0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hello. It's me, Brain.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Our team of four are poised for a strenuous mental workout.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13To get you in the mood, try these two examples.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17What's the word in the middle?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24And here's another one.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Count how many times the lights come on.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Confident? I'll give you the answers at the end of the show.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Now let's see if our four contestants can work
0:00:37 > 0:00:41together as they try to Beat The Brain.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Please welcome a man who's very close to this brain's heart,
0:01:03 > 0:01:04John Craven.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Thank you, and welcome to Beat The Brain.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Our team today will be taking on thorny logic problems,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14tricky word games and baffling puzzles,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16which you at home can play along with as well
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and, by doing so, give your own minds a mental workout.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23So let's say hello to our resident genius, Brain. How are you today?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Oh, I'm very well, thank you, Mr Craven, and it's true. I am a genius.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Bring on the games.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Well, let's see if our team can beat you. Please introduce yourselves.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'm Jenni and I work as a prison officer.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I'm Steve and I work as a banking customer advocate.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40I'm Lisa and I'm also a prison officer.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I'm Dave, I'm the team captain, and I'm a retail systems developer.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45APPLAUSE
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Welcome, everybody.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Dave, as the captain, what are you calling yourself today?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- We're called the Pennine Pals. - Why is that?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Two of us are from Leeds and two of us are from Liverpool.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58So it's the white rose versus the red rose,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00but working together today to Beat The Brain.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- That's right.- Are you going to do it, do you think?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Fingers crossed, yeah. We're going to give it a good shout.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06OK. Here's how the game works.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The show's brain is divided into six Zones.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Logic, Memory, Orientation,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Observation, Language
0:02:14 > 0:02:15and Multi-tasking.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Now, The Brain will select four of these six Zones for you to
0:02:19 > 0:02:22play today, and Dave, as captain, you must nominate which
0:02:22 > 0:02:26team member you think will perform best in each Zone, OK?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30You're playing for time instead of points, with every correct answer
0:02:30 > 0:02:34adding three seconds to your total, what we called The Brain Bank.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The more time you build up, the more chances you have of beating
0:02:37 > 0:02:42The Brain in today's final and walking away with a big cash prize.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So, Pennine Pals, are you ready to play?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46ALL: Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Time to find out which Zone you'll be facing first.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Brain, the Zone, please.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Language.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Language is our first Zone, so, Dave,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01who are you going to nominate for the Language Zone?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We've had a bit of a chat about this already,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and I think Steve is the Language man.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Right, well, come on in, Steve.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10APPLAUSE
0:03:11 > 0:03:15So, why do you think you've been chosen for Language?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Well, in my line of work, I write letters quite often and check
0:03:18 > 0:03:23letters, a lot of written work, so I kind of self-nominated for this.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Right. Are you good at actually speaking language or working out
0:03:27 > 0:03:29difficult bits of language?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Without being too...
0:03:31 > 0:03:34er, overconfident, I'd be quite good at most of those things,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37you know, I'm the person that immediately spots a mistake
0:03:37 > 0:03:40when something's been written down wrong.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41I'm quite fussy.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44One of the team members said you were a bit of a big head, but...
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Literally.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Literally, yes! - I've got a really big head.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50You've got a big head, and have you got a big brain
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- inside your big head? - We'll see, won't we?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- LAUGHTER - Well, let's find out.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Let's play the Language Zone, and game one, please, Brain.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Hello, there. How are you, Steve? - Hello, I'm good, thank you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- How are you?- I'm very well. Here's the first game.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's called Out Of This Word.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12What word is missing from all three others?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Have a trial run.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Missing words.- Sure. Erm...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19OK, well, it looks like the only word at the bottom
0:04:19 > 0:04:21could be volcano, so...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- I would go for can as the missing word there.- Can. Let's see.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Scandal, decanter and volcano.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Yeah, right, so you got the hang of that pretty quickly.- Yep.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32- Are you ready to play?- Ready!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36So, let's play the Language Zone. Game one, please.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39You only have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Your game starts now.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45A missing word.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Erm... OK. Ah...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm trying to think what the top word could be. Erm...
