0:00:03 > 0:00:04Hello, it's Brain here.
0:00:04 > 0:00:10Our contestants today have one aim - to beat me. Do you think you could?
0:00:10 > 0:00:13See if you can, by having a go at these puzzling little posers.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Wrecking ball.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Count the missing bricks.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Try this next one - out of this word.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31What three-letter word is missing?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I'll ease the pain by giving you the answers at the end of the show.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now let's see if our team of four have the mental strength to
0:00:40 > 0:00:43win the jackpot on Beat The Brain.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:06And now, let's meet the man who always has my full attention -
0:01:06 > 0:01:08John Craven.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Well, thank you and welcome to a brand-new show, Beat The Brain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Now, this is the quiz that challenges the way your mind works,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17rather than your general knowledge.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20All the tricky puzzles and demanding problems
0:01:20 > 0:01:23that our four contestants will face over the next half hour are designed
0:01:23 > 0:01:27so that you can play along at home as well, so sit back and enjoy
0:01:27 > 0:01:32a mental workout with questions posed by the taskmistress herself.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- How are you today, Brain?- Oh, you know, I'm on fire today, Mr Craven.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- All my Zones are sizzling. I'm ready for action.- And so too are our team.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43They're determined to beat you. So let's meet them.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Please introduce yourselves.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'm Antony and I'm a medical student.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm Sohail and I'm also a medical student.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I'm Nick and I'm also a medical student.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'm Nabeel. I'm the team captain and - you've guessed it -
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I'm also a medical student.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Welcome, all of you, and, Nabeel, where are you all studying?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05We're all at the University of Manchester.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And what name have you come up with for the team?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Well, the team name was picked by Nick
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- and so I think he'll be best to describe.- Well, what is it, Nick?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Well, it's the Nabulisers,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19because Nabeel came up with the idea of actually applying for this show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20He put the application together,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22so I wanted to have his name incorporated in it and we're
0:02:22 > 0:02:24all medical students,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- so I wanted to combine the two and I came up with the Nabulisers.- OK.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Let's see how you do, because this is how it works.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The show's Brain is divided into six Zones -
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Logic, Memory, Orientation, Observation, Language,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39and Multitasking.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Now, the Brain will select four out of those six Zones for you to
0:02:43 > 0:02:46play today and, Nabeel, as the captain, you must decide
0:02:46 > 0:02:50which member of the team you think is best for each of those Zones, OK?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53You will face a series of questions in your Zone with each
0:02:53 > 0:02:57correct answer adding three seconds to what we call your Brain Bank.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And the more time you build up, the better chance you have of beating
0:03:00 > 0:03:05the Brain in today's final and walking away with our jackpot of £3,000.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So, Nabulisers, are you ready to play?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10ALL: Yes, John.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Good. Well, it's time to find out which Zone you'll be facing first.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So, Brain - Zone, please.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Observation.- Observation it is.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So, Nabeel, who are you going to nominate for that?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Well, we discussed beforehand what would be suitable for each player.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Yeah?- And for Observation, I think it was Antony?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- We came up with Antony.- Really? - Yeah.- Did you all agree on that?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38He's the only one that wears glasses, so...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41We'll find out if it's the right decision. Antony, come and join me.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45APPLAUSE
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, why did they think you're going to be good at Observation?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53It's a thin link between glasses and being good at observing things.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56And why did you decide to become a medical student?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00It started really young, when it was like science was interesting
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and then, just as you develop and you get older, like, it was really
0:04:04 > 0:04:08nice when I volunteered and you could see what you could do for people.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Yeah. And you're enjoying it so far? - Yes, it's really good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14See if you enjoy trying to beat the Brain.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16You play two games in this Zone.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Both games have three questions worth three seconds each.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So, Brain, what's the first game?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Hello, Antony.- Hello, Brain.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- A little bird tells me it's your birthday today.- Yes, it may be.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- What year were you born? - I was born in 1994.- Oh, my gosh!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Mr Craven has jumpers older than you!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Yes! So it's your 21st birthday today?- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Well, very many congratulations. - Thanks very much.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- You deserve to beat the Brain. - Hopefully.- We'll wait and see.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Here's a present for you - your first game. Catch me if you can!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Antony, tell me which number plate you saw.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54To help you out, have a trial run.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Which one of those six did you see?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Aw, I've forgotten the end now. Erm...
