Ultimate Vets & Brainy Pets Ultimate Brain

Going to be a good show today.

Pudsey the dog, Johnny and Inel from Junior Vets.

Oh, that reminds me, how do you make a goldfish old?

My goldfish got really old.

I had Jaws for, like, 20 years.

We used to play together.

We used to play, like, video games and football and, like,

he used to... He used to watch me paint,

he used to swim around his little bowl.

We used to have a really good conversations and then...

HE CRIES

Oh, dear. Oh, I've set him off.

Can Guinea Pig catch a break in our waterballoon drop?

Who will win this speed of light pillow fight?

And can our teams break the ice or will they get brain freeze?

Get those magnificent minds at the ready, it's time for...

Hello, there. Bonjour. Guten tag.

HE BARKS

Sorry, I didn't tell you I can speak dog, did I?

I've been practising all week for my new special guest.

There he is. Hey, Puds.

I've got a joke for you.

What do you get if you cross a woof with a grr?

HE WHINES

Oh, you've heard it.

First up, in glorious green from Barnsley...

Next, wonderful, from the North West and wearing yellow...

And bouncing into the lab, it's our vets and pets in blue...

..and the amazing BGT winners...

So, it's time to meet the teams,

starting with the Blues.

-How are you, Blues?

-Very good, thank you.

-Feeling good, pretty confident.

There's something about you that brings out the animal in me -

I wonder why that could be. So, Dr Pudsey, how are you feeling?

Oh, pretty happy, I think, yes, I like that. That's a confident look.

And, Dr Ashleigh,

have any other favourite animals?

-Horses.

-Horses.

-Anything but cats.

-Anything but...

-Mmm.

-Don't say cats. Don't say cats.

What about you, your favourite animals?

He's a lovely, got to say that, and gorillas.

-Gorillas?

-Perfect pet line-up, for me, a gorilla and a dog.

What about half man, half orang-utans?

-You like them?

-Not so much.

Oh, you're not going to be very popular on this show.

Well, it's good to see you.

Good luck in the game. What's your team name?

Yellows, how are you?

-Yeah.

-Good.

-Very good.

-Where are you from?

-Liverpool.

Where the Beatles came from. # Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. #

Now, then, Dr George, if you wanted to invent something,

what would it be?

A sock finding machine because I always lose my socks.

I look forward to seeing that invention. What's your team name?

Mindbots. Good, robotic science name.

Greens.

-Where you from?

-Barnsley.

Up north, mate, that is, Barnsley.

Very nice. Now, then,

Dr Kitty, I think it you feel quite comfortable around animals.

-Is that right?

-Yes.

-And why is that?

I absolutely love dogs and I can't wait to be a vet when I'm older.

I like them so much, I just want to help out in any way I can.

You just like helping animals.

Oh, that's nice. Well, if Pudsey gets in trouble, you can help him.

And me. Nice to meet you. What's your team name?

And you're going to need to be rising stars

to succeed on this show

because this is the show with a need for speed,

a craving for creativity and a desire for ingenious inventions.

Yes! And it's time for the warm-up.

SAMBA MUSIC PLAYS

Not that type of warm-up, GP.

Bring me my questions of gold.

Thank you very much. Are you ready?

-Yes!

-We're ready.

Here we go.

Take 100, divide it by four then add five and a divide that by three.

Rising Stars.

-10.

-Is the right answer!

What word am I spelling backwards?

Mindbots.

-Electricity.

-Electricity is right!

What is this sound?

MEOW!

Rising Stars.

-Cat.

-It's a cat!

Steady, Pudsey.

How many letters are there in the word environment?

Mindbots.

-Nine.

-Ooh, not quite right.

Rising Stars.

-10.

-No, I'm afraid it's 11.

Now, put yourselves in order

of the size of the little finger on your left hand.

Smallest this side, going to the biggest.

Press the buzzer when you've done it.

Mindbots.

Mindbots, let's look. Let's see your little fingers.

Put them all together, please.

Yes, well done, you Yellows.

Marvellous stuff. Well, well done, the Yellows.

Well done, the Greens. Er, Blues...

ASHLEIGH LAUGHS

-You've got work to do.

-It's fine, it's the first round.

-Yeah, yeah!

-We're just warming up.

Pudsey knew the answers, of course, but he was keeping schtum.

He didn't want to embarrass his fellow team-mates, did you, Puds?

Good lad. Four points apiece for the Greens and Yellows.

Blues have some catching up to do.

Go back. Yeah.

Close. Close.

Ready?

Beg. Beg.

Speak.

