0:00:01 > 0:00:07'We scoured the land for ordinary people with extraordinary powers.'
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I have the same IQ as Einstein which is 153.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12'It was an unusual talent search...'
0:00:12 > 0:00:16I didn't go to university but I'm not dumb.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19'..as we looked for Britain's brightest.'
0:00:19 > 0:00:22My fastest time for solving a Rubik's cube is 7.91 seconds.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25'They had to pass brain-busting tests.'
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Ooh, you are horrible.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29'Finally, 24 made it through.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'Tonight, it's the play-off.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I think I may have gone horribly wrong here.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41'And four runners up from the heats...'
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Bernie has been pipped at the post.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- It is a place in the play-off, well done.- Thank you.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55'..earn themselves a shot at £50,000
0:00:55 > 0:00:58'and the title, Britain's Brightest.'
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host, Clare Balding.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Hello and welcome to Britain's Brightest, the play-off.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Over the past four weeks, project leader Alan Gibbs,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40school teacher Claire Collins,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Cambridge graduate Sam Hyatt-Twynam
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and business executive Zoe Cunningham
0:01:44 > 0:01:46have all booked their places in the final
0:01:46 > 0:01:50with a shot at the title and the prize of £50,000.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56But that final has one place left to fill and tonight the four
0:01:56 > 0:01:59contestants who qualified for this play-off are about to fight for it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02They've proved that they have the mental toughness to get
0:02:02 > 0:02:05this far, but now there are no more second chances,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08as the only thing that matters is first place.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, let's remind ourselves of the first two hopefuls.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I'm Andy.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I'm from Southsea in Hampshire
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and I'm a training facilitator.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I am incredibly competitive with a steely edge,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25but in my heats I felt a bit shell-shocked.
0:02:25 > 0:02:2733.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Sorry.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Oh, Andy.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I didn't feel I started particularly well.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Andy's still struggling.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Did you enter something or not? - No, just my own private hell.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I think I was slightly distracted or overwhelmed by the scale
0:02:42 > 0:02:45of some of the tasks I was being asked for.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48But I do feel I regained my focus as we went through.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Correct. Hey!
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Andy, you were second, you get seven points.- What?!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think getting into the play-off was my lifeline.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Many congratulations, you are through. Well done, Andy.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And I intend to make the best possible use of it this time round.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08My name's Bernie.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I live in Dorset, I have a wife called Ren.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16And I'm a professional crossword compiler.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22ASSESSMENT is correct, four out of four, Bernie, that is sensational,
0:03:22 > 0:03:23well done.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25My heat started off really well.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Bernie's there.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Bernie's first again.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32That was sensational, well done to Bernie.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Went into an early lead.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Bernie is out in front with 18 points.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43I think I did the last game OK, but I got the timing a little bit wrong.
0:03:44 > 0:03:4829 seconds, so seven over.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51They gradually came back to me and I got pipped at the post.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55In first place with 28 points, it is Sam.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Very disappointing.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59We will see you back for the play-offs, very well done.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's great to be in the play-offs getting a second chance.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03I'm going to really go for it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Please welcome back, Bernie and Andy.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- It is great to see you both again. - Hello, Clare.- Hello.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Bernie, anything you learnt, do you think, from your experience in your heat?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Yes, I did struggle on the observation round,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- so I've done some practising on that and hopefully I've...- How?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I've been looking at still pictures and watching bits of video
0:04:38 > 0:04:41and trying to remember as much as possible about them.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46We saw in the film your wife, Ren, is a fantastic supporter of yours.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- She is.- Is she here again tonight?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49- She is.- She is. Hello, Ren.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Hello.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53How did you feel about him getting through to the play-offs?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh, wonderful, I don't have many nails left,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59but it was a wonderful surprise. Well, he's clever.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01He IS clever, how do you think he'll do tonight?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06If the nerves stay down, I think he could do very well
0:05:06 > 0:05:08but these are very clever people.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10We have very high quality contestants.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12You don't strike me as a nervous man.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I'm not normally, but having got through the last round
0:05:16 > 0:05:20by the skin of my teeth, it becomes much more important all of a sudden.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Andy, you are somebody who just doesn't seem to show
0:05:23 > 0:05:26any nerves at all. Are you super-relaxed?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I don't show a great deal of nerves, even if I am nervous
0:05:28 > 0:05:32so it doesn't mean I'm not shaking underneath.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And are you surprised to be at this stage?
0:05:34 > 0:05:40Yes, I had a bit of a shaky start in my heat, but I think
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I got it together quickly enough to get through so I'm here to win now.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47What have you done since the heat to prepare for this?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I've learnt another song on the ukulele.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Fantastic, I'm sure that will come in extremely useful.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Musical intelligence is one of the areas that we might be tested on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59You might be. And, Andy, you know that you can't afford a slow start tonight
0:05:59 > 0:06:02because just one of our contestants can win a place in next week's final.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06We'll have two head-to-head challenges and then a group game.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09After that, whoever's at the bottom of the leaderboard will be leaving.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12So winning your head-to-head is vital.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So let's see your first challenge.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Please welcome, all the way from Germany,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20the only bottle band in the whole of Europe, GlasBlasSing Quintett!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28MUSIC: Ronda Alla Turca
0:06:52 > 0:06:54They are just fantastic.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57But of course you're wondering
0:06:57 > 0:07:00"How on earth could we make a game out of that?" Well, as you can see,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02we have a grid of numbers.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06The numbers reveal musical phrases which our band will play.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Each musical phrase is part of a pair.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11So if the band play:
0:07:11 > 0:07:13MUSIC: Don't Worry, Be Happy
0:07:15 > 0:07:18..then you'd have to find where else...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21MUSIC: Don't Worry, Be Happy
0:07:22 > 0:07:23..appears.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26The first to find four matching tunes is the winner
0:07:26 > 0:07:29and will receive three points, but the loser I'm afraid gets nothing.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So, Andy, you said that in preparation for this
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- you've learned a new tune on the ukulele.- Yes.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Your musical ear is good.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's the second tune I know.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Right. - LAUGHTER
0:07:41 > 0:07:44So are you concerned or are you looking forward to this?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I could do all right here. I play a lot of pairs with Charlie, my three-year-old,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49so I think that'll stand me in good stead.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Bernie, you're very good with words, you're a crossword compiler,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- but how good is your aural memory? - I think it's pretty good.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I played the drums when I was younger
0:07:57 > 0:08:00so I'm hoping this is going to stick.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Well, Bernie, you are going to start,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05so you may choose your first number, please.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'll start with number 1.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Number 1.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10MUSIC: Mission: Impossible Theme
0:08:17 > 0:08:18And your second number?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Number 16.- Number 16, please.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26MUSIC: Tequila
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, not a pair. Andy, your turn.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Number 9, please.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37MUSIC: Can't Get You Out Of My Head
0:08:43 > 0:08:45And your second number?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Number 6, please.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51MUSIC: Hallelujah
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Not a pair, Andy. Bernie.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07MUSIC: Popcorn
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- And your second number, Bernie? - And number 3, please.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19MUSIC: Tequila
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Andy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2416, please.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29MUSIC: Tequila
0:09:31 > 0:09:32And number?
