Russell Davies returns with the first heat in the nationwide general knowledge contest to find the 2014 Brain of Britain.
(1/17)
Russell Davies welcomes the first four contestants in the quest for the 2014 Brain of Britain.
Forty-eight competitors from all over Britain take part this winter, with the eventual winner being named the sixty-first Brain of Britain champion in the spring of 2014. The longest-running general knowledge quiz on British radio is still the title every serious quiz contestant wants to win.
Whether it's science, history, music, mythology, popular culture, literature or sport, there's no telling what the next question will be about, and no clever strategies to resort to if you don't know the answer. There's a point for every correct answer and a bonus point for getting five right in a row. There are no other rules!
The programme also offers the chance for a listener to 'Beat the Brains' by suggesting questions which might be more than a match for the combined knowledge of the contestants.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
