0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hello, it's me - The Brain.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07These are the kind of challenges
0:00:07 > 0:00:08our team will face today.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Have a go at home.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Solve the riddle.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Try one more.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25What number plate do you see?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I'll relieve your anxiety by giving you the answers
0:00:33 > 0:00:34at the end of the show.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Now, let's see if four brains are better than one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's Beat The Brain.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Please meet the man who runs rings around other quiz show presenters.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03It's John Craven.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, thank you very much. Hello, welcome to Beat The Brain.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Now, depending on what sort of mood The Brain is in,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12you may feel as if you've run a mental marathon
0:01:12 > 0:01:13by the end of today's show.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So, give us a clue. Brain, what kind of mood are you in?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19A fierce one today, Johnny. A fierce one.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm going to leave everyone breathless.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Well, is that an empty threat? I've got a feeling
0:01:23 > 0:01:26that our team today are going to run rings around her.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Please introduce yourselves.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Hi, I'm Chris, and I've been an air traffic controller for 18 months.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm Shaun, and I've been an air traffic controller for six years.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm James, and I've been an air traffic controller
0:01:37 > 0:01:38for two and a half years.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hi, I'm Wes. I'm the team captain,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and I've been an air traffic controller for 12 years.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Well, welcome, everybody.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And, Wes, as team captain, what team name have you chosen?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Our team name is No Direction. - And why on earth is that?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Well, as air traffic controllers,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54we're used to giving aircraft direction.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Shaun, such a huge fan of the boy band,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59so he demanded that we incorporate that into our name,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00and we have come up with No Direction.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Air traffic controllers, are you ready to take off?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04ALL: We are.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Well, this is how it works.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08The show's Brain is divided into six Zones.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Now, The Brain will select four of those six Zones
0:02:17 > 0:02:18for you to play today.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And, Wes, as the team captain, you must decide
0:02:21 > 0:02:23which member of your team will perform best
0:02:23 > 0:02:25in each of those Zones. OK?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27You will face a series of questions in our Zone
0:02:27 > 0:02:30with each correct answer adding three seconds
0:02:30 > 0:02:32to what we call the Brain Bank.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33And the more time you build up,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36the more chance you have of beating The Brain in today's final
0:02:36 > 0:02:40and walking away with a jackpot of £3,000.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So, No Direction, it's chocks away. OK?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Let's find out what the first Zone is and who will be facing it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Brain, the Zone, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Orientation, it is, Wes.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00So who do you reckon is going to be best at that?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05I think...I think I'd like to take this one as the first hit.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Set the standard high.- What do you think?- If you feel confident.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- I think we need to save you just in case...- Save me?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14No, we need to save Shaun in case Multitasking comes up.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- I'll take this one, John. - OK, captain first, then.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Come and join me, Wes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- So, how long have you been a controller?- 12 years.- Wow!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What made you decide to go in for that, then?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- They wouldn't take me as a pilot. - Oh, dear.- No.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Why...why wouldn't they take you?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Because I had hay fever. It's always the way, honestly, but then...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Always some small, little medical reason.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Yeah, of course, there are no pilots out there with hay fever.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- No, of course not. - And not that I'm bitter.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Well, all the very best as we play the first Zone.- Thank you very much.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Brain, what is the first game, please?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Hello, captain Wes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Hello, Brain.- I like your bowtie. - Thank you very much.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- What's the pattern? - It's cats and fish.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Oh, you're cute.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Are you ready for liftoff? - I am.- Here's your first game.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Follow the car's journey and identify in which direction it ends up facing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10To help you out, have a trial run.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Turn left.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Turn right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Turn left.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Which direction...- West. - ..No Direction?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25HE LAUGHS
0:04:25 > 0:04:28West, you're saying. Let's have a look.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29You are absolutely correct.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31OK, Brain, let's play the game.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Captain Wes, please remember, I can only accept your first answer.- OK.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40And every correct answer will add three seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Your game starts now.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Turn left.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Turn left.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51U-turn.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- North.- North, you're saying. Are you correct?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58You are indeed. Well done, Wes. On to the next one, please.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04U-turn.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06U-turn.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Turn left.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Turn left.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- South.- South, you're saying now. Is that right?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14It is, yes. Well done.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Two out of three. One more to go.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Turn left.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Turn left.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Turn left.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28U-turn.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29- West.- West, you're saying.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32You are correct. Well, full house.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You weren't put off by that quick U-turn at the end?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36No, they were tricky. Those U-turns can really throw you,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38especially the east-west direction.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yeah, I must admit - I got the wrong answer on that one.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Let's find out what game two has in store for you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Maybe I was a little too kind there.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Here's your second game.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Captain Wes, which wheel matches the one on the left?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55To get your eye in, you can have a trial run.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00A, B, C or D?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- A.- A, you're saying.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Let's see if you're right. You are indeed. Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- No problems there so far. - That's tricky.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- That is a trickier one, isn't it? - That's a tricky one, yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Let's see how you do, cos we're ready to play?- Yes.- Off we go.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16You have a maximum of 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Your game starts now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- B.- Let's see if you're right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31You are, yeah. Next one.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38B.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Yes, well done.