0:09:32 > 0:09:333, I hope.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36MUSIC: Tequila
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Yeah!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39APPLAUSE
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well done, Andy. You have the first pair on the board.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And it was the most beautiful rendition of Tequila.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Love it.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51So, Andy, three more pairs and you will win this game.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53But, Bernie, it's your turn now.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Number 5, please.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59MUSIC: New York, New York
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Number 8, please.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10MUSIC: Can't Get You Out Of My Head
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Not a pair, but, Andy, your turn.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'll take number 9, please.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27MUSIC: Can't Get You Out Of My Head
0:10:33 > 0:10:34And number...?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Number 8, please.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39MUSIC: Can't Get You Out Of My Head
0:10:39 > 0:10:41APPLAUSE
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- And you know what it was? - That song has never sounded so good to me.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51It hasn't, has it? Kylie I think would be really proud of that.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Can't Get You Out Of My Head. So, two pairs for Andy.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Bernie, you really need one now.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Number 10, please.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02MUSIC: Beverly Hills Cop Theme
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Number 1, please.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14MUSIC: Mission: Impossible Theme
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Unfortunately not a match.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Andy.- Number 15, please.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31MUSIC: Beverly Hills Cop Theme
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I think I have to go for number 10.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42MUSIC: Beverly Hills Cop Theme
0:11:42 > 0:11:44APPLAUSE
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Axel F with the theme tune to Beverly Hills Cop. Well done.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Three pairs for Andy, he just needs one more to win the game.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Now, Bernie, you did say you'd been practising with your memory.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Mm-hm.- Do you think it's just bad luck so far?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Partly, yeah.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06OK, let's hope you get lucky this time. Pick a number.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Well, for good luck, I'll have 13, please.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14MUSIC: Hallelujah
0:12:20 > 0:12:21And?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Number...
0:12:26 > 0:12:276, please.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31MUSIC: Hallelujah
0:12:31 > 0:12:33APPLAUSE
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Hallelujah, Bernie. It's right, well done.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Fantastic.- It's me.- That is you!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46LAUGHTER
0:12:46 > 0:12:50So, 3-1 Andy leads, one more, though, and you will win this game.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40And number 7, please.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56It is the music for Mission: Impossible
0:13:56 > 0:13:59which no longer looks like a mission impossible, actually.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00- No.- 3-2.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Andy still leading, though. What's your next selection?

0:14:39 > 0:14:43Fabulous. Fabulous work and that means that Andy DOES win the game.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Great memory, great musical recognition as well.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Well done, Andy, that really was superb.- Thank you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50APPLAUSE
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Well, what a great start to the play-off and a big danke schoen to David, Fritze, Peter, Frank
0:14:57 > 0:15:01and Andreas who together make up GlasBlasSing Quintett.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05MUSIC: Don't Worry, Be Happy
0:15:10 > 0:15:12So after that game, Andy, you scored three points.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Bernie, I'm afraid no points for you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17We'll see you both shortly, but for now, ladies and gentlemen,
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Andy and Bernie.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25OK, let's say hello again to Lynn and Nayomie
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and remind ourselves how they got here.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33My name is Nayomie and I live in Thames Ditton.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I'm a tennis coach and an actress.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I think in the heats I did manage to stay quite calm.
0:15:38 > 0:15:4114 stone, 4lbs. Well done, Nayomie,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42you've done enough to win the first round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I felt quite relieved, actually.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Nayomie.- Jilly Cooper.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It is Jilly Cooper, well done, Nayomie. Fantastic.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think I managed to stay pretty calm throughout.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I think I did quite well.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00In second place, we see Nayomie on 27.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I was disappointed not to go straight through to the final.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06And Andrew you are out of time.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Nayomie, for you it is a place in the play-off, well done.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Thank you.- Really good.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I know I come across as quite cool and calm and collected,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19but underneath I'm just ridiculously excited that I might get there
0:16:19 > 0:16:20and potentially might win.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24My name's Lynn, I come from Old Dilton,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27which is a tiny hamlet in Wiltshire and I am a child minder.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Your daughter Erin says that you are cool under pressure.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I don't feel any kind of nerves.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- 31 seconds.- Oh, no.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I was kicking myself
0:16:36 > 0:16:39because I should have come through on that first go.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43In second place, Lynn with 23 points, but it's not all over.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I stole the play-off from Clare.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49She went to pieces a little bit.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50D
0:16:51 > 0:16:53C
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I didn't, I was calm and cool like I usually am.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Time.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00E, O
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Stop the clock.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Clare, you're out time, I'm so sorry.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Well done to Lynn. You've secured a place in our play-off.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I really want to get to the final.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It would be my chance to prove that I am a really clever person.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back Lynn and Nayomie.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Hello, both of you, welcome back. - Hello, Clare.- Hello, Lynn.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43What was Erin, you daughter's reaction when she found out you'd got through to the play-off?