HE BARKS

-Good boy. Well done.

-See that!

What he actually said there was Newton's third law of motion in dog.

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Ruff!

Brilliant. Thanks for that, Dr Pudsey.

Now, then, on with the experiment.

I have here in front of me an enormous vat of liquid nitrogen.

-Know anything about it?

-It's really, really, really, really, really cold.

Really, really, really, really cold. Yes.

Now, then. What I'm going to do, is I have here...

My pipe sabre.

My question to you is what happens when I plunge this room temperature

metal pipe into this vat of liquid nitrogen,

which is at approximately minus 200 degrees Celsius?

Is it A - will the pipe freeze and shatter?

B - will the pipe create a sort of misty fountain?

C - will the pipe make a high-pitched whistling noise?

HE WHISTLES

Don't worry, Pudsey.

Or D - something else?

Ooh! The mystery option.

Your thinking time starts...

now!

CHATTER

What will plunging the pipe into liquid nitrogen do?

Time's nearly up, folks.

Have you thought of your answer?

SIREN

That's it. You're thinking time is up.

Let's see your answers now.

Right, OK, you Yellows, let's start with you. You've gone for B.

When it's cold and you breathe out,

you see this kind of this misty, kind of, cold air,

so we thought it might be a bit like that with the pipe.

-You see your own breath, don't you?

-Yeah.

-Greens.

You have gone for the same answer,

-why would that be?

-Because there's a large container of liquid nitrogen

because it's so cold, steam will rise off it,

and because the pipe's in it, the steam will go up the pipe.

-It'll come out the top.

-Oh, I see, so I sort of temperature reaction.

Good thinking. Oh, right. Now, then.

-Blues.

-I think I remember this from science.

THEY LAUGH

I think it's to do with when something's cold, it contracts.

-Oh, yes.

-And if it contracts but then it comes out to different

pressure, it might make the particles shake.

Oh, and then is going to cause a vibration.

-A vibration, yeah.

-Oh, which might cause the whistling, I see.

This is all of Johnny's idea.

Well, Pudsey, do you agree with that?

Do you think C?

HE BARKS

I think Pudsey's embarrassed of our team, to be honest.

Right, well, let's find out, shall we?

Spectacles, please, Dr Bethany. Thank you very much.

Right, here we go.

Three, two, one...

Lid off.

Here we go.

Look at that. Whooo!

Spooky. Isn't it marvellous?

A misty, misty fountain of magic.

When we placed the room temperature pipe into the vat,

it's still much hotter than the liquid nitrogen,

which is around minus 200 degrees Celsius.

Chilly!

As the liquid nitrogen enters the hollow tube,

the heat causes it to start to boil off and evaporate upwards.

This reaction happened so quickly that the evaporating nitrogen

shoots up the tube and billows out into a fountain of mist.

There you go then - B!

Hold on, I think I can hear something.

No, you couldn't, mate.

THEY WHISTLE

No, no.

So, you Blues, you don't get nothing, mate.

Nothing! But, you Yellows and Greens, ten points each!

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Well done to you.

It's becoming a two-horse race.

Come on, Blues!

So, when I heard that we had my good friend Pudsey coming on the show,

I got so excited and I said, "We've got to have a party!"

And little Louis Walsh, who's always hanging round the laboratory,

said, "Let me do something, Dr Brain. I want to do something.

I love Pudsey. He's amazing, everyone's going to vote for him."

I said, "All right, all right. I don't know, fill the balloons."

"I'd love to fill the balloons," he said to me.

"I've filled up the balloons, Dr Brain,

and I've stacked them all against the bathroom window."

And, yes, he has filled them all...

with water!

And the other bathroom window is open

and all of the water filled balloons are falling down,

and I need to find a way to catch them,

so I've asked my teams to devise some contraptions

with which to catch the balloons and not get water everywhere.

I gave them a budget of £50

and two days to come up with their plans.

Teams must think of a way to help GP catch and collect as many of the

falling water balloons as possible without breaking them.

The team with the most water balloons still intact

on Guinea Pig's person at the end of play

will be awarded a ginormous ten honour points.

Yes. He's wet between the ears.

Here he is, my good friend, Mr Guinea Pig.

Ah!

LAUGHTER

-Feel a bit wet, do you?

-I do.

-Woo!

THEY SCREAM

I am standing next to the Mindbots.

What is the name of your plan?

The Parachute Of Power.

It's like a big skirt, but you hold the edges...

-Yes.

-..of it and is padded with foam inside.

It will soften the fall.

Ah, so, you've got two principles going on there?

