0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hello, Ms Brain here.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08It's nearly time to see if our team of four have
0:00:08 > 0:00:10the mental toughness to beat me.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13But first here's a couple of challenges for you to try at home.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Are they left or right hands?
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Now try this one.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30How many times does each arrow pass its needle?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'll ease your pain by giving you the answers at the end of the show.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Now watch today's team attempt to use all their grey matter in a contest to
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Beat The Brain!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Please welcome a man who is not afraid of a challenge -
0:01:06 > 0:01:08it's John Craven!
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Well, thank you, hello and welcome to a brand-new show, Beat The Brain,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16the quiz that tests not what you know, but how your mind works.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18So get ready for a half-hour mental workout
0:01:18 > 0:01:22with challenging questions and tricky puzzles
0:01:22 > 0:01:24set by our resident brain.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26So, what have you got for us today, Brain?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh, I've got 86 billion neurons, Johnny,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and some wonderfully complex games. I'm ready to play.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, that sounds very intimidating,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I wonder how our team are going to cope?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Let's meet them now. Please introduce yourselves.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm Rosie and I'm a student nurse.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm Heather, I'm also a student nurse.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I'm Brian and I'm also a student nurse.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'm Jessica, I'm team captain, and you guessed it,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm also a student nurse.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Well, welcome, everybody. All studying at Huddersfield University.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Jessica, you're the team captain,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- what name have you chosen for the team?- Erm, we decided on Adrenaline.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Adrenaline. A good medical word, but why choose it for your team?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Not only are four brains better than one, but obviously, four brains
0:02:08 > 0:02:12on adrenaline, er, would give us the oomph we needed to beat the Brain.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Are you feeling a bit high on adrenaline at the moment, Heather?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And, Jessica,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21you're also president of the nursing society at the uni, aren't you?
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Yeah, and we're all members of the graduation ball as well.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We're organising that this year.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Oh, so not long to go till the big ball.- No.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I hope that you don't need medical attention yourself afterwards!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36LAUGHTER
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- Are you ready to play? - ALL: Yes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Well, this is how it works.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42The show's brain is divided into six zones.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Logic, Memory, Orientation,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Observation, Language and Multi-tasking.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, the Brain will select four out of those six zones for you
0:02:51 > 0:02:54to play today, and, Jessica, as the captain, you must decide
0:02:54 > 0:02:58which team member you think is best for playing each of those zones, OK?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You'll face a series of questions in your zone,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03with each correct answer adding three seconds
0:03:03 > 0:03:06to what we call your Brain Bank, and the more time you build up,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10the better chance you have of beating the Brain in today's final
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and walking away with our jackpot of £3,000.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- So, are you ready to play? - ALL: Yes.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Good, well, time to find out which zone you'll be facing first,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22so, Brain, the zone please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's Memory.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34So, Jessica, who are you going to nominate for the Memory Zone?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I think, seeing as Rosie's the youngest member of our group,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I think she'll be able to retain information longer than
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- us more mature members. - Yeah.- Brain's a bit younger.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Yeah, so I pick Rosie.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Rosie, come and join me, please.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- So, you are the youngest. How old are you?- I'm 20.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56And what made you decide to go in for nursing?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It's always been a childhood kind of dream for me to do nursing,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and I just, I love it, everything about it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And d'you think you've got a pretty good memory?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I hope so, yeah, I think I do. I like to think I do!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Are you ready for the Brain to put you to the test?- I am indeed.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Right, OK, well, you'll play two games in this zone.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Both games have three questions worth three seconds each,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19so, Brain, what's the first game?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Hello, Rosie.- Hello, Brain.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Show me your thumbs.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- They're double-jointed.- Are they?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I, see, I think, yeah, they are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Can you wiggle 'em both ways?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Yes!- Yeah, thank you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34How wonderful, that made me happy.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Here's your first game.- OK.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Rosie, you will see four named pictures.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44The pictures will disappear.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47One will come back. Tell us what its name is.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- OK.- To help you out, have a trial run.- OK.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Sporty.- Sporty. Are you right?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- You are.