0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello, it's Brain here.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I've created some real mind teasers for our team today.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Here's a couple for you to try.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Here's another one - Catch Me If You Can.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26What number plate do you see?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I'll give you the answers at the end of the show.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Now let's see whether our team today has what it takes to Beat The Brain.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Please welcome the man with all the answers -
0:01:00 > 0:01:02broadcasting legend John Craven.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Well, thank you and now strap yourselves in for a half-hour
0:01:07 > 0:01:10mental workout that will test the quality of your mind,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13not the quality of your general knowledge.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Let's say hello first of all to The Brain behind the games.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- How are you today, Brain? - I'm very, very well.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Excited to be here, John,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and may I say you look wonderful in bottle green?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I want to drink from you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Well, in a flirtatious mood today obviously.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Let's see how our team copes with that.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Please introduce yourselves.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Hello, I'm John and I've been a London cabbie for 16 years.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Hi, I'm also a John and I've been a cabbie for 13 years.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I'm Marvin, I've been a London taxi driver for 16 years.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I'm Tony, I'm the team captain,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and I've been driving a cab for 34 years.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- APPLAUSE - So, a quartet of cabbies.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Thanks for switching off the meter for half-an-hour.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That's what he thinks.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, have you chosen a name for your team?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Yeah, we're going to be Streets Ahead.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02You cabbies obviously do think you're streets ahead of anybody else.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Absolutely.- Now you've got to prove that against The Brain.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So the best of luck, everybody.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Well, this is how it works.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12The show's Brain is divided into six Zones.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Now, The Brain will select four of those six Zones
0:02:21 > 0:02:22for you to play today.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25And, Tony, as captain, you've got to nominate which team member
0:02:25 > 0:02:29you think will perform best in each Zone, OK?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31You're playing for time instead of points,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34with every correct answer adding three seconds to your total,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36what we call your Brain Bank.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39The more time you build up, the more chances you have of
0:02:39 > 0:02:41beating The Brain in today's final
0:02:41 > 0:02:45and walking away with today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47So, Streets Ahead, are you ready to play?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48ALL: Yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Let's get going.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Time to find out which Zone you'll be facing first.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55So, Brain, a Zone, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Logic. Tony, who are you going to choose to play the Logic Zone?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well, this was a slightly tricky one, so what I think we need is a
0:03:04 > 0:03:08big brain on this one, so we're going to have the boy Marvin.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Right, well, come and join me, Marvin.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11APPLAUSE
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Nice to see you.- And you, John.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17And what did you do before you were a cabbie?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I was in banking before I became a cabbie.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- That's quite a change, isn't it? - Yeah, drastic change.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And what do you do when you're not driving a cab?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I'm an Arsenal season ticket holder and I love American football,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29so I'm a big Dallas Cowboys fan.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Do you ever go see them play? - Once a year, yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Take a trip out to the States and watch them play.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35How do they compare with Arsenal?
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Er... As bad as each other.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Right, OK, Marvin, you're going to play two games in this Zone.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Both games have three questions worth three seconds each.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- So, Brain, what's the first game? - Hello, Marvin.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53So you think your brain's as big as mine, do you? Let's see, shall we?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54We shall.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Your first game is called...
0:03:59 > 0:04:03You must pick up the sticks in the correct order from top to bottom.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05To help you, have a trial run.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Which colour comes top and which is bottom? Go down.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10OK, John,
0:04:10 > 0:04:15I will say white, blue, red,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19yellow, green, black.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25So, white, blue, red, yellow, green, black.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27You're absolutely correct.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Right, OK, Brain, please may we play the game?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Marvin, you have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40But, please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Each correct answer will add three seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Your game starts now.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Red, green, black,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55white, yellow, blue.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Let's see if you right.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59That's correct. Yes, it is.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01So you've got 33 seconds left.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Next one, please.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Blue, green, black,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10white, red, yellow.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Let's see if that's correct.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Yes, it is. Well done.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Next one, please.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Green, blue...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24..yellow...
