0:00:02 > 0:00:04Dr Brain, I've heard some rumours that I'm going to get flattened
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- by some boulders today. Is that true?- Well, possibly. Oh!
0:00:07 > 0:00:08That reminds me. Right.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11What band do boulders like the most?
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Boulders. Well, boulders, do they listen to music?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Because I've spoken to a few boulders
0:00:17 > 0:00:19and normally they just keep quiet.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21They're very good listeners, boulders. I'm not too sure.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Maybe I should go and ask a few. I've seen a few around.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- I'm going to go and ask them what they...- It's a joke! Oh.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's get on with the show.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Rock on!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Are you ready for this fiery experiment?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Which team can keep GP from being bowled over
0:00:41 > 0:00:44in our creative challenge?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48And who will bring home gold by coming last at our slow race?
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's get to it!
0:00:51 > 0:00:56This is Ultimate Brain!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00HE LAUGHS
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Good to see you again.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I tell you what I want, what I really, really, really want.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I've got a zigaziggy, I've got a zigazig-ooh
0:01:06 > 0:01:08but I haven't got a zigazig-ah.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I can't find one anywhere. Can't get them these days.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Yes, it's girl power day!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We're going to see if we can find the next great female scientist
0:01:15 > 0:01:19to follow in the footsteps of people like Marie Curie with her X-rays,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Rosalind Franklin with her DNA.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23HE LAUGHS You go, girl!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25# Really, really wanna zigazig-ah. #
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Let's meet the teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29First up, our girls in green from Lancashire, it's...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Dressed in yellow and feeling mellow, it's...
0:01:40 > 0:01:41From Birmingham.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And representing women of the world,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47well, CBBC,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50in blue The Next Step's Ella,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Hetty of Feather, AKA Isabel
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and Millie of Inbetween.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57# And girls they wanna have fun... #
0:01:57 > 0:01:59SINGS: Girls just want to have fun.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- # Oh, girls just want to have fun. # - Ooh, girls just want to have fun.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Yes, apart from when they're discovering things,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09inventing things, becoming great politicians and scientists
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and businesspeople and we have some of the greatest female minds
0:02:12 > 0:02:16in the land in this very studio today. Shall we meet them?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Let's do it. Beginning with the Blues. How are you, Blues?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- We're good.- Good, thanks. - We're good.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23It's good to see you here.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Celebrities!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Real celebrities here in my very own studio.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28HE CHUCKLES
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Now then, Dr Ella, I happen to know that a very good friend of mine,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37my pet, Mr Guinea Pig, is a very big fan of your show, The Next Step.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Amazing.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And he'd just like to show you a few moves. Would you mind?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43No, that's absolutely fine. Go ahead.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, that is very kind of you. Take it away, GP.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Oh, brilliant.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Look at him go!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Right. I think that was good energy, but I think you might need to
0:02:58 > 0:02:59point your toes a little bit more.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01That might get you that edge further.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Do you think he'd make it to Nationals?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Maybe. Just try a tiny bit harder. - My best dance moves.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08But I think you have the focus to get there, definitely.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Marvellous. And, Blues, what's your team name?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Groovy.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Yellows, how you doing?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- We're good.- Good.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Good to meet you. Now, Dr Olivia, how are you feeling today?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Confident at all?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Very. Because due to the fact that Mars is in a certain position today
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and also because out of all of the episodes of this show I've seen,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I think our team have been better than all of the other teams,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36we are sure to win.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37I'm a little bit frightened.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I'm almost being knocked over with your confidence.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Good luck, you Yellows. What's your team name?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47HE LAUGHS
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Greens, how you doing?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Good, thanks.- Great.- Good. - Where are you from?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- ALL:- Lancashire.- Lancashire.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57IN LANCASHIRE ACCENT: Oh, yeah. I know somebody from Lancashire,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00a very good friend, Professor Brian Cox.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Do you think that he would think
0:04:02 > 0:04:04that you are some of the wonders of the universe?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I think he might. You're absolutely marvellous.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Now, one of you, I hear, would like to be a radio presenter.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Which one is it? - Me.- It's you, isn't it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Why do you want to be a radio presenter?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Cos I like music and I like talking to people.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Well, that's a perfect combination then, isn't it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Could you do all the buttons as well?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Switch on the music and all that?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Perhaps you could give us a little go. Perhaps something like,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29"Good morning, you're listening to BBC Radio Brain." Give it a go.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Good morning, you're listening to BBC Radio Brain.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Perfect. I'd like to wake up to that.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Have a little cup of coffee, go for a little drive.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Fantastic, Greens!