- Yay! - So, are you a Spice Girls fan?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Yes, I was trying to remember. - But not in that kind of form anyway!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- No, er, no, but... - Are you ready to play?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09I am, yes, definitely.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Off we go, then. The game, please, Brain.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.- OK.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Every correct answer will add three seconds to your Brain Bank.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Your game starts now.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27The Beatles. Who was a yellow hat?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Was it Ringo?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Ringo, the hard hat, you think. Are you right?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- No, it was John.- No.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I'm a Beatles fan as well! Sorry.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Never mind, here's another one for you.- Right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Denise.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Denise, you think.- Was it Denise?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Ah, yes!- Yeah, well done.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Yay.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Yes, so, er, the last one.- OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Morecambe.- Who was the broccoli? Morecambe, you think.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Was it Morecambe? - Let's see if you were right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Yes!- Yes, you were. - Sorry, a bit hasty then.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Well, that's two out of three.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- That's six valuable seconds to start with.- Yes, it is, that's good.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Yes, OK. Ready for the next one? - I am, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Could we have Game Two, then, please, Brain?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Rosie, here's your second game.- OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Remember where the pictures were once they've disappeared.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25To get your eye in, have a trial run.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Doughnuts, dummy and a sling.- Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Where are the doughnuts? - They're in 1 and 3.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- 1 and 3, you're saying?- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Yes. Well done, that's correct. - Thank you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45See, I like doughnuts, so it's easy for me to remember.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I hope you do as well when you play for real.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Thank you. I hope so, too.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Let's play, please.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Please remember, I can only accept your first answer.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- OK.- Your game starts now.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Where are the roller-skates?- Erm...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- 4 and 6.- 4 and 6.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Is that right? Yes!- Yes! Nice one!- Jolly good.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, the second one coming up.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Not doing too bad. OK. - More in this time.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Where are the martinis?
0:07:22 > 0:07:257, 2 and 3.
0:07:25 > 0:07:277, 2 and 3?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Yes.- Nice one!- You're good at remembering martinis!- I am.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33LAUGHTER
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- So, are you ready for the last one? - I am. Oh, wow, OK. More.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43OK. I'm a Sherlock fan, so it should be OK.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Where are the pipes?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50OK, erm... 9, 6, 7 and 12.
0:07:50 > 0:07:549, 6, 7 and 12.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Is that right?- It is!- Yes! Thank you.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- That was an amazing performance. - It is. Oh, thank you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- She really did beat you in that one, didn't she, Brain?- Absolutely.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Do you want to beat me today, Rosie? - I do indeed, Brain.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Rosie, you added 15 seconds in that Zone, and your joy is infectious.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18This means in total, Adrenaline have 15 seconds in their Brain Bank!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Jolly good. That's a really good start, Rosie.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- If you'd like to rejoin your fellow members...- Yay!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28..we'll find out which our next Zone is going to be
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and who is going to take it on.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Brain, the Zone, please.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Orientation it is.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42So, Jessica, who's going to be best at Orientation?
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Yeah, I think
0:08:43 > 0:08:46because I've lived in so many different places growing up,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'm very quick to orientate myself to new surroundings,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51so, yes, I'll give this one a go.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53So, Jessica, come and join me.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54APPLAUSE
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Hello, Jessica. So, you've lived in lots of different places, have you?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- I have, yes, quite a few places. - Where have you been?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I've lived in London, Sheffield, Barnsley, Huddersfield...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Mostly around Yorkshire.- Yeah.- Yeah. You're a Yorkshire gal.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- I am, yes, through and through. - I'm a Yorkshire boy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13THEY LAUGH
0:09:13 > 0:09:17When it comes to orientation, apart from moving around Yorkshire,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- what else makes you think you might be good in this zone?- Erm...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm very good at putting myself in situations
0:09:23 > 0:09:25and being able to visualise.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Shall we see if that confidence is justified?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30LAUGHTER
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Brain, please reveal the first game that Jessica will be playing.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Hello, Captain Jessica.- Hello!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Can I come to your nurses' ball?- No.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41LAUGHTER
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Here's the first game.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Match the viewpoint on the left to the numbered position on the right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52To give you some practice, have a trial run.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Right, OK, so the blue rectangle is on my right,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02which means it would be 3.