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Well honestly it's a good job I stay calm because Erin is hysterical
0:17:48 > 0:17:50that I'm this far, so she is absolutely thrilled.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54And is there anything you learnt, do you think, from your first experience?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Um, my strategy has always just been to think of what's happening now
0:17:58 > 0:18:00and to stay calm, so nothing different
0:18:00 > 0:18:02but I hope I have a bit more experience.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Now, Nayomie, you're very sporty, you're an actress as well.- Yep.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Who was the first person you told when you knew you'd made the play-off?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10That would be Rob, my other half.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11And what advice did he give you?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Well, I've got a bit of a tendency to get ahead of myself
0:18:13 > 0:18:17so looking to the finals next week and thinking, "You know I'm there," whereas actually
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I've obviously got to get through the play-offs tonight first.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23So just re-focus, take a deep breath and take each game at a time,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26not try and pre-empt myself for what's going to happen.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Best of luck to both of you and you are now, Lynn and Nayomie,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31going head-to-head, so come with me.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38So it's an old favourite but with a twist because you're about to
0:18:38 > 0:18:41be surrounded by floating sums and your job is to knock out
0:18:41 > 0:18:44the incorrect answers leaving the one remaining correct answer.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'm not great with numbers so they've given me something simple,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50but here's a good example, because I know that's wrong, I know that's wrong,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53so that must be right, I haven't even got time to work it out.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The good news for you two is you ARE both good with numbers.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I mean, Lynn, you'll love this, won't you?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I love numbers and I'm really quite good at adding up quickly,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- small sums. - Well, fantastic, but I'm wondering
0:19:03 > 0:19:06if, Nayomie, your tennis skills might come to the fore here?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Fingers crossed, yes, I think it's a case of forehand
0:19:08 > 0:19:10and possibly backhand so...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12We shall see how you get on because, Lynn, you are up first.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Nayomie, if you could disappear backstage
0:19:14 > 0:19:16because we don't want you to receive an advantage.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18She will hear and see nothing.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Lynn, let's put you on the spot.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Your time starts now.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Correct.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Well done.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53APPLAUSE
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Oh...
0:20:09 > 0:20:10SHE SIGHS
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Oh...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, Lynn, it's difficult, isn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I made silly mistakes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I was finding the right one and going, "That's the right one".
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It is about to get harder.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26You're going to be surrounded by four floating sums,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28three of them are going to be incorrect.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Good luck. Let's go.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Oh, timed out, I'm afraid.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Timed out again.- Oh, no.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55SHE SIGHS
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Oh, dear.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Oh, this is terrible.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23You're out of time again.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Lynn, that was seriously difficult, wasn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39That was absolutely terrible. It wasn't so difficult, it was me, I was terrible.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41You got three out of 12 there.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Oh!- So, Lynn, I know you're disappointed,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47but, for now, thank you so much. Ladies and gentlemen, Lynn.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51And let's bring out Nayomie to face the maths challenge.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53APPLAUSE
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- So, Nayomie, are you ready?- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Let's start this challenge now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Well done.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Excellent.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Very good.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Good start, Nayomie.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50It's now going to get harder.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52You'll be surrounded by four floating sums,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54you knock out three of them. Here we go.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Timed out.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Again out of time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Oh, just out.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Well done.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37APPLAUSE
0:23:52 > 0:23:54And that is the end of the round.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Have you ever had to think so fast under pressure?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02No, and it was a lot harder with the more difficult sums as well,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I think, and that split-second too long and it was gone, yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Well, Nayomie you scored five out of 12 there. We'll get Lynn back out
0:24:10 > 0:24:13and I'll tell you whether that's enough to have won the round. Well done for now, Nayomie.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15APPLAUSE
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Only one of you was able to get a correct answer
0:24:21 > 0:24:24when it got more difficult, when there were four sums
0:24:24 > 0:24:26and, Nayomie, that was you.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29But Lynn only scored three out of 12, which means that
0:24:29 > 0:24:31with five out of 12, you have won the challenge,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- you take all three points. - Well done, deservedly.- Thank you. - And impressive getting one right
0:24:35 > 0:24:38in the tougher round when were four sums. Fantastic, well done.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40So, Lynn, no points for you
0:24:40 > 0:24:43but there is a group game to come so let's go and join Andy
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and Bernie and have our first look at the leaderboard.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47APPLAUSE
0:24:52 > 0:24:54You've been involved in head-to-head competitions.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57So far, this how the scores look.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Andy and Nayomie both have three points
0:24:59 > 0:25:02because they won their head-to-head challenges.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Bernie and Lynn, cruel as it may seem,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08they didn't lose by much, but they have no points on the board at all.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12As you are all too aware, after our next group challenge the player
0:25:12 > 0:25:15at the bottom of the leaderboard will be leaving the competition.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19But with six points for the winner, everything could change.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Bernie, Lynn, you are both on zero points, this gets serious.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You've got to score a point, otherwise you will be going home.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28But now it's time for your first group game
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and since this is the play-off, we've got a brand new challenge
0:25:31 > 0:25:34that's going to test your emotional intelligence.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38So, Lynn, how good are you at reading the emotions of other people?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Well, having been in sales most of my life,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I think I'll be pretty good at it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Andy, what about you?
