Russell Davies chairs the nationwide general knowledge quiz, with contestants aiming for the title Brain of Britain 2014. Contenders are from London, Berkshire and Cornwall.

(5/17)
Which philosopher's best known work is the 'Critique of Pure Reason'? Russell Davies has the question, and will be hoping one of this week's contestants has the answer, as they start their bid for the title Brain of Britain 2014.

This week's contenders are from London, Berkshire and Cornwall. The winner will take a place in the series semi-finals, and move a step closer to the 61st Brain of Britain title which will be awarded in the spring. The questions cover the widest possible range of general knowledge, from history, science, mythology and the Classics to film, music and popular culture.

As always there'll be a chance for a listener to win a prize with questions designed to outwit the contestants, in 'Beat the Brains'.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