0:04:38 > 0:04:39What's your team name?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Brilliant!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44These teams are going to have to be on the ball today
0:04:44 > 0:04:47because this is the show with a need for speed,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49a craving for creativity
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and a demand for ingenious ideas and inventions.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's time for the warm-up.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Not that type of warm-up, GP.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Bring me my questions!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04OK, folks, it's the warm-up round.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Don't forget, all these points count. Are you ready?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Take five, times it by four
0:05:10 > 0:05:13add six and divide that by two.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Mini Einsteins.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- 13.- 13.- Is right.- Yes!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What word am I spelling backwards?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Mini Einsteins.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Habitat.- Correct.- Yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29What is this sound?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32RUMBLING AND CRASHING NOISE Scientific Sleuths.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Earthquake.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37No, it's a bowling ball rolling and hitting some pins. Unlucky.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38How many letters are there
0:05:38 > 0:05:40in the word "momentum"?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Groovy Gravity Girls.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Seven.- No! It's eight. THEY LAUGH
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Now, put yourselves in order of when your birthday is,
0:05:48 > 0:05:49the earliest at this end
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and the latest at that end
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and when you've done it, press your brain.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Mini Einsteins.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Now, Greens have buzzed, let's have a look.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Yes! You're right.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Well done, Greens.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We were already in this order.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02HE LAUGHS
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Greens are rocketing ahead. Zoom!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15HUMS: Fire, da-da-da don-don.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Fire, don-don-don.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Yes, I've got my protective gloves on today
0:06:19 > 0:06:23which can only mean one thing - I'm going to do an experiment with fire.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Which, of course, is very different to playing with fire,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29which is not something very clever to do
0:06:29 > 0:06:32so don't do it at home!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So, now then, teams,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38what I have in front of me here is an enormous meshy cage.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40A tubular meshy cage
0:06:40 > 0:06:43and in the middle is a little receptacle there
0:06:43 > 0:06:44with some fuel in it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now, what I'm going to do is set fire to the fuel
0:06:49 > 0:06:53and then I'm going to spin the cage around
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and I want you to tell me what's going to happen.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Will it be A, the flame will spread out to the edges of the meshy tube?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Or will it be B,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06the spinning will extinguish the flame and knock it out?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Will it be C, the orange flame will change colour
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and start to glow green?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Or will it be D, something else?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Something only you
0:07:16 > 0:07:18or even you have thought of.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Your thinking time starts now. BUZZER SOUNDS
0:07:22 > 0:07:23What do you think is going to happen?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I think it will make like a fire tornado
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- so it'll spread to the edges.- Yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Our teams have got four choices.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Because the spinning force might go up through the top and down
0:07:32 > 0:07:34pressuring it to go up.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Will this fire up their imaginations?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Fire up their... HE LAUGHS
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- More oxygen, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah.- So...
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Five seconds.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46BUZZER SOUNDS
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That's it. That's it. Your thinking time is up.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's see your answers now.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Put them up, put them up, put them up.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Oh! A, A, A.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Aye?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00So, you've all gone for A.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02OK, Yellows, let's start with you.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Why have you gone for A?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07The mesh only has very small holes for the air to get through
0:08:07 > 0:08:09so if it was spinning around,
0:08:09 > 0:08:10it would go in through the top
0:08:10 > 0:08:14therefore pressurising the flame to go around it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Oh, I see.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Like a sort of centrifugal thing.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Oh, OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now then, Greens, you've also gone for A.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22What's your thinking?