0:05:29 > 0:05:30..white...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Oh, I'm afraid you're out of time. Out of time, I'm sorry.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Oh, dear. Let's see what it was.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Just a bit too slow.- You almost got there, didn't you?- Almost.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Never mind. You were beaten by the clock on that one.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48So, what did you think, Brain?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Well, I think he's probably better at picking up passengers, don't you?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Could we have game number two, please?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Marvin, here's your second game.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Identify the phrase or saying from the cryptic visual puzzle.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09To get your eye in, Marvin, have a trial run.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So what do you think is there, Marvin?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17What phrase does that make?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- That makes Bottoms up, John. - Bottoms up.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25It's upside down. So, bottoms up, let's see if you're right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29You are indeed. So, you've obviously got this game very clearly.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Let's hope so, John.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- So, Brain, let's play the real thing.- Very well.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Now, Marvin, you have as many guesses as you like on this game,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42but I will not move onto the next question until you give me
0:06:42 > 0:06:44the right answer or pass.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49You have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Your game starts now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So talk me through these, what do you see?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Five Ts with a green T in the middle.- And an arrow.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01What does that tell you?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- Green tea?- Uh-huh.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Green tea is right, yeah.
0:07:06 > 0:07:0830 seconds left.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Through and thin.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Through thick and thin?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Through thick and thin, let's see if that's right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It is indeed. 20 seconds left.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Ounce, kilo, tonne.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Middleweight.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Middleweight.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24You're absolutely right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That was a splendid little round for you there, Marvin.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31You were a big brain on that one. Wasn't he, Brain?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yes, very big, but not quite as big as me.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Marvin, congratulations.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37- Thank you, Brain.- You know what?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You added 15 seconds in that Zone
0:07:40 > 0:07:44and that means you have a total of 15 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Well done. APPLAUSE
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Well done, Marvin. Lovely to see you.- Thank you, John.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Back to the rank.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54So, time to find out which Zone we're going to next
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and who is going to take it on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Brain, a Zone, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Orientation it is. So, Tony, who are you picking for Orientation?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Well, what I've did, I've brought my dad along and this is his game.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Go on, John, up you go, mate. - So, John, come on over, join me.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15APPLAUSE
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- How are you today? - I'm good, I'm good, thank you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- You've been a cabbie for a long time now.- 13 years, not very long, yeah.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- What did you do before that?- I used to run a haulage company in Belgium.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Ah, so still involved with driving then?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Yeah, it's always been transport.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32And how do you think you'll do with Orientation?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34HE LAUGHS
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yeah, I've done it once...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39and I got lost.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Well, let's hope you don't get lost this time.- I'll do my best.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44So, Brain, what's the first game?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Hello, John F.- Hello.- How are you?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I'm very well, thank you. - I noticed you're not wearing a watch.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I hope that's not going to be a problem.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56No, it irritates my wrist, so I can't wear watches.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57- Stop talking.- Sorry.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00This is your first game. It's called...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05John F, what is the real time?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10To give you some practice, have a trial run.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13So that's the mirror image, what's the real time?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16You see why she mentioned the watch now?
0:09:18 > 0:09:198:20, sorry.
0:09:19 > 0:09:218:20, you're saying.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Yep, you're absolutely right. Obviously a clock watcher.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29OK, Brain, let's play the game.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33John F, you have a maximum of 45 seconds to answer these questions.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Your game starts now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45What's the real time?
0:09:45 > 0:09:473:45.
0:09:47 > 0:09:493:45.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- No.- No. 8:15.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54And the clock's ticking away.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56What's the mirror image real time there?
0:09:56 > 0:09:594:25.
0:09:59 > 0:10:004:25, you think. Let's see.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Yeah, absolutely right there.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You've got 25 seconds left.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07What's the time here?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- 10 to one.- 10 to one. Let's see if that's correct.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14You're absolutely right and you had some time left, so well done.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17So, Brain, how did you rate John's performance there?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, he did have a little stumble but, as Meatloaf would say,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21"Two out of three ain't bad."
