0:00:04 > 0:00:06Agh!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09What happens when we try and make fire underwater?
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Can this week's contestants help Guinea Pig catch some serious hail?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17And bursting balloons with oranges, obviously!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Flex your thinking muscles - it's time for...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21VOICE ECHOES
0:00:24 > 0:00:26APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:26 > 0:00:30HE LAUGHS UPROARIOUSLY
0:00:30 > 0:00:34- My name is... - ECHOES:- ..Dr Brain!
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Using breathtaking super science
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and more fun than a fairground full of disco-dancing robot Chihuahuas,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43I aim to find the finest minds this side of the Milky Way!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- ECHOES:- And I never fail!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- NORMAL VOICE:- Er, almost never... Sometimes I do.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- LASER BUZZES, HE IMITATES IT - Electrifying! Schoom!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54THUNDER CRASHES
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- This is... - ECHOES:- ..Ultimate Brain!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Yoink!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Let's meet the contestants hoping they've got a smart answer
0:01:02 > 0:01:05for everything. Looking mean and green from Nottingham...
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Looking like a bunch of brainy bananas in yellow from Liverpool...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18And this week's celebs are from
0:01:18 > 0:01:20CBBC's All Over The Place. Yes, it's...
0:01:23 > 0:01:24CHEERING
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- I am on a quest... - HORSE TROTS AND WHINNIES
0:01:26 > 0:01:29..on my horsey to find the brainiest beings in the galaxy!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32They'll need to be super-smart, quick witted
0:01:32 > 0:01:34and not too jealous of my amazing hair!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Isn't it gorgeous?!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Ha-ha-ha-ha! Let's find out who they are!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41First we have the Green Team! How are you doing, Greens?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Good.- Good.- Now then, Dr Ben, what would you like to be
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- when you get out of school? - Um, a scientist.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- You could be like Dr Brian Cox... - NORTHERN ACCENT:- ..and talk about
0:01:52 > 0:01:56the universe and energy and physics and stuff like that.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- OWN VOICE:- Well, what's your team name, Greens?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That sounds like an amazing name.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- The Greens! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- FAST FOOTSTEPS - It's the Yellows.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09- How are you?- Great.- Great.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Dr Lucy, what would you like to be when you leave school, do you think?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- A nurse.- A nurse! That would be great, wouldn't it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19What is it about nursing that really attracts you? What do you think?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Well, my mum's a nurse...- Oh! - ..and she really enjoys her job
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and I'd like to help people with sicknesses.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- SOFT PIANO MUSIC, BIRDSONG HE SNIFFS:- That's lovely!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30You want to help people with sicknesses?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Oh, well, that's good! - MUSIC STOPS
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Cos when poor old Mr Guinea Pig falls over
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and gets wet, and all the things I'm going to make him do later,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38you could help him, couldn't you?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Thank you, Dr Lucy!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We need more people in the world like her.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44What's your team name?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Ooh! I like it!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- It's the Yellows! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- FAST FOOTSTEPS - I suddenly feel very, very short.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Tell us the name of your programme, please?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- All Over The Place, it's called! - Yeah, yeah!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I know you are, but what's the name of your programme? Ha-ha!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04That's the kind of comedy we're used to on this programme, folks.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- So, Dr Iain?- Yes? - Play any musical instruments?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I, er, play the violin.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Let's put that theory to the test. - Aw, what?!- Thank you, Dr Paul.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Here we have a genuine, scientific violin.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Now, then, don't worry about this. - Oh, it's in tune and everything!- Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I'm going to play one of the greatest of all time,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and this is called Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Oh, one of my favourites!- Ready?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32TUNEFUL PLAYING
0:03:32 > 0:03:35DR BRAIN SOBS
0:03:37 > 0:03:39He's quite good! You're quite good!
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Thank you!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45You see, I wasn't crying because it was so lovely.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I was crying because of what he was doing to that poor violin!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50COMEDIC DRUMBEAT, SOBBING CONTINUES
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Now, then, Dr Ed!- Hello! - Are you good at science?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Er, I'm absolutely appalling at science.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Ah!- I still want to grind these children into the dirt, though.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I fully intend to beat them.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Nah, they're not going to beat you, are they?- ALL: No!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Ew!- And if we don't beat you, we'll get Iain to play his violin at you!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- There's a threat!- Yeah! FRANTIC PLAYING
0:04:08 > 0:04:09LAUGHTER
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- What's your team name? - We have called ourselves...