0:05:09 > 0:05:10HE LAUGHS
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Concentrate. - Um, I believe it was number...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18..six.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Number six, you believe. Let's have a look.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22No, it was number four.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- This is going to go well(!) - Ready to play?- Yeah, why not.- OK.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Let's play for real.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Every correct answer will add three seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Your game starts now.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Which one do you reckon? One, two, three, four, five, six?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Er, number three.- Number three, you say. Is that right?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Yeah, Antony, well done. Yeah. Next one.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Ooh, that was quick. - Er, number one.- Number one.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Well, that didn't faze you, did it? Ready for the last one?- Yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- That was going the opposite way that time.- Er, number four.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Number four, you say.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Is that correct? Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Well, that's pretty good. That's maximum seconds, so far.- Yeah.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Nine seconds into the Brain. That's a very good way to start.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Yeah, just hustled her with a test.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Ready for the next game?- Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Right, off we go.- You hustler!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41THEY LAUGH
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Here's your second game. Wrecking ball.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Count the number of missing bricks. To get your eye in, have a trial run.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58How many bricks have gone?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Er, 13.- 13, you say? Is that right?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06It is indeed. Good. Was that a careful calculation or a guess?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Careful calculation.- Of course, yeah. Ready to calculate some more?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Hopefully.- Off we go.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Your game starts now.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- How many have gone?- 18.- 18, you say.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's correct, yeah. Well done.
0:07:34 > 0:07:3530 seconds left.
0:07:50 > 0:07:5220.
0:07:52 > 0:07:5520, that's correct. You've got 12 seconds left for the last one.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Three seconds. Quickly. Guess. - 21.- 21, you say.
0:08:05 > 0:08:0720. Aw, just one out.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- And you're 21 today!- Yeah! - HE LAUGHS
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Well, you did very well there, didn't you?- Yeah.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- That ain't a bad start for your team, is it, Brain?- No.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Birthday boy, you did very well there, because every second counts.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23You added 15 seconds in that Zone.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27This means the Nabulisers have 15 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Well done. Good to see you. Have a great birthday.- That's all right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34A celebration later, I hope? Rejoin your team-mates.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well, it's time to find out our next Zone now
0:08:36 > 0:08:40and who is going to take it on. So, Brain - the Zone, please.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- Memory.- It's Memory. So, Nabeel. Who's good at Memory?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Well, John, again, we had a clear person for Memory.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59- And I think that would have been Sohail.- Sohail?- Sohail.- Why is that?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well, Sohail, um...
0:09:01 > 0:09:05He's quite famous for not doing any work during our semester,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08during our term, and then somehow miraculously getting a good mark
0:09:08 > 0:09:10at the end and we think it's down to his memory.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Down to his memory. And a bit of late revision!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, come and join me, Sohail, in the Memory Zone.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19APPLAUSE
0:09:19 > 0:09:22That's a pretty fine beard you've got there!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Thank you. I'm quite proud of it! - Didn't you grow...
0:09:26 > 0:09:28was it the moustache for some reason?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Yeah, during Movember, I grew...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34It's quite long now, but I curled it during Movember.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Yeah, sort of twirly bits at the end.- Twirls, yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well, let's see how you do.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Brain, please reveal the first game that Sohail will be playing today.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Hello, Sohail.- Hello, Brain.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Oh, if I had fingers, I'd run them through that beard of yours!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I have no answer for that!
0:09:51 > 0:09:52LAUGHTER
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Here's your first game.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Sohail, repeat the order in which the colours flash.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02To give you some practice, have a trial run.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Green, pink, white and red.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Let's see if you're right.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- You are indeed, yes. No problem there. Ready to play for real?- Yep.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Off we go. Can we have the game, please, Brain?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Your game starts now.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41So, white, purple, green, black, pink.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47White, purple, green, black, pink. Yes, well done. Next one, please.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04So, black, yellow, white, yellow, blue, green.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06See if that's correct.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Black, yellow, white, yellow, blue, green. Yes, well done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Final one coming up.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26So, purple, white, yellow,
0:11:26 > 0:11:31purple, pink, red, green.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Let's have a look and see. Purple, white, yellow...