0:10:02 > 0:10:043, you say. Are you correct?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07You are indeed. Well done.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Ready to play for real?- I am, yes. - Off we go.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11The game, please.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Captain Jessica, you have a maximum of 45 seconds
0:10:14 > 0:10:17to answer three questions, but remember,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I can only accept your first answer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Your game starts now.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Right, OK, so, it's directly in front of me
0:10:26 > 0:10:28and the yellow is to the right, so it's 7.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Number 7, you're saying. Are you correct?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- You are indeed. Yes. Next one, please.- Right, OK.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36So, the triangle is to my...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- ..left, and the box is to my right. - 25 seconds.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Erm...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- 2?- 2, you think?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Yes, you're right. Well done.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Not much time left for the third one.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- OK, and 3.- 3.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, that was pretty quick.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- No.- No, it was number 1. - Wrong, yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Never mind. It was two out of three. - Two out of three ain't bad.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07So, that's not bad. That's six seconds into your Brain Bank there.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- OK.- OK, ready for the next one? - Yeah.- Off we go.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Captain Jessica, can I see your hands?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- You have beautiful hands.- Thank you. - Here's your second game.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Tell me whether the hands are left or right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27To get you in the groove, have a trial run.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33OK, so that would be left, right...
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Right.- Left, right, right, you think. Is that correct?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40No, I got it wrong.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Left, right, left. So, not quite right.- Yeah.- It's all right, Jess.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- You can use your hands for this one. - Yeah, I needed to do a bit of that.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I always imagine lots of people at home are all doing this as well.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57So, feel free to use your hands as much as you like in this game.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- You ready to play? - Right, yes, I am.- Off we go.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03You have a maximum of 45 seconds to answer three questions.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Your game starts now.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10OK. So, right, right...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Right.- Right, right, right, you're saying.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18No, left, right, right. Next one.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21SHE GIGGLES
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Left...
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Left...
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Right.- Left, left, right. Is that correct?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Left, left, left.- Oh.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31One to go. 20 seconds left.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Right, right, right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Right, right, right. Is that correct? Yes, it is.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49That was right, right, right, that one.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50THEY LAUGH
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- The captain didn't too badly there.- No, she did good.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- She did really well. - So, well done, Jessica.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Let's find out what Brain thinks of your performance.- OK.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Captain Jessica, it's Brainerella here. Please, can I go to the ball?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Go on, then.- Ah, thank you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Jessica, you boosted your chances of winning today's final
0:13:08 > 0:13:11by adding nine seconds in that Zone.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16This means in total, Adrenaline have 24 seconds in their Brain Bank!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Well, well done, Jessica. Well done.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Nice to meet you, and if you could rejoin your team. Right.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Let's find out which Zone is next and who is going to take it on.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Brain, Zone, please.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35So, Jessica, who do you think, out of Brian or Heather,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38will be best in the Observation Zone?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- I think we'll pick Heather for Observation.- OK.- You agree, Heather?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Erm...yeah?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45LAUGHTER
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, come and join me in the Observation Zone.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48APPLAUSE
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Hi.- Hello, Heather. You're a very busy person, aren't you?- Oh, yes.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58You're studying nursing, you've got two young children.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Two children, yes. - And you play a lot of netball.- Yes.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- How do you manage to find time for all of that?- I'm very organised.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I have about three diaries, a calendar,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09and I write it all on my phone.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10THEY LAUGH
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well, all the very best,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- and you think you'll be pretty good on the Observation Zone?- Erm...
0:14:16 > 0:14:17- we'll see.- Right.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19We'll see, because, don't forget,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22there's another 18 precious seconds on offer in this Zone.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24That's three seconds for every correct answer.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27So, Brain, please reveal the first game that Heather
0:14:27 > 0:14:29is going to be playing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Hello, Heather.- Hello, Brain.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I hear you're a HUGE Spice Girls fan.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35SHE GIGGLES
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Yes.- I'm Brainy Spice. John is obviously Hot Spice.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Who are you?
0:14:41 > 0:14:47- Sporty Spice.- Whoa! Here's your first game, Sporty Heather.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Yeah.- What's the difference in value between the two totals?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55You can warm up with a trial run.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- 80p.- 80p you reckon is the difference, are you correct?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08And you are indeed.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- It can be quite a puzzling question, this, I think.- Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It just depends how carefully you look at your small change.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Do you always check your small change?- Well, yeah,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18being a student... Hard times.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Yeah, you need to do that, don't you?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24So let's just see how observant you are. Off we go with the game.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28You have 45 seconds to answer three questions correctly
0:15:28 > 0:15:30but I will only accept your first answer.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Your game starts now.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- What's the difference in the amount? - One pence.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42One pence, you think,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44you're correct, well done. Onto the next one.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- 30 seconds left.- Ten pence. - Ten pence, you think.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53No, £1.80 that time.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54So here comes the final one.