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Well, I spend most of my working days in front of audiences of people,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51so I would hope that I've picked something up from looking at
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- lots of faces all day. - Well, we're going to find out
0:25:54 > 0:25:56because you're about to see a number of people smiling
0:25:56 > 0:26:00and the question is, are they real smiles or are they fake?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Let's be honest, we've all pretended we've enjoyed something
0:26:03 > 0:26:05when in reality we didn't.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09We invited comedian Milton Jones to make a group of people smile.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Those will be the real smiles.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15But sometimes we showed them a sign telling them to smile
0:26:15 > 0:26:19and those, of course, are the fake ones, but which is which?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20You have to decide.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24So let's start the challenge and this is Danielle,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27but is that a real smile or is that fake?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Let's see what you thought.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Now, three of you think that's a real smile,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40just Bernie thinks that might be fake, so let's find out.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48My Auntie Marge has been ill for so long we've changed her name to
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I Can't Believe She's Not Better.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It was a real smile.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58So, Bernie, I'm afraid you're the only one who got that wrong.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Let's move on and have a look at Alan.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Now, is that a real smile, or is that fake?
0:27:09 > 0:27:15You've all answered and all four of you think that that is a fake smile.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Let's find out.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24And all four of you are absolutely correct, well done.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27So, next challenge.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28This is Mary.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Now, is Mary smiling for real or has she been told to smile?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You've made your decisions.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Two of you think that's real, two of you think it's fake.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Let's find out.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50And the two of you who thought that was a fake smile,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Andy and Lynn, are absolutely correct, well done.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55APPLAUSE
0:27:55 > 0:27:57So here's another one. This is James.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Now, is James smiling for real, or is that fake?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10You've all answered. Lynn's turning round smiling at me
0:28:10 > 0:28:13and I think that's a real smile, Lynn. Let's see what you think.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15LAUGHTER
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Lynn, Andy and Nayomie, you all thought that was real,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Bernie you thought that was fake.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Let's see.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27My grandfather said that in the old days
0:28:27 > 0:28:30people used to leave their back doors open,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32which is probably why his submarine sank.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36That was a real smile.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Bernie, he didn't, you know, roll about laughing
0:28:39 > 0:28:40but it was a genuine smile.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44This is Charlie.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Is that real or fake?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52This is what you think.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Ooh, we've got a split, 50-50.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58The two women think it's fake, the two men think it's real.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Here we go.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08And those who thought it was fake, Lynn and Nayomie,
0:29:08 > 0:29:11you are spot on, well done, good reading.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Andy, that's the first one you've got wrong.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14I wavered on that.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18I think my first instinct was fake and I overrode it
0:29:18 > 0:29:20and I should have trusted my gut, I think.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21This is Joseph.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Now, is that real or fake?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31This is what you made of Joseph's smile.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Three of you think it's real, Lynn, Andy and Nayomie,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Bernie you're the one who thinks it's fake.- I've got to get one.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You have got to get one against the tide, as it were.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44This could be the one, let's find out.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Well done, Bernie.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51APPLAUSE
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Fantastic work.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Was that just luck?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57No, the mouth is too wide.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's too high at the edges.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Very good work. Well done, Bernie.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Let's move on then, this is Sarah.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Same question - is this smile real or is it fake?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Right, all your answers are in.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Lynn says fake, everybody else says real.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20What made you think that was fake?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I didn't think the smile reached the eyes.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Let's see, Lynn, if you're right, or whether, uncharacteristically,
0:30:28 > 0:30:30you're wrong and everyone else is right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34And uncharacteristically,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36you were wrong.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38This is the very last one.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40This is Angelina.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Is that real or is that fake from Angelina?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46LYNN SIGHS
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Big sigh from Lynn as she put her answer in there.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51But let's have a look and see what you said.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Again, a split.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Bernie and Lynn think that's fake,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Andy and Nayomie think that is a real smile.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Let's find out.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Oh, I can't bear to look.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07About a month before he died, my grandmother
0:31:07 > 0:31:11covered my grandfather's back with lard
0:31:11 > 0:31:13and after that he went downhill very quickly.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17It wasn't just a smile, it really was a laugh.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20So, Andy and Nayomie, you were spot on there.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Very, very good work on Angelina. That completes the round.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25APPLAUSE
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Andy, you said beforehand, your job prepares you for this
0:31:31 > 0:31:33and clearly it does.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Yeah, well, as I say, I deliver training to, sometimes
0:31:36 > 0:31:38a dozen people, sometimes 200, 300 people,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41so you're constantly reading people to get a sense of
0:31:41 > 0:31:44where they are as the session goes along.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46And funnily enough, Bernie,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49maybe working at home on your own is a real disadvantage for
0:31:49 > 0:31:52something like this where you need to be able to see a lot of people.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I think so, yeah. I'm glad I'm not in sales.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56LAUGHTER
0:31:58 > 0:32:02In that game, Andy and Nayomie, you were sensational
0:32:02 > 0:32:05and you have got exactly the same number of correct answers.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Lynn, you started so well and then for some reason you fell away
0:32:09 > 0:32:12and I'm afraid, Bernie, that really didn't suit you.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15So, what that means for your scores is, Andy and Nayomie, you can
0:32:15 > 0:32:20afford a real smile because you will both get five points.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Lynn comes in with a crucial one point
0:32:23 > 0:32:26and, Bernie, I'm afraid you get zero.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29The leaderboard now looks like this.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34In the lead jointly, Andy and Nayomie with eight.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Lynn with one point survives.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Bernie, I'm afraid, no points,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40you're leaving Britain's Brightest.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I'm very sorry.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45I am as well. I just had a bad start, really, this evening.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I haven't had a chance to get going.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49It's a great shame, you're a wonderful contestant.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51You have a brilliant brain and thank you so much
0:32:51 > 0:32:54for playing Britain's Brightest. Ladies and gentlemen, Bernie.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55APPLAUSE
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Oh, that's bad luck for Bernie but, Lynn,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11you are clinging on, you're clinging on.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12What are you going to do now
0:33:12 > 0:33:15to switch your brain into a really positive, competitive mode?