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Erm...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I think that would be...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01mat, M-A-T.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Mat. Tomato, animate, smatter. Well done.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Onto the next one, quickly, you've got 21 seconds left.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Er, red.- Red.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Well done, next one.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- 14 seconds.- Erm...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Er, ape.- Ape.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Correct. Paper, tapestry, chapel.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Well done on that one, Steve. - APPLAUSE
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- So, let's go on to game two, please. - He's very good, isn't he?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Now, Steve, here's your second game.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Find the word that fits between the other two.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40To get your eye in, have a trial run.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What's the whole word in the middle here?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Er, well, fiction made me think straight away think of science. - Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- And?- Rocket science.- Let's see if you are right. Yes, you are.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Well, that wasn't rocket science, was it?- It was.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54LAUGHTER
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- So, Brain, over to you.- Steve, are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Your game starts now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06OK, well, straight away there, council estate. Estate agent.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Estate agent? Let's see if you are correct. Yes, you are indeed.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Move onto the next one, please.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Again, carving makes me think knife.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Knife edge.- Carving and knife edge?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's see if that is correct, well done.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And being a football fan, I'll think
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'll take World Cup and cupcake.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Let's see if that... Well, yes. That was high-speed.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Well done on that one, Steve.- Thank you.- A really cracking start
0:06:31 > 0:06:34for Pennine Pals, I think. What do you think, Brain?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I think it is a very cracking start.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It's getting me into a bit of a bad mood, actually. THEY LAUGH
0:06:39 > 0:06:43That performance will really help later in the final.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Steve, you added 18 seconds in that Zone.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49This means, in total, Pennine Pals have
0:06:49 > 0:06:5118 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53APPLAUSE
0:06:53 > 0:06:56So, time to find out now which Zone we are going to be playing next.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59And who is going to take it on, so, Brain, Zone, please.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Observation. So, Dave, big decision here.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Who do you think would be best at Observation?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- I'd like to think I'm quite good at this myself.- Ah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So I might, I think it might be time to step up and try
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- and match what Steve did.- Captain's round.- Yes, I'll take it myself.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Come on then, Dave, come and join us.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24APPLAUSE
0:07:24 > 0:07:25It's really good to see you.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Do you like these kind of mental quizzes?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Yes, I like playing spot the difference, those type of games.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- A pretty observant eye? - Yes, I'd like to think so.- Right.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38How good are you at Observation? Let's find out.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Let's put you to the test.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Brain, please reveal the first game that Dave will be playing today.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Hello, Dave.- Hello.- Are you a little nervous?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- No, I'm fine. Are you?- Cheek. I'm not nervous.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Right, for that, I'm going to do some really nasty things to you.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Bring it on. - Here we go with the first game.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Dave, count the number of times each light comes on.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And to give you some practice, have a trial run.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Erm. I'm saying 15.- 15.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I were a bit like that, all over the place.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I think I kind of focused on the middle one and spotted them from around.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You've got to be all over. 15, let's see if you were right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- You were. Adopted the right tactic there.- Yes.- So, Brain, over to you.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Please remember, Dave, I can only accept your first answer.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Your game starts now.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- 19.- 19 with that final green one. Right, let's see if you are correct.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You were. Very well done, onto the next one.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- That...looked like 18 to me. - 18, you thought.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Love your hand movements on this, the finger counting, it's great.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27That's exactly what you need to do. Obviously.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29So let's move on to the last one.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- That only looked like 17 this time. - 17, you thought, this time.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Let's see if you are correct.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You were. Well, very well done indeed.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54APPLAUSE
0:09:54 > 0:09:57That was a clean sweep. Well done. Great.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59So, let's move on to the second game.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Well, Dave, what are you like with numberplates?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Here's the second game.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Tell me which numberplate you saw.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11To help you out, here's a trial run.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- UD 40.- Which numbers of those six? Which one?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25It was UD40 HLX. So that was
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- six...I believe.- Number six.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31And you're right. So, OK, Brain, let's play it again.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Every correct answer adds three seconds to boost the Brain Bank balance.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Your game starts now.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- DV...- Hmm-hmm.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52That was number six.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Number six, you thought.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55And you were right.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57What's the next plate going to be?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12That looked like... It was a fast one, that. Number two.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Number two, you thought.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17And you were right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Third from coming up.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Going the other way.- Yes. Tricky, but...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31that was number three.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You're pretty confident, are you?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Let's see if you are right, and you are.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Well done. Goodness me. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:37 > 0:11:40You did incredibly well there, maximum points.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Thank you.- Yeah. Congratulations from me. Brain, what do you think?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Yes, congratulations, Dave, you've added 18 seconds in that Zone.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And that means, in total, Pennine Pals have