0:08:22 > 0:08:28We think that the air like pressure that's inside will push it outwards
0:08:28 > 0:08:30so the fire would spread to the edges.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Ah. Pressure.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34# Ding-ding-ding-ding-didle-din-din Under pressure
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- # Pushing down on me BLUES:- Pushing down on me
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- # Pushing down on you...da-da-da-da - Pushing down on you...do-do-do-do
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- # Under pressure - THEY GIGGLE
0:08:41 > 0:08:43# Do-do-do-doodle-do-do. #
0:08:43 > 0:08:46We love a good old singsong here on Ultimate Brain.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- # Under pressure. # - OK, Greens, thank you.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Now then, Blues, you've gone for A as well.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Well, the fire needs oxygen for it to get bigger
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and if it is spinning around, then it will get more oxygen
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- and then we thought it would get bigger.- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- So, more oxygen will make bigger fire.- Yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04The cavemen discovered that. "More air make fire bigger."
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But is it the right answer?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Well, we're going to find out cos it's time to do the experiment.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Here we go, folks.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13HE LAUGHS
0:09:13 > 0:09:16A step one. Cha-cha-cha
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Hmm-hmm-hmm. Pick it up.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Put it in. Cha-cha-cha.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And light. HE HUMS
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Close the thing. Pom-pom-pom.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And spin.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29And stand back and watch what happens.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- # Fire - HE GASPS
0:09:31 > 0:09:33# I'll take you to burn... #
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Look at that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Isn't it weird? - # Fire... #
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Now then, it's made a tornado.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43As the flame burns,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45the hot rises upwards
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and fresh air is drawn inwards from the side.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50When we turn the wheel, the mesh spins the air
0:09:50 > 0:09:53as it moves into the cage and speeds up and the flame spins
0:09:53 > 0:09:55to form a tornado.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57A tornado of fire.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Which is going to be the name of our new dance show.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01HE LAUGHS
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Touring in all your theatres soon.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Look at that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Isn't it extraordinary?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So, there we are. It was D, something else.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11As in, it makes a tornado.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So, I'm afraid, teams, as beautiful as this is,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16none of you get any points.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Tornado of fire.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21HE LAUGHS
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Well, our teams weren't on fire there. No points.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So, Guinea Pig and I were watching this movie,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35brilliant action film with somebody like Nicolas Cage
0:10:35 > 0:10:38and he was jumping out of helicopters, coming down ropes
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and fighting people with swords and all this kind of stuff
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and jumping across a bridge. Ah!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44And then there was this brilliant bit
0:10:44 > 0:10:46where there were these enormous boulders
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and they were rolling down the hill towards him
0:10:48 > 0:10:51and I said, "Oh, no, GP, what's going to happen?"
0:10:51 > 0:10:53And he said, "I don't know, Dr Brain, what's going to happen?"
0:10:53 > 0:10:55And then...the TV broke.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57So we've no idea what happened.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I said, "Guinea Pig, what are we going to do?"
0:10:59 > 0:11:00And he said, "You know what?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02"There's only one way to find out.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04"Let's make it ourselves!"
0:11:04 > 0:11:08So, I've asked our contestants to come up with some brilliant devices
0:11:08 > 0:11:11to show us what may have happened in the movie.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16I gave them £50 each and two days to come up with their plans.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19GP is teetering on the edge of a precipice
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and three giant boulders 120 centimetres in diameter
0:11:22 > 0:11:24are hurtling towards him at speed.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Boof!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Teams must come up with a way to prevent GP
0:11:27 > 0:11:29from being knocked backwards off his ledge.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31They will need to consider how they might divert
0:11:31 > 0:11:34the path of the boulders and how they might defend GP
0:11:34 > 0:11:36dampening the blow should he get hit.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Managing to keep GP on his feet will be rewarded with 10 points.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43So, shall we see our hero stunt man?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Here he comes. Mr Guinea Pig!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49MUSIC: Indiana Jones Theme Song
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Oh. Oh!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55DR BRAIN LAUGHS Brilliant, Guinea Pig!