0:06:41 > 0:06:4325 seconds to go.
0:06:52 > 0:06:5315 seconds.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- C.- C, you are saying. Is that correct?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Yes, it is, yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Maximum seconds, I make that. So, what do you think, Brain?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Captain Wes, I thought you liked me.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10That was a clean sweep.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13If you keep this up, my jackpot will be in jeopardy.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Wes, you added 18 seconds in that Zone.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20This means, in total, No Direction have 18 seconds
0:07:20 > 0:07:22in their Brain Bank.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- What a good start!- Thank you. - Nice to meet you.- Thanks, John.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28So, now it's time to find out our next Zone, please,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and who is going to take it on.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Brain, the Zone, please.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Language, it is. So, Wes, who are you selecting for the Language Zone?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Right, it's a difficult one, this,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45because none of us are really language-orientated.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Captain's decision.- OK, let's go. Erm...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- ..Shaun.- OK.- Come and join me, Shaun in the Language Zone.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- How are you doing? - Yeah, not too bad. Thank you.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- He gave you a very good start, didn't he?- He did.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- He set the bar high.- Didn't he? No pressure.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04No, and with a topic like Language as well.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06What made you become an air traffic controller, then?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I enjoy being mentally challenged. It keeps you on your toes, so...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Yeah, you got to really be very logistical, haven't you?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14That's correct. Yeah, there's a lot of set skills that...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16And there is language involved, isn't there?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- You do have to speak to people. - Yeah, you speak to each other.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Speak to the pilots, make sure they can understand what you're saying.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Yeah, indeed.- So, are you ready to play?- Ready.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Well, let's play the Language Zone.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Brain, please, reveal the first game.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Hello, Shaun.- Hello, Brain.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32This is your first game.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Use one letter from each column to create a word.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The clue will help you find it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43To give you some practice, Shaun, have a trial run.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's one letter from each column to make...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Drum.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I think there's 'drum' in there. - Drum. Let's have a look and see.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yes, you're right. Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- So, not too hard...- Whoa. - ..to start with for you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- We shall see if they're all... - We shall see.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well, let's see what hidden words
0:09:03 > 0:09:06we have in store for you as we play the game.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13But, please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Your game starts now.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Pink.- Pink, you're saying.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Well done, yes. Well done.
0:09:25 > 0:09:2635 seconds left.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Boot.- Boot.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Yeah, very good. Very quick.
0:09:39 > 0:09:4020 seconds left.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Ten seconds.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Five. Put in a guess? - I can't see it.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- An extra letter in there, wasn't there?- Yeah, there is.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Time's out.- Can't see it. - Let's reveal what the answer is.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's 'dress'.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07It's top, bottom, top, bottom.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now, you can see it, can't you? Yes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Bad luck, but in a Zone that you didn't particularly want,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16you're doing very well so far. OK, so let's see how you do in game two.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- I got you there, Shaun.- You did.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Here's your second game.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26What word is missing from all three others?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Have a trial run.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Any ideas?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44No.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45I'm seeing words,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48but not necessarily a three-letter word that's...
