Heat 11, 2016

Russell Davies chairs the penultimate heat of the 2016 contest, the winner of which will go through to the semi-finals.

(11/17)
The All England club at Wimbledon officially caters for tennis and which other sport? What are the first two prime numbers you come to when counting upwards from 100? Which border is the setting for author Cormac McCarthy's so-called 'Border Trilogy'?

These are just three of the questions the competitors have to face in the penultimate heat of this year's Brain of Britain contest. Russell Davies is in the chair, at Media City UK in Salford. The winner will go through to the semi-finals next month.

There's also a chance for a listener to 'Beat the Brains' and win a prize with devious questions of his or her own.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