0:11:52 > 0:11:5436 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- APPLAUSE - Right, let's find out which Zone is next
0:11:57 > 0:11:59and who's going to take it on.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Brain, a Zone, please.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Logic, we've got.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11So, Dave, who is going to be best at Logic, Lisa or Jenni?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It has got to be...Logic Lisa.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Logic Lisa, come on in.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20APPLAUSE
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- All right, Logic Lisa. - I don't know, because none of my friends would probably agree.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I don't think I am particularly logical,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30but I do like to solve puzzles, I like the challenge.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Do you go for the puzzle page in a newspaper and things?- I do.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I like, er, the sudoku, I like to work things out,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- the methodical side of things.- That sounds like Logic Lisa to me.- Yes.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So, don't forget, there are another 18 precious
0:12:44 > 0:12:48seconds on offer in this Zone. That's three seconds for every correct
0:12:48 > 0:12:53answer, so, Brain, please reveal the first game Lisa will be playing.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Hello, Logic Lisa.- Hello, Brain.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Here's your first game. It's...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I will show you a series of four pictures,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and your challenge is to find the common link.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Have a trial run.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13So what links those four images?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- OK.- Talk me through.- There's...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18fire, a forest fire, er,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20a boot.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- A sack race.- Sack, yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Axe.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Sack, axe, boot.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Fire.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31What could be the connection there, do you reckon?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, gosh.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35It is easier working it out aloud, I think.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40So we've got fire, boot, axe, and sack.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Axeman, fireman.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46No, I can't think of a sack man.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49They are raring to tell you on the couch.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I wish they could, I'm stuck with this one.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Erm.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Race. Boot race. Axe.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Dave, what is it?- It is ways to lose your job.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Of being fired.- Being fired...
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Getting the boot.- ..being sacked. Being fired. Getting the boot.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Being fired. Terminating employment.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Wow.- Get that now?- Yes. OK.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14That's the kind of logic that The Brain is looking for.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- So, are you ready to play? - Yes, go on, then.- OK.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Brain, first game, please.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Lisa, you can have as many guesses as you like, but I will not move
0:14:24 > 0:14:28onto the next question until you give me the correct answer or pass.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30You have only 45 seconds.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Your game starts now.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- OK, I'm seeing peas.- Pea.- Brick. - Brick.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Chest. Flag.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42China, wall.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Erm. Pea wall, brick wall, chest wall.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47- Erm.- No?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Do you want to pass?- Yes, pass. - The answer is...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Pea water...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Peanut, and things like that. OK, next one.- OK, kite.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Erm. Country. Kiwi.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- What country?- Is it China? No.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I don't know. Crane.- Crane, yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Want to pass?- Pass.- You've got a few
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- seconds left, do you want to pass? - Pass, yes
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Sisters, twins, double, lion. Crab.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Times up, I'm afraid.- Oh, my gosh.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23There's the answer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You had Gemini, the twins, Pisces, Leo and Cancer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Never mind.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31As we say on this show, it's different brains for different games.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Some are dead easy. Everybody at home finds some easy and some hard.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39And it is rather different when you're sitting in this chair.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Yeah.- It is all hard. The next game, please, Brain.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Don't worry, Lisa. As Einstein once said,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47"It's easy once you know the answer."
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- It is.- Here's the second game.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Use the clues to work out the position of a particular animal.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59The clues describe the animals from your perspective.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Here's a trial run of what I mean.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Alfie is on the left to Charlie. - Charlie is on the left of...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Where is Oscar?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12So, if Charlie is on the left of Oscar,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and Alfie is on the left of Charlie, Oscar must be on the right.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- You think that he is on the right, Oscar?- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Let's see if you are correct.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- You are.- Yay!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You were correct there, and it is from our perspective as well,
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- looking at it. OK.- OK.- Right, so can we have the game then, please, Brain?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38You only have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Your game starts now.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So Prudence is on the right of Gertrude.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48She is on the left of Beatrice. So Prudence is in the middle.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Prudence is in the middle, you say? Let's see if you are correct.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Yes, well done. Onto the next one.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Cotton-tail is not right of Flopsy, so Cotton-tail
0:16:56 > 0:16:59is on the left of Flopsy, Flopsy is on the left of Mopsy.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05So Cotton-tail is in the middle.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07In the middle, you think?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Cotton-tail is in the middle?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- No, left.- No, he's on the left.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Jesus.- So you've got 13 seconds left.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Henrietta is not left of Clucky.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Henrietta is not right of Nugget.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Where is Clucky?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So Henrietta is not left of Clucky