Big surface area and you're softening the blow, as well.

-And that combination, you think, is going to give you success?

-Yes.

The Parachute Of Power has a large surface area and capacity and

padding to reduce impact as the water balloons land.

Foam is elastic, providing a softer landing than the floor below,

which is rigid due to its intermolecular bonds.

An inner hoop around GP's waist and an outer loop for him to hold,

along with two shoulder straps, will keep the material spread out as he

positions the contraption to catch and keep hold of the balloons.

Guinea Pig, you need to hold it out like forward, like this.

I thought I was getting dressed up to go to the prom, Dr Brain.

DR BRAIN LAUGHS

Are you ready? Three, two, one.

Go, Guinea Pig! Here they come.

Well done, Guinea Pig. On that side.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Ooh, close, close.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Great, great.

Yes. Well done.

Yeah, down there. It's going in the middle again. The middle.

Oh! Well done. Well done.

So, the catching part of it is going quite well.

-I wonder how many are intact.

-OK, in the middle. Oh. Yes!

-Come on, Guinea Pig. Really encourage him.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Yes, the middle again.

-Well done.

-And that one.

-Middle.

-That's a good one.

-Well done.

-Great job, great job.

Oh, that's a good one! Yes. Oh!

-Oh, it's still raining.

-You all right, Guinea Pig?

Down the middle. Down the middle.

-Down the middle.

-All right, aren't they? Splat. Well done. Splat.

Oh, that one nearly got me.

Any more? Quite a lot, isn't there?

KLAXON SOUNDS

There we go.

That's your time.

-Now, Dr Tallon.

-Yes.

How do you think Guinea Pig did?

Really well,

especially at the end, when it started to land on the sides.

-You're pleased with him, are you?

-Yes.

Rising Stars, falling balloons -

sounds like a kung fu movie.

-How are you, Greens?

-Good.

-We're good.

-Looking forward to seeing your plan in action?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-What's its name?

Project Big Shop.

It's a trolley that you push...

-Yes.

-And it has foam covering on the trolley,

so if it bashes or anything,

-it's soft.

-Ah, yes.

So the balloons won't burst.

That will soften the impact, won't it?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-And we've also got water inside the trolley

in order for the balloons to float.

So, you're hoping that rather than hitting the hard surface of the

trolley, the water will somehow take away from that impact?

-Yeah.

-Are you confident?

As long as Guinea Pig listens to us.

Yes, listen to them, Guinea Pig, you heard that?

If you think this is going to work, you must be off your trolley.

Wahey!

Love it. The Rising Stars have turned GP into a savvy shopper

in waterproof clothing.

They hope their padded trolley filled with water will

soften the fall of the balloons as the water matches their density.

The force will be spread out evenly across the surface

of each balloon and, as the water is indented, it acts like a cushion.

With built-in rotating castor wheels on the trolley,

the team are banking on ease of movement.

But, held in a shallow container,

will that water keep in place on his trolley dash

or are those waterproofs going to be put to good use?

Three, two, one, go, GP!

Oh, Guinea Pig! Back in the middle. In the middle.

-Are they staying intact? That's a big question.

-Get that one.

That's a good one. Yes.

Oh, oh, behind you.

-There.

-Yes.

-Intact, which is good.

-Yeah!

-Oh.

Encourage him. Tell Guinea Pig where to go. Come on,

-faster, Guinea Pig.

-Yes!

Come on, you've got to be quicker.

-Got that one, though.

-Yes!

-Oh, missed that one there.

-One there.

-Yes.

-Here.

-It's how quickly he can go.

Oh. Oh, dearie me.

-Yes!

-Oh, now he's starting to slip about a bit, isn't he?

Yeah! Right on the noggin.

-Encourage him.

-Come on, Guinea Pig.

-Come on, Guinea Pig.

Keep moving. That's it.

Stop slacking.

That's it. Keep moving about.

KLAXON

That's it. That's it. Time's up!

Well, Greens, how do you think your plan went?

They kept overflowing.

I think the water was making them come out.

Lots of water. Dr Tessa,

did you like the way that Guinea Pig moved about there or do you think he

-should have done more?

-I think the way Guinea Pig moved was good.

The floor was very slippery because the water was coming over the side.

Ah, yes.

Mind you, the water was having a good effect on the balloons,

wasn't it? It was cushioning the blow.

Oh. Who is this fair young damsel in my pool?

Oh, so beautiful.

My heart...

Oh! Oh, it's Guinea Pig!

Oh!

Feel a bit weird now.

Is this your plan? Yes, it is.

Possibly.