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Oh, yes, you said purple, didn't you, instead of white?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41And then, pink, red and green were right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Just that one in the middle that you got wrong.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I'm sure I said it right in my head. - You didn't.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- LAUGHTER - Except you didn't. So, ready for game two?- Yep.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Here's your second game.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Identify the winning line in this game of noughts and crosses.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Have a trial run.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Which was the winning line?- A.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13A, you say. Is that correct?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- It is indeed. You play noughts and crosses?- Yeah, I do.- Yeah?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I'm quite good at it. - You obviously are.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Ready for it?- Hopefully. - Bring it on.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Quite good at it, eh? Don't get cocky!
0:12:25 > 0:12:30LAUGHTER Please remember, I'll only accept your first answer.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Your game starts now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I think that's C.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Let's see if you're correct.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Yes, you are.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Good. Next one, please.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Which one do you think? - That one was B.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Let's see if that's right. Yes, well done.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03One to go. So far, every right to be cocky.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12That one's A.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13- A.- Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Is that correct?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- It is indeed. Well done! That was a pretty good round, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Nine seconds in that round. And six in the one before.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- So, Brain, it's looking bad for you. - Absolutely.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I fear my jackpot could be in jeopardy.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Sohail, you added 15 seconds in that zone.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35This means in total the Nabulisers now
0:13:35 > 0:13:37have 30 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- That was great, Sohail. Well done. - Thank you.- Please, rejoin the team.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43APPLAUSE
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Well, you're all doing very well so far.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Brain, can we have a zone, please?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Multi-tasking. So, is it you or Nick, Nabeel?- We'll go for Nick.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Nick, join me, please. - APPLAUSE
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Do you think you're going to be any good at Multi-tasking?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I do hope so, otherwise this is going to be really embarrassing.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Do you do a lot of multi-tasking? - Um... No, actually.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Is it too late to change?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16No, we'll be good.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Well, let's find out, Nick, how you'll do in the Multi-tasking Zone?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Don't forget, there are another 18 precious seconds on offer in this Zone.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26That's three seconds for every correct answer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29So, Brain, please reveal the first game that Nick will be playing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- Hello, Nick.- Hey, Brain. - Here's your first game.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Nick, count the named object on the left, add the numbers on the right.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You can warm up with a trial run.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Count the carrots and add the numbers.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, how many carrots and what was the total?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Four carrots and a total of seven, I think.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Four and seven.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Four and 11.- Wow! That's the easiest one as well, isn't it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I always find... I don't know whether you do this or not, but add up
0:15:07 > 0:15:11the objects on the left on your hand and add up the numbers in your head.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Yeah. That's what I thought I did. - Is that what you were trying to do?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Yeah! Must have blacked out.- Maybe you'll be luckier, as we play for real.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Ready to go?- Let's do this, John. - Give it a go. Let's go.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Please remember, Nick, I can only accept your first answer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Every correct answer will add three seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Your game starts now.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Count the ice creams and add the numbers.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44How many ice creams and what was the total?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Two and a total of 11, I think. - Two and 11. Are you right?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Yes, you are. Well done.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- OK, next one coming up. - Count the dogs and add the numbers.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- How many dogs, what was the total? - Four dogs, total of 22?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Four and let's see...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Four and 22, yes. You're doing well.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- This really is multi-tasking, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20So, here comes the last one.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Count the bananas and add the numbers.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- How many bananas and what was the number?- I think it's four and 19.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Four and 19. Is that correct?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Five and 19! One banana out.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Never mind. That's not a bad start at all.- We'll take that.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Six seconds, already in the bank. So, can we have game two, please?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53That's what your friends say about you, Nick.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Oh, Nick, always one banana out.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58LAUGHTER
