0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hello, it's me, The Brain.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08These are the kind of challenges our team will face today.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Have a go at home.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Count the missing bricks.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Try one more.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Memorise the name and image.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I'll relieve your anxiety by giving you the answers
0:00:31 > 0:00:32at the end of the show.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Now let's see if four brains are better than one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38It's Beat The Brain.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Here's a man who can have my number any time he likes - John Craven.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Well, thank you very much.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hello, everybody and welcome to Beat The Brain,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09the show that tests your mind not your general knowledge.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So, Brain, how are you going to treat us in the next 30 minutes?
0:01:12 > 0:01:17I will treat you lovingly, my Johnny. With the others I'll be ruthless.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18And believe me, that's no empty threat.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22So, let's find out how our team copes. Please introduce yourselves.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I'm Marcus and I'm a safeguarding officer.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I'm Richard and I'm a police response officer.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm Dan and I'm a police detective.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I'm Tom, I'm the team captain and I'm also a police detective.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34APPLAUSE
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Well, welcome everybody.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Obviously, an arresting team and Tom, you're the captain,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- have you chosen a name? - We have, yes. West Mids' Finest.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Why is that, West Midlands Finest?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48It's a play on the words from an American police film, Brooklyn's Finest.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- So, you're all members of the West Midlands force, are you?- Yes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- And you're all in a football team, as well?- That's right.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We all know each other through football, mainly.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58But we all work for the West Midlands, as well.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- So, are you in a West Midlands Police football team?- Yes.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02And how do you do?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- LAUGHTER - It's hard work at times
0:02:06 > 0:02:11trying to juggle football and work and home lives but we do well enough at times.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- So, are you ready to kick off now?- Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Let's find out how you do, because this is how it works.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18The show's Brain is divided into six Zones.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Now, The Brain will select four Zones out of those six for you to play.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32And Tom, as team captain, you've got to decide which team member
0:02:32 > 0:02:35you think will play best in each of the Zones, OK?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39You'll face a series of questions in each Zone, with each correct answer
0:02:39 > 0:02:42adding three seconds to what we call your Brain Bank.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46The more time you build up, the more chance you have of beating The Brain
0:02:46 > 0:02:50in today's final, and walking away with the jackpot of £3,000.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54So, let's find out which Zone you'll be facing first.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56So, Brain, the Zone, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Logic. So Tom, who should play in the Logic Zone?- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- You're going to go with me? - You was confident.- I'll have a go.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So, it's Marcus. Come and join me, then, in the Logic Zone.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15APPLAUSE
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Good to see you, Marcus.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Now, what kind of role do you have in the West Midlands Police?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I safeguard domestic violence victims.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26So, when a case has been established you make sure they're safe?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I try and make sure that there are things in place
0:03:28 > 0:03:31so that it doesn't happen again with that person.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34On a lighter note, I think you can limbo quite well, can't you?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm not bad. Sometimes after a few shandies.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I have been known to do a limbo as a bit of a party trick.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Well, we find now how good you are
0:03:42 > 0:03:45at playing Logic. Brain, can we have the first game, please
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Hello, Marcus.- Hello, Brain. - I hear you're scared of monkeys.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Only ones that are chasing after me in Thailand, yes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53LAUGHTER
0:03:53 > 0:03:56You're sitting next to a cheeky monkey.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57HE CHUCKLES
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- OK.- Don't know about that. - Think she likes you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Here's your first game.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Three darts will be thrown.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11You must add up the score and subtract it from the total.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12To help you out, have a trial run.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Double 10,
0:04:15 > 0:04:168,
0:04:16 > 0:04:173.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20That'll leave 470.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- 470, well done. You a darts player? - I don't really play darts -
0:04:25 > 0:04:28my arithmetic's all right, they usually use me to score
0:04:28 > 0:04:29when they're playing darts.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- So, this could be your sort of game, then?- Fingers crossed, yeah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34So, Brain, over to you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Please remember, Marcus, I can only accept your first answer.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Marcus, your game starts now.
0:04:46 > 0:04:4716,
0:04:47 > 0:04:487,
0:04:48 > 0:04:4911.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- 378.- 378...- Oh, sugar!
0:04:53 > 0:04:54..is that right?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- 467.- Miles out!- Next one, please.
0:04:56 > 0:04:5716,
0:04:57 > 0:04:5818,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00double 7.
0:05:00 > 0:05:0444, 48... Leaves 419.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05419, you're saying.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Absolutely right. One to go.