0:11:55 > 0:11:56I wish I had some popcorn.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01So, GP, are you ready to face the boulders of doom?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'm ready to be an action Guinea Pig, Dr Brain.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08So, what our teams have got to do is find ways of stopping
0:12:08 > 0:12:14the boulders of fire from knocking GP into the pit of doom.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Luckily, I've raided the BFG's snooker table for this.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Now, let's see what happens when you don't have a plan. Like this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Oh.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:12:24 > 0:12:25# Like a rubber ball
0:12:25 > 0:12:28# I come bouncing back to you
0:12:28 > 0:12:32# Rubber ball I come bouncing back to you. #
0:12:32 > 0:12:34DR BRAIN CHUCKLES
0:12:34 > 0:12:36You look like one of the Mr Men from here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39GP GROANS Let's see the first plan.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It's a good job I'm incredibly strong.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44So, Yellows.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Dr Aaliyah, you're a bit behind on points
0:12:47 > 0:12:48after all that bravado at the beginning.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Do you think this is the plan
0:12:50 > 0:12:52that's going to help you catch up the points?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Yes.- What's it called?
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Bat To The Future.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I like it. Now, what's the scientific principle behind it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- The bat has a wide radius. - Yes, that's good.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Which means that there's more chance that even if it strokes the balls
0:13:06 > 0:13:09then there's more chance that it will actually touch the balls.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Rather than if it was small, then it might miss entirely.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- That's good thinking. - So, what's he wearing on his feet?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19There's some Velcro on the floor and on the bottom of his shoes
0:13:19 > 0:13:23so that he can stick to the floor and become more stable.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Oh, got it all covered.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29The Scientific Sleuths have sent GP into the future with their plan
0:13:29 > 0:13:31giving him a tennis racket shaped
0:13:31 > 0:13:33bat and supers sticky Velcro shoes.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35With its large surface area, the bat
0:13:35 > 0:13:37is provided to help deflect balls.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Velcro is made up of two strips of material
0:13:39 > 0:13:41with tiny stiffened hooks on one
0:13:41 > 0:13:44that click to the tiny matted loops of the softer fibre on the other
0:13:44 > 0:13:46when pressed together giving grip
0:13:46 > 0:13:48to help GP stay in place.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Will GP ace this task or will he get smashed back into the pit below?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- What do you think, GP?- I think this idea is a bit batty, Dr Brain.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Batty! HE CHUCKLES
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Well, let's see if it works. In three, two, one, go!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02BUZZER SOUNDS
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Oh, nearly got him. Here comes the next one.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Two!
0:14:06 > 0:14:07- Go, GP!- Ooh!
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Go on, GP!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11That's right. Keep cheering him on. Here comes number three.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- ALL:- Go on, GP!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Good shot, GP. It's like Wimbledon.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18How did you feel that went, Yellows?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Well.- Well.- Yeah.- I think you might have caught up the points.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Yeah.- Yes.- Yeah.- Well, let's find out when we see the next plan.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So, Blues, what's the name of your plan?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's called The Great Almighty Protective Warrior,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- AKA The Shield Puncher. - Shield Puncher.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34I like it. The Shield Puncher.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37We've got the foam to deflect the ball away from him
0:14:37 > 0:14:38so that it doesn't hurt Guinea Pig
0:14:38 > 0:14:40and then you've got the punch to punch it away
0:14:40 > 0:14:41so he can defend himself.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Oh, very good, a double-pronged attack.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Yeah, exactly.- I like that, Blues.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Groovy Gravity Girls have got punchy with their plan
0:14:48 > 0:14:49with a boxing glove fist on a stick
0:14:49 > 0:14:53teamed up with a padded shield to absorb impact should GP get hit.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56He might be able to see those boulders coming through his window
0:14:56 > 0:15:00but we'll GP be able to deflect them and smack them into oblivion?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01What do you think, GP?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It's a knockout idea, Dr Brain.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05HE LAUGHS So, let's give it a go.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Three, two, one, go! BUZZER SOUNDS
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Go, Guinea Pig!- Push it away! - Punch it!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Here comes number two.- Go on, GP!