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Team All Over The Place, it's good to meet you! So, remember, teams...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20If you want the points, you'll need to think like mega-brainy boffins
0:04:20 > 0:04:22at all times and, whatever you do,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26be prepared to encounter extreme levels of fun at any moment!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Can you do that?! - ALL: Yes!- Yes!
0:04:29 > 0:04:30That's your first correct answer.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Have 50 billion points. - TILL RINGS
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Now, time for some super-duper science, in the round we call...
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- ECHOES:- Ignition! Make it so.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Well, here we go, folks, with our first round.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Now, I always felt sorry for mermaids.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52WIND HOWLS
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh, I know that sounds random, but bear with me!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I didn't feel sorry for them because they have sort of salty hair
0:04:59 > 0:05:02all the time, or because they have a fish's bum instead of legs,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05which must be quite weird when you want to go dancing,
0:05:05 > 0:05:06but I sort of felt sorry for them because,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09well, you can't have fireworks under the sea, can you?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It'd be rubbish! One of life's great tragedies, that is.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15But it got me wondering - what happens
0:05:15 > 0:05:19if we take an Ultimate Brain special sparkling sparkler,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23wrap it in tape, light it and then, place it into water?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Whoo!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- What do you think might happen? - It might explode.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Explode! Ho-ho-ho, ho-ho! That would be fun, wouldn't it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Now, then, on the table is a jar of water, teams.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Now, you've got to use all your thinking brilliance to tell me
0:05:36 > 0:05:39what you think will happen if we light the sparkler
0:05:39 > 0:05:41and plunge it into the water!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Ho-ho! Hee-hee-hee! Look at the confusion on their faces!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49To make it simpler for everybody, I'm going to give you four choices.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Count 'em - four! - BELL RINGS
0:05:50 > 0:05:51So, here we go!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Will it - A - will the sparkler go out?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59B - will ice crystals form around the sparkler? Oh!
0:05:59 > 0:06:03C - will the water turn fluorescent green?
0:06:03 > 0:06:09Or D - something else entirely of your own thinking
0:06:09 > 0:06:11that you can think of with your own Ultimate Brains,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14that perhaps my Ultimate Brain hasn't come up with yet.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Is that possible? Have you thought of it?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20So, teams, your thinking time starts...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21NOW!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24'So, our teams need to think carefully about
0:06:24 > 0:06:29'what will happen to the sparkler when it is plunged into the pool.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31'Will its swimming trunks fall off? Oh, ho-ho!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34'Oh, you silly thing! Have you thought of your answer?'
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- ..fluorescent green. - Shall I spy on some children?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- ALARM - OK, everyone, that is your time up.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Placing my protective gloves on, you see - health and safety!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Reveal your answers now!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Oh, we have an A, we have a D, and an A - two As and a D!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Greens, why have you gone for D?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- What do you think's actually going to happen?- It might stay alight.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Stay alight?! - MUSIC
0:06:57 > 0:07:00# Staying' alight! Staying' alight! Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! #
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I like that answer! Good one, Greens!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Now, then, we've got two As.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm going to go to Yellow A first to find out what your logic is.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- What's your thinking?- I think a fire needs oxygen to stay alight...- Yes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- ..and there's no oxygen in water, I don't think.- Ah!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Well, there is oxygen within water, isn't there? Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Hydrogen and oxygen, isn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21But it's sort of bound up to the hydrogen, isn't it?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- So, I see, so you think it's going to go out?- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Not enough oxygen. I see, OK!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Now, then, Blues, you've gone for the same answer,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- but is it the same thinking? - Not exactly.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I don't know what oxygen means. SNORTING AND GIGGLING
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I've just went for... When I go to fireworks displays,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- you put the sparkler in water. - Hmm!- And then, it always goes out.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- We do have a slight concern about our choice, though.- Do you?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- It won't make great television, going out.- Well, we don't know!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It could be the right answer, you could be lucky, you could get...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- ECHOES:- ..honour points!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54So, have you bright sparks worked out the answer
0:07:54 > 0:07:58to this sparkly conundrum? Or have you fizzled out already?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let's see what actually happens when you take a sparkler
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and you plunge it into the water!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Ultimate warning - do not try this at home!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Only trained talking science superhero monkeys
0:08:10 > 0:08:11should ever attempt this!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- So, shall we see it?- Yes!- Yeah! - Want me to try it? Right...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16MUSIC: Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Here we go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Are you ready?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Three...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27..two...one!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37And in she goes!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Woo-hoo!- Wow!- Ha-ha! - EXCITED SHOUTING
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Aqua-sparkle-tastic! Would you look at that?!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Look at it!- Look, it's on fire! - Look! Well, you were right about
0:08:46 > 0:08:49substances needing oxygen to burn, you see.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51And usually, water would
0:08:51 > 0:08:54actually starve fires of oxygen, like you said.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Yes!- You said that it would. - That's what I said!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58But what was wrong was, actually, sparklers have got
0:08:58 > 0:09:01an oxygen-containing chemical within them,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04so it's like they've got their own oxygen supply!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Isn't that amazing? So they can burn in environments that don't
0:09:07 > 0:09:09have any available oxygen. 'Including underwater!'