What on earth is he wearing that for?

It's a Project Princess Fruit Bowl Head.

-There we go.

-Oh, I see.

And what is the scientific principle behind this?

Talk us through it, Puds.

Yes. Yes.

-Mm-hmm. Oh, I see.

-Mm-hmm.

Oh, very good. Marvellous. Shall we see it in action?

Hey, what do you think of Guinea Pig there, eh?

He's very pretty.

Do you think so?

How do you feel, GP?

-Embarrassed.

-Well, you shouldn't.

It's the best you've looked in a long, long time, I can tell you.

Pudsey Power have transformed GP

into the prettiest princess in the land.

Like the Mindbots, they've given him a large skirt,

this time supported by sticks, that he can hold up to collect balloons.

They've also provided a fruit bowl hat for secondary catchment and

storage. Will this prove to be the plan's crowning glory or more this

crown of thorns in its side?

Let's see the plan in action.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Three, two, one...

-Go, GP!

-Come on, GP.

Woo! No, no, keep it up.

-Lean back, lean back, lean back.

-There we go.

-Keep it up.

-Ah! Oh, it's broken!

Lift it up with your hands! That's it, pick it up.

ASHLEIGH LAUGHS

-That's it, improvise.

-There you go, there you go, you've got it.

-That's it, lean back a bit.

-Ah.

-Use your head as well.

Don't forget your head. Look, you could have caught that one.

Use your head, son.

-Oh, dearie me.

-This is it. This is it.

-Oh, right on his back.

He loves it, that's it.

-Come on GP.

-Oh, yes!

-Come on GP!

-Yes!

THEY SCREAM EXCITEDLY

-Store them in your fruit bowl!

-Ah, there we go.

-Don't lean back!

-We're getting there, we're getting there.

-Way!

-Yay!

-One for the cameras.

KLAXON

Time up.

Oh, how marvellous.

I'm pretty pleased with that.

-Aren't you?

-Yeah.

The competition was to see how many we could collect

-in the bottom of the...

-Yes.

-We've done quite well, I think.

-I think you've done pretty well, yes.

-At least a dozen in there!

-How did it feel, GP?

-I feel humiliated.

Yes, I'm not surprised.

Shall we see if you've managed to catch any balloons at all?

Oh, there's something in there.

Anything in the fruit bowl? No,

because they all went splish, splosh and splat.

Three different but equally hilarious plans there.

Now, Blues, Pudsey, you must be a bit embarrassed, really, of this.

I can reveal that, Blues, once again, you've managed to fail...

-Oh.

-..with only five, which means no points from this round.

Now, then,

one of you teams got nine balloons

and one of you teams got 22 balloons.

And I can reveal that the winner of this round is...

-The Yellows!

-Yeah!

-Well done, Yellows.

-You pleased?

-Yes. Yeah, yeah, really pleased.

Yes. You've got yourself ten points.

Well done. Let's see if the Blues can catch up.

So far, they've got nothing, mate.

Let's see if they can do any better in the next round.

Pong, ping, pong, pang, pong, ping!

Yes, this is the round that involves lightening fast reactions.

Look at this. Hi!

Ah!

So, you know, in the old days of the Wild West,

what they used to do to settle disputes was a big old pillow fight.

That's right, I know it doesn't sound very dangerous but trust me,

if you're allergic to feathers, it could cause havoc. Atchoo!

So, what our teams have here - one in the front wearing the goggles,

one behind holding a pillow, they will be.

And when they hear the signal, which is the Guinea Pig squeal,

they're going to shonk with the pillow

onto the head and the first one to hit their partner

and make the pillow explode will be the winner.

Everybody clear? Yeah.

Are you ready?

Load...

GUINEA PIG SQUEALS

Oh!

HE LAUGHS

Feathers everywhere.

Fluffy, feathery fun there.

Did you see who swung first?

Atchoo! There we have it.

A clear win for the Blues!

-Yeah!

-Well done.

They needed the points, didn't they?

Let's see it again in slow motion.

We certainly ruffled a few feathers there.

Feather-tastic.

Oh, it looks even better in slow motion, doesn't it?

OK, Blues, you're finally catching up.

But can you do any better in the next round?

Well, you can't deny it, they certainly needed that.

What do you know about ice?

Oh, I know loads about ice,

like that time I got trapped outside the studio

and I froze like a statue.

So, Guinea Pig, our contestants have got to try and melt this ice using

some of these items here or a combination of any of them.

They've got some salt, some sugar, some sand,

a lovely little scarf there,

a scourer, a scrape-y thing that is used in a car.