0:05:07 > 0:05:086,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09double 19,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11triple 13.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1338, 44...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16..74, 83...
0:05:17 > 0:05:18..leaves...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- ..436.- 436.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Oh, 336. Oh, no.- No.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27336, having a mare, there.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, dear. Never mind.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Better luck when you're scoring at the pub?- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- You've got three seconds in the Brain Bank to start with.- Yeah.- OK.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41See if you can put a few more in now as you play game two.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Here's your second game, Marcus.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper and paper beats rock.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You need to identify all three missing items.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Marcus, to get your eye in, have a trial run.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- What's the top one on the left? - Top one on the left is rock.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The middle one is, again, rock.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- And the bottom right one would be scissors.- Scissors.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Rock, rock, scissors, you're saying. - Yeah.- Is that correct?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15You are right. You used to play this in the playground?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Yeah, quite a lot, yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- So, ready to play for real? - Ready to play for real.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Can we have the game, please?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27But please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Your game starts now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Top one, paper.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Second one, scissors.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Third one, rock.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Paper, scissors, rock, you're saying... Yeah, well done. Next one.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41First one is scissors.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Second one, paper.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Third one, scissors.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Yes, well done. One to go.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50And the first one is paper,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52second one's scissors,
0:06:52 > 0:06:53third one, paper.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Paper, scissors, paper. Yes!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Well, that was very good.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- That was a very, very impressive game.- Thank you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02You really redeemed yourself on that one.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03I know, I needed to after that first one.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06That was one of my stronger ones, I felt, as well.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Never mind, you were strong on the second one. Wasn't he, Brain?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Yes. Marcus, in true limbo fashion you suddenly bent over backwards
0:07:12 > 0:07:14to get all those right.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18You added 12 seconds in that Zone, which means West Mids' Finest
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- have 12 seconds in their Brain Bank. - A very good score, Marcus.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Lovely to meet you. - Thank you very much.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Please rejoin your fellow officers.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Now it's time to find out what our next Zone is going to be
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and who is going to take it on. So, Brain, the Zone, please.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Observation. So, Captain Tom, who is going to play in this Zone?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You should all be good at Observation!- I'd like to think so!
0:07:46 > 0:07:47THEY LAUGH AND MURMUR
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Until there's a bit of pressure on, the camera!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I'm happy with Observation. - Come and join me, Captain Tom, then.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56APPLAUSE
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Good to see, Tom. Now, I hear you have a nickname....- Apparently.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- ..on the football team. What's that? - Badmin.- Badmin? What does that mean?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Well, I'm the secretary of the club so I do all the admin.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10And when they think I've done a bad job, I then become Badmin.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- So you're bad at admin?- Apparently.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- And yet they still choose you as their captain?- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm the only one that can get these three together
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and actually get them in one place at one time.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- And how do you feel about playing this particular Zone?- I felt strong.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It's part of my day-to-day job, as well, I'd like to think.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I don't want to big that up too much
0:08:28 > 0:08:30in case I don't particularly do well.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32So, let's see how you do.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Brain, what's the first game that Tom is going to be playing?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- Hello, Captain Tom.- Hello, Brain. - I hear you're a comic book geek.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Certainly am. - Who's your favourite?- Spider-Man.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Well, Spider-Man Tom, today I'm going to be your Green Goblin.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Let battle commence.- Let's go for it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51This is your first game.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58What's the difference in value between the two totals?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01To give you some practice, Captain Tom, here's a trial run.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08OK... 1p.
0:09:08 > 0:09:101p, you're saying. Well done, yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Are you a person who always checks their change?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'm constantly putting change in my kids' piggy banks,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17so constantly handling it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well, let's see if you can do well against The Brain, then,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22in this round. Off we go.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Captain Tom, you only have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- And please remember, I can only accept your first answer.- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Your game starts now.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- I'm going to go for 3p. - 3p, you're saying.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40You're right, yes. Next one.
0:09:47 > 0:09:4830 seconds.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- You can pass if you want.- No...
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- £1.50.- £1.50, you think.