0:15:57 > 0:15:5820 seconds left.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- £1.- £1, you think.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07£1.98.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- I think you need to check that change more carefully.- I know.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12But it is a really tough round, that one,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- especially when it's against the clock.- Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17You have to think quickly and there's an awful lot of coins to look at.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yeah, they were all muddled up as well.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- I think you didn't do too badly on that one.- Thank you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- So let's have the second game, please.- Yup.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Here's your second game, Heather.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Tell me the order in which the balloons pop. Have a trial run.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Red, yellow, white. - Red, yellow, white you're saying.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's see if you're correct.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47You are indeed. Well done. No problems with the test one, anyway.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50How are you going to do for real? Let's find out.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Please remember I can only accept your first answer.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Your game starts now.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Red, blue, yellow. - Red, blue, yellow - is that right?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- It is indeed.- Yes.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Good stuff. - So the second one, please.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- Blue, yellow, white. - Blue, yellow, white.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yes, well done. Here comes the third one.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Red...white, blue, yellow.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Red, white, blue, yellow.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33No, the wrong way round.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So, Brain, I think you flummoxed her a little bit there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Yes, but she was a really good sport. - She was.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Heather, you got nine seconds in that Zone.- Thank you.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47This means in total, Adrenaline have 33 seconds in their Brain Bank.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49APPLAUSE
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Well done.- Thank you.- Lovely to meet you, Heather.- And you.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Please rejoin the team.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- So, Brian.- Yes. - You're the only one left.- I know.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Why don't you come and join me and find out which of the three
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- remaining Zones you'll be facing? - APPLAUSE
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- How are you feeling, Brian? - Oh, good.- OK.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- The girls did very well, didn't they? So far.- Yeah.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Putting a bit of pressure on me here, so they are.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Well, let's see which of the three remaining Zones
0:18:15 > 0:18:17you'll be facing, Brian.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Brain, can we have the Zone, please?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Are you any good multi-tasking, doing several things at once?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Erm, my wife might disagree, but yeah, I think
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- I'm quite good at it, yeah. - Shall we play?- Yes, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Brain, please reveal the game that Brian will be taking on first.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- Hello, Brian.- Hello, Brain.- We almost share the same name.- I know.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46If a hippopotamus got a university place, where would he live?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49In a hippopotamus house?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51No, on a hippocampus.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53THEY LAUGH
0:18:53 > 0:18:56It's a brain joke. Here's your first game.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Count the number of times each arrow passes its needle.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Have a trial run, Brian.- OK.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16How many times on the left and right?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Two on the left, four on the right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Let's see if you're correct.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Yes, you are. Well done. Good, good.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- And I noticed you used your fingers on that one. It's a good one.- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29As long as it doesn't go into double numbers.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Well, you can just go round again.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- OK.- Yes.- Ready to play for real? - Yup.- Can we have the game, please?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Please remember I'll only accept your first answer.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Your game starts now.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- One on the left, three on the right. - One and three you're saying.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yes, well done. Jolly good, next one, please.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Three on the left and three on the right.- Three and three.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Yes, well done. Those fingers are working well for you.- Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Last one, please.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- That went a bit faster. - Yeah, it did, yeah.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Three on the left and five on the right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Three and five, you're saying.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37Yes. Well done. Maximum amount of seconds in that game.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40See if you can do the same kind of performance on the second game.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Fingers crossed.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The maximum number of seconds altogether would be really useful.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- OK?- Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- So, off we go with the second game. - Here's your second game.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54When the number of sheep matches the number I say,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56add that number to the total.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Here's a trial run to help you get a feel for the game.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Three, two, one,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09four, three, four,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13two, three, one, one.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Nine?- Nine, you're saying - is that right?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Yes, it is. And that really is multi-tasking.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Yeah, it is, that's quite tough that there, yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27But you seem to be doing very well.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah, I don't really want to give too much away
0:21:29 > 0:21:33on multi-tasking, I might have to do more housework or something.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Yes, she'll be watching carefully. But it's in your team's interest...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Yeah, it is.- ..to get the maximum number of seconds.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Say later you were just pretending.- Yeah, yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Right, ready to play?- Yes, please. - Can we have the game, please?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Please remember I can only accept your first answer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Your game starts now.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Two, four, two,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01one, four, two,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04one, three, three, one.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- What was the total?- Erm, 11. - 11, you think, Brian.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Are you correct?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yes, you are. Well done. Next one, please.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Four, two, one,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23three, two, three,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25one, two, three, two.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Faster that time.- Yeah, a wee bit faster. I think I got ten.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Ten you're saying. Is he right?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34No, it's 12. You missed two out.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35OK, next one, please.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Two, three, four,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44one, three, two,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46four, two, four, two.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Ugh.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Erm, I'll go... I think I lost myself towards the end but 14.
