Scientific Experiment Edutainment "Ultimate Brain"
Remade in Britain and China!

Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV) proudly announces that "Ultimate Brain", our scientific experiment edutainment program, has been remade in Britain and China. The British version began airing on July 26th and the Chinese version will start broadcasting on August 3rd. Since the original broadcast in Japan (October to December 2011, Wednesdays, 00:55 AM to 1:25 AM), we at Nippon TV have sought to deliver the format to the world. This marks the first time that "Ultimate Brain" is localized and broadcast abroad. We as a company will continue to build upon this momentum and actively pursue further format sales and localizations of "Ultimate Brain" in North America, Southeast Asia, and other regions.