0:10:04 > 0:10:0749p. The last one coming up, with 12 seconds.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Quickly. Guess.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- No.- Sorry. Your time is out, I'm afraid.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- OK.- You need to check your small change more carefully in future!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29So the answer was...£1.50.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So, let's go on to the second game now.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- I was very harsh there, wasn't I, Tom?- Yeah, that was a tough one.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Here's your second game.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Count the number of missing bricks.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45To get you in the groove, have a trial run.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52How many bricks have disappeared?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Five, six, seven...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- 11.- 11, you say.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Is he correct?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- 12, it was. You missed one.- OK.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Ready to play for real? - As ready as I'll ever be.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05OK, off we go.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Your game starts now.
0:11:22 > 0:11:2319.
0:11:23 > 0:11:2619, you're saying... Absolutely correct. Second one.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- 18.- 18, you're saying.
0:11:40 > 0:11:4217, it was. Third one coming up.
0:11:55 > 0:11:5820.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Yes. Absolutely right, 20. Just in time.- Just about.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- How do you feel after all that? - A little less stressed.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, let's see what Brain made of your contribution.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I'm an evil villain, aren't I, Tom? - Certainly are.- Whoa-ha-ha!
0:12:13 > 0:12:17You added nine seconds in that Zone, which means in total
0:12:17 > 0:12:20West Mids' Finest have 21 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21That is not bad at all!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23APPLAUSE
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Well done, Tom.- Ta. - Nice to meet you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- If you could rejoin your fellow team-mates.- Thank you.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So, we're about halfway through the show now, so the two who
0:12:31 > 0:12:34haven't played yet, Richard and Dan, how are you feeling?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38All right. To be fair, it's probably not as easy once you're up there
0:12:38 > 0:12:40and the pressure's on.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Still quietly confident that I can deliver when I get up there.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- They've not done badly, have they, Dan?- No, not at all.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I'm getting worried about which Zone I'm going to get now.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52They're quickly dwindling, so...we'll see.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Right, let's find out which Zone is next and who is going to take on.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Brain, the Zone, please.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It's Memory. So Tom, is that going to be Richard or Dan?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- I've got an awful memory, I have, so...- I guess I'll take this one.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Take one for the team, then.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Richard, come and join me, please, in the Memory Zone.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15APPLAUSE
0:13:17 > 0:13:18- How are you?- Good, thank you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Now, you're a response officer in the police force.- Correct, I am, yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- That means you get to sound the siren and flash the red lights and things?- Yeah, basically.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29We're the front line, the tip of the sword,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31if you like, when that 999 call comes in.
0:13:31 > 0:13:3599 times out of 100, we're responding first to that incident.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Right. And as a footballer, are you any good?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Well, obviously open to debate, but I like to think I'm all right, yeah.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Well, I have heard that you've been on Match Of The Day.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yes, nearly ten years ago now.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I scored a goal in the FA Cup for Leamington, which was quite a good
0:13:51 > 0:13:54goal, albeit it in a 9-1 defeat in the first round of the FA Cup.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- A 9-1 defeat?- Yeah, to Colchester, but...- So you scored the only goal?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Yeah, I got a consolation goal, but it was a good goal and...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- And it got on Match Of The Day. - Yeah, it got some praise.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- And it meant your team were not whitewashed.- Absolutely. We took something from the day.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- You're not going to be whitewashed today.- I hope not. We're doing OK. - You've done all right so far.- Yeah.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Let's see how you do in the Memory Zone. There's another 18 precious seconds on offer in this Zone,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19that's three seconds for every correct answer.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Are you ready to play? - I'm ready to play.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Brain, can we have the first game, please?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Hello, hello, hello, Richard. - Hello, Brain.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27You're a fair cop!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Thank you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Let's get on with it, shall we? Here's the first game.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Richard, you will see four named pictures.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42The pictures will disappear. One will come back. Tell us what its name is.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You can warm up with a trial run.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Who was the telephone?- I think the telephone was Hartnell.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Hartnell, you're saying. Is that right?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It was indeed!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You should be good in the Memory Zone.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- You need a pretty good memory in your job.- You do, you do.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- So, let's see how you do, shall we? - Let's go.- Let's play for real.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Your game starts now.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Sybil.- Sybil, you're saying.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Is that right...? Yes. Correct. Next one.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Who's that?- That's Nero.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Nero.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yes, well done. You do have a good memory.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I think that was Marge.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Marge, you're saying. Let's see if that's right.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47No, it was Homer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Never mind. That was a good start for you, Richard.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Not too bad.- Are you ready for the next game?- I am ready.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Right. Off we go.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Here's your next game, Richard.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Identify the winning line in this game of noughts and crosses.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Here's a trial run.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12A, B, C or D?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Oh...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I got it in my head that it was something completely different.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Um...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21This is a guess now, but I'm going to go with B.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I'm pretty sure there was a zero in the middle.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25- Well, you're right.- Yeah.- Well done.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Do you play noughts and crosses? - Now and again, yeah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29One of those things.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32What I like to do when we play this game is to concentrate