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Well, my way is just to empty my brain of everything that's
0:33:19 > 0:33:22gone before and look at what's happening next.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Otherwise you get too confused and upset.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27That is very wise advice, Lynn. I'm going to adopt that approach.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28- It's not easy. - No, it's not easy.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32For Andy and for Nayomie, you're in very strong positions.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Andy, how are you feeling about the next challenge?
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I'm positive, you know, I think I've acquitted myself quite well
0:33:39 > 0:33:41so far, so, yeah, onwards and upwards.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44And what about you, Nayomie, is your brain firing?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47It is, yes, again trying to do similar to Lynn actually,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49just take a deep breath, don't get ahead of myself
0:33:49 > 0:33:53and just focus on whatever comes next, however it might take form.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Well, let's move on to the next game because this challenge is
0:33:56 > 0:33:59testing your powers of observation and memory.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I'm going to show you a video of a surprise musical
0:34:02 > 0:34:04performance in Trafalgar Square.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07The public were shocked to see one of Britain's biggest
0:34:07 > 0:34:09bands on their doorstep.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11But, unlike them, don't just watch the act,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14you're going to have to watch everything
0:34:14 > 0:34:17because there will be observational questions afterwards.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20We will start the challenge as I hand you over to the more
0:34:20 > 0:34:23than capable musical hands of Madness.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26APPLAUSE
0:34:29 > 0:34:30CHEERING
0:34:40 > 0:34:43# It was very late in the discotheque
0:34:43 > 0:34:48# I was feeling blue Like I sometimes do
0:34:48 > 0:34:53# I turned around cos it's time to go
0:34:53 > 0:34:57# A face in the crowd A face I didn't know
0:34:57 > 0:35:02# We got to talking for a little while
0:35:02 > 0:35:05# You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do
0:35:06 > 0:35:10# Talking to strangers so late in the night
0:35:10 > 0:35:12# These days you never know
0:35:14 > 0:35:18# Well, I thought you were nice I even told you so
0:35:18 > 0:35:23# You smiled so shyly and said to me
0:35:23 > 0:35:26# I bet you say that to all the girls you meet
0:35:26 > 0:35:28# But it isn't so
0:35:31 > 0:35:35# The club was closing so we had to leave
0:35:35 > 0:35:39# We walked out together just a little ill at ease
0:35:39 > 0:35:43# I would have liked to have walked you home
0:35:43 > 0:35:47# But you said you'd catch the bus I ended up alone
0:35:47 > 0:35:50# I never knew your name
0:35:50 > 0:35:53# Nor your telephone number
0:35:54 > 0:35:59# Will I ever see you again?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01# I wonder
0:36:03 > 0:36:05# No, I never knew your name
0:36:07 > 0:36:11nor your telephone number
0:36:11 > 0:36:15# Will I ever see you again?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17# Girl, I wonder
0:36:20 > 0:36:24# It was very late in that discotheque
0:36:24 > 0:36:28# And I was feeling blue as I always do
0:36:29 > 0:36:34# I turned around cos it's time to go
0:36:34 > 0:36:35# Oh. #
0:36:40 > 0:36:42APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Madness, being sensational, but for our three remaining contestants
0:36:51 > 0:36:53we have quick-fire questions coming up.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56The first to buzz in gets a chance to answer, but if they get it
0:36:56 > 0:37:00wrong, you'll be locked out for the following question.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02So, here we go.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05A monument to which historical figure was behind the band?
0:37:05 > 0:37:06- BUZZER - Nayomie.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Nelson.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Nelson is correct.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11APPLAUSE
0:37:11 > 0:37:13What did the little boy in the pushchair have in his hands?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- BUZZER - Andy.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Drumsticks?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Let's have a look.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Drumsticks is correct.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21APPLAUSE
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Which one country's flag was featured?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- BUZZER - Lynn.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Canada.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Canada is correct.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- APPLAUSE - One correct answer each.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39You saw five people wearing lettered t-shirts
0:37:39 > 0:37:43but what 2013-related word can be made from their letters?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49OK, I'll tell you.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53It was snake. 2013 is the year of the snake.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55What colour was the ballerina's pashmina?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- BUZZER - Nayomie.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Blue.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Let's have a look.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Blue is correct, well done.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04APPLAUSE
0:38:04 > 0:38:10What was in the right hand of the man whose cheek Suggs squeezed?
0:38:10 > 0:38:11- BUZZER - Nayomie.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13A mobile phone.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14That is incorrect.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16The correct answer is a camera
0:38:16 > 0:38:19so you are locked out of the next question.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20You saw a juggler but how many
0:38:20 > 0:38:23different types of fruit did he juggle during the film?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- BUZZER - Lynn.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Two.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Two is correct, lemons and apples.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31He did also juggle balls.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32APPLAUSE
0:38:34 > 0:38:36What was written on the back of the sandwich board?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- BUZZER - Nayomie.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40One step beyond.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44The question was what was written on the back of the sandwich board?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46You knew too much, the answer was one step.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49So, I'm afraid, one step beyond is incorrect
0:38:49 > 0:38:52and, Nayomie, you are locked out for the next question.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56So, for Andy and Lynn, you saw a man wearing a red baseball cap
0:38:56 > 0:38:57but what colour was his jacket?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- BUZZER - Lynn.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Beige.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04You say beige, let's have a look.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I'm afraid that's wrong,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08it's blue and that means you are locked out of the next question.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Nayomie, you're back in.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14So, Nayomie and Andy, of the people in letter t-shirts,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16how many were also wearing glasses?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- BUZZER - Andy.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Two?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Two is correct, well done.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22APPLAUSE
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Lynn, you're back in play now, so, for all three of you,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27where was the toddler in the pink hat sitting?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- BUZZER - Andy.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32On her parent's shoulders.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Let's have a look.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37On her parent's shoulders. You are right, well done.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39APPLAUSE
0:39:39 > 0:39:41The flower worn by Madness's...
0:39:41 > 0:39:42BUZZER
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Oh, my word, that's early.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Nayomie, I'd hardly even started the question.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48What do you think the answer is?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Pink, white, red.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Pink, white, red, you think is the answer to the question...