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- and not right... - Quickly, three seconds.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- An answer.- Clucky, right.- Right,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26so you think Clucky is on the right.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27No, on the left.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- I'll just go with the men. - I think you actually
0:17:30 > 0:17:31were a bit unlucky on those games,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and you did get some very difficult logical questions. You did.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Brain, what do you think about Lisa? How'd she do?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Yes, I did give you a particularly difficult Zone, Lisa.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I'm sorry, but never mind, I like your hair.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Oh, thank you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Lisa, you added three seconds in that Zone.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49This means, in total,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Pennine Pals now have
0:17:51 > 0:17:5339 seconds in their Brain Bank. APPLAUSE
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Jenni, you're our final player, so why don't you swap places
0:17:58 > 0:18:01with Lisa and we'll find out which Zone you will be playing?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03APPLAUSE
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- And right, Lisa, you're a prison officer.- I am.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08How did you get involved with that?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Well, I worked in the visit centre first with
0:18:11 > 0:18:15the children on visits, and jobs came up in the prison
0:18:15 > 0:18:17for a little bit more money, so I went for that, yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- And do you enjoy the job? - I do actually, yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I still get to work with the families and the visits, so,
0:18:22 > 0:18:23yeah, I do enjoy it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26And how are you when it comes to mental puzzles?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I love them - in a really geeky way.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I love playing on quiz machines, and like you were saying before,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34the puzzle sections of papers, magazines...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36So, yeah, I really enjoy them.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- So, are you looking forward to this, then?- I am.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Well, there are three Zones left. There's Orientation...- Mm-hmm.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- ..there's Memory and Multi-tasking. - Yeah.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46So which of those three would you like The Brain to come up with?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Multi-tasking.- Multi-tasking.- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50You're pretty good at that, eh? Why's that?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54I have two young boys, three and five, and I work full-time,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57so Multi-tasking has to be done on a daily basis, so...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- And you do puzzles in the paper as well, so, yes.- Yeah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Right, OK, then, let's find out which Zone
0:19:03 > 0:19:04The Brain is going to choose for you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Let's hope it's Multi-tasking.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Multi-tasking.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- And it is.- Oh, yay.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Yes.- Yeah, fantastic.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Your wish comes true, or so it might appear.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Yeah, I know, I won't get too happy too soon.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Yeah, so, Brain, please reveal the first game in Multi-tasking
0:19:21 > 0:19:23that Jenni will be playing.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Of course, John.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25- Hello, Jenni.- Hello.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Right, here's your first game -
0:19:28 > 0:19:30it's called Turning Tables.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Count the number of times each arrow passes its needle.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38To get you in the groove, have a trial run.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Two arrows, two needles.- OK.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- How many on the left and the right? - I think one and five.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52One and five, you're saying.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Let's see if you're correct.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- You are indeed, yes.- Yes. Yay.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Yeah, so, hopefully,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Multi-tasking is going to be your game.- Fingers crossed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04So can we have the first game, please?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Your game starts now.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Mm-hmm.- One and three.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23One and three, you're saying.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24OK, let's see if that's right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And it is, good.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- Yay.- Next one, please.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I think five and four.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Five and four, your fingers tell you.- Yeah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Five and four, let's see.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah, yeah.- Yay.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48You've got one more to go. Let's carry on.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56It's going faster.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Ooh...- Harder, that one, so...
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think I lost it a little bit on that one.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04I'm going to save five and five.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Five and five, you're going to say,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- cos they were spinning around rather quickly.- Mmm.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Five and five?- Oh...
0:21:10 > 0:21:11- Five and six, just one out. - One out,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- I can live with that...ish. - Never mind,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15you've got two out of three games, there.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18So, Brain, what do you have up for us in the next game?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Well, let's spin Jenni around a bit, shall we?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Here's your second game -
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Head Spin - count the number of times the named object
0:21:26 > 0:21:29appears in the spinning wheels.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Here's a trial run to help you get the feel of the game.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Count the chicks.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Nine.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Nine chicks, you think.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- I think.- Are you correct?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51You are, indeed. The problem with this one is that
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- two of them are going in one direction...- Mm-hmm.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- ..and the one in the middle is going in the opposite direction.- Yeah.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yes, yes, so it's a fruit machine with a difference, this is.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Yeah.- So let's see how we do as we play the game.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Jenni, you will also be playing this blindfold.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- OK.- Only kidding.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Your game starts now. Count the green flip-flops.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- How many do you reckon, Jenni?- Oh...
0:22:28 > 0:22:29I think 12.