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Ha-ha-ha! So, the amazing answer is...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- D - something else! - BELL RINGS
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Which means all the points go to the Greens!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- CHEERING - Well done, Greens! Good work!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Look at the Greens skyrocket into the lead with a massive 5!
0:09:28 > 0:09:29- DRAMATIC MUSIC - Schoom! Now...
0:09:29 > 0:09:35my most magnificently-minded teams of terrific geniuses,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39we call the next challenge Raining Cats And Guinea Pigs. Ha-ha-ha!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY - Now, I'll tell you something.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44We were installing some posh windows in the ceiling, you see,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46so that I could be a bit like my hero...
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- NORTHERN ACCENT:- ..Dr Brian Cox and do a bit of stargazing
0:09:50 > 0:09:53at the wonders of the universe.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- GIGGLING - Oh, look - there's Jupiter!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Oh, look - there's Saturn.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- COOING - Oh, look - there's a pigeon.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02PARP! PIGEON FLIES OFF, LAUGHTER
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- COCKNEY ACCENT:- We need to get that fixed! Ha-ha, ha-ha!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08So, we cut out the holes, but the windows haven't turned up!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- OWN VOICE:- And the weather forecast predict...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- PLUMMY ACCENT:- ..a spot of very bad hail.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- OWN VOICE:- Now, all these huge hailstones... Doink! Doink! Doink!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19..could easily cause irreparable damage
0:10:19 > 0:10:21to my beautiful laboratory equipment! Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25And even worse, they could ruin my fabulous hairdo! Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So, teams, you need to use all of your inventive brains
0:10:29 > 0:10:31to come up with a device that means someone could
0:10:31 > 0:10:34catch as many of the falling hailstorms at the same time!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Our teams were given two days and a budget of...
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- ECHOES:- £50 squillion...
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- NORMAL:- ..divided by a squillion to design their challenge.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45For this challenge, the teams need to consider
0:10:45 > 0:10:49large or multiple surface areas to catch the hailstones.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52They need to think about stability when GP is moving about!
0:10:52 > 0:10:57And what materials will be best to catch the hard hailstones!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Whoever collects the most hailstones shall be the victor!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- DRUMROLL - Boom, boom, ba!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06All hail the hail-catcher himself...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09the Mighty Guinea Pig!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- CHEERING - # I came in like a hailstone! #
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Er, GP?!- # They were so big They were like tennis balls! #
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Um, you're up! - MUSICAL STING
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Hi.- Hey, Dr Brain. Sorry, I was miles away, listening to my music.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Yeah, I know, I know, I know, GP.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Now, are you ready to brave the hailstones in the name of science,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29with the help of our trusty teams here?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Oh, I can't, sorry. I'm off this afternoon.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yeah, but... What?!- Only kidding! Of course I am, Dr Brain!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Ah, brilliant! You had me there for a second, GP!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40(No, he didn't, really.) It was a great joke!
0:11:40 > 0:11:41(It was rubbish.)
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- What was that, Dr Brain? - Oh, nothing!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Right, off you go, GP!
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So, now let's see what our teams have come up with.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- First up, it's the Blues! - Yeah!- Yeah!- Yes!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- So...- Whoa, yes!- Yes! - ..the Blues, what have you got here?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59We call these ICE pants.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Iain, Chris, Ed!- Pants! - Oh, I see! Very good.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05We do loads of silly events on All Over The Place,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08so we know what we're doing. This is going to work perfectly.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- The hail falls through the hoop... - Uh-huh?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13..into there and then, he tips himself over,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15like that - Ooh! - and the balls roll out.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- And they all come out through the little hole at the front?- Yes!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Team All Over The Place have gone for a large, netted surface area
0:12:22 > 0:12:26around GP's waist, with a hula hoop for added stability.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Let's hope Guinea Pig doesn't get in the way of the falling hail!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- OK, let's see it in action! Are you ready?- Yes!- Here we go!- Here we go.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37In three...two...one!