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I see 'badge' or...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Let me give you a clue cos I think I've got it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It starts with R.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02- Rid.- Rid.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Yes, rid.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Let's have a look and see. - I saw 'corridor', but...- Correct.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Are you ready to play, Shaun? - We'll give it a go.- OK.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Off we go, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Shaun, you can have as many guesses as you like, but I will not move on
0:11:17 > 0:11:20to the next question until you give me the correct answer
0:11:20 > 0:11:21or you can pass.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24You only have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Your game starts now.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- The.- The. Well done, yes. Next one. 30 seconds to go.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Gin.- Gin. Yes, well done. Last one.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- 20 seconds.- Out.- Out.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Yes! Well done, Shaun. Wow! - Trial run helped.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Big relief there for you, eh? - Yeah, I was feeling the pressure
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- about the trial run.- That trial run really flummoxed you, didn't it?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Yeah.- But that is a very good score. - Thank you.- Isn't it, Brain?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Were you teasing me, Shaun? You were so bad in the trial run.- Thanks!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Every second counts in the final,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and that score has helped out a lot, Shaun.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19You added 15 seconds in that Zone.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23This means, in total, No Direction have 33 seconds
0:12:23 > 0:12:24in their Brain Bank.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That is very good at halfway.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31So, well done, Shaun. Please rejoin the other controllers.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Well, great going so far,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35but remember, of course, the aim of the game, at this stage,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38is to get as many right as you can and add as much time as you can
0:12:38 > 0:12:40to your Brain Bank. The better you do,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44the greater chance you have of beating The Brain in today's final
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and winning a £3,000 jackpot.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And, at this stage, it's looking pretty good for you.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53So, let's find out which Zone is next and who is going to take it on.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Brain, the Zone, please.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK, Wes, who is going to be playing this?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Right, so we've got Observation, Logic and Memory
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- and Multitasking to go.- Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- I'm happy with Observation.- Are you? - Yeah.- OK, in that case, then,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- we'll take James for Observation. - James. Good.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Come and join me, then, in the Observation Zone.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22- How are you?- I'm good, thank you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Now, you wear both hats, don't you,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- cos you're a traffic controller and you're also a pilot.- I am, yes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- So, I see...I see it from both sides.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- How old were you when...? Because you look pretty young now.- Thanks.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- How old were you when you became a pilot?- I was...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I started my first flying with the Air Cadets at age 15.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Really?- I flew my first aircraft solo at the age of 19.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- And that wasn't long after I had the driving licence.- Oh, wow.- So...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yeah, a lot of responsibility.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Which do you prefer - flying or controlling the flyers?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50I think I prefer to be flying,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52but controlling, I do enjoy as well, so...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54So, you're used to pressure.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57So, let's see how you do when The Brain provides a bit for you.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So, let's play the Observation Zone.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Brain, the first game, please.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Hello, James.- Hello, Brain.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07If you think you can beat me, wiggle your ears.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09JOHN LAUGHS
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Oh, dear.- How was that?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Very good! Here's your first game.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21James, tell me which number plate you saw.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23You can warm up with a trial run.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Number five.- Number five, you reckon? Was that correct?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- It was indeed. - JAMES SIGHS
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- So, we're going to play for real. Are you ready?- Let's go.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45OK, Brain, bring on the game.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Every correct answer will add three seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Your game starts now.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Number six.- Number six, you're saying.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Is that correct?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It was. Well done. Next one, please.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Number three.- Number three, you think. Was that correct?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Yes, it was.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33One more to go. You're doing incredibly well, James.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Number two.- Number two.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well done. Went the opposite direction that time.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- That threw me.- But that didn't put you off, did it? No.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54So, well done. I mean, that is maximum seconds on that first game.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Yeah, that was tough.- What a game!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58What a performance by this team.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Brain must be shuddering at this moment. Are you, Brain?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Absolutely. This is making me very, very sad indeed.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Well, can we have the second game, please?- Of course, you can, Johnny.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Tell me the order the balloons pop.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Have a trial run, James.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26That was red, yellow, blue, I think.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Is that right?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Yes, it was indeed. Good. Excellent. Happy to play?