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- No. Please could we having game two? - Of course, John.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Now here's something you really should be good at, John F.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Your second game...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Follow the car's journey
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and work out which direction it's facing at the finish.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- No pressure.- Oh, no.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Have a trial run.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Turn right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51U-turn.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Turn left.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56So which direction is it heading in eventually?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- South.- South.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I'll see if you're right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01You are indeed.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Do you use a sat nav when you're driving the cab?- No.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Professional misconduct that is. - Is it really?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- You did the knowledge then, did you?- Yes, sir.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So, let's see how you do on our sat nav then.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Brain, we're ready to play.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Please remember, John F, I can only accept your first answer.- OK.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Your game starts now.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Turn right.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Turn left.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Turn right.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36So, which direction now?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Turn left and then turn right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Sorry, did it say turn left, turn right?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43It did, didn't it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I can't help you, I'm afraid.- Sorry.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- What are you going to say?- North.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51North, let's see if you're right.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53East, I'm afraid.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55So, let's have the next one please, Brain.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Embarrassing, this.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Turn left.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Turn right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Turn right.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Turn left.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- East.- East, you're thinking.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11You're heading east.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13No, you were heading north.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15No-one will be getting in my cab, will they?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17They are hard these, I find these hard as well,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19so off we go with the final one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25U-turn
0:12:25 > 0:12:26U-turn.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Turn right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30U-turn.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- East.- East.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Let's see if that's correct.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40It's west. Oh, well, you don't need a sat nav anyway, do you?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- No.- You find your way all around London,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46even if you can't find your way round our board.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah, but it's...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- So, what do you think, Brain?- Well, I think it's probably much easier
0:12:51 > 0:12:55when you're behind the wheel and I'd gladly get into your cab, John F.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Do they have seatbelts for brains? - Oh, yes,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- we've got seatbelts for brains. - Oh, good.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03John, you added six seconds in that Zone
0:13:03 > 0:13:08and that means Streets Ahead now have 21 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- APPLAUSE - So, hope you enjoyed playing anyway.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Thank you very much.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Thank you very much, John.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So here we are, two down and two more contestants now
0:13:16 > 0:13:20are champing at the bit to take on the chance of beating The Brain,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24so let's find out which Zone is next and who is going to take it on.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Brain, a Zone, please.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Well, Tony, who is going to be playing against The Brain
0:13:35 > 0:13:36when it comes to Language?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40What I've decided, because John O lives so far south
0:13:40 > 0:13:45he almost speaks French, that we're going to pick John for this one.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Right, well, John, come and join me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49APPLAUSE
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Are you good at language? - I'm OK. I can get by.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The Brain's version of language may not be what
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- you think of as language. - Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00So we'll have to wait and see about that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Have you had any famous people in your cab?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Yeah, I've had one or two over the years, John.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I mean, I'm still waiting for the big one,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08obviously the Craven hasn't arrived yet.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, Jeremy Clarkson.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Jeremy Clarkson?- Yeah. - Were you a bit apprehensive?
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Yes, a little bit.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I was just a bit worried about my driving,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19in case I was going a bit too slow, if anything.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Did he make any comment? - No, he didn't. Thankfully, no.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23And you managed to get into the right place?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Yeah, and he gave me some money, which was a bonus.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Well, let's see how you do in the Language Zone, John.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Brain, let's have a game.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Bonjour, John O. - Hello, Brain. Bonjour.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Well done, that's a start.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Do I detect a little trace of sweat on those brows? Are you nervous?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- No, not me.- Don't be nervous, my darling, be very nervous. Here we go.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Here's your first game.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52All you have to do is rearrange the newspaper cuttings to form a word.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Why don't I give you warm up with a trial run?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What word does that make up, those three bits?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- What do you guess? - Argument.- Argument.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Let's see if you're correct.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You are indeed. Well done. So, that's how the game plays.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Little bits of words making up a big word. OK, you happy with it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Yep, let's do it. - Brain, bring on the game.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20You can have as many guesses as you like, John O, but I will not
0:15:20 > 0:15:24move onto the next question until you give me the correct answer or pass.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28You have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Your game starts now.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What word is made up of those three bits?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39So I've got, AL, NA, TUR.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Going to pass?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Pass.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Natural. Right. Next one, please.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Bouncer.- Bouncer. Let's see, is that right?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Yes, you are. And you've got 17 seconds left. One more.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13What have we got?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Butterfly, butterfly!- Out of time, I'm afraid.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19- Ah!- You get it?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Butterfly. Sting like a bee.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Well, Brain, what about that?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Well, he wasn't a natural at that game, was he?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- No, I think you beat him on that one, didn't you?- I certainly did.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Yeah, so never mind, John.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Let's hope you do better at the next Language game.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Let's see, please can we play the game?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Here's the second game...