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- either on the noughts or the crosses.- OK. That'll do me then.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- One or the other. So, shall we play? - Let's play.- OK, Brain.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42A game, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Please remember, Richard, I can only accept your first answer.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Your game starts now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Which one?- That was D. - D, you're saying.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Let's see if that's right. You were very confident.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Yes, you are. That's correct. Next one.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- And on this occasion, it was C. - C. Very confident. Is that right?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Yes, it is. My tip's working. - It is.- Next one.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Based on your tip, I'm going with A.- A, all my fault.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Yeah, well...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33That's good! That was maximum, nine seconds in that round.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- A very good Zone for you, wasn't it?- Yeah, OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So, Brain, what do you think about Richard?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Well, Richard, that performance may have just earned you some
0:17:40 > 0:17:43extra cash in today's final. And I like your beard.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- Thank you.- Richard, you added 15 seconds in that Zone.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48This means in total,
0:17:48 > 0:17:53West Mids' Finest have 36 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- That is good, yeah. Well done, Richard.- Thank you.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Nice to meet you.- Thank you, and yourself.- Rejoin the team. - APPLAUSE
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- So, Dan, you're the only player left now.- I know.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I was hoping it wouldn't boil down to this.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Why don't you come and join me
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and we'll find out which of the three Zones you'll be facing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13APPLAUSE
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Hi, John.- How are you right now, then?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'm all right. Bit nervous, but erm...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Cos I don't know what my last Zone's going to be.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27No, because we've got three left. We've got Language, Orientation and Multitasking.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Which one would you like? - I'd like Language.- Why's that?
0:18:30 > 0:18:35My mum's a retired English teacher, so I was corrected a lot as a child.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- So I'm hoping I'd be all right at Language.- Which one would you dread?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Multitasking.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Just not very good at multitasking, if I'm honest.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46So I'll probably get that one!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- And you've been a police officer for how long?- 11 years now.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Have you always played with the football team as well?- Yeah.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58I started playing football with the police team as soon as I joined, so over a decade ago.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Have you had any nasty accidents?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Yeah, I've got one which I sport the scar from. On my head here.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07This was caused by running into one of my own players.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- One of your own players?- Yeah. And we both ended up in A&E.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- So I'm glad I avoided that Zone. - Yes. Well, I hope nothing disastrous is going to happen to you today.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- I hope not. - Let's find out which of the Zones you're going to be playing.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It's Multitasking. What do you think of that?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well, that's typical, isn't it? So...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'll give it my best shot and see how we get on.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Brain, reveal the first game that Dan is going to be playing today.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Hello, Detective Dan. - Hello, Brain.- Don't be nervous.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- How do you like your sausages? - Grilled.- Correct. See? You're good.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- There we go. - Here's your first game.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Tell me how many people are left on the bus, not including the driver.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Have yourself a trial run.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- How many do you reckon? Not including the driver.- I think two.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Two, you're saying. Is he right?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- You are indeed. Yeah. So, are you ready to play?- Yeah, let's do it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- Off we go.- Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Your game starts now.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- How many on the bus?- One.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29One, you say.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Is that right?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Yes, it is indeed. So, the next one, please. The next bus.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I was trying to count on my fingers and I ran out, so um...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I'm going to go with three. - Three on the bus.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Let's see.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Yes, you were right. Well, you did well.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You're better than you thought at multitasking.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Proved the women wrong!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Here comes your last one.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13How many left on that bus?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- I think there's four left. - Four, you're thinking.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's see if that's right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- And it is indeed! Well done! - APPLAUSE
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Yeah, a lot of people find that a really difficult game, but not you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- You got nine seconds. - Yeah, that was all right, I think.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- So, let's have game two, shall we? - Yeah.- Please, Brain?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all, Dan.- Sorry, Brain.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Here's your second game.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Dan, when the number of sheep matches the number I say,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45add that number to the total.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Here's a trial run.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Three.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Three.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Four.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51One.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Two.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Two.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Three.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55One.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Two.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Four.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I'm going to go with 12. - 12, you're saying.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Let's have a look and see. Yes, you're absolutely right.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You obviously understand the rules of this game,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- which can be quite complicated. - Yeah.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Again, I'm hoping they don't get too quick cos that's
