Which fabric is named after the French city of Nîmes?

Welcome back to Lateral, and this is the first elimination match.

At the end of this game one of these two teams is going to be going home.

Let's meet them, and we start with Team Pinky and the Brain.

and it turns out I'm not Pinky and the Brain, I'm just Pinky.

Hi, I'm Joel, it turns out I might be the Brain,

And I also make Minecraft YouTube videos.

Now, it was pretty close in your last match,

what have you learned, what are you going to do differently?

I don't think we're going to do much differently,

we're just going to try and answer questions correctly this time.

I have to remember that this is team Terminator.

because I was at primary school when the Terminator films came out.

And you don't get called Arney without getting…

I am Dr Kat Arney, I'm a science writer, broadcaster and older sister of…

I am one third of the science comedy group Festival of the Spoken Nerd

If it says anything about how I would be at this game,

I have only just realised the connection between "Arnie" and team Terminator,

There are six lateral thinking questions in this round

and 60 seconds on the clock for each of them.

The earlier you buzz in, the more points you'll get.

But if you wait, I will be giving you clues every 15 seconds.

So if we're all ready, first question goes to you guys, and we start now.

Which animal, most commonly brown in colour and seen in December,

has four legs, three heads and two hearts?

-What has two hearts? -What has three heads?

-Maybe it's a… -Yeah, that is another weird thing.

Maybe it's not an alive animal, I've gathered from…

-Christmas or… -Reindeers don't have three heads though.

No, they don't, neither do other animals.

It is an animal because it said, 'which animal'.

Usually brown, usually brown, not necessarily brown.

-We might need to wait for another clue. -Yeah, because I have literally no idea.

It's not the dog from Harry Potter, that's the only thing I can think of with three heads.

-As much as I would love for it to be. -I have no idea.

Sadly there was not a three headed Rudolph guarding the…

I've not actually seen Harry Potter, so I don't know.

It's our favourite childhood game to play.

-Pantomime horse. -Pantomime horse, for one point.

-It's exactly right. -I was always the bum end.

It has two working parts, the four legs, the people in it,

the three heads are the one of the horse costume

-and the two hearts inside it. -It makes sense now, yeah.

So that's one point to team Terminator, and the next question to you as well.

In 1991, New Scientist reported that a free phone number ending 123580

would feature in a new advertising campaign.

I mean question number one is how do they know my PIN number?

right, okay, genuinely, it's not my pin number anymore but...

This was in the days before Googling phone numbers was easy.

So it spells out a T, 123580, spells out a T, that's why I used to use it as my pin code,

you know when we used to have phone codes

Like free phone codes, that was my free phone code.

This wouldn't work on old style rotary phones.

-Yeah, it's one... It's a T. No, it's... -Okay, so it's a text number, isn't it?

Is it Yellow Pages, do you think it's the Yellow Pages?

or it's to tell some people about something to do with T.

What's a night-time service that begins with T?

-Treason, trees, tree. -And that is time.
