The nationwide general knowledge quiz reaches the second semi-final of the 2013 series, with Russell Davies in the questionmaster's chair.
(14/17)
In the metamorphosis of arthropods and other organisms, what is meant by the word 'exuvia'? And what's the Spanish word for summer?
Russell Davies tests the general knowledge of four more semi-finalists who have come successfully through the heats of this year's competition. One of them will win a place in the Final and a real chance of taking the title 'Brain of Britain 2013'.
The questions get tougher as the contest proceeds: so they will need to draw on all their reserves of knowledge of every field from history and mythology, science and geography, literature and music, to current affairs and contemporary culture.
There will also be the chance for a listener to win a prize by coming up with questions that could stump the contestants.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