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- when I'll struggle to keep up. - Oh, you never know with the Brain!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'm sure they well might.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- So be prepared for that. OK?- Right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- Ready to play?- Yeah, let's do it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Off we go.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Your game starts now.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Four. Three.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Four. One.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Three. Two.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Three. One.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Three. Two.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- What's the total? - I think it's 12, John.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4112, you reckon, Dan. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Yes, it is. Well done. Next one.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Three. Three.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47One. One.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49One. Four.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Two. Two.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51One. Three.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Is it eight, John?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Eight is your total. Let's see if that's correct.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- It is. You're on your way to maximum seconds.- It's the biggie now.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03In this Zone, so one more game.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Three. Two.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Four. Four.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07One. Four.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Three. Two.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Two. Three.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Oh, I nearly lost it at the end. I'm going to go with 14, John.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1714. Let's see if that's correct.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- And it is. Fantastic! Well done! - APPLAUSE
0:23:20 > 0:23:23That was a really, really good performance.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Yes, the Brain tried to beat and she didn't, did you, Brain?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Absolutely not. A clean sweep, Dan.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33You added 18 seconds in that Zone.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36West Mids' Finest have finished with a
0:23:36 > 0:23:40grand total of 54 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- APPLAUSE - Well, that should be very useful indeed. Good to see you, Dan.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Please rejoin the team.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Well, we've finished the individual Zones now
0:23:47 > 0:23:51and it's time for to try to beat the Brain one last time
0:23:51 > 0:23:54and take home some really serious cash in today's final.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Well, West Mids' Finest, you've racked up 54 seconds
0:24:01 > 0:24:05in your Brain Bank and now you have the chance to turn time into money.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You need to answer eight questions correctly, that's two each,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12within the 54 seconds to win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15If you can't do that, fear not, because The Brain has given
0:24:15 > 0:24:18you another two minutes to get the correct answers.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Once you hit two minutes though,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23the money starts counting down at the rate of £25 a second.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So the longer you take, the less you win,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and when the time runs out, so does all the cash.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31OK? Tom, as the captain,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34you've chosen the order in which your team are going to play.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- What's your logic behind that? - I've taken Daniel as the strongest,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39as he answered all his questions correctly,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43and we've gone working backwards, so Rich was the second strongest
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and then me and Marcus tried our best.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47LAUGHTER
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Right. It's time to get serious. Let's start today's final.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Over to you, Brain.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56You'll only face questions from the games you've already seen today,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00but for every game in the final, I will only accept your first answer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04West Mids' Finest, beat me if you can.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Yes, that's the big challenge. Can you beat the Brain?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10And as always, Dan, we'll start off with the player on the left, that's you.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Give me two correct answers before I can pass on to the next
0:25:14 > 0:25:17player down the line and so on. Let's start the final.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Remember the image and name.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Compo.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Three, 19, treble 7.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Subtract the score.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36558.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39No.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Two. One.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Four. Two.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43One.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Five.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Yes. Richard, count the missing bricks.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5512.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Which line won the game?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05D.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Yes. Marcus.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Paper, scissors, scissors.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Yes.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21How many on the bus?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Four.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Yes. Tom. What's the difference?
0:26:31 > 0:26:3330p.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Yes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Double 19, four, five.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Subtract the score.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Pass.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Merry.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Stop the clock.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57APPLAUSE
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Well, congratulations - eight correct answers,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02you've won £2,000.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Yes!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well done, everybody.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15A tremendous victory, West Mids'. Well done. Brain, it was a fair cop.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Absolutely. You caught me bang to rights.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22What a fine bunch of gentlemen you are. Congratulations.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Cheers, Brain.- Well done, everybody. I hope you enjoyed playing the game.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And thank you, everybody at home, for watching today.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I hope you enjoyed it as well.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35- For now though, it's goodbye from West Mids' Finest...- Bye.- Goodbye!
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Goodbye from the Brain...- Goodbye.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39And from me. See you again next time.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Before you go, let's see the answers to the questions
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I set you at home at the start of the show.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Count the missing bricks.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59The answer is...
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And what about the second game? Memorise the names and image.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The answer is...
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Whether you got these right or wrong, you can always
0:28:14 > 0:28:18improve your intellect by watching us next time on Beat The Brain.