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Hail!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Go on, Guinea Pig!- Go on! Get hail!- Go on, Guinea Pig!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- SHOUTING CONTINUES - 'Oh, no!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'Guinea pig is leaning back, look, accidentally closing off
0:12:46 > 0:12:50'his catchment zone! Oh, their design is just too flimsy!'
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Here we go - the poop and scoop!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Poop and scoop, Guinea Pig! - Yes, that's better!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57'Ah, but wait! Now, GP's got his technique just right,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01'catching the hail here and here!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03'But will it be enough to catch the points?!'
0:13:03 > 0:13:05BLUE TEAM SHOUTS
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- ALARM - And it's time! That's time!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You did quite a lot of moving about there,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Guinea Pig, for not much result. How have you done, do you think?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- It's not great, it's not great.- Not great?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Is anybody going to do any better? Let's find out!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Next up, it's the Yellows!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I'm looking at a man wearing four washing-up bowls,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27two umbrellas, some sort of sack and a bowl on his head.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- What is it?- The Bowl Brother. - The Bowl Brother! Oh, I like that!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33That's a good name - succinct!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Now, then, what's the science behind this, then?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39There's just a lot of different ways he could catch the hail.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40There certainly are!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Ye Olde Household have gone for maximum surface area,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45symmetrical for balance,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47with a selection of different materials, you see!
0:13:47 > 0:13:51There's hard buckets, a soft bag and plastic upturned umbrellas!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Ah, looks like it'll catch some hail and, hopefully, catch some points!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Oh, I see, yes, so you're sort of maximising the surface area
0:13:59 > 0:14:00with which you can catch the balls?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Yeah.- Yeah.- Well, you know what? I want to see this in action!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Cos I think it looks pretty good!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Are you ready? - ALL: Yes!- Yes!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Three...two...one!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Your minute starts now! - KLAXON
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Go on, GP!- Go on, GP! - Try to move around!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Go on, GP!- Oh, they've got some in the umbrella there.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Go on, move around, move around! Go on, GP!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Get them all in! Yes!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21'The use of different materials
0:14:21 > 0:14:24'and multiple catching zones looks to be paying off!
0:14:24 > 0:14:28'Hail is bouncing right out of the hard bucket, but look!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31'It's being caught by the soft bag
0:14:31 > 0:14:34'and the shock-absorbing plastic of the umbrellas!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37'Nice work, but will it be enough to win?'
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Oi! Don't tip the umbrellas! - Don't tip the umbrellas!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- ALARM - That's time up! That's time up!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- CHEERING - Well done! Ha-ha-ha!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48One of my trained laboratory assistants here is
0:14:48 > 0:14:53helping Guinea Pig to dispatch the balls into the sack there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I think you might've done quite well. How do you feel?
0:14:56 > 0:14:57- Good.- I think we could win this.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- You think you could win it?- Yeah. - You're confident?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Well, that's going to be tricky to beat, isn't it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I wonder if the Greens can do it. I can't wait to find out!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It's the Green plan!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Now then, what's it called?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Bowly Moley.- Bowly Moley!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I like that name. That's great. So, talk me through it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17What's the science behind it?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21We made it so he can flip up the hailstone that's on the floor
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and get it into his feet, and the ones that are coming in high,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27he can use all the bowls, so if it goes over his head,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30it can go in the bowls behind his head.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35The Supersonic Cybernetics have gone for smaller multiple surface areas
0:15:35 > 0:15:39with a bowl-brimmed collar, and foot scoops to catch any stray hail.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42It's a head-to-toe, hail-catching system!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Shall we see it?- Yes!
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Guinea Pig, your time starts now!
0:15:47 > 0:15:49THEY CHEER HIM ON
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Yes. Tell him what to do.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Is it going into the feet? Oh, it's tricky, isn't it?
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Oh, no, the material they've used is much too hard.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The hail is bouncing right off. Look, look at that, you see?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08And the foot scoopers are losing as much as they catch
0:16:08 > 0:16:10as GP moves around. Look at that, you see?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Oh, but how much hail has bounced off and how much have they caught?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I can't bear it!