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- I hope it's the answer. - ..that I didn't finish.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Here's the rest of that question.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00The flower worn by Madness's saxophonist Kix,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02changed colour throughout the film.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05What colour was it while he was also wearing the wig?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Let's have a look.- It's red.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10And it's red, and again, Nayomie, you knew too much
0:40:10 > 0:40:13and you got in there so fast and if you'd waited till the end of
0:40:13 > 0:40:18the question I'm sure you would have got it. The answer there was red.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well, it was very impressive from all three of you, but at the end
0:40:21 > 0:40:24of that round, there was a clear winner
0:40:24 > 0:40:26and that winner was Andy.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- Really?- Yes, really. It was you. You look very surprised.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32And then tied right behind you were Nayomie and Lynn
0:40:32 > 0:40:34so it was very, very close.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37So let's see what that challenge has done for your scores.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Andy, six points to you.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Nayomie and Lynn, you get two points each
0:40:42 > 0:40:46and here is what those scores have done to the leaderboard.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51It means that, Andy, you stretch into a lead, 14 points to you.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Nayomie in second with 10 and Lynn now has three.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:41:01 > 0:41:03There's still so much to discover about our minds
0:41:03 > 0:41:08and our science expert Steve Mould has been doing just that.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10'Ever played Tower Of Hanoi?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13'You have to move all the discs from one end to the other
0:41:13 > 0:41:17'but you can't put a larger disc on a smaller one.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20'Yeah, I really like doing logic puzzles
0:41:20 > 0:41:22'but is it because I'm a geek?'
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Or is it because I'm a man?
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Men often pride themselves on their logic and problem-solving prowess.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Who's more logical, women or men?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I'd say me.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33- Women.- Men.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Women are more emotional.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Yeah. I'd agree with that.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Tend to be driven more by that than thinking with their heads.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I'd definitely say men are more logical.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- In what way?- All round.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Hm, I don't know about that.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49This is often controversial but some studies claim that men
0:41:49 > 0:41:54have more of a tendency towards systemising their world,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58analysing and creating systems to work things out.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03But does that make men better at solving certain kinds of problem?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Well, here's a competition that really
0:42:05 > 0:42:07challenges our power of logic.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09It's the water jug test.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11The challenge is to fill the containers
0:42:11 > 0:42:16until you have exactly four litres in the five litre container.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Oh, and you can't use a measuring jug.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Our guinea pigs are two teams of rowers, four girls and four boys.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28They will be going head to head over four rounds.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32They've started filling up from the tap,
0:42:32 > 0:42:36but we don't know whether they have any idea what to do after that.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Thinking through it logically.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41So here's how to solve this problem.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46Fill the three litre bucket and then pour that into the five litre bucket.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51Next re-fill the three litre and top up the five litre again.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55You will now have one litre remaining in the smaller container.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00Now, empty out the five litre and pour in the remaining one litre.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Top this up with a further three litres,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05which gives you exactly four litres.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08'Back at the competition,
0:43:08 > 0:43:12'and it looks like this guy has worked out how to do it.'
0:43:12 > 0:43:16It's not quite four litres but the point is it was the right system.
0:43:16 > 0:43:191-0 to the boys and it's on to round two.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- That's two litres.- Yeah.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23And then I just need to halve it.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27I actually really like this idea.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30But displacement isn't going to do it
0:43:30 > 0:43:32and since neither contestant has a clue,
0:43:32 > 0:43:35it's a draw and on to round three.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37This time, the girls win...
0:43:37 > 0:43:40- I think I've got four in there now. - Yes!
0:43:40 > 0:43:41..making it one a piece.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Leaving it all to play for in the final round.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Yeah!
0:43:46 > 0:43:47OK.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50This is an estimate you're going for here, isn't it, Steph?
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- No.- No, OK. All right. - It's science.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Freddie, what have you got, do you think you've got four litres?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58I think we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Another point for the boys.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03So, there we have it, boys are more logical.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08Based, I admit, on a small and deeply unscientific experiment.
0:44:08 > 0:44:09APPLAUSE
0:44:15 > 0:44:17So we have three, but soon we'll be left with just two.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21Tonight, you've hit the bottles, experienced Madness and
0:44:21 > 0:44:26uncovered a bunch of fakers, but now it's time for the toughest test yet.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29You'll all remember this one and probably not fondly.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31It's time to get multi-tasking.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34Each of you will take turns in this,
0:44:34 > 0:44:37the most uncomfortable seat in Britain - The Chair.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41Your challenge is to estimate when 24 seconds has passed
0:44:41 > 0:44:43and then hit this button.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47If you press on exactly 24 seconds, you'll win 10 bonus points.
0:44:47 > 0:44:52But you won't be able to see a clock and you will busy
0:44:52 > 0:44:54because you'll also be trying to make as many four-letter words
0:44:54 > 0:44:57as you can from our grid.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Each word is worth three points,
0:44:59 > 0:45:02but go over 24 seconds and you lose points.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04You're playing in alphabetical order
0:45:04 > 0:45:06so that means, Andy, you are first.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09If you would like to take your seat, Lynn and Nayomie,
0:45:09 > 0:45:12disappear for a while, we will see you shortly.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17Andy, come and make yourself, well,
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I was going to say comfortable, but...
0:45:20 > 0:45:24Have you been practising estimating time?
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- I've got a secret weapon. - A secret weapon?
0:45:27 > 0:45:31A secret method and I'm going to try it out tonight.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33I'm intrigued, I can't wait to find out. Good luck.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34Thank you.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40We're going to put 24 seconds on the clock
0:45:40 > 0:45:42and your time starts now.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48So, the grid comes up. This is the first time Andy's seen it.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Now, last time he got very excited by the word element of the game
0:45:51 > 0:45:53and lost track of time.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55He's very quick at making words, he has three already.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01A little hesitation there.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02But ABET is allowable.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Oh, he's pressed the button. Now...