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Who have you been talking to? - Here's your second game.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Tell me how many people are left on the bus, not including the driver.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Have a trial run.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- How many are left on the bus? - I don't know.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Um... Two?- Two?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Is that correct? No, it was one.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Again, I think it's useful to try and sort of use your fingers...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Maybe those going on with your fingers and those going off, counting in your head.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- OK. We'll try that. - See if my tip works.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- I'll blame you, John, if not. - Blame me. Off we go.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Please remember, I will only accept your first answer.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Your game starts now.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50How many on the bus?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Do you know what? I think I blacked out. I have no idea!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Um...- Well, have a guess.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- No, sorry, four. Four.- Four.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00That's right.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- LAUGHTER - Was that a guess?- No.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I was trying to take five away from one,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08so I was like - there can't be negative four people on the bus.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- No.- So, yeah. - Yeah, OK.- There you go.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Have that kind of logic on the second bus. OK?- OK.- Here it comes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27How many still aboard?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Um... I'm going to say two.- Two.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Is that the correct number?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- It is!- I like your tip. It's not going bad, is it?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Very impressive so far.- I owe it all to you, John.- One to go.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Here comes your third bus.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52So, how many left?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Um... It's either three or four. I'm going to go for three. Three, Brain.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Three, you're saying. Is that right?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03LAUGHTER
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Six! Neither three nor four.- Well, at least it wasn't four, I suppose.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- But you should be quite pleased with that.- OK.- All right?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Shouldn't he, Brain?- Absolutely.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15That performance may mean extra cash in today's final.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Nick, you added 12 seconds in that Zone.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22This means the Nabulisers have 42 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I hope you enjoyed playing the game. Rejoin the team.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- APPLAUSE - Well, Captain Nabeel. It's up to you now, isn't it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Because you're the only player left. So, come and join me
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- and we'll find out which zone you're going to be playing.- OK.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39APPLAUSE
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Well, I make it that there's Orientation, Logic
0:19:43 > 0:19:44and Language left.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Yes.- So, which don't you want? - Orientation, Logic or Language! - LAUGHTER
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Well, I'm afraid it's got to be one,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54so which would be your least favourite?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Out of the three, Orientation would be my least favourite.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- And why's that?- I can't orientate.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03One of the course modules is anatomy
0:20:03 > 0:20:07and you need to orientate yourself round that and I'm not...best...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- So, you're not going to be an anatomist, then?- No!
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Is the short answer!
0:20:12 > 0:20:16OK, and let's find out which Zone the Brain has chosen for you
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- to play.- Thank you.- Brain, could we have that Zone, please?
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- Oh, it's Language.- OK.- How do you feel about getting Language?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Mixed feelings. Um... It could be worse.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- It could have been better, but... - Yeah. Ready to play?- Yeah.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Let's play the Language Zone. - DEEP: Hello, Nabeel.- Hi, Brain.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I love your deep voice.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Likewise.- Huh! I hear you're very good at accents.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Do a Scottish accent for me.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- SCOTTISH ACCENT: - I don't think I can do that.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54No, do a Scottish accent for me. LAUGHTER
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Here's your first game.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Nabeel, what word is missing from all three others?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Here's a trial run to help you get a feel for the game.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- So, it's a three-letter word...- Man.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- Sorry, I'm just looking at the words. I think commander works.- Man?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Dormant.- Dormant.- And romantic. - Well, that sounds right to me.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Let's see if you're correct.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- It is indeed, yes.- OK. - Ready to do it for real?- Yes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Can we have the game then, please? - Ah, I remember Commander Dormant.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32He was romantic! LAUGHTER
0:21:32 > 0:21:35You can have as many guesses as you like, but I will not move on to the
0:21:35 > 0:21:39next question until you give me the correct answer or you can pass.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43You have a maximum of 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Your game starts now.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Missing three-letter word.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Bit?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yes. Well done. Next one.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Um...
0:21:59 > 0:22:0130 seconds left.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Er...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07E-R-B?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09No, pass.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Pass? You're going to pass? Your next one... That was rag.
0:22:12 > 0:22:1418 seconds left.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Oh, can't do this. Ten? T-E-N?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Ten? Yes, well done.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Intense, attend, stencil. Yeah. So, that's two out of three.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- Not bad going, to start with. Right. Ready for the next game?- Yes, John.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Right. Off we go. - Here's your second game.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Rearrange the newspaper cuttings to form a word.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Have a trial run to help you get a feel for the game.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41So, what word could that be?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Dingo? No, hang on.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Wait. Indigo.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Indigo. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Yes, it is.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Well, I think you got the hang of that one, didn't you?- Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Ready to play?- Yes.- Off we go.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You can have as many guesses as you like, but I will not move
0:22:56 > 0:23:00on to the next question until you give me the correct answer or pass.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Your game starts now.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Unicorn.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Unicorn, is that correct?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It is. Next one, please.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13League.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16League, yes. One to go, with 32 seconds.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Ooh.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Take your time.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Is it thwarted?