0:22:52 > 0:22:5414, you're saying.
0:22:54 > 0:22:5613 - just one out.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- She can be devilish, that one, can't she?- Yeah, yeah.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- But you did very well.- Thank you. - You did very well indeed.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- Brain, what do you think? - You did very well there, Brian.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Thank you.- I'm worried that my jackpot's in jeopardy,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12because you've added 12 seconds in that Zone.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Which means, Adrenaline, you've finished with
0:23:14 > 0:23:18a grand total today of 45 seconds in your Brain Bank.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Good score.- Good stuff.- Well done, Brian.- Cheers, thank you.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Nice to meet you, if you rejoin the team...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Well, we've finished the individuals' Zones now
0:23:26 > 0:23:30and it's time for our team to try to beat The Brain one last time
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and take home some really serious cash in today's Final.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Adrenaline, you've put 45 seconds into your Brain Bank
0:23:39 > 0:23:42in the four opening Zones - the challenge now is to
0:23:42 > 0:23:46answer eight questions correctly, that's two each, within that time.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Do that and you win our top prize of...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51If you can't manage that,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53you can still win a pretty decent amount of cash.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The Brain has generously given you a further two minutes
0:23:56 > 0:23:59in which to answer but, as the clock counts down,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03so does the cash, at the rate of £25 a second.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06The longer you take, the less you win
0:24:06 > 0:24:10and if the clock ticks down to zero, you walk away with nothing.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Now, Jessica, as the team captain,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15you've chosen which order your players are going to face The Brain.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16What's your logic in that?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Well, we just decided to go from oldest to youngest,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21there's no real logic behind it.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- So you're the youngest?- Yes. - THEY LAUGH
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Right, are we ready?- Yes. - Because it's time to get serious.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Let's start today's Final.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Brain, over to you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38You will only face questions from the games you've already seen today
0:24:38 > 0:24:42but, for every game in the final, I will only accept your first answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Adrenaline, beat me if you can.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- That's the challenge she's throwing down. Can you do it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Well, we'll see.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55As usual, Jessica, we'll start off with you, the player on the left,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I need two correct answers from you before we can pass on down the line.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- OK?- Mm-hmm.- The best of luck, let's start the Final.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Remember where the objects are.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14- Where are the cows? - 4, 8, 2, 3.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15No.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Blue, yellow, red.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Three, three, two,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26four, two.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Eight.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29No.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Left or right hands?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Left, right, right.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Yes. Brian.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Remember the image and name.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Voldemort.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Yes. What's the difference?
0:25:55 > 0:25:5690p.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58No.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Which viewpoint?
0:26:02 > 0:26:046.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05No.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07How many times past the needle?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Five left, four right.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Yes. Heather, remember where the objects are.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Where are the balloons?
0:26:21 > 0:26:232, 5, 4.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24No.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Two, four, one,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29four, two.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Ten.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Left or right hands?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Right, left, right.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yes, Rosie.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Hitchcock.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Nope.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yellow, white, blue.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Yes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03OK, erm...4.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Stop the clock.- Yes!
0:27:06 > 0:27:07APPLAUSE
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Adrenaline, you have won £1,125.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15So how about that, Brain?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I think you're the one who'll need some tender loving care now.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Yes, well, I've got four wonderful people that would really
0:27:21 > 0:27:24help me out there, wouldn't they? Can I still come to the ball?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29- Yes, of course you can, Brain. - You can be my plus one.- Oh, Brian.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, there we are.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Thank you all at home for watching today, I hope you've enjoyed
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- playing along but, for now, it's goodbye from Adrenaline...- Goodbye.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Bye!- ..from The Brain... - Goodbye.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41..and from me.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43See you next time we play Beat The Brain.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48You saw how the team did, but what about you?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Did you get those posers I set at the start of the show?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Here's a reminder.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Are they left or right hands?
0:27:58 > 0:28:01The answer is right, left, left.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04And the second one?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11The answer is five and three.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Don't forget, practice makes perfect,
0:28:13 > 0:28:18so remember to sharpen your wits by watching next time on Beat The Brain.