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Andy, very, very fast. Four words made.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15That'll give you 12 points.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17What did you think about the time?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21I'm a lot more confident than I was during my heat.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Well, let's see if multi-tasking
0:46:23 > 0:46:25is something that you can practise and get better at.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28Andy, your time was...
0:46:29 > 0:46:33..20 seconds. So you were 4 seconds under.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35You may have been able to make another word, but better
0:46:35 > 0:46:37to be under than over, because that means you don't lose
0:46:37 > 0:46:40any points at all and you walk away with 12, well done.
0:46:40 > 0:46:41APPLAUSE
0:46:43 > 0:46:44Ah! What a relief.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49What was your secret weapon?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52I was singing a song to myself that I know lasts
0:46:52 > 0:46:54for just over 20 seconds.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57That is genius. That is the definition of brightness
0:46:57 > 0:46:59and that is why he scored so well.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00And what was the song?
0:47:00 > 0:47:03'Her Majesty' by the Beatles.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05I sing it to Daisy to get her off to sleep.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07So, Charlie scored you points on musical pairs
0:47:07 > 0:47:10and Daisy has scored you points on this?
0:47:10 > 0:47:11Yeah.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Andy, well done and thank you for now.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14APPLAUSE
0:47:14 > 0:47:17And we will bring Lynn in as Andy disappears backstage
0:47:17 > 0:47:21so he can't hear or see anything.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26Last time you played this game you went over the allowed time by...
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Oh, about 13 or 14 seconds?
0:47:29 > 0:47:3112, I think. It was 12 seconds over.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32Have you been doing anything
0:47:32 > 0:47:35since then to get your estimation of time better?
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Well, I have been practising it,
0:47:37 > 0:47:40but on the first time I did forget to press the enter
0:47:40 > 0:47:44and that threw me out and I forgot where I was so I'm hoping
0:47:44 > 0:47:47that I'm not going to do that again so my counting will be spot on.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50- All right, Lynn, best of luck. - Thank you, Clare.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54And your time starts now.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05And again, top left corner being the preferred choice for Lynn.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Just a hesitation now as she looks for her second word.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Because she's moved direction.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19The letters have to connect diagonally,
0:48:19 > 0:48:22horizontally or vertically.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28Two words, both of them are allowable. BARE and LAME.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31- Yeah.- So, that gives you six points.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34But you were focussing on the time rather than the words?
0:48:34 > 0:48:35Yes, I was.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37And how were you estimating the time?
0:48:37 > 0:48:39I was counting with this hand,
0:48:39 > 0:48:42"One, 1,000, two, 1,000, three, 1,000."
0:48:42 > 0:48:45- While you were making...- Please, don't tell me I got it wrong.
0:48:45 > 0:48:49Let's find out together. Lynn, your time was...
0:48:50 > 0:48:5223 seconds.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55You were just one second under, well done.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56APPLAUSE
0:48:56 > 0:49:00So close to hitting 24 and getting the 10 bonus points which I'm
0:49:00 > 0:49:02sure is what you were aiming for but you walk away
0:49:02 > 0:49:05with six points having made two words and being just under the time.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07- Well done, Lynn.- Thank you.
0:49:07 > 0:49:08APPLAUSE
0:49:08 > 0:49:12And let us give a round of applause for Nayomie who comes back.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14APPLAUSE
0:49:15 > 0:49:18Nayomie, I was intrigued by your method
0:49:18 > 0:49:20the last time you played this.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22What did you do?
0:49:22 > 0:49:24I counted out loud.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26- You don't just count out loud.- No.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28You count with the help of an animal.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Well, I was counting elephants last time
0:49:30 > 0:49:34but the elephants made me run over so I've going to change my strategy
0:49:34 > 0:49:37slightly, take away a few syllables and just,
0:49:37 > 0:49:40"And one and two and three."
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- Let's see if that strategy works. Good luck, Nayomie.- Thank you.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49And your time starts now.
0:49:49 > 0:49:56And one and two and three and four and five and six...
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Very, very fast with the words.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00..and nine and 10...
0:50:00 > 0:50:03And the rhythm is staying strong this time.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06..and 13 and 14 and 15. That's not a word. And 16..
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Right now, she's lost a little bit.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11I think because she thinks the word CALO won't be allowed.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16..and 21 and 22 and 23 and 24.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18APPLAUSE
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Nayomie, I'm not surprised that people are applauding
0:50:24 > 0:50:29because that was extraordinary. You were so fast, you made 10 words.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31- Two of them you made up.- OK.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34So, we're allowing eight of them. CALO and BEAL are not allowed.
0:50:34 > 0:50:38But eight words gives you 24 points.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40Now, did your system work?
0:50:40 > 0:50:44I want it to have worked. I want those 10 points.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Let's find out whether Nayomie was bang on 24 seconds.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Your time was 25, just one over.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53APPLAUSE
0:50:53 > 0:50:57And I'm sure it's because that last word, you desperately wanted
0:50:57 > 0:50:59to get it in before you pressed the button.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03You scored 24. You're going to lose just one for being one second over.
0:51:03 > 0:51:0523 points is stunningly good.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Nayomie, well done. Let's bring the others in and I shall reveal
0:51:08 > 0:51:13to you how you all got on and how different this was to the heats.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15I mean, what a transformation.
0:51:15 > 0:51:19All three of you have practised the game and you were so good at it.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Two of you were under the time.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26One of you was over the time but only by a second and she made
0:51:26 > 0:51:28so many words it didn't matter.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Because it was absolutely extraordinary.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Nayomie, you win the round, giving you six points. Well done.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36APPLAUSE
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Very, very good from Andy and from Lynn as well.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42Andy, though, you finished second, you get three points.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Lynn, you've come third
0:51:44 > 0:51:47and that, I'm afraid, means no points from this game.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51So, let's see how that round has affected the leaderboard.
