Russell Davies welcomes another four competitors in the latest heat of the general knowledge quiz.

(5/17)
Which writer's first published novel, 'Jumping The Queue' appeared when she was aged 70? And in a special televised ceremony at the end of 1999, who was named Sports Personality of the 20th Century?

Russell Davies chairs the latest heat of the longest-running general knowledge quiz on British radio, this week from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maida Vale studios. Competitors from Swindon, Reading, London and Petersfield in Hampshire try for a place in the 2013 semi-finals.

As always, there's a chance for a listener to 'Beat the Brains' by devising questions that may outwit all four contestants.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