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Let's see what happens. - See what happens. Off we go.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Remember, I can only accept your first answer, James.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Your game starts now.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Blue, red, white. - Blue, red, white. Is that right?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It is indeed. Next one, please.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01White, yellow, red.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04White, yellow, red.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- HE SIGHS - No. White, red, yellow.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08One more to go.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Blue, white, yellow, red.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Blue, white, yellow, red.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Yes, well done. Yeah, that was a harder one...- That was very tough.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- ..because there were four going off there, weren't there?- Yeah.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26So, I reckon you can be pretty proud of your performance, James.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30You held the banner high for the team. Didn't he, Brain?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Absolutely. James, you added 15 seconds in that Zone.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38This means, in total, No Direction have 48 seconds
0:17:38 > 0:17:39in their Brain Bank.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Wow!- Cheers.- Very good indeed.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Nice to see you, James, and all the very best.- Thank you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Well, Chris, you are our final player today,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48so why don't you come and join me,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and we'll find out which of the three remaining Zones
0:17:51 > 0:17:54you will be facing. So, come over here, please.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Good to see you, Chris. - Good to see you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Now, you look to be the youngest. - I am the youngest.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06And what made you become a controller, then?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's something that I felt played to my skills.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09A lot of people dream of being a pilot
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and being involved with that sort of thing.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It's, again, a thing that I can do,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- so I wanted to get involved within...- In aviation.- Yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- But you used to be a police officer, didn't you?- I did. Briefly.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Any special things happened to you then?- Eh...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I might have accidentally pranged a police car
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- into another police car. - Really? Might have done?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Well, no, I did.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It didn't go down particularly well, and it was quite early on.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And it might have led to certain things happening afterwards
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and why I'm not a policeman any more, maybe.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Oh, no. Well, I make out that you have Logic left
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and Multitasking and Memory.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, which one of those three would you like to get?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Erm...Multitasking, potentially.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Well, let's find out what The Brain has got for you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Brain, a Zone, please.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- It's Logic. Well, that's not too bad, then, is it?- Will do.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04So, Brain, can we have the first game, please?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Hello, Christopher.- Hello. - You are a bonny lad.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Thank you very much, Brain.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13You're going to be nice to me and do very badly, aren't you?
0:19:13 > 0:19:14- Yes.- Good boy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Here's your first game.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I will show you a series of four pictures,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and your challenge is to find the common link.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Christopher, have yourself a trial run.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Yeah, call out what you see there,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35and you might find out the link.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41Beach, apple, fur, palm.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Palm of the hand.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Tree. Types of tree. Palm tree...
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Shall we find out what the answer is?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- It was tree. That's what you said, isn't it?- It was.- Well done.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So, you were pretty quick on that one.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It's not the easiest of games, this, I don't think.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00No, I don't either.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03So, let's see how you do. Please can we play the game?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You can have as many guesses as you like, Chris,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08but I will not move on to the next question
0:20:08 > 0:20:11until you give me the correct answer or you can pass.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15You only have 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Your game starts now.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Pen, pocket, bread, kitchen.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Bin.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Wash...bread.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Basket.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33- Ink.- 30 seconds left.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- You can pass this... - Yeah, let's pass this one.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Pass that one. All right. Knife. - Oh, knife.- Next one, please.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Polo, tee, rugby, dress.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Shirt. Rugby shirt, T-shirt.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Shirt. Well done. Last one.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Diamond, pearl, China, gold.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Five seconds left. Take a guess.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Type... Anniversaries.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Oh, you got it just in time.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- Anniversary. Well done.- Thank you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08So, that is two out of three.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm happy with that.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- A lot of people, including me, struggle with that game.- Yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15So, I think you did very well
0:21:15 > 0:21:17especially as it is against the clock.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19You're worrying about the time ticking away
0:21:19 > 0:21:22as well as getting the answer. Let's have the second game, please.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Well done, Chris. You added some valuable seconds there.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Here's your second game.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Use the clues to work out the position of a particular animal.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The clues describe the animals from your perspective.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Have a trial run.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45JOHN READS
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Oh, wow.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Where do you think Lottie might be?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- It's my perspective, isn't it?- Yeah. - We said this earlier.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Erm...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10So, Lottie must be on the right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- You're saying 'right'?- Yeah.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Let's have a look and see.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Yeah, you're absolutely correct.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Yeah.- Yeah.- Are you ready for that? - Yes!