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Catch it!
0:16:16 > 0:16:17SIREN WAILS
0:16:17 > 0:16:21That's your time up, that's it! All done.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Now, our scientific expert is removing the balls.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Ah, but is that going to be enough to win?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Team All Over The Place suffered
0:16:30 > 0:16:32due to their flimsy support structure,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and the Supersonic Cybernetics' choice of hard materials seemed to
0:16:35 > 0:16:37deflect as much as they caught.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40But did Ye Olde Household's large catchment area
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and varied materials do enough to take the points?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Let's find out!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You can feel the tension in here, folks.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53So, Greens, you got five balls into the goal.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59Now, Blues, they beat you with six, so Blues,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01you could be the winners, you could be the winners.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- I feel good, I feel good. - Oh, it depends on the Yellow score.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Yellows only got...
0:17:07 > 0:17:0814!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10CHEERING
0:17:10 > 0:17:12They smashed you, mate! They smashed you out the park!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So, the Yellows get ten points. Well done, yellows.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- COWBOY ACCENT:- This round is all about quick reactions.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37The sort of super-fast, lightning-quick reactions that
0:17:37 > 0:17:40our teams possess are too speedy,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44even for my amazing monkey eyes to judge, hee-hee-hee!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yu-huck, yu-huck!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's time...
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- VOICE SLOWS:- ..for the Slowmonizer.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yep, this supercool camera records in super...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- SLOWLY:- ..very slow motion,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- NORMALLY:- ..so that I can accurately see who the winner is.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yee-ha, hee-hee-hee!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Now then, one member from each team is going to stand in a line.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10On the sound of this week's random sound of Dr Brain...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Yee-ha!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15..they must grab their squirty foam tube and fire.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Ksssh!
0:18:16 > 0:18:20The winner is the foam-slinger that squirts first.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Yee-ha! Foam-slingers, stand by!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27DRAMATIC WESTERN MUSIC
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Ready?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Yee-ha!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:18:39 > 0:18:42The laboratory has been well and truly foamed.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Oh, and it's three super-quick draws there.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47They all squeezed the cream in record time,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50but whose squirty dairy splurge was over the line first?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Teams, who do you think was the quickest?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well, you know what? There's only one way to find out, as they say.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58It's a foamy quandary for sure.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02We've got to activate the Slowmonizer!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Here we go, then, let's have a look.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Oh, they're all pretty quick off the draw there, but look at this,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12yes, it's the Green Team's green stream that crosses the line first.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14What a close shave!
0:19:14 > 0:19:19The cream from the Green is the winner!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Well done, fantastic.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Let's see her moment of victory again. There it is.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Fantastic, well done. What's it done to the scores?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Well, that would have given them another five points,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31which puts them on ten with the Yellows. Blues have got none.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Right, this next challenge is all about balloons.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I love balloons! I love them.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I wanted a balloon for my birthday, but my mummy misheard me
0:19:44 > 0:19:45and got me a bassoon by mistake.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- HE SOBS - I said, "You've ruined my party!"
0:19:49 > 0:19:51She told me, "Stop blowing things out of proportion."
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Blowing, get it? Ha-ha-ha!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55CHICKEN CLUCKS, TOILET FLUSHES
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Oh, it's not supposed to sound like that.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Ha-ha, fine! Let's get on with it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Each team will have 45 seconds to burst as many balloons as possible.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Now, there are only 16 balloons for each team to get through, OK?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Sounds pretty easy, right, teams?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- ALL:- Yes. - "Yeah, we can do that. Yeah, yeah."