0:22:29 > 0:22:3112, you're thinking.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- I think. - So let's see if that was correct.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Yay.- And you're right. OK, next one, please.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Count the sunglasses.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- How many sunglasses?- 15.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- 15. A pretty confident 15, there. - Hmm.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- And correct.- Yeah.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I bet you're doing better than a lot of people at home.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59So the last one, please.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Count the white plates.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05SHE MOUTHS
0:23:13 > 0:23:14How many white plates?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15I believe 16.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- 16, you're thinking.- Yeah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Well done, yeah.- Yay.- And you did it without counting out loud.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- A lot of people count out loud as they go through...- I know.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- ..but you didn't do that, as well. - No, it helps to just
0:23:25 > 0:23:27keep that particular game just in my head.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yeah, yeah, well, you are good at that kind of logic,
0:23:30 > 0:23:31certainly, aren't you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Yeah, so, Brain, what do you think?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Well done, Jenni.- Thank you.- It's good to be geeky, don't you think?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I do. You added 15 seconds in that Zone.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44This means, today, that Pennine Pals, you have finished with
0:23:44 > 0:23:47a grand total of 54 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- 54, that is a pretty good score. - Thank you.- So well done, Jenni.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Thanks.- Please, rejoin your team.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55APPLAUSE
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Well, we've finished the individual Zones
0:23:58 > 0:24:01and it's now time for our team to try to Beat The Brain
0:24:01 > 0:24:06one last time, and take home a possible £3,000 in today's final.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Well, Pennine Pals, you've managed to
0:24:10 > 0:24:14accrue 54 seconds in the Zones,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16and this is where you put that time to good use,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19because you need to answer two questions each correctly
0:24:19 > 0:24:21before those 54 seconds run out,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25in order to take home our top prize of £3,000.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Now, if you can't do that, there's still a chance to win,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31because The Brain has generously given you two extra minutes to
0:24:31 > 0:24:35come up with the answers, and as the time goes down, so does the cash.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39If the time runs out completely, well, you're left with nothing, OK?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43So, Dave, you've chosen the order in which the team is going to play.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44What's your logic behind that?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I've just decided to go with the order that we actually played
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- the game in.- Mm-hmm.- We'll see if we can Beat The Brain that way.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- How do you feel about being first, then, Steve?- Fine.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I'm all right with that...so far.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Not being big-headed? - Erm, well, that's standard.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So it looks to me as though it's Yorkshire for the first half
0:25:03 > 0:25:05and Lancashire for the second half, is that right?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Looks like it.- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09So, the roses merge again to try and Beat The Brain.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13It's time to get serious. Let's play today's final.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Pennine Pals, you will only face questions from the games
0:25:16 > 0:25:19you've already seen today, but for every game in the final,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I will only accept your first answer.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25So, can you Beat The Brain?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Let's find out. As usual, we'll start with the player on the left -
0:25:28 > 0:25:31that's you, Steve. You've got to get two questions right
0:25:31 > 0:25:35before we can hand on to Dave, and so on down the line. OK?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Yes.- Are you ready to go? - Ready.- Ready?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Yup, right, good luck, everybody. Let's start the game.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42What's the missing word?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Erm, Victoria.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Correct.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48What's the connection?
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Angel, carrot, erm...
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Sponge. Cake!
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Correct. Dave...
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Count the snowflakes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Four.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Yeah. On, next one, quickly.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Den.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Correct. Lisa, what number plate?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Four.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Yup.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Heat.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Jenni, what is the connection?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It's...erm...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29cards.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yes. Next one.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Ten.- So stop the clock!
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Yeah! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Congratulations, you were just two seconds off the jackpot, there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Eight correct answers
0:26:48 > 0:26:51wins you £2,950.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52How about that?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53- Yes!- Ah!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Something to celebrate, there, Pennine Pals.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- How are you feeling, Steve?- Oh, wonderful, brilliant.- Oh, my gosh.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00How are you going to spend the money?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Erm...- It's going to be put to good use.- Very good, very good, yeah.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Well, congratulations,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07and Brain, you've been well and truly beaten.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I know, I'm absolutely distraught.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12They absolutely thrashed me, didn't they?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- They did. - You know, Daddy Brain used to say,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18"Remember, it's not the taking part that matters, it's the winning."
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It certainly is, certainly for Pennine Pals,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23and that's all today, thank you for watching,
0:27:23 > 0:27:24hope you enjoyed playing along.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And now, it's goodbye from the Pennine Pals.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- ALL: Bye! - It's goodbye from Brain.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Goodbye.- And from me, as well.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33See you soon.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Before you go, it's time to find out how you did with
0:27:38 > 0:27:40our two play at home questions.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Here's a reminder, and the answers.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45What's the word in the middle?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The answer is...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54end.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Count how many times the lights come on.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04The answer is...
0:28:04 > 0:28:05seven.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08If you got those right, well done.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11If you didn't, you can always improve your skills
0:28:11 > 0:28:14by watching more Beat The Brain.