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Right, off we go, please, Brain.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Remember, I'll only accept your first answer.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Your game starts now.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37It's that on the right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39On the right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41No, on the left. Next one.
0:22:43 > 0:22:4430 seconds left.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5520 seconds.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- You can pass if you want.- Left.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Left, you're saying. Is that right?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00No, it was 'right'.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Here comes the last one.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Ten seconds left.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Centre.- In the centre?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yes, well done. Yeah, good.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Brain, I think you managed to...perplex him a little.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17I did, didn't I?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20But he still managed to get valuable seconds for the final.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Chris, you added nine seconds in that Zone,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28which means, No Direction, you have finished with a grand total
0:23:28 > 0:23:31of 57 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Very good indeed.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Chris, I hope you enjoyed playing the game.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Please rejoin the team.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well, we've finished the individual Zones now,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42and it's time for our team to try to beat The Brain
0:23:42 > 0:23:46one last time and take home some serious cash in today's final.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53No Direction, you added an impressive 57 seconds
0:23:53 > 0:23:56to your Brain Bank in the four opening Zones.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Your task, now, is to answer eight questions correctly,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01that's two each, as quickly as you can.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Do that within your 57 seconds,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06and you'll win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09If you can't do that, there is still a chance to win some money
0:24:09 > 0:24:12because The Brain has kindly given you another two minutes
0:24:12 > 0:24:15in which to find the answers, but there is a catch.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19As the time counts down, so does the money at the rate of £25 a second.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Take too long,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24and both the time and the money will run out, leaving you with nothing.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Well, Wes, as team captain, you've chosen the order of play.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30What's your reasoning behind that?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Well, I think it's all about how we start and how we finish today.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34So, I picked Shaun for a strong start,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and, as team captain, if it all goes wrong,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I can take the blame at the end as the person who finishes.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yeah, all your fault. You are the anchorman there.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, are you all ready? Because it is time to get serious.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Let's start today's final.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Brain, over to you.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54You will only face questions from the games you've already seen today.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58But for every game in the final, I will only accept your first answer.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02No Direction, beat me if you can.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That is your challenge, and, as always,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07we will start with the player on the left. That is you, Shaun.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I need two correct answers from you before we can pass down the line.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Understand, everybody?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15The best of luck. Let's get underway.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Let's play the final.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Which wheel matches the one on the left?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25C.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Correct.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Yellow, white, red.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Yes. Chris, what is the missing word?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Age.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Correct.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Solve the riddle.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Left.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51No.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Turn left.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Turn left.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Turn left.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Which direction?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- HE MUMBLES - East.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Yes. James, find the hidden word.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Fork.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Correct.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11What's the connection?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- BUZZER - Pass.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25What number plate.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Six.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Correct.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Wes, which wheel matches
0:26:30 > 0:26:32the one on the left?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35D.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Solve the riddle.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Right.- Stop the clock.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47THEY CHEER
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Well, congratulations.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Eight correct answers, and you have won £2,325.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- So, how about that, Wes? - That last one was a guess.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- THEY LAUGH - A very good guess.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- It earned you a lot of money. - Happy with that.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04No, the team have done really well there.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I mean, that last round had a few fastballs.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08The games were quicker and more difficult,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10and everyone maintained their focus. It was good.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Well, The Brain was determined to catch you, but she didn't, did she?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Just wait till we catch her!
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- How about that, Brain? - SHE SIGHS
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Oh, I thought I was going to be a high-flyer then,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22but you boys have brought me back down to the ground
0:27:22 > 0:27:24very safely, though, I may say.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Congratulations.- Yes, congratulations from all of us.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And thank you at home for watching today.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30I hope you enjoyed playing along.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33For now, though, it's goodbye from No Direction.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34- Bye.- Bye.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Goodbye from Brain.- Goodbye.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38And it's goodbye from me. See you next time.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Before you go, let's see the answers to the questions
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I set you at home at the start of the show.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Solve the riddle.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The answer is...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Poppins is on the left.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00And what about the second game? What number plate do you see?
0:28:05 > 0:28:06The answer is...
0:28:06 > 0:28:07three.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Whether you got these right or wrong,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12you can always improve your intellect
0:28:12 > 0:28:15by watching us next time on Beat The Brain.