Now, the water is going to run down into the funnel, into the bowl here.

If there's enough water, the weight will push it down and...

The buzzer will go and that will be the end of their go,

and the one to do it the quickest will win!

# Let it go, let it go. #

Let's hope our teams are a little bit more inspired.

Three, two, one, go!

Maybe get some sugar, Tessa, cos I think this'll make grit.

Greens are adding sand, salt and sugar,

while Yellows are just going for the salt.

-Ready?

-Yeah. Work.

-I really think that'll work.

-Go on.

Chip it! Chip it!

Blues are attacking with salt the scraper and...

-well, pretty much everything, really.

-Scrape it up.

-That's it!

-Look at that.

-And scrape.

-Yeah.

Bringing in a bit of scraper action there from the Greens.

-It's working, guys.

-Yeah, of course it is.

-It's starting to melt.

-That's it. Come on.

-Try sand.

-Oh, no.

Because they use sand on roads, don't they, to melt the ice?

Drawing on practical experience there.

We're trying to make grit, like you get in the winter when it's snowy.

Oh, as are the Greens.

-That's it.

-What's that scarf about?

It's not all about keeping the ice cosy, you know!

That's it. Night-night, icy. Yes.

What? Get on with it!

That's more like it, Blues, all about the attack.

If you put salt on the...on a bit on the bottom.

-Oh, yeah, on the bottom.

-And then use it like a...

How's it going, Pudsey? Yeah, yeah, thought so.

-Using friction there.

-Oh, no, it's halfway.

Chip, chip, chip, chipping away.

-Oh, dear.

-Oh, no.

Yellows using friction, too. They're creating heat with that scourer,

very good.

Oh, Blues have done it!

-BUZZER

-There we go!

Yellows and Greens, though...haven't.

So, what a fascinating challenge that was.

Quite strange, wasn't it?

Quite an odd one, that. Now, I think with you Yellows and Greens,

there was a little bit too much thinking and not quite enough doing,

was there?

But the Blues, you applied a lot of vigour and, let's face it,

sort of violence, really, didn't you?

Now, then...

A lot of people used the salt

-and why was that?

-Because salt is in grit and grit melts the ice.

Well, yes, it lowers the temperature

at which ice melts and becomes water.

That would help.

The scarf doesn't really do anything other than soak up the water.

Not a good plan, unfortunately.

Sugar does a similar thing to the salt, lowering the melting point,

but nowhere near as effectively, and would never have helped you here.

And the sand, the sand doesn't really have any effect on the ice,

it doesn't do what the salt does and change the temperature at all.

The only reason why you use sand come wintertide

is because you get a bit more grip on the floor,

so you don't go wheee and fall over.

But you could have used the sand to have a sort of erosive effect,

like you're using with the scourer,

to rub it and heat up the water there.

That friction would have helped.

Friction, therefore, would create heat, you see?

That would warm up the ice and melt it.

But, really, the best thing to do

would have been increase the surface area of the ice.

If you chipped away at it and made smaller pieces, as some of you did,

and then applied the salt to the smaller pieces,

that would have really, really done it in super-quick time.

So, unfortunately, Yellows and Greens, you didn't manage it.

But the Blues, who are really starting to catch up now,

they did it and get ten points.

Talk about late starters.

Another ten for the Blues.

I'm so excited. This game is so close,

I don't know what's going to happen!

Let's start the quickfire round. Are you ready? Yes!

Hands on brains, here we go.

True or false, the enamel on your teeth

is the hardest thing in your body?

No, you're too late, it's stalactites.

What a nerve-shattering round!

Who's the winner?

Who's got all the honour?

It's time to find out, yes, it's the scores.

And I can tell you that, in third place...

..with 16 points...

It's the Greens. Well done, Greens, give yourself a round of applause.

Well done, you played really well. Well done.

In second place...

with 26 points...

it's the Yellows!

Which means, incredibly, after an appalling start to the game...

with 32 points, it's the comeback kids...

It's the Blues!

Well done, Pudsey. Pudsey won everything.

Well done, Pudsey, and no-one else.

How did you do? Did you get all those questions right?

Did you think of everything?

Did you use your Ultimate Brain?!

See you next time, folks.

Ha-ha, very good. Woof-woof!

Good old Pudsey! Oh,

remember that joke I was telling you before about the goldfish?

One of your cunning jokes again, Dr Brain.

That's right, that's right. How do you make a goldfish old?

-Take away its G!

-Taking away it's G?

How could you, Dr Brain?

No, that makes it... Oh, I don't know why I bother.