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- ALL:- GP, GP, GP, GP.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Here comes the third. - Whoo! Go on, GP!- Go on, GP!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Punch it!- Punch it!- Nearly got him. - Yay!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Oh, oh, oh! He's toppling. He's toppling.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Is he going?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Ooh, that was close.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- You did it, well done, Blues. - Whoo! Yes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Nice one. It worked pretty well, didn't it? Are you happy?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- ALL:- Yes.- Very.- Good.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Let's see the next plan.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Time to see if the Greens are on the ball.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41What's the name of your plan?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- ALL:- Diamond Dodge.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Now, what does it involve?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- The top of a diamond...- Yes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50..and we're hoping that when the giant balls come down,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- then they will go either side of him.- Ah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57And he also has sucker shoes so he can keep on the ledge.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I like your thinking. How do you feel, GP?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01All right? Hello.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You're a bit silly, aren't you?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yes.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06He can't hear a thing.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Mini Einsteins have come up with the Diamond Dodge,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12a sturdy shield that GP can manoeuvre to deflect boulders.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Like the Blues, they provided a look-out window
0:16:14 > 0:16:18and like the Yellows, they've got an underfoot plan to keep GP sturdy.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21This time giving him shoes with super-suckers
0:16:21 > 0:16:23which with less air inside than out utilise pressure
0:16:23 > 0:16:26to keep GP's feet stuck to the surface beneath.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Will this plan prove to be a cut above the rest?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Or will that heavy shield bring GP crashing down to earth?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Right, let's see it in action. Here we go.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Three, two, one, Geronimo!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- BUZZER SOUNDS - Come on, GP!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- ALL:- Yay! - Oh, oh, nearly got him.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Here comes number two. - Come on, GP!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Come on, GP!- Oh, oh.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- ALL:- Yay!- He's teetering, he's tottering, and he's still there.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Number three. The final ball.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Come on, GP!- Ah!- Aw!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Down he goes.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- THEY GIGGLE - It looks ridiculous.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's a failure for you and a big laugh for me.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Greens, oh, no, it didn't quite come off. Unlucky.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07How do you feel?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- ALL:- Sad.- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12What a great round that was.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Guinea Pig was literally bowled over by that...
0:17:15 > 0:17:16HE LAUGHS
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It was really rock and roll.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Ha, rock and roll!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And other such jokes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So, then, teams,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26they were pretty good plans you came up with there, I thought.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Unfortunately, Greens, right on the last boulder,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31over he went into the pit.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Why do you think that happened? What went wrong?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- He didn't do it properly. - You're blaming him.- Yes.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Oh, dear, Guinea Pig.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You got it wrong again and it's all your fault
0:17:41 > 0:17:44that the Greens, unfortunately, get no points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- I'm sorry about that.- Aw.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So, Blues and Yellows, you managed it, didn't you?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52You kept him on there, steady as a rock,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54which means you both get 10 points!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57THEY CHEER
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Well, I'm glad they're happy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Let's see what that does to the scores.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Blues and Yellows take the lead.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's his favourite round. The split second round.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Now, I went to see a therapist the other day
0:18:14 > 0:18:16because I've developed rather a phobia of balloons.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19They really make the jump, even the word balloon makes me jump.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Balloon. Ah! What did I do that to myself for?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So, she said to me, "You know what you need to do to get over it?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26"You've got to face your fear.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30"Get three people to pop balloons as quickly as they can
0:18:30 > 0:18:32"and it will all be gone and you'll feel fine."
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, that's what we're going to do.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37So, on the sound of the signal, which is the guinea pig squeal,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40which sounds a little like this... SQUEAK
0:18:40 > 0:18:43they're going to pop their balloons as quickly as they can
0:18:43 > 0:18:47and the fastest one is the winner. Are you ready, teams?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- ALL:- Yes. - SQUEAK
0:18:50 > 0:18:52AAMNA LAUGHS
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well... HE CHUCKLES
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Good glittering gracious, what a noise.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Come on, Yellows, catch up. There we go.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It's 10 points for the Greens.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03THEY CHEER
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well done, you Greens.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Ah, and I got over my fear of balloons.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09LOUD BANG Ah! Oh, no, I haven't.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Oh, well. Let's pop on to today's inspiration challenge.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Our teams are each going to be given a ball like this
0:19:21 > 0:19:25in two halves which can be placed together like so.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Now, they've got all sorts of stuff here