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Find the hidden word using the sentence as your clue.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Here's a trial run for you, John O.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55So there's a word hidden somewhere in there
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and it could be letters linking words.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- So, aquatic animal. - I think that is seal, John.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Let's have a look and see if you're correct.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Seal, yeah. Right, OK, Brain, let's play for real.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You can have as many guesses as you like, John O, but I will not
0:17:16 > 0:17:21move on to the next question until you give me the correct answer or pass.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25You have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Your game starts now.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Find the hidden word there then.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- Mouse, John.- Mouse.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yeah, across the words. Good.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Next one.
0:17:50 > 0:17:5223 seconds.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Pass.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Pass on that one.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56It is Delhi.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Right, here's the last one.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Five seconds left. What can you see there?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13I'm looking for an earthquake, but I can't see it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Time's up, I'm afraid.- Flood.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Drought.- Drought, you see. That was a difficult one, I thought.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22A bit of a natural disaster in my brain I think there, John.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23But we do say, on this show,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27it's different brains for different games. Don't we, Brain?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I suppose we do, Mr Craven.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32But, John O, you sort of dried up there, didn't you?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Rather like a drought. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Not that I want to rub it in, my darling, but I'm going to.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42John O, you added six seconds in that Zone.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43That means, in total,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Streets Ahead have 27 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48APPLAUSE
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Captain Tony, you're our final player,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53so why don't you come and swap places with John O here
0:18:53 > 0:18:55and we'll find out which Zone you'll be playing?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Nice to see you, John.- How do you think so far about your team?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Well, I think they've been remarkable.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Well, apart from John - he was useless.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08And tell me about yourself.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10What's your ambition in life?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Well, what I want to do is I want to drive a cab till I'm 92.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Well, it was an ambition, now it's an necessity really.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Is there an age limit on how old you can be?- Not that I know of.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I think as long as you just see the end of the bonnet you've got half a chance.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24We've got three Zones remaining now.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Let's get down to business, Tony.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Multitasking, Memory and Observation.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Now, which of those three would you hope to come up now for you?
0:19:34 > 0:19:39I think the Multitasking, I don't multitask, I'm just single-minded.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42So either of the other two, I might have half a chance.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45OK, let's see, Brain, which Zone is going to come up.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Brain, over to you.- Hello, Tony. - Oh, hello there, all right?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'd love to run my fingers through you're hair,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58but I'm a brain so I can't.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Anyway, this should be right up your street, as they say.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Here's your first game.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Tony, tell me which number plate you saw.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Have yourself a trial run.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Which of those six was the one on the car?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27VG24... 24...