0:51:51 > 0:51:55Well, Andy is still in first place with 17 points.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Who is in second?
0:51:57 > 0:52:01It's Nayomie and she's closed the gap, only one point between them.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Nayomie has 16.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06Sadly that means, Lynn, you're in third place with three points.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08You will be going home and I am so sorry
0:52:08 > 0:52:11because I know how much this meant to you.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14It did mean a lot but there are two really good people either
0:52:14 > 0:52:17side of me here so I don't mind losing to these two. That's fine.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Ladies and gentlemen, a brilliant brain. Please congratulate Lynn
0:52:20 > 0:52:23- as she leaves Britain's Brightest. Thank you, Lynn.- Good luck.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26APPLAUSE
0:52:32 > 0:52:35And then there were two and congratulations to Nayomie
0:52:35 > 0:52:37because you have closed the gap.
0:52:37 > 0:52:41Just one point between you and that will be absolutely crucial because
0:52:41 > 0:52:44our last challenge will decide which one of you books their place
0:52:44 > 0:52:50in the final and gives themselves the chance to compete for £50,000.
0:52:50 > 0:52:54To achieve that, you must win the Fight For Survival.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55APPLAUSE
0:52:59 > 0:53:03Now, you are both unbeaten at this challenge until now.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05But, obviously, only one of you can win this time.
0:53:05 > 0:53:09Do you think, Andy, that being a performer helps,
0:53:09 > 0:53:13that actually you're used to raising your game in front of a crowd?
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Definitely. I think when all eyes are on you,
0:53:15 > 0:53:17that's the time to bring it home.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20And, Nayomie, you're an actress as well. Same thing applies?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Yep, absolutely, and it's the ability to put your focus
0:53:22 > 0:53:24completely on something else I'll be using.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27Well, on the screen is a grid of numbers. You must pick a number
0:53:27 > 0:53:29to reveal a question or puzzle.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32What comes up could make the difference
0:53:32 > 0:53:35between going to the final or going home.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37As you know, once you've picked a number,
0:53:37 > 0:53:40your clock will start counting down until you give me a correct answer.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Then your opponent must pick a number
0:53:42 > 0:53:46and tackle a question as their own clock starts ticking.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48If you can't solve a puzzle,
0:53:48 > 0:53:52please pass and choose another number from the grid.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54If your clock runs out of time, your hopes
0:53:54 > 0:53:56of becoming a finalist are over.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00There won't be time for me to give the answers but they are
0:54:00 > 0:54:05all available on our website bbc.co.uk/britainsbrightest.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Nayomie, you are first to play. There's 90 seconds on the clock.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13Andy, as you were ahead on the leaderboard by one point,
0:54:13 > 0:54:17you get an extra two seconds on your clock.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19That advantage could have been much more if,
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Nayomie, you hadn't closed the gap.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23So let's start this Fight For Survival.
0:54:25 > 0:54:26Nayomie, pick a number.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28Two.
0:54:28 > 0:54:29Number two.
0:54:31 > 0:54:32176.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37- That's wrong.- Four. - Pick another number. Four.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45- Pass.- Pick another number.
0:54:45 > 0:54:46Six.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57- Pass.- Pick another number.
0:54:57 > 0:54:5910.
0:55:06 > 0:55:07600.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Is correct. Stop the clock. Andy.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12- Six.- Number Six.
0:55:12 > 0:55:13Porcupine.
0:55:13 > 0:55:14Porcupine is correct.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- One.- Nayomie.
0:55:25 > 0:55:2715.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Is wrong. Pick another number. 9.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Priest.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39- Correct. Stop the clock. Andy.- Two.
0:55:42 > 0:55:43253.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46- Wrong, pick another number.- Four.
0:55:49 > 0:55:50Back.
0:55:50 > 0:55:51Is correct. Stop the clock.
0:55:51 > 0:55:52Three.
0:55:59 > 0:56:00The Tardis.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02- Correct. Stop the clock. Andy.- One.
0:56:05 > 0:56:0714.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09- Is correct. Stop your clock. Nayomie.- 11.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Minus.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21- Is correct. Stop the clock. Andy, pick a number.- 21.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26145.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28- Nayomie, pick a number.- 13.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Pass. 14.
0:56:35 > 0:56:40And you are out of time and that means out of Britain's Brightest.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Andy, that means you are through to the final.
0:56:42 > 0:56:43APPLAUSE
0:56:46 > 0:56:49Well done and well played.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53First of all, Andy, a reaction from you.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Unbelievable. Yeah, I can't believe it. I'm very pleased.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59And who were you thinking of?
0:56:59 > 0:57:03Well, my wife Sarah and Daisy and Charlie,
0:57:03 > 0:57:05who will be watching avidly, I'm sure.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08And, actually, they both really helped you.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Yeah, I think they were my little guardian angels,
0:57:10 > 0:57:13so, yeah, great big squeezes when I get home.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15Will you practise again with them before the final?
0:57:15 > 0:57:17For sure, definitely, yeah.
0:57:17 > 0:57:18Good luck in that, Andy.
0:57:18 > 0:57:23Nayomie, so close and you came back so strongly across the contest
0:57:23 > 0:57:25and I'm afraid that just didn't suit you.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27My brain left the building on the first three questions.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30Porcupine will haunt me for ever, I think.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32But, Andy, a very deserving winner
0:57:32 > 0:57:34and hopefully go on to win it for me, please.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37Well, fantastic stuff, many congratulations to Andy.
0:57:37 > 0:57:39Thanks to all our amazing contestants,
0:57:39 > 0:57:41to our bottle band GlasBlasSing Quintett
0:57:41 > 0:57:43and to Madness.
0:57:43 > 0:57:45With the addition of Andy,
0:57:45 > 0:57:48we now have our five players for next week's final,
0:57:48 > 0:57:53where the very best of the best will think it out for £50,000.