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Well, actually, it's not that simple.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Not on a show like Ultimate Brain!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Now, the teams must use the items provided to attempt to burst
0:20:21 > 0:20:22the balloons.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The object that you are touching can touch the balloon
0:20:25 > 0:20:28but your hand can't. Do you get it?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- ALL:- Yes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32OK, teams, you have three minutes to use all your cunning
0:20:32 > 0:20:35to decide how you might use these items to burst the balloons.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Ready, go!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39KLAXON
0:20:40 > 0:20:42The teams need to choose wisely.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Remember, they must not touch the balloons with their hands.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Bang, bang, bang!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Yes, or they could just go for the sharpest object.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Or simple brute force.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Or they could realise that one of the objects has a super
0:20:57 > 0:21:01scientific, balloon-bursting secret. Mwah-ha-ha! But which one?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04KLAXON
0:21:04 > 0:21:07That's it, that's it, time is up!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Now, make an old monkey proud,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12what did you come up with, teams?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Let's start with the Greens. What are you going to use?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- We are going to use a spork. - Ah, I like it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Shall we do it?- Yes. - Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24KLAXON
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Oh. Give it a push, give it a proper push.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Can't touch it you with your hands, you remember.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35That's it, right. Very good.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Very good work. That's it, go on, get in there, son.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40THEY CHEER
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Oh, the spork is proving effective for the Supersonic Cybernetics
0:21:43 > 0:21:46but they're having trouble stabilising the balloons
0:21:46 > 0:21:48to get enough bursting pressure.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Five seconds to go, I think. - Two hands. Use two hands.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- That's it, good work.- You can control it easier with two hands.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- KLAXON - And that's your time up!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Out of the 16 balloons there's 4 less.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Which means...you scored...
0:22:05 > 0:22:08carry the 3, - 2, ¸ 12... 12.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Well done, Greens, are you pleased with that?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Yes!- Yeah, well done.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Right, well, let's see how the next team do.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Blues, what have you chosen?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Oranges.- You've got two, but that counts as one item,
0:22:20 > 0:22:21cos they're both the same.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So we're good to go. You have 45 seconds starting now.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- KLAXON - Go on, Ed.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28THEY CHEER
0:22:30 > 0:22:32THEY CONTINUE CHEERING
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Keep going, keep going!- You do it, my arms are getting tired!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Oh, his arm's getting tired.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Well, after a terrifically zesty start,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Team All Over The Place get over eager and accuracy suffers.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45HE SCREAMS
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- That's it!- What are you doing?! No, let me take over.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51But what's going on here?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53As the oranges get juicy,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57the balloons start bursting without even being hit?! Is this magic?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Or is it science? I'll give you a clue, it's not magic.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02More on that later.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03More oranges!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Get it, get it, get it!
0:23:05 > 0:23:07CHEERING
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- BELL RINGS - Yes!
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- Yes!- Marvellous.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well, you got all 16 there, Blues.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18And it was a proper team effort. But can the next team conquer the game?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Let's have a look.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yellows, you've got to get them all
0:23:21 > 0:23:25to stand a chance of even equalising. What are you using?
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Chopsticks.- Chopsticks, good old chopsticks. You ready?- Yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Well, let's do it, then. Start now.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32KLAXON
0:23:32 > 0:23:33You have 45 seconds, remember.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35THEY CONFER
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Put it down on the table and stab it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38You need to get a good jabbing motion.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Remember, you can't touch it with your hands. That's it. Right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43One down. Oh, good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45After a shaky start, Ye Olde Household
0:23:45 > 0:23:48seem to have hit upon the perfect method.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Stabilising the balloon with one chopstick
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and bursting it with the other.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Might try that next time me and GP have a bit of sushi.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Choptastic stuff.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Very good.- Put it down on the table!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Try the method that Dr Johnny was doing.- Oh, forget it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Oh, but hold on here,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09that was definitely hand to balloon from Dr Oliver there, oh, and there.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Referee's not going to be happy. Oh, and another one there.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Now this is... Oh, dear, those balloons won't count, I'm afraid.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Go, go, go!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19BELL RINGS
0:24:19 > 0:24:20CHEERING
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Unfortunately, you did manage to break all the balloons
0:24:23 > 0:24:26but for four of them, your hand was touching the balloon
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and the last one, I'm afraid, was out of time.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33So that means you only get 11. I'm sorry about that, Yellows.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36My nerves are in tatters after all that balloon bursting.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Well, Blues, you really were at your balloon-bursting best there,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41weren't you? Brilliant. Congratulations.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:24:43 > 0:24:46The method of Team All Over The Place clearly worked the best
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and not just because of their enthusiastic aggression.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51The naturally occurring oil in the skin of oranges actually
0:24:51 > 0:24:54dissolves the plastic of balloons.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58That was our scientific, balloon-bursting secret. Mwah-ha!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And now you know, keep it to yourself, yeah?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:02 > 0:25:04You get 10 points.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Well done!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It's anyone's game on Ultimate Brain.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Yes, it is the Quick Fire Round.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So, it's points to play for and all those
0:25:24 > 0:25:27points are ready for the taking, thinkers.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So, hands on desks, teams. Are you ready for this?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- ALL:- Yes! - Shall we do it?