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Number two.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Number two. Let's have a look and see if that's right. WFS.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34No, it was WFD.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I got the VG24.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Yeah, so you've got to be really observant on this one.- Right, OK.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- So you've got the hang of it?- Yeah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Right, let's play the game please, Brain.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Please remember, Tony, I can only accept your first answer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Your game starts now.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00What was that one?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01It's JU77 KXR. Number one.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Number one.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Let's see if that's correct. It was indeed, yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07OK, next one, please.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18CN30. That was number two, I think.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Number two you think. Was that correct?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It was indeed. You're doing well here.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Third one coming up.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It's going away.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33WCG...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- I think it's number four. - Number four, you think.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39WCG. Let's see if you're right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41And you are indeed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Yeah, well done on that one. You obviously know your number plates.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Yes, I was close to that last one, I nearly hit him up the back.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well, Brain, please, let's have the next game.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Here's the second game then.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Tell me the order the balloons pop.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00To help you out, have a trial run.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- So what was that?- That was the blue one, yellow and purple.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Blue, yellow and purple, you're saying. Let's see if that's correct.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It is indeed. OK, let's play the game, please.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Your game starts now.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30That was purple, red, yellow.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Purple, red, yellow, you're saying.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Is that correct?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yes. Next please.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Was that red, blue, purple?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Red, blue, purple, you're saying.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Absolutely correct, you're good on banging balloons.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Off we go with the final one.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Red, yellow, blue and purple.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Red, yellow, blue and purple.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Absolutely correct. You're playing well, captain.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- I've no idea what happened there. - A formidable game.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11So, what do you think of that, Brain?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I thought he was excellent.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Very well done, Tony.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18You have managed to add 18 seconds in that Zone
0:23:18 > 0:23:22and this means that, Streets Ahead, you have finished
0:23:22 > 0:23:26with a grand total of 45 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Congratulations there, Tony. A captain's performance.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31That was brilliant, thank you very much indeed.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Please go and join your team.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- APPLAUSE - Well, we've finished the individual rounds
0:23:35 > 0:23:39and it's now time for our team to try to beat The Brain
0:23:39 > 0:23:44one last time, and take home a possible £3,000 in today's final.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46APPLAUSE
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Well, Streets Ahead, in previous rounds you were playing for time,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54now you're playing for money.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57You added a total of 45 seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01If each of you can give two correct answers within that time then
0:24:01 > 0:24:04you'll share our jackpot today of £3,000.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Now, if those 45 second run out, don't worry because The Brain has
0:24:08 > 0:24:13given you an extra two minutes to get those eight correct answers.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16However, as the time counts down, so does the money.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20And if the clock reaches zero, you win nothing.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Well, Tony, as captain, you've chosen the order
0:24:22 > 0:24:24in which your team are going to play.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Any logic in that or is it just pot luck?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Well, I thought we'd put a young brain first.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Young-ish.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Young-ish, yeah. - He did well.- He did do well.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Even I've done strangely well, so I thought I'd go second
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and then it was sort of the rest really. Just see how they get on.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45OK, well, now it's time to get serious. Let's play today's final.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Over to you, Brain.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52You'll only face questions from the games you've already seen today.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57For every question in the final, I will only accept your first answer.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Streets Ahead, beat me if you can.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01That's the big question -
0:25:01 > 0:25:03can you beat The Brain?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06As usual, we'll start with the player on the left - that's you, Marvin.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08And once you've had two correct answers,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11we will move from you to Tony and down the line.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12So, good luck to everybody.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Let's start the game.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Marvin, what time is it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24That is 7:20.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Incorrect.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Make A Word.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Tractor.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Tractor, that's correct.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Out With A Bang.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Blue, yellow, purple.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Yep, that's correct. On to Tony.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Pick up the sticks in order.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Green, yellow, blue,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51red, black, white.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Correct.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01What was that number plate?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Number four.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Correct.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11John O, onto you. Quickly.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Torch.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Correct.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Right, next one. Tip Of The Tongue.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24What phrase is that?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Beat the bush.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Incorrect.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Beat around the bush. One more.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Sat nav one.- Turn right.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Turn right.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Turn left.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39What direction now?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- East.- Is correct.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48John F.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Pass.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Which order?- Yellow, red, purple.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02That's correct, yeah. One more.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Pick up some sticks.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04White, green, blue,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06red, black, yellow.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Stop the clock.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Well done. You've won £1,375, so congratulations.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:15So how do you feel about that, Brain?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, here's a little ode to them.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Though your brain power here and there was, let's face it, rather shabby,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26you beat me, team Streets Ahead, so all hail the cabbie.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well done, you lot.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Hail the cabbies.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well, thank you for watching today at home.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We hope you enjoyed playing along as well.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37But, for now, it's goodbye from Streets Ahead...
0:27:37 > 0:27:38- ALL:- Goodbye.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- ..from The Brain...- Goodbye.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42..and from me. See you soon.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Before you go, here are the answers to the two questions
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I gave you at the beginning of the show.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52What's the phrase or saying?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57The answer is...
0:27:59 > 0:28:01And here's the second one.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03What number plate do you see?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The answer is...
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Did you get them right?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Join in for more challenging games next game on Beat The Brain.