0:19:29 > 0:19:33that they can put inside or outside the ball to make it go slow.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36But why would they want to make it go slow? I hear you ask.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Well, over here we have our race track.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Green, blue, yellow.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And once they've made their balls, what we're going to do
0:19:44 > 0:19:47is race them down the tracks but this is a different kind of race.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52The one who comes last wins but their ball must get to the end.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56It can't just stop, it has to move but very, very slowly.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58HE LAUGHS What do you think, GP?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59It looks pretty good, right?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Looks fantastic, Dr Brain.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Do you think even you could do it, GP?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07MUSIC: Chariots Of Fire Theme Song
0:20:07 > 0:20:11It's the ball that needs to go slow, not you, Guinea Pig.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Oh. Let's see if our teams are any more inspired.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Three, two, one, go!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Now! BUZZER SOUNDS
0:20:18 > 0:20:21So, how to slow the ball down.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Elastic bands around it then it will, like, cause friction.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Something sticky on the outside. - So, we need to get honey, I think.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Inside, sugar inside?- Sugar inside.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Yeah, I think you'll find that's sand.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Yellows thinking along the same line as the Greens there.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Elastic bands round it so that slows down so it isn't round and rolling.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- And you have to make it as heavy as possible.- And also Blu-Tack as well
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- in random places so it's sticky.- OK. We have to make it heavy as well.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Do something, Greens.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Just chuck it in the baked beans.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51THEY LAUGH
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- What are you doing? - Well, that certainly is something.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Just chuck it in the baked beans.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58We have to put as much stuff in it as possible.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Halfway through your time now.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Sand.- Right, honey on the outside.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Yeah, and then some beans.- Honey on the outside.- And then beans.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Remember, the task is to get to the end of the track last.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10What are we going to stick on the outside with it, though?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Elastic bands.- Beans in the middle, why are we putting beans inside?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Oh, no, no! That's...- Hurry. - Put this.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Sand sticks to it now. Ew.- Messy.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- 10 seconds.- Quick, quick. No more.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- It's so sticky.- 10 seconds to go.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Ugh!- Oh, sorry, I got it in your hair!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- The ball won't shut. - Shall we test it?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Mmm. Look at all of that lovely honey.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- Let's test. - BUZZER SOUNDS
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- That's it. Time up. - It's not even closed.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44And here we are at the Ultimate Brain Grand Prix.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46They're under starter's orders.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49But first of all, Greens, I'm sensing some positivity.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- You're feeling good, aren't you? - Yes.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53What do you think you've done so well?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Put lots of beans and sand on it
0:21:55 > 0:21:56and got very messy.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Yellows, on the other hand, you're not quite so sure, are you?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- No.- No.- I think we made a mistake.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I think we put too much honey in
0:22:03 > 0:22:07because the purpose of the honey was to make the sand stiff.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I think we put in too much so now it's just runny.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Oh, well, I guess we will find out, won't we?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Blues, you haven't got a clue, have you?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- See what happens. - We'll just see what happens.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Ready for this, Guinea Pig? - I'm ready, Dr Brain.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Ready, set, go.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- BUZZER SOUNDS - Oh, no.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Oh!- We win!
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Well, after some very creative and messy thought,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33unfortunately, it's failure all round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34In order to slow them down,
0:22:34 > 0:22:39you all tried to make your balls weightier and stickier
0:22:39 > 0:22:40to add more friction.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43But, unfortunately, it was a little bit too much
0:22:43 > 0:22:44and they just stood there
0:22:44 > 0:22:46but they needed to get to the end of the track.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Yellows, honey was good
0:22:48 > 0:22:52but unfortunately the sand has sort of turned it into a little solid
0:22:52 > 0:22:54and it is kind of a dead weight
0:22:54 > 0:22:56so that didn't go anywhere, unfortunately. Unlucky.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Now, Blues, what was your biggest mistake?- Honey.- The honey.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Yeah, the honey.- The honey on the outside was our biggest mistake.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Too much.- We couldn't keep it shut and it fell open.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- You put it on before you closed it, didn't you?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09So you couldn't quite get it shut. It was doomed from the start,
0:23:09 > 0:23:10unfortunately.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Greens.- We put nothing inside.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And that, my friends, was your biggest mistake.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Putting nothing in the middle and all on the outside.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Now, take a look at this.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Down it goes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- That works a lot better.- That works. - It's going.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It's going.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31It's going very slowly, do you see?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35SPEAKS SLOWLY: Go...on, that's...it.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38You're...going...to...win.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41No team chose to use the heavy metal ball
0:23:41 > 0:23:44but put it inside the plastic ball with lots of honey
