Heat 1, 2017
The 2017 season of the perennial general knowledge quiz is hosted by Russell Davies, with competitors from all over the UK.
(1/17)
Russell Davies launches the 2017 season of the perennial general knowledge tournament, welcoming the first four contenders to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maida Vale studios. In the opening contest they hail from London, Carlisle, Richmond in Surrey and Elgin on the Moray Firth. Over the next few months a total of 48 hopeful contestants will be whittled down to 16 semi-finalists and, eventually, four Finalists - the prize being the title of 64th Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Brain of Britain.
Each week there'll also be a chance, as always, for a listener to win a prize by suggesting a pair of devious questions with which to 'Beat the Brains'.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
