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Yes, very close,
0:02:42 > 0:02:48but I think because just before it we did a bit of revision, so I think
0:02:48 > 0:02:52that was one of the reasons why we actually remembered some
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- of the answers.- Hasan, calm, cool, collected team captain.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21In the semifinals you asked for a round entitled,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Things That Faris Knows.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Very upsetting. - Is it very upsetting?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33What are you going to do to help your team out in the final, Faris?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Win or lose, we showed team spirit and we showed confidence,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- and that's all that matters. - That's absolutely true, Faris.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Best of luck. Please welcome St Pius X Preparatory School,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Remember, it's the finals. The questions get more difficult.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Listen carefully to everything I say.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Here are the rest of your questions, on the subject Flags.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31On the screen, you'll see a world flag, but one colour is missing.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Here's your first flag.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36What colour is missing from the flag of Luxembourg?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41My team's going to go with red.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You're saying red. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It is right, well done.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Can you work out what colour completes the flag of Iceland?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Iceland. That's blue.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- No, it's definitely blue. - It's blue, trust me.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59OK. I'm not sure, but we're going to go with blue.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01You're saying blue. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It is right, well done.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What colour is missing

0:05:17 > 0:05:19It is right.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24- Yellow. - Yellow.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Or is it orange? Is it orange-y?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK, we're going to go with yellow.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31You're saying yellow.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Give them both a huge round of applause, well done.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48APPLAUSE
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Now, Hasan, in that round, that was quite interesting,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57because you were taking your team's advice when you weren't sure if they
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- were correct.- That was actually my round, you know,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01because flags is my subject.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So, Faris, I did have a round for you!
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Thank you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Let's move on. And the next subject is...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Here is your control question.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Who was the first British monarch to have their photo taken?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Amaani? - Charles I.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27No conferring.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Gabriel. - Queen Victoria?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31That's the correct answer, Gabriel.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Well done. APPLAUSE
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You've got a point, you've got control of the game.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Here are the rest of your questions on history.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43In this game, you're going to see four key events in history
0:06:43 > 0:06:47on the screen, and you must put them in the order that they occurred.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49So, the events are...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02So, put them in order for me.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04What was first, second, third, and fourth.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Fourth is Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee.- Mm-hm.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Then first e-mail sent was probably three.- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- OK.- And then the discovery of the moons, probably two.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22Right, the earliest event, we think, is A.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And what do you think was second?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29C.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- What happened third?- B.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Let's see how many you got correct.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Well done, St James', you've got three points in that round.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well done! APPLAUSE
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You just got the first two the wrong way round, but well done.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01And, at the end of that round, St Pius have five points,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04St James' right behind them now on three points.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08APPLAUSE
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Gabriel, that was just the first two.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Yeah.- But you weren't quite sure, were you?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- But you tried to work it out.- Nope. - But you got the last two right.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Yeah.- Louis, you knew 2012.- Yeah.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And e-mails have been around for as long as you can remember,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- haven't they, Louis? - Probably, yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Do you know we had something called a landline, Louis?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- No, I don't remember that. - No, you don't remember that.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- That's absolutely fine. - It's probably hundreds of years ago.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It was hundreds of years ago. Thanks, Louis.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36So, let's move on to the next subject, and it is...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Here is your control question.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Buzz in if you think you know the answer.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52thermal... Ameya.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Insulators.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's the correct answer, Ameya, well done.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58You got a point. You have control. APPLAUSE
0:08:58 > 0:09:04Here are the rest of your questions, on the subject of parts of the body.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06On the screen you'll see an image of a human body,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08and I'll ask you to identify the highlighted part.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Which part of your body is this?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Heart.- Heart. - We're going to go with the heart.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You're saying the heart. Let's see if that's right.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Can you name this part of the skeleton?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- The skull.- Skull. - Or the cranium.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- We're going to go with the cranium. - What?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37And what is this part called?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Lungs.- The lungs.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40We're going to go with the lungs.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You're saying the lungs. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It is the lungs.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02- The pink bit.- We're going to go with the small intestine.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- (The large intestine!)- You're going to go with the small intestine.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- (It's the large.) - Let's see if that's right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It is right, well done. You got five points, St Pius.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17and, right behind them, St James' have three points.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well done! APPLAUSE
0:10:22 > 0:10:26But everything can change now in Top Class,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28because it's time to move on to my favourite round,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30because it's time to...

0:10:41 > 0:10:43all this sort of stuff, I hope.