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Thwarted, is it? It is, indeed. No problem. 23 seconds to spare.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- That's all right.- Well done, Nabeel.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33You've put your team in a very solid position for standing
0:23:33 > 0:23:36a really good chance of getting the jackpot.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Yes.- Hasn't he, Brain?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Yes, it pains me to say it but well done, Nabeel.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44You added 15 seconds in that Zone.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49This means the Nabulisers have finished with a grand total
0:23:49 > 0:23:52of 57 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- APPLAUSE - Well, that is a very good score. Congratulations, Nabeel.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Thank you very much.- Please rejoin your team. - APPLAUSE
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Well, we've finished the individual Zones
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and now it's time for our team to try to beat the Brain
0:24:05 > 0:24:09one last time and take home some real cash in today's final.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13The Nabulisers,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17you've built up a very useful 57 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You can now use that to try to beat the Brain
0:24:19 > 0:24:23and take home today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26To win, you need to answer eight questions correctly,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29that's two each, within your 57 seconds.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32If you can't, you can still take home a decent amount of cash
0:24:32 > 0:24:36because the Brain has generously given you a further two minutes
0:24:36 > 0:24:40to answer the questions, but as the seconds slip away,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43so does the cash, at the rate of £25 a second,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and if you run out of time, you run out of money.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Now, Nabeel, as the captain,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50you've chosen which order the team is going to play.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52What's your logic behind that?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54We've just gone for the reverse of what we went
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- when we played the games. - OK. Time to get serious now.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Let's start today's final. Over to you, Brain.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05You will only face questions from the games you've already seen today,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09but for every game in the final, I will only accept your first answer.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Nabulisers, beat me if you can.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13That's the challenge!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16And as usual, we'll start with the player on the left,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18that's you, Nabeel.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I need two correct answers from you before I can pass to the next
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- person down the line and so on. OK? - Yeah.- Best of luck, everybody.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Let's start the final.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33D.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35No.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- What is the word?- Charter.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Yes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40How many on the bus?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Four?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46No.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47- Pass.- Next one. Quickly.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52What numberplate?
0:25:53 > 0:25:541.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Yes. Nick.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Yellow, black, pink, green, blue.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Correct.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Count the rubber ducks and add the numbers.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Two and 11.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Yes.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Sohail.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17What's the missing word?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Pit.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yes.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27We're into the countdown.
0:26:27 > 0:26:2914.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Yes. Antony.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36C.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Next, please.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Weekend.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Yes.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44How many on the bus?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Four.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Stop the clock!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52APPLAUSE
0:26:52 > 0:26:57One minute 37 left. Eight correct answers.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Congratulations, you've won £2,425. - APPLAUSE
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Well done!
0:27:07 > 0:27:11How about that? What a 21st birthday present, Antony!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- You've got to share it between four, but...- That's what they think!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So, Nabeel, your verdict on the team's performance?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I had a bit of a blunder at the beginning,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24but I think they picked up quite well, I'm happy. Well done.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And congratulations. And spend the money wisely.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29LAUGHTER
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- They did well, didn't they, Brain? - Absolutely. I'm not a bad loser.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34They're a fine bunch of men
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and the medical profession will be a better place because of them.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Thank you.- Well said! And thank you all at home for watching today.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I hope you enjoyed playing along with us,
0:27:43 > 0:27:48- but for now, it's goodbye from the Nabulisers...- Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- ..from the Brain... - Goodbye.- ..and from me.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53See you next time we play Beat The Brain.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Just before you go, here are the answers
0:27:59 > 0:28:03to those two teasing questions I gave you at the start of the show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Count the missing bricks.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12The answer is 11.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16And what about the second game? What three-letter word is missing?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24The answer is pan. I hope you enjoyed your mental workout today.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Join us in the mind gym next time on Beat The Brain.
